Everyone squatted in the haystack, waiting for the gang of thieves to come, but from 10 pm to 8 am the next day, no one showed up.
This made everyone exhausted, and they had to go home reluctantly.
Zhou Bin almost didn't sleep the whole night and was extremely tired. He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he got home.
Some people in the village began to complain, saying that the village chief and Zhou Bin were talking nonsense.
There are no tomb robbers there!
Besides, that piece of land has been a wasteland for many years, and I have never heard of any treasures there.
They are probably just imagining things and talking nonsense!
Zhou Bin slept until dark and then got up suddenly.
Without saying a word, he went to the village chief again and told him to continue to wait today.
Zhou Defu was a little embarrassed: "Zhou Bin, we waited all night yesterday, but no one showed up. We are all exhausted, so why are we still going today?"
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "It's only been one night! Maybe they will come today."
Seeing that Zhou Bin was so serious, Zhou Defu had no choice but to notify everyone to go and wait.
Some people came again without saying anything, and some simply didn't come.
Especially the women, they had lost interest and many of them didn't come. Only a few people like Aunt Zhao and Liu Fen'e came.
Everyone continued to hide in the haystack, waiting for the thieves to arrive.
One hour, two hours, three hours passed, and still there was no movement.
Now everyone was getting impatient and thought this was a joke. There were no thieves there and it was a complete waste of time.
Zhou Defu was also a little annoyed, wondering if this matter was reliable.
Even Zhou Bin felt a little surprised. He clearly heard that group of people say that they would come over, so why didn’t they come anymore?
There is no choice but to keep waiting.
In this way, everyone waited until the second half of the night, but the group still did not show up.
So everyone went home and went to bed without saying anything.
On the third day, Zhou Bin was too sleepy to bear it anymore and thought, maybe those people won't come back?
Then he decided not to go out at night. After all, hiding in the bushes all the time would make people tired to death.
So he went home and fell into a deep sleep, not caring about those things for the time being.
He was so tired that he slept until noon. He didn't get up until Li Nan called him to eat.
Li Nan brought him a bowl of oil-splashed noodles, which was red with chili and looked very fragrant.
He took the bowl, sat under a big tree in the yard and started to eat with relish.
He stirred it and ate it at the same time, adding a clove of garlic. It tasted really delicious.
Just as he was immersed in the aroma of the oil-splashed noodles, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Bin looked at him in surprise. Who was coming? Usually, villagers would come in directly without knocking.
He responded, "Come in, there's someone home."
Suddenly the door opened and a smiling middle-aged man came in.
I saw that the man looked very unfamiliar. He was carrying a load on his shoulders and some small things in two bamboo baskets.
There were needles and thread, plastic shoes, and toys for the dolls.
As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Boss, you are at home."
Zhou Bin stood up and said, "What do you want?"
The man smiled and said, "I am here to exchange rags. Do you have any rags at home that I can exchange for shoes or toys for your kids?"
Zhou Bin laughed and said, "You have come to my house to exchange junk, why don't you shout on the street? If you shout, people will come."
The man smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't shout, it's just that there was no one on the street. I saw that your house was nice, so I came in to ask first."
Zhou Bin smiled and put the bowl aside, then shouted into the house, "Xiao Nan, come out quickly, there's someone here to change junk."
Li Nan heard Zhou Bin's shout and ran out in a hurry.
She liked these junk exchangers the most; they always brought something new.
Zhou Jianming heard the voice and came out, asking, "What are you changing?"
The man smiled and said, "It's just some odds and ends and toys, as well as a pipe mouthpiece and pipe handle. Do you want some?"
Zhou Jianming became interested as soon as he heard it and hurried over.
Li Nan also started to rummage through his basket. She immediately took a fancy to the bunch of flower hairbands and bows. Xiaohua would definitely like this thing.
Zhou Bin smiled and said, "You have quite a lot of odds and ends here. What's your name?"
The man grinned and said, "My last name is Zhang, and they all call me Zhang Laosan."
Zhou Bin nodded: "Brother Zhang, how is your business? Can you make money?"
Zhang Laosan laughed: "What kind of money can I make? Just enough to make ends meet."
Zhou Bin shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid that's not the case, right? You can definitely make money, otherwise you work hard all day, why do this?"
Zhang Laosan seemed a little absent-minded, and kept looking around, as if he wanted to see Zhou Bin's house clearly.
Zhou Bin was a little surprised and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Laosan immediately covered it up and said, "Oh, no, nothing, your house is really beautiful! By the way, in addition to exchanging junk, I also collect things. Your house is so nice, do you have any treasures?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bin immediately became alert. Hmm? Baby? What does this guy want to do?
Li Nan and Zhou Jianming also felt a little strange. What did this person mean by saying this?
Zhou Bin pretended to be ignorant and said, "Baby? What kind of treasure do we have here? We are poor people who have to dig for food in the soil all day long. Let alone the baby, we can't even eat enough."
Zhang Laosan laughed and said, "Brother, you are being too modest. Your house is so beautiful, how can you not have enough to eat? Is there really no treasure in your village?"
