Lu Yu lowered his head and asked Qin Wan with a smile: "We have time to go hunt some rabbits recently, okay?"
"Okay, I've wanted to go up the mountain for a long time. Your idea really hits the spot."
As she spoke, Qin Wan pouted her little mouth towards Lu Yu's.
Lu Yu suddenly felt like he was on fire, burning hot. If he were at home, he would definitely push this little woman onto the bed and let her know that men should not be teased.
He resisted the urge to hug his wife and said:
"Then it's settled. We'll go up the mountain tomorrow so that when Aunt Zhang leaves, we can give her a rabbit or a pheasant."
Seeing that the man was obviously very angry, Qin Wan had to suppress his anger and smiled in an unkind way.
She hummed and looked elsewhere.
When Lu Yu saw his wife smiling, he couldn't help but feel in a good mood and couldn't help but smile too.
Seeing his wife walking forward, he hurried over and held her hand. He thought, my wife is a bad navigator, what if she gets lost?
The two walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, at a brisk pace. They spent the whole morning chatting and laughing, discussing things, and buying quite a few things.
The sunlight shines on them, reflecting two faces filled with happy and sweet smiles, like a beautiful and moving painting.
Just as they were happily immersed in the joy of crazy shopping,
A middle-aged man in a black shirt with a high collar, with only half of his face exposed, was approaching them quietly like a ghost.
This man's movements were strange. His evasive eyes were like those of a frightened hare, constantly looking around. His shifty look made it clear at a glance that he was not a good person and was obviously someone with bad intentions.
The attentive Qin Wan and the quick-witted Lu Yu noticed this unusual situation almost at the same time.
After exchanging glances in perfect tacit understanding, the two men simultaneously slowed down their pace and cautiously followed the sneaky man closely, fearing to alert him.
At this moment, a thrilling pursuit contest quietly begins...
In order to avoid alerting the man, Qin Wan and Lu Yu pretended to be calm and stood in front of a busy stall, carefully selecting the juicy fresh fruits.
The sunlight shines on the stalls, reflecting the attractive luster of the fruits, as if each one exudes a sweet fragrance.
After buying the fruit and paying, Lu Yu casually picked up a bright red apple they had just bought. He first examined it carefully, then gently wiped off any dust that might have remained on it with his sleeve. Then, with a smile on his face, he handed it to Qin Wan and said softly:
"Try this, it looks good."
Qin Wan nodded slightly, took the apple, took a light bite, and the sweet and sour juice instantly overflowed in her mouth.
However, at this seemingly calm and peaceful moment, the sinister thief seized the opportunity, quietly stretched out his dirty hands, and like a slippery loach, quietly reached into the pocket of a simply dressed aunt.
"Be careful! There's a thief!"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious cry, like a siren piercing the sky, startled everyone around. Many people quickly stopped what they were doing and went to find where they had put their money.
Qin Wan and Lu Yu smiled bitterly at each other upon seeing this.
They were about to catch the thief red-handed, but the shout interrupted the man's further actions. Even if they took the man to the police station, if he refused to admit it, there would be nothing they could do.
They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young girl in light blue cotton coat and trousers pointing anxiously at the sneaky thief. Her eyes were clear and firm, and she shouted loudly without fear.
The thief was frightened by the sudden shouting, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant. Like a frightened rabbit, he hurriedly tried to retract his hand, then turned around and ran away.
But at this time, Qin Wan and Lu Yu had come to their senses, and their movements were as swift as wind and thunder.
The two men chased the thief in the direction of his escape without hesitation, and soon formed a pincer attack from the front and back, trapping the thief tightly in the middle.
"What on earth are you trying to do? Are you stealing in broad daylight?"
Lu Yu's eyes were wide open, burning with rage. He questioned the thief angrily, his voice so deafening that it attracted the attention of many stall owners and passers-by.
Faced with Lu Yu's harsh scolding, the thief was already scared out of his wit, his face pale, his whole body trembling, and he stammered some unclear words, unable to fully express his meaning.
At this moment, the stall owners who were busy with their own business around here put down their work after hearing the noise and quickly gathered here.
Each of them had an angry expression on their face and kept muttering to themselves. The scene was really lively.
One of the burly uncles was the first to shout:
"Whose child is this? He actually comes out to do such sneaky things during the New Year. Isn't he tired of working all day long?" His voice was as loud as a bell, attracting everyone's attention.
Then, a gray-haired old lady nearby pointed at the thief with a trembling hand and said with deep sorrow:
"Oh my, what's wrong with the world these days? I run into these shameless, morally corrupt people everywhere I go! They're so young and don't behave properly, instead learning all these crooked ways to steal and take advantage of others. What will they do when they grow up?"
As she spoke, she kept shaking her head and sighing.
At this time, someone in the crowd echoed loudly:
"That's right, this nasty little thief should be taken straight to the police station and taught a lesson! Let's see if he dares to do it again!"
After hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement, expressing their approval of the proposal. Suddenly, a chorus of condemnation and criticism filled the market, stirring up an uproar.
One of the stall owners, a burly man, waved his fist in anger and shouted loudly, and the crowd echoed in agreement.
Qin Wan and Lu Yi looked at each other and nodded. They decided to hand the thief over to the police to maintain public security and order in the market.
With the help of everyone, the thief was successfully subdued and taken to a nearby police station. The police praised Qin Wan and Lu Yi for their bravery and promised to deal with the thief according to the law.
"I don't think the thief will admit it." Qin Wan said to Lu Yu.
