Chapter 210: Booing
Hei San died before he could finish his words, scaring Bai San beside him so much that his face turned pale. They were the ones who always took other people's lives, but this was the first time he was so close to death.
At this time, the onlookers also started to make a fuss.
"Wan Xingmo, why did you kill him? Although he is a thief, he obviously knows how to make everyone rich. Do you think you did it on purpose?"
"I think he did it on purpose. This family is all related. Maybe they all know how to make money but are hiding it from us. Otherwise, how could a bunch of exiles have so much money? How can they eat delicious food every day and have the aroma of meat fill the village?"
Wan Xingmo ignored these people. Although he arrived late and didn't know why thieves broke into the Wan family, he could infer from what Hei San had just said that these two people must have known about the things on the notice and found out the whereabouts of Xiao Fubao. Thinking of this, Wan Xingmo's eyes dimmed.
He originally wanted to kill Bai San directly, but it seems that this man cannot be killed now. He wants to torture him to find out where they got the whereabouts of Xiao Fubao.
Wan Xingmo walked straight up to the two brothers, picked up his sword from the ground, then grabbed Bai San by the collar, and with a few moves, he was out of the village.
Seeing what Wan Xingmo had done, the villagers who had been shouting loudly just now tucked their tails tightly between their legs like dogs that had lost their homes.
"Well, no wonder he's rich. If I had the ability to climb walls and fly over rooftops, I'd have money too. Let's go. Stop imagining. What good words can a thief say?"
The villagers who were close to the Wan family took the initiative to stand up and speak for the Wan family.
If there is one, there will be a second one. After all, everyone was shocked by Wan Xingmo's move.
"That's right. This thief didn't steal anything, but lost his life. He must have said something to make everyone excited. His purpose is to wait for them to die, and then use us to deal with the Wan family and avenge them. Don't be blinded by this. Go back to sleep. We still have to work in the fields tomorrow. The rain has saved the crops and moistened the weeds. We also have to get rid of the weeds in our fields. How can we have the energy to worry about other people's problems?"
A man who was close to Boss Wan, with his hands behind his back, spoke slowly, then turned and left.
Soon, everyone in the Wan family's yard dispersed.
The Wan family's yard was in a mess. Because someone had died, Old Mrs. Wan kept all the children in the house and would not let them out for fear that they would be frightened to death.
Wan Jinshu and Wan Xingchen helped the Wan family clean up the mess, especially the corpse, which Wan Jinshu carried away directly.
"Jin Gui, I've seen a lot of corpses like this. You have many women, children, and kids in your family, so I'll just take them away and dispose of them. Don't follow me out. Take care of the yard. The bloody smell is strong, so don't attract wolves. We live in the last row, and it's easy for wolves to jump into the yard from the top of the slope at the back, so be careful."
After giving some instructions, Wan Jinshu left with his youngest son.
Boss Wan knew very well that wolves were more ferocious than humans. He could compete with humans but not with wolves.
He immediately worked with Wan Laoer and Wan Laosi to clean the yard with water, and evenly sprinkled wood ash in the yard, which would greatly reduce the bloody smell.
Boss Wan took a look at the door panel with two big holes in it and thought that the house was uninhabitable tonight. What if a wolf came? Wouldn't there be no way to stop it?
After thinking it over, he went into the house and discussed it with Old Lady Wan.
"Mom, let's move to the second brother's yard tonight. I'll get up at dawn tomorrow and fix the door. It will be safer. I'm worried about you and the children at home. If the smell of blood really attracts wolves, we won't be able to deal with them."
Without anyone's persuasion, Old Mrs. Wan immediately rolled up her bedding and went out.
Boss Wan chuckled and took a few boys to the next yard, and told Fourth Brother Wan to close the doors and windows of the west wing. Their west wing was not damaged and was still safe. Even if a wolf came, it could not get in.
Just as the eldest brother Wan was helping the old lady Wan to make the bedding, the second brother Wan and his wife followed them into the upper room.
"Mom, the two thieves tonight are not from our village. I heard from the child's father that he has never seen them before. Why did they sneak into our house? Could it be that they followed us from the town? Do they know that our family is rich?" Wan Ersao's heart was still pounding, and she felt a little uneasy.
Old Mrs. Wan sat cross-legged on the kang and told her little grandchildren to get into bed and go to sleep.
She sighed and expressed her guess.
"I guess it's the notice that caused the trouble. I heard them talking about the child in the yard just now, saying that he had good food and good drinks, and that he had mountains of gold and silver. I guessed that they must want to steal Xiao Fubao so that they can exchange him for money."
Wan Ersao felt even more upset after hearing this. Everyone wanted to exchange her daughter for money, and no one had any mercy. Her little Fubao was only a child less than two years old.
"Mom, how do you think these two people knew the whereabouts of Xiao Fubao tonight? I'm sure we have never met these two people, so they can't know that Xiao Fubao is in our house."
Wan Laoer remained relatively calm and asked questions that were very direct and to the point.
Wan Laoer's words made everyone present fall into deep thought, and even Wan Er's wife had no energy to think about other issues.
Boss Wan said, "Apart from the people in this village, the people in the town rarely see Xiao Fubao. Whenever she goes to the town, she basically plays in the backyard. The people in the town are not familiar with her. In addition, the portrait on the notice is the appearance of Xiao Fubao a year ago, which must be different from now. Therefore, this range can be basically determined to be within this village."
Wan Laoda's words were agreed by the whole family, but who has been to the town recently? Because of the rain in the past two days, everyone was busy weeding and fertilizing, and basically no one went to the town, except Yu and Li who went to the town to help. However, the two did not return to Shizi Village today because the road was not easy to walk on, so they stayed in the shop to rest tonight.
"Could it be Yu or Li?" Wan Ersao would not let go of anyone she suspected at this time.
Old Lady Wan was still in her mind. She shook her head and said, "Impossible. The third son said that he took down the notice as soon as he found it. Yu and Li are helping in the kitchen. They don't have time to go out. So these two people should not know about this yet."
Just when the family was suspicious, Wan Xingmo returned.
Wan Xingmo came to the old courtyard of the Wan family and found that there was no one in the upper room, so he went directly to the next courtyard. He saw that the lights were on in the upper room of the next courtyard. He thought that they had moved here to rest tonight.
Wan Xingmo walked forward and pushed the door open. The door made a noise and the people inside stopped talking and looked outside.
