Chapter 462: Catching the Thief
The woman then remembered that the thief was still in the yard, and Wan Laoer was still in the yard helping their family watch out for the thief.
The woman cried out, clapped her hands, and ran out in a hurry.
The torches in the yard were extinguished, and the only source of light was the moon in the sky. At this time, the sheep in the yard had already leisurely returned to the sheepfold. A man lying on the ground could be seen at a glance. Wan Laoer was guarding the gate, far away from the thieves. He still held a stick tightly in one hand, and in the other hand held a dagger that he had just snatched from the thief.
Fubao ran out behind the woman and saw Wan Laoer standing at the gate. She immediately trotted over.
"Daddy, uncle's bleeding has stopped." Fubao boasted.
Wan Laoer reluctantly praised: "My daughter is really capable. She will become a little doctor soon." But he was thinking in his heart: How can such expensive medicine not be used to stop the disease?
Fu Bao became happy, "Well, I must become a miracle doctor in the future to cure the people's diseases and let them live healthy lives."
After listening to this, Wan Laoer couldn't help but feel happy. His daughter had a good wish. In the future, they would have a doctor at home and wouldn't have to go to the clinic when they were sick.
But Fubao said again: "If poor people come to me for treatment, I will waive their medical expenses. They are so pitiful. When they are sick, they have no money to see a doctor and can only wait to die at home. Life is so precious, everyone should cherish it."
Wan Laoer almost vomited blood. It seemed that his daughter's ability to squander the family business had not been used to its full potential. There were so many poor people in the world. How much medical expenses would this have to pay?
But Fubao became happier and happier as she talked, and didn't notice her father's bitter face at all.
One of the two men was talking while the other was frantically calculating the score in his mind, not noticing that the thief lying on the ground had quietly woken up.
The woman wanted to go forward to check, but found something unusual. Thinking that the man still had a knife in his hand, the woman couldn't help but take a step back.
She didn't know that Wan Laoer had confiscated the thief's weapon.
The woman bypassed the thief and ran to Wan Laoer.
"Brother, that man seems to be awake, but he is quiet. Is he pretending to be dead? He still has a knife in his hand. Should we go out and call for help?"
The woman didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have taken his knife. He can't hurt anyone now. But I would like to trouble you to find a rope so that I can tie him up. This way we are all safe. This man is very cunning. I am afraid he has other sharp weapons on him."
The woman nodded immediately and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. I'll go right away. You guys be careful."
The woman walked around the thief and went into the house to find a rope.
At this time, the thief squirmed on the ground, as if he was touching his neck, where Wan Laoer had just hit him hard with a stick, knocking him unconscious. The thief's neck must be feeling a little uncomfortable.
Wan Laoer freed one hand to tightly grasp his daughter's wrist, while his eyes were watching the thief's movements.
The thief groaned and cried out in pain, then slowly climbed up from the ground, still shaking a little. His face was covered with sheep's blood, which had frozen to his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes, and for a moment he could not see the surrounding environment.
Wan Laoer quickly pulled Fubao close to the door to be on guard against thieves at all times.
The woman took out a rope from the house at this time. Seeing that the thief had already crawled up from the ground, she was so scared that she stopped where she was and dared not move. She looked at Wan Laoer for help.
But it was dark and Wan Laoer couldn't see the woman's pleading eyes.
The thief staggered a few times, wiped his face hard with his hands, and finally saw the surrounding situation clearly.
Wan Laoer was in the dark, so the thief didn't notice him for a while and walked straight towards the gate.
Wan Laoer immediately became fully alert, pulled Fubao behind him, and handed the dagger in his hand to Fubao.
"Girl, protect yourself. If that man dares to hurt you, stab him to death."
Fubao held the dagger in both hands and nodded seriously.
Wan Laoer swallowed nervously, clenched the stick in his hand, swung the stick and rushed towards the thief. He had to strike first and knock the thief down again before he could react.
But the thief had already discovered Wan Laoer, and when Wan Laoer rushed out, he shouted loudly, so it would be strange if no one had discovered him.
The man only had time to see the shadow of Wan Laoer running out, and he subconsciously dodged to the side.
Wan Laoer missed his target, and the man moved towards Wan Laoer's back like a nimble monkey, trying to subdue him from behind.
Wan Laoer was no pushover either. After stabilizing himself, he rolled on the ground and hit the man hard in the calf.
The man screamed in pain and rubbed his calf hard.
Once Wan Laoer succeeded, he swung his sword several times in a row. However, because he was lying on the ground, his strength was limited. Even if he used all his strength, he could not exert half of his normal strength, but it was enough to beat the man.
While the man was jumping around, Wan Laoer quickly got up from the ground and swung the stick in his hand with great force, raining down on the thief.
The thief, who had just wanted to fight hard, was beaten by the stick in Wan Laoer's hand and ran around the yard in fear.
Wan Laoer was chasing him relentlessly from behind. Finally, the man couldn't stand it anymore and quickly knelt down with his head in his hands and begged for mercy. If he continued to be beaten, he would die.
The woman quickly handed over the rope, and Wan Laoer tied up the thief neatly.
Only then will everyone be safe.
The woman was very anxious to know who this thief was. Their family had been raising sheep for so many years, and only a few sheep had been lost in the wild, never lost at home, and no one had come to steal sheep. If the couple had not gone to the town to inquire about the news today, this man would not have taken advantage of the opportunity.
The woman was very regretful at this time. If she had not been worried about the man going to the town alone and insisted on following him, this kind of thing would not have happened at home. On the other hand, it also showed that this man had been keeping an eye on their family's movements, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that the thief came to their door as soon as they left.
If they hadn't turned back halfway today, this guy would have really succeeded.
The woman was filled with fear. They had so many sheep, and the New Year was approaching. These were all hard-earned money, and would be their food for the coming year.
The woman became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. The most important thing was that this man not only stole sheep but also injured people and stabbed her man so badly that he left a bloody hole.
The woman angrily lit the torch again, wanting to see the thief's true face, but found that his face was covered with blood.
She handed the torch to Wan Laoer, turned around and went to the kitchen, scooped half a basin of cold water from the water tank, and poured it directly on the thief's face.
In the cold winter, the thief was startled by the cold water and almost jumped up from the ground, but his body was pinned to the ground by Wan Laoer with a stick and he could not move.
