After sitting down in the main hall in the backyard, Naru felt that Xia Youyou's hands were cold and she was a little worried about her. "Why are your hands so cold? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Youyou shook her head. It wasn't because she felt unwell that her hands were cold. "There are a few days like this every month." She said it vaguely, but as a woman, she naturally understood.
"Then keep warm for the next few days. If there's a suitable Chinese medicine doctor, go see him." Na Ru studied medicine, but in Western medicine surgery. She yearned to heal illnesses and save lives, but she didn't study gynecology. "Western medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine can truly alleviate the problem. I'll ask for your help when I get home."
"Okay." Xia Youyou was also tortured by this problem. If it could be cured, she would certainly be happy.
As the two were talking, three men came in carrying dishes. They were having dinner a little early tonight because the three of them were going to a spot tonight.
After dinner, Cao An first sent Na Ru back to school before coming back to squat over there with the two of them. They squatted there until late at night.
Several dark shadows sneaked in from the back wall. Cao An had sharp ears, so he stood up and looked down from the second-floor window as soon as he heard any movement.
Qi Siling and Xiao Hai followed closely behind, peering out another window. They saw several men in black crouching in the backyard, peering inside with flashlights. The three of them, hunched over on the second-floor bunk bed, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw someone finally appear. They weren't afraid of them coming, they were just afraid of them not showing up, leaving them empty-handed.
After a quick look, there should be six of them. Cao An took out Xia Youyou's stun baton from his space, gave two to Xiao Hai, and led the two of them quietly down the stairs to the first floor.
"Brother Jin, we can't sell these for much money. They're just wood and paint. When are you going to take us to do something bigger?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
The man with the flashlight looked around cautiously, afraid of being discovered. He didn't steal much the first time he brought people here, but the next day, when he found that no one noticed, he started to intensify his theft, stealing more and more.
He also felt that the profit from this thing was too little, but when he saw them demolishing the yard and building such a tall building, he just felt unhappy!
Cao An raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the voice. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
After making a gesture to the two people behind him, the three of them separated and passed behind the people carrying things.
"ah!"
As one person fell to the ground, the person in front of him who was carrying something with him was caught off guard and the thing fell directly on his back foot. A scream was heard, accompanied by the "sizzling" sound of electricity, and the others were startled and turned their heads.
Several people noticed a tall and ferocious figure, who was obviously the leader. He knew Cao An and wanted to run away as soon as he saw him.
Cao An ignored the man who was still screaming and kicked him in the waist. With a scream, the man fell to the ground. Cao An put his big palm on his head and pressed it into the mud, making him eat a mouthful of dirt.
Holding his collar and forcing him to look up, Cao An finally remembered who this man was.
"It's you!"
This person was the one who was pulled out of the crowd at his doorstep by Cao An on the first day of work, Xianren Jin!
Xianren Jin felt a sharp pain in his waist, forcing him to look up at him. He pulled a small knife from his waist and stabbed it at Cao An. The flashlight just happened to shine a cold light, and Qi Siling, who had staggered to the side, reacted quickly and stepped on his hand, knocking the knife to the ground.
Qi Siling was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced at Cao An. It was also thanks to his previous long-distance travel that he encountered many robbers on the road. Those people really didn't care about their lives. Not to mention knives, they even had machetes.
Cao An, a public security officer, certainly noticed the man's movements, but his tall stature blocked his view, and by the time he noticed, the knife had already fallen to the ground. He glanced at Qi Siling with gratitude and tied the man up.
Looking at the small knife on the ground that was not even as long as my finger, it was obviously the kind used to sharpen pencils. I didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Xiao Hai's skills weren't as good as the other two before, but since he started living and eating with them, he's been training passively every day. Now, beating up two people alone is pretty easy. He took the rope and tied them up together, then clapped his hands and stood still with his hands on his hips.
"Huh, finally my efforts paid off." Xiao Hai stood beside Qi Siling and raised his arm to put it on his shoulder. However, he was half a head shorter than Qi Siling, and it was a bit difficult to raise his arm. He lowered it awkwardly. "Brother Cao, what should we do with these people?"
"Send him to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow." Cao An had no intention of letting things go peacefully and was determined to do what needed to be done.
"Don't!" The bound people began to explain at once. No one knew who spoke first, but they immediately started to argue with each other. "Idle Jin asked me to come here. I didn't know you were going to steal anything."
"Yes, yes, it's Idle Man Jin who told us to do this."
Xianren Jin was pinned down and unable to move, trying to silence them. "I told you to come, and you came? I told you to eat shit, and you're not going to eat it!"
Cao An and the other two stood there, watching the farce unfold. "Idle Jin, huh? Tell me, why did you steal from my house?"
"What's wrong with stealing things from your house? These things are not worth much money. It would be difficult for me to sell them if I stole them!" He was dragged out by Cao An in front of the neighbors that day. He lost face and money, and he was so angry that he came up with this idea.
Cao An kicked him in the chest, and seeing that he couldn't catch his breath, he squatted down with amusement. "Why are you pretending? I didn't even use any strength." He was holding back. If he had kicked him with all his strength, he would probably be dead by now!
Xianren Jin awkwardly stopped pretending and coughed.
"The things I stole from your house are still in my house. Can you please let me go?"
"Then tell me, what was your purpose? Why did you steal? Who are they?"
"They are educated youth who returned to the city. I pulled them here from the black market. I even take care of their meals every day. I had no choice! I was so angry when you dragged me out that day that I came up with this idea." The idler Jin confessed the truth. He really didn't have any bad intentions. He just liked to steal petty things in the alleys, but he didn't do anything serious like robbing houses.
Cao An slapped him on the head. "If you have this ability, why don't you do something else? Why do you have to do this petty theft? Don't you feel guilty?"
Xianren Jin had nothing to say. If there really was such a good opportunity to make money, why wouldn't he want to do it? But the question was, where would he go? He had been kicked out of the factory, and everyone in the alley knew who he was. No one wanted to interact with him, and he was content with his quiet life.
"I'm giving you a way now. Go with them and bring the things back to me intact. Don't run away, or I'll have plenty of ways to catch you!"
Cao An waved his hand, and Xiao Hai squatted down to help him untie the rope.
"Brother Cao, are we just going to let them go? Or why not just send them to the Public Security Bureau?"
Qi Siling didn't move, but after hearing this, he spoke up, "Let's go move together. I have to go back to accompany Youyou." If they finished work early, Youyou would probably still be awake. She needed him to hold her every night to fall asleep, and especially today, she wasn't feeling well, so he wanted to go back early to accompany her.
