Taking advantage of the rustling sound of corn leaves, Xu Jianguo quietly approached one of them and stopped less than two meters behind him.
After careful observation, I found that Li Deli and the guy with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks were about five or six meters away from here.
At this time, the man in front of Xu Jianguo was harvesting corn frantically, and had no idea that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.
Just as the man put down the scissors and put the corn scattered on the ground into the bag, Xu Jianguo moved.
He suddenly jumped up like a cheetah pouncing on its prey, covered the man's mouth with his left hand, and knocked him unconscious with a knife strike with his right hand. Then he moved his mind and put the man into the space without making any sound.
Xu Jianguo lay on the ground, carefully observing the reactions of Li Deli and another person. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they did not move unusually.
After collecting the scissors and corn on the ground, Xu Jianguo moved closer to the guy with a pointed chin and monkey face.
This guy was obviously much more vigilant than the previous one. When he was stealing corn, he would often stop, listen to the sounds around him, and then continue working. This also caused some minor impact on Xu Jianguo, but it was not a big problem.
When this guy put down the scissors and started to pack corn, Xu Jianguo attacked again and easily put him into the space.
Looking at Li Deli in the distance, Xu Jianguo found that he didn't notice the situation here, and sighed in his heart.
Xu Jianguo remembered that when the original owner was young, he was very sympathetic to Li Deli's situation, but as he grew up, the complete values of right and wrong taught by his parents made him feel more and more that Li Deli's approach was wrong.
As usual, after collecting the corns with scissors on the ground, Xu Jianguo slowly came behind Li Deli and knocked him unconscious without any pause.
After releasing the other two from the space, Xu Jianguo took out a rope and tied up the three of them tightly, then picked some corn leaves and stuffed them into their mouths, and finally put their tools and stolen goods aside.
After finishing all these, Xu Jianguo found a place to sit down, took out a bowl of well water and two chicken feet from the space and started eating.
He didn't call anyone directly because he felt that dawn would soon arrive and wanted everyone to rest for a while. After all, they still had a day of work to do today, so two or three hours wouldn't make a difference.
But what he didn't expect was that outside the village at this time, Niu Gang, who had previously surrounded Xu Jianguo, was waiting there.
It turned out that just a few days ago, Li Jinlong suddenly found Li Deli and asked him if he wanted to make money.
Li Deli was confused and didn't know whether what Li Jinlong said was true or false, but thinking about his own family situation, he decided to go with him to take a look.
Li Jinlong took Li Deli to the village and met Niu Gang. They sat down and chatted, and unexpectedly they hit it off.
Niu Gang wants food, Li Deli wants to make money, and Li Jinlong wants power.
Of course, Li Jinlong definitely couldn't come up with this idea with his brain. It was all his father Li Lin who was behind the scenes making the plan.
Li Lin's plan was to wait until Niu Gang stole the food, then he would take the opportunity to make a big deal out of it. When the commune investigated, he would have the opportunity to become the captain of the Sandaliang Brigade, and Li Mancang would be under his feet.
Li Deli was just a cannon fodder in the whole plan. Li Lin took advantage of the villagers' prejudice against his family background.
The two men Xu Jianguo caught today were actually Niu Gang's younger brothers. It was just that on the day of the fight, they were arranged by Niu Gang to do other things, so they avoided the "first day" of the new year, but they could not avoid today's "fifteenth day".
As the sound of roosters crowed, the people in the village began to get busy. Xu Jianguo stood up and stretched, looking at the curling smoke in the distance, feeling particularly peaceful.
After waiting for a while, the sky gradually brightened. Li Yuqiang walked over from a distance and called out, "Jianguo, let's go and have breakfast!"
Xu Jianguo turned and waved at him. Li Yuqiang was puzzled and walked over to ask, "What's wrong?"
Xu Jianguo pointed to the cornfield. Looking in the direction of his finger, Li Yuqiang exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
"What's going on, Jianguo?"
"What's the matter? He stole the food!" Xu Jianguo said with a blank look at him.
"Food stealer? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?" Because of the angle, Li Yuqiang didn't see that Li Deli was among the people lying on the ground.
"In the middle of the night, I saw that it was almost dawn, so I didn't call you. Otherwise, the whole village would have been unable to sleep well!"
"Did you arrest these three people?"
"Yes, that's what I call taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared."
"Awesome!" Li Yuqiang gave Xu Jianguo a thumbs up without thinking much.
Xu Jianguo said, "Brother Yuqiang, go find Uncle Mancang and Uncle Erniu. I'll be waiting here. Keep it a secret and don't let anyone else know."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Li Yuqiang said and ran towards Li Mancang's house.
A moment later, Xu Jianguo saw Li Mancang and Li Erniu walking towards him quickly with several militiamen.
When he got to him, Li Mancang first circled around him before asking, "Jianguo, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Uncle, it's okay! I'm not hurt!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Pa!" Li Erniu slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Little bastard, what did I tell you last night? Why didn't you call for help? What if you got hurt? Forget about last year when we caught the food thief and I almost broke my leg?"
