In this era of food and clothing shortages, the preciousness of food is self-evident, and it is worth the risk for some people.
Not long after, two dark shadows emerged from behind a house not far away, crouching and walking towards them on tiptoe.
After the three of them reunited, they also hid in the cornfield where Xu Jianguo was hiding.
"Li Deli, you are quite smart to come up with such a method. It is indeed much safer." One of the young men with pointed chin and monkey cheeks said softly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is the money you promised me?" Li Deli said.
"Money? I can only give you the money after we leave safely!" said another man.
"No, you have to pay now! We already agreed on this!"
"Who told you that? Our rule is to pay after the job is done!"
"Impossible, you have to give it to me now, or I'll call for help!"
"I..." The man wanted to say something, but was stopped by the man with a pointed chin and monkey face next to him.
"Okay, I can give you the money now, but I can only give you half. The other half will be given to you after we leave safely! If you think it's okay, we can continue. If not, then we can break up!"
Xu Jianguo saw Li Deli clench his fist tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll give you half first!"
The man lay down on the spot, took out a flashlight from his body and turned it upside down on the ground, then took out a big black note from his arms, lit the flashlight, gently lifted the edge of the flashlight, and used the revealed light to check the amount of money. After confirming that it was correct, he quickly turned off the flashlight and handed the money to Li Deli.
After Li Deli received the money, he whispered, "Hurry up!" Then he turned around and stared at the movement outside.
The two men took out a pair of scissors from behind their backs and started to attack the corn growing in the middle and lower part of the corn stalks.
The two of them were very fast, constantly moving around in the cornfield without making much noise. In just a short while, they had cut through more than ten years of corn.
Xu Jianguo thought about it and was a little unsure. There were three people on the other side now, and the distance between them was less than two meters. It was too difficult to capture them at the same time. If any one of them was caught, the other two would definitely find out. If they ran separately at that time, it would be even more difficult to capture them.
Just when Xu Jianguo was worried, a surprising scene appeared. He saw that the two men slowly dispersed in order to steal more corn.
"Sure enough, greed is the original sin!"
Xu Jianguo thought to himself and quietly moved towards one of them.
