Chapter 1144: The Village is Robbed (Part 2)
The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao was about to go out to cut grass for pigs with her backpack on her back, she heard the village radio notifying all villagers to gather at the threshing ground. So she had to take off her backpack and go out to the threshing ground.
"Xiao...Lu Xiaoxiao, come here." Liu Erdan shouted to Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw her.
After hearing Liu Erdan's voice, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards him. Then she looked at him and asked, "Do you know why the captain notified the whole village to go to the threshing ground today?"
"Yes, our village was robbed last night."
"What was stolen?"
"sweet potato."
"The sweet potatoes are not ripe yet, why are those people stealing them?"
"I'm not sure, but I went to the scene this morning and saw that the sweet potatoes had grown to the size of eggs. Those people probably saw that the sweet potatoes were edible, so they stole most of the two acres of sweet potato fields at the entrance of our village."
"Quiet, everyone be quiet, I have something to say." The captain said to everyone in the threshing ground.
Everyone in the threshing ground shut up after hearing the captain's words, and then they looked at the captain standing on the platform.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the captain spoke up, "I think some of you already know why I told everyone to go to the grain drying ground. Yes, our village was robbed last night, and almost all the sweet potatoes planted on the two acres of land at the entrance of the village were dug up."
The captain's words were like a bomb, which stunned those people who didn't know what was going on. When they came to their senses, they immediately started to curse the thief who stole the sweet potatoes. Those were two acres of sweet potatoes. When the sweet potatoes were ripe in autumn, the yield would be five or six thousand kilograms. Now they were stolen. They were really angry.
The captain saw that the threshing ground was full of curses and the scene was getting more and more chaotic, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, I asked everyone to come to the threshing ground today to find the sweet potato thief."
"Captain, you tell us how you want us to cooperate. As long as we can find the thief who stole the sweet potatoes, we will follow your arrangements." Liu Biao shouted to the captain.
"That's right. As long as we can find the thief who stole the sweet potatoes, we will follow the captain's instructions."
"Okay, you are all very good. In order to find the thief who stole the sweet potatoes as soon as possible, the village has decided to search every house. In order to set an example, we will start from the homes of the village cadres. I wonder if you have any objections."
"No objection, just do as the captain says."
"Okay then. Pay attention to who is around you and don't let anyone leave the team. Otherwise, the thieves who stole the sweet potatoes will go home and move the sweet potatoes to another place, and then this search will be meaningless."
"Don't worry, Captain. We will definitely keep an eye on who is around."
"In that case, everyone follow me to my house. Today's search will begin from my house."
When Lu Xiaoxiao followed the team to the captain's house, Aunt Caihua was already waiting at the gate of the yard. It was obvious that she knew about the search in the village in advance.
"Captain Two, Captain Three, you are the ones who will go into my house and search it." The captain said to the other two captains in the village.
After hearing what the captain said, the second and third captains nodded, and then they took their men into the captain's house to search.
Seven or eight minutes later, the second and third captains led their men out of the captain's house and said to everyone present, "No sweet potatoes were found in the captain's house."
