Chapter 568 Stealing Food (Part 2)
Everyone in the threshing ground fell silent instantly after hearing the captain's roar, and then they all looked towards the captain.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the captain said, "Although five bags of our team's reserve food were stolen, fortunately our team's grain seeds were not stolen.
Another thing is that the person who stole the grain must be someone from our team. Why can I say so confidently that the person who stole the grain is someone from our team? It is because except for the people in our team who know clearly which warehouse our team's reserve grain is stored, outsiders do not know.
I hope that the person who stole the grain will return it on his own initiative. Otherwise, if I find out, there will be no mercy for him and I will send him directly to jail."
After hearing what the captain said, everyone in the threshing ground began to whisper to each other. While discussing, they also glanced at the people around them, fearing that the thief was someone they knew.
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little speechless after hearing what the captain said. She thought that since the grain thief dared to steal five bags of grain, he was not afraid of the threat which was not painful at all, so he would not return the grain.
"Xiaoxiao, the person who stole the food is so wicked. He actually dared to steal the life-saving food of our team." The second sister said angrily after hearing the captain's words.
"It's quite immoral."
"Do you think he will return the food?" the second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Won't."
"Why? Isn't he afraid of being sent to jail by the captain?"
"Since he dared to steal the reserve food, he must have thought of the worst possible outcome. And I guess the thief must have thought that no one would be able to find out that it was him who stole the food."
"I really hope the captain can catch the people who stole the food soon."
"Um."
"Everyone, be quiet. In order to ensure the safety of our team's reserve food, the team has decided to form three patrol teams, each with five people.
Each person in the patrol team gets five work points a day. If anyone wants to join the patrol team, please come to me to sign up later.
We have finished what we wanted to say today, everyone can go home now."
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao and her second sister walked out of the grain drying field. As they walked, she said to her second sister, "Second sister, tell your father not to join the patrol team."
"Why?" The second sister asked puzzledly after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
“The weather is too cold now, and the temperature at night is even lower than during the day. If your father gets sick from the cold while on patrol, it would be a loss.
Also, if your dad really encounters someone who steals grain and starts a fight with him, do you think your dad can defeat him with his physique?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister thought that her father would definitely not be able to beat him, so she said, "Xiaoxiao, I know. I will definitely not let my father join the patrol team."
"Well, let's leave the patrol mission to the young and strong guys in the team." Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Yes, it would be best to leave it to them. With their abilities, they can definitely pin the food thieves to the ground."
"Hehe... Second sister, where did you learn that phrase about pressing someone to the ground and rubbing them?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile after hearing her second sister's words.
"I learned it from you."
"I?"
"Yeah, where else can I learn from?"
"Hehe..." Lu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly after hearing what her second sister said.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm going home this way. Remember to walk slowly when you go home. The road is very slippery now."
"I see."
