Chapter 58: The Second Grade Youth Has Much Joy
Gao Youhui instructed the male educated youth and brought Yu Zhengming to where the girls lived. They found that a few were missing, so they asked and were told that they had gone to school. So the two of them hurried to the school and just saw them coming out.
"Gao Youhui, was your home robbed while you were in a hurry?" Zhao Xiaoxue teased as she looked at Gao Youhui who was out of breath.
"Indeed, we were robbed, but it wasn't me. Two old hens in the village were stolen. The village is organizing a thief-catching operation tonight, so they may not be able to take care of you. So don't come out when you go out at night."
Gao Youhui still said the same thing as before. Although Zhao Xiaoxue looked naive, she was really not stupid. "I remember that the chicken farm in the village should be quite far from the entrance of the village, right? There are several houses in between. What kind of thief would spend so much effort just to steal a chicken?"
The circle that Zhao Xiaoxue had lived in since she was a child was considered upper-middle class, and her living expenses were sometimes as little as 20 or 30 yuan a month. The price of an old hen was indeed not much in her eyes.
"How would I know? The village chief suspected that someone in the village had stolen it, so he was going to lure the snake out of its hole tonight. But he was also afraid that he was using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so someone had to stay in every household."
Gao Youhui knew from the other party's undoubting eyes that he had to think of a way to hide it from this girl, so he made up a half-truthful reason. When the truth was exposed, he would later tell her that he was indeed luring the snake out of its hole and that he was right.
"That's an old hen that lays eggs in the village. I heard from my mother that an old hen costs five yuan. Who is so brave?" Qin Xiao frowned. The place where she lived was a junction between the city and the countryside. Although her family did not lack food, it would be a source of pride for a family to raise one or two chickens.
"So, you all should stay at home tonight and don't come out." Gao Youhui was about to leave after taking off his clothes, but then he seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, if you sneak out at that time and get caught by mistake, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After hearing what Gao Youhui said, the girls who were thinking of peeking immediately gave up the idea. After all, stealing would be punishable by prison, and they came here to contribute to the country, and they didn't want to be framed for no reason.
Only Zhao Xiaoxue looked thoughtful. "Is this true? Why do I feel like this is a little wrong?"
Finally, after Zhao Xiaoxue and the others were no longer visible, Yu Zhengming asked, "Deputy Platoon Leader, what happened in the village? I don't think it's just a simple chicken thief."
Gao Youhui heard him say this, and looked around, and found that indeed no one followed him. "There is indeed a chicken thief in the village, but he is not a human."
Yu Zhengming narrowed his eyes, then carefully guessed, "Is it a wolf, tiger, leopard or something like that from the mountain?"
"Python." Gao Youhui saw that the other party didn't show any fear on his face. "It's about as thick as your thigh."
"We shouldn't have this kind of snake in our country."
"Indeed, I didn't. I just grew so big because I ate the wrong food." Gao Youhui gritted his teeth. These Japanese devils left such a big mess behind. He should have beaten Watanabe a few more times.
The two men hurried to the front of the house, Qizi's home. The villagers had already taken out all the nets in their homes, and some people were also setting traps and other things nearby. Jiang He just happened to be coming towards him.
"What's wrong?" Gao Youhui asked curiously.
