Chapter 239: Pig Thief
Then there were faint footsteps outside the door.
Su Jianwu just picked up a piece of lotus root slice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He grimaced from the burn and made uncontrollable gasping sounds.
The next moment, Su Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with her hand.
"Shh, be quiet! There's someone here!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly blew out the candle and tiptoed to the window.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight. The bright moonlight shines on the ground, and two shadows elongated by the moonlight appear in the yard.
Su Jianwu opened his eyes wide, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Jianwen pinched his mouth.
The three of them cautiously peeked out through the window and saw two sneaky figures quietly approaching the pigpen.
The big fat pig in the pigsty felt someone approaching and made a grunting sound, but the sound was extinguished as soon as it sounded and disappeared.
Good heavens, it turns out he’s here to steal her pigs!
Su Jianwu immediately started to struggle. This pig was fed by him and his fourth brother with grass collected every day. It would be ready for slaughter at the end of the year, so he couldn't let anyone steal it.
Su Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder and told him not to worry: "Come on, let's go out and meet those two little thieves."
She took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray from her pocket and handed it to Su Jianwen: "Old Four, take this and spray it on those two people's faces later, okay?"
After instructing Su Jianwen, she stuffed something into Su Jianwu's hand and said, "Take advantage of this opportunity to turn on the switch and press it against those two people. Be careful not to touch yourself."
Su Jianwu looked down and almost threw away the thing in his hand. Isn't this the anti-wolf weapon that knocked him, his cousin, and his second aunt down today?
He was shocked by this thing and he still remembers the uncomfortable feeling.
Su Jianwu shook his head like a rattle: "Third sister, I... I'm scared. Can you change it for me?"
"Look at your courage. Don't worry, as long as you don't touch the electric head, you'll be fine."
After a detailed explanation, Su Jianwu carefully held the anti-wolf artifact in his palm.
Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, Su Jianwen couldn't help but ask, "Third sister, what are you going to do?"
They both have weapons, but the third sister is still empty-handed.
Su Xiaoxiao chuckled and took out a baseball bat and two large sacks from behind.
The two little brothers looked blankly. No, where did the third sister get this thing from?
Amidst the increasingly strange looks from the two, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly snapped her head and said, "Hurry up! Our pig is about to be stolen."
As soon as they heard the word pig, they immediately came to their senses.
Two thieves in the yard had just struggled to carry a pig out of the pigsty when suddenly one of the thieves walking behind them felt someone pat his shoulder.
He subconsciously turned around, but before he could see who was behind him, he felt something cold and spicy sprayed directly into his eyes, irritating them and making them feel hot and painful.
"What are you doing..."
The person in front looked up in response, and then both of them covered their eyes and screamed.
Su Xiaoxiao raised the baseball bat and banged it twice, knocking the two men to the ground on the spot. Su Jianwu mustered up the courage to turn on the anti-wolf weapon and attacked them one by one. The two little thieves were twitching and even their wailing was intermittent.
The noise was so loud that it woke up Liu Cuilan and others in the room.
The three of them rushed out of the house at the same time and were stunned when they saw the scene in the yard.
"This is……"
Liu Cuilan's gaze lingered on the two for only a second before she spotted the large fat pig lying motionless beside them. She screamed and pounced on it, "Oh my! Who the hell dared to lay hands on our pig?"
"Mom, don't worry, it's probably just drugs, nothing serious."
Liu Cuilan also touched the pig's neck at this time, and was relieved to see that it was still breathing.
He turned around and looked at the two people covered in sacks on the ground. He walked over and kicked them: "You dare to steal our pigs? I don't want to live anymore."
The person in the sack had already fallen unconscious and was unresponsive.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them and asked Liu Cuilan, "Mom, what should we do with these two people?"
"Tie them up on a tree tonight and send them to the village chief tomorrow morning. These two are probably repeat offenders. Let the village chief check to see if anyone else's house has been robbed."
After deciding what to do with the two thieves, Su Xiaoxiao yawned and was about to go back to sleep when she saw Liu Cuilan frowning and sniffing the air: "What smells so good?"
Su Xiaoxiao then remembered that she still had two boxes of self-heating hot pot in her room that she had not had time to eat.
Just as I thought of this, I saw Liu Cuilan had walked to the door of her room and opened it.
The two little brothers reacted suddenly and rushed over, but it was too late.
Liu Cuilan looked at the two steaming hot pots in the room and frowned. "It's late at night and you don't have any work to do, but you're eating so well? You're just living like this?"
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "Mom, this is called self-heating hot pot, it's delicious, do you want to try it?"
As he said that, he hurriedly picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks and served Liu Cuilan a portion: "It's already cooked. It would be a waste if you don't eat it."
Liu Cuilan hated waste the most. Upon hearing this, she raised her hand to take the chopsticks and took a bite. It was fresh, fragrant and spicy. She had never eaten anything so delicious before.
Seeing her astonished expression, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly called out to the people behind her, "Come on, Sister Zhaodi and Brother Pan, come and have something to eat."
In the end, the midnight snack for three people turned into a midnight snack for six people.
After having supper, everyone returned to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.
The whole family had enough to eat and drink and slept well, but the two little thieves tied to the apricot tree in the yard were not so comfortable.
At around five in the morning, the two were woken by the cold. When they realized what had happened, they both screamed like pigs being slaughtered: "Help! Help! Help!"
The shrill screams attracted many early-rising villagers, who followed the sound and found their way to Su Xiaoxiao's house.
"Is there something wrong with my ears? Why did I hear someone shouting for help in the yard?"
"I heard it too. Tsk tsk, it was so miserable. What's going on?"
As they were discussing, the gate of the courtyard was opened from the inside. Liu Cuilan looked at the neighbors standing outside the gate and opened the gate boldly.
"Last night, we caught two pig thieves at home. The villagers hurried home to see who had lost something."
Liu Cuilan's words immediately changed everyone's expression. They no longer cared about watching the fun and ran home one after another.
After a while, several exclamations were heard one after another.
"Oh, my sheep! My sheep!"
"Oh my god! My chicken! My chicken!"
"Who is so shameless as to steal my underwear?"
For a moment, the village was filled with screams and chaos.
A few minutes later, the village chief came out rubbing his sleepy eyes to take charge of the situation.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me..."
Before the village chief could finish his sentence, someone immediately spoke excitedly.
"Village chief, why are you still so quiet? Let these two thieves return our things."
"Yes, let them return the things!"
"These two damn thieves actually stole into our village. They don't want to live anymore."
