Li Tingyun never expected that she would end up like this. She was stunned for a moment and then rushed into the yard.
All the doors were opened, and everything in the kitchen, cellar, and room was looted, even their quilts were not spared.
Wow……
When Xu Erhua saw this scene, she sat on the ground and cried loudly.
"Hurry, go find the village party secretary and others." Xiao Ni reacted and pushed Erniu to ask.
Li Tingyun took a deep breath and was also very angry.
However, they were also glad that they had put three-quarters of the things into the space, otherwise their losses would have been even greater.
Taking a deep breath, she asked everyone to stay still.
She went in and took a closer look, and found several footprints on the ground. The size of the footprints showed that they were men's.
She went back to her room, took out a pen and paper, and drew some of the shoe prints.
After finishing the painting, she walked over to Erhua and comforted her, "Erhua, don't cry. I feel like this was planned for a long time. Otherwise, the timing wouldn't be so good."
At this time, everyone goes up the mountain, there are relatively few people in the village, and the place where they live is relatively remote, so it is still possible to take action.
This sentence suddenly woke everyone up. When everyone in the family is short of money, evil thoughts will take over. Such matters cannot be investigated door to door.
Moreover, such things have happened before the Chinese New Year, but in the end, the murderer was not found and the case was left unresolved.
"Tingyun, go and take a look at the cellar inside." Xu Erhua suddenly thought of this.
Li Tingyun pretended to go back to the room and took a look. When he came out, he said, "It's okay!"
Only then did Xu Erhua feel a little better.
Soon the old branch secretary and the team leader arrived.
The captain checked and found that the lock had been pried open, not with a stone or a hammer, but most likely with a thin wire.
When he saw the footprints after entering the room, he frowned and said, "From the footprints, it seems that there are four people coming, and they are all men."
"There are so many men in the village, and many people from nearby villages have also come here. It will be difficult to find them." He Fei felt disappointed when he heard this judgment.
Li Tingyun also knew that it was difficult to find and estimated that the things could not be recovered.
It's just that these people are too cruel. They even took away the quilt. I guess if it wasn't so inconvenient to move the bed, they could have moved it too.
This feeling of insecurity made her feel very uneasy.
Erniu walked to He Fei and the two whispered a few words. Then they left with Brother Dazhuang, Uncle He and Aunt He.
The old Party Secretary almost fainted from anger when he saw this scene: "Who, who is this bastard who did this? It's really... cough cough..."
Seeing that the old branch secretary was so anxious that he could hardly breathe, Li Tingyun quickly brought him a chair and asked him to sit down.
"Old Party Secretary, this matter is difficult to investigate. The harvests in all the villages this year are not good. When I went up the mountain today, it was crowded with people from many villages.
There are too many people, so it's probably impossible to find out. But, old Party Secretary and team leader, it's best to hold a meeting tomorrow and ask everyone not to go out. It's too unsafe." She felt that since this had happened, the villagers must be alert.
"Don't worry, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go and shout on the loudspeaker in a while." The team leader felt that such things could not wait for a day, and the villagers must be made alert.
"Our big money is not lost, and I have put some food somewhere else. We won't starve this winter, and you don't have to worry too much." Li Tingyun told everyone about this.
When they heard that the big money was not lost, everyone's faces looked a little better.
Soon, Erniu, He Fei and others came back.
They held a big red quilt, a washbasin, a kettle, and a big bucket in their hands.
Uncle He went into the yard first with a red bucket and put the things in the yard. He comforted the two of them and said, "Don't be afraid. You won't be cold with us here."
Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua both stood up and looked at the red quilts and red buckets, which should have been prepared by the two families for the wedding.
"No, no, no, how can this be possible?" Xu Erhua reacted and waved her hands to refuse.
"Yes, these are what you prepared for your wedding. Let's go to the city to buy quilts tomorrow. With so much firewood, we won't be cold in one night." Li Tingyun also disagreed with taking these things.
"What are you talking about? The temperature difference between day and night is so big here, we can't do without a quilt. Besides, haven't you helped everyone enough?" After Uncle He said this, he asked his son to move the quilt to Li Tingyun's room.
Erniu moved the quilt in his hand to Xu Erhua's room.
Xu Erhua and Li Tingyun's eyes were red. They were so simple and honest, and the best was given to them.
"Keep it. This is also their kindness." The old branch secretary felt a lot more at ease when he saw what Lao He and the others did.
It's not possible to live without a quilt in such weather. However, everyone has a limited number of quilts at home, and some homes don't even have enough. Even old quilts cannot be taken out, let alone new ones. It's so late, and you can't buy one even if you go to buy one.
"Let's go to my house for dinner tonight." Uncle He said loudly.
"We won't go there. We'll go to the brigade office. Not only should we inform the villagers about this kind of thing, but we should also tell the nearby brigades. It's the New Year, and many such things happen." The old branch secretary stood up and left with the brigade leader after he finished speaking.
Everyone helped clean up the messy yard and room, and then followed Uncle He back home.
Aunt He took out the bacon at home and made a pot of bacon and bamboo shoots.
"Eat, things have already happened, don't think about anything. Let's get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain. If we go a few more times, we can buy those things back." Uncle He calmed everyone's emotions. Everyone was in a bad mood after something like this happened.
Li Tingyun shook his head after hearing this. "We won't be going for now. Since someone's targeting us, they might be targeting everyone too. There are too many people on the mountain lately, so it's better to stay out of sight. We didn't lose much money, so we can buy whatever we need in town tomorrow."
Xiao Zhuang's mother nodded in agreement: "Tingyun is right. If we go up the mountain frequently and bring back something every time, people will definitely be jealous. However, if we come back with nothing, it would be a waste of time. It's better not to go."
"That's what I mean. Now that you're not short of money for the time being, just spend the New Year with peace of mind. During the New Year, we'll go up the mountain again. If you can't hunt, you can come with me to dig herbs. I can exchange those herbs for things and money." Li Tingyun was really moved by everyone's efforts, so she planned to tell everyone some things.
When they heard that it could be exchanged for money, Xiaozhuang's mother and the others' eyes lit up.
It is really difficult to make money in such a place. Although the supply and marketing society collects mountain products, they cannot dig up much throughout the year.
If medicinal herbs could be exchanged for money, it would be a different story.
"We'll listen to you, Tingyun!" Xiaozhuang's mother said excitedly.
"This matter cannot be told to anyone except us. If more people know about it, we will have nothing to do with it. Also, everyone must save money. When we have the chance, we should go out and buy a house." When Li Tingyun said this, everyone was stunned.
