Chapter 28: Late-night “Stranger” (2/3)



"This grain thief is so bold. He knows that there are half a military force in our village, yet he still dares to steal our grain."

"Then you probably don't know. Among all the villages around here, our village has the largest rice harvest. The neighboring village wanted to share the grain, but didn't get any. Those who want to steal the grain must have targeted our village!"

"Fortunately, Captain Li made arrangements in advance. He not only let Fang Cheng sleep in the granary, but also had people patrol at fixed points. I heard that the grain thief was discovered as soon as he climbed over the wall. Later, he slipped away in the dark, so we arrested people all over the village."

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang came out early and had heard most of what happened. They could almost reconstruct the crime scene of the grain thief.

Qiao Anle also roughly knew what had happened.

But she had different thoughts in her heart.

Qiao Anle said, "Sisters-in-law, do you think the grain thief is from another village?"

"Of course! Most of the people in this village are in the production team. They will get their food tomorrow. Why would they do something sneaky like this?"

"That's right. And the people in this village must know that Fang Cheng is sleeping in the granary. How brave must one be to sneak in!"

What Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang said was very certain.

Qiao Anle put forward a new idea.

"But this grain thief was able to escape so quickly. He must be very familiar with the situation in our village. If he was from another village, could he run so fast in the dark?"

As soon as these words came out.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang were both stunned.

The two of them stared at each other for a while.

Then he slapped his thigh!

"Anle! You're right! Why didn't we think of that?! Maybe he's from our village!"

"Anle! You...you...you are amazing! They say that two kinds of people can sleep in the same bed. You and Captain Li are a perfect match!"

Qiao Anle laughed at the compliment.

Especially the phrase "a perfect match made in heaven" sounds particularly pleasant.

The three of them stood together and chatted for a few more words.

From time to time, men's shouts and clusters of torches could be heard not far away.

Under the night sky, it looks like a fire dragon.

They seemed to be heading towards the military compound.

The women thought about their children at home, so they stopped talking and hurried home.

Qiao Anle returned to the cabin.

She was about to push the door open when she realized something was wrong.

The door's position has changed.

When she went out, she closed the door.

But now.

The door was opened a little, about a ten-centimeter gap.

It seemed like someone went in hurriedly and closed the door.

not good!

Big cub! Second cub! Three cubs!

Qiao Anle was nervous.

He pushed the door open suddenly.

He rushed in.

"mother."

As soon as he entered the door, the third nanny called out.

Qiao Anle saw the three cubs who were originally sleeping soundly and woke up at some point without knowing it.

The three cubs sat on the small bed, the eldest cub sat in the middle, the second and third cubs sat on both sides of him. The eldest cub reached out and hugged the eldest and third cubs, and also grabbed the small quilt to wrap the three of them together.

The third child seemed to have just woken up. He looked dazed and didn't know what had happened. He rubbed his eyes with his hands.

The second cub’s face was a little pale. He nervously grabbed the eldest cub’s arm, curled up his body and didn’t move.

The eldest is the only support among the three brothers.

Even though he was scared, he didn't dare show it, and his little face was tense and he remained calm.

When he saw Qiao Anle come in, his dark pupils relaxed a little.

But he looked at Qiao Anle worriedly.

mother!
