138. Chapter 138 The Thief



The people outside waited for a while, and finally Shen Ruoqing and Fan Yanli came out. But Fan Yanli's expression was not very good.

Doctor Ou coughed and said, "Fan Yanli and Shen Ruoqing will study with me from now on. The rest of you can go back and have a rest."

Dr. Ou is a surgeon. His surgical skills are quite good, and Shen Ruoqing really wants to learn from him.

During this period, although Fan Yanli often made things difficult for Shen Ruoqing, she resolved them one by one. Following Dr. Ou, she also learned a lot of surgical knowledge.

This year, the family had a good harvest, so they prepared more New Year's goods than in previous years. The whole pig didn't sell for much, so they made smoked bacon and sausages. With so much money from selling the pig, plus the salary and allowances handed in by Han and Shen Xiangxi, it was the first time that Old Lady Ji was so generous when she went shopping with Han.

Most of what Old Lady Ji bought were food, and she also bought firecrackers, which were longer than last year. She also met several acquaintances when buying firecrackers. The income in the village was relatively high this year, and many people came to buy firecrackers, and everyone bought the longer ones.

Shen Ruoqing also went home tonight. She hadn't been home for more than ten days, and Old Mrs. Ji missed her a lot.

When she got home, Mrs. Ji asked Han to make braised pork.

Han learned how to make braised pork from Chef Gao, and the taste is absolutely amazing.

"Look, my sweet baby has become thinner. Eat more."

Old Mrs. Ji was obviously lying with her eyes open. The cafeteria in the county hospital was pretty good. Meat was available every day and the food tasted pretty good. Shen Ruoqing didn't feel like she had lost weight.

When Shen Ruoqing came back, Old Lady Ji told her what had happened while she was away and chatted about some family matters. Shen Ruoqing listened quietly and interjected a word or two from time to time.

"Oh, dear, you don't know that our house was robbed a few days ago. Fortunately, your third brother got up at night and scared the thief away." Old Mrs. Ji was still frightened. "The thief climbed over the wall. I think he was a villager. Everyone knows that we made money from raising pigs this year, and they are all thinking about it. I think he knew that there were not many people in our house, so he dared to climb over the wall. But your eldest brother and second brother will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Are you okay?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"What could possibly happen to me? The thief just climbed over the wall and came in when your third brother got up for the night, so he climbed over the wall and ran away. If he hadn't run fast, I would have given him a couple of beatings. I was so afraid that the thief would come again these past two days that I didn't sleep well."

"After the New Year, let's tear down half of the house and build a new one. We can spend the money and avoid thieves."

Old Mrs. Ji thought about it and realized that this was the truth.

"Mom, why don't you give me all the money first and I'll hide it so you don't have to sleep badly with the money." Shen Ruoqing thought, if she hid the money in the space, no one would be able to find it, and it would be safest to give it to her.

Old Lady Ji completely believed in Shen Ruoqing: "Okay, I'll give it to you. I'll get it for you right away. You've been the best at hiding things since you were a child. I can sleep well if I give you the money."

I didn't expect that the thief would dare to come in the middle of the night.

Huang Laizi climbed over the wall quietly and reached Old Lady Ji's room as if he was familiar with the place. He searched for a long time but didn't find anything.

Huang Laizi was so angry that he wanted to curse on the spot. But soon, he calmed down. If the money could not be found here by Old Lady Ji, he heard that Shen Ruoqing came back today, so the money must be with Shen Ruoqing. After all, Old Lady Ji treasured Shen Ruoqing the most.

After figuring it out, Huang Laizi immediately went to Shen Ruqing's room.

Shen Ruoqing discovered it when Huang Laizi entered his room.

She spent 500 yuan to buy a small smart alarm in the system mall. The original function of this device was to remind her to come out of the space if someone wanted to enter her room. After knowing that the thief was coming, Shen Ruoqing placed the small smart alarm at the door, so she noticed when Huang Laizi was about to come in.

But Shen Ruoqing pretended not to know and pretended to be asleep.

Huang Laizi came in first and took a look at Shen Ruoqing. After making sure that Shen Ruoqing was asleep, he began to rummage through the drawers.

Shen Ruoqing sneered. No one in the family dared to touch her things, but this little thief was quite brave and actually dared to rummage through her things.

After a while, Huang Laizi found a small box.

When Huang Laizi opened the small box, a cloud of powder hit his face. Huang Laizi couldn't help but sneeze a few times, and then looked at Shen Ruoqing in fear. He was relieved when he found that Shen Ruoqing was not woken up by him.

There was nothing in the small box, but Huang Laizi felt his exposed skin itchy.

The area around my eyes itches so badly.

Huang Laizi kept scratching, and while scratching he did not forget the purpose of his trip and continued to search.

Finally, Huang Laizi found another jar in the cabinet. He shook it and felt that there was something in the jar, so he opened it directly.

Unexpectedly, a small snake crawled out of it, which frightened Huang Laizi so much that he turned around and hit his head. When he hit his head, the small snake bit Huang Laizi's calf directly.

Huang Laizi finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed loudly.

Shen Ruoqing then pretended to be awakened and shouted: "There's a thief! Someone come quickly!"

Maybe the little snake was poisonous. Huang Laizi felt his whole body go limp, his legs and feet were weak, and he had no strength to run away.

Shen Ruoqing took advantage of the time when no one was around and put the little snake into the space.

Old Mrs. Ji and Shen Xiangxi arrived quickly.

"Little sister! Little sister! Are you okay? Where is the thief?"

"Mom, third brother, the thief has been caught!" Shen Ruoqing pointed at the person on the ground. Shen Xiangxi first hit Huang Laizi a few times, then pulled off Huang Laizi's covered face and recognized him at once.

"Yellow Laizi, is that you? How dare you come to my house and steal things?"

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was wrong. I was wrong. Please save me. I was bitten by a poisonous snake. Please send me to the hospital."

"Bah! If you were bitten, you deserved it!" Shen Xiangxi said bah, then reacted, "Poisonous snake? Where is it? Little sister, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I just saw a rat snake slip out of the room. The snake is not poisonous, so it's okay. I think Huang Laizi was just scared and his legs went limp."

The bite of that little snake only has the effect of paralyzing the nerves and does not contain any poison.

"It's a rat snake. That's good. That's good."

"Third brother, what are you waiting for? Find a rope to tie him up, and then call the captain." Old Mrs. Ji spoke.

As soon as Old Lady Ji spoke, Shen Ruoqing handed Shen Xiangxi a rope.

"Third brother, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you tie him up quickly?"

Shen Xiangxi came back to his senses. He muttered in his heart, why does this little sister seem to have been prepared for a long time? Even the rope is ready.

"I was really bitten by a poisonous snake. It was her. She let the snake bite me! I know, you are in the same group and you want to kill me." Huang Laizi still felt powerless and was about to cry.
