"What are you doing? Stealing things and hitting people, catch him!"
All the men and women in the family immediately grabbed things, some with brooms, some with stools, and some with bottles... In short, they all grabbed everything and rushed towards the thief.
Uncle Chen was terrified. If there were only one or two people, he could still fight, but so many people were too scary. He didn't dare to hesitate and rushed out the door.
It was pitch black outside, and he didn't care about anything else. He ran down the alley. The family behind him chased him out, but the alley was too dark. They had just come out of the light and were not used to it. They were stunned for a while.
"Over there, he's running that way, chase him!"
The group seemed to see Uncle Chen's fleeing shadow and quickly chased after him.
"Catch the thief! There's a thief! Catch the thief!"
The family chased and shouted, and soon many people in the alley came out. The alley was very lively.
"Thief? Where are the thieves? Where are they? Thieves are so rampant these days?"
"Oh, there's another thief? Didn't we just catch two last time? Why are there thieves again now?"
Everyone opened the door, full of confusion. The last time there was a thief in this place, he seemed to be caught and everyone only found out about it. I didn't expect that it would be a thief again in just a few days.
"Over there, the thief ran over there, stole my eggs and ran away! I don't know where he'll steal next!"
The family whose property was robbed was filled with righteous indignation and shouted in the direction Uncle Chen ran away.
When the crowd heard this, some immediately followed suit, some stretched their heads out to curse the thief, and some just watched the excitement. For a moment, the area was bustling with activity.
Uncle Chen, who was in front, saw everyone behind him coming out. He was terrified and regretted it so much that he should have waited until late at night. It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Who would be up? But he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it any longer.
Besides, it’s actually not too early now. He just went in because he saw that everyone had finished dinner and was about to go to bed. How come he ran into people as soon as he entered?
"Catch him!" Just then the people behind were getting closer and closer.
Uncle Chen was terrified and started running desperately again.
He didn't know how long he ran, but he came to a wall. Uncle Chen turned around, but there was nowhere to hide. There were walls on three sides, and there was nothing left. There was no place to hide.
"What should I do? God wants me to die. It's all because of that bitch Zhang Xingrong. She's always hanging around with men. Will you die without a man?"
If there were no man, he would have caught the woman and asked for money. But because the woman stayed with Lu Ran every day, he was now penniless!
"Where are the people? Where did they hide? Why are they gone?"
"It's right here, he can't run away, everyone come and look for him!"
There seemed to be shouting outside the short alley. Uncle Chen's plan to run back the same way was obviously impossible. He looked left and right, and saw a wall in front of him. There were courtyards on the left and right, which were obvious at a glance. If he hid in it, he might run into someone again. The wall in front of him seemed very long, and he didn't know where it led to.
Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and stopped thinking too much, and quickly started climbing the wall. He didn't know if this place was often climbed, but he actually touched a few recessed holes!
For a moment he was filled with surprise and climbed up quickly. He was so excited that his hands were shaking!
