280: As long as you agree to one thing

Zhao Dazhu was startled by his wife's scream and almost dropped Tiedan in his hand. Tiedan was frightened awake. Zhao Dazhu patted his son on the back and coaxed him not to be afraid. However, his wife's sharp scream was still ringing in his ears. It was very scary in the quiet night and he was scared.

"What are you yelling about? You're scaring my son again!"

Zhao Dazhu couldn't help but shout to his wife, but he heard Tiedan crying.

At this time, Dazhu's wife went over and hugged his arm with such force that it seemed as if her nails were digging into his flesh.

"Dazhu! Dazhu! There's a dark shadow over there! There's a green light! It's a ghost!"

After Dazhu's wife finished screaming, it seemed as if she had no strength left, even her voice trembled. She raised her hand and pointed in a direction for Zhao Dazhu. Chapter 280: As long as you agree to one thing, she shrank behind Zhao Dazhu.

Today the sky was very dark, but the people in this farm were used to walking at night. Even in the darkest weather, they could make out the general direction after a while. So he could see the direction his wife's arm was pointing. He looked up and was startled. He saw several black shadows running fast, and there was a green light flashing on them. He was so scared that his legs went limp.

"Wow - there's a ghost! Wow -"

Tiedan had been frightened awake by his mother a long time ago, and now he saw the green lights and burst into tears out of fright.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Daddy is here! Don't cry! Daddy will beat the ghost away for you, don't be afraid! Look, the ghost has run away!"

No matter how many shortcomings Zhao Dazhu has, he loves his son. After his son fell into the ice hole and became weak, he loved his son even more. The experience of his son almost dying made him treat his son as a treasure. So no matter how scared he is now, when he hears his son crying, he will comfort him. In fact, he is also comforting himself, because he is also scared in his heart.

"Hey? Those aren't ghosts, are they? If they were, how could they run away?"

Dazhu's wife was afraid at first, but when she heard Zhao Dazhu's words, she came to her senses and thought that if it was a real ghost, it would not be afraid of people and would not run away. But the black shadow they saw ran away now. And she seemed to have heard them talking just now, but she was too scared and didn't pay attention.

What did they say? Something like 'We've been spotted, run away'? That's not what a ghost would say! Are they human beings?!

"Boss! They are human beings! They put the green light on their bodies! Go and catch them! Damn it! How dare you scare me! I will skin them alive!"

Dazhu's wife usually loves to gossip with people about all sorts of things. Although her words are all useless, she has heard a lot of interesting things. She has heard others say that some people put something on their bodies that can emit green light at night, and then they go to scare people. Now that she has realized that those black shadows are people, she naturally remembers what the green light is, and naturally she is no longer afraid.

"Tiedan's father! Hurry up! There are only two of them at most, you can catch one if you catch one! This must be a thief, it will be good for us if we catch him!"

Dazhu's wife didn't do a good deed by catching the thief; she was thinking about getting some benefits.

The reason why they were sure it was a thief was that the shadow ran away when it heard their voices, and secondly, who would put something that could emit green light like will-o'-the-wisp on their body? So it must be a thief!

Zhao Dazhu's wife had his iron egg snatched from his arms. Bao Neng was urged to chase after him. He was usually not very courageous, but he was quite obedient, especially when he heard his wife say that he could benefit from it, he became excited.

The two shadows in front were also unlucky. They were running in a sweet potato field, which was full of ridges and vines. They tripped several times and screamed as they fell. But Zhao Dazhu was much more agile. He knew how to walk in a sweet potato field without tripping. So he was getting closer and closer to the two men.

One of the two men fell down again, while the other kept running forward. Zhao Dazhu was also lucky, because when he ran to the other man, he hadn't gotten up yet, so he was able to pin him down easily.

"You thief! I finally caught you!"

"I'm not a thief! Not a thief! Let me go! Ah! Don't hit me! I'm one of those who escaped during the day, I'm not a thief!"

The captured man's voice showed that he was not an old man. He seemed to be only in his teens and not very tall, so Zhao Dazhu caught him easily. After being hit twice, he begged for mercy and told him everything, just asking not to be beaten.

When Zhao Dazhu heard that it was a refugee who came during the day, he still beat him a few times. When he was sure that the man could not escape, he pulled a bunch of sweet potato vines to tie the man's hands and dragged him to his wife and children. He did not chase the other person who ran away. This one was enough. Even if he chased the other one, he would not be able to catch up, and he might not be able to beat him. He was able to catch this one because he was impulsive, but he did not have the courage to catch anyone else.

"Wife, I caught one and he said he was a refugee who came here during the day."

Zhao Dazhu pulled the man and said to his wife.

When Dazhu's wife heard the identity of this man, she was a little disappointed, thinking that he was a poor guy. She asked her husband to catch the thief, thinking of getting benefits, but she didn't intend to hand the thief over to others and then get benefits from them. She was not stupid. What could these people steal in a sweet potato field? Just sweet potatoes. If she caught the man stealing sweet potatoes, the villagers would only give her a small benefit like a few sweet potatoes, or just say thank you. She really didn't care. The benefits she wanted were to get from this little thief. She wanted to catch the thief and extort money from him.

Dazhu's wife thought that no matter whether the thief was from Hebian Village or any other village, he must be nearby. The fellow villagers all wanted to give her face, so if they didn't want to embarrass themselves, they had to give her money.

But she didn't expect that this person was not from Hebian Village, or even from a nearby village, but one of those who had fled here during the day. Aren't they poor ghosts? She had no hope of getting any good out of this.

The man kept begging them to let him go, saying a lot of nice things.

Dazhu's wife was furious. She was even more annoyed when she heard the man say that he was willing to do anything for them. She wondered what he could do for them. However, she was quick-witted and suddenly came up with an idea. She thought that this man could really do it for her.

"Okay, you don't ask anymore. Come with me and I'll tell you something. If you agree, I'll let you go. You will definitely agree. This is a good thing! It will allow all of you to have food to eat!"

Dazhu's wife asked Zhao Dazhu to pull the man forward. She had to find a place where there was no one to talk. Although there were few people living on the east side of the river, who knew if anyone would come to see what they were doing.
