When Cheng Jingmo and his friends arrived outside the orchard, it was already dark.
"Are you sure it's here?" he asked Xiaojie.
It was so dark that Xiaojie wasn't sure, "I think so."
Cheng Jingmo got out of the car first, then put a raincoat on Yu Xiangnian and gave Xiaojie an umbrella.
The rain had subsided a lot by this time. He held a flashlight in one hand and supported Yu Xiangnian with the other, while Xiao Jie walked on the other side of him.
The three of them walked a short distance and saw two bicycles lying in the grass.
Cheng Jingmo checked and found that it was the one at home and the one owned by Yu Xiangyang.
This is it, that’s right!
Cheng Jingmo led the two of them over the bamboo fence and walked forward. After about fifty meters, they saw a small house with bright light coming through it.
The three of them quickened their pace and arrived at the door of the cabin.
Four men were sitting in a small room of more than 40 square meters.
Yu Xiangyang and Lin Ye were squatting on the ground, both of them were soaked. Yu Xiangyang's hands were tied with ropes.
Cheng Jingmo felt a little relieved.
Yu Xiangyang was tied up obediently and did not resist, so it was not too wrong!
If we plead with these fellow villagers and offer some compensation, it shouldn't be a problem.
Yu Xiangyang was the first to see the person at the door. His eyes lit up, "Cheng Jingmo, you're finally here."
He knew Cheng Jingmo would come to find him!
Cheng Jingmo really couldn't bear to look at him!
A soldier did such a shameful thing as climbing a tree to steal mangoes and was caught!
Cheng Jingmo knocked on the open door and said, "Fellow villagers, sorry to bother you."
Several men had already seen Cheng Jingmo when Yu Xiangyang shouted just now.
A man stood up and walked to the door, "What are you?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I am the family of these two people. I want to ask, what happened?"
The man glanced at Yu Xiangyang and Lin Ye and said, "They're stealing fruit from the orchard. When the rain stops, we'll send them to the police station!"
Cheng Jingmo lied shamelessly, "My fellow villager, they didn't steal the fruit on purpose. It was because of my wife..."
He pulled Yu Xiangnian in front of him and said, "This is my wife. She's pregnant, but the doctor said the baby is a little small and we need to supplement its nutrition. That man is her brother, and that man is my sister. They heard that eating fruit is good for the fetus, so they thought of picking some fruit and bringing it back for my wife to eat."
Cheng Jingmo added, "Fellow villagers, how about this? We'll compensate them for the amount of fruit they picked. I'll go home and take good care of them, and make them promise not to come here to pick fruit again!"
Cheng Jingmo apologized in a very good manner, and Yu Xiangnian was standing at the door with a big belly, so the fellow villager was not indifferent.
He moved aside to make room for her. "It's raining outside. Come in first and talk."
After Cheng Jingmo and the others entered the house, there was no room to turn around in the already crowded little room.
Yu Xiangnian pretended to be pitiful and pleaded with a few fellow villagers. The villagers said embarrassedly: "It's not that we are unkind, it's mainly because they are habitual thieves. They have stolen all the fruits outside the orchard!"
Yu Xiangyang had just explained this issue for a long time, and his lips were swollen, but his fellow villager just didn't believe him.
I insist that they stole all the fruits!
Cheng Jingmo asked his fellow villagers in detail about the previous incidents of fruit theft.
I don’t know who they are, but some of the fruits are stolen every few days.
Cheng Jingmo said, "Fellow villagers, how about this? We'll help you catch those fruit thieves, and you'll let them go?"
Cheng Jingmo assured again, "They really weren't the ones who stole the fruit the last few times. They were at home every day and never came out!"
When the villagers heard that they were asked to help them catch the person who stole the fruit, they became hesitant.
They had been waiting for several days and finally caught these two men.
If Cheng Jingmo helped them catch the thief, they wouldn't have to worry about the fruit being stolen in the future.
The fellow villager asked, "Do your words count? How can we trust you?"
Cheng Jingmo said, "Starting tomorrow, we will be on night patrol. As long as the fruit thieves show up, we will definitely catch them!"
To ensure Cheng Jingmo kept his word, the fellow villager said, "We see you're reliable, so we'll trust you this time! These two people will stay here first, and when you catch the thief, we'll let them go!"
Cheng Jingmo: “…”
He understood that if he didn't come up with something that would convince his fellow villagers tonight, he would not be able to take Yu Xiangyang and Lin Ye away.
He thought for a moment, took out his military ID from his jacket pocket and handed it to his fellow villager.
"My fellow villager, I'm a soldier from the military district. I promise you, I'll catch the thieves starting tomorrow night and won't stop until I catch them! Today, let me take these two back and teach them a lesson."
The fellow villager looked at the military ID, then at Cheng Jingmo, and checked for a long time to make sure it was the same person.
The fellow villager looked at Yu Xiangyang, whose hands were tied, and asked in disbelief, "He is also a soldier?"
Cheng Jingmo: "...No. He is my wife's family member, and he came from another place to visit my wife."
The fellow villager naturally believed in the soldier, so he returned the military ID to Cheng Jingmo.
"So you're a PLA soldier? We believe you! Just take him back first!"
"Thank you, fellow countryman! Thank you, fellow countryman!" Cheng Jingmo expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Another fellow villager untied the rope tied around Yu Xiangyang's hands.
After Cheng Jingmo and the others expressed their gratitude again, they left the cabin with Yu Xiangyang and Lin Ye.
"Yu Xiangyang, are you ashamed?!" Yu Xiangnian cursed in a low voice not long after he walked away.
