Shen Moer stared at the window, thinking that if she wasn't so brave, she would have fainted by now. She didn't know who was outside, and whether he was trying to scare her in the middle of the night.

No matter if it was a human or a ghost, she had to find out what was going on, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Thinking of this, Shen Moer gently pulled the latch on the window and was about to open it unexpectedly. As a result, the window had just opened a crack when the people outside found out. Shen Moer heard a deliberately low voice saying quickly: "Someone is stealing your bricks."

Almost at the same time, a rustling sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

When Shen Moer opened the window completely, she saw a thin and muscular figure in the night quickly sneaking towards the backyard of the brigade headquarters.

Although the man spoke very softly, it was quiet at night, so Shen Moer naturally heard what he said. She stood at the window for a while. The place where their family kept bricks was on the other side, and she couldn't see what was happening over there from here. But she didn't know if it was an illusion, Shen Moer felt that she seemed to have heard some faint sounds.

Besides, it was the middle of the night, and there was no need for people to go to great lengths to tease her.

Shen Moer gently closed the window, walked quickly outside to wake up Shen Shaoyuan, and whispered to him what had just happened. Shen Shaoyuan was still a little dazed at first, but when he heard someone stealing bricks, he suddenly woke up and got out of bed immediately: "Go and take a look."

The two walked to the door, and Shen Shaoyuan took two sticks from the side, holding one for himself and handing the other to Shen Moer, and whispered: "Beat them if there are few people, and run away if there are many people."

Shen Moer: "..."

He is worthy of being her father.

Shen Moer used the back of her foot to slightly support the door panel and opened the door almost silently. The father and daughter exchanged glances in the moonlight that leaked in. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the clouds covered the moon, Shen Moer quietly walked out with a stick in her hand.

Shen Shaoyuan waited for Shen Moer to go out for a while before following her out as lightly as possible. He walked heavily and followed closely for fear of being heard by thieves.

On the wasteland behind the Shen family's new house, thousands of bricks were neatly stacked there. Shen Moer squatted in the corner of the wall and took a look. She immediately noticed something was wrong. The bricks were obviously shorter than in the evening.

She was just about to go over to take a closer look when she heard a low voice from the other side: "Almost...if there are more,

they will be found...let's go..." The voice was very soft and intermittent, but Shen Moer could roughly guess what it meant. It should be saying that they had taken almost all the things, and if there were more, her family would find out tomorrow

. Another voice sounded: "You are really as brave as a lice. You have already taken them, so why are you afraid of whether they can be found or not? It's better to find out, so that they know that you shouldn't be too arrogant."

This person was obviously brave and reckless, and his voice was much louder than the previous one. Shen Moer could hear it almost clearly.

At this time, another voice rang out: "Hurry up, hurry up, pick up one more basket and go."

While they were picking up bricks diligently, Shen Moer quietly moved a little further over there, and finally saw three people on the other side of the brick pile.

The moonlight was like silver, shining on the quiet earth, and Shen Moer also saw the appearance of the three people clearly.

"So it's them."

Shen Shaoyuan also came quietly at some point and said five words almost silently.

The father and daughter tacitly did not say anything, nor did they rush out to beat people as they said at the beginning, but squatted side by side and watched the three people grunting and putting bricks into the basket with interest.

Yes, one, two, three, four, five, six, a full six baskets.

Fortunately, they had already loaded five baskets, and the remaining one didn't take long to load. After loading, the three of them carried two baskets each.

When the three of them walked a little further with their carrying poles, Shen Shaoyuan couldn't help but mutter, "How stupid they are!"

Although bricks are hard to buy these days, stealing bricks is really hard to describe. How heavy is this thing? Isn't stealing this thing just asking for trouble?

In addition, since you want to steal bricks, you should make some preparations, such as finding a way to borrow a donkey cart or something. If that doesn't work, a cart will do. But these three idiots actually thought of using baskets to carry them.

You can't blame Shen Shaoyuan for calling them stupid.

Just for this, Shen Shaoyuan suspected that even a pig would feel wronged.

Moreover, he didn't know what these three people were thinking. They didn't send the stolen things out, but walked into the village instead. Although the village has been peaceful recently, and the militia patrols have gradually relaxed. Maybe there is no patrol at this time, but we can't rule out that someone got up at night and ran into them, right? Anyone who saw them carrying baskets in the middle of the night would know that there was something wrong.

Shen Shaoyuan couldn't help but think of what his royal brother often said: Being stupid is nothing, the most frightening thing is that stupid people are bold enough to do anything.

Well, those officials who were incompetent in government affairs, exploited the people, and embezzled public funds were chopped off by his royal brother in this way.

But being a little stupid is also good, it saves them a lot of trouble.

The father and daughter quickly followed, and then at a fork in the road, Shen Moer went up a small path.

That's how it is in the countryside. In addition to the proper village roads, there are actually walkways in front of and behind everyone's house, leading to all directions. Shen Moer was now quite familiar with the topography of the village. She quickly circled in front of the three people, and then knocked on the doors of several households one after another.

She didn't care if the people inside heard it or not. After knocking, she ran back and ran back to a fork in the road ahead, just in time to see the three people coming over with their loads on their shoulders.

The three people walked quite fast, but after all, they were carrying such heavy things, so naturally they couldn't go very fast. The shorter one looked around and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear any noise?"

"What kind of noise could there be? There are no babies in this area. Everyone is fast asleep. Even if they get up at night, they won't run outside. I have already inquired about it in advance." said the tallest one. "That's right

, Xiaohui, you are just too timid. Brother Hong is such a smart man, and he does things..."

The other one was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his ears, and then with a snap, something hit his back hard. His feet were unstable, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the other two people also suffered the same "treatment" and were knocked to the ground inexplicably.

"Ahhhh, who's behind you?!"

"Who the hell dares to hit me?"

"Fuck, run!"

Finally, one person remembered that they were stealing, and he got up and tried to run, but he was hit hard with a stick. The other two who wanted to get up and run after being reminded by him naturally received the same "treatment".

At this time, the lights were turned on in some houses nearby and even in front.

The three people who were struggling to get up but couldn't get up suddenly heard a cry from the direction behind them: "Murder, robbery, theft--"

Almost immediately, the houses with lights on opened their doors, and some people carried kerosene lamps, some carried brooms, and some held hoes, and quickly surrounded them.

"What's going on? Where is the murder?"

"Where, where? Who is committing robbery? They are so brave to come to our Yangliu Brigade to rob!"

"Oh my god, what's in this basket? Are they bricks?"

"No, why are you carrying so many bricks in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, aren't these Xiaohong, Lihui and Minbing from the Shen family?"

These people didn't dare to step forward at first. After all, murderers and robbers are all extremely vicious people. If they step forward rashly, they might get stabbed.

But they soon realized something was wrong. Although there were many baskets scattered on the ground, there were no murder weapons or bloodstains. It didn't look like a murder scene. After seeing the bricks in the baskets and the three people looking at them with fear on their faces, many people bravely stepped forward.

At the same time, two people hurried over from a distance. The one running in front was panting and shouting, "Catch those three thieves quickly. They stole bricks. They want to kill me!"

The one running behind sobbed, "Too bad, these people are too bad. Why do they steal our bricks..."

There were many people around, and many of them were holding kerosene lamps. At this moment, this section of the village road was as bright as day, so everyone immediately saw clearly that the people coming were Shen Laoqi and his daughter Shen Moer.

Ah, this.

At this moment, several people who reacted quickly thought at the same time, what is this!

The three people on the ground, Shen Hong, the eldest son of Shen Jianping, the eldest son of Shen's first wife, Shen Lihui, the eldest son of Shen Jianan, the second son of Shen's first wife, and Shen Minbing, the eldest son of Shen Jianye, the eldest son of Shen's second wife... These three are all nephews of Shen Laoqi.

The matter is also obvious. These three did something bad in the middle of the night. They ran to the village entrance and stole the bricks from their uncle's house. The key point is that they were discovered and chased here.

Shen Shaoyuan stumbled over and slumped down beside a basket. He carefully picked up a scattered brick, held the brick in one hand, and tightly grasped the basket with the other, crying: "My bricks, I almost never saw you again. If you were stolen, how would I live--"

Others: "..."

No, although it is very sad when something is almost stolen, you shouldn't cry as if your wife was almost stolen, right?

This sounds really easy to be misunderstood!

"Dad, it's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, you woke up and heard it. We chased out in a panic. Fortunately, these uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law were also alert and enthusiastic. They helped us catch the thief. You see, there are still many good people in our village. These bricks are all here, all here!" Shen Moer supported her father's arm and persuaded him.

The three people on the ground immediately raised their heads and glanced at the people present with angry and hateful eyes.

They didn't fall for no reason. They were knocked down by someone. It seems that the person who knocked them down is among these people.

It's really hateful to meddle in other people's business in the middle of the night.

It's really not fair to use shady tricks behind the scenes!

When the others heard what Shen Moer said, they all looked confused. They did hear the noise outside and came out to catch the bad guys, but when they came out, the three were already lying here. Strictly speaking, they shouldn't have caught them, right?

Someone murmured, "That's actually true. Although the three fell, if we hadn't surrounded them, they would have gotten up and run away, right?"

Someone suddenly realized, "That's right! In that case, we really helped."

These days, doing what is right and helping others is a proud thing.

They did a good thing.

Everyone immediately straightened their chests silently. At least, they were the first to run out to help when they heard the shouts outside. Subjectively, they wanted to help, and objectively, they stopped the thief from escaping. To put it bluntly, they caught the thief together.

Someone said: "Although the thief himself was too stupid, we did add bricks and tiles."

The trio on the ground: "..."

It's okay to be caught, why do you still slander them for being stupid? !

They are inferior in force, not stupid!

Someone else said: "Shen Laoqi, these three are your nephews, what are you going to do about this?"

Shen Shaoyuan hugged the blue brick and cried: "How is it possible, how could I have such a bad and stupid nephew?"

The trio: "..."

They were plotted against, not stupid, not stupid!
