Most people wondered: Is this a case of theft? More like a case of thief within the family.
Regardless, we still need to check the site.
Song Lizheng quickly surveyed the situation in the courtyard and was also dumbfounded.
It seems like a thief broke into Song Lao Er's house, but it doesn't quite look like one.
He initially thought that Yun girl had just taken a few things with her when she left, but now it seems that this is no small matter!
They took everything they could carry—food, household items, drinks, clothes, plows, harrows, winnowing baskets, hoes, carrying poles—except for the walls and earthen beds. It was practically a house move; it was like a thief breaking in.
Even more outrageous is that the woodpile behind the house, which was taller than the house itself, has disappeared.
Uncle Qi, the village doctor, was quickly helped into the house and first checked on the person on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Granny Gu was so angry that she fainted, but Uncle Qi woke her up with a needle. She then pounded the ground and cried loudly with great energy.
Song Shuirong was fast asleep, and no matter what she did—pouring cold water on her, pinching her philtrum—she wouldn't open her eyes.
Finally, the old doctor unleashed his ultimate move, performing "Ten Points Bloodletting" to bring the person back to consciousness.
Song Shuirong's ten slender fingers were pierced and bleeding profusely, a sight that would make anyone ache.
Now that the person was awake, Song, the village head, remembered that he needed to protect the scene, and everyone in the courtyard was driven out.
Those who were quick on their feet went to the town's public housing to report the crime, those with good eyesight searched for clues in all directions, and sent people to guard several exits of the village road to prevent the thief from hiding in the village. The rest searched house to house.
Something seemed amiss, and Song, the village head, panicked.
Song Shuirong was clearly drugged.
Song Liyun has disappeared, but Song Lao Er doesn't mention looking for her, only saying that he's catching a thief.
Did Yun manage to escape?
Or was the person hidden elsewhere by Song Lao Er, who deliberately made the house look like it had been burgled, in an attempt to evade Master Xue's betrothal gifts?
Given the audacity and shamelessness of Song Lao Er and his gang, it's hard to say what will happen.
Anyway, Song Lizheng wasn't the only one with this suspicion.
Things had gone beyond Song Lizheng's expectations. Now, all he could think of was to search the village first: he wanted to find the people alive or dead, and even if they were thieves, he wanted to find out every clue.
