Chapter 64 Village Bull
The thief screamed and crawled out of the door. His accomplice supported him with his back hand. Both of them wished they had an extra pair of legs.
"We can't let them get away!"
When Ding Xiaodie thought about the consequences, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
In such a desolate era, countless people died of starvation and thirst. If someone has bad intentions, what can be done even if they take action?
Just like in Yangliu Town, even the head of the village ran away, and there was no one in charge in the government office, which is the so-called anarchy.
Fortunately, the villagers did not react to this incident, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
So these two thieves must be caught, at least we have to know who they are so that we can be on guard against them in the future.
After hearing what Ding Xiaodie said, Ding Gui and his wife realized that they could not let the two people go easily. Relying on the fact that they were adults and could run faster than their daughter, the two of them quickly rushed out of the house.
I saw the two men running to the end of the street!
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" Zhang Xiu screamed loudly, "Help, catch the thief!"
The sleeping villagers were awakened by the roar, and almost every household opened the windows to look outside.
Soon, the village chief Lai Fu came out with his shirt buttoned up and asked, "Ding Gui, what's going on?"
"Village chief, our house was just broken into by two grown men. If we hadn't woken them up, they would have taken away all the food in the house." Ding Gui loudly recounted what had just happened: "Xiao Die and my mother were really scared. Village chief, you have to take care of us!"
“That’s the case.”
Lai Fu walked up to them with a sullen face, and other villagers also came out of their homes to watch the fun.
"Who is it? Did you see clearly?" Lai Fu raised his voice: "In this day and age, it's bad enough that we don't unite, but you even have the nerve to target other people's families. How shameless are you?"
"We didn't see it clearly, but we saw those two people running towards the end of the street!"
Zhang Xiu pointed to the end of the street.
Villagers also came over there one after another.
This street is almost full of people. The majority of the people on this side of the street are from the Ding family, while at the end of the street there are a few Miao families. At this time, the village chief looked at the faces of Ding Gui and his wife, and he roughly understood what was going on.
The thief ran to the end of the street where the Miao family lived. They couldn't just say he was from the Miao family, so they could only wake everyone up to see who it was.
But Lai Fu won't tolerate this matter.
He has always had a correct outlook on life and cannot tolerate any flaws.
What's more, now that we are just beginning to see some hope in our lives, we must not allow this unhealthy trend to spread.
"Dabao, strike the gong."
After pondering for a moment, Lai Fu waved his hand and said, "You want to hide, right? Then gather everyone together and see whether you are a human or a ghost. How can you be so shameless?"
Dabao was just about to say a few words to comfort Ding Xiaodie, but now he responded by ringing the gong.
Erbao rubbed Xiaodie's head twice with concern: "Don't be afraid, Xiaodie, wait until we catch the thief."
Ding Xiaodie nodded.
As for Wang Dafeng, she was not frightened as Ding Gui said, because she had no idea what happened at the time. She was awakened only when she heard the sound of jars falling.
Now I finally understood what was going on, and I felt scared and angry at the same time.
"Who is the shameless one who is jealous of our family? Stand up right here, or I'll break your arm..."
"mother."
"You take a break first."
At this moment, brothers Ding Rong and Ding De hurried over. They were very worried about their sweet potatoes. After they stood firm, they hurriedly asked, "Is nothing lost?"
"Are the sweet potatoes still available?"
Wang Dafeng glanced at her two sons. They were so devoid of any human touch. However, she didn't expect them to come here to care about the third son's family, so she said coldly, "Don't worry, it's okay. I guarantee that your sweet potatoes will be eaten by your dogs."
The two brothers: "..."
What kind of talk is that!
The surrounding villagers couldn't help but laugh at what Wang Dafeng said.
The old woman is very good at talking and always hits the nail on the head.
Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was a good thing that the sweet potatoes were not lost, otherwise the two brothers would definitely cheat.
Soon, all the villagers gathered together in a short time.
There are quite a few people with the surnames Ding and Miao. According to the evidence provided by Mr. and Mrs. Ding Gui, all the women should withdraw, and older men do not have to stand in the line.
The two thieves were very young and strong, and they were also injured.
At this moment, Lai Fu felt a bittersweet feeling of disappointment. "What a shame! Look at you all, each of you is the backbone of your family. We already have Master Lu taking care of us, so how could you do something so immoral? Besides, if Master Lu hears about this, what will your family think of us from Aozigou?"
"Village chief, this matter has nothing to do with us Miao people. We live at the end of the street. How could we have the courage to come here and steal people?" A man suddenly spoke in a rough voice.
His name is Miao Daxing, and he is Miao Dayou's cousin. He is a village bully who not only bullies people with the surname Miao, but also people with the surname Ding. He is insidious and cunning, but the villagers dare not say anything to him.
It all started because Miao Daxing once served as a soldier and fought in a battle with a great general. Later, for some unknown reason, he left the general and returned to his hometown to make a living by farming.
But because he had seen the bloody battlefield, he was very brave and often scared the weak people in the village.
At this time, the three members of the Ding family looked towards Miao Daxing in the direction of the voice.
Although the light was not very good, it was obvious that the other person was of a burly build and could not be the two thieves who had just come to the door.
The village chief only said, "Miao Daxing, just because you didn't do it doesn't mean others didn't do it. Whether it's the Ding or Miao family, I must get to the bottom of this matter."
Ding Xiaodie thought of an idea. She tugged at the edge of her father's clothes and whispered to him as he bent down, "That jar you threw just now was quite powerful, and it hit the other person's wrist. I guess some people can't even raise their hands now."
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that?"
Ding Gui's eyes lit up. Instead of wasting time here, he could just ask everyone to raise their hands. He would be able to see it at a glance.
"etc."
Seeing that he was about to tell the village chief, Zhang Xiu quickly stopped him and whispered, "Leave some room for man."
"I know."
This is true in any era. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Since the other party has not stolen anything, it is better to wait and see.
"Village chief, I have a solution."
Ding Gui hurried to the village chief and whispered to him, "When the thief entered my house earlier, I saw his hand. If he could stretch it out and take a look now, I would know who he was."
The village chief was stunned. He had never experienced such a thing before, but as long as he could find the suspect, he would probably know the real truth.
