"Is there any food to eat?" Tao Yong asked impatiently.
The man quickly replied, "Of course it's not as good as rice! But once we've stolen the grain, we can come back and get some beans to take with us. If we make them into tofu, that would be delicious!"
Although he had never eaten it himself, he had seen wealthy people in the city eat it.
It's white and tender, and looks delicious.
Tao Yong didn't even consider whether it was tofu or not; in his eyes, if it wasn't as delicious as rice, it wasn't worth the risk.
"Hurry up and get into the village. Stop dawdling and don't forget our purpose today," Tao Yong urged.
The people behind dared not slack off any longer. Only the person who had just met the beans stayed at the very back of the line, secretly stuffing some bean pods into his pocket.
When Wang Dazhuang and his group patrolled to the end of the village, Zhao Youqian finally got a chance to speak.
"Brother Dazhuang, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet." As he spoke, Zhao Youqian clutched his stomach, his expression pained.
Wang Dazhuang glanced at him and cursed irritably, "Lazy donkeys on millstones produce lots of shit and piss!" I really don't know how he found a wife.
Zhao Youqian tossed the shovel in his hand to Zhao Pang, saying, "Fatty, give this to your uncle. I'll be back in a bit." With that, he ran off in one direction.
Wang Dazhuang glanced in the direction Zhao Youcai had gone and then said, "Xiang Nan, Fatty, you two go patrol the village entrance again. The three of us will patrol here and then go check the fields."
Zhao Xiangnan and Zhao Pang were eager to get back, and with a joyful heart, they ran off.
Zhao Xiangbei and Zhao Ming were the only two left. Wang Dazhuang's expression turned serious. "Brothers, we'd better grab our weapons. You two, pin Zhao Youqian down. I'm strong, so I'll hold off those thieves."
Zhao Ming and Zhao Xiangbei both looked very serious, and they nodded earnestly.
The three men followed the direction where Zhao Youcai had disappeared, and only when they were about 500 meters from the end of the village did they see Zhao Youcai acting suspiciously.
Zhao Ming lowered his voice, "It seems there are quite a few of them." They were a dark mass, and they couldn't make out exactly how many there were.
"Don't worry, once they get into the village, we'll make sure they never come back!" Wang Dazhuang said bitterly, gripping the shovel tightly in his hand.
Under the cover of night, Zhao Youqian led Tao Yong, Tao Qing, and their gang of thieves into the village without any trouble.
Wang Dazhuang, Zhao Xiangbei, and Zhao Ming, armed with weapons, followed not far from the group of thieves.
This group seemed to have planned this in advance; upon arriving in the village, they split into three groups. Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, they stealthily climbed over the walls of the villagers' courtyards.
The first house the thieves broke into was the home of Erhua's mother in the village, because her house was located at the end of the village, making it easier to steal from.
He Dasheng stepped on the shoulders of several villagers and easily climbed onto the top of the courtyard wall.
He had just jumped down and hadn't even had a chance to get up when someone gagged him and put a sack over his head.
