Seeing Yingzi's happy face, Lu Chen was relieved and believed that Tiezhu would give her happiness.

"Tiezhu, when your legs are healed, go play with me. Lu Chen said.

"Okay, this time because of my business, I really worried Brother Lu. Tie Zhu said gratefully.

"It's not a problem, we're brothers, just tell me if you have anything in the future. Lu Chen said very sincerely.

"Uh-huh. "Tie Zhu is a real person, and it is fate to be able to know Lu Chen.

The three men sat there talking and laughing, and Yingzi and Tiezhu's mother picked a lot of vegetables from the garden and prepared to cook something delicious.

Although Tiezhu's house was burned, Lu Chen couldn't be neglected because of this.

"Brother Lu, it just so happens that in the past two days, my father has gone to the river to catch a few big fish, and I will stew them for you to eat in a while. ”

Lu Chen didn't refuse, nodded with a smile, and said that he would also help with the cooking.

"Brother Lu, you are a guest, how can you cook, let's chat and let them cook." Tie Zhu said seriously.

"It's fine. Lu Chen said with a smile.

Half an hour later, when the meal was about to be ready, suddenly, a middle-aged man ran in from outside, panting and shouting. "Oh no, no. ”

The middle-aged man gasped and said, "The cherries on your mountain have been stolen!"

"Uncle Wang, have you seen it, is this true?" Tie Zhu's mother hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I just came down from the mountain, so I'm going to tell you quickly, it's the day of the cherry harvest, and I can't let those thieves steal it." Uncle Wang said eagerly.

Tiezhu's mother hurriedly put down the shovel in her hand and said, "Dad, go up the mountain and have a look!"

The two couples were about to go out, and Lu Chen hurriedly proposed, "I'll follow you up the mountain, in case there is any help." ”

"It's okay, let Yingzi take care of the iron pillar at home, let's go quickly. ”

"Xiao Lu, I'm really tired of you. Father Tiezhu said.

"It's alright, let's hurry up the mountain. Lu Chen said as he followed behind Tiezhu's father.

Farmers also make some money by growing some fruit or something, and once they are taken away by thieves, they are working in vain.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is not easy for a person around 50 years old like Tiezhu's parents to have such good legs and feet.

"Xiao Lu, if you are tired, just rest for a while and go up the mountain, and your aunt and I will go first. Father Tiezhu said.

"No, I have the stamina. Lu Chen said, "Let's hurry up the mountain." ”

In this way, the three of them soon came to the mountain, and sure enough, they saw several men busy in the cherry orchard from afar.

"Sure enough, it's a thief. Lu Chen muttered.

"Hey, what are you doing, what are you doing there?" Suddenly, just when no one expected it, Daddy Iron Pillar suddenly shouted.

Several men obviously heard the voice of Tiezhu's father, and immediately stopped what they were doing, and they were about to run away with their things.

"Actually running, wait for Lao Tzu!" Tiezhu's father immediately chased his legs, believing that they couldn't run fast if they had just picked cherries in their hands.

"Uncle, be careful!" Lu Chen reminded, and also stepped forward to chase after him, and Tiezhu's mother was not idle, and immediately followed.

"Don't run, stop me!" shouted Daddy Iron Pillar as he ran.

But the man running in front had no intention of stopping.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to chase me. The man was carrying a white plastic bag, which was obviously filled with cherries, but his legs and feet were very agile, which made Tiezhu's father a little distressed.

"Uncle, use stones, stones!" Lu Chen was still chasing the two young men on the other side at this time.

Tie Zhu's father heard Lu Chen's voice, and immediately picked up a fist-sized stone without bending down and smashed it at the man in front of him.

Sou!

Bang!

Yes!

In an instant, only a scream was heard, and the man couldn't withstand the blow of the stone, and squatted on the ground, covering his head with both hands, as if the stone had hit his head.

Seeing this, Tiezhu's father immediately sped up and ran to the man's side, but fortunately, the man did not continue to run, so he caught it.

"Let you run again, you have the ability to run!" Father Tiezhu ran over and kicked the man's ass hard, which almost made the man kneel on the ground.

The man didn't say a word, but blood was already coming out of his head.

"It's for you to run, if you don't run, you can be smashed on the head by me and bleed, you deserve it!" Tiezhu's father said angrily.

Lu Chen's side has also been dealt with, and the other two young men have been subdued.

"Don't hurry up and leave!" Lu Chen scolded, "You really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, you dare to come to the cherry, and you will pay the price today!"

The two thieves could be regarded as having seen Lu Chen's power, so they could only obediently listen to Lu Chen's words and follow him.

"Uncle, look at what to do with them!" Lu Chen looked at the cherries in the bags of several of them and said, "I really stole a lot." ”

"It's so hateful, you have good arms and legs, why did you come out to do such a thing, you stole my cherries, you can't just leave it at that, what do you say, should I send you to your house to find your parents, or pay a sum of money?" Tiezhu's father is not an unreasonable person, judging by their age, they are only in their early twenties.

"Don't, don't tell our parents, if they find out, they'll beat me. One of the young men said.

When Lu Chen heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you know these three people?"

"Yes, they're all kids from the neighboring village. Father Tiezhu said with a sigh.

Lu Chen nodded, since he was from the next village, he couldn't be too offended, in case they were looking for trouble from the Tiezhu family in the future, it would be bad.

"I don't want to do anything to you, after all, you stole my cherries, so it's certain to lose money. "No matter how angry Father Tiezhu is, he can only solve it in this way.

Lu Chen is also very understanding, there is no need to make too much trouble about this kind of thing, as long as you know everything.

"Then, how much do you say?" asked the young man.

"What do you think of the compensation at thirty yuan per catty?" Tie Zhu's father asked.

Naturally, they had nothing to say, so they could only nod their heads in general, "Okay." ”

Suddenly, the young man whose head was smashed opened his mouth and said, "My head was smashed by you, and there is still blood left, so I will forget the compensation money, right?"

"Do you think you have the right to negotiate terms with me, it's true that you stole my cherries, if you don't steal and don't run, I can break your head, and the compensation is certain. Father Tiezhu said categorically.

The young man looked aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything.

"Let's go, don't be stunned. Father Tiezhu said.

Several young people were stunned and asked. "What are you going for?"

"What else can you do, come with me to the house and weigh how much these cherries are, you can leave after you give the money." ”

A few young people didn't expect to be so unlucky that they would be caught stealing cherries for the first time, and now there was no point in running, so they had to follow Tiezhu's father down the mountain.

Lu Chen was in charge of watching them so that they wouldn't run away.

At home, Yingzi and Tiezhu are still worried about their parents and Lu Chen, after all, it takes some skills to face a few thieves.

"I don't know what happened to my parents and Brother Lu, whether they have caught a few thieves. Tie Zhu asked worriedly.

"It should be okay, with Brother Lu here, there should be no problem. Yingzi comforted and said, "If they don't come back in a while, I'll call and ask." ”

"Mm-hmm, that's fine. Tiezhu agreed, and tried to walk around the yard.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't leave yet, it will hurt your bones. Yingzi reminded with concern.

"It's okay, I think it's totally fine. Tie Zhu said with a smile, "I just walked a few steps, and I still feel very good." ”

"Then you pay attention to safety, I'll make a few more side dishes." Yingzi said.

Tiezhu agreed, and continued walking in the courtyard.

Going down the mountain was much faster than going up, and Lu Chen felt like he would be home in a short time.

"Don't hurry up yet!" Lu Chen urged a few young men behind.

Soon came to Yingzi's house.

"Mom and Dad, you're back. Tie Zhu's hanging heart finally let go, Yingzi happened to have finished the meal, and seeing that they all came back safely, he also smiled.

"It's you. Yingzi stepped forward and said.

Obviously, several young people and Yingzi know each other, so they are embarrassed.

"Tiezhu, I'm sorry, we didn't know that the cherry on the mountain belonged to yours, and we wouldn't have stolen it if we knew it. The young man said with a look of shame.

If it's not the cherry of the Tiezhu family, they should steal it, and they can't steal anyone's cherries.

"No one else's can steal it. Tie Zhu said, "We are all neighboring villages, so you are not afraid of being known, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to find a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"We know it's wrong, uncle, aunt, Tiezhu, Yingzi, don't tell anyone, otherwise we'll be really shameless. "A few young people already know that they are wrong, not to mention that Tiezhu's father is not very bad for them, if it is someone else, it is estimated that they will have to call the police to let the police deal with it.

"Auntie, the meal is ready, can you finish the current matter before eating?" asked Yingzi in a low voice.

Tiezhu's mother nodded, don't be disappointed by a young man.

"Don't stand, take all the cherries you stole and weigh them, how much you should pay or how much you should match, if you don't have money, call your parents quickly and ask them to send them, otherwise no one will want to leave." Father Tiezhu said threateningly.

Several young people still don't want their families to know, but if they can scrape together money, they will never call home.

After a while, the cherries had already been weighed, and it was not too much, and the three of them added up to three hundred yuan.

"Just give three hundred, and you don't need to give any more. Father Tiezhu said.

The three young men nodded hurriedly, they were also very happy, fortunately, it was not much, only three hundred yuan, and the sum of the money of the three of them was enough for three hundred.

The matter was settled, and there was no need for Tiezhu's father to leave them for dinner, so he let them leave immediately.

"I can't do this again in the future, this time fortunately I stole my cherry, if it's someone else, I'm afraid you'll have to go into the bureau and lock up for a few days." Father Tiezhu said without exaggeration.

"Yes, yes, yes. The young men had nothing to say, but nodded their heads again and again, saying that they would never do this in the future.

They originally stole some money and sold it, but they didn't expect to lose their wives and soldiers, which can be regarded as a profound lesson for them.
