Chapter 160: The Thief

Xie Yujiao took the letter from the village chief's house and walked back, opened the envelope on the way and took a general look at the contents of the letter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It turned out that Sun Cheng wanted to tell him that although the Fu family was allowed to walk freely in the capital, the Fu family was also strictly ordered not to leave the capital.

Fu Yanqing wanted to tell her through Fu Zhaofeng that Fu Fu was afraid that there would be no way to help her return to her hometown in a short time, but his Fu family was willing to help her in terms of travel expenses.

Also, in order to keep a low profile, Fu Zhaofeng was afraid that he would not be able to continue doing business, so his shares in the 'Western-style burger restaurant' had been bought back by Qian Wu and Sun Cheng.

All right! Xie Yujiao felt that this was good news, at least the new emperor not only did not liquidate the Fu family, but also released the Fu family, and the Fu family will rise again after a low profile for a while.

After all, a century-old family is not something that Zhao Kuangyin, an emperor who has not yet sat on the throne, can easily move.

Especially now when rebellions are everywhere, as long as Zhao Kuangyin doesn't want to be attacked on his back, he doesn't dare to move the Fu family easily.

Back at home, Xie Yujiao told her grandfather the news that Sun Cheng brought, and also said that the village chief was afraid that he wanted to organize the villagers to go into the mountains to find water, and wanted to ask his grandfather what he meant.

Because only grandpa knows about that waterhole, if the villagers want to fetch water, they must lead the way, but can the dangerous villagers on this road cope with it?

The old man only said, 'I'll talk about it then,' and there was no follow-up.

In the evening of the second day, the village chief came to him and first said that there was a serious shortage of water in the village, and that some families only had one scoop of drinking water a day, including cooking.

He said that if he continued to do this, he was afraid that if he did not have water, he would die.

Xie Yujiao doesn't know if the village chief is exaggerating, but the lack of water in the village is a fact, if you can carry back even a small amount of water after walking for a few days, it is good to solve the family's daily water for a few days.

She heard her grandfather say, "If you want me to take everyone there, it's okay, but I'll talk about it first, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, especially in the deep mountains, bears, tigers and wolves can be met everywhere at night, and those who go must be young and middle-aged, and they must listen to my arrangement, and even if we are unlucky and run into a guy we can't deal with, then we will run for our lives by our own ability, because I don't have the perfect ability to ensure everyone's life." “

The village chief didn't speak when he heard it, he knew that what Old Man Qu said was reasonable, but many people in the village were about to run off their water, and the little water that could be leaked out of the nearby wells every day added up to a total of one load, and there were so many people in the whole village that it was not enough for one person to drink a sip.

The village chief thought about it for a moment and said, "I will make it clear to everyone, if you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to, we won't force it." ”

"If you want to go, let's leave tomorrow afternoon, and bring three or four days' worth of dry food and water storage tanks!"

"Okay, I'll just talk to the big guys. Anyway, if you want to go, meet at your house in the afternoon! ”

When the villagers heard the village chief say that Mr. Qu had found a water source, they were all happy and wished that they would go into the mountain now to carry the water back.

One by one, they selectively ignored the danger that the village chief said, and they felt that since Old Man Qu was able to take the little girl to get water and come out safely, those beasts must be an excuse to scare people.

Wait until the old man, the village chief has agreed on the time to set off.

Good guys, a large group of hulala, there are fifty or sixty people, both men and women.

The village chief looked at these people in front of him, and was also a little embarrassed to face Old Man Qu, because these people didn't listen to persuasion, especially those women and Taoist families, seeing that there were so many men there, thinking that even if a few fierce beasts came out, these men would be enough to deal with it.

Old Man Qu once again grimaced and reiterated the danger of entering the mountain this time, but everyone was attracted by the water source, who cares if it is dangerous or not.

There was no way, in the end, Mr. Qu also brought his own guy and followed at the end.

This time, the people who went to fetch water included the sons of the village chief's family, the sons and grandsons of Mrs. Li's family, the men of the Liu family, the father and son of the Niu family, etc., and most of the young and middle-aged people in the village were dispatched.

Xie Yujiao, Kufei and the village chief just stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching a large group of people go towards the mountain.

The weather was too hot, and the village chief also explained that Xie Yujiao had closed the courtyard door for the past few days, don't open the door easily, even if it is the people in the village, be vigilant at night, and let the wolf dog enter the house to accompany her.

The village chief's instructions to Mr. Qu had been instructed in the morning, and they didn't want to think too badly about people's hearts, but they were afraid that someone would take advantage of the young and middle-aged people to enter the mountain, and they would be crooked for a while.

Xie Yujiao also knows that people's hearts are the most untested at this time, and they really need to be guarded against.

After three days passed safely, the team that fetched water overnight should be back.

The village chief came to see her early in the morning, because her house was far away from the village, and now there was only one little girl at home, he was afraid that someone would target the Qu family, if something happened to the little girl, the old man Qu would not let him go easily.

Fortunately, I have come over safely in the past few days.

Just as the villagers were eagerly looking forward to the safe return of the water team tomorrow, this last night became an opportunity for some.

There are so many people who have their eyes on the richest Qu family in the village.

They thought that one was that the Qu family was rich, but that the Qu family now only had a little girl, and as long as they scared and scared, the little girl was not allowed to give all the good things.

So, in the second half of the night, while everyone was asleep, a man with a masked face jumped over the wall and jumped into the yard.

Xie Yujiao hadn't gone out for a few days, and she was bored alone, so she closed the door and started to do something.

Originally, she did it to give herself a psychological comfort, thinking that if someone had a bad intention, she would be amused if she could pierce a few holes in the thief.

So under the courtyard wall, several rows of pointed wooden sticks were densely buried to ensure that those who climbed over the wall fell into the courtyard and were pierced into hedgehogs.

Just as Kufei let out a 'woo' roar in the house, Xie Yujiao woke up with her eyes open.

Then I heard a scream and a wailing in the sky.

Such a miserable cry suddenly came from the silent Dongshan Village, and the sleeping village chief was also awakened.

Xie Yujiao heard the screams, turned over and got up, beckoned Kufei and ran out, she didn't even have time to put on shoes on her feet, so she ran out barefoot.

She didn't even have time to look at the gangsters, so she rushed out of the courtyard, and while the people were still wailing and cursing, she closed the courtyard door and locked it tightly from the outside.

After locking the courtyard door, she ran to Niu's house in discredit, shouting for help as she ran.

Kufei also barked wildly all the way, and the other dogs in the village also barked in the middle of the night.

The dogs barked so unusually that most of the families were awakened and realized that something was wrong.

Then I heard a girl screaming for help.

Xie Yujiao first ran to Niu's house, knocked on the door of Niu's house, and panicked and said that there was a thief in the house, and she locked the yard by her, so she came to find Grandpa Niu and Aunt Niu to avoid it.

It's okay, there are thieves who burglarize, which is a big deal.

There have been no thieves in Dongshan Village for many years, and these thieves must be arrested and severely punished.
