Chapter 74: Search

If it was really murder and robbery, how could the other party give the Xiang family a chance to let her enter the courtyard?

Fox Xiaomei looked at Xiangshi quietly, and when she finished all her words in one breath, her stiff and pale face gradually returned to blood. In the end, she was still very scared and breathed a sigh of relief, and by the way, she took Hu Xiaomei's hand affectionately and said gratefully: "Fence, fortunately you came, otherwise I don't know if the thief would enter the yard!" My heart is still pounding, but it scares me to death! "I completely forgot that Fox Xiaomei is still a teenage girl.

"Aunt Xiang, you're polite, I just happened to hear a voice here and came over to take a look." Hu Xiaomei patted the back of Xiang's hand with her backhand and comforted her. In his heart, he said that as soon as the Xiang family came out, he talked endlessly, and his words were very smooth, and there was no pause in the middle, and it seemed that he was fine!

Xiang Shi exhaled the turbidity in his chest, and the whole person finally felt much more comfortable, looking at Hu Xiaomei's eyes full of gratitude, and he liked it even more, seeing that she had been calm, his heart suddenly looked at her differently. took her hand affectionately, and praised her: "You are such a good boy...... "It was Hu Xiaomei who scared the thief away."

While the two were talking, the chaotic footsteps came from far and near, and soon came to the two of them, and the people from Hujia Village who heard the sound came over in twos and threes, and all this was only a moment.

Seeing her husband Wang Changsheng, Xiang's eyes immediately turned red, tears almost flowed out, and after saying the matter with a palpitating face, everyone smiled just now, and their relaxed and curious expressions became serious.

This thief dares to come during the day, and he can pay it back at night?

The crowd was furious!

Hu Xiaomei also told Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang about someone passing by outside her yard. The two husbands and wives were shocked and horrified, if the thief had bad intentions, and the two of them were not at home, wouldn't the fox Xiaomei be more auspicious?

Wei Sanniang held Hu Xiaomei's hand tightly, as if this was the only way to alleviate the uneasiness and regret in her heart. Fox Dayou asked carefully with a serious face, comforting Fox Xiaomei not to be afraid.

How can the fox be afraid? If she is afraid, she will not chase after the figure. smiled and comforted Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang, and then told the two of them that she saw that one of them was thirteen, including her chasing the figure to the outside of Xiang's house.

The world's motherly heart, Wei Sanniang doesn't care about anything else at this time, as long as the fox Xiaomei is safe and sound, she won't pursue anything. Even if you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for being a mother's thoughtfulness.

And the fox Dayou, who has always been kind, made a face to the fox for the first time: "This kind of thing can't be done again in the future." How dare you, a girl with a weak family, deal with that thief? ”

Fox Xiaomei originally wanted to say that she was chasing thirteen, but it can be seen that Fox Dayou's sharp eyes have to nod obediently.

There are thieves in the daylight. Naturally, this matter cannot be good. Tang Daming deserves to be the village head. Be decisive and resolute. After hearing what happened, he immediately had an idea, and divided a village of men into several groups and began to search in and around the entire Hujia Village. Then he asked people to go to the mayor's mansion immediately to report.

The county government is too far away, so you can go to the mayor's office to report something first.

"Everyone has to search carefully, even if you can't catch this thief, you have to make sure that he leaves our fox village, so as to ensure the safety of the big guy." Tang Daming stiffened his face and looked serious.

Then several groups of people searched carefully from the inside of Hujia Village to the periphery, and then to the back mountain, even the surrounding low fields, but they all found nothing.

The crowd frowned.

Could it be that this thief has run away? But it's too fast. From the beginning of Xiang's shouting, everyone heard the sound and came this way, but in just a cup of tea, the little thief ran away without a trace.

"Village chief, even if this little thief wants to run away towards the mountain, it is impossible for so many of us to come from the fox family and not see anything......" Fox Dayou said to Tang Daming with a calm face, as long as he thought of the little thief passing by Hu Xiaomei just now, his heart trembled, and the houses of the fox brothers were on the side of the road, and it was easy to see the road up the mountain. A large number of people came from that side, and if anyone went up the hill, they would surely see it.

Tang Daming was deeply convinced by Fox Dayou's words, and nodded: "Dayou is right, no matter how fast that thief is, someone will definitely see it." "The speed of everyone eating is different, the one who eats fast has already gotten off the table, standing on the village road talking and chatting, just now the village road is full of people, there are strangers appearing, someone should pay attention.

And those who came down early also said that they stood outside and did not see anyone else going in the direction of the mountain.

Immediately someone asked, "So if the thief didn't go up the mountain, where did he flee?" ”

Fox Xiaomei glanced at Fox Dayou.

Hu Dayou's face was solemn: "If you don't go to the mountain, then it is possible to run to the mountain and go to Xiaojiahe, or to the village inside." ”

When everyone heard it, they felt that it was reasonable, otherwise they couldn't find it everywhere, they must have gone in the direction of Xiaojiahe, and the big guys nodded one after another.

Tang Daming's frowning brows showed a hint of understanding.

Who knows, the fox Dayou's words changed: "However, we didn't see whether the thief fled to the village inside, but when the time comes, this matter will be reported to the yamen, and the yamen will naturally deal with it." The most important thing for us at the moment is to make sure that the thief has left Hujia Village. ”

The brain-clear immediately understood what Fox Dayou meant, and suddenly showed a surprised look, but he didn't expect Fox Dayou to look big on weekdays, but he was thoughtful.

There are also those who don't understand.

"Brother Otomo, I don't know what you mean, didn't we search the entire Hujia Village just now, and we didn't find the thief?" Wang Changsheng was the first to ask.

"Brother Changsheng is right." Fox Dayou nodded with a calm face: "We really didn't find any trace of the thief just now, but although he didn't hide in the village, it's hard to guarantee that he won't hide in anyone's house." ”

"What?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What should I do?"

"Wouldn't it be dangerous if we were really hiding in someone's house, village chief, what should we do now?"

"What to do? Immediately, door-to-door searches, of course. ”

……

Everyone thought that since there was no one in the village, the thief should leave, but they didn't think about whether they would hide in someone's house. Dare to hide in the house in broad daylight, this little thief is too bold, right?

However, he dares to come out and steal things in the daytime, what else is there not to do? As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

For a while, everyone was a little nervous.

Of course, there are also people who don't think so?

"How is this possible. Now that the thief knew he had been discovered, would he still stay in the village? Unless he's sick with his head. ”

Fox Dayou glanced at the person who spoke, it was the old Li Tou in the village, in his fifties, he was an old bachelor, and he was lazy to eat and do things on weekdays.

"Anyway, everyone should be cautious."

Tang Daming agreed with Fox Dayou's words, I heard that the thief had killed a lot of people, and now that there are many people, he has to clean up well, if he finds out at night in someone's house, once the other party has bad intentions, it is a matter of life.

Thinking about it like this, Tang Daming's face turned pale and said solemnly: "Dayou's words are very right, for the safety of the big guys, according to the assignment just now, the four teams of people started to inspect from all sides of the village, and the women and children stayed here for the time being. ”

According to the instructions of the village chief, everyone began another round of inspections.

The searchers were divided into four teams, and Hu Dayou, Wang Changsheng, and Hu Yingdi and others started from the road of the fox family. Fox Yingtian's family is doing happy events today, people have been coming and going, the thief has no chance to hide in, so, eliminated the Fox Yingtian's family, Fox Dayou and others start from Fox Yingtian's house, every house in every house, including pigsty, chicken shed, cowshed, dead corner and other places where people may be hidden, all must be checked.

After inspecting the four brothers of the fox family, and then starting to the old lady Zhou's house, all the way over, every family is safe and sound, this result is naturally the best, because the houses on the periphery of the village they inspected, there are many small roads, bends, and alleys, and there are not many households, but the distance is the farthest of the four teams. By the time the other three teams finished searching, only the last family of the fox team remained.

At the end of this, there was also a little episode.

The last family is Lao Li Tou's family, when Hu Dayou and the others arrived, Lao Li Tou was already sitting on the threshold of his own hall and smoking a cigarette, and when he saw a group of people coming in, he didn't raise his eyelids, pursed the corners of his mouth, and began to drive people: "Don't look at it, my family is very safe." ”

It is naturally safe to sit in your own home.

Wang Changsheng couldn't help but glance at the fox friend on the side, and asked him with his eyes, whether he was still searching or not?

Fox Dayou looked at Lao Li Tou's house, there were only two dilapidated main houses, the yard was also very small, the fence was low and crooked, not to mention an adult man, even a ten-year-old child could tiptoe into the yard from the outside. There are very few things in the house, and there is a hoe, a sickle, and a broken canopy under the eaves. There was an old table and two benches in the hall.

Nothing else.

The place is small, there are few things, and it seems that you can see all the places clearly at a glance, but there are few main houses in Lao Li Tou's house, but there are a lot of sheds.

The kitchen is a shed, and all the pots and spoons are placed on the board, and no one can be hidden; The pigsty is also a shed, which is very dry, and it has not been a pig for a long time, and some firewood is piled up; The chicken shed was also built before, there were no chickens, only a thick layer of chicken feces on the ground that had dried hard, but there was nothing to hide.

However, there was also a cowshed at the back of the chicken shed, because there was no silver, the shed was erected, and the cattle were never bought. Next to the cowshed there was a broken shed with some straw and sundries.

These places are the most Tibetan!

Fox Dayou narrowed his eyes, looked at Lao Li, and suggested, "Let's take a look." ”

"What's there to see?" Lao Li raised his eyelids and glanced at the fox friend, and said disdainfully: "I can't be the master of my own home, do you want to this child?" ”

The people who came with him were a little embarrassed, and the fox friend was also kind, and Lao Li Tou's words were a little sad. (To be continued......)
