Chapter Fifty-Eight: Caught by a Thief

"Okay, you wait, I'll give it to you", Cheng Yangyang turned around and went into the house, and when he came out, he carried a cloth bag in his hand.

She handed the bag to the woman, "Auntie, this is twenty catties of grain, you eat it for a few days, and then ask me if it is not enough."

The woman took the bag, her eyes immediately turned red, she wiped her tears, her mouth was full of words of thanks and regret, "Thank you Cheng girl, you are such a good person!"

"Alas, why don't you follow your family to farm the land, seeing that other people's families have received food, we regret it!"

"Auntie, don't be like this, let's plant together next year, it's okay", Cheng Yangyang doesn't know how many times she has said this, she has to say it once when she comes to someone.

As soon as the woman sent away, she saw Wang Dafei coming again.

"Brother Fei, you're here to borrow food too?" she joked.

Wang Dafei naturally didn't come to borrow grain, although he didn't get food, but he bought a lot of rough noodles with the money he earned before, which was enough for their family to eat until the New Year.

"No, I'm here to ask you, do you want to find a few people to watch the things that are being planted in the field now, and don't let people outside steal them."

Recently, the city has been closed down and porridge has been distributed, and people in other villages are worried that they will not be able to eat, so they have begun to grab wild vegetables or something, but how can there be so many wild vegetables for them to grab in winter?

So in order to prevent people from other villages from stealing what they grow in the field, he thought it would be better to find a few people to watch.

"Is it so serious?" Cheng Yangyang has never experienced a famine, she doesn't understand, is it really that serious?

"It's better to be careful", Wang Dafei persuaded her, "Besides, we are idle when we are idle, everything in this field is shared in the village, and everyone wants to help."

"Don't worry, girl, we don't want money", Wang Dafei was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained to her.

"Brother Da Fei, I didn't mean that", she wasn't worried about money, "Forget it, since Brother Da Fei, you think it's necessary, then find a few people to watch."

Cheng Yangyang was really glad that Wang Dafei reminded him in time, because the next day, they caught a thief in the rape flower field.

"Say, which village are you from!"

Wang Dafei held a flat burden in his hand, and rushed at the young man who came to steal things, if he dared to do any tricks, Wang Dafei's flat burden would hit him.

"Don't, don't hit me......" The young man was lightly dressed and shivered on his knees.

When Cheng Yangyang heard the news, she hurried from the back mountain, and saw that there were already many people on the ridge, so she squeezed through the crowd and went in.

"What's going on?"

"Cheng girl, look, I'm right, I'll catch someone who came to steal vegetables today!" Wang Dafei pointed at the thief, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

When the young man who stole the vegetables heard that the person who came was surnamed Cheng, he was so excited that he threw himself at Cheng Yangyang's feet and kowtowed to her, "Boss Cheng, save me, I still have younger brothers and sisters waiting for me to eat!"

Cheng Yangyang was frightened by him and took a step back, it was the first time she had heard the title of Boss Cheng.

"Please, I'm so hungry, please, please......"

"Eh, what, can you get up and talk first?" Cheng Yangyang really can't stand others kowtowing to her, for no reason.

"Get up!" Wang Dafei grabbed the young man's collar with one hand and lifted him up.

The young man was really thin, thinner than Wang Xiaoshan she saw for the first time, and he looked like a dish, and it seemed that he hadn't eaten well.

"Which village are you from? Is the harvest bad at home this year?" she asked first, if his family was really difficult, she was not unable to help, but if he was just here to steal things, then she was not welcome.

"I, I'm ......" the young man looked evasively, not wanting to say which village he belonged to.

"Don't say it yet!" the villagers around him threatened him with a flat pole in their hands.

The young man shrank in fright, closed his eyes and shouted, "I'm from Yanjia Village!"

"Okay, it turned out to be from Yanjia Village!" Hearing the young man say that he was from Yanjia Village, the people who had always had enmity with Yanjia Village became even more angry, and they were about to pull the young man to beat him.

"Don't, don't hit me...... Boss Cheng, save me ......"

"Brother Da Fei, wait a minute!" Cheng Yangyang stopped the people who were about to beat people and looked at the young man, "You know that our village and your village are incompatible, why do you still come to our village to steal things, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Boss Cheng, I don't want to either, but I really can't help it", the young man cried as he spoke, "Those things were done by the people in the village, I didn't do anything, I was picked up and taken to Yanjia Village."

Hearing that he was also picked up back to the village, Cheng Yangyang's heart suddenly softened, and his skinny appearance was very similar to when she first came.

"You said you were picked up, what is your name, and when were you picked up in Yanjia Village?"

Cheng Yangyang suddenly had an inexplicable premonition, she still couldn't figure out what that premonition was, but the young man in front of her seemed to be able to help her figure out what this premonition was.

"My name is Liu Dong, and I was picked up and taken to Yanjia Village three years ago."

He also ended up here because of the famine three years ago, "Brother Da Fei, let him go."

"Cheng girl, this ......"

"Let it go", Cheng Yangyang insisted, she squatted down and asked again, "You came here, do you know from Yanjia Village?"

"They don't know, I heard them say that you just sold grain not long ago, I, I just want to come and see ......" The more he talked, the more humble he became, he actually wanted to steal some food.

"Cheng girl, don't listen to his nonsense, he said that there are younger brothers and sisters at home, how could it be that he was picked up!" asked a villager.

Yes, Yanjia Village doesn't seem to be much better than Wangjia Village, how can they have the ability to pick up the little children of the family?

"No, it's not!" Liu Dong explained excitedly, for fear of being beaten again, "The younger brothers and sisters I mentioned were also picked up by Yanjia Village, and the three of us were left to live in a thatched house."

"My little sister is a female baby, and she has been bullied by the villagers, and now she is dying, I just want my sister to have a good meal", Liu Dong cried more and more when he thought that his sister was still waiting for him.

"You said that there was another girl picked up by Yanjia Village!" Cheng Yangyang seemed to think of something, she grabbed Liu Dong's arm excitedly and looked at him, "How old is that girl!"

She has been looking for news of her sister for so long, Shimen Town has inquired all over and over but there is no news, only Yanjia Village has not asked yet, will it be ......

Liu Dong was frightened by Cheng Yangyang's eagerness, and he replied stunned, "My sister is almost ten years old......

Ten years old! It's about the same as the person Cheng Yangyang is looking for!

"And did she tell you what her name was?"

Liu Dong Yaoyao, he really doesn't know this, "My sister doesn't like to talk, and the people in the village bully her, but she doesn't say anything."

"You take me to your house, go now!" Cheng Yangyang pulled Liu Dong and was about to leave.
