Chapter 200: Catching a thief in the middle of the night
Chen Ping and Meng Shan stayed at home for two days and left, and they still had important things to do when they went back, so it was not good to keep them.
This time, Chen Ping took the initiative to bring Meng Shan back, which has made the family very happy, where can I get an inch?
Siqi and the others still went up the mountain to herd sheep and pick mulberry leaves as usual, but after she had doubts that day, she had been paying attention to her mulberry tree for the past few days.
After a few days of careful observation, she determined that something was indeed wrong.
She looks at one of the mulberry trees every day, and even if the mulberry leaves are slow, there is no possibility that they will decrease, right? The mulberry leaves, which were still thriving a few days ago, are gone today.
Sure enough, someone was secretly picking their mulberry leaves.
Siqi found out about this problem, of course, he wanted to tell his family, Lin Changyuan said angrily, "I just said why our mulberry trees are so slow to produce leaves, and I wondered if I wanted to water fertilizer, it turned out that someone was making trouble." ”
Siqi said, "Dad, since we found out, we have to catch that person, otherwise we will really make wedding dresses for others, and our family still raises silkworms, which is cheaper for others." ”
"Of course you have to catch it." Lin Changyuan was so angry, who was so shameless?
Let's just say, there are so many families in the village who raise silkworms, and the mulberry forest has been picked up, why haven't I seen many people go to the mountains to pick mulberry leaves, and the silkworms at home can't drink dew?
Lin Changfu said, "Third brother, let's go and guard at night, the thief is estimated to come every day." ”
Lin Changyuan nodded, "I'll go tonight, I won't believe it, he still wants to keep stealing?" ”
Zijun and a few of them came back from school, and today after school early, a few children made an appointment to go to the fish cage, and Tiankuo also came.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lin Changyuan say this, Zikang hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
Menghuan said, "Second brother, someone stole our mulberry leaves, and my father and third uncle will catch the thief at night." ”
When Zikang heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go at night too." ”
Zijun Zilong and Tiankuo also said that they were going, Lin Changyuan smiled, "How can you use so many people?" ”
Tiankuo said, "Third uncle, it's good if there are more people, what if one direction is blocked, and the thief runs in another direction?" ”
Zilong nodded, "That's right, there must be a lot of people, we hide quietly, at night, as long as you don't speak, no one will find out." ”
The matter was so decided, Siqi also wanted to follow, Lin Changyuan said that he wouldn't take her with him, "No, the black light is blind, what are you going to do?" What if you don't step on it and fall into the water? It's too dangerous. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu also hurriedly said, "Yes, Qi'er, your father is right, you better not go, just go to your father and them." ”
Siqi couldn't shout anymore that she was going, this was caring about her, and she couldn't be ignorant, so she had to nod, "Okay, I'm not going." ”
It's still early at this time, Zijun and they still have to go to the fish cage, Tiankuo whispered to Siqi before going out, "Siqi, don't worry, I will definitely help you catch the thief." ”
Siqi smiled and said, "Well, I believe in you. ”
Today's dinner was deliberately made early, and after eating, Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan took a few children to take a detour to the side of the weir pond, just for fear that the people in the village would see it.
Tiankuo also went quietly, he was alone, but he would not attract attention.
By this time it was getting dark, and the few of them had hid in one place, and the cat remained motionless in the field, for fear of alarming the thieves.
It's still very hard, it's the middle of summer at this time, and the mosquitoes are called more than one, and they don't dare to move when they hide, and everyone is bitten so that their skin is hot.
When it was completely dark, no one continued to walk around the village, and after waiting for another half an hour, I finally saw a figure approaching this side.
There are no people living around the weir pond, all of them are farmland, what are you doing in the fields at this time? It must have been stealing mulberry leaves.
Everyone saw it, holding their breath and staring at the man.
The man had just arrived, and another man came behind him, and then they put down the basket and began to throw mulberry leaves into it.
At this time, they are really unscrupulous, and no one will come out at night anyway.
Tiankuo was close, listening to them whispering, "Don't pick them on the side of the road, you will be found if you pick them all, you should be more symmetrical." ”
"Oh."
This voice is very familiar, he frowned, and instantly realized who it was.
Tiankuo was angry and annoyed, it turned out to be his uncle, Gu Zeshun, but he didn't expect that the person who stole the things was actually the same surname as himself.
There was another person he didn't hear clearly, but Gu Zeshun alone already made him very angry.
The two of them picked one side by one, and the person on the other side walked to Lin Changyuan's side, Lin Changyuan immediately jumped out and grabbed him, "I told you to steal, you are very fat, and I dare to steal my family's things." ”
Hearing the movement, Gu Zeshun was frightened, and was about to run away with the basket on his back.
Tiankuo saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately jumped out and grabbed him, "Come on, there's another one here." ”
Gu Zeshun found out that it was him, gritted his teeth and said, "If you let me go, do you want to harm your own family?" ”
Tiankuo said angrily, "I don't have a family with you, so I don't steal things, come here." ”
Zijun and a few of them were running this way, Gu Zeshun was struggling frantically, and Tiankuo couldn't hold it down at all.
Seeing that Zijun and they were about to come, Gu Zeshun was in a hurry, and with ten percent of his strength in his hand, he pushed Tiankuo violently.
Even if Tiankuo still practiced some kung fu, he was all beginners and young, where was Gu Zeshun's strong opponent?
So Gu Zeshun pushed it like this, and Tiankuo was directly pushed into the weir pond by him, and there was a plop, and the water splashed.
Coincidentally, there was a stone slab on the edge of the weir pond, and Tiankuo's head was knocked on it.
Gu Zeshun wanted to run, but Zijun and the others had already come over, one person together, one person stopped him, and he couldn't run at all.
At this time, everyone saw his face, and it was useless to deny it, Zijun said, "Uncle Gu, it turned out to be you, and you came to be a thief." ”
Gu Zeshun naturally didn't admit it, and shouted, "Who is a thief?" Don't talk nonsense, what did I steal from me? ”
Zilong pointed to his back basket and said, "You stole our mulberry leaves." ”
Gu Zeshun was also panicked, why was he discovered? That's the end of it.
He was in a hurry, and he couldn't even speak, "What's the matter, can't I pass by here to pick mulberry leaves?" ”
Zijun said, "This is my mulberry tree, have you asked our family to pick it, you can pick it, if you don't ask yourself, you steal, hmph, Grandpa Gu actually raised a thief." ”
Zikang was pulling Tiankuo ashore, and when he pulled it up, he saw that Tiankuo's forehead was bleeding, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, call Dad, they come over, Tiankuo kowtowed." ”
