I heard that the minister is now from the capital, I am afraid that it will come to us in the next few days, we really have hope now, sure enough, this is good news, everyone heard him say this, they all became very excited, my father said, the emperor lives in the capital far away, he can know that our village has suffered from floods, his news is really very well-informed, uncle is next to him and said with a smile, third, in fact, you really don't understand these things, the emperor has his own eyeliner in all places, no matter what happens, he will know, and we are now flooded in the county, these officials will definitely report to the imperial court as well.

The old man took over and said.

In the final analysis, it was the emperor who sympathized with these ordinary people, and everyone sighed.

It was already late at night, and the uncle and the others yawned and went back to their rooms to sleep, and the girl looked at the rest of the people in the room.

There are only the village elder, the grandfather's father and the fourth uncle.

I don't know why, everyone talked about the theft of thieves in the village, and the village chief was particularly angry, I really didn't expect that our village has always been very simple people.

Who would have thought that there would be such a morally corrupt person, the thief must be caught, so that the villagers can be given an explanation, all the people are also very angry, no matter what it is, everyone can bear it, but this kind of thing is absolutely unbearable, everyone sits there thinking of a way to catch the thief, and my father proposed that we must strengthen the patrol manpower.

The uncle suggested that all the doors and windows of the villagers' houses be sealed, so that the thieves could no longer enter.

Everyone has their own opinions, but each method has advantages and disadvantages, and it is not very easy to implement, so the village chief has long been a big head.

At this time, the girl said, everyone doesn't have to use their brains to think of a way now, in fact, it's very easy to want the thief to show up, everyone looked at him, girl, you hurry up and say, what is the best way?

The girl said, in fact, my method is similar to what the boy said, we can throw out the bait to let the thief take the bait, but the bait I said is definitely not to say who has how much money, in that case it is too obvious, if the thief has a little brain, he will also have a guard, let's say to the people in the village, Daddy found the traces left by the thief in the house of the person who lost something, and according to these things, Daddy now already knows who is the thief.

Because I think that everyone is a villager in the same village, and the relationship is usually very good.

So for the time being, I don't plan to expose him, so that I can save him a little face, give him a few days, and let him send all the stolen money back.

If he does not heed the advice, then the fall will expose him.

So that all of you will know who is doing this immoral thing, and after the news is spoken, all of you will be secretly watching the reactions of these people.

If it were normal, the thief would definitely be very weak-hearted, and when he heard these words, he would definitely have some abnormal behavior.

If you keep a good watch on these people, you will definitely be able to catch the thieves hiding in the crowd, what do you think of my method?

The girl finished talking about the way to catch the thief in one breath, and it was very organized, everyone looked at him in surprise, and then the village chief was the first to come back to his senses, clapped his hands and said, This method of yours is really good, why didn't we think of it?

The fourth uncle said proudly, I have already said, the girl's head is good, sure enough, as I expected, all the people laughed, the girl also smiled and said, I must tell you well, if this method really wants to work, you still need to work together to keep it secret, the fewer people who know, the better, I hope that these people in the house will be patient after they go back, even if it is their own family, they must never say it, lest one accidentally say it, then the whole plan has been ruined。

Everyone nodded, and the village chief said, don't worry, even if I won't tell him about your aunt, everyone is also a common statement, and everyone dispersed and returned to their own rooms.

The boy sent the girl back to his room to rest, the two of them sat and chatted under the corridor at the door, the boy said to the girl, you are really amazing, such an ingenious way can be thought of, why didn't I think of it?

The head said with a smile, Compared to you being able to lead troops to fight and charge into battle, I am just a little clever.

The young man was very ashamed and said, no matter what, in my eyes, you are the smartest person.

I just love to hear what you say, the girl said with a smile.

I'm going back to rest now, you should go back to your room and go to sleep, the next day the village chief and the others have already released the news, so everyone is suspicious of each other, who is that thief?

The crops in the fields have been destroyed, and all the poultry raised at home have drowned, and everyone is now idle and bored, and they stay in that open space every day, and if they have food, they will make something to eat, and if they have no food, they will wait for the girl's family to come and bring food.

There were many things to talk about, and everyone was talking about the thief and the fact that the imperial court had sent a minister to treat the flood here, and everyone was very interested, and it seemed that the sadness that the house had been destroyed because of the flood had faded.

The girl also came with her mother to deliver food this day, and in the lively place of everyone, he saw a very independent small tent, where there are a lot of people gathered to chat, but the small tent looks very deserted, who lives there?

The mother glanced at it and said, it was Childe's mother, the girl raised her eyebrows, it turned out that Childe's mother lived there, no wonder it seemed very lonely, there was no one to talk to him, and now it was time for everyone to eat, and all the people had gathered around here.

He said words of gratitude to his mother and aunt, and then took his food and happily returned to his tent.

But there was no sound in the woman's tent, and yesterday afternoon I came to bring them something to eat, and the childe's mother did not come out to get it, and I wanted to go over and see what was going on, but I had just walked to the side of the tent, and I heard him say inside that he would not let us in, so I had to turn back again.

The mother whispered to the girl, but the girl frowned, the woman was very withdrawn, and when she was in the village, she rarely interacted with others, even her own neighbors.

In broad daylight, the doors are tightly closed, especially since Childe left the town and went to the capital, he has become more and more unsociable.

I'd better go over and have a look.

As she spoke, the girl took a steamed bun and walked over to the small tent.

Sure enough, as his mother said, he had just come to the vicinity of the tent, and he heard the woman's voice coming from inside, none of you should come in, the voice was very indifferent, there was a kind of alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away, but there was a little weakness, the girl stopped, but then opened the curtain and walked in.

The woman who was in the tent was startled, turned her head to look here, and saw that it was a girl, her brows furrowed again, what are you doing here?

The girl did not answer his words, but looked inside the tent, except for a place on the ground for people to sleep, there was no extra space, and the things that the lady brought were also very different, not like the other people in the village, who brought some food from their own homes, or things of value, and all the things that the woman brought were only a small bamboo box, and the girl still had an impression of this box.

There was a small bag inside.

The schoolbag was full of books and paper, all of which were Childe's belongings, and he used to travel between villages and towns, and it was this small bamboo box that he carried.

And that schoolbag was once pulled off by the schoolbag brought by the crazy self before.

You better go out, I'm going to rest now.

Madame's voice sounded again, and the girl saw him again, this time the girl was not only angry at his impolite attitude, but on the contrary, she looked at Madame's eyes with a touch of admiration, not to mention other things, just to be a mother, this woman is indeed a very remarkable person.

After the flood came, you can leave anything behind, but the things that my son used and the articles written down by the desk, he is very careful to collect and keep them, this mother's love is very great, it is worthy of being respected by others, you have not eaten for many days, look at your eyes have sunken, so can you really sleep?

The girl asked him, and then came to the woman's side.

Hand him the steamed buns, and then you can go to sleep after eating these things, Madame was stunned, glanced at the girl, and then looked at the steamed buns in her hand, with a very complicated expression on her face, why are you?

The girl was stunned, he didn't understand what the woman meant by this question?

Madame frowned and whispered.

You know I don't like you very much, so why do you send me something to eat?

The girl laughed, I don't want to come to your cold ass with a hot face, it's just for the sake of everyone being a villager, if you really starve to death at this time, it will be bad for everyone, hearing that the woman here is so angry that her face turned red, even if I starve to death, I will never eat your things, don't talk about these useless things, hurry up and eat, the girl handed over the steamed bun again, if you are sick, you still need someone to serve you at that time.

When the time comes, will you be tossed by others at will?

He deliberately wanted to provoke the woman, and when he heard this, the woman really wavered, snatched the steamed bun in the girl's hand, and ate it there, staring at the girl while eating, she didn't need to be supported by others, he must live well, waiting for his son to come back, seeing that the woman ate all the steamed buns in one go, the girl laughed secretly, the son has a competitive and aggressive character in his bones, and he is very hypocritical, maybe it is the same as her mother.

The girl glanced at the woman again, picked up the bowl and turned around and walked out, the woman was still eating the steamed bun in a big gulp, looking at the falling curtain, his movements suddenly stopped.

And at this time, he realized that the girl's threatening words to himself just now seemed to be a trap, but he was really surrounded by him, obediently listened to him, ate steamed buns, the woman's expression was very complicated and looked at the door, feeling that he was becoming more and more unable to understand this girl, but in his heart he thought that this girl did not seem to be as bad as he originally thought.

In the evening, the girl accompanied her mother and the others to deliver some food to the villagers in the small temple.

In addition to removing some rice porridge, my mother baked some more cakes in order to improve the food for the villagers.

The people were eating porridge and cakes there.

Once again, he was grateful to the girl and the family, but the girl still did not see the woman come to get anything in the crowd, so he took another bowl of porridge and a piece of bread and went to the woman's tent, and this time when he came here, he did not hear the woman driving him away from the house.

When she entered the tent, she found the woman lying on her side.

With her face facing inward, as if she had fallen asleep, the girl called him softly, but there was no response.

The girl put down the things in her hand and came to the woman's side, "Auntie, are you asleep?"

He screamed again, and looked over her face, which was already red.
