Chapter 279: Catch the Thief
It only took two and a half days for the enthusiastic workers to harvest all the medicinal herbs.
Because of the site problem, all the medicinal materials are dried in situ, only waiting for the sun to dry and put into storage.
The fields were filled with the smell of medicine, and at night, Mu Jiu also sent people to patrol the paths, just in case.
The autumn breeze is blowing, the moonlight is cold, and the night in the mountain village is quiet.
A team of horses slowly passed through Wanbao Town and drove into the main road in the direction of Mujia Village.
A few dark shadows quietly came out of the village and headed into the field.
Through the faint moonlight, it can be clearly seen that these people are Aunt Mu Shishi's family and Lin Laohua's family, each of them holding a flat pole and some hemp rope in their hands.
"Old flower, after tonight, we will become rich people!" Aunt Mu Shishi's excitement was when she thought about it.
"When the time comes, I will be like you, buy myself a few maids and come back to enjoy the blessings!"
Everyone is similar to Aunt Mu Shishi, and they are very much looking forward to them becoming rich.
Red Dog thought to himself: When you have money, you will go to the disease, cure the problem that that thing doesn't work, marry a few if you want, give birth to more than a dozen sons, and let their family Ding prosperous, as for Lin Yueya, who refuses to let go and marry him, she will be a little slave for the rest of her life, and if she can't do it, she will be kicked out.
Lin Laohua's man was very weak, "Be quiet, don't be heard!" ”
As a result, Lin Laohua slapped the back of his head, "You're cowardly!" Starve the cowardly, support the bold, if you don't have the guts, don't blame the old lady for not wanting you after she has money! ”
Lin Laohua didn't dare to speak anymore, hunched his body, and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.
The group touched the ground, tied up the dried anchovies with hemp rope, put them on with a flat pole, and carried them to the edge of the village exit.
The first load of herbs was successfully picked out, and several people became bolder.
Lin Laohua said, "Anyway, the moon is not very bright, and they only patrol the road, and they can't see us if they don't go into the field, let's be bolder, move faster, and after finishing this ticket, we will be developed!" ”
"I'm for it!"
A few people sped up and rushed forward, and picked up another load of medicinal herbs to the exit of the village, Lin Laohua was proud again, "I'm right, they don't know anything at all!" ”
A few people were here, and no one noticed that a small black shadow was heading towards the medicine field, holding a fire fold in his hand.
The weather is dry and dry, and if you accidentally go off the fire, all the medicinal herbs and the rice that is about to ripen in the field will be destroyed.
But the black shadow didn't seem to care at all, and the fire fold slipped a few times, blowing out an open flame.
"Mu Jiu, I see how you want to explain to the people in the village, there are no medicinal materials, I see what you use to maintain your face, see if you dare to bully me in the future!"
The black shadow muttered for a long time before sneering and placing the fire fold on the medicinal herb that had already dried up.
The herbs were ignited by the fire fold, and in a short time, the flames sprang out more than a meter high and spread.
"Hahaha, wake up tomorrow morning, you'll have nothing!" Lin Mansheng looked like an eight-year-old child, the firelight reflected the resentment in his eyes, picked up the fire fold, and prepared to light another fire.
But at this moment, a pack of wolves descended from the sky and extinguished the fire that had been lit with great difficulty.
Knocking him down again, the sharp teeth bit through his neck, and surprisingly, he didn't die, but could still watch a male wolf step on his arrow, his teeth were full of teeth, and his dark green eyes were locked on him, and the blood kept gushing out.
Lin Mansheng fainted in fright.
A group of wolves dragged Lin Mansheng away, which meant to add dinner tonight.
…
Lin Laohua and Aunt Mu Shishi picked three loads of anchovy grass in a row, and finally saw the carriage coming from the direction of Wanbao Town, and they were so happy that they waved straight to the black-clothed man in the carriage.
"Is that you? Are you responsible for giving us the silver, the medicinal materials are here, we only picked three, if you want more, you have to give money first! Lin Laohua picked three loads, and each time it went well, she became bolder, and she actually stretched out her hand to the man in black.
The men in black wore hoods, but their impatience was evident in their mere eyes.
But Lin Laohua didn't have any self-knowledge at all, so he continued, "You give me money!" If you don't give you the money, I'll sue you and let the yamen arrest you!" ”
"Hehe......" the man in black chuckled, full of contempt, "Do you want me to send you to the yamen?" ”
Lin Laohua was trembling when the man in black saw her calves, and she didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
The man in black spoke again, "Fill the carriage for me, and find which ones are less planted!" ”
Those who plant less must have fewer seeds, and those who have fewer seeds are scarce.
Lin Laohua was reluctant, "You have to give me the silver first." ”
The man in black wanted to have a seizure and slapped Lin Laohua to death, but he endured it, and they had to rely on these people to pick out the medicinal herbs.
So, he threw a piece of broken silver and fell on the ground in front of Lin Laohua.
Lin Laohua didn't understand what it meant, and happily bent down to pick it up, "Thank you, hero!" ”
At this time, a group of wolves jumped out of nowhere, threw the men in black to the ground, their teeth against their necks, and the sharp pain struck, the men in black closed their eyes in resignation, bit the venom hidden in the teeth, and committed suicide.
It happened too suddenly, no matter how fierce Aunt Mu Shi was, she had never touched the dead, and she still died in front of them in the way of a normal death, so scared that she almost peed her pants, and even the strength to escape was unloaded by something, and she couldn't pick up the strength.
When Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng arrived with people, they only saw a few corpses and a few carriages, and the two families of Lin Laohua and Mu Shishian began to retreat.
Under the moonlight, Mu Jiu's face was darker than the surrounding night several times, and people stopped Aunt Mu Shishi and the others, and said with a smile, "Good evening, you guys!" ”
Aunt Mu Shishi's calves trembled, "Mu Jiu, listen to me, she picked me up." ”
Lin Laohua jumped up and let out a pig cry, "What are you talking about, it's clear that you pulled me into the gang, Mu Jiu, it's her, she's the leader, I just followed her!" ”
Mu Jiu has seen a lot of this, if there is a benefit, she is a sister, and if there is no benefit, she will eat a dog, and waved her hand indifferently, "Escort them down, go to Lizheng's house, beat gongs and drums, and call everyone up!" ”
Wouldn't everyone know about her stealing herbs? Aunt Mu Shishi wailed and hurriedly stopped, "There's no need to do it, it's not good to disturb other people's sleep, after all, you still have to work tomorrow." ”
"Why don't you use it, get up and go to the field to see if the medicinal herbs they dried have been stolen." Mu Jiu took the lead in walking towards the village.
Lin Laohua immediately shouted, "How is it possible, I picked out all your medicinal herbs, and I didn't move any of them!" ”
Aunt Mu Shiyi glared at Lin Laohua like a pig teammate, and closed her eyes in despair, "Mu Jiu, you let me go, I'll tell you a secret." ”
"It depends on whether your secret is worth anything." Mu Jiu didn't refuse, she wanted to see what else Aunt Mu Fourteen could play.
"It's hard to say now, I'll talk to you alone later." Aunt Mu Shishi also played mysterious.
"Oh, then I'll wait until I've gathered the whole village, and then I'll listen to you?" Mu Jiu didn't give Aunt Mu Fourteen a chance to play smart.
As soon as she heard that she was going to be anxious about the people in the village, Aunt Mu Shishi was suddenly stunned, "I said, I said, among the black-clothed people who came into contact with me, there are no such dead people. ”
Mu Jiu: "......"
It's a secret!
"Are you playing with me?" The fire is condensing one by one.
"But I don't say it, you never know, they still have accomplices!" Aunt Mu Shishien said it as a matter of course.
Mu Jiu just hehe, handed over Aunt Mu Fourteen to his subordinates to guard, and she went to Li Zheng's house in person and invited Li Zheng out of the bed overnight.
Not only Lizheng, but all the villagers were invited out and gathered in the small lawn next to the river port.
Dew drops in the middle of the night, coming out of the warm quilt, a little bit of getting up.
"What is this for, three shifts in the middle of the night, and let people not sleep!"
"Even if you have money, you can't do that!"
"It's getting more and more unpleasant, I really think it's great to have two stinky money!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Jiu'er is not that kind of person, let's see what's going on first!"
"I also believe that Jiu'er is not such a person who disturbs other people's sleep at will, there must be something wrong!"
"I think so too, Jiu'er is a good person!"
The two sides fought for red-facedness, and the drowsiness had long been dispelled.
When everyone was almost there, Mu Jiu Shi Shiran arrived with his subordinates.
The crowd that was originally boiling suddenly quieted down after Mu Jiu came, and began to automatically vacate a little space for Mu Jiu to come to them.
Mu Jiu asked his subordinates to carry the body up, throw it on the ground, and then let people escort Mu Honggouzi and Aunt Mu Shishiwei and others up.
The cold eyes scanned the crowd for a week, and then slowly explained, "These people came in three carriages and waited on the road at the entrance of the village, if I hadn't found it in time, it is estimated that all my medicinal herbs would have disappeared when I got up tomorrow morning!" ”
After a pause, Mu Jiu said again, "No, it's all the Mu family's villages, and my medicine field is next to all of you, if I catch fire, none of you can leave!" This year's hard work will be in vain!
However, Lin Mansheng set fire to my medicine field, if my people hadn't put it out in time, it is estimated that everyone's crops and medicinal materials would have turned into a sea of fire by this time!
Now that I've brought everyone, I'll leave it to you what to do! ”
Aunt Mu Shishi's eyes were split, she stared at Mu deadly, and was about to say something, when someone picked up a stone and smashed it, right on her head, grinning in pain, and swallowed everything she wanted to say.
Not only her, but Lin Laohua and others were attacked by the villagers, and after a while, several people were smashed out of their faces.
The emotions of the people in the village came up quickly, and someone took the lead in shouting, "Let them get out of our Mujia Village!" ”
Someone immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, drive this kind of person out of our Mujia Village, we don't need such people who eat inside and outside!" ”
