After Zishou returned to the door in the third dynasty, he went back to the state to study, and the Yang family lived in Shouyuan alone, and the Shen family still bought a twelve-year-old little maid to give her, mainly because she was afraid that she would live alone, and it was good to have someone to talk to, and there were gradually more things at home, and the Shen family was a little too busy.

The corn on the side of Kangzhuang has not been finished, and the progress of the silt in the swamp is relatively slow, but a few soft-shelled turtles can always be caught every day, as well as yellow eels and loaches, Lin An once sent Ziqing an old eel with the thickness of a newborn baby's arm, with a golden belly, and it looks very old, and Ziqing sent it to He's tonic.

Lin Kangping wanted to go to the broken temple outside Anzhou City to find a few more people, preferably older, and the newly bought large piece of land required a lot of manpower even for daily weeding and loosening soil.

Who knew that before Lin Kangping went out, someone actually came to the door, four seventeen or eighteen-year-old young offspring, in rags, saying that there was no way to live at home, either his father and mother died of illness or he was abused, beaten and scolded by his stepmother and sold, in short, in the end, the four of them got together, and I heard that Kangzhuang specially took in homeless beggars, so I inquired all the way to find it.

Lin Kangping asked the other party some words, and I heard that it was reasonable, and Kangzhuang really needed people, even if there was anything bad, it would be the same when the time came, so he let these four people stay and follow the corn harvest.

Ten months after Shuyan was full, Ziqing was busy weaning the child, waking up several times at night, feeding the child water and goat's milk, until Ziqing was miserable, every day with two eyes like a giant panda, yawning all day long, it was easy to wait for the child to get used to it, and a month passed.

This year, Ziqing is twenty years old, commonly known as the double decade, Lin Kangping has long wanted to take Ziqing out to live for a few days to make up for sleep, no, wait for Ziqing's birthday to come. Putting down the child, the two went to the orange orchard alone, which was also considered a holiday for themselves.

The next day was Ziqing's first day. As soon as the two woke up, Lin Kangping touched Ziqing's face and asked softly, "I listened to you all day today, and I can do whatever you want?" ”

Ziqing nestled in Lin Kangping's arms and muttered: "I haven't slept enough, when I wake up, you will take me to the mountains." ”

Lin Kangping heard this. only responded with a "good", and hugged Ziqing tighter.

At this time, there was a slight but eager knock on the door outside, Ziqing didn't hear it, he was in a daze, Lin Kangping's martial arts practitioners were sensitive, but they knew that something had happened, and Lin An would definitely not be able to deal with it. will be in a hurry to find the door.

Lin Kangping carefully pulled out his arm, opened the door, and Lin An saw Lin Kangping. Busy said: "Master, something happened in Kangzhuang, there were a few bags of rice and flour in the grain warehouse, and the silver warehouse was also turned over, and some copper coins and broken silver were taken away." ”

"How did you find out? What about the dogs in the village? ”

"It should be a thief inside, the dog didn't bark, there should be a response outside the village, there are traces of an ox cart, and there is a bag of rice that should be scratched. I missed some down, if I hadn't seen it when I entered the gate of the village, I was afraid that I wouldn't have found it for a while. Following this rice, it should be in the direction of Anzhou, but unfortunately, it is only near Chen Village that there is no trace. ”

"You're silent, aren't you?"

"Nope. Master, as soon as I found out, I hurried into the village to see the loss, and after telling Shen Erye in the account room, I hurried over. ”

Lin Kangping pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any doubters?" ”

Lin An looked at Lin Kangping, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, when is it, and you are still spitting?"

"Master, the four people you received last time, I felt strange, there was no accident in our village for so long, as soon as they came, just over a month, there was this incident, and some people said that the four of them came to inquire about it, and they wanted to ask about everything. If it weren't for the rice harvest these days, there would be no one to do anything in the swamp, so I'm afraid it would have gone over there. ”

Lin Kangping paced a few steps, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, you let Laifu catch a few big soft-shelled turtles, put them in the pond with a net and raise them, and then let them go, saying that I bought them to supplement your grandmother's body, and a soft-shelled turtle costs more than two taels of silver, and it costs more than twenty taels of silver. The point is to let Bao Ye star, don't startle the snake, you can also find an excuse to quietly take Lin Fu and live in Kangzhuang. Catch it and report it to me immediately. ”

Lin An listened to the arrangement, and here, Lin Kangping went back to the room lightly, fortunately, Ziqing was still asleep.

In the evening, Lin Kangping meant to go back to Qingyuan, Ziqing was still a little surprised, and asked: "I wanted to go home to see Rui'er that year, you had to let me stay for one night, why did you want to go home today?" ”

Lin Kangping thought for a while and said, "It's up to you, stay for another night." ”

Lin Kangping's original intention was that he was afraid that something would happen in Kangzhuang tonight, and he couldn't leave Ziqing alone in this house without anyone to take care of him, but when he saw that Ziqing was unwilling to leave, he couldn't bear to brush Ziqing's mind, and he didn't want to tell the truth to block her on Ziqing's birthday, thinking that this thief might not be able to send the news out today, so he simply stayed and stayed with Ziqing for another night.

Lin Kangping's absent-mindedness was naturally felt by Yan Ziqing, and asked, "I was fine when I came yesterday, why did I have something on my mind today?" ”

When Lin Kangping was about to find some excuse, Lin An came to the door, and now, Lin Kangping couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so he had to tell Ziqing.

"Grandma, grandma, at dinner this afternoon, there was a man named Junko who pretended to have a stomachache and said that he was going out to get medicine, and he came back before dark. I think there should be movement tonight. ”

Lin Kangping said: "You let Bao Ye stare inside, you and Lin Fu took Lin Shan and Lin Yue to find a place to watch outside the village, caught someone and tied them up and threw them in the house, today is your grandmother's birthday, it is not appropriate to see blood." I will go over early tomorrow morning, and let everyone in the village come to see what will happen to those who betray me. ”

After Lin An went, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said, "Now you can sleep well, sleep enough, and think about how to punish them tomorrow." ”

"But shouldn't the theft be reported to the police?" Ziqing asked.

"Well, let's clean them up first, and then it's not too late to report to the official."

This time, Ziqing tossed and turned, this Kangzhuang has only been a few years, and it has attracted people's attention, but looking at the other party's posture, it is not like a thief who is very big, just a thief.

Lin Kangping saw that Ziqing was preoccupied, so he simply hugged Ziqing and tossed for most of the night, until Ziqing was so tired that he fell asleep, and he no longer had the energy to think about anything else.

Not to mention the night of Ziqing and Lin Kangping, just Lin An and Lin Fu, called Shen Baofu and Shen Xinfu to get together and discuss secretly, Shen Baofu listened to Lin An's words, slapped the table angrily, and scolded: "Damn, who ate leopard gall, actually dared to make ghosts under my nose, don't want to live?" Don't worry, I don't need to find someone else, I can clean up these thieves alone, otherwise, I am dignified Shen Baofu, Shen Erye, how can I get mixed up in the rivers and lakes when I say it? ”

"Second Master Shen is me, I came first, you change it, don't damage my reputation." Shen Xinfu kicked Shen Baofu and despised it.

"Then I'll change it, Second Master Bao, see how my Second Master Bao skinned these thieves alive tonight?" Shen Baofu raised his arm and said.

It's a pity that Ziqing didn't hear this, otherwise, she would definitely have to laugh. Shen Baofu, the second in line, this tall and vulgar Bao Er Ye and the Elder Bao who chant the wind and the moon all day long in the Grand View Garden are really incompatible.

Without further ado, Shen Baofu is already a martial arts practitioner, half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and he naturally has much higher enthusiasm for this kind of thing than asking him to sell soft-shelled turtles, so he immediately found a good place to hide it.

Lin An Lin Fu and others cats in the sesame field outside the village, the night in late September is still relatively cool, the most difficult thing is that there is the last autumn mosquito, a bite, a big bag will get up, itchy and uncomfortable.

"This damn ghost thief, if I catch him, I have to peel his skin well, and I have suffered all this, young master." Lin An and Lin Fu complained.

Shen Baofu was naturally not much better, and he also gritted his teeth, regretting that he didn't drag Shen Xinfu to a piece of trouble.

It wasn't until the moon hung in the sky that Lin An Linfu scolded N times that he heard the movement of the ox cart in the distance, it seems that this thief is still very greedy, and he will not only steal the soft-shelled turtle tonight, but also steal something else.

Lin An Lin Fu didn't move, Shen Baofu saw four figures coming out, and they didn't move, these four figures first went to the grain depot and transported a bag of things to the gate, and then, the two came to the pond, and the two entered the grain depot again, Shen Baofu followed them to the gate, closed inside and out, and grabbed a ready-made.

Lin An took down the ox cart and saw that it was actually two mao with five mao, Lin An was so annoyed in his heart, he kicked the two of them fiercely.

Over there, Shen Baofu directly unloaded the joints of the four people, took off the stinky socks of several of them and gagged them, threw the six people directly into the pigsty, and relied on the pigsty to be together.

Lin An rushed to the orange orchard when the sky was bright, but Lin Kangping was sleeping soundly with Ziqing in his arms, and Lin Kangping still trusted Lin An to do a good job of this little thing.

Lin An waited until the hour, Sister-in-law Li pulled him to breakfast, the sun came out, Lin Kangping slowly woke up, remembered this, dressed and came out to ask, and learned that the thief was actually a few cents, thought about it, and said: "Send someone to pick up the two aunts and wives, as well as the old man and the two sisters-in-law, and the grandma will wake up and I will go over." ”

Lin Kangping was not in a hurry, he pondered while washing, and waited for Ziqing to wake up naturally and freshen up, and then Lin Kangping told her about it carefully.

"It's really hard to say anything, I've been in prison for five years, and I still don't repent. Presumably Zishou had a grudge on the day he got married, thinking about taking revenge on us, what do you think about what to do with them? Ziqing asked. (To be continued.)
