Chapter 4: Catching the Thief
Only then did they get out of the way, Ding Fei hurriedly started the truck, and took me back to the factory, I even fastened my seat belt on the road, and kept thinking about the terrifying scene just now, so that Ding Fei stopped the car and got out of the car I was still in a daze.
"Get off the car Xiaoluo, what a daze!"
Ding Fei opened the door on my side and slapped me, I was scared, then I reacted, quickly unbuckled the seat belt and got out of the car, and after saying hello to Uncle Liu, the two of us went back to the dormitory, after a simple wash, we went to bed to rest, probably because of excessive fatigue today, I fell asleep quickly, accompanied by the sound of Ding Fei playing games on it, I yawned and fell asleep.
I didn't have nightmares that night, I was still in good spirits when I got up in the morning, and as soon as the sound of the truck outside, the two of us quickly got up and cleaned up.
"Xiaoluo, you kid fell asleep quite quickly last night, and he got up in less than half an hour with a snoring sound, looking at you like that, I thought you must be scared and couldn't sleep." Ding Fei said while wiping his face with a towel.
I spit out the toothpaste foam in my mouth, rinsed my mouth again, and said, "What, am I scared, I haven't seen it before, but this thing is really evil, it's better not to see it in the future." β
"You think that you can see this thing if you want to see it, then the world will not be chaotic, as long as people are in line with the idea that the dead are great, this kind of thing will not happen at all, hey, less wordy, you do more work today!"
I wiped my face and said, "Why?" β
Ding Fei handed me a big white eye and said, "Look at your strength, you are really too weak, how can you be my little brother when you go out to mix in the future!" β
I flew up and kicked at Ding Fei, Ding Fei hurriedly flashed to the side, opened the dormitory door and ran out, I put down the towel and put on the dirty clothes and followed, the big truck had stopped at the door of the warehouse, Ding Fei jumped into the carriage first, let me pick up the goods below, I didn't bother to worry about him, throw off my arms and work.
Our life is so boring, repeating the same things every day, and there is no fixed holiday, so we continued to work for two days, the third day was the weekend, and the evening overtime was nine o'clock, according to the usual practice, I should call my mother to report safety, due to the special situation at home, I usually come out when I call, and today is the same, I found a corner in the whole big factory and dialed my mother's phone.
"Hey, Mom!"
"Xiaoluo, how are you this week, when will you come back, your grandma will not be at home next week."
My heart moved, I really haven't seen my grandmother go out in 20 years, every day she sits in the house or walks out of the door, and even the next village is far away for her, I asked, "Why did she remember to go out?" β
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little lowered, "I don't know where I heard it, there is a group of people who organized to go to some temple, you also know, your grandmother is so superstitious about individuals, she will definitely not let go of this opportunity, it seems that she is going to go out for three or four days, will you not come back?" β
Grandma really didn't disappoint me, after so many years, she is still the same, I can't complain, I can't complain, "Don't go back, I've been too busy with work recently, I'll go back when I earn more money and mix it decently!" β
My mother seemed a little disappointed and said, "Well, then you tell me where you work, I really don't want to go and see you." β
"Oh Mom, I'm not good, what can I do, can I call you if I have something, I'm not..."
I was just halfway through my sentence when I suddenly saw a black shadow flashing over the warehouse, because it was far away from Uncle Liu's house, Uncle Liu would definitely not be able to find it.
"Who could it be, could it be that a thief is coming, stealing something so late?" I thought to myself, forgetting that I was still on the phone.
"Xiaoluo, why don't you speak, is there something?" Mom's voice continued on the phone.
I hurriedly whispered to my mother that it was okay, and I would talk again when I was free, and then I hung up the phone and quickly came to the door of the dormitory, I picked up a stick, did not call Ding Fei, and quietly followed alone, the black shadow stood on a wall outside the warehouse with his back to me, I held my breath and slowly approached, and my heart was in my throat.
Ten steps, nine steps, eight steps...
I clenched the stick in my right hand, and when there was still about eight steps away, the black shadow seemed to have found me, and suddenly ran towards the front, I quickly followed and chased up, the black shadow turned a corner and ran out from the side of Uncle Liu's house, and when I chased to the door, I couldn't see the shadow at all, I was annoyed, and looked inside Uncle Liu's house, and saw that Uncle Liu was napping, and I had no choice but to give up.
When I returned to the dormitory, I told Ding Fei what had just happened, Ding Fei was very calm, and said, "Just check if you have lost anything during the day tomorrow, there is no monitoring in this broken place, if you don't lose anything, we don't have to care." β
As soon as I thought about it, it made sense and didn't think about it again, and the next day we had free time to load and unload the goods and looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, so I didn't care anymore, but I always thought that yesterday was indeed a thief, but I didn't understand why I would be found when I approached from behind, could it be that the sound of my walking was exposed.
In the evening, I didn't discuss with Ding Fei, and went out of the dormitory in the name of going to the toilet, still leaning against yesterday's wall to watch, thinking that this thief didn't go empty, since he couldn't steal anything yesterday, he might come over today.
We belong to the north, the night in November is still quite cold, I wore a thick coat in the dark and watched, a gust of wind blew a layer of goosebumps on my body, stood for half an hour did not see anyone come, thinking that this thief may have been scared by me yesterday and did not dare to come, tonight is a vain wait.
Just about to go back to the dormitory, I stared, saw a black shadow flashed from the same position yesterday, I did not hesitate this time, carrying a stick and chased up, the black shadow was still hiding in yesterday's position, I rushed over with a meteor, the black shadow was still seven or eight steps away from me when it ran away, because of the experience of the last time, I ran directly towards the gate to stop him, but this black shadow is the same as a track and field athlete, running is a fast, I am still a step too late to catch up.
I gasped for breath, seeing that Uncle Liu slept directly in the house this time, thinking that if I became the boss in the future, I would have to find a security guard who would not sleep at night, otherwise I would lose no one.
Back in the dormitory, I told Ding Fei again, Ding Fei was not calm this time, and said, "What kind of thief is so bold, he was discovered by you yesterday and dares to come today, but then again, you are really a waste, you can't catch it." β
My mind was full of black lines, and I said, "If you have the ability, you will go tomorrow, if you catch me, I will recognize you as a big brother!" β
"What you said, don't admit it when the time comes!"
The two of us discussed it, and we will act together tomorrow night to see if we can catch this thief, and I will be responsible for going over to chase the thief first, although Ding Fei's strength is greater than mine, but he can't catch up with me in terms of running speed, so tomorrow night he will ambush at the door in advance, and he will intercept the thief when he escapes.
Just clapped his hands and decided, both of us wanted to make a contribution quietly, if it was reported to the people above, it would not show the ability of the two of us.
The next day, Ding Fei and I worked as usual, checked the warehouse and still didn't lose anything, so I didn't mention it to anyone, and when it was time to get off work in the evening, the two of us had a full meal, because it was colder at night, and eating more food was enough calories, and when we were full, we went back to the dormitory to rest, according to the experience of the previous two nights, this thief only started to act after nine o'clock in the evening.
At eight fifty, the two of us put on relatively comfortable clothes, each carried a stick out of the dormitory, Ding Fei went to the door to find a place to ambush, I am still an old place, due to the distance, I can't see the situation on Ding Fei's side at all.
As time passed, I slowly became nervous, silently thinking that this time I must succeed, if the two of them can't catch a thief, it will be a loss, the cold wind blows in gusts, I reduce the sound of breathing to a minimum, staring intently at the wall on the other side of the warehouse.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from front of my eyes and appeared on the edge of the warehouse, although this time I added twelve points of seriousness, I didn't see where the black shadow ran from, but now is not the time to think about this, I rushed directly with a stick, while running in my heart while thinking about the bold thief, he actually came to provoke me five times, see that I caught you today You must beat me first.
However, this time when I was still more than ten meters away from the black shadow, the black shadow moved, and rushed directly to the door, I hurriedly chased after it, and laughed secretly in my heart This little thief obviously didn't know that there was a plague god in front of him, at this time, Ding Fei rushed out of the door, blocked the door with a smug face, and the stick in his right hand was also raised.
The thief didn't seem to see Ding Fei, he didn't change his direction, and rushed over at a faster speed, which was indeed unexpected by the two of us.
Just when the thief arrived at the door, Ding Fei directly smashed his leg with a stick, but the thief's body was much more agile than Ding Fei imagined, and he actually dodged out of the side for half a meter away, Ding Fei's stick just smashed the back of his thigh from behind, maybe Ding Fei used too much force, the thief was beaten forward, and then limped out.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and chase!"
I ran over and pulled Ding Fei, both of us carried a stick and chased up, the thief's speed was obviously not as good as before, but still ran fast, I chased him hard, our factory is at the edge of the city, there was no one at night, the thief was looking for a small road to escape, I chased after and soon went out of the city, there were no street lights in the suburbs at all, I chased forward by the moonlight, the distance was getting closer and closer.
Just as I was reaching for him, he suddenly flashed into the woods, and my stubbornness came up, and I shouted and chased after him, and at last the thief slowed down a little more, and I threw myself forward, and struck him in the back with a hard stick.
However, a strange thing happened, my stick on his back was like hitting a balloon, and he directly smashed out a stick and fell down, and the thief fell to the ground as if he was deflated, I gasped for breath, and then the moonlight took a closer look and gasped directly, where is this thief, it is clearly a papier-mΓ’chΓ© person.
