No.17 Don't be a thief

It didn't take long for the oil lamps opposite the Zhiqing Point to light up one after another.

Seven or eight men soon came to the Zhiqing Point, and Wang Mingyuan repeated the blind things again.

This time, he calmed down a lot.

A few people walked around the room and in front of and behind the house, but they didn't find anything.

"Maybe it's really been robbed." Zhang Shouyi said.

He is Zhang Shouzhong's eldest brother, and there is also a name named Zhang Shouli, who is the second in line. Among the Zhang family, the third brother is the most powerful, and they are all good hunters.

Zhang Shouzhong looked at Wang Mingyuan with a suspicious expression, and then looked at Han Xiaoling: "Really? ”

"I've been watching, not long after he returned to the house, even if he wanted to get some roast suckling pig, it was too late, but the pig was really gone!" Han Xiaoling said seriously.

What's the situation? This has been negotiated for a long time...... Spying on me?

No wonder Han Xiaoling didn't turn off the lights to sleep for so long.

Wang Mingyuan looked at Han Xiaoling, and then at Zhang Shouzhong, a little speechless.

"Third uncle, why are you so worried about me? I really listened to what you said, I made up my mind to raise this pig well, otherwise, you see so much toffee in the house, I am reluctant to eat it myself, and I will hold on to the pig first. ”

Wang Mingyuan hurriedly expressed his position.

Zhang Shouzhong looked at the candy wrappers in the room, nodded, turned to a few young men behind him and said, "It must have been robbed." There is only one big road out of the village, I took Xiao Wang to chase, and I don't rule out that I may hide in the mountains, but there are only a few small roads, and I definitely can't go far. ”

Several people quickly stood in line and dispatched one after another.

Wang Mingyuan followed behind Zhang Shouzhong, one foot deep and one shallow, stumbling and trotting, and it didn't take long for him to pant like a cow. secretly said in his heart: "I'm really asking for my own hardship, and telling lies is really hurting others and myself."

It only took more than half an hour to reach the Chenjiagou production team, and when he arrived at the Chenjiagou production team, Zhang Shouzhong saw that he had not found any traces, and he ran directly to the captain Chen Jinxue and called him up.

This is terrible, and the entire Chen Jiagou is also dispatched.

Good guys, dozens of people at once, either lighting torches or carrying lanterns, under the wave of Chen Jinxue's big hand, each carrying a stick, rushed everywhere.

It's also too united.

Wang Mingyuan secretly said in his heart: In these days, you can't be a thief in anything, whether it is stealing things or stealing people, if you really want to be caught, just in this battle, you have to peel your skin if you don't die.

It's like now, which one has been stolen, and the neighbors around the village can at most come to see the excitement and find some after-dinner conversations, which is simply a matter of business.

Wang Mingyuan was a little moved in his heart, but more guilty.

He lied and alarmed so many people in the middle of the night, which really shouldn't be: "If I develop in the future, I will never forget you!" ”

After tossing for several hours, seeing that the east was white, the people who were looking for it from all over the place returned one after another.

Needless to say, Wang Mingyuan also knew that there would be no result, this was a non-existent thing.

When things get to this point, they can only be stopped.

"There's no way, the pig thief may be a veteran, and he can only consider himself unlucky." Chen Jinxue patted Wang Mingyuan on the shoulder and comforted.

Wang Mingyuan nodded, still a little weak-hearted.

However, it was finally hidden.

But he saw Chen Jinxue call the militia captain Chen Jiawang over, and explained: "It's a thief, I'm afraid your militia team will have to organize people to strengthen patrols during this time, don't let other families in the village be troubled again, and it's not a trivial matter to lose two piglets." ”

Chen Jiaming nodded and settled the matter.

"Everyone go back and hurry up and rest, and this morning's work time will be delayed by two hours."

After Chen Jinxue explained the matter, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Wang Mingyuan also followed Zhang Shouzhong back to Zhangjiaao, and the few people who helped to find it were waiting there, all of them were tired, the night road in the mountains was not easy to walk, and a few people consumed a lot, but when they came back, they checked the hunting traps they set up in the mountains, but they got a rabbit, which was bought by Wang Mingyuan for four yuan.

He was a little reluctant to go.

There are too many people in Chenjiagou outside, and he can't afford to invite them, but Zhangjiaao should still say hello.

While Han Xiaoling was resting, he secretly took the weaning feed of the suckling pig and served the two piglets, and then began to wash rice and cook rice, and then peeled the rabbit.

The things brought over from 2023 are not too exposed, but it is still feasible to use a piece of hot pot base.

He cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, fried it in oil until golden brown, then put water, added the hot pot base, thought about it, poured all the remaining oil residue into it, and got some small green vegetables from Han Xiaoling's vegetable garden, and cooked a big pot well.

At noon, go door to door, and each family sends a shallow bowl as a thank you.

Wang Mingyuan didn't know that several families were eating the things he sent, and they scolded their mothers one by one: It's really fucking fragrant!

The meat and vegetables in it were eaten tightly by the children, and the rest of the soup was left for the evening and then re-boiled in a pot.

Even if Wang Mingyuan only added a piece of base material, the whole spice in it is definitely the top match in this year.

When he came back, Wang Mingyuan saw Han Xiaoling leaning at the door of his kitchen and looking inside, snorting incessantly, as if smelling more smells would make her feel extremely happy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Han Xiaoling hurriedly wiped a handful of saliva, returned to her kitchen with a gloomy face, and looked at the coarse corn rice and the blandly cooked vegetables with only a few oil beads floating, without the slightest appetite.

Until Wang Mingyuan came in recklessly with a bowl of rabbit meat and boiled vegetables, put it on the table, glared at her fiercely, and then turned around and left.

She could clearly perceive that Wang Mingyuan was a little annoyed with her, was it because of the reason for spying on him?

Annoyed, annoyed, why did you send meat and vegetables over again?

Han Xiaoling was a little inexplicable, but her attention was suddenly attracted by the oily and fragrant meat dishes on the table, and after swallowing her saliva, she stretched out her chopsticks and dipped some soup, put them in her mouth and sipped, and the whole person was stunned.

How can it be so delicious?

This is the longest meal she has eaten since she came to Zhangjiaao, and it is also the fullest meal.

Summary after the meal: Sooner or later, it will be woe.

In the afternoon, everyone went to work, but Wang Mingyuan still didn't go.

You can't keep your two piglets in a cage and throw them out.

But when you put it in the house, half a day's work can fill the whole room with a strange smell that makes him quite addicted.

I can't stand it!

Therefore, he went very seriously to cut some arm-thick wood and came back, drove piles in a circle in the open space ten meters away from the house, and found some stones around, and simply built a small circle around the stakes, which was not much bigger than the chicken pen, and put a few logs on it, and threw a piece of linoleum to cover the rain, pressed it with stones, and put some loose hair in it, which was considered complete.

This piglet is too small, and the pen is too big to keep warm, and besides, this is a grazing pig breed, and when they learn to forage, they can be released to be self-reliant. It is a good hand to feed on the tender grass outside and turn over the insects.

However, Wang Mingyuan has other plans for these two piglets.

It's just that he doesn't have that much energy to do this now, which can be regarded as a temporary emergency.

Like other fellow villagers, people and animals live in the same house, he really can't do it.

Now, he only thinks about exchanging the dresses of the really good ladies he brought with him for money, otherwise, the only four yuan and three cents left in his pocket, let alone doing other things, is not far from drinking the northwest wind.
