Chapter 22: The Man Who Stole Food
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry little girl, I'm so embarrassed, I'm in too much of a hurry."
This person gave Tao Wan his hand again and again, looking really anxious.
Seeing this, Yin Qingbai saw that he really didn't mean it, so he loosened the man's collar.
Everyone apologized, and if they were embarrassed, they would be unforgiving.
Seeing that Yin Qingbai didn't pursue it, the man immediately turned around and hurried away.
"He's really in a hurry," Yin Qingbai looked at Tao Wan, "Didn't you break it?" ”
Tao Wan looked at the man's back and was stunned, and Yin Qingbai was frightened.
Why is this still a circle?
"Tao Wan? Little intellectual! ”
"What's wrong?" Tao Wan came back to her senses and saw Yin Qingbai looking at her nervously.
Yin Qingbai said: "What are you looking at? ”
When asked, Tao Wan pursed her lips.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Bai, I don't think he's a good person, let's go ahead and have a look."
Tao Wan looked at Yin Qingbai nervously.
Yin Qingbai's expression also became serious: "What's wrong?" ”
Tao Wan didn't speak, she was thinking about how to fool the past, Yin Qingbai frowned and said, "I'll take a look, you go back and wait." ”
"I'll go with you!"
Tao Wan insisted.
Yin Qingbai looked at her for a while, and was defeated in Tao Wanyingying's gaze: "Okay." ”
Yin Qingbai didn't ask much, since Tao Wan spoke, it didn't take much for him to go and see, and the little intellectuals in the province always had a pimple in their hearts.
Tao Wan followed Yin Qingbai's side, nervous.
None of them.
In the previous life, 1,000 catties of wheat from Jiedao Village of the Shanwan Brigade were stolen overnight, and the thief was caught, but the thief may have an antisocial personality, and before the police came, they set a torch and burned all the stolen wheat.
After this thief was caught, he was escorted to parade through several villages of the Shanwan Brigade in the streets, and Tao Wan had an impression.
If his appearance is vague, then his clothes in a green shirt can be said to be exactly the same.
In her previous life, she heard some bits and pieces from the aunts in the village, this person was a cattle watcher in Jiedao Village, and at night he set up an ox cart and transported the public grain to a broken yard in the town where no one lived.
Tao Wan calculated, this person was in such a hurry, I was afraid that the matter would be revealed to burn the grain.
In the previous life, those public grains could cause a big disaster, Jiedao Village couldn't hand over the public grain, the village chief, the secretary, and the captain of their village were all taken away, and the captain in charge of the warehouse key was arrested and put in prison.
The most important thing is that the slogan of this year is collective first and then individual, more than 1,000 catties of grain were lost, and the people of Jiedao Village almost starved to death that year.
Tao Wan has tasted hunger, and it is uncomfortable.
Yin Qingbai took Tao Wan to follow the man, originally thought that Tao Wan was thinking too much, but the more he followed, the more remote he felt, and Yin Qingbai also felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't help but take a light step, for fear of disturbing the people in front of him.
But the man didn't seem to notice, he was in too much of a hurry, and he stumbled several times on the way.
Then I saw him go into a small courtyard.
This land was lived by some landlords back then, and after it was seized, it was not redistributed, and it has been abandoned here.
"He's in, Brother Bai."
Tao Wan also walked more and more, and felt that her guess was not wrong.
In the past, all the people living here were large families, and the courtyard walls were so high that even Yin Qingbai's size couldn't see inside.
"I'll go in and take a look, don't be afraid."
Yin Qingbai took Tao Wan to the alley outside another house: "I'm not coming to you, don't take the lead." ”
Serious people who would come to this kind of place must have something unscrupulous.
Although Yin Qingbai is usually a little out of tune with Tao Wan, he has a strong sense of justice, and he must take care of this kind of idle matter.
Tao Wan glanced at the muscles on Yin Qingbai's body, and knew that she was also a drag if she went like this.
I was nodding my head and saw smoke coming out of the yard.
"Brother Bai, he seems to be burning something!"
Tao Wan pointed to the courtyard, and Yin Qingbai turned around and saw the smoke in the sky: "Be careful, don't go over." ”
After instructing, Yin Qingbai immediately ran to the yard.
Tao Wangan waited for her to be on fire too, she didn't know the fire inside, Yin Qingbai was too dangerous alone.
Tao Wan regretted a little rashly followed, she ran in the direction of a lot of people, when she came, she remembered that there was an embroidery field, she used all her strength to run while shouting: "It's on fire, come to fight the fire!" It's on fire! ”
"Where is the fire?"
There are many female workers in the machine embroidery field, and not long after Tao Wan's shout fell, I saw more than a dozen female workers rushing out of the yard, and two male workers were particularly conspicuous.
They ranged from their teens to their thirties, and they all had threads on them.
"That!"
Tao Wan pointed out, and everyone saw the smoke.
"Hurry up!"
The old janitor had already taken out the water pipes in the factory, and everyone took buckets, filled them with water, and rushed them into the smoking yard.
Tao Wan didn't know who stuffed her with a tin bucket in her hand, and she was not ambiguous at all, and followed to fight the fire.
When she got to the courtyard, the bucket in her hand was almost scared off.
Yin Qingbai was covered in blood, and he held the man they had been following in his hand, the man was still on fire, and he held a knife in his right hand.
Tao Wan was dumbfounded, and poured the bucket in her hand on the man, and she saw that Yin Qingbai's hands were burned.
"Watering is useless, girl!"
A 30-year-old female worker took off her overalls and threw herself on the fire.
The machine embroidery factory has static electricity and is easy to catch fire, and this kind of female worker with fire extinguishing experience can extinguish the fire on the man's body in three or two clicks.
The source of the fire in the yard was only black smoke, and I don't know who shouted: "Ah, these bags are full of wheat?" ”
Hearing this, the man under Yin Qingbai's subordinates seemed to have touched something, and twisted it twice, almost making him break away.
Yin Qingbai said angrily: "Be honest! ”
"Brother Bai, are you okay?"
Tao Wan watched Yin Qingbai's arms and waist run blood, and the iron bucket without water in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
"It's fine."
Yin Qingbai turned his head and saw Tao Wan crying at him.
"What are you crying about, I'm fine."
Tao Wan's white shirt was stained, her little face was also blackened by smoke, and when her tears fell, she was pitiful, and Yin Qingbai's heart was broken.
The machine embroidery factory brought the rope, and two male workers came over to take the knife away and helped Yin Qingbai tie it up.
"What's going on with this man? It's all food, why do you have to burn it? ”
After calling the police, these people gathered around and asked Yin Qingbai about the cause.
"I don't know." Yin Qingbai covered the wound on his waist with his left hand, but his right arm was still trickling blood.
Seeing Tao Wan's two hands hanging in front of her, she smiled as if she wanted to help but couldn't do it: "I'm really fine, it doesn't hurt at all." ”
If he hadn't smiled so bared, Tao Wan would have believed it.
"I shouldn't have let you come in alone." As soon as Tao Wan spoke, tears fell again.
Yin Qingbai wanted to help others wipe their tears, but his hands were dirty, so he clenched his fists or put his hands down.
"If I don't come in, all the food will burn out. This man must have been stimulated by something, and when I came, he was adding fuel to the fire. I was holding him and pulling the straw outside. ”
Tao Wan noticed that Yin Qingbai's soles were burnt.
Yin Qingbai also smiled: "Fortunately, it rained this morning, and there was water on my shoes, otherwise it would have been on fire." ”
