Chapter 36: The Brick Thief
Ye Hao didn't pay attention to the loss of the two green bricks, in her opinion, the left and right are just two bricks, and she can't delay the time to build a new house.
But for the villagers, they were angry and suspicious, and the women who came to help looked at the workers with suspicion from time to time.
They must have faith in their own people, but with the reward in the past, the women will inevitably wonder if it was yesterday that the workers could not ask for the reward, so that such a thing happened.
The workers also have words of suffering.
The first thing to suspect is that the main family lost the bricks, but they are indeed innocent.
Fortunately, Ye Hao didn't plan to delve into it, so she suppressed this matter.
The time of the day passed quickly, and after cleaning up the things in the yard, the sun on the horizon disappeared completely.
As soon as she walked into the house, Ye Hao saw Lin Bin sitting in the outhouse, bowing his head without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
At this point, they should have finished washing up and returned to their rooms.
Although Lin Bin recovered well, after all, there were many wounds on his body, and Ye Hao still let him rest as much as possible.
Lin Bin, who heard the voice, looked up at Ye Hao, and his face with hard lines was very calm.
"I heard that two bricks were stolen from the brick kiln?"
As soon as she heard the other party ask about this, Ye Hao smiled helplessly, this matter has spread throughout the village.
She waved her hand and said softly:
"It's okay, it's just two bricks, it's not worth a few dollars. Hurry up and wash up and rest, you see that the injuries on your body are not healed! ”
In the past few days, because he often comes out to walk around, Lin Bin did not wear himself naked and covered with bandages, but found an old robe of Xie Yunshu to wear.
Xie Yunshu is a few years older than Lin Bin, but the latter has been practicing martial arts all year round and has strong muscles, even if he is starved to death, his body is still quite burly.
So the robe was worn on him, and it was tightly fitted, but fortunately it didn't crumble.
It is the white strap around the neck, which is quite conspicuous against the light blue robe.
Lin Bin looked at her silently, then nodded, got up and went back to the back room.
"Aren't you really going to investigate the matter of stealing bricks?"
Ye Hao just turned around and sat down, and before she could take a breath, Xie Yunshu's voice came from behind her.
Xie Yunshu, who walked slowly to her side, also had an extremely calm face, but he was a little puzzled in his heart.
He knew about his family's background, and the loss of two green bricks would not affect him, but the security in the village had always been good, and this incident happened too strangely.
"We build a new house, there are many people, if I lose it, can I still dig three feet into the ground to find a message? It's too late to start construction, and there's no need for this. ”
Waving her hand angrily, Ye Hao couldn't figure out how these people were so persistent about such a trivial matter, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Seeing her indifferent, Xie Yunshu swallowed the words on his lips and had to go home.
At the door of the inner room, Lin Bin stood quietly by the door and heard the whole process clearly.
It seems to have passed like that.
At midnight, when Ye Hao was sleeping in a daze, she suddenly heard a noise in the room.
She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a gray figure walking towards the door in the dim candlelight.
"Who?!"
The strange sight made her sober up instantly, and she subconsciously opened the system panel, ready to exchange merit points for weapons at any time.
"It's me."
A quiet, familiar voice rang out, and the figure stopped, revealing its true face in the candlelight.
It turned out to be Lin Bin, and Ye Hao, who was taken aback, patted her chest and relaxed for a while.
Without waiting for her to ask more, the other party took the initiative to explain:
"I'll get up at night."
The other party's words were still so concise and to the point, Ye Hao waved her hand, turned over, and slept in the bed.
Heavy sleepiness swept over, and while she fell asleep, she complained in her heart: I still have to build a new house quickly! It's just so inconvenient!
Seeing her fall asleep, Lin Bin turned around and continued to walk towards the door.
At this moment, three or four gray figures were passing by their door, and their cautious appearance was not a good person at first glance.
Several people were wearing black clothes and were hunched up, especially when they passed by Ye Hao's bamboo house, they relaxed their movements.
When they reached the place where the bricks were stacked, they straightened up and wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads.
"Brother Tiger, you say that we bother to steal these green bricks, what's the use? It's better to steal some chickens and ducks for money! ”
Among the few people resting with their backs against the pile of green bricks, a man with a thinner figure opened his mouth dissatisfiedly.
This time the work was really thankless, the green bricks were heavy and far away from their home.
Just coming here had to walk for half an hour, not to mention carrying a few pounds of green bricks back, and last night's trip made his hands hurt for a long time during the day.
Sitting in the middle of several people, the most majestic man glared at him and said angrily:
"It's not because your kid has been stealing chickens and ducks recently, the people in our village are about to find out, so they can only get some other work to avoid the limelight first!"
After being spoken, the thin man immediately shrank his head and did not dare to say more.
And the leading man was still saying to the others:
"I just happened to get the news, this family is rich, and they don't care about these green bricks at all! Let's transport a few more pieces back, even if we resell them to people in other villages in the future, we can make some money! ”
Several people nodded one after another, looking like he was the only one.
After a short rest, the man stood up and prepared to call his brother to start transporting the bricks.
But as soon as he stood up, he saw a man in blue standing on top of the neatly stacked green bricks, looking at them coldly.
"Who are you?!"
suddenly encountered this scene in the middle of the night, even if the man often did some things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, he couldn't help but be startled.
Hearing his voice, several other people stood up one after another, looking at him in a panicked manner.
Lin Bin, who was standing on top of the green bricks, was still very indifferent, and he asked in a cold voice:
"You stole the bricks?"
As soon as these words came out, several people instantly understood that they were afraid that they would be caught on this trip.
The leading man reacted the fastest, he first recalled what the man who had revealed the news to him had said, this family, except for a woman and a child, there was only a cripple and a sick person.
That's why they dare to travel miles here to steal bricks.
Although he didn't know how the other party got up, he could see that the bandage exposed on the other party's neck was obviously the sick number in the person's mouth!
A sick seedling, where is the opponent of these brothers of his own?!
The man's heart was crossed, and he immediately said to a few people around him:
"Catch him!"
Anyway, today's matter has been revealed, and I want to seize the opportunity!
Several people listened to his words, hesitated for a while, and then went around Lin Bin.
These people are all uneducated country scoundrels, except for stealing chickens and dogs all day long, but they have never done too serious bad things.
Therefore, their movements seemed very jerky, at least in Lin Bin's eyes, it was full of flaws.
Who is Lin Bin? The son of the famous Zhenguo Gong!
He has lived in northern Xinjiang all the year round, and even if he has not been on a major battlefield, he has been honed in the military camp for many years.
Just these few little hooligans who can only rely on brute force, he didn't even make a move, just moved his feet, and several people lay on the ground screaming non-stop.
The man who was holding his chest and screaming in pain couldn't figure out why the leg kicked by the other party looked so weak that he couldn't help but feel the wind, why did his chest hurt like an iron rod and was about to crack?!
The screams of several people quickly attracted the attention of the others, and the first person to come out of the bamboo hut was Xie Yunshu, his face was extremely solemn.
And Ye Hao followed closely, and at this time, she was following the other party to the source of the sound with a confused face.
"This ...... This is? ”
Looking at the few strangers with hideous and painful expressions in front of her, Ye Hao was even more confused, and looked at Xie Yunshu as if asking for help.
Pursing his lips, Xie Yunshu glanced at Lin Bin, who had already stood back on the ground, and his heart moved, and he immediately figured out the truth of the matter.
It seems that the other party's martial arts are far above his own, so he will catch these brick thieves without realizing it.
"These should be thieves who stole bricks, I didn't expect them to dare to come again!"
Glancing coldly at the few people rolling on the ground, Xie Yunshu was not as kind-hearted as Ye Hao, and was ready to give up on this matter.
This explanation shocked Ye Hao, her gaze swayed between Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, and finally stopped on the latter.
"Cow!"
couldn't help but praise the other party, she glanced at the bandages on the other party's body again, and asked with some concern:
"Didn't pull the wound, did you? You haven't recovered yet, so be careful. ”
The sudden words of concern made Lin Bin look stunned, he pursed his lips slightly, and replied in a low voice:
"No problem."
Looking at the two singing and harmonizing, Xie Yunshu, who was standing on the side, had an even more ugly face, and said heavily:
"These people are really daring! Dare to steal bricks again and again! They must not be spared! ”
Just stole two bricks, wouldn't it look like murder and arson?
glanced at Xie Yunshu a little strangely, but Ye Hao didn't interrupt him.
She really didn't plan to delve into this matter before, mainly because she was afraid of delaying her work. But now that the other party has been caught by her own people, she will naturally not give up.
"But it's too late now, what are we going to do?"
Scratching her head a little depressed, Ye Hao set her eyes on Xie Yunshu and asked for his opinion.
Feeling being watched by her, Xie Yunshu unconsciously eased his emotions, and thought for a while before answering:
"Let's tie it up first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
This is the best way right now, Ye Hao nodded, and Lin Bin was noncommittal.
The kidnapping was done by Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, and several brick thieves were imprisoned by them in an abandoned small firewood house next to the bamboo house.
Because it has not been used for a long time, it is full of dust, and it can barely fit four people in.
In order to prevent them from escaping, Xie Yunshu also specially locked the door with rattan and tied a dead knot.
The whole thing, neither of them let Ye Hao interfere, she is a powerless female streamer, and she can't contact these thieves.
After locking up the people, Ye Hao was driven into the back room by the two of them and slept with Zhao Yi.
The remaining two slept in the outhouse, opened the door and looked at the two brick thieves.
Several people who were locked up in the firewood room had their hands and feet tied, and it took a long time for them to recover from the pain.
"I said we shouldn't come here! I didn't catch the money, and I was caught and beaten! Woowoo woo ......"
The thin man who had retreated from the previous complained that he was too painful and scared, and even cried on the spot regardless of his face.
Several other people were covered with paint, and even worse, the hands or legs that were kicked were a large green patch, and they looked like they were bruised.
The leading man was also sweating profusely in pain, gritting his teeth and saying:
"It's all to blame on that bunny!"
