Chapter Eighty-Seven: Catch the Thief
Today's weather is good, I closed the door early in the afternoon and went home, the uncle next door dropped a lot of fish, I have to give a few cute children, Xiang Jiuling is thinking about making a grilled fish today.
Fortunately, this yard is big enough, just in the yard to start grilling fish, Dabao and Erbao came to help light the fire, Qin Zhenzhen took Sanni to make the staple food in the back room.
Xiang Jiuling uses a modern method of grilling fish, brushing oil while turning and baking, bursts of fragrance came, so that the two children unconsciously swallowed saliva, eager to disassemble the fish into their stomachs now.
"Sister Xiang, what you made is too fragrant!"
As soon as Qin Zhenzhen cooked the rice, he smelled the fragrant smell of grilled fish, and couldn't help but praise it sincerely, Xiang Jiuling just smiled and didn't say anything, modern techniques and modern seasonings are of course incomparable to the technology here.
When Wen Xi came back, the family sat together to eat grilled fish, and before eating, Xiang Jiuling also deliberately emphasized that she should chew slowly so as not to be stuck by the fish bones, but where would the children take care of so much when they eat, she was worried for a while.
A meal of grilled fish was clean, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a pile of fish bones left.
After going through so many hardships along the way, the children all know that food is not easy to come by, and they will not waste or be picky eaters when eating, which is a good side for Xiang Jiuling.
After eating, everyone cleaned up quickly and took care of everything before going to rest.
It was supposed to be a quiet night as before, but Xiang Jiuling opened her eyes suddenly in the middle of the night, because she seemed to hear movement in the courtyard.
On weekdays, her sleep is already shallow, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Xi, who had already sat up, staring in the direction of the door with a serious face, and made a silent gesture to her.
The two glanced at each other, quietly got up and got out of bed, and just took two steps when they heard a "squeak" sound from the door.
Both of them could see at night, and soon saw a dagger in the crack in the doorway trying to open the latch from the outside.
Xiang Jiuling never thought that she would encounter a thief coming, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Wen Xi beside her had already stepped forward and pulled the latch that was about to fall off.
The people outside didn't know the situation inside, and they were still prying hard with daggers there, but the door still couldn't be opened after prying for a long time, and they couldn't help complaining to the people around them with some annoyance, "Hey, what's going on with the door of this house, why can't I open it even after I get it like this, it's really evil." ”
"It's that you didn't get it in the right place, why didn't you get it for a long time, don't wake people up later, you move quickly!"
"Oops, I don't know what's going on with this door today, I can't open it for half a day, I've seen it just now, it's okay, you can get it yourself!"
"Forget it, you can get it quickly, be quiet, don't wake people up!"
Listening to the conversation between the two outside the door, Xiang Jiuling smiled unconsciously, these two stupid thieves are really bad at stealing from anyone, they actually stole to their house, it seems that they can't recognize the way if they don't teach them a lesson today!
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw the dagger in the crack of the door stretch forward again, and pry the latch even harder.
Xiang Jiuling's eyes moved, and she quietly turned around and opened the back window to go out, and lightly walked behind the two thieves who were still carefully prying the door.
Looking at the backs of the two who were still concentrating on prying the door, Xiang Jiuling smiled coldly, and then took out a bag of powdery things from his sleeve, and sprinkled them on the two of them at random, and the powder fell on the two of them one after another.
The two of them didn't notice this small action at all, and they didn't realize that something was wrong until the powder on their bodies began to attack!
"Hey, do you feel a little uncomfortable on your body, like there are insects crawling, ouch, it's so itchy!"
"Don't say it, I also feel a little itchy on my body, what's the matter?"
The two of them quickly put down what they were on hand and began to tickle, the taste was really uncomfortable!
Seeing that the effect of the medicine had already taken effect, Xiang Jiuling, who was standing behind the two, showed a satisfied smile, "Why don't you two continue to pick the lock?" ”
The cold voice was a little weird in the quiet night, and the two of them were thieves, and they were nervous and raised their hearts to their throats, and they were stunned to hear this voice, and they only felt numb in their backs, and they were so scared that they almost peed their pants!
"Ahh A scream pierced the night sky, and the calm night was broken.
"What's going on?"
Not only the people in the courtyard on Xiang Jiuling's side were woken up, but even the neighbors heard the voice, lit the lamp, and began to scold the street for not sleeping in the middle of the night and making a lot of noise.
The two thieves didn't expect this stubble, they froze in place, or the itching on their bodies pulled back their senses, and they quietly tried to escape close to the gate while grabbing their backs in an awkward posture.
It's just that Xiang Jiuling is now at the door, and if they want to go out, they have to meet Xiang Jiuling, and seeing that Wen Xi and Qin Zhenzhen in the house have opened the door and walked out, they are becoming more and more anxious.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the confusion and nervousness in each other's eyes.
Now what?
The three children were also woken up, and poked their heads out of the house to look at the strange scene in the courtyard, and saw that the adults were silent and did not dare to speak.
As soon as she saw that the children were all coming out, Xiang Jiuling had no choice but to say, "These two people came to pick the lock in the middle of the night and were caught by your father and me, so I gave them some medicine!" ”
An understatement also made the two thieves suddenly realize, they said why can't they open the door, it turns out that someone inside held down the latch, and secretly drugged them, it's really despicable!
If Xiang Jiuling could know that these two thieves were actually scolding her for being despicable behind her back, it was estimated that she would be half angry, and the two thieves would dare to beak her, what kind of world!
As soon as they heard that a thief had broken in and stolen something and was caught, the neighbors who had been woken up and were ready to ask the teacher for their guilt all poked their heads into the courtyard and looked into the courtyard.
For thieves, basically everyone hates them, and they finally work hard to earn some money, and they have nothing to do with him quietly wiping them, who can stand it?
It's not just whoever moves first, picking up what in his hand throws at the thief, and the "bang" sound is particularly crisp.
Someone took the lead, and everyone instantly looked like they were the same enemy, and no matter what they had at hand, they threw it at the two of them, regardless of whether she could hit it or not, anyway, they dispersed the evil breath in their hearts first.
Seeing this, Xiang Jiuling hurriedly and quietly stood beside Wen Xi, she didn't want to be innocent.
"Damn, I said why a lot of things have disappeared in my house lately, these two must have done it!"
"Phew, if you don't learn well, kill them!"
