Chapter 10: Catching a Thief at Night

When I spoke, everyone around me panicked, especially those who had heard or experienced the strange incident of the Sun family three years ago, and they had to believe it.

Sun Bald hurriedly asked, "You saw it with your own eyes?" Where is it? How do you see that? ”

In order to prove my innocence, I can only tell the truth about stealing food and hitting ghosts.

After hearing what I said, the town elder actually burst out laughing.

The people around were stunned, and Sun Bald hurriedly asked, "Mayor Town, what are you laughing at?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't even look at him, and his body suddenly began to tremble and twitch, as if he had been twitched.

This sudden situation scared the big guy even more.

Without waiting for everyone to react, they listened to the old man and smiled: "I am a fox fairy in the mountains, I have practiced for thousands of years to go to the earth, and your town mayor's flesh immortal family borrowed ...... first."

When he said this, some of the people around him were frightened, and some of them retreated.

There are still a few older ones, kneeling on the ground and starting to kowtow, while kowtowing, someone shouted loudly: "Kowtow, the mayor of the town is attached by the immortal family!" ”

When everyone was panicking, Lao Fang suddenly stopped twitching, leaned forward and slapped his knees and laughed, which confused the big guys.

At this time, I heard the old man laugh and said: "Do you really believe it?" What age is it, don't be so superstitious? ”

As soon as they heard that Lao Fang was teasing the big guy, everyone was relieved and laughed.

Lao Fang's face suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "I, a person, never believe in any strange forces, when I worked in Linxian before, I did not debunk those liars who were dressed in feudal superstition!" ”

At this point, the old man pointed at me again, and then said: "I'm not stupid, I don't believe that these two children can steal more than ten bags of grain from the warehouse every day, and I don't believe that there are any ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, there are people behind the ghosts!" ”

As he spoke, Lao Fang glanced meaningfully at Sun Bald beside him, obviously suspicious.

Sun Bald's face changed, and he could only pretend to be deep and said: "Mayor Town, I'd rather believe it than believe it......"

Lao Fang said: "Don't talk about those useless ones, if there are really ghosts, okay, prove it to me!" ”

"This, how can this be proven, those ghost children are gone......" Sun Bald looked embarrassed.

The old man smiled again, looked at me and said, "Isn't this easy?" Does Curry throw food out every night? ”

Sun Bald nodded and said: "I lose it every night, I can't send someone to guard it, and sometimes there are not several bags of soaking and peeing food......"

"Isn't this over, I'm personally staring at the grain depot tonight, those 'ghost kids' will definitely come, if they don't come, it can only mean two things......"

"Where, which two?"

"Either the food was indeed stolen by these two children, or there are ghosts in the grain depot, and they don't dare to do it again when they know that something happened!"

After the old man finished speaking, he deliberately asked the big guy again: "Guys, which one is more likely?" ”

Everyone talked for a while, and their eyes couldn't help but sweep towards Sun Bald Zi frequently, and they were inevitably suspicious.

Sun Bald also saw at this time that the mayor of the town was clearly suspecting that he was a patrol guard and stealing from himself.

But for a while, he couldn't prove his innocence, so he could only answer: "Mayor Town, tonight I will bring this little beggar to accompany you to guard the grain depot, if he lies, I will kill him on the spot!" ”

Sun Bald glared at me viciously.

"Well, that's it!"

After speaking, the mayor signaled the crowd to disperse, and asked Sun Bald's people to let me go first, and sent someone to take me to the health center to bandage me quickly.

It is estimated that Sun Bald was afraid that I would be a thief, so he deliberately found two people to go to the health center to stare at me and my sister, but because of the official authority of the town mayor, how dare he be rude to us again.

Although I was beaten badly that night, but fortunately, all the injuries I suffered were skin injuries, and the child recovered quickly, and one day his kung fu was alive again.

The next night, the town elder sent someone to take me to the grain depot again, and did not let my sister follow, after all, she was not a witness to those ghost children, and this matter had nothing to do with her.

When I arrived at the grain depot, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the town elder Fang was sitting in the duty room for dinner, and the food on the table was very simple, a bowl of stewed potatoes, a plate of shredded pickles, four white masks, and half a basin of millet porridge.

Sun Bald stood beside him with a few grain depot staff, not daring to move as if he was being punished.

Seeing that I was brought in, Lao Fang first smiled and asked, "Child, didn't you eat?" ”

I shook my head, after all, at this time, it was not yet time for my sister and me to eat, and we had to wait for others to finish eating before asking for the rest.

"Come, eat a piece, don't be too bad!"

As he spoke, he motioned to his subordinates to bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked me to sit down and eat with him.

It can be seen that Lao Fang is a good leader, a decent person, and has a strong affinity.

During the meal, he always took the initiative to chat with me, talking about how to be a person, what is called being upright and not afraid of shadows, and from time to time when chatting, he glanced at Sun Bald Zi standing on the side, and saw Sun Bald's face full of embarrassment.

It can be seen that the mayor of the town has a lot of opinions about Sun Bald.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, it was almost time for me to steal grain the night before, and the old man looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, let's go!" ”

After Lao Fang finished speaking, he picked up the flashlight, took me and Sun Bald out of the grain depot, and walked again according to the route I had stolen the grain the night before.

When I entered the alley where I had taken a shortcut the night before, I said, "This is where I heard the woman talking, tell me not to go out, but to die." ”

The old man listened for a long time, and said with a smile: "That woman must know that I am not close to women, and I hate male thieves and female prostitutes the most, so I dare not come out!" ”

After saying that, the old man asked me to take them to the entrance of the alley where the ghosts were hit, and they shrank into the darkness in the corner of the wall like they did last night, and looked out without saying a word.

It was the same road outside, the same moonlight, and it was the same time soon, but the group of ghost children didn't show up last night.

The old man waited a little tired, yawned and said, "Child, you shouldn't have deliberately deceived us in order to get rid of the crime, right?" ”

Sun Bald hurriedly accosted: "Mayor Town, he must be lying, it was their sisters who stole it!" ”

"Shut up!"

I was a little old, and when the two were talking, a sound of footsteps faintly came from outside, and my scalp was numb in an instant, and I hurriedly said, "Don't make a sound, they are coming!" ”

The two of them shut up instantly, and looked out carefully with me......

Sure enough, the group of children in paper clothes and hats appeared at the end of the street again, also in groups of two, holding a bag of grain high, walking forward in a uniform pace......

"Mom, there's a ...... ghost"

For a while, Sun Bald's cold sweat came down, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Looking at the town elder again, he was obviously a little more flustered than before, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Don't worry, take a look again...... Look at ...... again."

Before the old man's voice fell, a female voice suddenly came from above us: "Look at something, look at them again and run away." ”
