Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

It is said that when you are full and warm, you will think about lust, and when you are hungry and cold, you will have the desire to steal.

In the 1980s and 1990s, there were still many people in rural areas who did not even have enough to eat. Some people who are short of land and food, or who are lazy and lazy, do not have enough to eat, so they engage in theft.

At that time, every household did not have much money, so most of the things they stole were other people's bacon, grain, clothes and other daily necessities.

There are also those who specialize in stealing cattle and sheep, and then take them to other towns or cities to sell them.

There are also people who steal trees. Usually when people in the neighboring village want to build a house, or make furniture, coffins, etc., they need larger wood, and they don’t have it on their own mountain, so they go to a distant place to cut it at night.

Of course, there are also people who secretly cut down trees on other people’s mountains to use as firewood.

There is no other reason. There is not enough firewood on one's own mountain, or one is reluctant to cut it, and is saving it so that the firewood on one's own mountain can grow.

In those days, rural people competed on whose crops grew better in their fields and whose trees on the mountains were bigger and richer in firewood.

This is also a kind of comparison.

No matter in which era, comparison and vanity are common phenomena.

Even in an era of poverty and poverty, it still existed.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although Shen Qiansan came from the countryside, he was originally familiar with theft in the countryside. But he is a reborn person. He lived for more than ninety years in his previous life, became the richest man with a net worth of trillions, and lived a prosperous life.

Decades of a prosperous life are too long.

He almost forgot that bandits existed in this era.

Suddenly encountering this situation, he was really helpless for a while.

But as the memory opens up, it becomes clear in my heart.

Looking at the middle-aged man approaching step by step, holding the sickle tightly, Shen Qiansan said: "I am from Qingwa City, why do I steal your trees!"

"What?" The middle-aged man snorted, "Don't people in the city steal trees?"

"You city people are very aristocratic, and you don't like to burn miscellaneous wood for firewood. So I stole the tree and cut it into sections, which is easier to burn and more convenient!"

In this day and age, a lot of the firewood bought by city people was cut into one-foot-long pieces by rural people after cutting down trees. When burning, they only need to add it to the stove. Unlike the people in rural areas who cut firewood in whole pieces. After carrying it to the stove, it is necessary to cut it into sections with a sickle when lighting the fire.

Compared with miscellaneous trees, larger trees are cut and split into pieces with an axe, which is undoubtedly easier to burn.

Therefore, even though Shen Qiansan said that he was from the city, the middle-aged man still believed that he was a tree thief.

This became increasingly unclear the more he talked about it, and Shen Qiansan was speechless for a while.

It's true that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

When the middle-aged man saw that Shen Qiansan had stopped talking, he thought he had a guilty conscience and became even more arrogant. He said fiercely: "You robber, quickly return the tree that you stole from me, otherwise I won't accept the sickle in my hand." .”

Shen Qiansan was helpless and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me carefully. I really have never stolen your tree!"

"Will a robber admit that he stole something?" the middle-aged man said teasingly, and continued: "You have been caught by me now, and it is useless to quibble!"

As if worried about Shen Qiansan's escape, someone said: "It's useless for you to run, I already remember your face!"

Shen Qiansan said: "I didn't steal your tree, why should I run away?"

"How about you come home with me and see if I have your tree in my house!"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Then you definitely didn't put the tree at home!"

Shen Qiansan said: "Old man, I asked you to go to my house to catch cheaters, cheaters, thieves, and others, but you didn't believe it!"

"Then how can I prove that I didn't steal your tree?"

The middle-aged man said: "If you hadn't stolen my tree, why were you running up my mountain?"

"Don't talk to me about the scenery, we don't have any good scenery here!"

"Okay!" Shen Qiansan sighed and said, "You said I stole your tree, do you have any evidence?"

The middle-aged man said plausibly: "First, you are a stranger; second, you are sneaky; third, my tree was stolen; fourth, I have not seen anyone else except you..."

Shen Qiansan was speechless for a while.

Forget about the first stranger, the two of them have never met before, so that makes sense.

But the second...

Why are you so sneaky?

And the third and fourth ones behind are not even catching wind and shadow.

It's all a mess.

This also proves once again that the scholar's meeting with the soldier is really reasonable and cannot be explained clearly.

Anyway, the middle-aged man decided that Shen Qiansan had stolen his tree.

People, once you decide something, it is difficult to change your mind without hard evidence.

Shen Qiansan didn't bother to waste any more words and simply shut up.

"Do you think you can get through it without saying anything?"

When the middle-aged man saw that Shen Qiansan had stopped talking, he became more and more convinced that he was guilty. He held a sickle in one hand and came to catch Shen Qiansan with the other.

Shen Qiansan didn't resist, just stared at the sickle in the middle-aged man's hand.

Catch yourself okay.

If the other party uses the knife, he can only resist for a while.

The legal concept of this era was not as strong as that of later generations. Let alone three trees, these farmers dared to use the knife just for a few corn stalks. There were many things to do.

He won't get stabbed in vain.

Seeing that Shen Qiansan neither ran away nor resisted, the middle-aged man was surprised.

Under normal circumstances, how could a robber be caught like this?

But he was just stunned for a moment, then he accepted death again and coldly snorted: "I've caught you now, let's see what you say."

As he spoke, he stared at Shen Qiansan warily, then took off the backpack from his shoulder with the hand holding the sickle and placed it on the ground.

Shen Qiansan just watched indifferently and didn't do anything.

After the middle-aged man put down his backpack, he took out a rope from it. It is a "hook rope" used to bundle firewood after cutting it. It is very common in rural areas.

"what are you doing?"

When Shen Qiansan saw the middle-aged man taking out the hook rope, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hehe..." the middle-aged man sneered, "What for? Of course I tied you up..."

Being caught is nothing, but tying someone up.

"It's too much!"

How could Shen Qiansan be willing to let him tie her up? He quickly stepped back and said.

His arm was pulled by the middle-aged man, and his retreat naturally attracted the middle-aged man.

Perhaps the middle-aged man was holding the rope before, but he didn't expect that Shen Qiansan would suddenly retreat. Being pulled by this, he staggered, and the hand holding the sickle naturally swung to maintain the balance of the body.

This action was like swinging a sickle towards Shen Qiansan.

Seeing the sickle approaching, Shen Qiansan raised his other hand and cut his palm on the wrist of the middle-aged man's hand holding the sickle.

"Dangdang!"

The middle-aged man's wrist hurt and he could no longer hold the sickle. He let go of his hand and the sickle fell to the ground.

"You still want to run!"

This was Shen Qiansan's self-protection, but the middle-aged man thought that Shen Qiansan wanted to run away, so he shouted angrily, and then shouted loudly: "The robbers have been caught! The robbers have been caught..."
