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

"Catch the robber!"

"Catch the robber..."

"The robber who stole my tree was caught by me and he wanted to run away..."

The middle-aged man's shout came from the top of the mountain, and his voice was angry, like a wild beast roaring.

Although there are few people here, there are four or five families with 20 or 30 people at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing the shouting, people of all ages, men, women, and children rushed towards the top of the mountain with whatever they had in hand.

Of course, Shen Qiansan was invisible on the top of the mountain.

He was just a little helpless.

Originally, he only retreated to prevent the middle-aged man from tying him up, and then shot him down to avoid being hit by the sickle.

This was originally a misunderstanding.

Now it's even more unclear.

Escape is also impossible.

There is only one path down the mountain.

He believed that when the middle-aged man shouted, the people at the bottom of the mountain must be rushing up the mountain.

It’s better not to go into the woods!

Not to mention that the woods were overgrown with weeds and thorns, but that he was not familiar with this place at all. Who knows if there were sinkholes, charcoal kilns, hunter's traps, etc. in the mountains. If he misses the mark and falls in, even if he can fight, he must be a prisoner.

At that point, it was even harder to tell.

He might even get a beating first.

In this era, the legal perspective was far less strong than that of later generations, but people's good and bad intentions were as clear as ever.

If you catch a robber, beat him up first, and even the police won't say anything.

Even if he misunderstood the contact later and proved that he was not a robber who stole the tree, the beating would have been in vain.

"Good good..."

After thinking about this, Shen Qiansan raised his hand to signal the middle-aged man not to shout, and said helplessly: "Old man, I won't run!"

"You should run away!" the middle-aged man said angrily, "I want to see if you can run away!"

Shen Qiansan knew that he couldn't explain it clearly to this person, so he simply shut up and said nothing more.

I just hope that one of the people who will arrive soon will be sensible and can explain clearly.

When the middle-aged man saw that Shen Qiansan was silent, he said nothing more.

Having been knocked off the sickle by Shen Qiansan earlier, he seemed to realize that this young man was not easy to deal with, and he did not dare to step forward easily. He only stared at him with his eyes to prevent Shen Qiansan from escaping.

The two of them just spent their time confronting each other.

"Uncle Benshan, I didn't meet any robbers when I came down the mountain!"

"Brother Benshan, did the robber escape?"

"Uncle Benshan, where are you? Make a noise!"

"Benshan..."

"..."

Not long after, noisy voices sounded, with various names.

When Fan Benshan heard that the villagers were coming, his somewhat nervous expression suddenly relaxed and he loudly replied: "The robber didn't run away, I'm just spending time with him!"

There are trees and firewood growing on the mountain, but for the time being I can only hear their sounds, but no one has been seen yet.

"It's okay if you didn't run away, we're here!"

"This robber is so brave that he didn't run away!"

"With Uncle Benshan watching, he dares to run?"

"That's right, this is the only way down the mountain. Why don't you run into me when you escape?"

"There are so many of us, and if he dares to run down, he is throwing himself into a trap."

"..."

There was a commotion, and more than a dozen figures emerged and came to the top of the mountain.

More than a dozen people were dressed as farmers, all of them men, young men in their seventeens or eighteen, strong men in their twenties or thirties, and middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.

They are the faster ones.

There were voices behind, including women, older people and children.

After a while, everyone gathered around.

Everyone has something in their hands, such as poles, forks, steel crows, sticks...all kinds of things.

When Shen Qiansan saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

You really... think of yourself as a robber.

"How dare you come to our Fan Village to steal things?!"

"I caught you today!"

"If you are wise, hurry up and capture him, otherwise the guy in our hands will not be very discerning."

"Why are you talking so much? If you catch the robber, beat him first and then send him to the police station!"

"He looks like a human and a dog. Why don't you learn to be a robber?"

"Bah, I have a good face for nothing and do all the embarrassing things."

"Tell me, how many times have you come to our village to steal?"

"Did you hide the stolen tree or sell it?"

"Bring the rope and tie it up first!"

"..."

The people in Fanjia Village surrounded Shen Qiansan, noisily shouting and cursing.

Fan Benshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the villagers were here and he still had the guy in his hand. He no longer worried that the robber would run away.

At first, Shen Qiansan didn't speak.

They all thought he was a robber, and everyone had just rushed over. The crowd was furious, and speaking at this time was like adding fuel to the fire.

After everyone cursed for a while and their emotions gradually calmed down, he looked around at everyone and said, "Who among you is in charge?"

"You steal my tree, I decide my territory!" Fan Benshan looked calm when he saw so many people surrounding Shen Qiansan, but he couldn't help but feel angry and said angrily.

Shen Qiansan said: "I told you several times and I said I didn't steal your tree, but you don't believe me!"

His tone changed, "Let's do this. Call your village chief and I'll tell him."

I thought I couldn’t explain it to Fan Benshan, so maybe I could explain it to the village chief!

Unexpectedly, the people surrounding him burst into laughter.

One of the young men with short hair said with a smile: "Boy, you still need to talk to the village chief! You don't know yet, but Uncle Fan is the village chief of our Fanjia Village!"

Fan Benshan puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Yes, I am the village chief of Fanjia Village!"

This……

Shen Qiansan was really speechless. He called people by name to communicate, but he didn't expect that Fan Benshan would be called.

How can you explain it clearly?

Seeing Shen Qiansan's expression, Fan Benshan laughed and said: "Boy, don't let me tie you up yet. Now you just let me tie you up. Let's go to the police station!"

"If you dare to struggle again, you will be beaten without mercy!"

"See, you are also a smart person, so you don't have to suffer the pain of flesh and blood!"

It's full of threats.

Shen Qiansan said: "You can go to the police station, but there is no need to tie him up!"

Pointing to the twenty or thirty people surrounding him, he said: "There are so many of you, are you still afraid that I will run away?"

Fan Benshan said reluctantly: "I'm just afraid that you will run away!"

His anger from the previous moment had not subsided, and he knew that this boy was very skilled, so it was better to tie him up and feel more at ease.

This guy was so helpless that Shen Qiansan was really helpless and said, "You are also the village chief, why are you so stubborn?"

Before Fan Benshan could say anything more, a girl in the crowd suddenly said: "Dad, there are so many of us, I don't think he can run away. He is being sent to the police station anyway. It doesn't matter whether he is tied up or not."

Shen Qiansan was overjoyed when he heard this. Finally, someone could speak for him.

Otherwise, if the other party insists on binding him, he will definitely refuse, otherwise he will have to "break out of the siege".

Looking at the speaker, I saw that she was in her twenties, wearing a peony red jacket. She looked pretty and had two deep dimples on her rosy face.
