The next two days were quiet, and nothing unusual happened in the village.

Father Zheng and the others were worried that the children would see the white-haired woman again, so they never dared to let them go out.

Jinbao and the others could only play in their own yard.

Until this morning, a villager family was complaining that their chickens were missing. They stood on the road in the village and made a fuss, looking like they were dying.

In the end, the village chief could only be invited to come forward to solve the problem.

"Ms. Zhang, don't rush to scold me. Let's talk about the situation first. When did you find out that the chicken was missing?" the village chief asked.

There was no other case of theft in their village except Du Dazui. Du Dazui was also paralyzed on the bed and unable to move, so she could be excluded.

"I just discovered that they were missing this morning. I saw two chickens alive and well before I went to bed last night! After breakfast today, I went to feed the chickens and found that the chickens were missing. I don't know who killed the two chickens. They were all stolen from me! I can’t live anymore!”

Mrs. Zhang started to clap her thighs again and started crying as she spoke. Two chickens were indeed a big fortune for them.

The village chief frowned and looked at Zhang, and said: "The roads in the village are blocked, and it is impossible for outsiders to come in, so it can only be done by people in our village."

He glanced at the onlookers and shouted loudly: "Who committed a stupid thing in a moment of confusion? If you stand up and admit it, you can forget the blame. If I find out, then don't blame me for being ruthless and expelling you from the village!"

Although the village is poor, it has always been united, and there has never been any theft. Last time, Du Dazui was caught stealing meat. Because he was punished for eating a lot of feces, there was no further investigation.

This chicken stealing incident has really touched the bottom line and must be severely punished, otherwise there will continue to be people who follow the same example. It seems that there will be no room for such people in the village.

The villagers who were watching the excitement talked a lot, but still no one came forward to admit their mistake.

After a long time, a villager stood up hesitantly and said, "Village Chief, there is something I don't know whether I should say..."

"If you have any clues, please tell me. This is a matter for our entire village. Today he can steal Zhang's chickens, and tomorrow he can steal yours!" the village chief said sternly.

"The village chief is right, we must find him out, otherwise he will steal again!"

After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers who had chickens at home became a little anxious, fearing that their chickens would also be stolen.

"Li Laizi came to my house two days ago to buy chickens. I didn't sell them to him. I don't know if it was him..." the villager who just stood up continued.

"Yes, I remembered that he also went to my house to buy chickens, and I didn't sell them to him."

"And my family, I only have one chicken, and I didn't sell it to him!"

"I...sold him my chicken..." He didn't dare to mention how much money he paid for it.

"It must be that bastard Li Laizi who stole my chickens. I'm going to find him. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. He came to our house today to steal chickens. I made it clear that I don't want anyone to feel better. I'm not done with him today."

Mrs. Zhang said that she was about to run to Li Laizi's house. She looked so angry that she was ready to fight.

The village chief quickly asked someone to stop her.

"Don't get excited yet. Logically speaking, he has already bought the chicken, so he won't steal it again. It's better to find out first, otherwise it will be difficult to accuse someone who has been wronged."

The village chief also had a headache at this time. He didn't know what to do now. He couldn't lead people to search Li Laizi's home.

At this time, Father Zheng saw that there was a lot of noise in the village, so he walked over to see what was going on.

The village chief was worried about coming up with a good idea. When he saw Father Zheng coming, his eyes lit up and he quickly pulled him over to help him think of a solution.

Father Zheng was surrounded by a group of villagers and was a little confused about the situation. The village chief narrated it to him again.

When Father Zheng heard this, he suddenly became astonished. What kind of thing is this? This can also allow me to catch up. This is a fun...

"Brother Village Elder, I don't know what to do about this... I don't know what to do!" No one dares to search a house openly without any evidence.

The surrounding villagers also started making noises, but they still couldn't come up with a good idea.

"How about we ask Li Laizi first? Let's see what his answer is?" someone suggested.

"Yes, ask, let's go together!"

The village chief thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only way to go for now. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so it had to be resolved as soon as possible.

The group of people walked to the door of Li Laizi's house with great momentum.

The village chief stood still, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked up to knock on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

"Is this a guilty conscience? You don't even dare to open the door!"

"Yes, he must have stolen the chicken, so he didn't dare to show his face."

Some villagers couldn't bear it anymore and were about to come forward and break the door open.

At this time, Li Laizi suddenly opened the door from the inside.

"What are you doing~"

Li Laizi didn't even open his eyelids, he leaned against the door weakly and said.

Everyone's jaws dropped when they saw Li Laizi's appearance. It had only been a few days and he was so thin that he looked like he could fall down even if he sneezed. It was so scary!

The village chief couldn't help but ask: "Li Laizi, what's wrong with you?"

Why does this suddenly sound like a terminal illness?

Li Laizi said impatiently: "What's wrong? I'm very good. I disturb people's rest early in the morning. Isn't it annoying?"

Saying that, he closed the door.

Fortunately, Father Zheng blocked it with quick eyesight and quick hands. He was also startled just now. Looking at Li Laizi's appearance, he could guess that the women in his family were most likely not human.

This is a bad time.

"Why are you anxious? We still have something to ask you!" Seeing that he was about to fall down at any time, the village chief asked directly without wanting to be like him.

"Say what's going on, I'm still waiting to go to bed!" Li Laizi said and yawned again.

"The Zhang family is missing two chickens. Have you seen it?" the village chief asked, watching the change in Li Laizi's expression.

Sure enough, when Li Laizi heard about Zhang's chickens, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Her chickens have nothing to do with me. I have never been to her house."

As he spoke, he closed the door and pushed the person out.

But with his current appearance, even a child could push him, so how could he possibly push him past Father Zheng.

Father Zheng opened the door directly with a strong force.

Li Laizi stumbled and almost fell.

The villagers ignored him and rushed in directly.

When Li Laizi saw this, he said angrily: "Is there any more law for the king? What you are doing is called breaking into a private house."

This sentence calmed the villagers. They really didn't understand the king's law very well.
