Zhou Ning clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then you make a rule and we'll start work tomorrow."

It is late at night. It is April, the most beautiful month of the year. This season should be full of flowers, but it is too dry today. Only a few drought-resistant flowers are still stubbornly holding on.

In the desolate night, twenty or thirty people sneaked into Zhoujia Village.

One of the tall and thin men sneaked into the Shen family with two stronger men.

At night, everyone else was sleeping soundly, but Shen You was the only one who couldn't sleep because he was thinking about his plan, so he went to the kitchen to get some food.

Shen You was very alert. The rustling sounds outside did not sound like the Shen family coming out to drink water or go to the toilet.

Could it be bandits?

Shen You quietly retreated to a corner and picked up the two swords she had hidden there. Those people wanted money, but if they wanted lives...

One of them, a stronger man with a beard, entered the kitchen.

The bearded man whispered, "Emma, ​​what smells so good?"

He didn't take anything first, but followed the smell to find the pancake with meat that Shen You had left over and gobbled it up.

The pancake contains pork and chili peppers. It is soft and tender and tastes so good.

In fact, Shen You was not full yet, and her stomach was growling.

“Gugu~~”

This is awkward.

Shen You held two swords in his hands, ready for battle.

The bearded man looked in the direction of Shen You, but before he could say "who", he was stabbed by an unknown weapon and fell down.

Qi Ji was quick to put the bearded man down, then walked to Shen You and asked in a low voice, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

The moonlight was still bright today, and Shen You specially chose a corner just now. The bearded man was concentrating on eating and didn't notice Shen You.

Now, in the moonlight, Shen You saw Qi Ji holding a sword, looking at her anxiously.

I was really scared just now. Shen You grabbed Qi Ji's arm and paused for three seconds.

Qi Ji was a little overwhelmed. He patted her back carefully and said, "It's okay. I'm here."

"Where are Aning and the others?" Shen You asked.

She knew that Bai Zhao and his master must be fine, but Aning was sleeping so soundly.

Qi Ji said softly, "It's okay. Master has observed that there are about three people. We can handle them. Ah Zhao will go and call your brothers first. We will wait for a while. They will deal with these people."

"Aren't you going to help?" Shen You asked.

Qi Ji said: "I'll stay here with you. In case there are other thieves, it's dangerous to be alone."

This is true.

Just in case, Shen You pulled Qi Ji to hide in the corner where they were just now. The space was a bit small.

Qi Ji felt his face getting a little hot, so he moved slightly to the side to avoid touching Shen You.

Shen You didn't notice it, and was very worried about Zhou Ning and her family.

However, I have only recently started learning martial arts and I am afraid that I might cause more trouble.

Two or three minutes later, Bai Zhao came to the kitchen and called Qi Ji and Bai Zhao.

Everyone was surrounding the three thieves in the outer room. The thieves were tied up with ropes from nowhere, and their expressions were different.

Liu Qingsong was furious and cursed in a low voice: "You beasts, I @$%*&¥$"

Qing Yi asked Bai Zhao to stop him, covered his mouth, and said, "Okay, don't waste time."

The three men didn't look like professionals in this field, and they were very panicked. However, he knew at a glance that the tall and thin man was the leader because the two strong men kept glancing at him.

"You, skinny monkey, I'll give you one chance. Tell me how many people are there, who is the leader, and what the purpose is." Qingyi said.

The skinny monkey hesitated. According to the normal procedure, these people should interrogate him. If he refused, they would interrogate him again. If he still refused, he would be beaten the third time. So he had to hold on for now. He could give an explanation when he returned, and at least he had tried his best.

Seeing that he was silent, Qingyi said directly, "A Ning, go ahead."

Zhou Ning took the silver needle and stabbed him in the candlelight without saying a word.

The man opened his mouth and was about to scream in pain. Bai Zhao quickly stuffed Shen Yi's smelly socks into his mouth.

Shen Yi's socks smell terrible.

There were sounds of vomiting all around.

Liu Qingxiu said impatiently: "How many times have I told you to take a bath and wash your feet, but you just didn't listen. Your feet stink."

How can I describe this stench? It's like my socks are stiff and make a sound when I throw them on the ground. Just imagine it.

The skinny monkey was almost killed by the stench, his eyes were twitching and he was making humming sounds in his mouth.

The bearded man burst into tears and shouted, "Wow, Boss, you are so miserable."

"Wow." The third person also cried.

Why are you all crying?

Shen You couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You two, stop crying and tell the truth quickly, and I will let your boss go."

The bearded man twitched his lips and said, "We, our family is dying of drought. We really have no other way out, so we came out to rob. But we just rob some food."

Zhou Ning asked, "Just some food? More than that, didn't you also take some jewelry from my room?"

The bearded man said with a ticking voice, "This is my first vote."

"How many of you are there in total?" Qingyi asked.

The bearded man said, "Including the three of us, there are twenty-three in total."

"How did you get together?"

"The three of us are from the same hometown. Some of the others are brothers, and some are acquaintances we made along the way. We got together by chance, thinking that when we make a few bucks and earn enough money, we will buy a piece of land and settle down." The bearded man sounded quite aggrieved.

Zhou Ning asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

Qing Yi said, "Let's wait. Now those people are only thinking about taking money and food. There are twenty of them. Even if I can handle them, I can't guarantee that they won't hurt anyone."

That's all we can do.

No one felt sleepy anymore and they all watched over these three people.

"Master, weren't you robbed?" Shen You asked. Come to think of it, Qingyi and the others reacted so quickly, there must be a thief in the house.

Qi Ji said: "Two people did break in with us, but Master knocked them out on the spot. They are now in the woodshed."

Perhaps it was because those people lacked experience, the village was in chaos, with children crying and women cursing one after another.

Some of those thieves could defeat the villagers, while some could not. However, in the end, they were no match for the large population of the villagers. After defeating their own thieves, they would help fight the thieves next door.

Just like that, everything was in tatters. At daybreak, the village chief knocked on something and shouted, "Everyone, come out! There must be a thief in the house. Bring the thief to the big locust tree."

Some were wrapped in blankets, some were tied with ropes, and some had scratches on their faces. In short, it was a miserable mess.

These people were thrown under a big locust tree, shivering in the April weather.

The village chief, Clan Chief Zhou, Clan Chief Li, and Clan Chief Zhang are all here.

The head of the village didn't come because there was a thief in the next door village, and he had to go to the town to report it, wondering if the security was too bad.
