thief, don't run

That little thief!Stealing is not counted!How dare she openly reveal the time and place of the next theft in front of her!

"Tell me, isn't she very arrogant!" With a "click", An Lingxue slapped her job bowl on the table with a look of displeasure.

"My sister," An Lingfeng hurriedly picked up the few grains of rice she had spilled, and tried to persuade him, "I know you don't like him, but you should eat well. Otherwise, where would you get the strength to compete with him?" fighting?"

"That's right," Chu Yan put a piece of tofu into Anling's snow bowl, and said with a smile, "Eat well, and don't talk about those unhappy things."

"It's not that I'm unhappy." An Lingxue took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely, "Actually, I'm quite happy that she reappeared."

An Lingfeng gave her a blank look, "It's just that you have too much time to catch a thief, why don't you help your brother share my tax collection?"

"I don't want it!" An Lingxue stretched out her chopsticks, snatched a piece of braised pork from under his chopsticks, put it in her mouth contentedly, and closed her eyes to savor it, "Ah—the meat you snatched is delicious! Brother, you still eat vegetables Bar."

"Eating meat alone will salt you to death!"

An Lingxue proudly raised her chin at him, "Aunt Xia's dishes are not salty!"

"Hey, here we come!" Aunt Xia brought a bowl of fish to the table, smiling happily, "It's rare that you all come back to eat today, and try Aunt Xia's cooking again!"

An Lingxue helped to bring the fish to the table, An Lingfeng greeted: "Aunt Xia, don't be too busy, sit down and eat with us."

"No busy work, there is still a soup, it will be ready soon, wait a little longer."

Chu Yan put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Mom, I'll help you."

Seeing that Chu Yan had left, An Lingfeng pressed down on his sister's job, and said, "Don't bother eating, you've been busy at the county office, it's rare for you to come home, and you care about Ah Yan."

An Lingxue glanced at the kitchen, saw Chu Yan and Aunt Xia busy, she didn't know why, "What do you care about?"

"Tsk," An Lingfeng nodded her head, "A Yan is double eighth this year, you are not worried about her marriage?"

"I, me, where should I be in a hurry? Aunt Xia is not in a hurry... Besides, I'm also sixteen this year, brother, why don't you care about me? Am I your own sister?"

An Lingfeng glanced at her with disgust, "I want to worry about you, but you don't care what you do, you sleep in the county office every day, which man dares to ask for it, besides, the person I introduced to you Did you see one?"

"Those men are too useless," An Lingxue scolded, breaking off her fingers, "If they are sour and talented, or they are rich young men, or they have sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, they are all unreliable."

"It's not as bad as you said. You just have too high a vision. Our father is a third-rank official. We don't need to worry, but Ah Yan and Aunt Xia are two mothers and daughters who depend on each other and take care of us like this. We need to take care of us." wear some."

"Oh." An Lingxue nodded and agreed.

An Lingxue, An Lingfeng, and Chu Yan grew up together. An Lingxue's mother, An Ling Rudong, went there when she was eight years old. Later, her father An Lingchen was promoted and went to the capital. Chang Lejing originally wanted to take away the An Lingfeng brother and sister, but neither of them wanted to leave, so they stayed and looked at the old house.The next door to their house is Chu Yan's family. Chu Yan is Aunt Xia's daughter. Aunt Xia and their mother, An Ling Rudong, are cousins. They married in the early years, but they divorced again. Chu Yan took her mother's surname. .Aunt Xia has always taken good care of the two brothers and sisters, and they have always regarded each other as family members.

Therefore, An Lingxue naturally cared about Chu Yan.

A large bowl of steaming and fragrant lotus root pork rib soup was brought to the table. Aunt Xia and Chu Yan also took their seats. An Lingfeng spoke first, "It's just right for four people to sit at our table, but every day Individuals are one-sided, a little deserted."

An Lingxue pursed her lips and snickered, unexpectedly, brother, he was being tactful, and was suddenly kicked by An Lingfeng under the table, and hurriedly smiled to help, "Yeah, more people will be lively at dinner time .”

Chu Yan looked at the reaction of the two brothers and sisters, and saw An Lingfeng smiling at her, so he understood most of it. He put a piece of ribs in An Lingfeng's snow bowl, and smiled at An Lingfeng, "Cousin thinks No one picks up food for you, is it a bit lonely? How about adding a cousin for us?"

"Puchi—" An Lingxue couldn't hold back her teeth as she chewed on the bone.Chu Yan has always been the most gentle and peaceful among the three of them. Her brother is a boy, and he often took the two of them around when he was young, and she liked to dance knives and sticks since she was a child. He often goes out to catch thieves, so his temper is a little more casual.However, Chu Yan has been reading and composing poems at home. He has a gentle and honest temperament, but he is also extremely intelligent, and others can't take advantage of it.

"You children," Aunt Xia said angrily, "Marriage is an important matter, you have to think about it carefully, you must not be sloppy, you have to find someone you like."

The three of them knew that Aunt Xia had reconciled with the man who didn't know what to do, and after hearing this, they all fell silent.

An Lingfeng coughed, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Then what does Ah Yan like? Could it be that big thief Yun Zhongfei? I heard that many girls' homes are still looking forward to being patronized by him."

Chu Yan glanced at An Lingxue, "Cousin is joking, I have never seen what he looks like, so how can I be sincere?"

An Lingxue picked up a vegetable leaf for her brother, and interjected, "It's useless to be sincere, she's a woman."

"what?"

An Lingxue looked at the shocked expressions of the other three, and blinked, "Didn't I issue a new arrest warrant? You don't even know?"

"Who's going to look at the arrest warrant?" An Lingfeng put down his job and became interested, "Hey, you said that the big thief Yun Zhongfei is a woman, how did you know? Have you seen what she looks like? She looks good. No?"

"Hmm..." An Lingxue bit her chopsticks and thought about it for a long time, only the phrase "Dengtuzi" and her face turned into anger became clearer and clearer, a little blush crept up behind her ears, and the lingering smile appeared on her palm again. "Cough, who knows, uh, well, Ah Yan, what kind of food do you like, so we can keep an eye out for you, and don't let people take it away first."

Chu Yan glanced at An Lingxue, smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

An Lingxue didn't understand, so Aunt Xia also took a look at her own daughter, brought food for the three of them, and said: "No hurry, no hurry..."

An Lingfeng glanced around, and changed the subject, "It's not urgent, just the few of us live a good life, and avoid those worries. By the way, Axue, do you know what Yun Zhongfei's name is?" ?”

"I do not know."

"Hey, you don't even know the name of your opponent, how will you catch her the day after tomorrow?"

Speaking of this, An Lingxue remembered, turned her head, and asked, "Brother, have you made what I asked you to do last time?"

An Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, with a proud expression on his face, "Your brother is doing something, so it goes without saying!"

"Really? Cousin has made something new, let me see it too?" Chu Yan also looked expectant.

"Yes, brother, hurry up..."

"You guys—" Aunt Xia tapped her chopsticks on the bowl and said "Ding", "Eat well!"

The three of them were silent when they heard the words, they all lowered their heads to pick up the rice, and looked up at each other with a smile, causing Aunt Xia to scold again.

After finishing the meal, An Lingfeng helped to clean up the dishes, and finally showed his proud work under the expectant eyes of the two younger sisters.

He is different from An Lingxue. Although he is both the county captain of Shangluo County, he is in charge of the three departments of the official household ceremony, so he doesn't need to travel around. Do something for my sister's great cause of catching thieves.

"What is this?" What Chu Yan held in his hand were two rings, connected by an iron chain that was neither long nor short, which looked like shackles for prisoners.

An Lingxue kicked her elder brother from below, slightly annoyed, "Why did you bring this thing here, and show it to Ah Yan."

"You have wronged me." An Lingfeng took the thing back, put it in front of her, and explained: "This is the handcuffs I remade from the shackles. You also know that Yun Zhongfei is very good at lightness. If you catch her , Ordinary instruments of torture can't imprison her at all, and this is not just for her."

"What's that like?" An Lingxue immediately became interested when she heard that she was able to trap that dead woman, "Brother, tell me quickly, don't be fooled."

"Ahem, this is to lock you and her together."

"what?"

"Silly sister, think about it, even if she has excellent lightness skills, as long as you are with her, she will definitely not be able to escape."

"Yes—" An Lingxue half-supported her head, sliding her fingertips and fiddled with the handcuffs, "But the premise is that I have to grab her first, but I haven't even touched the corner of her clothes so far."

The accident doesn't count.

Chu Yan said lightly, "I guess, my cousin must have other things that I haven't brought out."

"Really?"

An Lingfeng and Chu Yan looked at each other and smiled, "Ah Yan is still smart." While talking, he took out another bright yellow paper bag, which seemed to be wrapped in a bag of powder.

An Lingxue didn't care about her brother scolding her for being stupid in disguise, she just tore off the wrapping paper of the small package, there was just a little white powder inside, it was plain, she guessed it was something like medicine powder, but she didn't know what it was for.However, since it was something her brother took out, An Lingxue was a little more cautious, and cast him a questioning look.

An Lingfeng explained: "This is not unusual. I improved it according to the original recipe. Just a little inhalation can make people's muscles and bones weak and limbs weak." An Lingfeng pretended to be mysterious, "Of course, the most important thing , but you can’t use lightness kung fu, it’s most suitable for dealing with escaped thieves.”

An Lingxue smiled, very good, with this thing, she is not afraid of not being able to catch that woman.

"Thank you bro!"

An Lingxue tidied up and was about to leave, Chu Yan asked, "It's so late, does Ah Xue still have to go to the county government office?"

"En." An Lingxue's eyes were filled with a different look, "I'll go back to the county office first, and I'll go to the Cui Mansion tomorrow to make early preparations. This time, I must catch her!"

Chu Yan smiled gently, "Since that's the case, then I wish you success soon."

"Well, let's go first!"

Chu Yan looked at An Lingxue's receding back, sighed, and closed his eyes, maybe when you catch her, you will lose interest in her, and you will be able to see the people around you well...

Aunt Xia took a coat and put it on her, and sighed, murmuring to someone, "Silly girl..."
