Chapter 15

Six quarters of the hour, that is, 12:30 at night.

Xinglin Village was quiet.

Under the bright moonlight, Fang Jianren hid all the way to the gate of Lao Jiang's house.

Pushing the courtyard door lightly, I found that it was locked inside.

He looked left and right again, and as Jiang Erya expected, he stepped on the stone pier on the right side of the courtyard gate, turned over and entered the courtyard of Lao Jiang's house.

"what--"

Fang Jianren let out a short and suppressed exclamation.

His foot landed on a spiky log and got pricked.

The long spikes pierced first the soles of his shoes, and then the soles of his feet.

He exclaimed in pain, but he immediately covered his mouth.

Enduring the pain and pulling out the thorn, and carefully avoiding the other thorns, he limped to the middle of the yard.Go straight to the room of Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang on the left side of the main room.

He didn't know beforehand that it was the room of Old Jiang and his wife, he only knew that Old Jiang and his wife lived in the main room.

But in the middle of the yard, he knew it.Because there were two snoring sounds one after another in that room.He figured it out, the snoring sound was made by Old Jiangtou and his wife.

Fang Jianren squatted down and came under the window, poked a small hole in the window paper with one finger, carefully put his right eye outside the hole, and watched everything in the room under the bright moonlight.

confirmed.The ones on the bed are Old Jiang and his wife.

He moved his eyes away, inserted a thin bamboo tube into the small hole in the window paper, and used the bamboo tube to blow misty smoke into the room.

After a while, the snoring of Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang stopped.The smoke worked.

Fang Jianren originally wanted to find Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya's room and stun them too, but he didn't have any smoke left.

This thing is not easy to get, it is expensive, and he needs it urgently, so others only gave him one.

He had no choice but to cover his mouth and nose with a cloth towel, pry open the window of Old Jiangtou carefully, turn into the room through the window, and grope around gently...

After a stick of incense, Fang Jianren turned out of the window with Mrs. Jiang's silver hairpin in his arms, a money box in one hand, and two dim sum in the other.

These two pieces of dim sum are high-end goods, and they were brought back from the county seat by Jiang Dashan when he returned to the village last time to honor Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang.

A piece of dim sum costs half a tael of silver, but there are only four pieces in total, with four different kinds of flowers and plants printed on it.

Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang only ate one piece each, and they were reluctant to eat the remaining two pieces, so they kept them and served them out over and over again when the guests came.

If the guests really want to reach for it, they just take it away.These are the two narrow ghosts.

Fang Jianren had seen this kind of dim sum in Yichun Courtyard, and he always wanted to try it, but he was never willing to buy it.

He stood on the porch, tore off the cloth towel from his face, bit off half of the pastry, thinking, finally he could taste what this pastry tasted like.

But before he could taste the snack, he was taken aback.

Jiang Erya who was hiding in the dark shouted: "Ah! There is a thief! Dad, you are up too, hurry up, let's catch the thief together..."

In fact, Jiang Erniu didn't wake up at all, Jiang Erya was singing a one-man show.The purpose is to make Fang Jianren panic.

Fang Jianren really panicked when he heard this, and even choked on the dry dim sum.

He coughed twice, spit out the choking snack, and rushed towards the courtyard door, clutching the money box tightly.

However, the gate of the courtyard was locked by Jiang Erya.

He was about to jump over the wall and escape again.

There are spikes under the wall on the right, but there is a bench under the wall on the left.

Fang Jianren didn't have time to think about it, his eyes swept to both sides, and he rushed to the bench on the left.

Step on the bench, jump on the wall, spin and ride out of the wall, and then jump down.

His movements are smooth and flowing, and his posture is neat and unrestrained.

There is even a beautiful parabola drawn between the courtyard wall and the ground half a meter outside the courtyard wall.

After a second of handsomeness, he screamed in pain.

"what!"

He didn't set foot on the ground as he wished, but instead fell into Jiang Erya's pre-set trap, and there was a "click" on his ankle.

Ahhh, what a pain, a pain...

Jiang Erya was already prepared.

The moment Fang Jianren stepped on the bench, she went to the courtyard door to unlock it.

After unlocking the lock, she walked out of the courtyard with the iron pan in one hand and the spatula in the other. Before Fang Jianren could react, she walked to the edge of the trap and slammed the iron pan with the spatula.

"Come on, come on, come on, there are thieves..."

She shouted a few times but didn't hear anything, so she changed her words on the spot.

"It's on fire, it's on fire..."

Calling a thief, others may have nothing to do with it if they hear it, and hang up high.

But water and fire are ruthless, and no one is sure whether the fire will burn to their own heads along the wind.

The sound of "on fire" really woke up a large group of neighbors.

Jiang Erya continued to knock on the bottom of the pot while shouting, and took the time to use the spatula to poke Fang Jianren, who was trying to climb up from the trap, back into the trap.

Jiang Erya has high physical fitness and great strength. The spatula poked Fang Jianren's body, causing Fang Jianren's tears and snot to flow out from the pain.

But Fang Jianren still didn't let go of the idea of ​​running, and kept struggling.

But he is destined to be unable to escape, Jiang Erya can stop him alone, not to mention there are reinforcements behind her.

Jiang Erniu came, and so did the neighbors.

Fang Jianren was outnumbered and tied up.

Fang Jianren was not a dead duck and refused stubbornly, but he wanted to know which bastard dug this damn trap.

"If it wasn't for this trap, I would have succeeded. Who on earth ruined my good deed?"

Jiang Erya held the money box and pointed to herself: "I dug it for your aunt."

This question is just a matter of opinion, and others will ask it sooner or later. Jiang Erya has already thought up her words, and there is nothing she dares to admit.

Fang Jianren asked again: "You are so nice, why did you dig a trap outside the wall of your own courtyard?" The trap happened to catch him, a thief who came to steal money.

"Could it be? You knew I would come tonight?"

All the people present looked at Jiang Erya, "Yes, did you know that this kid was coming to steal things?"

Jiang Erya nodded: "Yes, I already knew."

"Impossible! It's impossible for you to know! This incident was improvised by me, and I never told anyone except the guy who sold me cigarettes!"

Like everyone else, Jiang Erniu was full of thirst for knowledge, and he would look at whoever Jiang Erya and Fang Jianren were talking to.

The reason why Jiang Erya could predict the thief's arrival in advance was of course because she had a system.But it is impossible for her to tell everyone the truth.

She looked at Jiang Erniu and said, "When we went to Fang Jianren's house to ask for compensation, I was lying on the door panel, but I wasn't unconscious, I was just pretending."

Everyone except Fang Jianren nodded.They all know this.

Fang Jianren wanted to vomit blood after hearing this, she was faking it, needless to say, Jiang Erniu was also faking it.

It's a shame, their father and daughter are fine, why should he pay 15 taels of silver?
