I am Fugui

Chapter 58 Opening the Safe

Master Long has been stolen!
In just a few days, the news spread throughout Xujia Village, spreading to the surroundings at a faster speed, and once became the center of discussion among everyone.

These two days, Xujia Village was really lively. First, Long Er married two concubines, then the wedding was disrupted, and finally Long Er was thieves. There were a lot of jokes, and they were all related to Long Er, the landowner.

When the villagers got together to discuss, they were full of envy and even a trace of regret for the unknown thief.

At that time, why did you just focus on watching the fun, and didn't think about fishing in troubled waters to make a fortune?
The house is so big and there are so many valuable things, if you just take one or two things, who would know that I did it?

Even if you don't take valuables, you can go to the kitchen to get two catties of meat. The family rarely eats meat once a year for more than 300 days. Such a good opportunity was missed.

That thief was smart, and he didn't know what he stole, which caused Long Er to lose his temper, and even beat the kitchen steward to a half-mutilation.

Xu Fugui also participated in these discussions, discussing with others who is the thief with great interest, and even analyzed together to see who was the most likely.

After their analysis, it must be Hu Mazi's men who did it.

This group of people was originally a gang of pickpockets, and it was normal to do sneaky things.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and there were only five days left before the Chinese New Year.

In the stove of the Xu family’s thatched cottage, a fire was burning ragingly. The firewood split from the camphor tree gave off a unique aroma, continuously smoking the bacon on the flame.

The smoked bacon is sallow and black, and the color is quite good, which is worthy of their careful smoking for so many days.

"Fugui, when you go to the county town to sell lo mei in two days, take a piece of bacon and buy some other things to wish your father-in-law a new year." Mother Xu said.

Xu Fugui nodded and agreed, "What if the old man doesn't accept it?"

"Anyway, you have to find a way to get your in-laws to accept it. Although it's not worth any money, it's our heart anyway."

Xu's father interjected, "Your father-in-law likes to drink tea, so remember to buy a catty of high-quality tea and send it over. Don't worry about money."

After roasting for a while, Xu Fugui couldn't rest anymore, the safe in the space hadn't been opened yet, and he had been thinking about what was inside for the past few days.

But there are too many people, and there is always no chance.

He even saw Long Er often wandering around in and out of the village, looking at everyone with suspicion in his eyes, trying to find flaws in their expressions.

But Xu Fugui had lived to be a hundred years old in his previous life, and had seen a lot. When he spoke, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat. Long Er exchanged greetings with him and left.

"Father, mother, I'm going to dig winter bamboo shoots in the mountains." He got up and said.

"It's such a cold day, what's the matter if you don't warm up at home? Isn't it tired enough?" Mother Xu said angrily.

Chang Gen said with a simple and honest smile: "Master, there are no winter bamboo shoots left in the mountains, I have dug them up."

Xu Fugui picked up the hoe, "I can't be idle, if I can't dig winter bamboo shoots, I can go to set up birds."

"You just can't stay idle." Mother Xu said with a smile.

Xu's father snorted coldly, "Dogs can't change eating shit, they are the father of two children, and they still like to play so much."

"Master, I'll go with you." Lai Shun jumped up and said.

Laishun was listless two days ago, he probably couldn't accept the White Widow lying on someone else's bed.

But after a few days, Laishun became heartless again and started talking to him about other pretty young girls in the village.

Xu Fugui made up some random reason for him to stay at home, and walked out of the kitchen with a hoe and a basket on his shoulders.

Space and rebirth are his biggest secrets. Although Laishun is one of his closest relatives, unless it is absolutely necessary, he should not let him know.

The more people who know about it, the more dangerous it will be.

When I came to the yard, I looked at the ax standing next to the woodpile, and my heart moved, and I quietly put the ax into the space.

He pulled down the melon cap on his head, whistled, and walked slowly towards the mountain.

"Fugui, what are you doing here?" Sun Daotang greeted him when he saw him.

"Go to the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots."

"The winter bamboo shoots on your hillside are the best in our village. The winter bamboo shoots dug up with long roots a few days ago are big and thick."

"Haha, I don't know if there are any more, I'll go around again."

After saying a few words casually, he continued to walk towards the mountain with a hoe on his shoulder. He met many villagers on the road and greeted them one by one.

When we bypassed the bamboo forest and started to go up the mountain, we didn't meet anyone again.

All the way to the bamboo forest without stopping, there were occasional sounds of shouting and tree cutting around.

Looking down to Xujia Village, the adobe houses have become the size of ants, which feels like climbing a height and looking into the distance.

Continue to walk into the mountain. Behind the mountain is still a mountain. The terrain is steep and unsuitable for human habitation. With the addition of wild wolves and poisonous insects, there are few people here.

I heard that you can directly reach Osmanthus Village by climbing over these mountains, but I don't know if it is true or not.

After walking for about an hour and a half, the surrounding mountains and forests have become unfamiliar, there are no roads around, the ground is full of dead branches and leaves, and there is no sound.

Xu Fugui walked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, when he was about to take the safe out of the space, he suddenly saw a pheasant passing by not far away.

Hey, what kind of luck is this today? When I came out, I actually picked up a pheasant for nothing.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been in contact with humans for a long time, but the pheasant stopped curiously after seeing him. Of course Xu Fugui was not used to it, so he picked up a stone and threw it over.

Under the huge strength, the stone fell on the pheasant precisely like a shooting star.

"Cuckoo."

The pheasant screamed twice, and the severe pain made it unable to open its wings to escape. The next moment, Xu Fugui came to it, grabbed it with a big hand, grabbed it and threw it into the space.

Time and space stand still, and the pheasant immediately stays motionless in space.

After clapping their hands, they came to the back of a hidden hillside and took out the safe in the space.

The whole body of the safe was made of fine iron, and it made a dull crashing sound when it fell on the ground, and it weighed at least a hundred catties.

If there is no space, he really can't take such a heavy and large safe out of the house.

The whole body of the safe was black, and it was locked without accident.

Taking out the ax from the space, Xu Fugui found the position of the lock and hacked down hard.

"Chong!"

The impact of the ax and the iron door was extremely ear-piercing, the ax was also cracked, and there was a huge shock force from the tiger's mouth.

Regardless of feeling sorry for the axe, he continued to hack the locked door of the safe.

One, two, one more!
While chopping, he cursed Long Er, why buy such a good safe, it can't be opened even with a blow.

But the more he couldn't open it, the more he looked forward to it in his heart. The expectation of opening the blind box made him stronger and stronger.
