Chapter 27 Desperate

On New Year's Eve, Xi Chun stayed at home alone to watch the New Year's Eve. Tonight, he could not rest until after midnight, and every household stayed indoors to warm themselves by the fire.

Xichun checked all the doors, closed them, and then opened the windows. If the charcoal she burned caused carbon monoxide poisoning, it would be troublesome.

No one talked, and there was no mobile phone or computer to look at, so Xi Chun could only write and play there.

When it was over, the sound of firecrackers rang out in every household. Xichun also took out a bunch of firecrackers he bought and started crackling in the yard.

Xichun was about to take a rest, but for some reason, he felt very panicked and couldn't fall asleep. Xichun tossed and turned on the bed and sat up after a while.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a noise outside, which sounded very much like human footsteps. Xichun did not dare to make a sound. She thought for a while, the doors and windows of the room where she slept had just been closed, and there was no charcoal. If you dare to burn it, the door is closed from the inside. If it is really a thief, he will not be able to get in for a while.

She took out the kitchen knife from under the pillow, and her hands were shaking slightly when she held it in her hand.

After a while, I heard a person entering the main room, as if he was rummaging for something. Xichun didn't know how many people there were. At this time, it was when everyone was sleeping, so not many people were still watching, and she didn't know. Dare to shout.

It was clearly winter, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on Xichun's back. She was afraid that those people would suddenly break into the house.

After she calmed down, she prepared to go out from the back of her room. She had asked Uncle Zhang to get a back door so that she could go to the backyard easily, but now it came in handy.

When those people started rummaging through boxes and cabinets in another room, they suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers coming from outside. She didn't know whose house set off firecrackers at this moment, but this was a good opportunity. Even if she opened the door, the thieves wouldn't be able to hear it. When he arrived, Xichun made a quick decision, opened the back door and hid in the back of the toilet.

When she saw that those people didn't come after her, she climbed over the fence of the vegetable garden in the backyard.

He went straight to Uncle Zhang's house. Uncle Zhang was watching the New Year's Eve. He asked the children to go to bed. While he and his mother were talking, they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it? Why are you here now? Is it a happy spring?" Aunt Zhang also heard the sound and came over in confusion and asked who it was.

"Aunt Zhang, this is Xichun, a thief has entered my house." After Xichun explained the matter clearly in one sentence, Aunt Zhang quickly opened the door.

"Daddy, if there is a thief, come quickly. Come quickly, call Qiangzi too." When Aunt Zhang saw her and touched her hand, her hand had no warmth at all. She didn't know whether it was because she was cold or because she was scared. .

"What, there's a thief?" Uncle Zhang didn't expect that there was a thief on this New Year's Eve, so he suddenly picked up the hatchet he had at hand.

"Yes, I ran out just now while the sound of firecrackers was sounding. They should have noticed that I ran away soon. I don't know how many people there are."

"I'm going to wake up Liu Laohan and catch the thief." Uncle Zhang made a quick decision and took Qiangzi to call for him.

After Xichun Ye and Aunt Zhang closed the door, they went to the village to call for people. It was a bit far from Xichun's house, so they shouted loudly. After a while, after hearing that there was a thief, many people in the village came out.When they arrived at Xichun's house, they saw darkness everywhere. Uncle Zhang and the others didn't know exactly how many thieves there were, so they had to squat outside. When they saw more people coming, they raided the area and surrounded the yard.

"Thieves inside the door, come out quickly. You have been surrounded. If you don't come out, we will go in." The village chief was also woken up. He was standing at the door and shouting, not sure if there was anyone inside.

"Quick, the thief is running this way." Someone shouted in the dark, and everyone ran in that direction.

"I'll beat you to death. I'll beat you thieves to death." The villagers hate these bandits the most. Whenever they hear the slightest sign of trouble, they will come to investigate for a long time, and then they will steal things while you are relaxing.

There was a family in the village who had just bought a cow, and they were targeted before they could raise the cow. They stared at his house for several days, and finally seized the opportunity. While the male owner was snoring, he cut him open with a saw. The family closed the cattle pen gate and stole the cattle. Fortunately, they found it in time and finally found the cattle in the deep mountains and forests in the direction of the cattle.

When the village chief saw their posture, he was worried that he would beat them to death, so he persuaded everyone to leave and tied up the two people with ropes.

Their faces were covered with black cloth, and they were obviously experienced criminals. When the cloth was removed from their faces, no one recognized them.

"These two people will be locked up in the ancestral hall tonight. They will be interrogated after the first day of the Lunar New Year. They will be separated and locked up. Don't give them a chance." The village chief announced the punishment for the two people.

"Thank you to the village chief and uncles for your help today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch these thieves. I will thank you all tomorrow." Xichun stood up and thanked those who were willing to help her.

"Xichun, you are from our village. If anything happens, just call us for help. Don't be so polite. Everyone is tired today. Let's go home and rest." The village chief stood up and said.

After everyone left, Xichun told the village chief that they must be detained separately and not give them a chance to see each other and make confessions. Moreover, she was worried that the burglary was related to the villagers, so Xichun suggested to the village chief. Interrogate secretly first.

"Xichun, you have a good idea. You were scared tonight. Don't worry. I will handle this matter. If they dare to steal anything in my territory, I will teach them a lesson." The village chief nodded. , and also asked people to take the two of them to find a place to lock them up.

"Xichun, I will sleep with you tonight, don't be afraid. Hey, you kid is really lucky. If you fall asleep, it will be really dangerous. Those people are desperate. I don't know what they will do. Things come up."

Aunt Zhang felt extremely scared when she thought about this. If she encountered it, she might not be able to escape. Fortunately, the string of firecrackers helped her.

"Tomorrow I will find the house that set off firecrackers. I really want to thank you. This string of firecrackers really saved me." Paul, this also made her feel that there were indeed many inconveniences in living in a remote place, especially when she was alone.

The two of them chatted and didn't fall asleep until almost dawn. They simply didn't do anything today. It was worthwhile to sleep in occasionally.

After Xichun got up, Aunt Zhang had already gone home. Xichun took the things to the village chief's house and wanted to hear the situation. By the way, he asked who were there last night. There were many people in the village and it was dark at night. She worried something was missing.

"Those two people have already been recruited. They said they heard people say that you made money and lived alone, so they took advantage of everyone else to go to bed and went to your house to steal the money you had hidden." The village chief knew that this matter might not be that simple, but both of them gave the same confession. It seemed that they were repeat offenders.
