Hard work

Chapter 138 Thief

Lan Huaer freed some of the clear glutinous rice wine at home, mixed it with distiller's grains, and asked Zang Lang to send it to outsiders.

They haven't discussed whether to go to other villages when the time comes.Zang Lang scratched his face and whispered:
"Little lady, I'm going outside...they don't want to buy it."

Lan Hua'er froze for a moment before realizing that Zang Lang was talking about his own face.

She usually doesn't pay much attention to the wound on Zang Lang's face, and sometimes she even forgets that there is such a thing.Especially now that the people in the village are gradually getting familiar with Zang Lang, and they don't care so much about the scar on his face.So many times, Orchid forgets that this will become an obstacle.

But Zang Lang himself remembered it clearly, probably he still cared about the wound on his face in his heart.

It's not impossible to do this business, it's enough for the two of them to go outside together, but it will be hectic after all.

Lan Huaer also plans to go to the back mountain today, and ask Hong Huabai to see if the cottage wants wine for the New Year.

She locked the door, greeted the people around her, and walked up the back hill.As a result, halfway through the walk, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't brought any samples.Although it is said to be sold to acquaintances, this is the first time to distill wine by yourself. It is better to let others taste the taste.

Lan Hua'er patted her head, feeling that she really had a sudden convulsion, and hurried home to get some wine to take to the mountain for the people on the mountain to taste.

She had already walked to the side of the mountain, and when she walked around the house, she was a little too lazy to go back to the front door, so she walked directly from the mountain to the backyard.

As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she felt something was wrong.

When she left, she obviously locked the front and rear doors, but when she walked to the back door and pushed it casually, it actually pushed the door open.

If there were no thieves in the house before, she wouldn't doubt it at all, and she might mistakenly think that she forgot to lock the door.

But she clearly remembered that she locked the door before going out, and she even checked it.He also remembered the incident when Goudan came to meet the thief.At that time, I didn't hear Goudan say that the lock in front of the door was broken.

Now as soon as she pushed the door open, she suddenly thought, didn't the thief enter the house through the back door?

The doors in the village are all a bit casual, and they are said to be locked, but places like the back door are usually just tied with bolts, and they can be opened from the inside.If someone climbs the railing and enters the yard, they can really open the back door.

Lan Hua'er kept an eye out, and walked around the fence, and sure enough, she caught a glimpse of the doors of the houses inside being opened a crack.

She couldn't see the thief, but she was really taken aback, and thinking about Goudan getting injured by the thief when she entered the house, she became more careful, went around to the next house, and looked at the ground. He called the people in Tiesheng's house.

But that day all the men in their family had gone outside, even the elders were not at home, only Aru was left alone at home.When Lan Hua'er went over to tell her, she also panicked, hurriedly pulled Lan Hua'er, and asked:
"What can I do? There is something hidden in your house, can it be kept properly? This, I don't know what to do. If there are all men in the house, you can let them come back and steal it. My son was caught, and no one is at home now, so what should I do?"

Lan Hua'er thought for a while, first comforted the overwhelmed Aru, told her that everything in the house was well hidden, and there should be no problem in a while, and then said:

"Aru, don't go out, just hide in the backyard. Help me keep an eye on the door behind to see if the man has left. I'll go to the village and call Ah Lang, telling him to come back and catch the thief."

Aru thought about it, and felt that this was appropriate, so she nodded and agreed, and told Lan Huaer:

"Be careful yourself, hurry to the village and come back, don't delay too much."

Lan Huaer nodded, and said to Aru:

"You should also be careful, don't go outside. I don't know who is there. There was a guy who could break Goudan's head. You are a little lady, and you are definitely not safe. You close the door It’s closed, just watch. Even if the person comes out from inside, don’t worry, it’s best if you can recognize the face, even if you can’t, don’t be too impulsive.”

Aru nodded, said, "I know", and urged Lan Hua'er to go out quickly.

Lan Huaer asked many people in the village, and finally found Zang Lang who was delivering wine in the village.Seeing her anxious face, the people in the village asked her if something happened.

But she thought that the situation was still unclear at the moment, and she didn't know what was going on in the house. She felt that it was not easy to tell the people in the village, so she just said it was all right and asked Zang Lang, all the way to the village. Look inside.

Aozi Village is not very big, Lan Huaer found Zang Lang after searching for a while.

When Zang Lang saw her, he had a very surprised expression on his face.

Because they had already talked about it before, Lan Hua'er was going to the mountain at noon, and they had prepared some food for Zang Lang at home in advance.Seeing her coming, Zang Lang quickly handed over the wine to the family in front, collected the money in a hurry, went up to him and asked:

"Why did the little lady come here?"

Lan Hua'er looked around, and said hello to the wine buyer, then dragged Zang Lang aside, and whispered to him:
"There seems to be a thief in the house. I... There was a thief in our house before, and my younger brother met him, and my younger brother even broke his head. But it was many years ago. Just now When I went out to the middle of the mountain, I remembered that there was something left, and I wanted to go home to get it. I didn’t expect to go back and look, but found that the back door of the house was open. I remember that it was locked before I went out, and I saw There is a figure inside. I dare not go in by myself, so I can only hurry over and call you. Have you given away much?"

When Zang Lang heard this, he was taken aback, pulled Lan Hua'er to look up and down, and then said:

"I just sent a few. Little lady, you didn't meet a thief, did you get hurt?"

Lan Hua'er shook her head, "I didn't enter the door at all. Oh, don't talk here. Hurry up and go to my house, I'm afraid it will take too long, and the thief will steal something and run away. Before I come out, I talked with Aru next to me Tell her, let her look at the backyard of our house to see if she can see how the thief came out."

Zang Lang nodded, picked up two wine barrels, and followed Lan Hua'er towards home.

Lan Hua'er took a look at his wine barrel, and told him that it would be faster for him to put it in the next person's house than to carry it back like this.

But Zang Lang shook his head and said earnestly while running:

"It can't be put outside. It's not heavy, and I can run fast with it."

Lan Hua'er knew that he was strong and the distance was not too far, so she just let him go.

Moreover, Zang Lang is tall and has long legs, so a one-step boast is almost equal to Lan Huaer's two-steps.He was physically fit, and Lan Hua'er was panting behind, almost unable to keep up with Zang Lang's speed.

On the way, I often meet people in the village. Seeing them rushing to the house like this, they will come to ask a question.

Zang Lang didn't talk to the people in the village at first, but now he was in a hurry and ran over, and he didn't talk to those people.

Lan Hua'er ran almost to death by herself, almost all her strength was spent on running, when someone asked her something, she could only shake her head weakly towards him, she didn't even have the energy to say "it's okay", so she just started He ran past them.

The people behind couldn't figure it out, so they turned around and chatted with others:
"The daughter of the Zhao family and the attendants don't know what happened today. They ran around the village in a panic. Those who didn't know thought there were vicious dogs chasing after them."

Zang Lang ran very fast, and when Lan Hua'er saw the back door of the house from a distance, Zang Lang had already put down the wine barrels, took a pole, pushed open the yard door and walked in.

Lan Hua'er felt like her heart was about to jump out of her running, her throat was full of fishy sweetness, she couldn't tell whether the taste of blood in her mouth was something else, even her eyes were dark.It's a bit like when she was sick before, she felt dizzy and didn't know if she stepped on the ground properly.If it wasn't for holding on to the fence next to it, it is estimated that it would fall down immediately.

She was fainting, but she heard someone calling her next to her:
"Alan...Alan, what's wrong with you, Alan, are you dizzy?"

"No, it's okay, it's just... huh... just running... huh... a little... too fast..."

Lan Hua'er managed to hold back these words, when she felt someone reaching out to support her, whispering in her ear:

"I saw your family, Zang Alang, went inside. I kept watching, but I didn't see anyone going outside. The thief is probably still inside your house. I saw the man went in, and I saw you again." You dared to come out to help you when you looked like you were about to collapse. You, you go to my house to rest?"

Lan Hua'er listened for a while before turning her head around and realized that it was Aru who was supporting her.Black and bright white spots still appeared alternately in front of her eyes, she shook her head, but the feeling of hyperemia still did not disappear, she said:
"Can't...can't block...by the door, you hold me..."

She originally wanted to ask Aru to help her to stand aside for a while - she couldn't sit down at this time, if she sat down, her blood vessels would burst.But before she could finish her sentence, she heard the scream of a strange man from inside the room.

The scream came very suddenly and somewhat high-pitched, which startled both Lan Hua'er and Aru.

Immediately afterwards, the screaming became hoarse, and replaced with low-pitched cursing, which spread continuously.

　Thank you, Cheng Ranming, for the reward of the peace talisman!Hey hey!
