While sleeping until midnight, Yang Ruoqing suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard next door.
It’s the voices of my father and brother!
She got out of bed in one swoop, put on her clothes as quickly as possible, and before leaving the house, she stuck the black gold whip around her waist.
As soon as he left the house, he saw Tuoba Xian from the opposite room also coming out with her hair disheveled, her eyes a little panicked.
During this time, the family was in a state of panic. Her mother-in-law, Tuoba Xian, kept silent and pretended to be calm, but in fact, her son's safety was the most important concern in her heart.
She is someone who has experienced these political turmoils, and she understands that if one foot is not stepped right, it may be heaven and hell!
"Mom, I'm going to my mother's house next door to see what's going on. Don't panic. Go back to the house and be with the two children. I'll come back and tell you in detail."
Yang Ruoqing quickly comforted Tuoba Xian.
Tuoba Xian nodded, "Qing'er, you have to be careful too!"
"Don't worry, my skills haven't dropped all day!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, closed the door and disappeared into the night outside.
It took too much time to walk through the front door, so Yang Ruoqing climbed over the wall directly to her parents' yard next door.
In the backyard, Yang Huazhong held a torch in his hand, and Lao Yangtou held a pole in his hand. Not far away, sisters Xiaohua and Xiaoduo supported Sun. Cui'er hid behind Sun. Everyone was watching from a distance. Looking at the person here who was subdued by Xiao An.
The man was wearing the clothes and shoes of a farmer, and his nose and mouth were covered with a black triangle scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Xiao An was pushed to the ground, groaning and struggling.
Fourteen-year-old Xiao An has inherited the stature of the old Yang family men and has grown to a height of 1.67 meters.
And because his brother-in-law Luo Fengtang took him to practice boxing and kicking since he was a child, Xiao An was pursuing the goal of becoming a martial arts scholar before this big commotion happened.
So subduing a villager now is no big deal.
"You are so brave, you thieves, how dare you come to my house to steal things? Humph, you are really short-sighted!"
Xiao An cursed and reached out to pull the black scarf covering the villager's face, but Old Yangtou stopped him.
"Don't worry!" the old man shouted. Xiao An paused with his fingers and looked up at Old Yang with some confusion.
Yang Huazhong and Sun also looked surprised.
Old Yang looked at the man on the ground and said with a complicated expression: "This is your first time stealing. If we rip off the thing on your face, the window paper will be broken. From now on, you will I don’t have the shame to hang out in this village.”
"Our Lao Yang family never kills everyone when doing things. You can go away. Just pretend that tonight's incident never happened. But in the future, it's best not to have any ideas about our Lao Yang family. We are all fellow villagers, and we should leave each other a message." Face!"
"Master, this thief..." Xiao An was puzzled. As soon as he opened his mouth, Old Yang Tou stopped him with his eyes.
"Listen to me, let him go!"
Xiao An was very unhappy. His fingers were right next to the thief's face, and he really wanted to see which one it was.
He looked at Yang Huazhong and Sun for help, and Yang Huazhong was also full of confusion.
"Xiao An, listen to your master and let him go first," Yang Huazhong said.
Xiao An had no choice but to get up from the thief. The thief jumped up and ran away from the pried open door of the backyard without even looking back.
Xiao An was very dissatisfied and said to Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong: "After finally catching him, he should be sent to some village elders, or let all the villagers see clearly that this person has bad character and unclean hands and feet. "
"Everyone is on guard, why, why are they letting go? What a waste of effort!"
Looking at his angry grandson, Old Yangtou sighed and said: "Hey, keep a line in your behavior so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Some people become thieves, maybe on a whim or because of their own obsession."
"When we give others a step down, we also give ourselves a step up."
"What's more, our old Yang family is on the cusp of a storm right now. Most of the people in the village are avoiding us for fear of getting involved with us."
"Even if we take the person to see the village elder and escort him to the streets, not many people will stand on our side and speak for us."
"You might as well accuse us of maliciously slandering us. At this time of crisis, we as a family should try our best to keep a low profile and calm down the trouble!"
Lao Yang's words came to this point, and Xiao An didn't know what to say.
Naturally, the young and energetic young man couldn't stand his handling of this behavior. However, his parents acquiesced, and his sister was not here. The thief took the opportunity and ran away, so what could he do?
"Sleep, sleep!" Xiao An went back to his room to sleep with a dark face.
In order to show his anger, he deliberately slammed the door heavily when entering the house.
Old Yangtou looked away from Xiao An and said to Yang Huazhong and Sun: "You all go back to your room and sleep. I will guard you tonight. Logically no one will dare to come."
Yang Huazhong said hurriedly: "Dad, how can we let you watch us sleeping? If you want to watch, it is your son who will watch. You must go back to the house and sleep."
Old Yang shook his head: "As this person gets older, he sleeps less. I can't sleep anymore. I might as well wander around in the front and back yards. You can sleep!"
Yang Huazhong had no choice but to tell Mrs. Sun, "You all go back to the house and sleep. I'll stay with our father here. You can sleep peacefully, there won't be any more thieves."
Mrs. Sun nodded a few times and returned to the house.
"Mom, I can't sleep alone. I'll go sleep in your room first, and then I'll go back to my own room when dad comes back, okay?" Xiao Hua said.
She knew Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun must have been frightened tonight and would not be able to sleep if she was left alone in the room.
If he directly said that he would go to Sun's company, he would definitely be rejected.
It's better to say that you are scared and want someone to accompany you.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Sun heard this, she nodded without saying anything, "Okay, then come here and let us keep you company."
Sun's eyes fell on Xiaoduo and Cui'er again: "Would you two come over too, so we can squeeze in?"
Xiaoduo smiled and shook his head, "My father and I are both guarding the yard. I'm not afraid at all."
Cui'er also shook her head, "I'm not afraid either."
Just like that, the women went back to their houses to sleep.
Old Yangtou and Yang Huazhong, father and son, smoked dry cigarettes, made hot tea, and sat under the eaves to do their homework.
…
Behind Yang Huazhong's house is a large field. The thief who was released from his house ran all the way along the field ridge. He ran to a high field ridge in front of him and jumped down.
Under the high field ridge, there is another field, and there are two other people squatting there.
Seeing the man who jumped down, the two people quickly stood up and looked behind him to make sure no one was following him. The two of them quickly asked the man who ran over: "Three guns, how are you? Did you succeed?"
The man named Sanpao pulled off the black cloth on his face and said angrily: "What a fool, that brat named Xiao An from Yang Laosan's family has a lot of strength and some boxing skills, and he can do it in a few or two strokes." Beat me to the ground!"
