"Yu Baiyunxi, the thief is here!" Lu Qingtang shouted immediately and subconsciously threw the bowl in his hand towards the thief.
The thief knew he was trapped and quickly dodged the bowl's attack. Just as he stood up to escape, a large net fell from the sky and covered the thief.
Lu Qingtang immediately shouted in the direction of Yu Bai and the others: "Caught, come out quickly!"
Yu Bai and Shui Yunxi rushed out immediately. The three of them stepped forward and took a closer look to see where the thief was. The net was also torn to pieces, but the people were gone.
Just when the three of them were confused, Lu Qingtang suddenly felt a faint murderous aura coming from behind. He turned around and saw that the thief appeared behind him holding a knife. He raised the knife and struck at Lu Qingtang. Lu Qingtang quickly ducked back and watched as the knife struck the tree behind him.
A large hole was immediately chopped off the trunk of the tree. If this happened to him, he would not be hacked to death.
Lu Qingtang felt happy for a moment and immediately turned over and got up from the ground.
At this time, Yu Bai and Shui Yunxi were already fighting with the thieves. The lights in each room were lit one after another, and they all heard the fighting.
Seeing that Yu Bai and the others were fighting equally with the thieves, Lu Qingtang wanted to help a group of his own people, so he took out a paper bag from his sleeve.
The head here is filled with quicklime, which can be used for self-defense and sneak attack.
She watched the battle carefully, and when she saw Yu Baishuiyunxi and the thief separated, she immediately threw the lime in the paper bag at the thief.
"Ah~"
The thief screamed, immediately dropped the knife in his hand, squatted on the ground and covered his eyes.
Lu Qingtang immediately reminded him: "If you still want your eyes, don't rub them with your hands. I can't guarantee that your eyes can be saved!"
She just wanted to bring the thief to justice, but she didn't want to hurt him. After all, he just stole something and didn't hurt anyone at all, so he could be treated leniently.
After listening to Lu Qingtang's words, the thief probably believed it. He put his hands down and groped on the ground with his eyes closed.
Lu Qingtang realized what he was going to do, so he reminded Yu Bai, "Yu Bai, grab his knife back quickly!"
Yu Bai quickly stretched out a leg, and with a sweeping kick, he drew back the thief's knife.
"Without the knife, let's see how you can resist! Why not follow me to the Yamen, I won't kill you with some worthless things." Lu Qingtang looked at the thief with a proud look on his face.
However, the thief sneered after hearing this, "So what if I don't have a knife? I can defeat you bastards with my bare hands!"
As he spoke, he immediately attacked in the direction of Shui Yunxi. Shui Yunxi quickly dodged back and almost missed being hit by him, and took several steps back. When Yu Bai saw this, he immediately stepped forward, but he was still no match. In fact, he was even more powerful than before.
Lu Qingtang stood aside and was dumbfounded. How could this guy keep getting braver as he fought?
Seeing Yu Bai and Shui Yunxi retreating steadily, the thief was about to hurt them. Lu Qingtang didn't have time to think too much, picked up the knife and stepped forward to slash at the thief.
The thief was very busy. He wanted to attack Yu Bai and be wary of Shui Yunxi, but he didn't notice Lu Qingtang sneaking up on him with a knife. Out of instinct, he quickly grasped the blade with his hand, and the white blade suddenly squeezed into the flesh.
Immediately, the blood from the thief's palm dripped down the knife. Lu Qingtang was shocked. This was the second time she saw a white blade taken with bare hands. The first time was when she encountered medical trouble. In order to protect herself, her male best friend also grabbed the kitchen knife with bare hands.
This scene was very familiar. Lu Qingtang thought about it for a while, but was suddenly pushed hard on his shoulder. Lu Qingtang stumbled and fell to the ground.
Then, the thief turned into a black shadow and limped away into the night.
Yu Bai and Shui Yunxi quickly helped Lu Qingtang up from the ground and asked her if she was okay. The scene just now was still in Lu Qingtang's mind, and she shook her head numbly.
After a long effort, they managed to get the chicken thief to escape.
But he was injured and left a bloodstain in the courtyard, so the three of them struck while the iron was hot and decided to search for the thief along the bloodstain at dawn.
Apart from anything else, if the thief returns to the village again and intensifies his harm to the villagers, the gain will outweigh the loss.
At daybreak, Yu Bai left the farmhouse to protect the female family members who had given birth, and Lu Qingtang and Shui Yunxi followed the blood trail up the mountain. The mountain was neither high nor big, and it took less than half an hour to climb to the top. However, the bloodstains disappeared in a patch of grass that was half a person tall.
Lu Qingtang observed the last trace of blood that disappeared, and then said to Shui Yunxi, "The thief is probably nearby. Let's search carefully to avoid being attacked by him."
Shui Yunxi nodded, and the two of them split up. Shui Yunxi circled the mountain wall next to him, while Lu Qingtang fiddled with the wormwood as tall as one person.
The wormwood is tall and dense. It would be easy for a thief to hide here. Lu Qingtang was on guard while looking for the thief.
The thief's martial arts skills are quite high, but why did he choose to be a thief? Even if he doesn't serve the country, he can still find a legitimate professional job and eat a lot of chickens that day.
At this moment, Lu Qingtang heard a noise and felt a little nervous in his heart. Lu Qingtang shouted towards the mountain wall: "Yun Xi! Yun Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Shui Yunxi didn't respond to her, which made Lu Qingtang feel uneasy. She probably guessed that something bad had happened to him.
But in order not to alarm the snake, Lu Qingtang continued to shout, "Shui Yunxi, where are you!"
As she spoke, she quietly walked towards the place where Shui Yunxi disappeared just now. She raised the stick in her hand and groped around the edge of the mountain wall. As she walked, she saw a cave appearing in the mountain wall. Shui Yunxi was lying at the entrance of the cave, looking like he was unconscious.
Lu Qingtang's heart immediately beat faster, and even the palms holding the stick were sweating. She took two steps forward bravely, and saw a man in dark clothes standing in front of the cave entrance.
He was tall and fair-skinned, his eyes were tightly closed, his upper and lower eyelids were red, and there was no color on his face.
Judging from his figure, he must be the chicken thief last night. His eyes were hit with quicklime and he still can't open them.
Isn't it just right? He can't see anything now, so Lu Qingtang can deal with him more easily.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Qingtang immediately raised the stick in his hand and hit the man in black. The man in black did not notice Lu Qingtang and immediately received a sap. However, Lu Qingtang's strength was limited, and the stick did not hit an important position, only hitting his shoulder.
The man in black subconsciously ran away, and Lu Qingtang pursued him. He continued to chase with a stick. However, he did not expect that after only a few steps, the man in black fell on the hillside. He rolled down the hillside several times, and finally stopped after hitting a tree stump, motionless.
