Seeing the bald man running away regardless, Li Dadao was so angry that his mouth tilted to one side.

Once you get to the door of the house, go in and find a knife. If you ask questions, you can find out the names of the man and woman and where they live.

If you sneak in again, you can kill them.

After taking revenge, you can still make meritorious deeds.

The bald guy ran away?

Li Dadao wanted to go it alone, but he just took a step forward.

A heartbreaking pain hit me under the sole of my foot.

It made every step he took feel like he was stepping on a knife's edge.

Those two people, male and female, both seemed to be capable.

Since he is disabled, even if he is found, he probably won't be able to kill him, and he will have to be rescued.

Forget it, let's go.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years!

He chased the bald man unwillingly.

In the room, Yang Ruoqing suddenly opened her eyes.

What noise?

The moment her consciousness returned to clarity, she stood up from the bed and came to the door.

His ears were pressed into the crack of the door.

Are the footsteps fading away?

And the sound of the backyard gate?

thief?

She picked up an iron rod that Luo Fengtang had given her for self-defense and quietly came to the yard.

At a glance, I saw the mess in the yard.

Crossbow arrows scattered on the ground, iron clips and bamboo boards that were touched under the wall not far away...

There really is a thief!

He picked up the iron rod and chased him out of the courtyard gate, but he only caught a glimpse of two vague figures, disappearing into the woods at the end of the field.

She narrowed her eyes coldly.

If you are from this village, shouldn't you run in the direction of the woods?

What is the background of the other party?

Could it be someone from a nearby village?

Judging from the body shape, they look like two men.

After entering the woods, I couldn't catch up with him.

She returned to the courtyard and closed the door.

He also tidied up the ‘battlefield’ on the ground to prevent others from getting clues.

There is no shortage of pigs in Lao Yang's pigsty and her own pigsty.

The old cow was also there, and the hens and roosters in the chicken coop were not making any noise.

Didn’t these thieves have enough time to succeed?

Or is their target not these poultry and livestock?

Countless speculations were swirling in her mind.

When I passed my parents' house, I actually felt a little scared.

Fortunately, Tang Yazi set this trap in advance. Otherwise, if the thief had evil intentions and broke into his parents' house, the consequences would be disastrous!

…

The next day, it was sunny.

The family washed and had breakfast as usual, and discussed the things to be done during the day at the dinner table.

The atmosphere is as warm as ever.

Yang Ruoqing had a consistent expression on her face, but she had something on her mind.

My father, mother, and younger brother all knew that a trap was set up in the yard to prevent thieves.

But they didn't know that just last night, thieves had visited.

Yang Ruoqing didn't want them to panic, so she kept this matter a secret.

It wasn't until Luo Fengtang came to pick her up after breakfast that he pulled Luo Fengtang to the corner and told her what happened last night.

When Luo Fengtang heard this, he also frowned.

"There really is someone with evil intentions!"

He said in a deep voice, coming to the edge of the trap.

After checking the footprints on the ground and the clues left on the mechanism, I immediately figured out the scene of climbing over the wall last night.

"Two thieves, one was stabbed in the foot by a bamboo board, and the other was bitten by an iron clamp," he said.

Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. I see the blood on the bamboo board, it's scary."

"That guy is quite unlucky. The soles of his feet are probably pierced with holes," she said.

Luo Fengtang sneered: "This is called suffering for yourself."

"Qing'er, I was just thinking, what is the purpose of these two thieves sneaking in?"

He pondered.

Obviously, suspicions arose from clues.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I've been thinking about this too. It doesn't look like it was done by people from our village."

He thought silently.

Suddenly, Blacksmith Luo's surprised voice came from outside the yard.

"Hey, why is there a shoe in the pond? Did someone fall in?"

In the yard, the two of them looked at each other and seemed to have thought of something.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Let's go and take a look!"

Soon, I ran to the pond.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Luo Fengtang asked Blacksmith Luo.

Blacksmith Luo was holding a dirty shoe in his hand and said, "I came over to check the pond and saw a gap here, and a shoe fell on the side."

"I was afraid that someone had fallen, but when I looked, I didn't see anyone. It was strange."

Luo Fengtang took the shoe and said to Blacksmith Luo: "It's okay if there's no one in the pond. Maybe it's a prank played by the children. It's okay."

Blacksmith Luo nodded, mumbled and went to the other side to check.

Here, Luo Fengtang walked back to Yang Ruoqing, "There are footprints in the pond, and they look about the same size as those left on the bamboo board."

"It seems that these two thieves came from the woods, passed by the pond, and fell. They got up again and went to your house!"

"People in our village all know that there is a pond here, but the two of them are probably not from our village and are not familiar with the route."

After analyzing this, his face became a little solemn.

For people from other villages to come and climb over the courtyard wall of Qing'er's house in the middle of the night, this is a serious matter.

Yang Ruoqing also looked a little gloomy.

He turned around and looked at the forest and the rolling mountains and peaks connected behind the forest.

"Do you think it could be a bandit?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang's eyebrows tightened.

"Heifeng Village is separated from us by seven or eight hills, so it shouldn't be." He said.

These words were meant to prevent her from panicking.

But he did not rule out this possibility.

"No matter what happens, I will reinforce the trap tonight. Once a thief comes, he will be captured alive!" he said solemnly.

…

Soon, it was night again.

Yang Ruoqing lay back on the bed, but couldn't close her eyes for a long time.

In the next room, her father Yang Huazhong's snoring could be heard clearly, but she raised her ears to catch the movement outside the house.

The first night passed uneventfully.

I woke up the next morning and checked the mechanism. It was fine and there were no signs of being touched.

The second night, the third night...

Still safe and sound.

However, she did not dare to let down her guard.

Bandits are cruel.

If it is a spy sent by bandits to the village to inquire about the situation, you must be even more careful.

A slight oversight may lead to irreversible consequences.

The fourth night, the fifth night...

She was so alert every night.

In the morning, while having breakfast, Yang Ruoqing yawned nonstop.

Mrs. Sun put the hot vegetable porridge and egg pancakes on the table. Seeing Yang Ruoqing like this, the woman was surprised.

"What's been going on with Qing'er these days? You came back home early at night, but why are the dark circles under your eyes showing up?"

asked Sun.

"Yes? No?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and touched her face.

Hey, I am highly concentrated every night and don’t sleep well. It’s no wonder I don’t have dark circles under my eyes!

While she was eating, Luo Fengtang came to pick her up.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Sun was even more surprised.

"Tangyazi, are you sick? Why is your face so pale? Are your eyes bloodshot?" the woman asked.

Yang Ruoqing followed the sound and looked towards Luo Fengtang.
