After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 216: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain 2

Shen Jizu comforted himself, and the two of them swaggered towards the main house. Passing by the flowers and plants in the yard, Shen Rou was so jealous that she picked some of them and put them on the ground to step on.

The two men bent their bodies and gently pushed open the door of the main house. The door of the main house was not closed. They looked at each other and were overjoyed.

However, just when they thought they could enter the main house smoothly, as soon as the door opened, a basin of incense ash suddenly poured out from the door frame.

Lin Ting also filled half a washbasin with chili water, which was made by crushing fresh chili peppers that she had crushed and soaked in the water.

A basin of pepper water was poured on the two men. Lin Ting also took a door lock stick in her hand and hit the two men. She also chose the most painful part of the human body to hit them.

He kept beating them while shouting, "Thieves, kill you thieves... kill you..."

The tone was terrified, but Shen Rou and Shen Jizu were both blinded by cigarette ash and had pepper water splashed on them. The more they rubbed their eyes, the hotter they felt. It hurt so much that they couldn't tell east from west.

"Oh, stop hitting my eyes, my eyes..."

Shen Rou screamed even louder. The pepper spray not only hurt her eyes, but also made the rashes and wounds on her body hurt a lot.

"Help, help me, I'm dying."

After seeing the two rolling on the ground, unable to move, Lin Ting turned around, picked up Shen Wanyi, and rushed towards the door.

He shouted to the neighbor's house not far away: "There is a thief, there is a thief... catch the thief, catch the thief..."

Everyone was not rich, so they attached great importance to every little thing they had, and what they hated most were thieves.

Besides, every family has harvested rice and brought it home. What if it is stolen by thieves?

Lin Tingcai shouted for a while. It was the middle of the night and all the good family members turned on the lights. They also called their neighbors and were determined to catch the thief.

If a thief is caught in the village and beaten to death, the government will not be able to do anything about it.

All of a sudden, all the able-bodied men, women, young and old in the village came, each holding a stick in their hands, and walked towards where Lin Ting was.

"Lin Ting, where is the thief?"

Tian Wang was the first to rush to the Shen residence. He was tall and strong. Jiang Lan and the village chief also came.

"Brother Tian, ​​the thief is in my room. I blinded him with incense ash. Come on, everyone, go catch him."

Shen Wanyi hugged Lin Ting's neck tightly, she didn't know what was happening.

"Well, he actually dared to steal from our Wushan Village. Let's see if we can't punish him."

The village chief and Tian Wang led people into the yard of Shen's house, and some people were guarding outside. They had to catch the thief tonight no matter what.

Shen Jizu and Shen Rou both rolled on the ground in pain and were soon dragged out by the villagers.

The two men were in such a mess that the villagers didn't recognize them. They only knew that they were thieves that everyone hated. As soon as they were pulled out, they were beaten up by the villagers again.

The two men were screaming in pain at first, but were eventually beaten unconscious.

"I'm stunned. How dare you come and steal things like this?"

Aunt Jiang lit a lamp in the yard and looked at the two people lying on the ground. Shen Jizu and Shen Rou's bodies and heads were covered with incense ash.

He was injured and there was blood everywhere.

"Tian Wang, come and take a look, what did these two thieves steal?"

Lin Ting also rushed over, holding the child, her face full of shock.

Tian Wang took out Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu's best clothes and a jade belt from the two people.

Everyone has seen these things being worn by Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu, and now they appear in the thief's cloth bag.

"Look, village chief, it really was a thief. Fortunately, Lin Ting and Shen Wanyi were not hurt."

When the village chief saw these things, he was so angry that he kicked the two thieves.

"These two people were hanged today from the old locust tree at the end of the village. Let's ask their families to check if anything is missing. I wonder if they have any accomplices."

After saying this, the village chief realized that it seemed that only Lin Ting and Shen Wanyi were in the Shen residence. Where were Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu? Didn't Qingzhou also come back?

Could it be that they were harmed by these two thieves?

The village chief's face turned green with fright, and he turned around and asked Lin Ting.

"Lin Ting, where are your family members? Where are your parents-in-law and Qingzhou?"

Sister-in-law Yunyun also came over. She came to help Lin Ting hold Shen Wanyi. Lin Ting must have been scared too.

"Village Chief, Qingzhou and my father-in-law were called to Old Shen's house by Shen Zuxiong. It seems that Mother Shen is seriously ill."

Jiang Lan held the candlelight and approached Shen Jizu and Shen Rou. The more she looked, the more familiar they looked. Finally, she widened her eyes.

"This, this, this... this thief... seems to be, Shen Jizu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and took a few more candles and oil lamps.

Someone also used a handful of grass to wipe the dust off the faces of the two people, and it turned out to be Shen Jizu and Shen Rou.

"It's really Shen Jizu. Doesn't he call himself a scholar? How could he do such a theft? It really proves what they always say: an insult to civility."

Someone in the village talked about it, and at the same time became disdainful of Shen Jizu.

"That's right. He's no longer a scholar. He and his daughter are thieves. There's evidence. The stolen goods were found on them. They're just thieves..."

Another person said, "So Shen Jizu is a thief. Then could it be that he was responsible for the stolen vegetables and hoes from our house? That hoe could be sold for more than ten coins."

Things used to be lost frequently in their village. Some people forgot to collect their clothes after hanging them out to dry, and they were all stolen.

Now everyone suspects that it was Shen Jizu's family who did it.

There was such a big commotion in the village that Shen Qingzhou and Shen Dali hurried over from Old Shen's house. As soon as they arrived, they saw that their yard was full of people.

Shen Qingzhou rushed into the crowd and saw that Lin Ting and Shen Wanyi were fine. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to relax at all.

"Lin Ting, how are you and Wan Yi? I heard that a thief broke into our yard?"

This thief could hurt people. Shen Qingzhou felt so regretful. Why did he leave Lin Ting and Wan Yi at home? If anything happened, he would never forgive himself in his life.

Lin Ting shook his head at him: "I'm fine, but this thief, take a look at it yourself, after you see it, you may understand something."

He was still worried, so he looked carefully at Lin Ting's body, then at Shen Wanyi. Seeing that they were both fine, he went to look at the person on the ground.

The faces of Shen Jizu and Shen Rou had been wiped clean with grass by the villagers, and he could recognize them at a glance.

In an instant, he understood everything that happened tonight. Mother Shen's illness might be real, or it might be a self-torture tactic.

The purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and Xu had been asking whether everyone in their family had finished visiting Shen's mother, which was also to facilitate the actions of the father and daughter.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, it was a premeditated plan by their family. If Lin Ting hadn't discovered it, who knows what would have happened.

"Village chief, since he's a thief, treat him the way the village treats thieves."
