Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 23
Time passed slowly.

The two figures on the threshing floor approached the corn pile and looked around warily.

When he got closer, he immediately took out the bag from his waist, one person held it while the other person quickly bent down to put the corn cobs in it.

Yao Weijun opened the door gently and stepped out silently.

He held the shovel in his hand and came to a short distance behind the two of them in a roundabout way.

Just when he was about to take action, his face suddenly turned cold and he took back his steps.

At this time, he noticed a detail, that is, there were several empty pockets hanging on the waists of the two men. It was obvious that they were not just stealing a bag and leaving.

"Either there is an accomplice in the dark, or there is a car parked far away, otherwise there is no need to prepare so many bags!"

Yao Weijun quickly wondered whether to drive away the two men now, or wait for them to load the car with the tools of the crime.

The first task of keeping vigil at the threshing floor is to ensure food safety. Of course, if these thieves can be caught, it will be a great contribution to the village. If anything happens in the future, it will be much easier to find the production team leader or the village party secretary.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw one of them raise his head and look around, and then silently pointed to the packed pocket of the other person.

The man understood, picked up his full bag, and left the threshing floor.

Yao Weijun looked at the man who was still busy loading bags, thought for a moment, and quickly followed.

Even though the man in front was carrying a bag, he was so nervous that he didn't walk slowly at all. He turned around and quickly reached the roadside.

There is a half-person-high thatch growing on the roadside, and a frame truck with two wheels is hidden.

Yao Weijun was in the grass not far behind him. He waited for the man to load his bags into the car and there was no movement around, then he took action decisively.

Obviously, these two guys have no other accomplices and are alone at this moment, so they can be arrested!
Swish!
He waited for the man to pass in front of him, then rushed out from behind, stretched his arms forward, wrapped his arms around the other man's neck and tightened it violently, restraining the man on the spot.

Yao Weijun is 1.8 meters tall. He has developed his skills from fighting since he was a child. He knows how to quickly subdue a person and at the same time silence the other person.

"Better keep quiet or I'll kill you!"

He put more force on his arm, and fiercely approached the man's ear to warn him.

The opponent's neck was stuck, and he couldn't use any strength he had. In addition, he was so frightened by the sudden change that he couldn't listen at all. He subconsciously grabbed his back with both hands and struggled continuously.

"It's no use even if you work hard!"

Yao Weijun snorted and used his other hand to grab the man's hair and pull him towards the truck.

Because it was still stuck on the other person's neck, the person didn't have a chance to make any sound until he got close to the carriage.

Yao Weijun took advantage of the night and glanced at the frame truck, and took out the rope with one hand free.

"Be honest..."

He stopped mid-sentence because it was only then that he realized that the guy whose neck he had restrained had fainted due to difficulty breathing.

Yao Weijun tested his breathing, and after he calmed down, he immediately tied him up firmly.

And right now.

He vaguely saw another figure in the distance, carrying a white bag and approaching quickly.

Apparently, another person packed the bags and planned to carry them back to the car.

With cold eyes, Yao Weijun kicked the tied man into the grass on the roadside, took a rope from the truck, and quickly hid it.

He waited until the figure carrying the bag passed by, then suddenly jumped out and kicked the man on the waist.

Bang!
Pfft!
The man was kicked to the ground. Before he could react, Yao Weijun stepped on his back. At the same time, he put a rope around his neck and tightened it instantly!

"That's great. One or two people dare to come to our village to steal food. They are looking for death, right?"

At this time, Yao Weijun didn't have to worry about being overheard. He even deliberately opened his voice and reprimanded loudly.While he was talking, this person was also tied up.

Then he pulled a frame truck out of the grass on the side of the road and pulled the man and two bags of corn cobs back to the threshing floor.

He went back to the house and took out a broken gong and started banging it.

This is a warning item that Chen Shoushan brought to him specially. Whenever there is a situation in the threshing floor, just beat the gong and call someone!
The harsh sound of gongs sounded in this silent night and spread far and wide.

Soon shouts were heard in the village, and the beams of many flashlights pierced the night sky, finally shining on the threshing floor.

Many people came shirtless without even having time to put on their clothes.

Food is the lifeblood of the whole village. Yao Weijun struck the gong, indicating that something was wrong, so he was very nervous.

"Guard, what's going on?"

"It's so late at night, isn't it because the threshing floor is looking for thieves?"

"Made, hurry up and see if there are any missing corn cobs. Those thieves deserve to die!"

"Hey! It seems that the thief has been caught by the guards. Look, there is a truck!"

"Whoever beats me deserves to be beaten to death for daring to steal food from our village!"

"..."

A group of people ran forward with loud noises. When they saw the two thieves tied up next to the carriage, they all showed anger.

Many people were so angry that they kicked and beat the two people, giving them a black eye.

……

"Guard, well done!"

Chen Shoushan pushed through the crowd and came to Yao Weijun, his face full of relief and excitement, "Haha... You have made great contributions to our village this time. I will discuss with the party secretary and we must reward you well!"

"Uncle Morishan, now everyone has stolen the goods and not a single corn cob is missing. Please hurry up and call the police station and ask them to come and get the person."

Yao Weijun responded with a faint smile.

"Okay, okay! I'm going to call the village headquarters right now. Who is that? You two, take these two things to the village headquarters, including people and cars!"

Chen Shoushan subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette for Yao Weijun, but found that he had taken it out in a hurry and didn't bring it with him.

"Slap me the same way."

Yao Weijun was about to take out a cigarette.

"Haha... No, you should rest quickly. Come to the village headquarters tomorrow when you are free, and the party secretary and I will have a good chat with you."

Chen Shoushan smiled and waved, calling everyone to get in the car and follow them, and left the threshing floor.

The threshing floor became quiet again. Yao Weijun washed his face and went back to his house to sleep.

The next day, Yao Weijun still rode his bicycle to sell goods, and did not return to Jianchang Village until the afternoon.

"It's not bad. I made another net profit of more than 210 and three yuan today. Now I have more than 700 yuan in my hand, and my second wallet is almost full..."

In the adobe house, Yao Weijun looked at the two bulging black leather bags on the kang, and for the first time he was troubled because he had no place to put his money.

The current situation is not entirely clear, and he would not dare to deposit so much money in the bank.

If he really went there, he would probably be taken away before he could even walk out of the bank. Even if he told the truth, he would inevitably go to jail.

But he didn't feel safe leaving so much money on the threshing floor.
