Hearing the sound, Zhang Fangyuan realized that something was wrong, quickly put on his clothes and went out from the back room, passed through the middle hall and opened the door, a whistling cold wind poured into the room, followed by a drizzle of rain.

    He didn't care about the cold, didn't even bring a bamboo hat, and went straight out of the yard in the rain.

    "Sinner! Look at you, don't stop!"

 The gong bang bang bang bang in the heavy rain. At this time, Zhang Fangyuan was not the only one who heard the movement. Many households in the village were lit up their light in the heavy rain one after another, and there was a constant sound of the door opening.

    Zhang Fangyuan was a little familiar with the voice of the shouting person, but he couldn't use a torch under the heavy rain, and he couldn't see the person clearly in the dark.

    But the sound of the gong kept approaching him, followed by cries: "Fangyuan, hurry up and chase the thief, he stole from your eldest uncle’s house!"

    Zhang Fangyuan frowned: "Uncle "

    "Go, go!"

    Zhang Shixin ran to Zhang Fangyuan's yard with a gong in his hand, cursing uncontrollably, he chased the thief all the way out, fell several times, and was covered in mud.

    When Zhang Fangyuan heard the words, he felt that the matter was really interesting. He folded his hands and said, "Uncle stays awake in the middle of night, what kind of thief is he catching, don't be mistaken?"

    "You have fast legs, so hurry up and chase after the thief with uncle! He stole a big piece of meat. If I didn't interrupt him when I woke up at night, all the meat at home today would have been stolen”

    Zhang Fangyuan said: “So can you see who it is?”

    “How can you see clearly, the thief jumped out holding a piece of meat as soon as he heard the sound, it’s a man."

    Although today's incident made Zhang Fangyuan felt bad in his heart, but if there was a thief in the village, it was not a family's business. If he you were the one who slaughtered pig today, he would steal from your house. If you din't caught the thief today, it would be your turn tomorrow. In this matter, everyone in the village had the same hatred, and Zhang Fangyuan was no exception.

    Focusing on the overall situation, he frowned and said: "Which direction is he going?"

    Zhang Shixin quickly pointed to the front, Zhang Fangyuan didn't say any more, and ran after him.

    Rainy night was really not a good time to chase people, but Zhang Fangyuan was born and raised in this land, and he could know the roads and slopes even with his eyes closed.

    Now when he heard the word "thief", he faintly thought about the family on the border. It was raining heavily and it was dark and he couldn't find any footprints. He could only run to the other side of the border with his consciousness.

    Zhang Fangyuan walked all the way, and soon saw a black shadow jumping forward in panic in the rain, without saying a word, he jumped forward and pressed the person on the ground.

    With a thud, the man was greatly frightened, like a big black bear pounced on his body, he fell directly into the puddle, and even the large piece of meat he was holding in his arms flew out.

    "You are brave enough to steal meat in the village!"

The thief choked on water, the meat fell off, but his hands were free. He ignored it in panic, and pulled out a knife from his waist, He turned around and slashed at the person behind him.

    In the night, Zhang Fangyuan didn't see clearly that the man was carrying a knife. He just felt that the man was about to attack him. A cold light flashed in front of his side face, and the knife directly cut his palm.

    Zhang Fangyuan frowned and dodged the knife, the man who half lying on the ground was slashing indiscriminately, stepped on the man's ankle with force, and with a rattling sound, the man let out a miserable scream, and his hands shook. Losing his strength, Zhang Fangyuan snatched the knife when he saw the situation, and clasped the man's hands behind his back.

    "Caught it, Zhang Fangyuan caught the thief!"

    Hearing the screams, the villagers who came in coir raincoats and bamboo hats rejoiced. Zhang Shixin was even more happy when he heard it, and went straight to beat the gong on the ridge of the field: "Caught it!"

    The villagers wrapped the wood in kerosene and held up the torch under an umbrella, and quickly pointed the torch towards the thief: "We haven't had any robbers in Jijiu Village for many years, let's see which thief is so immoral!"

The torch was lit in front of the man on the ground, and the villagers who surrounded him were stunned for a moment, speechless at once, and looked away unnaturally.


    The rain fell directly on the person, and Zhang Shixin rushed over: "Who, who is it! I must send him to the government!"

    Zhang Shixin squeezed into the crowd to see who it was, and his aggressive words seemed to be cut off suddenly, stuck back in the throat.

    Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Fangyuan sneered, took a finger-thick hemp rope from Chen Si who ran over, and tied the man tightly.

    He kicked the man: "I taught you a lesson on the mountain before, and warned you again at Guang's house. It seems that your family hasn’t changed after repeated admonitions, and you are born to do this kind of business."

    Zhang Shixin wiped his face: "Guang’s second son, today I asked your mother to come to my house to help, but you kid actually came to steal things at night! You are really wolf-hearted! Take him to the village hall and ask the village chief to see how to deal with it. This matter must not be left alone."

    Guang’s second son was beaten unconscious by Zhang Fangyuan, and he was still confused, but he kept spitting out "forgive me".

    Zhang Shixin ran to pick his own meat, and the villagers gathered around the village hall for meeting about the Guang’s second son.


    The whole village didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and rushed to the village hall in a hurry. Things got so bad that a thief appeared in the village and was caught again. Everyone wanted to go and see.

    A torch was lit in the village hall, and it was brightly lit. Guang’s second son was tied up and thrown in the room. The hall was full of villagers. On the way to the village hall, people kept coming over with umbrellas and straw hats. The woman pointed, everyone was discussing, it was extremely noisy.
