Chapter 20 Thief

Rumble €€€€

A sudden thunder woke up Gu Jianguo from his sleep.

He suddenly turned over and got up, put on his clothes and ran outside.

Third Aunt Gu quickly grabbed him: "Where are you going this late at night?"

"It's thundering and it's going to rain. I have to go to the warehouse to take a look." Gu Jianguo didn't have time to say more, put on his shoes and ran outside.

"Hey, isn't there someone keeping watch over there at the warehouse? There's no need for you." Aunt Gu called out, but she saw that her husband had already disappeared.

"The warehouse is on a high ground, so we're afraid of rain." Aunt Gu cursed angrily, but she couldn't trust him anymore.

She was used to Gu Jianguo's stubborn temper. She shook her head helplessly and finally went to the next door to wake up her eldest son: "Baojia? Baojia, please wake up. It's thundering. Your dad is worried about the rain and went to the warehouse. Can we go?" I'm in such a hurry that I didn't even bring an umbrella, so get up and bring it to him."

Gu Bao's family was exhausted after a busy day and fell into a deep sleep. However, his wife was soon woken up and pushed her husband beside her. The latter was urged to get up and put on clothes: "I know, I'll do it right now." go."

Gu Jianguo hurriedly ran to the warehouse, and heavy raindrops began to fall halfway: "That boy A Dong also knows how to look at the weather. It really rained today."

He quickened his pace.

The warehouse in Shanghe Village is right next to the grain drying field. This area is on high ground and cannot be flooded unless there is a flood.

The person looking after the warehouse tonight is called Liu Hongzhong, the youngest son of the old Liu. He is lying on the small bed at the door, sleeping soundly, and the thunder and rain did not wake him up.

Behind the steeple-shaped straw pile, two people appeared furtively.

"We'll make a big deal tonight, and I'll make sure you have enough to eat."

"Just brag. Last time I said I could eat meat, but what happened? Not even a fart."

"It was an accident that time. Who knew that little brat from Mr. Gu's family would wake up at night? Mr. Gu is also a sinister person and he was too ruthless."

"Why, are you still afraid of him?"

"I will be afraid of him. Just wait and see. One day I will bring bad luck to him."

The conversation in a suppressed voice contained undisguised deep malice towards Gu Mingdong.

"It's almost time, Liu Hongzhong must have fallen asleep." A deep voice said.

The other person looked around and said, "I'm going to steal it. Just keep an eye on me. If someone comes, please remind me immediately."

Sneaking into the warehouse, Wang Mazi did not touch the packed bags of rice, which were too easy to be discovered. He took out the snakeskin bag he carried with him and quickly pulled the rice scattered on the ground into it.

A warning voice came from outside: "Are you ready? Hurry up."

"What's the rush? He drank the medicine-laced water and couldn't wake up."

Wang Mazi was also greedy and didn't drag the snakeskin bag out until it couldn't even be tied.

At this moment, a sharp shout came from the distance: "Who is it!"

Gu Jianguo saw a man dragging a sack out from afar. He secretly thought something was wrong. What good could happen in the middle of the night? He immediately shouted that there was a thief.

Wang Mazi was so frightened by his sharp shout that he wanted to run away without caring about the sack.

Gu Jianguo rushed out for a few steps. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he felt sorry for the rice and reached out to drag the sack back.

I happened to see my son's figure and immediately shouted: "Hurry up, he's a food thief!"

Gu Baojia also reacted very quickly. As soon as he heard this, he threw down his raincoat and ran after him.

Gu Jianguo put away the rice and saw Liu Hongzhong didn't respond to his urgent calls. He was worried and chased after him again.

The three of them ran one after another. The man who had been hiding behind the straw looked at the warehouse greedily, but did not dare to take action and ran in the other direction.

Wang Mazi ran as hard as he could, cursing in his mind that the sentry was blind and didn't even see Gu Jianguo.

Just as he was about to run into the bamboo forest to escape, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Gu Mingdong stood in his way.

There was a tiger in front of him and a pursuer behind him. Wang Mazi roared: "Get out of my way!"

After saying that, he ignored it and bumped into it. An adult man hit him with all his might and with great strength.

Gu Mingdong didn't see it, he grabbed his head, stretched out his hand and spun him around, kicking him back, just in time to fly him to the chasing Gu Baojia.

Gu Baojia rushed forward and suppressed Wang Mazi: "Dad, I caught him."

Gu Jianguo caught up with him out of breath and took a closer look: "Wang Mazi, it's you!"

When he looked up again, he saw Gu Mingdong standing in front.

Gu Jianguo felt strange in his heart, but he still shouted: "Go and wake people up, we finally have a good harvest, but there is a thief in our village!"

Wrong old Liu was still having a sweet dream of being praised for delivering food to the public for the first time, but someone woke him up from his sweet dream.

When he heard that there was a thief, the old man Liu's face turned dark. In the first half of the year, Wu Laosan was born in their brigade, and he was often regarded as a role model. Now that the harvest has been good, everyone can eat after the food is divided, and there are still people who dare to Steal food.

Wrong old Liu rushed into the warehouse and made sure that there was no shortage of food. Then he slapped his sleeping son hard several times: "The fucking food has been stolen, and you're still sleeping."

After several hard slaps, Liu Hongzhong finally became dizzy.

Gu Jianguo realized something was wrong and stopped the old Liu: "Captain, I see something is wrong with Hong Zhong. Has he been drugged?"

The old Liu was even more angry: "What are you eating for dinner?"

Liu Hongzhong replied in a daze: "I just ate the food at home and drank some water."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, the old Liu looked at Wang Mazi, who was bruised and swollen: "Are you fucking sick? You will be able to share the food soon. What food are you stealing?"

After thinking about it carefully, Frustrated Old Liu understood that Wang Mazi's family still owed work points from the brigade, and if they were all paid off at that time, the family would probably not be able to starve to death with the food they could get.

Wang Mazi quibbled: "I didn't steal, it wasn't me."

Gu Baojia couldn't help but cursed: "We were caught red-handed, and you still have to quibble."

Wang Mazi is well aware of the seriousness of stealing food. Wu Laosan just stole a few grains and is still renovating the farm. He doesn't have enough to eat and has to pick up excrement every day.

"I was just up at night, but who knew you were arresting people indiscriminately, and I even said that you, the old Gu family, were working together to steal food."

Gu Baojia was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him.

Even the old Liu didn't believe this, and he would doubt others, but Gu Jianguo was an ox, how could he do such a thing.

Gu Mingdong, who had followed Yier back, said at this time: "I want to know if he is very simple. Let's see if he has rice awns on his body."

This reminded everyone.

Wrong old Liu looked down, pointed at him and cursed: "You didn't steal the grain, where did the rice awns come from, and you got them all over your body."

Wang Mazi refused to give up: "I, I got it during the day."

At this time, a member of the commune stood up and shouted: "Fuck you, we all saw the bath you took in the river after working during the day."

"He usually idles around and doesn't work hard. Now he wants to poach the corner of socialism."

"This beast is worse than Wu Laosan. It's too much. You guys have worked hard for a year, but he dares to steal."

"Criticize him, fight him, and send him to a labor camp."

The crowd was excited, and this time the members were even angrier than when they were dealing with Wu Laosan, because they had a share of the food in the granary, which was equivalent to Wang Mazi stealing their family's food.

Wang Mazi's face turned pale. His cloudy eyes were looking for something in the crowd, and suddenly he met a pair of cold eyes.

He opened his mouth and saw the man say three words: your son.

Wang Mazi's lips trembled twice, and finally he lowered his head in despair, allowing the members to vent their anger.

When Liu Dazhu saw this, his uneasy heart finally calmed down a bit.

Suddenly, he noticed that someone had been staring at him, and he looked up suddenly, only to see Gu Mingdong looking at him with a half-smile.

Liu Dazhu stiffened, then forced himself to smile kindly: "A Dong, are you coming to see the fun too?"

Gu Mingdong said calmly: "I was worried when I heard the thunder, so I came over to take a look. You live far away from Dazhu, so you came early."

Liu Dazhu clenched his fists and explained calmly: "I...I was also worried when I heard the thunder. Who would have thought that I would see this coming just after I came over? This Wang Mazi is such a big deal."

Gu Mingdong smiled and did not pursue him relentlessly.

If he had only suspected it before, now he was sure that there must be a relationship between Wang Mazi and Liu Dazhu.

Wang Mazi disappeared quickly that night. He probably went into Liu Dazhu's house and hid, so he was not discovered.

Gu Mingdong narrowed his eyes and found it interesting in his heart. One was from a widow's family and the other was a rogue. The two families, who were originally seemingly out of reach, were actually secretly related to each other.

He suddenly remembered that when he first came to this world, Wu Laosan suffered a painful loss at his hands. It was Liu Dazhu who actually stole the soybeans.

Looking at Wang Mazi, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, crying and crying, Gu Mingdong sneered in his heart, wondering who had the idea of ​​stealing food this time.

The matter has been determined over there, and the old Liu Tong scolded: "You idiot, because of you, our brigade's red flag will be ruined again."

Gu Jianguo walked up to Gu Mingdong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "A Dong, thank you just now, otherwise Wang Mazi would have run away."

If he really ran away without getting any substantial evidence, then he would have let a bad element go.

Seeing that his eldest nephew was soaked to the skin, Gu Jianguo said again: "Hurry up and change your clothes. Don't think that you don't care about your health when you are young."

Gu Baojia also gave him a bamboo hat: "A Dong, take this back with you."

Gu Mingdong refused: "You can use it. I'm already wet anyway, so I might as well go back and take a shower."

After saying that, he ran away.

On the way, Gu Mingdong met Gu Erdi who heard the noise and came to see the fun. The rainy night couldn't stop Gu Erdi from gossiping: "Brother, I heard that Wang Mazi was caught. He got so cowardly that he dared to steal the brigade's grain depot."

"Go and have a look and see what happens if you steal things." Gu Mingdong patted his brother on the shoulder.

The second brother Gu always felt that the way his eldest brother spoke was strange, but curiosity got the better of him and he took the risk to watch a criticism fight.

When he returned home again, Gu Mingdong had dried his hair and was sitting in the lobby waiting for him.

"Does it look good?" Gu Mingdong asked with a smile.

The second brother Gu sat down and said, "It looks good. He deserves to be unlucky. Who dared him to come to our house to steal things? It's a pity that he didn't catch it that time, and it made him feel better for a few months."

"Wang Mazi cried miserably and screamed after being beaten. If the captain hadn't stopped him for fear of losing his life, the guys would have beaten him to death."

After saying that, he asked strangely: "Brother, how did you know that Wang Mazi would steal something today?"

Gu Mingdong laughed: "I don't know, I'm just trying my luck."

Second brother Gu didn't believe this: "Brother, you must have known about it a long time ago, just tell me."

Naturally, Gu Mingdong wouldn't tell him. He stood up and said, "Go back to sleep as soon as you finish reading."

Before entering the door, he turned back and said: "Second brother, if you don't listen to me and continue to follow him, you will be the one who is arrested today. You will not be as lucky as him."

Brother Gu was stunned for a moment and muttered in his heart: "Wang Mazi has been beaten into a pig's head. This is good luck."

He sat there and pondered for a while, still unable to figure out what his brother meant, and finally got up helplessly and went back to his room.

Before going to bed, Gu Erdi was still thinking about this in his head. Most likely in his life, he would not be able to figure out what his eldest brother meant.

Unexpectedly, it was this night that Gu Erdi had an extremely realistic nightmare.
