It's almost 8 o'clock, and A Zheng's house is the only one in the village that still has lights on.
None of the four of them brought flashlights, and they walked on the small path in the village by moonlight, but the moon was not very bright and affected their vision.
"Should I go home and get a flashlight?" Xiaoxiao said hesitantly.
"What are you afraid of? There's no ghost." Ye Yaodong said as a matter of course.
"Can you please not mention ghosts in the middle of the night? It's not even 12 o'clock yet, but there's no light anywhere. Don't you feel a bit scared?"
The fat man touched his arm which was instantly covered with goose bumps. He couldn't help but glance at the branches swaying in the wind around him. He always felt that the shadows of the swaying branches on the ground were a bit scary.
Xiao Xiao also became nervous immediately, "Fuck...can you please not tell me? It's obviously nothing, but it feels really scary to tell you about it."
"You are crazy! You are a grown man and you are afraid of ghosts!"
"Who said men can't be afraid of ghosts? Ah~"
Everyone was startled by the scream and jumped up. They were about to scream, but then they saw and heard him trying hard to gesture to silence them.
"Shhhhhh..."
Everyone's voice was suddenly stuck in their throat, and they felt uncomfortable and couldn't speak. They had to stretch their necks and swallow back the screams that were about to come out.
Ye Yaodong rubbed his neck and lowered his voice, "Fuck, what the hell are you yelling about, you fat bastard?"
Xiaoxiao and A Guang also angrily condemned the fat guy in a low voice.
"People scare people to death. I wasn't scared to death by ghosts, but I was scared to death by you..."
"You're itchy, aren't you?"
The fat man was surrounded by the three of them, staring at him eagerly, and he quickly explained, "No, I saw a reflection walking by not far above, and I got startled."
"Fuck, it's just a reflection. Maybe it's going to the toilet. Why are you yelling?"
"No, I saw in the reflection that he seemed to be holding something like a bucket in his hand, swinging it back and forth."
Um
The three of them immediately widened their eyes. Bucket
"Hurry up and follow us!"
They quickly lowered their footsteps and nimbly climbed up the slope of the path. They saw a figure in the distance turning his head frequently, then looking around with his neck shrunk.
They discussed taking another intersecting path down the slope, and planned to stop and squat in the grass at the intersection to let him go first.
But I heard people going uphill mumbling, "I wonder which unlucky guy fell into the toilet? He was screaming and almost scared me to death..."
"I was scared last night and I was scared again tonight. What bad luck..."
"I never thought that the village was actually quite scary at night..."
"There are no ghosts in this world..."
He walked there, hunching his neck, looking around, and muttering to himself as if to give himself courage.
The fat man had a frown on his face and his mouth was opening and closing as if he was cursing someone silently.
When they were about to reach the intersection, the four of them stopped in advance and squatted down. They saw Xu Laifu walking straight down the hill quickly.
The four of them waited until he walked a short distance down before following him, listening to him muttering like a fool all the way.
When he reached the beach, he put on a headlamp and turned it on to illuminate the road.
"Shit... He really stole the net! He was quite careful. He turned on the headlights when there was no one around."
"It's just right to clear the way for us."
"Shh~"
The four of them fell far behind and followed him all the way to the dock, where they saw him pointing his fingers at several small boats.
"What is he doing? Choosing a boat to go out to sea?"
"Damn, I still have to choose when requisitioning."
"What a great plan! I don't have any boat or nets, so I can just requisition a boat in the middle of the night to steal a few nets from the sea. It's a huge profit without any investment!"
Xiaoxiao looked at Dongzi, "Let's go catch him now? Or should we follow him by boat?"
Ah Guang turned around and said, "It would be better to catch the person red-handed, right?"
The fat man hesitated. "Should we go out with him by boat? Isn't it too dangerous to catch someone at sea?"
Ye Yaodong nodded. It was not easy to catch him at sea. What if he jumped into the sea? If he was too far away from the shore, it would be difficult to swim back. Should they follow him and save him
It’s too much trouble!
"No need to follow him out. We'll just wait on the shore. When he's finished stealing the goods, he'll come back naturally, and we'll catch him red-handed then."
Ah Guang nodded, "Alright, then we'll wait on the shore."
"Fuck, he has such a good eye that he actually requisitioned the new boat that Zheng and I have built. Damn it, I'll beat him so hard that his parents won't even recognize him!"
Cursing quietly there...
I saw that he actually drove their boat out, and Xiaoxiao almost vomited to death!
Hikaru patted him on the shoulder, "This means your ship is newer!"
"Hehehe, wait and see how I beat him to a pulp!"
"Go find a place to sit, otherwise it will be tiring just standing and waiting for two or three hours."
"Ah?" The fat man frowned, "Do we have to wait that long?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't take time to sail, and it doesn't take time to pull the net and put it down? Who knows how many rows he will pull, whether it's a ground trap or a Korean net. If you're tired, why don't you go back first?"
"Forget it. I've been out for so long and I'm almost sober. I'll go back and explain this to my wife!"
Xiao Xiao looked at him with disdain, "You coward, you still have to explain this to your wife! I'm late so I'm late, my wife never dares to say a word."
"No comparison. My family's is very fierce. She has inherited my father-in-law's true skills. She can dissect a pig with a knife."
Now Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say anything, her hair was standing on end.
Ah Guang opened and closed his mouth before saying, "Your wife is quite brave! If she could kill a pig, you probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
"That's right. Fortunately, my father-in-law didn't teach her how to kill pigs. He only taught her how to dissect the parts. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that if I angered her, I would die in the middle of the night."
"It's more important to save your life. Be nice to your wife next time and explain everything to her when you get back!"
Ye Yaodong listened to the conversation of the three people and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The fat man's wife was actually very nice and kind, but she would control him.
There is nothing wrong with having a wife to take care of you. At least she cares about you, as long as she is not being unreasonable.
"Hey...my pigs seem to be ready for slaughter soon. When we ask your father-in-law to come and kill them, can you ask your wife to come over and perform the dissection for us?"
The fat man looked at Xiao Xiao like he was crazy, "Are you too full? My father-in-law always kills pigs at two or three in the morning."
"Aren't you just curious? I want to see how brave your wife is!"
"Go, go, go and die."
The four of them were joking around and didn't find the wait difficult. On the contrary, they felt that time passed quickly. It was just that the wind was a little strong at the pier at night, and they were short of some wine and snacks, otherwise it would have been better to eat and drink while chatting.
However, after waiting for more than two hours, they heard movement on the shore again.
"It was freezing cold at sea. I should have worn a thicker layer. The weather is getting colder and colder. Fortunately, the harvest was good..."
He muttered to himself to give himself courage, then after tying the boat, he carried two large barrels to the shore. However, he did not expect that while the mantis was stalking the cicada, the oriole was behind it, and he was caught red-handed by four people.
Without saying anything, they caught him and beat him up, making him keep begging for mercy...
When the fight was almost over, they stopped. It was just stealing the net. They just wanted to vent their anger by beating the person up, but they couldn't beat him to the point of causing any problems, otherwise it would be a serious matter.
Even if it's not wrong, it will be your fault!
"Fuck... He also stole a lot of nets. So much stuff, it's worth more than 10 or 20 bucks."
"There are so many blue crabs, as well as yellow mullet and sea bream. I don't know whose house they were stolen from."
Ye Yaodong kicked his leg and asked, "Did anyone steal my trap last night?"
Xu Lai Fu lay on the ground wailing without saying a word.
"I'm asking you a question. Did you steal anything from me last night?"
"Oh~oh~I don't know~I don't know which one is yours~oh~I...I just pulled it randomly."
"Fuck, you've already stolen from me twice. Tell me...how often do you steal?"
"Two... no no... I come out to steal about once every three or four days to see if the tide has risen. It's too late... I can't get up if I fall asleep."
"How long have you been stealing?"
"Only...only a few times this month."
Ye Yaodong kicked him in the butt again.
"What should we do with him now?" Xiao Xiao scratched his head.
Ah Guang also asked: "Yeah, what should we do with him? It's easy to catch him, but everyone in the village is probably asleep by now, so we can't just tie him up and take him home, right?"
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "Send it to Secretary Chen. After all, he has been caught red-handed. Let him be a witness. We can also inform the village tomorrow and let everyone know that he was the one who stole the internet during this period."
"That's fine. It would be best if we just hand it over to Secretary Chen to handle."
"No, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time, I won't steal anymore..."
"If you dare to do it again, get up!" After saying that, Ah Guang lifted his arm.
Ye Yaodong also helped to lift his other arm, and the two of them lifted him up and dragged him away. Fortunately, he was short and thin, so it was not difficult for him.
Fatty and Xiao Xiao were walking beside them, each carrying a large bucket of goods. They asked, "You're quite smart and good at doing business with no capital. Tell me how much money you've made stealing the Internet during this period."
"Two hundred dollars, right?"
"no no… "
"How much is that?"
He said weakly: "A... a little over a hundred dollars, right?"
"So little?" Ye Yaodong's eyebrows twitched. He didn't quite believe it. There have been a lot of fish in the sea recently, and the harvest from the nets set up in the village was very good.
"Some... some I ate..." He panted heavily, howling "Oh~Oh~" from time to time.
"Huh... So everyone in the family knows about this?"
"And what about the money you made from selling it?"
"Give it to my mother!"
"You are so filial. Then your mother asked you to continue stealing the nets?"
This time he didn't dare to say anything.
"Like mother, like son!"
"I've experienced his fucking power! It's really not to be underestimated. I was blasted away directly." A Guang laughed at himself.
"It would be easier to just throw it to Secretary Chen later and let him worry about it."
