Chapter 317 317 Corn was stolen

Old Zoutou and more than a dozen people scattered around the field to check. After reading, they found traces of corn seedlings being dug up in other corn fields. After checking each other, everyone estimated that at least hundreds of corn plants were stolen.

Old Zoutou and Uncle Cai are angry and scared. They are angry that so many corn seedlings have been stolen. They are afraid that the lady will blame them for not doing their best and drive them away. The days are gone.

Old Zoutou rubbed his face hard and sighed, "Alas! It's useless to be angry, if Madam doesn't chase us away this time, we have to guard the corn seedlings in the field and don't let anyone steal it again, let's do it! You guys! First go chop some bamboo and wood and come back to build the shack, Da Shui and I will go back and tell the little butler, and let him take us to ask Mrs.

A Cai nodded, "Alright, let's build a few shacks first, and we'll take turns out to watch at night."

Da Shui was so angry that he kicked out the clods under his feet and said angrily, "Dog thing, if I caught him, I had to break the dog's legs."

Old Zou held back Da Shui, who was anxious to get angry, "Let's go! It's useless to get angry here, I'd better go back to Zhuangzi and report the stolen corn to Madam."

After Lao Zoutou and Da Shui left, Ah Cai frowned and thought for a while, and said to a short and thin old man, "Brother Wang, think about how he stole so much corn from us, he couldn't plant it in the yard, right? "

"That's right! There are hundreds of corn seedlings! Let's go to the village next door after we finish our work, and we should find them."

"Yes, let's hurry up and look for it when we're done."

Old Zoutou and Da Shui returned to Zhuangzi, found Awei, and told Awei that the corn seedlings had been stolen, Awei was also very angry after hearing this, "How did he know it was corn? He stole so much. You are too bold! I'll report to Madam while you wait here."

Awei reported to Li Yu that the corn seedlings had been stolen, "Madam, the villagers thought it was strange to dig up two plants at most, but this thief stole so much. I think he must know corn."

Those who know corn should not be ordinary people. It is not ordinary people who know who owns this village. These people will not come to steal corn seedlings. They may be relatives of these people, or people who cling to those people.

Li Yu thought for a while, and then instructed Awei, "Awei, take someone to the next village to check quietly, especially some powerful people in the village, remember not to disturb the people."

Awei patted his chest and assured, "Madam, don't worry, I will often accompany the old man to the nearby village to see a doctor for the villagers. I am familiar with many people in the village. I will quietly ask them about it."

Li Yu nodded with a smile, "Okay, you go ask first, go out and ask Lao Zoutou and the others to ask for the crime, it's not within their control to make trouble, let them remember to be more careful in the future."

"You didn't know that the corn seedlings were stolen. They were worried that you would drive them away, and they were still preparing to set up a shack for vigil."

After hearing this, Li Yu understood their feelings a little. He finally had a stable life when he was old, and he was worried about gains and losses. When the corn seedlings in the village were stolen, he was inevitably worried that he would drive them away.

"You tell them that Zhuangzi is their home. As long as they don't do things that harm Zhuangzi's interests by colluding with outsiders, I will never drive them away. They can build shacks to keep watch at night, so that the thieves will also have What I worry about is that the crops will be ripe in a few days, and the wild animals in the mountains will probably go down the mountain to steal the crops, so that they can find time to build a fence at the foot of the mountain."

"It's Madam." Awei withdrew.

Old Zoutou and Da Shui waited anxiously for Awei to come out of the inner courtyard. As soon as they saw him, they went up to him and looked at Awei worriedly, "Little steward, what does Madam say?"

"Madam said that Zhuangzi is your home, as long as it's not..., let me tell you! As long as everyone does their duty, Madam won't scold us. I haven't been beaten or scolded once since I was bought by Madam, but I also Obedient." Yang Wei smiled proudly after saying that.

Old Zoutou and Da Shui burst into tears after hearing this, and knelt down towards the main courtyard with a grateful heart, "Thank you madam, thank you sir, we have a home."

Awei hurriedly pulled up the two of them and said, "Old Uncle Zou, Uncle Da Shui, get up quickly, Madam doesn't want us to kneel at every turn."

Lao Zoutou and Da Shui wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, "We won't kneel anymore, Ah Cai and the others are still worried! Let's go tell them first and make them happy too!"

Awei was also very happy to see them happy, "Okay, I will go to check the nearby villages, but you don't go there, Uncle Zou."

Old Zoutou couldn't hide his excitement and rubbed his hands together, "Hey! We're not going, we'll go back and quickly build a shack and fence off."

Awei watched the two go away happily, and walked towards Yangjia Village.

After entering the village, I went to visit a few households in the village, but I didn't find any news. I thought that the village had an unusual relationship with the Tian family, and the Tian Zhong family, who was arrogant and domineering in Yangjia Village, lived in a family separated from Yang's sister-in-law's house. where, Awei strolled towards the Yang family.

When he arrived at Yang's house, he stood outside the fence and saw the grandmother of the Yang family drying vegetables in the yard. Awei laughed and shouted, "Grandma Yang, are your feet better?"

Grandma Yang looked up and saw Awei, she smiled and opened the fence door, "Awei is here! Come in and sit for a while, my feet are much better, and I can sleep peacefully even if it rained two days ago, go back and thank you for me Doctor Wen."

Awei walked into the yard and helped Grandma Yang spread out the dried vegetables in the dustpan. "Grandma Yang, it seemed that someone ran past our village last night at midnight. Did you hear any unusual noises in your village?"

Grandma Yang said with a smile, "I didn't hear any noise last night, so I was just next door to his mother. She complained to me this morning that she was woken up by the barking of Tian Zhong's dog next to her when she fell asleep last night. She was half asleep and half awake all night, and she was only confused when the sky was bright, and was woken up by Tian Zhong's dog. She sat with me for a while and went back to sleep. What's wrong? Zhuangzi's things were stolen huh?"

Awei thought for a while and said, "I haven't lost anything, but the crops in the field have been ruined."

After hearing this, Grandma Yang took Awei to the porch and said in a low voice, "Awei, Changgui said that Tian Zhong's family carried a backpack alone last night, and they didn't know what to do if they didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Is it? I didn't come back until today when the sky was bright."

It seems that 80% of the corn seedlings were stolen by Tian Zhong's family, but where can I find the stolen corn, and everyone will get it all?

"Aunt Yang, how many dogs does Tian Zhong have?"

"I have one, and I heard that it was brought from Master Tian's house, and it was extremely fierce."
