all courtyard. 。Just like the boss said, this courtyard is really nice. 。The front shop was divided into two rooms. Besides the counter, there were eight square tables, each with four stools. 。Behind...Jia Yin lay in her elder brother's arms, yawned softly, and squinted her eyes. Listening to her mother and aunt talking, she gradually fell asleep.

Jiārén wanted to bring his younger sister inside, but he couldn't bear to leave the warmth and merriment of the moment. So, he took off his outer garment and used it to shield his sister from the slightly cool evening breeze.

Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er came over as well, surrounding their younger sister in the middle.

When the night deepened, the family dispersed one by one and rested.

Jiarén, Lǐgē'ér and Mǎogē'ér all went to live with their Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle in the west room of the main house, sleeping on a kang.

Then, Tao Hongying took Jiayin and Zhao Yuru to sleep together in the east room.

Jia Yin woke up in the middle of the night from the heat, only to find that the little fox had burrowed into her arms. Just as she was about to push the little fox out, the door of the west room creaked open.

Jia Yin followed the gaze out the half-open window and saw that it was Mao Ge'er going to fetch water.

He had eaten almost half of the jade gourds already, his bladder must be about to burst.

Tonight the sky is rather gloomy, and the moon has vanished. The courtyard is pitch black.

Meow Meow dared not go to the toilet, he ran to under the wall and urinated, perhaps he still wanted to have a big poop. As a result, he couldn't hold it in, so he pulled up his pants and walked back.

Jia Yin was just about to imitate the bird's call to scare her brother, when a sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard. However, the sound disappeared as soon as it reached the wall of their own yard.

Jia Yin found it strange, and even Mao Ge'er seemed to feel something was amiss. He stood in the courtyard, unsure whether to go back inside or check at the door but too afraid to do either.

When I was hesitating, something suddenly flew in from outside the courtyard. It burst open in mid-air, scattering like flowers falling from heaven, covering Cat Brother.

He unconsciously grabbed a length of rope-like thing from his head. It was sticky and smelled strongly of blood.

"Ah! Fourth Uncle, help me!"

In the quiet courtyard, the cat suddenly cried out loudly, startling everyone.

Jia Yin even tried to push the window open and jump out, but the little fox was faster. It darted out before her, disappearing in a flash.

Li Lao Si kicked the door open and rushed out first, picking up his sobbing nephew and throwing him back into the house. Li Lao San followed suit, reaching out to take the child.

Look! Li Laosi has already climbed over the wall!

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave the courtyard gate, it was just that the gate was bolted shut and opening it would take too much time.

At this moment, Tao Honghui, Zhao Yuru, Jia Ren, and Li Ge'er were all awakened.

Li Laosan handed the cat to Zhao Yuru and then went to find a lantern. After lighting it, he carefully checked the scattered things in the courtyard, his face turning ashen with anger.

This whole yard is filled with chunks of cats and dogs that have been cruelly cut up.

A head, claws, liver and intestines...

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were also angry and gritted their teeth. They quickly took Mao Ge'er to take a bath and change clothes.

Jiarren and Liguer covered Jiayin's eyes and carried her back to the room.

Jia Yin was not actually afraid, she was just a little nauseated by the smell of blood.

She secretly took a few ice cubes from the space and put one in her mouth. The churning in her stomach felt a little better.

She gave the remaining two pieces to her brothers.

Jiārén and Lǐgē'er didn't ask where the ice came from at this time. They crunched it, feeling a coolness from their throats to their stomachs. Their racing hearts felt much better.

Li Ge'er held his younger sister, sitting by the window and quietly asked his older brother, "Big brother, who do you think came to cause trouble"

Jia Ren's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "It should be those who run food stalls on the street. These days, many people have heard them complaining about having no business."

Li Ge'er was surprised and annoyed, "When Uncle Three asked them to set up a stall with us in the canteen back then, they refused! How can they be jealous of our good business now!"

Jia Ren shook his head. "Everyone is unwilling to admit their mistakes or take responsibility for the consequences, they only want to vent their anger on others."

Having said that, fearing his younger siblings would worry, he added, "Maybe I'm wrong. Let's wait and see if Fourth Uncle can bring the person back."

"It's sure to work!" Jia Yin added, "Three of them chased after them, they're definitely going to help father catch the thief."

Jia Ren rubbed his sister's hair and said nothing more.

He had already advised his uncle three times not to be too polite to those who opened food stalls.

Their homegrown vegetables were fresh and good, so they clamoring to buy them at a low price. Uncle Three agreed.

But in fact, there's hardly any profit from the house, it's almost like doing them a favor for free.

Uncle Three said they were all colleagues, and the canteen did indeed account for most of the business. These people are not easy.

Looking at them now, they are clearly not worthy of pity. They are being audacious and taking advantage of the Li family...

Soon, the little cat was washed clean and brought to the east room.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru arrived at the courtyard and wanted to clean up, but Li Laosan stopped them and said, "Wait a moment, let's see what Lao Si says when he comes back."

Before the words even hit the ground, there was a commotion in the alley outside. Just as Li Laosan was about to open the door, Li Laosi jumped into the courtyard carrying a man.

Li Laosan hurried forward and asked, "Lao Si, are you injured"

"No, Third Brother, this man isn't very skilled. He's just very familiar with this area and knows how to hide well. Thankfully, Third Dog went with me and followed the scent to pull him out from the haystacks."

Right now, the three birds have jumped onto the window sill and are chirping excitedly to their little owner, asking for a reward.

Jia Yin quietly took a piece of jerky and threw it to its grinding teeth, then lay on the window sill, looking into the yard.

The man was knocked unconscious, tightly bound. Li Laosan poured a bucket of water on him, "splash, splash," and he woke up.

Li Laosan, holding a lantern, shone the light and kicked it with fury!

"Huang San'er It's actually you! You heartless beast! You took the most vegetables from my garden! I always sold them at half price and even gave some away for free, all because you said your mother was sick and needed money for medicine!

"You don't even show any gratitude, and you dare to come here and play dirty, throwing dead cats and dogs at my house! Where is your conscience Did the dogs eat it!"

That man was writhing in pain on the ground, unable to dodge. He could only whimper and beg for mercy.

"Li San Ge, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! It wasn't me, I was sleeping in the firewood pile! I don't know what happened, I just got knocked unconscious!"

Li Laosan wasn't very shrewd, but compared to an outsider, he naturally trusted his younger brother's abilities more. His younger brother couldn't possibly have made a mistake.

Besides, who would go out in the middle of the night and sleep in a haystack instead of going home

“You write it, try your best to write it!” Li Laosan kicked a few more times, panting from exhaustion. “I’ll send you to the authorities at daybreak! Where did you get these dead cats and dogs Where did you chop them up A simple investigation will reveal everything. Just see how you can argue your case!”

Huang San'er was kicked in the stomach, and he was in so much pain that he hunched over like a shrimp.

Perhaps feeling there was no escape, he cried out again, “Li San ge, I was wrong! It was just a momentary lapse of reason! I… that’s right, I was instigated by others!”
