Hard times have room

Chapter 643 The Crisis Comes Quietly
Li Qiang and Xu Xiuying heard Li Gen's news, but no one complained. After all, they are no better than Li Gen now. If they knew that this pumpkin was so difficult to pick, they should have brought a knife or scissors. This will be efficient.

Unlike now, it takes one or two minutes to get a pumpkin. Some pumpkins are particularly difficult to pick. Even if the pumpkin vines are twisted like twists, they just won’t separate. There is no way but to change the pumpkin.

This was the first time they had gone to steal pumpkins, and they had little experience. Of course, they must have remembered it now.

It was not necessary before. Pumpkins are coarse grains, but you can buy one for a few minutes. Except for those villagers who like to take advantage of others and have dirty hands and feet, other people will not do that. They have no experience in eating this time. It's a shame, if you know that this pumpkin is so difficult to pick, how can you not bring tools.

Of course, it is impossible to let them go now. The arrow has already been shot, and there is absolutely no reason to withdraw it. Each of them has already picked two or three pumpkins. People became wary, how could they encounter the pumpkins in this courtyard again.

This is the time for Shanghe Village. When the news of the theft of pumpkins in Wang's courtyard spreads, everyone will be in danger, and it will be difficult to steal pumpkins again. Therefore, this time, they have to seize the opportunity.

On this side, the trio were still pulling the pumpkin vines hard, while on the other side, Pauline walked quickly to her parents' room and woke them up.

"Um"

"It's Pauline!"

"What are you doing, arguing with us if you don't sleep at night." Su Hongying was the first to speak, and she was also the one with the deepest resentment.

After she woke up this night, she had a hard time sleeping. Maybe she drank too much tea. She finally fell asleep, but she was woken up by someone. She didn't get angry right away, but it was Bao who woke her up. For Lin's sake, she intends to give Pauline a chance to explain.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Come here at night." Wang Jiandang also sat up with his body and asked with a confused face.

He was sleeping soundly, of course, as soon as he woke up, he felt his stomach bloated, and he had to go to the toilet later to continue sleeping.

"Mom and dad, there's a thief in the yard, stealing pumpkins!" Pauline whispered to the two of them, and at the same time, she put a finger on her lips to signal them to be quiet.

Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying were also startled at first, but then an unspeakable anger surged. Thieves, their determination is already amazing.

Of course, Pauline's finger on her lips also acted as a reminder. Now is not the time to shout loudly. If someone runs away, the pumpkin at home will suffer. Now this pumpkin is still in her yard. , which shows that they still have a chance.

"How is it? Are there many people here?" Wang Jiandang was the first to react and asked eagerly and in a low voice.

When he asked these words, Wang Jiandang's chest heaved violently, and he was obviously not very angry. At the same time, his movements were also very quick. Go out to fight with people and guard the appearance of your own pumpkin.

I don't know how many people there are outside. If there are too many people, there is no other way. We can only find another way to drive away or catch this group of people. They touched each other, and when the time comes, the movement will be together, and the voice will be louder. Under the pressure from the inside and the outside, these people not only can't take anything away, but whether this person can go away at that time is still a big question.

Of course, the most important thing is to keep your own pumpkins. As for arresting people, it's a secondary matter.

"Not much, just three people, one of whom came to my house in the morning to ask for water."

"Oh, yes, looking at the figure, there seems to be a woman inside. I look like Li Qiang and Xu Xiuying, but they are a little far away. I didn't see it clearly, so I'm not sure." Pauline whispered beside the two.

She had deliberately looked at it from the window of her own room, but it was too far away, and she really didn't see it very clearly. She could only see the outline, but she had to make sure that the two people outside were She really wasn't sure about the Li family couple.

As soon as I heard what Pauline said, the two people who had already got out of bed and put their shoes on, their eyes lit up immediately, this matter is a big deal, three people, they can fight, they have guys.

Thinking of this, the two took Pauline out of the door of the room and went straight to the main room.

Paulin was in the back, carefully covering her oil lamp. She didn't walk very fast, because she was afraid that if she went too fast, the wind would blow out the oil lamp in her hand.

This oil lamp has been kept in her parents' house. The first thing she did when she went to her parents' house was to touch the oil lamp, strike a match, and light the wick inside.

When they arrived in the main room, Wang Jiandang directly saw the hoe placed in the corner, while Su Hongying used the faint light of the oil lamp to stare at the sharpest hatchet in the house. The hatchet had a long handle and a new blade. Die-milled, the kind that flashes directly when the oil lamp shines. As for Pauline, she took a pole, which was the most suitable weapon for her.

At this time, the three people outside didn't know that the crisis was coming quietly, and they were still picking pumpkins frantically!
Although this pumpkin vine is hard and old, generally speaking, it can still be picked with some time and effort. Among the three people, Li Gen who picked the most has already filled most of the pumpkins in the back basket, and there are a total of five pumpkins in it. , the bag weighed about [-] pounds, and the one who picked the least was Li Qiang, only three. He was still hungry before, but now his body is very weak, and his thin hands want to tear the pumpkin vine, more than The other two people in this courtyard need more time.

"Everyone, hurry up, we have been out for a long time. We have been working here for so long. Just in case, I propose to stop after more than ten minutes. This is also to prevent us from being discovered." Li Gen When he whispered, his hands were always attached to the pumpkin vine and pumpkin, and he was still working hard.

To do this kind of work, the quicker the hands and feet, the better, and the less time it takes to do the work, the better.

Neither Xu Xiuying nor Li Qiang paid attention to Li Gen. They both knew that Li Gen would say this because he picked the most pumpkins. More than ten minutes was enough for him to fill the back basket and hold two in his hands. He can only take so much away, which is why he said to stop it later.
