Chapter 43
"Don't tell anyone else what happened today. I'm worried that the people we met last night were the thieves who stole things. If they want to do anything to us, I'm worried about what danger will arise." Xichun warned a few people. Don't go out and talk nonsense, be careful to anger those people and take revenge on them.

"Okay, we will be careful. These thieves are really rampant. They dare to commit crimes before it gets dark. It is too dangerous."

Fu Changfeng didn't come to the academy until the afternoon. Seeing him, Xichun stopped him and wanted to ask about the situation.

"Miss Chen, are you back?" Fu Changfeng smiled when he saw her.

"Yeah, I heard someone said that your family's things were stolen. What's going on? Is your family in danger?"

"It's okay. It's just that the servant was slightly injured and has been treated. Please be careful these days. I'm worried that those people will come again." Fu Changfeng calmed down and persuaded Xichun.

"It's okay, just be careful yourself." Xichun didn't continue talking to him.

There were still a lot of guests today. After Xichun and the others finished their work, it was already dark. Several people were pushing the cart home, and Xichun always felt like someone was following her.

"Aunt Zhang, get your tools, I just felt someone was secretly following us." After returning home, Xichun said to several people. They didn't notice the problem and were quite worried.

"Could it be that our business in the city is good and you want to steal something?" Several people took tools to analyze.

"It's possible, Taozi, you can go to Captain Guo's house right now and tell him about our situation, and then go to where the people in our village live to find some people to help." Xichun thought for a while and sent out Taozi was the fastest and most agile. There were many people leaving here at this time, and those people did not dare to do anything on the street.

After hearing this, Taozi changed his clothes, held a kitchen knife in his hand, and slipped out of the backyard.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Xichun and the other three were stunned. Taozi shouldn't be so fast at this time, right?Xichun had to look through the crack in the door, and it turned out that An Wuji was at the door.

"Miss Chen, I saw you all came back. These are some fruits we bought today. My mother asked me to bring some for you to try." An Wuji didn't know how nervous they were, holding a basket with a basket in it. Packed with several pears.

"Did you see anyone suspicious in this alley just now?" Xichun asked seriously, but these words confused An Wuji.

"No, I didn't notice it. What's wrong? Why do you look like this? By the way, where is Taozi?"

"We heard that someone's house was robbed yesterday. When we just came back, we felt that someone was following us. That's why we are so worried now. Taozi also went to find someone for help." Xichun knew that they were the bosses here. He was a resident, so he might know some information, so he revealed it to him.

"What, there is such a thing. We went out to play today and we didn't hear the news. Miss Chen, don't worry. People in our alley are very united. I'll go and ask in a moment to see if anyone around me has seen it. By the way, let them be more alert. If someone really comes, we will swarm them and see who dares to come."

After An Wuji heard this, he immediately went out to look for people door to door.

Xichun felt much more relieved after hearing his words, but now that Taozi hadn't come back yet, she was also a little worried.Fortunately, after a long time, Taozi finally came back. At the same time, several men from the village came with them. They all slept in Datongbu, the cheapest inn. When they heard about this, they all volunteered to help.

However, they worried all night and found nothing, so they could only continue setting up the stall.

As soon as I arrived at the stall, I heard the stall owner next door say that another rich man's house was robbed last night, and someone was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, and an ordinary citizen's house was also robbed. , as soon as this news came out, people in the city were even more panicked. What on earth is going on? How could someone be so crazy?

"These people are really desperadoes. They won't spare anyone they catch. How many of them are there?"

"I heard that the county government is now sending people to investigate, but those people seem to come and go without a trace. They can't be found and don't know where to hide."

"I think we should go hide for two days. This city is not very safe right now." Someone suggested in a low voice.

"Hmph, these thieves are so audacious. They dare to steal things openly in the county. I think they should be punished." The old man who sneaked out of the house came over for dinner again. Hearing these people's comments, he was also very angry. .

"Isn't that right? Our small business can't make much money in a day. We are worried all day long. Yesterday I even felt someone following us quietly home." Xichun is not afraid of making this matter public. Those who If someone really comes, they can't stop it. It's better to raise everyone's vigilance. If someone comes, others can hear it early and maybe rescue them.

"Is there such a thing? Miss Chen, you should be more careful." Everyone in the stall said one after another.

An Wuji also heard about this. People in their alley were talking about where these bold thieves came from. Xichun and the others came back earlier than usual today, and now everyone in the alley was standing outside.

"Miss Chen, you are back. Now, except for thieves, everyone in the city is worried. We all live in an alley. I think we should arrange for patrols, otherwise if the thieves come, I'm afraid someone will die. "

There is an old man in the alley. He is the oldest and most knowledgeable in the alley. He came out today just to ask one person from each family to patrol together, so that if anything happens, he can quickly notify others.

"Okay, I think this method is very good. People in the city are panicked now. As long as we work together, we can protect our safety to the maximum extent." Xichun did not expect that they would propose this idea, so he naturally agreed, but they Now that there are only women, Xichun decided that everyone would take turns guarding the house for one night.

Soon, one person from each of the 25 households in the alley came out, and every five people guarded two alley entrances for one night. If anyone came, they would sound the gong to warn.

Xichun thought for a while and decided to be the first to keep vigil at An Wuji's house. He would also be the one to keep vigil tonight.

It was getting dark soon, and not only men but also women were keeping watch at night. Familiar people started chatting and lit fires on both sides of the alley. As long as someone came over, they would know that they were being guarded.

After an uneventful night, Xichun slept at home in the morning before going to the stall. However, he heard that another house had been stolen last night, and it was not far from their alley.
