"uncle!"

Suddenly, Da Bao emerged from behind the tree roots, sobbing and shed tears, looking pitifully at the two thieves.

The two thieves were startled and asked warily, "Kid, are you here all by yourself?"

Da Bao choked back tears, "My flashlight is broken, I'm afraid of the dark, boohoo, uncle, can you take me home?"

Da Bao hid the flashlight behind the tree roots.

Da Bao was afraid the two wouldn't agree, so he introduced himself, saying, "My family is very rich. If you're willing to take me home, I'll definitely have my great-grandmother give you a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, the two thieves became interested.

"Brother," the tall one leaned down and whispered in the short one's ear, "this kid says his family is very rich! Why don't we go to his house?"

The shorter man glared at him: "What do you know? What if there are a lot of people in his family? Can you beat them? It's better to go to the family that only has the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled."

Da Bao has very sharp ears and heard their conversation clearly.

He walked over innocently, "Uncle, my mom will be very grateful to you, as well as to my younger brother and sister and my uncle. Although my uncle is a little simple-minded, he also has a lot of pocket money."

Da Bao then frankly told the two thieves that he was from a family of "old, weak, sick, and disabled" people.

Even the dumbest thief could detect the coincidence.

The short man, with his sharp eyes, asked Da Bao, "You said you have a great-grandmother, a mother, an uncle, and younger siblings, but why didn't you mention your great-grandfather and father?"

Da Bao lowered his eyes, his face full of sadness: "Great-grandfather is not at home, and father is dead. He only left us a lot of money."

"Brother, brother!" the tall man exclaimed excitedly, nudging the shorter man with his elbow. "This kid's house looks like the one we're looking for."

"I'm not stupid!" the shorter man exclaimed, a hint of excitement in his voice. "We've really hit the jackpot today! How could we possibly run into this!"

The short man adopted a benevolent posture: "Kid, do you remember where you live?"

Da Bao nodded: "I remember, but the road was too dark, I was scared, and I didn't dare to walk by myself."

The short man patted Da Bao's head: "Don't be afraid, uncles will take you home. Can you give us directions?"

Da Bao nodded without hesitation, revealing an innocent smile.

"That's great, uncles, thank you."

"Then let's go quickly."

The shorter man tried to pick up Da Bao, but Da Bao dodged him, standing with his hands on his hips like a little adult, and said, "I don't need Uncle to carry me, Da Bao can walk by himself! Mom says boys have to be strong!"

The short man didn't think much of it. "Okay, then you can walk by yourself, but walk quickly, Uncle has something to do later."

"Okay! Then you have to provide me with light, otherwise I won't be able to see the road!"

"Sure, we can keep up with you no matter how fast you walk!"

The short man thought to himself, "The sooner the better! Once I've looted all the valuables, I'll never have to worry about anything again!"

If we had enough time, we might even get to have some meat!

A widow whose husband has died must have a good time!

"Let's go! My home is over there!"

Da Bao saw the disgusting expression on the short man's face. He couldn't understand it, but he just felt disgusted.

Once he lures the person home, we'll trap him and beat him!

He wouldn't have brought them home if he wasn't worried that the slingshot wouldn't be able to hit both of them in time!

He even left a mark for his younger siblings, so that when they saw it, they would definitely bring people home to catch the thief!

In order to buy time, Da Bao deliberately led the thief on a longer route.

"Why aren't we here yet?" the short man asked impatiently.

Da Bao pointed in the direction of the Yin family's house: "We're here! My house is over there. Don't worry, Uncle, I'll have Mom give you lots of money."

Upon spotting their target building, the two thieves were overjoyed.

Da Bao led the group away, saying, "My mom and the others went to the basketball court. They'll be back soon. Please make yourselves at home, uncles."

The two thieves exchanged a glance and pounced on Da Bao, trying to subdue him. Da Bao was prepared and fired his slingshot as he ran away.

His aim was excellent; he hit the flashlight in the short man's hand with his first shot.

The light bulb exploded immediately.

The light disappeared, and the entire courtyard was plunged into darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face and couldn't see anyone at all.

Da Bao said smugly, "You two thieves! You tried to steal from my house! I'm going to arrest you and make you stand in the fence!"

"Damn it! You brat! You dare to scheme against us! Second brother, grab him!"

The short man shouted and charged toward the direction where Da Bao had spoken in the dark.

Da Bao secretly moved towards the door.

He often plays in the yard, and even with his eyes closed, he knows where the door is.

As soon as the shorter man moved, he could immediately tell where he was coming from.

The slingshot was fully drawn, and another stone flew out, hitting the short man's calf accurately.

"Ouch, my foot!" the short man cried out in pain, clutching his foot and crouching down. "Who hit me! Step forward!"

"Hehe! Of course it's me!" Da Bao proudly raised his chin, only to realize that it was too dark and the other person couldn't see him at all.

The short man scoffed, "How could that be? You're just a little kid. So dark-skinned, what could you possibly use to hit me!"

"Of course I'll use a slingshot! I can hit something as small as a snake, let alone a big idiot like you!"

"Damn it! Second brother, what are you daydreaming about! Grab him right now!"

The second child is practically blind right now, groping around in the air with both hands, completely panicked.

"Brother, I can't see anything! I don't know where he is!"

He dared to speak, and Da Bao set his sights on him.

Da Bao: "Your turn! You tall guy!"

boom!

The stone hit the tall man's knee, and he cried out in pain, falling to the ground and rolling around while clutching his knee.

"Ouch, that hurts! My leg, bro, my leg's broken!"

"Useless!" the short man cursed. "I still have to rely on myself!"

The shorter guy felt less pain and stood up, lunging towards Da Bao.

"You little bastard! I'm going to break your hands!"

"You old bastard! Come at me if you dare!"

Da Bao, short and breathing rapidly, drew closer and closer.

He retreated to the courtyard gate, and just as the short man was about to pounce on him, he loosened his grip, and two stones flew out, landing precisely on the short man's other "legs".

"what!"

A scream tore through the night and carried far.

The short man clutched his crotch and fell to the ground, crying and howling like a pig about to be slaughtered for the New Year.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Beside the pond, a group of people were looking around in confusion at the empty space.

"Erbao, did your brother really say he'd wait for you here?"

Erbao scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "Yeah."

Xiao Bao nodded, pointed to the spot where Da Bao had been standing, and then pointed to the grass where the snake was.

Erbao said, "The snake was in that patch of grass when my brother hit it."

Section Chief Li went over and parted the grass; there was blood, but no snake.

Some couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be that the snake was feigning death to lure Da Bao over..."

"Shut up!" Officer Cui snapped at the man. "Stop making wild guesses!"

Section Chief Li: "How about we look around?"

Suddenly, Xiao Bao pointed in another direction, which was the tree root where Da Bao had been hiding.
