Chapter 301: The Trace of the Robber
At night, Zhang An woke up. Su Ying beside him had fallen asleep peacefully, and there were waves of even breathing.
Zhang Na looked at the time, it was already past one o'clock at night.
He carefully climbed out of bed and walked out of the bedroom quietly.
If no one saw it, they would think he was a thief.
Actually, he suddenly remembered the still-living seafood that Lu Jun brought during the day.
He just tried it a little during the day, and the space spring water was more useful to those fish and shrimps.
So now, he wants to test whether these things can survive in space after everyone in the family is asleep.
If possible, according to his collecting habit, he would definitely keep some in it.
After all, it is not easy to eat some seafood when you are inland, especially today when we are not very developed.
Keep some so that you can satisfy your appetite when you want to eat in the future.
And there are infinite possibilities in this world. Who knows if something unexpected happens one day, you might not be able to eat it.
Anyway, Zhang An firmly believes that except for danger, no matter what it is, it is more secure to have it in his own hands.
When we came downstairs, the sea fish in the basin were no longer as energetic as they were during the day.
They are used to living in the sea, so they may not be able to adapt to moving to land.
Zhang An closed the door of the room and brought all living things into the space.
This time, Zhang An did not put them into the fish pond.
Instead, he came to the edge of the lake in the space and put them inside.
“I still think it’s possible.”
The fish and shrimps that Zhang An put into the lake did not show any abnormality, but swam around comfortably.
Moreover, Zhang An could clearly feel their love for this water area.
Looking at the swimming crabs we just put in, crawling left and right in the water, I was very happy.
Zhang An thought that one day he would have the opportunity to get some king crab to try.
If breeding can be successful, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve freedom of king crabs?
At that time, you could eat it if you wanted to, and give it away if you wanted to give it away.
Finally, there were the two bright red eastern star spots. Zhang An grabbed them and took a look.
Originally I wanted to see the male and female, but after looking for a long time, I couldn’t see anything.
Although Zhang An has read many books on fish breeding, he has never come into contact with this sea fish.
After all, in the past, he never thought that he wanted to raise fish in the sea.
So Zhang An threw them into the lake and ignored them.
If there is one male and one female, it is best for them to reproduce and lay eggs while they stay inside.
Since the Chinese New Year is still long away, Zhang An is not in a hurry to catch them.
If both of them are of the same sex, that would be embarrassing, so I can only say sorry.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Anhui would kill them without hesitation.
But what Zhang An didn’t know was that the Eastern Star Spot is a hermaphrodite fish.
Born as females, over the next few years they rapidly mature and grow, eventually becoming males.
When I heard this thing, it was quite strange. After I was born, I was first teased by others, and then when I grew up, I started to tease others.
There is a feeling that a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years.
This time, the two pieces Lu Jun gave him were relatively high-quality Eastern Star Spots, quite large in size.
Judging from their size, they are all yin-yang fish that have been poked for many years, and then poked at others for many years.
But according to science, they are now male fish.
Although the story of two male fishes may happen, there will never be any offspring.
So, these two guys are destined to disappoint Zhang An.
On the other hand, the sea bass next to them are more numerous, so there are a few female fish mixed in.
So, in a few days, they may give Zhang An a surprise.
After finishing this, Zhang An was not in a hurry to leave the space.
Instead, he went to the middle of the grassland and found a place to plant the medicinal materials that he had dug into the mountains before according to the previous plan.
Looking at the trees full of cherries next to him, Zhang An remembered that he had not favored them for a long time.
I reached out and picked a large handful, but in fact there were only a few.
After eating, Zhang An began to plant medicinal materials.
Because anything you plant in space can survive, so Zhang An just dug a hole and planted it.
Finally, I poured some spring water on them, and they settled here.
Especially the snake bud and unicorn lotus that were dug in by Zhang An in the end, there was only one of them.
So Zhang An took good care of them. After all, he still had to rely on them to grow his family.
These two kinds of medicinal materials are not too rare now, especially Shebaogu, also known as Aracenia.
Many people will dig it up and plant it in their own vegetable gardens when they see it.
At least in Changqing Village, Zhang An saw seven or eight families growing vegetables in their gardens.
But as time goes by, there will be less and less of this stuff, and it will be hard to find any medicine.
In a few years, even common plants like Prunella vulgaris will be gone, let alone other relatively rare medicinal materials.
After planting the medicinal materials, Zhang An looked for the wild sheep he had imprisoned before.
After searching around, I found them all resting on the grass.
But the grass on the grass was too lush, covering them all.
Hearing Zhang An's call, the head sheep led the flock towards Zhang An.
The first thing that came to Zhang An was the little lamb. Because it was in space, this guy had grown into a half-sized wild sheep.
With his strong body and strong limbs, there is no hint that this guy is a dystocia, just like Zhang An.
Zhang An originally wanted to pat its head, but when he touched it, he touched a hard bag.
At this time, Zhang An discovered that the little guy was also starting to grow horns.
"Come on, grow up quickly, and then make more sheep. Whether I can realize the freedom of mutton depends on you."
Then Zhang An looked at the first sheep and said: " And you too."
I saw them raising their heads and shouting at Zhang An, as if in response.
I don’t know if these two guys really understood it.
If you really understand, you will be very happy. These are two adulterers.
Back in the room, Zhang An packed away the buckets of fish and shrimp.
Zhang An is not afraid that his family will ask him tomorrow. Then he will say that he will find a place to keep him so as not to take up space.
"The robbers have been caught. A robber has entered the village."
Just when Zhang An wanted to go to sleep, he suddenly heard a very quiet sound, mixed with some dog barking. .
Zhang An immediately opened the door and walked out without doubting his presence.
It must have been someone shouting, but because of the distance, Zhang An heard the very small voice.
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to hear it.
Sure enough, after Zhang An walked out the door, there were more and more shouts.
And the direction from which the sound came was surprisingly from their old main room. No wonder he felt that the faint voice sounded so familiar, it sounded like the voice of Sister-in-law Zhou.
Zhang An wanted to rush over, but he was wearing cotton slippers, so he immediately turned around and went home to change his shoes.
"Xiao An, what are you doing changing your shoes? Do you want to go out?"
At this time, Wang Fang in the room heard a noise, opened the door and saw Zhang An putting on his shoes.
"Mom, it seems like there's a robber in the village. I'll go take a look."
Zhang An changed his shoes and was ready to go out.
Wang Fang frowned when he heard that the robbers had entered the village.
Catching robbers is inherently dangerous. Seeing her son go out empty-handed, Wang Fang was not at ease at all.
"Xiao An, wait a minute." Wang Fang called to his son, and then lifted the steel fork to Zhang An.
"Call Xiaohu and the others to stay safe."
"Hmm, mom, please close the gate later."
Zhang An responded to his mother, and then warned. , took Xiaohu and the other brothers and rushed up there.
Wang Fang also entered the room at this time and woke up Zhang Jianguo who was sleeping.
When Zhang An went out, more and more people were shouting. Many people who were sleeping woke up when they heard the shouting.
By the time Zhang An arrived, he could already see the beams of many flashlights.
Zhang An guessed right, it was their old house.
"Could it be that my home was robbed?"
Suddenly Zhang An felt a knot in his heart, thinking of those sneaky figures in the past few days.
When Zhang An came closer, he found that their old house had been broken into, and the lock on the door was broken on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, tell me what's going on."
Looking at Sister-in-law Zhou's rapid breathing, Zhang An comforted her first.
Catching a robber does not mean chasing the robber everywhere when you hear the sound, but you need to ask how many people are on the other side and which direction they are going.
The most important thing is whether the opponent has a gun in his hand. These are all things that need to be understood.
Otherwise, if you catch up in a hurry, what if someone has a troll in their hands?
Seeing that there were more people chasing them, the robbers thought that one life would be exchanged for another. If they sprayed someone from behind, it would be bad for them to hit anyone.
"When I got up at night, I saw a little light in your yard. I thought my eyes were dazzled, so I walked to the door and took a look."
"Then I saw The door to your yard was open, but I clearly remembered that it was closed after I fed the pigs."
"Then I saw several people using flashlights covered with their clothes to drive the pigs out.
“After being startled by my shouting, they dropped the pig and ran away to the back of the house.”
"I'm afraid that the pig will disappear, so I'm here shouting and guarding the pig."
After Sister-in-law Zhou calmed down, she quickly told everyone.
At this time, she suddenly said anxiously: "Yangyang and his father are chasing behind the house. Come and see, there are several robbers."
As soon as Zhang An heard this, he immediately He took the dog and rushed towards the back of the house. If there were few people chasing the robber, it would be dangerous.
Don’t let anything happen during the Chinese New Year, otherwise no one will be able to celebrate the New Year if it falls on them.
Zhang An ignored everyone behind him, holding the steel fork and letting go of speed.
In a few seconds, everyone behind him was out of sight. Only a few dogs at home were still following him.
Hurrying slowly, when we reached the foot of the bamboo forest, Zhang An finally saw the light of the flashlight not far ahead.
"Yangzi, Brother Shuanglin, is that you?" Zhang An shouted loudly to the front.
The flashlight light in front suddenly stopped, as if Zhang An’s voice was heard.
"Uncle, it's us."
After confirming that it was one of our own, the three of them came together.
"How about, how many people on the other side ran over there?"
"There seemed to be three or four people on the other side. I didn't see clearly. We came out without shoes, so we couldn't chase them. Get on them."
"I only saw them running towards the old house foundation."
"But I saw this on the road." Zhou Yang took it out of his pocket. A pack of cigarettes.
Zhang An looked with a flashlight and saw that it was a pack of Huangguoshu worth two yuan, with a lighter inside.
These days, what everyone in the village smokes is basically the manly one or the big front door.
Many people didn’t smoke the two-yuan Huangguoshu because it was too expensive. It seems that these bandits are quite able to enjoy it.
At this time, people from the village behind caught up.
"Anzi, why are you running so fast? We can't catch up."
Secret Uncle Li from the village gasped.
“I was worried that Yangzi and Shuanglin would be in danger if they collided with them, so I ran a little faster.”
Then Zhang An said to Zhou Yang and Zhou Shuanglin, “Shuanglin Brother Lin, you and Yoko go back and change your shoes and clothes, and I’ll catch up with you guys.”
It’s winter, and you can’t run fast outside without changing your shoes.
"Don't worry, they can't run away."
Looking at the worried expressions of Zhou Yang and his son, Zhang An shook the pack of cigarettes in his hand and said.
“Yes, Xiaohu is here and he dares to throw things, so don’t run away.”
Zhou Shuanglin relaxed after hearing what Zhang An said and seeing Xiaohu. .
At this time, everyone remembered that the things targeted by Xiaohu could not escape easily.
"By the way, Yoko, when you go back, take the people to visit Li Laifu's house. There are many people in their house."
Hearing Zhou Yang say that there were three or four people in the other party, Zhang An thought of Li Laifu from before. The whereabouts of those three people couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Anzi, you mean...?"
"Hmm, two strangers came to Li Laifu's house. They often peeked at my house in a sneaky way. I I have encountered it twice, but there is no evidence that I have not had an attack."
Zhang An told Zhou Yang his suspicions, and if Li Laifu and the others were not afraid at home, he asked them to help. Catch the robber.
If you're not at home, I'm sorry, but this suspicion can't be run away.
"Yeah, let me go and have a look." Zhou Yang knew that Zhang An would not offend anyone easily, so he felt confident in saying this.
Then Zhang An didn’t waste any time and gave the pack of cigarettes to Xiaohu to smell.
Then I saw the tiger and the dog running ahead first.
Zhang An led everyone to follow Xiaohu.
"Let's all turn off the flashlights first, so that they don't notice us."
Although it is night now, it is not too dark, and we can still see within one or two meters nearby.
There was a little tiger searching in front, so Zhang An led everyone in pursuit without worrying about letting them go.
With Xiaohu here, everyone saves the effort of searching, so the speed is much faster than before.
While chasing all the way to the foundation of the old house, several big dogs from Zhang An's family suddenly ran out, and then started barking wildly.
Zhang An knew that Xiaohu and the others had discovered it, and the other party should be right in front, otherwise his dogs would not be so excited.
Sure enough, when the little tigers and the others began to scream, Zhang An found two flashlights not far ahead.
