Chapter 814 The Thief
Chapter 814 The Thief
Ye Shu thought something was wrong. Could it be that there was a thief in the slum?
This can't be done, right? !
After all, it’s right next to the garrison!
Who is so bold as to steal things here? Are you trying to kill yourself?
But the sound of the wall being smashed was very real, it wasn't fake!
In fact, the sound of the wall being smashed in Yard No. 2 was very small and weak, because the man was smashing the wall with very little control, and it was obvious that he did not want to make any big noise.
So the sound was so quiet that even the Huo Yisheng brothers who were waiting outside to see what was going on didn't hear it.
Ye Shu was worried, but Huo Yisheng was not at home at this time!
She put on her cotton coat and trousers, opened the door and went out to see if Huo Yisheng had returned. If not, she would blow the whistle to call the patrol soldiers of the cycling team.
As a result, when the door opened, I saw Mrs. Tang also opened the door and came out.
Ye Shu thought that she came out because she heard the noise, so he trotted over along the corridor.
Mrs. Tang was also surprised when she saw her. She smiled and greeted her, "Are you worried about your third brother too? I wonder what they had to say that made them run outside!"
Only then did Ye Shu realize that she had misunderstood. Mrs. Tang probably didn't hear the noise next door.
She didn't say anything, but took Mrs. Tang's arm and said, "Let's go to the door and take a look. I was alone just now and didn't dare to go out."
Anyway, she really had to go to the door to see if Huo Yisheng had returned.
Mrs. Tang: "Okay."
The two walked to the door. It was pitch black outside. They even shone a flashlight on both sides of the long street, but there was no one in sight.
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but grumble, "Why didn't you wear knee pads when you went out so late at night? I'll be complaining about my knees hurting again when I get back!"
She was worried and distressed about her man's injured leg. This cold winter was too hard to endure.
Ye Shu was touched by the good relationship between his sister-in-law and her husband, so he comforted them: "It's okay, let's go in, they will definitely be back soon."
While persuading Mrs. Tang to go back, she took out her whistle and prepared to send a signal to the cycling team.
As a result, the whistle just reached his lips, before he could blow it, a roar suddenly broke out from the courtyard: "Ah - stop!"
It turned out that just now when she and Mrs. Tang came outside and their attention was not on the slum next door, the sound of smashing walls inside had disappeared.
At that moment, both of them were startled by the sudden roar!
The key point is that the roar was deep and fierce, and it sounded like he was fighting to the death.
Ye Shu pulled Mrs. Tang into the house almost as a reflex, closed the courtyard door, and placed the bolt across the back of the door, leaving only a gap to see what was happening outside.
That way, if someone outside suddenly breaks in, they can bolt the door in time.
Outside, almost at the moment when the two of them leaned over to look through the crack of the door, a figure quickly ran past the gate of their yard.
Because it was really dark tonight, without moonlight, it was almost pitch dark, so Mrs. Tang only saw a black shadow flash by.
But Ye Shu saw that the black shadow was clearly holding something fat in his hands, and it seemed like he was also holding a long stick?!
At the same time, another person chased out from behind.
But he was obviously staggering and holding his head with one hand.
He chased for two steps, then perhaps realizing the disparity in reality, stopped chasing and started yelling at the top of his lungs: "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
"Someone come quickly! Catch the thief!"
His voice is really loud and penetrating.
In fact, it was not the middle of the night and everyone had just fallen asleep, so when he shouted a few times, flashlights soon lit up around him.
Many of the bravest or impatient ones had already run out of the courtyard and responded by asking, "Where is it? Where is the thief?"
"Hey! This troublemaker has come to our place in the middle of the night! I'm going to let him know how powerful I am!"
The man in the compound immediately turned on his flashlight, shining it in the direction of the long street, and replied, "It's right there. He stole a lot of valuables! So many treasures! We can't let him get away!"
So, many people chased in that direction.
However, none of them got the first credit.
Because as they ran out of the yards, a figure was already chasing after them.
Mrs. Tang was puzzled: "Why does he look like the children's father?"
Ye Shu also recognized him and was sure it was Huo Yiting.
At this moment, Old Zhou and Old Ren at home, as well as Old Zhang and Old Peng in the back, hurriedly put on their clothes and came out: "What's going on?"
Seeing Ye Shu and Mrs. Tang at the gate, they were all very surprised: "Sister-in-law? What happened to you?"
The two of them quickly made way out of the door.
Ye Shu quickly recounted what had just happened.
Lao Zhou and Lao Ren opened the door and went out while listening.
Then, everyone stopped.
Between the gate of their courtyard and the gate of the neighboring compound, a tall and straight figure was standing in the darkness. At his feet, a person was lying, struggling, squirming and trembling...?
Several people were surprised at the same time. Is it a human?
Then they raised their flashlights and shone them over there.
Good guy!
What a person!
But the posture was quite weird, as if both arms were detached and lying on both sides of the body in a weird posture, and the jaw was also detached, so he could only open his mouth.
The key point is how cold it is now. Although it is not snowing anymore, the temperature is still around 10 to 20 degrees below zero. If he opens his mouth for a while longer, his throat will be frozen!
When the flashlight moved upwards, they saw a very familiar face, a cold-faced devil-like face.
It was Huo Yisheng.
As soon as they shone their flashlights clearly on his face, Lao Zhou and the others quickly turned their flashlights away and called out, "Captain Huo!"
Huo Yisheng didn't turn on the flashlight, but he recognized the man by the voice and ordered, "Come here and tie this man up!"
He took two steps towards this side and saw Ye Shu standing at the gate of the courtyard.
He felt distressed: "Why did you come out in such a cold day?"
He took a few quick steps forward, pulled her into his arms, and reached for her hand, which was ice-cold.
He felt so distressed that he quickly took off his military coat and put it on her, and then held her cold hands in his palms to warm them.
Ye Shu followed his strength and took two steps closer to his arms.
Then he whispered:
"I just heard someone smashing the wall in the yard next door. I suspected someone was stealing something, so I wanted to come out to see if you were back. I was about to call for help when they suddenly rushed out."
"Sister-in-law is worried about brother. We ran into him in the yard. Did he go chasing someone alone? Will he be okay?"
