Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chen Changli's reaction was not slow and he quickly caught up with him and caught him again.

Seeing that he was afraid of the village chief, Wan Shufang had a vague doubt in her heart.

She quickly caught up with Chen Changli and asked the tall and thin man: "Why don't you want to see the village chief? Do you have anything to do with the village chief?"

Although the tall and thin man had an ugly face, his mouth was tightly closed.

With his attitude, the villagers who chased him noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

Chen Changli frowned: "It seems that we can't hand over the people to the village chief. We have to go to the chiefs of the major surnames and let them discuss a charter."

Sifang Village is a village with multiple surnames, and each surname has its own clan leader. Although the village chief manages the entire village, he always takes care of big things. Most minor issues are solved by his own family or by the clan leader.

He wanted to hand over the thief to the village chief before, but he just thought that the matter was relatively serious and asked the village chief to come forward. Later, he might have to rely on him to contact the government to catch the thief. Who would have thought that this thief was related to the village chief.

Wan Shufang glanced at everyone and said with emphasis: "The situation in the fields this year is very bad. I believe everyone understands how important food is."

"This person actually has a relationship with the village chief, so we have to make some preparations, otherwise we are likely to become the target of public criticism."

Although Sifang Village is very peaceful, under such unfavorable circumstances this year, even an honest person will change for the sake of the survival of his family.

"Food is related to our lives. I don't care what you think. I won't talk nonsense anyway." Widow Xu thought of something and her face became ugly. "You have to think about this matter carefully. The food is all stored in the kitchen, and your family has a large population, so why is there less food? You just discovered it now."

As soon as she said this, everyone felt horrified to think about it.

Their houses are close to the south of the village and close to the mountains, and because of this, their houses are some distance from each other.

But even so, they have several capable laborers at home, and no matter how hard they sleep at night, they can't hear any sound.

"Chen family, this matter is indeed very strange. We will listen to you. When the matter is clarified, we will thank you and your wife. "

"As for this thief, I'll leave it to you and your wife. We'll go to the clan leader and talk to you about it before we come to you."

The villagers left in a hurry after finishing speaking.

Chen Changli knocked out the tall and thin man with a knife. He looked at Wan Shufang solemnly and said in a low and hoarse voice: "If this matter is really related to the village chief, then the meaning behind it is not trivial."

Wan Shufang's heart skipped a beat: "What did you think of?"

The corner of Chen Changli's mouth curled up in a cold arc: "Someone is storing grain."

"Village chief?" Wan Shufang was furious. "Although the price of food in the town has increased, the village chief's family is not poor. If he wants to collect food, can't he just spend money to buy it? Why do he use such means to steal from the villagers? Does he want to starve everyone to death?"

There were hundreds of people in Sifang Village, and they all starved to death all of a sudden. Only the village chief and his family were alive. Who wouldn't doubt the village chief and his family?

So why would he do it? Are you sure no one will doubt him?

Not knowing enough, Wan Shufang could only think wildly.

Chen Changli also had a lot of doubts. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I will go find out about the situation in the evening. As for this thief..."

He accidentally fell outside this village and was rescued by Wan Shufang. After that, he fell in love with her and married her.

The only clan members he currently has are his own children.

However, Wan Shufang's ancestors were outsiders and had been passed down for several generations. When Wan Shufang's generation came to an end, she was the only one left.

So neither of them had any extra clansmen.

Where should this thief be placed? Chen Changli was a little embarrassed for a while.

Wan Shufang saw that he didn't speak for a long time, her brows furrowed slightly as if she was thoughtful.

She understood his concerns as soon as her mind changed, and immediately said: "Take him home first, and after we find out the situation with the village chief, we will discuss with the others how to deal with him."

"This can only be the case for the time being." Chen Changli took the person away and quickly followed Wan Shufang home.

Wu Qiaoyue happened to be in the yard and was shocked when she saw Chen Changli coming back carrying a man.

Wan Shufang hurriedly came to her and lowered her voice so that only she could hear: "This is the thief your father caught. He may be related to the food we had stolen before. Don't say anything, so as not to scare the younger generation."

Wu Qiaoyue nodded obediently.

Chen Changli locked people in the woodshed and did not stay at home. Instead, he went out to patrol the entire village, and then went to the mountainside where the entire village could be seen.

He paid close attention to the village chief's home and found nothing out of the ordinary, so he couldn't help but suspect that he was wrong.

"It seems we still have to go to the village chief's house." Chen Changli rubbed his swollen forehead and prepared to go down the mountain. Suddenly, his sharp eyes spotted some footprints on the ground not far away.

He took a closer look and found that one of the messy footprints matched the one found in his field.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously followed the footprints up the mountain.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he found that the footprints were already heading towards the mountains.

Glancing at the path leading into the mountain, Chen Changli stepped straight into the mountain without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the mountains, he found that the footprints became clearer and the number of footprints became more and more, as if many people were squatting here to discuss things not long ago.

As his eyes passed over these footprints, Chen Changli restored the situation in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

He had previously suspected that his pursuers had noticed his whereabouts and deliberately used the village chief to lure him out.

But now it seems that his guess was wrong. The village chief would let people steal the villagers' food. In addition to collecting food for his own family, he might have colluded with the bandits.

When he thought that there was a nest of bandits hiding in this mountain, Chen Changli unconsciously accelerated his progress, and soon he was heading deeper into the mountain.

Two hours later, he heard the sound of someone speaking, and quickly kicked off his feet to fly to a tree trunk, hiding himself with the help of the dense canopy.

"Where is that bastard Wang Laoliu? Why haven't you seen him for most of the day? Where has he gone?"

"That person has always been very lazy. Maybe he is looking for a place to be lazy."

"He told me yesterday that he was going down the mountain to steal food. How could he be lazy?"

Two skinny men sat in the shade of a tree, fanning themselves with broad leaves and talking about Wang Laoliu.

Before the two of them could say anything, a lean man came over from a distance while cursing.

"Isn't it just that my father is the village chief? What's so great about it? Huh, Sifang Village is even poorer than my village. I don't believe you can find gold from this village."

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and when he saw two skinny people staring at him eagerly, he rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Do you want to have a full meal? If so, come down the mountain with me."
