The yamen came very quickly and checked it. According to the words on the courtyard wall, it was basically certain that the thing was stolen. However, the other party left more than 30 liters of grain, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to say that it was stealing.

This is the first time that several yamen have encountered such a thing after handling a case in so many years, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and cried with tears in his nose and tears: "Sir, you must make the decision for us to catch the thief who steals donkeys, chickens, ducks, and dogs!"

Thinking of those chickens, ducks, dogs, donkeys, Liu was so distressed that he wanted to kill the one who was killed.

The yamen looked at the food speechlessly and said, "Didn't they give back so much food?"

Now that food is getting more and more expensive, these foods are worth money. In their opinion, the family did not suffer any losses when those animals exchanged for these foods.

But Liu refused to rely on it and rolled around, "I don't care. I don't want these foods. I just want my two dogs, three chickens, two ducks, and one donkey!"

Several yamen members looked at each other and didn't want to care about this matter very much, so they said perfunctorily: "Then tell me who could steal... No, I'll change to your family so many things? Not to mention chickens and ducks, just say that the donkey and two dogs, others will always make some noise when they come to steal, and you didn't hear anything?"

When the Liu family heard this, their faces became even more ugly. Not to mention that they slept well last night, and they didn’t know what the sky was falling!

The faces of several yamen became a little ugly, and they continued to ask patiently: "Since you haven't heard any movement, there will always be a person who doubts!"

"This..." Liu's man was in trouble. Many people in their family offended in the village. No one dared to be so arrogant for so many years. In addition, many people left in the village, the villagers who were left behind really didn't have the ability. She immediately thought of the outsiders who were in their village the day before yesterday.

But the group of people left yesterday evening. This matter had already spread in the village, and no one saw them come back. In addition, the group of people looked honest and decent, unlike those with such ability.

Seeing that his man could not make a fuck, Liu was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him, and said viciously: "It's either those little bastards or those foreigners, it must be them!"

So Liu added fuel to the fire and belittled other people, and the more they talked about it, the more they felt that anyone was suspicious.

The yamen became darker and darker when he heard this. He walked out of this family and went to other people to inquire.

"You talk about those children who occasionally appear in the village! Alas! They are all poor people, without any father or mother, so they occasionally go to the nearby area to pick up some firewood and find some wild vegetables. Liu snatched the children's firewood last time and was caught. He has been thinking about taking revenge..."

"Those foreigners! They are pretty good. They have a donkey cart, and there are more than one. When renting the yard, they also gave a small bag of food! Oh, what kind of food are you given? They are all miscellaneous grains we often eat!"

"That dog..."

After collecting the information, the dissatisfaction with the Liu family reached its peak.

Yachae Jia: "There is no truth in that woman's mouth."

Yachai B: "The food given by the foreigners is different from the food exchanged."

Yachai Bing: "That woman is so shameless. She even robs the child's firewood."

Yachaijia: "Their dog has even bitten someone to death, but he has not paid any compensation!"

The final conclusion of the three people was that they would not care about this matter.

The Liu family was waiting at home. From day to night, the family was so anxious that they were filled with bubbles. The next day, the Liu man went to the town to inquire. The good guy, he said directly that he could not find the evidence and asked the food to hand over and return the things that were thrown back when the prisoner was caught.

The Liu man was not willing to hand over the food, so the case was left unresolved.

How could Liu let it go after such a big loss? He criticized the mulberry trees in the village every day, and saw that no one looked like a good thing, and he became more and more disgusted by the villagers.

Of course, Tang Ning and his group of people could not know about these things. They took advantage of the dawn and did not dare to delay the situation at all. They tried to stay away from the official road and walked eastward.

Women are always sensitive and timid. Jiang and Li are no longer making a sound. One holds their little daughter and looks around with their vigilant eyes, while the other is busy rubbing hemp ropes and hanging them on nearby branches, as if only by working constantly can she forget the fear in her heart.

Tang Ning and Tang Zhong kept staring at the wild fields on both sides, looking for edible wild vegetables and fruits. Occasionally, the siblings would jump out of the donkey cart and grop around, and then catch up with the large army.

When Tang Junsheng saw that the two of them would not leave, he ignored them. He let them do whatever they wanted. When the sun came up, the group found a flat ground to stop and rest.

Jiang and Li set up a big pot to prepare for cooking. Due to lack of water, they did not dare to waste a drop of water. They carefully poured a bamboo tube of ground water into it and then put some miscellaneous grains.

Tang Ning and the others walked around for a while and came back disappointed, "No water."

Everyone looked as expected.

Tang Lao Er took a sip of water, gasped, looked into the distance, and said, "There is no rain here. There is a dry stream near our house. When it rains, you can see some water flow. When the rain stops, the water will not flow anymore, and there is only some water accumulation. People nearby compete in groups of three or three, and the accumulated water will not stay for a day. I have never seen what the real stream looks like when I am so old!"

The girl who listened carefully on the side suddenly asked curiously: "Grandfather, what should we do if we don't have water?"

Tang Laoer touched Nizi's little head lovingly and laughed: "There are four wells in the town, and I don't know when they were dug. It was very deep. The people in the town rely on these four wells to draw water.

Everyone is worried that the four wells are not enough for everyone in the town to use, so the watering ground is usually pointed at the rainwater, otherwise every household will not have to build a hole to store water."

The girl looked like this, and Tang Ning next to her also listened with relish. Seeing that Jiang and the others were not energetic, she said loudly: "Uncle II, I heard that our place is the most arid here. We keep going east, so we may see rivers and lakes."

Tang Lao Er nodded with a smile, "Aning is right. The peddler and pawn from the east did say such words, but I don't know how far I have to go."

They had been on the road for a few days, but the drought was still severe around them. I don’t know how long it would take to reach a place with abundant rain. What’s important is that they are close to the Mid-Autumn Festival and the imperial court’s decrees are almost time to come down. At that time...

Tang Laoer dared not think deeply, nor did he dare to express his worries, for fear of causing panic to everyone.
