In three days, the rice and vegetables that had been infested by locusts were cleared away, and Yun Miaomiao relaxed a little.
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo were busy for three days, and Yun Miaomiao also sent people up the mountain early in the evening of the third day.
Yun Ya was afraid that it would be unsafe for Yun Miaomiao to come back alone after it was too late, so he took a lantern and followed Yun Miaomiao to send Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo back. After sending them off, the two of them walked back.
The wind at night is not as hot as during the day, but brings a bit of coolness when it blows.
"Ah, this lantern is out." Yunya looked at the lantern in his hand and shouted in surprise.
Yun Miaomiao looked down and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll be there soon."
"Brother, I heard that there is a granary in the town, which is full of grain."
"Damn it, I've been hungry for a long time. The people here eat and drink well, and they can actually enjoy themselves."
"I heard that there was a locust plague in their fields a few days ago, and now they are all gone. Why don't we take this opportunity to steal some food from their granaries."
"Yes, brother, everyone is so hungry that they are dizzy. There is so much food in the town, but they are not willing to give us even a grain of rice. We did it just to fill our stomachs and had no other choice. Don't you think so?"
"
"Yeah, there's nothing we can do~haha!"
"Okay, let's do this first..."
Yun Miaomiao and Yun Ya were standing on the north side of the grass. When they heard the conversation between the people in front of them, their eyes suddenly turned cold.
She pulled Yun Yayou over and made a silent gesture. Yun Ya also heard the movement in front and quickly closed his mouth.
After everyone outside had gone away, Yun Miaomiao took Yunya out.
"Cousin, are they going to steal our food?" Yun Ya's expression was not good.
Just now, through the moonlight, he could see clearly that those people were all ferocious-looking, and at first sight they were the extremely vicious people that his cousin mentioned before.
Yun Miaomiao looked solemn, knowing that those people were not good goods. If she hadn't asked Mayor Sun to take precautions about the village's food before, they would probably all be targeting it now.
She grabbed Yun Ya's shoulders and warned, "Yun Ya, you and your Erzhu brother take good care of your home at home. Our place is still some distance from the town. Although there are walls here, they can't get in, but they are secretly
We are in the open, so we can't defend ourselves. You can only watch carefully. I'm going to find Mayor Sun now and tell him what happened just now."
The food in the village originally grew sparsely due to drought, and now it is completely gone due to the locust plague. The food in the granary is everyone's lifeblood. If it is stolen now, it will make the entire town hungry.
Belly.
This matter could not be delayed. Yun Miaomiao took a sip of water and immediately set off to find Mayor Sun.
Before she reached Mayor Sun's house, she saw firelight filling the sky, illuminating the entire town as if it were daytime.
She looked in the direction of the fire, her face turned pale, "It's bad, these people just stole food, and even set fire to the granary."
Yun Miaomiao scolded those people in her heart. These scoundrels deserved to die.
She rushed directly to the granary. The fire was bigger than she imagined, and there was no water in several nearby wells. Now she could only watch the granary being burned.
Mayor Sun knelt on the ground in despair, "It's over, it's all over now."
Yun Miaomiao walked over and saw everyone was in a daze, so she immediately spoke.
"Mayor Sun, hurry up and get someone to put out the fire. We don't have water here. There is a pile of sand not far away. Sand can also put out fires. Go quickly and get someone to carry it over."
Yun Miaomiao roared, and Mayor Sun finally came to his senses, "It's little Yun, is it true that sand can put out fires?"
"Yes, please hurry up and ask someone to carry it." Yun Miaomiao nodded fiercely, "There is something that the village chief still wants to tell you. I came to you tonight because of the granary. I was delivering it just now.
Yun Su went up the mountain and heard that a group of people were coming to steal our food. I hid in the dark and saw about dozens of people, and they all looked vicious. They were obviously not good people. I guess this fire
They were the ones who set the fire, so you leave it to us women to put out the fire, and you lead people to find them and capture them."
"What?"
"Someone actually came to steal our food?"
"Damn it, you are so brave, you dare to steal from me."
"I'll beat him to death with a shovel. Mayor, let's go deal with those guys right away."
"Yes, I'll go too."
"Count me in too."
Mayor Sun was also angry. Although there was not much food in the granary, it was already too much for them now. After all, they had just experienced a locust plague.
"Okay, let's go get our food back. Those people dare to steal food under our noses and they simply don't take us seriously. You go to the left side of the town and search along the road. We'll go this way."
Mayor Sun personally led people to arrest people and chase food, and then left the matter of putting out the fire to Yun Miaomiao.
"Ah~ Master, what will I do if you are gone?"
As soon as Mayor Sun left, Yun Miaomiao thought about spreading sand to save the life, but saw a woman rushing out and trying to enter the fire scene. She immediately stopped the person.
"What are you doing? There's such a big fire inside, you're dying."
The woman cried loudly, "My man is still in there. Let me go. I'm going to rescue him."
Yun Miaomiao looked at the burned-out granary with only wooden shelves left, her eyes slightly cold. The people inside were probably burned to ashes.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the woman and the child on her back, "If you rush in, you will be trapped inside and burned to ashes. Now your man is gone. If you go in, what if there is an emergency?"
, what do you want your child to do? In this chaotic world, it is difficult for the family to eat. Do you still expect him to be adopted and fed by his stutter? "
Tears hung from the corners of the woman's eyes. When she heard what Yun Miaomiao said, she stopped crying instantly. Looking at the monstrous fire, she finally burst into tears, and everyone around her was moved.
The fire was so big that it alarmed the whole town, and everyone rushed to help put out the fire. By the time the fire was completely extinguished, it was already daylight outside.
Yun Miaomiao looked at the ruins with black smoke and every person who fell on the ground from exhaustion, with a solemn expression.
Some people who still had physical strength began to pull at the things inside the ruins, trying to find out whether there was any food inside.
By chance, Mayor Sun also came back with his people. Most of them were covered in mud and looked particularly embarrassed.
Even Mayor Sun had a head full of weeds. Yun Miaomiao stood up and walked over, "Mayor, what is this?"
"Xiaoyun, the fire is out?" Mayor Sun said with a happy face, "I have captured those dozen brats. They are all cowards. They dared to steal food and even set fire to our granary.
, he was so courageous that he threw in food and hid in the swamp to the west, hoping to escape at dawn."
"If we hadn't been outnumbered, we wouldn't have been able to catch them."
No wonder everyone is so embarrassed and dirty, but they look so happy.
"It's good that we have captured them, and everyone's food has not been lost. Mayor, what are you going to do with them now?"
Mayor Sun expressed his thoughts, "I have already found someone to tell the county magistrate. The county magistrate replied and asked us to solve it ourselves. There are many people stealing food and doing evil outside these days. The county government's
The dungeons were full of these people, and they had to be taken care of. Magistrate Zhao also had a headache, so I simply brought the people back, and I hadn't figured out how to deal with them yet."
Indeed, there are people who dare to set fire to granaries in broad daylight, and there are even more people who steal things and commit evil acts.
Yun Miaomiao looked at the ten people, all of them had bruises and swollen faces, and it was obvious that they were not less aggressive.
"Why don't we lock them all up first? Now the granary has been burned down and needs to be cleaned up. You are tired after looking for them all night, so let them go and clean up the place. Later, we will slowly figure out how to deal with them.
, the shackles on their feet cannot be loosened, otherwise you will run away without paying attention, and you will be in trouble if you come back to retaliate against our town."
Mayor Sun was really afraid of this and couldn't beat people to death, so he had no choice but to make this plan first.
