Chapter 168 Going to the Bullpen
Chapter 168 Going to the Bullpen
After leaping all the way, we finally arrived.
Shen Qingyu landed in front of Qin Xiao's house. The mountain village was dark at night. She put Lu Xuyao down, released her mental power to check, and soon found the residence of several elderly people.
They were arranged to stay in the cowshed, which was only separated by a wall from the old oxen working in the fields. They lived in the shed, which was relatively sheltered from the wind. In Shen Qingyu's opinion, it should be a place to store fodder.
She sighed. Fortunately, this place could shelter from the wind and rain, so people would not freeze to death at night.
She looked at the man beside her. Lu Xuyao was quietly accompanying her. She held the man's hand and said, "This is Qin Xiao's house. Let's go in and get the bedding first."
Lu Xuyao nodded, took out a flashlight from his pocket, turned it on, and a beam of light shone on the door.
Shen Qingyu was delighted for a moment when she saw the flashlight. This time it was much more convenient, otherwise she would have to grope in the dark. "Ayao is so thoughtful."
She praised generously.
Then I didn't bother to open the big iron gate. As soon as I entered the yard, I bumped into a sneaky figure with a lot of things in his hands.
When the man saw someone coming in, he immediately threw away his belongings and tried to slip away. Shen Qingyu's eyes became fierce, knowing that this was a good opportunity for him to escape.
Letting Lu Xuyao step aside, Shen Qingyu stepped forward and kicked him. With a "ouch," the figure fell to the ground instantly.
Before Shen Qingyu could make any further move, Lu Xuyao stepped forward, pulled out the man's belt, and started tying him up.
Shen Qingyu raised her eyebrows in surprise. Her man was really good. This technique was quite good.
She still went forward to check and see that the rope was tied tightly and would not let the thief escape. Shen Qingyu pulled the man up and asked casually, "Who did you learn this rope-tying technique from?"
Lu Xuyao's eyes sparkled in the darkness. "I learned this from my colleagues in the factory. Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
Shen Qingyu was looking at the door of the house at this moment. The lock had been pried open. She frowned. It seemed that she could not let the thief off easily. This man was so abominable that he broke the door lock and no one knew what he had stolen.
She was feeling unhappy at the moment, so she just perfunctorily said to the man, "Yeah."
Shen Qingyu took the flashlight from Lu Xuyao and checked the house. Except for the kitchen which was turned upside down, there were no signs of tampering anywhere else.
It seems that the thief came for the food.
Shen Qingyu took a quilt from the cupboard and called the man beside her to walk out, walking along the wall just like when they came in.
When she got outside, she heard a sound coming from far away, and she looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Shen Qingyu spotted the person coming at a glance, and soon Shen Yuan and the other man came closer.
Before they got off their bicycles, Shen Qingyu pointed to the yard and said, "I caught a thief in the yard. He's been tied up. It's a good opportunity for you two to deal with him."
Then he said to Lu Xuyao, "Ayao, you stay too. I will go there by myself."
Shen Yuan glanced at the woman and said, "I'll go with you. This is Qin Xiao's home. There's no danger."
Shen Qingyu thought about it and nodded in agreement. He watched Qin Xiao and Lu Xuyao enter the yard. The two of them picked up their belongings and walked towards the cowshed.
The cowshed is close to the back mountain and not far from Qin Xiao’s home, just a few steps away.
Shen Qingyu knew what was going on inside. When she got closer, she heard faint breathing sounds from inside, so she motioned for Shen Yuan to move back.
There were too many people, and she was worried that the elderly people would be scared. They had already suffered the most terrible evil in the world. If a stranger came in the middle of the night, they would be on guard even if he had good intentions.
Shen Yuan obediently hid behind the wall.
Shen Qingyu approached the broken wooden door and whispered, "Can the person inside come out for a moment?"
There was no sound coming from the cowshed. Shen Qingyu called out twice again. She was waiting for a reply from the person inside.
Inside the cowshed, the first person to hear the voice was a gray-haired old man. He tensed up and said to another old man who was trying to keep each other warm, "Who could this be? We don't seem to know anyone here. Are they here to cause trouble?"
"You old man, we are just a bunch of bones left, what are you afraid of? I'm going to go out and see who it is."
As the stubborn old man said this, he climbed up from the cold thatch and walked towards the door in the dark.
When Shen Qingyu heard someone coming, she was a little nervous, after all, they didn't know each other.
Soon, the broken wooden door was slowly opened, and Shen Qingyu saw that a short old man came out. The old man had a scar on his cheek and a hunched body, but his eyes were very sharp.
Even in the dark, Shen Qingyu could still feel that iron-blooded aura.
This can't be an old soldier, Shen Qingyu thought to himself.
The two looked at each other, and after a while, the old man asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Qingyu was a little speechless for a moment, she stammered, "Ah, I'm here to deliver something, someone asked me to deliver it."
Then she quickly handed over the quilt, Xiaomi, and the still warm lunch box.
"Here you go. It's all here. I'll leave after I deliver it there."
After handing the things to the old man, Shen Qingyu walked back. When she passed Shen Yuan, she grabbed the man and left silently.
After they disappeared, the old man withdrew his gaze, looked at the thing in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
It was not until he heard a faint call from inside that he closed the wooden door, picked up his things, and walked inside.
"Who is it? What are you holding?"
He saw Old Man Li coming back holding a black ball.
Old man Li put the things on the straw, and his voice was unremarkable. "Let's see if I know."
He put the quilt aside and opened another package. It was dark and cold in the night, but he touched the warm lunch box.
His eyes couldn't help but become moist as he took them out one by one, four in total. There was a small bag inside and he knew it was rice just by touching it. There was also a hard thing that weighed about two kilograms. Old man Li leaned in to smell it and it smelled like bacon.
He was just about to put the remaining empty bag aside when he felt there was something else inside.
Finally, he took out a paper bag from inside. It was not big. He squeezed it with his hands and found something like pills inside.
Old Li was really excited this time, and hurriedly called Wang Yuandao beside him, "Old Wang, come and take out your heirloom lighter and shine it for me. There seems to be medicine in it. The old woman can be saved."
When Old Man Wang Yuandao heard this, he immediately took out his precious lighter from his secret pocket.
With a skillful slide, a flame lit up. Old man Li opened the newspaper, which contained two kinds of pills. He usually had these two kinds of pills in reserve at home, so he recognized them both.
Seeing that it was cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself, "Hurry and feed it to that old woman."
