when he spoke was deeper than usual, a touch raspy, irresistibly sexy."Don't move, I'll take you to wash up."Fāng Jǐnxiù blushed and asked, "It's so cold in the mountains at night, where are we going...Zong Yu led the over twenty people from Fangjia Village to Li Muhai's wooden houses. At that time, Fang Jinshi was insightful and had foresight. The wooden houses were built in abundance, and their area was quite spacious.

The house can accommodate six people, with wooden bunk beds.

All the wooden houses were connected, huddled together like a small village.

It's not difficult to arrange for twenty or so people to stay here.

After they had settled the people, they went home.

Zongyu lit the torch in his hand first, and Zongbei had already run over to them.

Fang Jinshui, in the light of the fire, saw Zong Bai's face and was stunned.

"We only left for less than four days, what major event happened at home"

"Xiao Bai, how did you lose weight"

Zong Bai was raised by her own hands, white and tender. Fang Jinxiu's eyes were filled with pity.

"Sister-in-law, brother, you're finally back."

Fang Jinxiu saw the child's face about to cry, and wanted to reach out and pat his arm.

I want to touch my little brother's head, but I can't reach it.

That little rascal has grown so tall!

"Don't worry, since I and your brother are back, we'll take care of the rest."

"You still have classes tomorrow, it's so late, go back to sleep first."

"If children don't sleep well, they won't grow tall."

"Huh" Zong Bai froze in place.

Sleep Where could he possibly sleep now

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that if I grew any taller, you'd get poked a hole by me"

"I can't sleep, you guys probably don't know what happened yet, let me tell you."

Before Zong Bai could open his mouth, Fang Jinxiu raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Wait here for a moment, Zong Bai. I'll introduce you to someone."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zong Yu pulled the person bound behind him to the front.

Half an incense stick later, the courtyard of Zong's family was brightly lit.

When Mu Shi and Yu Lian, along with the other women in the household, learned that Fang Jinxiu and the others had returned, they all got up and came out.

Yu Lian saw Fang Jinxiu and ran towards her, hugging her arm tightly and refusing to let go.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back."

The whole family was up, making quite a commotion. It was cold at night, and Fang Jinshu didn't feel comfortable leaving her mother-in-law alone.

Then, hand this person on the ground over to Zongyu for handling.

She took Yulian's hand and helped Mu Shi back to the room first. After reporting their safety, she spent some effort coaxing everyone back to sleep.

By the time Fang Jinshu came out again, Zong Yu was no longer in the courtyard. Only Zong Bai and the bound person remained.

"Sister-in-law, how did you know this man is the thief who stole our seeds"

"How did you catch him"

Fang Jinxiu smiled, "Didn't your older brother tell you just now"

Zong Bai awkwardly scratched his head, "My big brother isn't good at explaining these things. I told him that Tie Zhu Ge was going to catch the seed thief and ran up the mountain. Chang He and Zong Hu Ge took people up the mountain to find him, and Xia Hua also went."

"I was worried that Xiaohua would accidentally hurt Tiezhu Ge, so as soon as I finished speaking, Big Brother turned his head and went up the mountain."

Fang Jinshi nodded. "Since your older brother has already gone up the mountain, let's not worry about what happens there."

"Just deal with the person in front of you for now."

Fang Jinshu forcefully pulled the cloth out of the man's mouth. He was shivering from the cold, his face ashen, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence after trembling for a long time.

Zong Bai quickly built a bonfire in the yard with firewood. After the man calmed down, he spoke up.

"Who are you How did you get into our village Who gave you the guts to steal the seeds from my field!"

Fang Jinshi had been quietly observing the man. The village of Yemiao wasn't large, and she knew almost everyone in it. This man was definitely not from their village.

But this appearance, Fang Jinshi always felt familiar.

Zhong Bai asked for a long time, the person refused to say anything, unexpectedly there was some backbone.

If you don't say anything, don't blame us for turning you over to the authorities. Once you're in their hands, no matter what you have to say, no one will listen.

Upon hearing the words "government official," the man visibly shrank back, though he wasn't entirely unresponsive. He was still very afraid.

Even so, he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The other party and their family had no reason to feud, nor did they know each other. The possibility of them having a grudge is very small.

Then, the only reason he would rather go to jail than speak was because...

He was sent by someone else and is under their control. He can't say anything even if he's caught.

Fang Jinshi smiled and suddenly stepped forward to untie the rope for him.

Zong Bai was shocked, "Sister-in-law, no!"

Fāng Jǐnxiù waved her hand, "Zōngbǎi, go get this big brother a bowl of hot water. Don't let him catch a cold."

Not to mention Zongbai, even the seed thief was stunned, raising his head in astonishment to look at Fang Jinshu.ack lines.It's pointless trying to explain this to her family, especially that big oaf of a husband. If he could actually sense the romantic tension in the air, he wouldn't be single for so many years...
