Chapter 61 Niu Datou Leads Men to Steal Grain
It hasn't started to get cold in Sichuan and Chongqing yet.
You don't have to worry about getting cold while guarding the warehouse.
They wouldn't let you lay out dry straw or bring your own bedding just to prevent the guards from falling asleep.
I placed a stool against the wall, and that's how I spent the night dozing off.
Around two or three in the morning, when everyone is sound asleep, someone sneaks into the storage room in the dark.
A faint beam of light shone on the ground, and a low voice said, "Brother Niu, the boss said that you'll get 30% of the grain we got today."
"Isn't it supposed to be the fourth floor?" Niu Datou frowned in dissatisfaction.
The fact that the agreed-upon plan was changed at the last minute made him very unhappy.
"That was the initial price, but now you're asking us to help break the legs of that kid on night watch, right? This is the payment."
Niu Datou's eyes revealed a ruthless intent. "Break his legs for me."
Even if it's a little less money, it's fine.
Once Lu Yuanqing becomes a cripple, how can he interfere in his and Lu Yuanhuan's affairs?
Moreover, if Lu Yuanhuan loses his support and the Lu family falls back into dire straits, they might even be able to wait for Lu Yuanhuan to come knocking on their door.
Thinking about it this way, Niu Datou immediately felt much better.
"Come on, let's go to the back. The sweet potatoes that the village just harvested are in the front room, and the corn and millet that were harvested in the fall are in the back room!" Niu Datou waved for everyone to follow.
"Don't worry, Brother Niu, the brothers will definitely teach that kid a lesson and let you vent your anger," the weasel-faced man assured him, patting his chest.
The group, including Niu Datou, made up five people in total, and along with two carts, headed straight for the village warehouse.
Niu Datou, familiar with the terrain, led the way, circling around to the back of the warehouse. The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face took out an iron chain wrapped around his waist, which was at least ten meters long.
The man shook the iron chain, flicked his wrist, and the iron claw at one end of the chain firmly gripped the wood on the roof.
A skinny monkey stepped forward, grabbed an iron chain, and with a few swift movements, climbed onto the roof.
After all, it used to be an ancestral hall, and it was converted into a warehouse. Once the gate is locked, it is not easy to enter from the surrounding area.
The only place you can get in is the roof.
The skinny monkey was thin enough to fit through the roof.
He lifted a few tiles, and the skinny monkey took out a small flashlight from his pocket, covered the bulb with white paper, and shone it downwards.
Lu Yuanqing was fast asleep inside the room.
Skinny Monkey quickly made a gesture to Big Head Niu and the others.
"Go down and open the door!"
The iron chain was thrown into the house, and the skinny monkey fell down silently.
As soon as he landed, the skinny monkey made a quick move, covering his mouth and striking his back with great speed and efficiency.
Lu Yuanqing was knocked unconscious without making a sound.
The skinny monkey smiled smugly, then turned to open the door for the people outside.
A group of people walked in casually.
"Brothers, hurry up and move it! There's so much grain!"
"Keep your voice down and be gentle."
"Ok!"
Niu Datou didn't participate in moving the grain; he went straight to Lu Yuanqing as soon as he entered the house.
Looking at Lu Yuanqing lying on the ground like a dead dog, he recalled the humiliation he had caused him a few days ago, and a murderous intent arose within him.
In a fit of rage, he picked up a stool and swung it straight at Lu Yuanqing's forehead.
"What are you doing?" Upon seeing this, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face quickly dropped the food he was holding to stop him. "We agreed that we would only take money and not kill anyone."
Having grain stolen is different from having grain stolen and then being killed.
These people are all repeat offenders, but their purpose is only to steal grain to sell for money and live a better life, not to kill people and be arrested everywhere.
"I was just too angry..."
The man chuckled, "I don't know what grudge you have, but I'll remember this favor for helping us steal the grain. Once we've moved all the grain out, we'll come back and teach him a lesson. Anyway, he's already unconscious and won't wake up anytime soon."
"Come and move the grain! That's the most important thing."
"Hmph, I'm going to cripple him later." Niu Datou kicked Lu Yuanqing on the ground, then turned around and went to help carry the grain.
He can get 40% of the grain once it's sold, which is definitely more important than teaching Lu Yuanqing a lesson.
There were five people in total, carrying the grain back and forth, bag by bag, completely absorbed and unaware that the person lying on the ground had moved.
Lu Yuanqing felt uncomfortable from the stones on the ground and asked the system in his mind, "How many people are in the house now?"
"Two people, the other three just moved out." The system prompted: "Host, when are you going to start? Wait a little longer, the two carts they brought are almost full."
This was clearly a purposeful operation; they even brought their own bags. Two people were responsible for packing the bags, and three were responsible for carrying them. They worked together very well.
"What's the rush? It's not full yet!" Lu Yuanqing said calmly. "I don't know where Niu Datou got to know these people. They're all unfamiliar faces, and judging from their actions, they're definitely repeat offenders!"
"From the next county."
"So far away? How does Niu Datou know someone so far away?" Lu Yuanqing asked in confusion.
“Niu Datou’s mother was sold here by her family during the famine. Liang’an County is considered Niu Datou’s maternal home, and some of his maternal relatives are involved in this business, so…”
"Oh!" Lu Yuanqing suddenly realized, "I was wondering why this kid didn't seem like someone who could keep his composure for long, but he waited for so many days this time. It turns out the person he was trying to shake was too far away!"
"Hey, let's not talk about that now. System, are you sure the stun gun you gave me can knock out an adult in three seconds?"
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
If it weren't for this guarantee from the system, he wouldn't have knowingly left alone to guard the warehouse, even though he knew Niu Datou wanted to take revenge on him.
"System products are always top-notch, host, don't worry!" System 666 said, "Get up quickly, those three have carried them out again, now there are only two left, and they are not paying attention to you, you can launch a sneak attack."
With the system's help, Lu Yuanqing was not afraid at all. Upon hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes and got up, and the pain in his neck instantly became even more intense.
Lu Yuanqing carefully held the stun gun while cursing the bastard who had chopped off his neck.
The other two people inside were still busy bagging the grain; one was holding the bag while the other was quickly scooping grain from the granary with a dustpan.
MD!
There was only a little over a thousand catties of rice left, and there was no intention of leaving any for them!
Lu Yuanqing seized the opportunity. While the skinny monkey squatted down to scoop up the grain, he ran over quickly, and the stun gun in his hand arrived faster than a person, slamming it straight into the waist of the person holding the bag.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
boom!
The man fell straight to the ground.
The skinny monkey, who was squatting, suddenly looked up in fright, and the first thing it saw was a thin stick.
Before he could even see who was holding the stick, he felt an electric shock all over his body, and then... then he felt nothing at all.
"System, this is the bastard who just chopped my neck, right?" Lu Yuanqing stabbed the skinny monkey menacingly, showing no intention of stopping.
"Host, calm down, the other three will be back soon."
"Hmph, kid, I'll deal with you later!" Lu Yuanqing didn't hesitate for a moment, then turned around and hid behind the door.
When the three returned, they didn't come together; they came one after the other, which gave Lu Yuanqing the perfect opportunity.
One came in, and he took one down.
When one of them was placed there, he would drag his leg and hide by the door.
He came in again and knocked her down again.
In just over ten minutes, he had taken down all five thieves.
They found a rope in the warehouse and tied the five people together.
Only then did Lu Yuanqing feel as if he had finally done a great job and could rest and breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the 'corpse' contorted in a grotesque position on the ground, Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow.
and so……
How can we disguise it as a major battle?
It was done so easily, it's a bit suspicious!
"Host, you should call for help first! As for the rest, I trust your ability to improvise."
"Come on! I can't expose this!" Lu Yuanqing shook the stun gun he was still holding.
"If I can't figure it out, I won't. Whatever!" Lu Yuanqing scratched his head in frustration. If he couldn't figure it out, he'd just let everyone think he was incredibly strong!
Let everyone guess!
Once he understood, Lu Yuanqing first pushed the cart, which the thief had almost filled, back and placed it at the warehouse entrance.
Then he shouted into the village, "Someone is stealing grain! Someone is stealing grain..."
