80s Taoism

"There is peace, there is peace."

Before Zhang Youping and his wife got up, they heard someone calling the door outside.

"Who came to call the door so early?" Liu Qiaoye muttered.

"It seems to be Uncle Jiwang." Zhang Youping quickly put on his clothes, and then called out, "Uncle Jiwang, wait a minute, I'll get up right away."

Zhang Jiwang stood in front of the porch, walking back and forth anxiously like ants on a hot nest. From time to time, he looked at the window of Zhang Youping's room. After waiting for a while, I heard the door knocking, and hurriedly walked towards the door.

Zhang Youping opened the door, and it was strange to see Zhang Jiwang in such a hurry, "Uncle Jiwang, what's the matter?"

"Stop talking. Yesterday, the beggar told us about a pot of money buried under our bed. After returning home, I worried that it would not be safe to keep the money there, so I dug out the pot. Who knew that just after I dug it up, my aunt called me to help her stack the twine. I ran back to the room in a hurry, and the jar of money was gone! I want to report the crime, so I can use your factory phone to make a call." Zhang Jiwang wept.

"Okay, come with me quickly. How much money did you put in the jar?" Zhang Youping was very anxious when he heard that this matter was related to beggars.

"All my net worth is in it. Calculated, the total is probably one or two thousand yuan. I have to ask your aunt about this. This goddamn thief!" Zhang Jiwang felt more distressed the more he said.

Zhang Youping led Zhang Jiwang to the office of the tea factory, and asked, "How did the beggar know that you buried the money under the bed? I haven't even heard of it."

"Isn't your aunt talking too much? The other day, she told me to dig out the jar to see if the money in it was moldy. I put quicklime in the jar, so how could it be moldy? Maybe the beggar just passed by my door and heard it. I asked for it yesterday. I made a joke about the beggar, but the beggar told me about it as a joke. If I didn't feel guilty and dug it out yesterday, I'm afraid it's okay. It must be those short-lived ghosts. , I must have heard about this incident, and I did it last night. These gods are murdered. I really want to be caught and shot." Zhang Jiwang was already gnashing his teeth when he said this.

"Father, Grandpa Jiwang, what are you doing?" Zhang Jiaohua jumped off the stake on the gardening field. It rained a little last night, and it was not very convenient to go up the mountain, so Zhang Jiaohua stood at the gardening field early in the morning.

"It's not because of you! Brat, I'll settle the score with you later." Zhang Youping glared at the beggar.

"I can't blame the beggar for this matter. The beggar only told me as a joke, and the child doesn't know the seriousness. How could he know that he would be overheard by a thief? Don't blame the beggar." Zhang Jiwang was afraid that Zhang Youping would beat the beggar.

"Grandpa Jiwang, what's wrong with me?" Zhang Jiaohua became even more interested. He is not afraid of his father Zhang Youping's threat of force.

"Last night, your grandpa Jiwang lost a thief (throwing a thief, meaning throwing something)." Zhang Youping said angrily.

"Ah! Grandpa Jiwang, someone stole your money jar?" Zhang Jiaohua reacted quickly.

"Yes. It's not your fault. It's my fault for not hiding the jar properly," Zhang Jiwang said.

"Then hurry up and catch the thief. It rained a little last night, there will definitely be footprints. Let me help you catch the thief." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Kids, don't get in the way. Uncle Jiwang, let's report the crime." Zhang Youping glared at the beggar again, and when he heard that Zhang Jiwang's family had lost something because of the beggar, Zhang Youping was annoyed.

Zhang Jiaohua scratched his head, whistled, and ran quickly to Zhang Jiwang's house.

The diamond mountain leopard ran over quickly, with a large group of mountain dogs behind it.

The little fat monkey and the fat cat also ran out.

The yard of Zhang Jiwang's house was already surrounded by villagers from Meizitang. There hadn't been such a serious theft in the village for many years. This theft suddenly tensed everyone's nerves.

"Well, people are different now. At the time of the production team, there was no need to close the door at all, and there were no thieves. In recent years, there have been more and more thieves. Last year, at Shibei Liu's 30th night, he watched TV in his room while he stole all the bacon from the kitchen. The thieves became more and more courageous."

"No, if this is in the production team, search every house and every household. If you find out, you will be arrested and sent to labor reform. You will also be criticized. If you don't die, you will have to peel off your skin."

"It's all because of the beggar's talkativeness. If the beggar hadn't said that Uncle Jiwang's house had a jar of money hidden under his bed, who would have known that Uncle Jiwang's house had a jar of money in it?

"I really can't see that Uncle Ji Wang has accumulated so much money."

When Zhang Jiaohua arrived at Zhang Jiwang's house, the villagers were talking about it.

"Being a flower, it's all because of your talkativeness. It's all right now. Jiwang's family's money pot is lost. This is caused by you, and you have to lose money." Zhang Enzhong came out and said.

"Whether to pay or not, it's not up to you." Zhang Jiaohua said angrily. He couldn't understand Zhang Enzhong's weird look.

"If you hadn't talked nonsense yesterday, who would have known about Jiwang's money jar? That thief must have heard what you said, and then decided to steal Jiwang's money. Can you say that you have no responsibility at all?" Zhang Enzhong said.

"I'll just catch that thief." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Just you? You'd better not move now. Uncle Ji Wang has gone to report the crime. Don't make trouble and destroy the scene of the crime." Zhang Enzhong said. Everyone is also someone who has watched detective movies, and they all know how to protect the scene.

"That's right, Jiaohua, don't make trouble this time. If the police come, maybe you can still find the thief." Zhang Qigao said hastily.

"When the police arrive, the day lily will be cold. If the thief who stole the money runs away and hides, the police will be of no use. Just before the thief runs away, he might be able to catch him. The money probably hasn't been spent yet," Zhang Jiaohua said.

"The caller is right. It will take a long time for the police to arrive in our village. They may not send people over immediately. It rained a little last night, and the thief stole the money, so he must still be hiding at home. But at dawn, he may have gone outside. I hope the police station can send people to solve the case quickly," Zhang Qigao said.

"To solve this case, we must have police dogs. Where did the police dogs come from?" Zhang Jingbing said.

While everyone was talking, Zhang Jiaohua patted Zuan Shanbao on the head, and Zuan Shanbao sneaked to the back of Zhang Jiwang's house.

The thieves knocked in the back door of Zhang Jiwang's house, leaving a string of clear shoe prints on the soil behind the house. The pattern of the sole is clearly printed on the soil. The site is still very well preserved. Diamond Mountain Leopard walked around behind the house, then ran back to Zhang Jiaohua's side, and rubbed its head on Zhang Jiaohua's body.

Zhang Jiaohua naturally knew that the Diamond Mountain Leopard must have found something, and immediately followed the Diamond Mountain Leopard.

"Beggar, don't go away! You haven't paid Uncle Jiwang's money yet!" Zhang Enzhong was a little bit reluctant.

"I'll catch the thief who stole the money later." Zhang Jiaohua ignored Zhang Enzhong, left without saying a word.

"And found the thief who stole the money! It's clearly evading responsibility." Zhang Enzhong snorted.

"Enzhong, you are too outrageous. Why do you always feel sorry for the beggar? Can you blame the beggar for this? He was just talking casually. Who would have thought that the thief would overhear it?" Zhang Qigao said dissatisfied.

"You all had Zhang Youping's reputation in the tea factory, so of course you spoke for the beggar. It was obviously caused by the beggar. If you don't blame him, who else can you blame?" Zhang Enzhong said dissatisfied.

But Zhang Youping led Zhang Jiwang to the office of the tea factory. The telephone in the office was the most advanced thing here, and it was covered with a piece of silk cloth for fear of getting dust.

Zhang Youping called the police station.

"Excuse me, is this the police station?" Zhang Youping asked.

"Yes, where are you? What's the matter?" asked the police station.

"I am the tea factory in Meizi'ao Village. Last night, the villagers in our village were burglarized and thousands of yuan in cash were stolen. Can you send someone over as soon as possible?" Zhang Youping asked.

"A few cows were lost at Matou Bridge yesterday, and all the comrades from the police station were sent there. Now there is no way to send people here. Even if they come, they can't solve the case. Police dogs are needed to catch the thief. Now the only police dogs in the county are sent to Matou Bridge to catch the cattle thief. It is impossible for you to send them here. We have no choice." The person at the police station said.

If it weren't for the call from Meizi'ao Tea Factory, it would be impossible for them to be so polite. They naturally knew that the factory director of Meiziao had a good relationship with Luo Changjun, the deputy county magistrate. Moreover, Luo Changjun was also a member of the Gezhuping Town Police Station. With this important relationship, people are still polite.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Youping frowned, "Uncle Jiwang, this is a difficult situation. Several cows have been lost at Matou Bridge. The police station doesn't care about this."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Jiwang was anxious.

"How about we mobilize people in the village to look around?" Zhang Youping asked.

"It's not that the cattle have been lost. It's not easy to mobilize the villagers. It's also impossible to go door-to-door to search." Zhang Jiwang shook his head.

"Where is the caller?" Zhang Youping suddenly found that Zhang caller had not followed.

"Could it be that he went to my house? If the scene of the crime is destroyed, it will be troublesome." Zhang Jiwang thought of a possibility.

"Oh, hurry up and have a look!" Zhang Youping knew that his cub was really brave.
