Ye Zhen didn't pay much attention to the loss of the two bricks. In her opinion, they were just two bricks, and she couldn't let it delay her time to build a new house.

But for the villagers, this incident made them angry and suspicious at the same time. The women who came to help looked at the workers with suspicion from time to time.

They must have trust in their own people, but with the matter of asking for rewards at the front, the women will inevitably wonder if such a thing happened again because the workers failed to ask for rewards yesterday.

The workers are also suffering.

When the master's family lost a brick, they were the first to be suspected, but they were indeed innocent.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen didn't intend to go into details and suppressed the matter.

The day passed by in a hurry. After tidying up the things in the yard, the sun in the sky completely disappeared.

As soon as she walked into the house, Ye Zhen saw Lin Bin sitting in the outer room, his head lowered without saying a word.

"What's wrong?"

By now, they should have finished washing and gone back to their rooms.

Although Lin Bin recovered well, there were many wounds on his body, so Ye Zhen still asked him to rest as much as possible.

When Lin Bin heard the voice, he looked up at Ye Zhen, his face with strong lines was very calm.

"I heard that two pieces of the green bricks delivered from the brick kiln were stolen?"

Upon hearing the other party asking about this matter, Ye Zhen smiled helplessly, as the matter had spread throughout the village.

She waved her hands and said warmly:

"It's okay, it's just two bricks, not worth much. You should wash up quickly and go to rest. Look at the injuries on your body, they haven't healed yet!"

In the past few days, because he often went out to walk around, Lin Bin no longer wore a naked shirt covered with bandages, but found an old robe from Xie Yunshu to wear.

Xie Yunshu was a few years older than Lin Bin, but the latter practiced martial arts all year round and had strong muscles. Even though he was about to die from hunger, he was still quite burly.

Therefore, when this robe was worn on him, it was a tight fit and fortunately it did not fall apart.

It's the white strap around the neck, which is quite conspicuous against the light blue robe.

Lin Bin looked at her silently, then nodded, got up and went back to the back room.

"Are you really not going to investigate the matter of stealing bricks?"

Ye Zhen just turned around and sat down, but before she could take a breath, Xie Yunshu's voice came from behind again.

Xie Yunshu, who walked slowly to her side, looked extremely calm, but he was a little confused.

He knew his family's financial situation, and the loss of two bricks would not affect it, but the security in the village had always been good, so this incident was too strange.

"We are building a new house and there are many people who are confused. If I lose it, why should I have to dig three feet to find out the news? It will really delay the start of the construction. There is no need."

Ye Zhen waved her hands angrily. She couldn't understand why these people were so persistent about such a trivial matter. She didn't take it to heart at all.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Xie Yunshu swallowed his words and had no choice but to go home.

Right at the door of the back room, Lin Bin stood quietly by the door and heard the whole process clearly.

The incident seemed to have just passed.

At midnight, when Ye Zhen was sleeping in a daze, she suddenly heard a noise in the house.

She struggled to open her eyes, only to see a gray figure walking towards the door under the dim candlelight.

"who?!"

The strange sight made her wake up instantly, and she subconsciously opened the system panel, ready to exchange her merit points for weapons at any time.

"It's me."

A quiet and familiar voice sounded, and the figure stopped, revealing its true face in the candlelight.

It turned out to be Lin Bin. Ye Zhen, who was startled, patted her chest and relaxed for a moment.

Before she could ask any more questions, the other party took the initiative to explain:

"I'll get up at night."

The other party's words were still so concise and concise. Ye Zhen waved her hand, turned over and fell asleep further into the bed.

Heavy sleepiness swept over her, and as she fell asleep, she complained in her heart: She still had to build a new house quickly! This was really inconvenient!

Seeing her falling asleep, Lin Bin turned around and continued walking towards the door.

At this moment, three or four gray figures were passing by the door of their house. Their cautious appearance showed that they were not good people at first glance.

Several people were wearing black clothes and stooped, especially when passing by the bamboo house of Ye Zhen's family, they moved softly.

When they reached the place where the green bricks were stacked, they stood up and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Brother Hu, what's the use of trying to steal these bricks? We might as well steal some valuable chickens and ducks!"

Among the few people resting with their backs against the pile of green bricks, a relatively thin man spoke dissatisfiedly.

The work this time was really thankless. The bricks were heavy and far away from their home.

He had to walk for half an hour just to get here, let alone carry several kilograms of bricks back. The trip last night made his hands hurt for a long time during the day.

Sitting among several people, the most majestic man glared at him and said angrily:

"It's not because your kid has been stealing chickens and ducks recently. Everyone in our village is about to find out. We have to find other jobs first to avoid the limelight!"

After being spoken to, the thin man immediately shrank his head and did not dare to speak any more.

And the leading man was still saying to the others:

"I just got the news by chance. This family is rich and they don't care about these bricks at all! Let's transport a few more bricks back. Even if we resell them to people in other villages in the future, we can still make some money!"

Several people nodded one after another, as if he was the only one in charge.

After resting for a while, the man stood up and was about to ask his brother to start transporting bricks.

But as soon as he stood up, he saw a man in blue standing on top of the neatly stacked blue bricks, looking at them coldly.

"Who are you?!"

Encountering this scene suddenly in the middle of the night, even a man who often does sneaky things would still be shocked.

Hearing his voice, several other people stood up one after another and followed his line of sight with panicked expressions.

Lin Bin, who was standing on the green bricks, was still very indifferent. He asked coldly:

"You were the one who stole the blue brick?"

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately understood that they were afraid of being caught on this trip.

The leading man reacted the fastest. He first recalled what the person who revealed the news said to him. Apart from a woman and a child, there was only a cripple and a sick person left in this family.

This is also the reason why they dare to travel several miles here to steal blue bricks.

Although he didn't know how the other person got up, he could see that the bandage exposed on the other person's neck was obviously the patient he said he was suffering from!

How can a sick man be the match for his brothers?!

The man's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said to the people around him:

"Get him!"

Anyway, what happened today has been exposed, and I have to seize the opportunity!

After listening to his words, several people hesitated for a while before surrounding Lin Bin.

These people are all unlearned and unskilled country scoundrels. Apart from stealing and poking around all day long, they have never done any serious bad things.

Therefore, their movements seemed very jerky, at least in Lin Bin's eyes, full of flaws.

Who is Lin Bin? The son of the famous Zhenguo Gong!

He has lived in northern Xinjiang all year round. Even if he has never been to a major battlefield, he has been trained in the military camp for many years.

He didn't even take action against these little hooligans who only relied on brute force. He just moved his feet and they lay on the ground screaming in agony.

The man holding his chest and screaming in pain couldn't figure out why the leg the opponent kicked looked so weak, so it was like an iron rod that made his chest hurt so much that it was about to burst?!

The screams of several people soon attracted the attention of others. The first person to walk out of the bamboo house was Xie Yunshu, his face was extremely solemn.

Ye Zhen followed closely behind, following him towards the source of the sound with a confused look on his face.

"This...is this?"

Seeing the strangers with ferocious and painful expressions in front of them, Ye Zhen became even more confused and looked at Xie Yunshu as if asking for help.

Pursing his lips, Xie Yunshu glanced at Lin Bin, who had already stood back on the ground. His heart moved and he immediately figured out the truth of the matter.

It seems that the other party's martial arts are far superior to his own, so he caught these brick thieves without him noticing.

"These are probably thieves who stole bricks. I didn't expect them to dare to come again!"

Glancing coldly at the people rolling on the ground, Xie Yunshu didn't have the kind heart of Ye Zhen and was ready to drop the matter.

This explanation shocked Ye Zhen. Her eyes flickered between Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin, and finally settled on the latter.

"Bullshit!"

After she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, she took another look at the bandage on the other person's body and asked with some concern:

"You didn't get hurt, did you? You haven't recovered from your injury yet, so you should be more careful."

Lin Bin was startled by the sudden words of concern. He pursed his lips slightly and replied in a low voice:

"No problem."

Seeing the exchanges between the two singing and harmonizing, Xie Yunshu, who was standing aside, looked even worse and said seriously:

"These people are so daring! They dare to steal bricks again and again! We will not let them off lightly!"

He just stole two bricks. It doesn't sound like he committed murder and set fire, right?

He glanced at Xie Yunshu strangely, but Ye Zhen didn't interrupt him at all.

She had really not planned to delve into this matter before, mainly because she was afraid of wasting time. But now that the other party was caught by her own people, she naturally would not give up.

"However, it is too late now, how should we deal with it?"

Scratching her head in frustration, Ye Zhen turned her attention to Xie Yunshu and asked for his opinion.

Feeling that she was watching him, Xie Yunshu calmed down unconsciously and thought for a while before answering:

"Tie them up first and wait until tomorrow."

This is the best way at the moment. Ye Zhen nodded, while Lin Bin was noncommittal.

Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin teamed up to kidnap people. They imprisoned several brick thieves in an abandoned woodshed next to the bamboo house.

Because it has not been used for a long time, it is full of dust and can barely fit four people inside.

In order to prevent them from escaping, Xie Yunshu specially locked the door with rattan and tied it with a tight knot.

In the whole matter, neither of them let Ye Zhen get involved. After all, she was a powerless female and could not come into contact with these thieves.

After locking them up, Ye Zhen was driven into the back room by the two men and slept with Zhao Yi.

The remaining two people slept in the outhouse, opened the door and looked at the two brick thieves.

Several people who were locked up in the woodshed had their hands and feet tied up, and it took a long time to recover from the pain.

"I just said we shouldn't come here! We didn't make any money, and we were caught and beaten! Wuwuwu..."

The thin man who had wanted to quit complained that he was in too much pain and fear and even started crying on the spot regardless of his face.

Several other people were covered in paint. What's more, the hands or legs that were kicked had a large green patch, which looked like bruises.

The leading man was also sweating profusely in pain, and said through gritted teeth:

"It's all that bastard's fault!"
