There was no response.
The two of them looked at each other and had bad feelings in their hearts.
Then, the two of them climbed down the ladder. When they came down in the dark, they bent over and whispered, “Lin Youcai, Lin Youcai…”
“Ah!” A frightened scream followed.
They were surrounded by lit torches, and standing in front of them was a majestic white tiger. A girl was sitting on the tiger’s back, and there were five to six men around them. At their feet was a curled-up figure. Without a doubt, this person was Lin Youcai.
The two of them were so frightened that they immediately threw away the sacks they were carrying. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were weak as they lay on the ground.
Lin Yuelan rode on the tiger’s back and looked at the three people lying on the ground. Then, she looked at the three sacks in front of them. She sneered and said to the three people, “it looks like you have a good harvest. Did you take away all the rice and meat in my storage, Lin Youcai, Zhou Lin, and the Li village’s Li Erlai. ”
Lin Youcai was a ruffian from the Lin family Village, while Zhou Lin was a gambling addict from the Zhou Family Village. He was also the son of Zhou Ping, who had previously sold his land to Lin Yuelan. Li Erlai was a hopeless ruffian from the Li village.
The three of them were pale and covered in a cold sweat. They stared at the big white tiger in front of them in panic and fear, unable to say a word.
Lin Yuelan didn’t wait for them to answer. Her tone changed, and she shouted coldly, “we’ve caught you red-handed. This time, what do you have to say?”
Lin Youcai and Zhou Lin were well aware of Lin Yuelan’s abilities. They knew that they were no match for her. However, even though Li Erlai had heard of Lin Yuelan, he had not seen her. He was more afraid of the tiger and the men who had surrounded them.
He also knew that they could not escape at all.
However, he was also a clever person. Seeing a girl sitting calmly on the tiger’s back, and with her as the center of these people, he knew that she was the shot-caller.
He lowered his head, and his face was pale. Under his lowered eyes, a fierce light flashed quickly.
He immediately knelt down in front of Lin Yuelan and pointed a finger at Lin Youcai. He said in a trembling voice, “miss, it’s not my fault. He said that there was a lot of meat here and asked us to steal it. I didn’t want to come at first, but he kept urging me to come. I didn’t want to steal, and I was forced, so it’s not my fault.”
When Lin Youcai heard Li Er Laizi pushing the blame on him, he immediately trembled in anger. He was angry, nervous, and scared. He shouted at Li Erlai, “you are such a rascal. Do you think you can push the blame on me? In your dreams. I’m telling you, we’re all caught in this.”
Then, he smiled apologetically at Lin Yuelan with fear in his heart and said in a flattering manner, “Lan ‘Er, Lan ‘Er, uncle didn’t mean to steal your meat and rice. It’s just that…” With a sad and pitiful expression, he said to Lin Yuelan, “you know me, I have an old mother and a young son. They’ve been starving for a long time. It’s all my fault for being useless … So I came here to steal rice and meat. Lan ‘Er, please forgive me this time. I won’t dare to steal it again. ”
Lin Youcai was playing the sympathy card. He wanted to make use of Lin Yuelan’s kindness to let him off.
However, Lin Yuelan chuckled and said, “Lin Youcai, I only have a grandfather in my family. I don’t have an uncle. Please don’t call yourself my uncle. And you are indeed useless. You’re perfectly healthy, but you refuse to work. You starved your own mother and son until they were only skin and bones.” she said coldly, “of course, your family’s matters have nothing to do with me. But since you’ve stolen from me, you should be prepared to pay the price.”
Then, Lin Yuelan gently patted little white’s head. She lowered her head and asked with a smile, “little white, you haven’t eaten raw meat recently, have you?”
