345: Who beat up these people?

"Old woman, I'll go take a look with them."

Some families living dozens of meters away from the Xiao Family in the village were also woken up by the noise.

At this moment, some people were holding oil lamps, wanting to check out the situation.

Others were a bit scared and dared not come out to investigate.

Xiao Niannian blew a whistle.

After The Monkeys heard the whistle, they immediately stopped beating people and quickly ran away.

Xiao Niannian then opened the door. After opening it, her gaze met Lu Jing's.

Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian with a smile on his face.

Shen Yan heard the whistle and the sound of many footsteps disappearing.

He also opened the door, and seeing the few people lying in the yard, he looked on in shock.

Who exactly beat up these people?

Could it be Brother Lu and Sister Xiao?

These little thieves are truly audacious, daring to come here to steal things.

"Help!"

Shen Yan looked up and saw Brother Lu and Sister Xiao standing side-by-side on the balcony. He and his brother hadn't come out of the room, and Grandma Xiao's door hadn't opened either.

So who beat up this group of people?

Could it be that Brother Lu brought Special Combat Members over?

But he didn't notice anything at all!

"Ah..."

"It hurts so much."

Xiao Xiaoshu and Xiao Dashu ran over, carrying hoes and iron rods.

"Niannian, what happened?"

Xiao Shu climbed directly over the wall and ran in.

Right after jumping down, he saw several people lying on the ground howling.

"Who are these people?"

Seeing the four people lying on the ground, with Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan standing not far away.

Xiao Xiaoshu felt much more relieved. With these people here, Sixth Aunt and Niannian wouldn't be in danger.

"They brought knockout drops, and they probably brought knives too."

Xiao Niannian's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiaoshu quickly ran over.

After a careful search, he pulled out bamboo tubes, knives, and daggers from their bodies.

Seeing these items, Xiao Xiaoshu was so angry that he kicked them hard.

"Ah."

"Mercy!"

These people had been beaten so badly they had no strength left to fight back.

"What happened?"

"Did someone come to Sixth Aunt's house to steal?"

"Daring to steal in Xiao Family Village, beat them to death!"

Many people arrived outside the courtyard. Some were knocking on the door, and everyone was worried about Grandma Xiao and Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian jumped directly down from the balcony.

Shen Yan was so startled he took a step back.

Why did Sister Xiao jump down so gracefully?

The next second, Lu Jing appeared in front of him. Holy cow, Brother Lu's movements were handsome too.

Xiao Dashu had already run over and opened the courtyard gate.

Village Head Xiao rushed in with a dozen people. Village Head Xiao held a wood-chopping knife, while the others carried flashlights, and some also had wooden sticks or knives.

"Niannian, are you alright?"

Village Head Xiao saw the four people lying on the ground and looked worriedly at Xiao Niannian.

"We're fine."

Grandma Xiao also walked out at this time.

"Sixth Sister-in-law."

"Sixth Aunt, are you alright?"

"Sixth Grandma, are you doing well?"

Many voices expressing concern rang out.

Grandma Xiao looked at them, deeply moved, and said with a smile.

"Thank you everyone, Niannian and I are fine."

Village Head Xiao looked at the two people on the ground and said.

"Sister-in-law Xiao, when dawn breaks, I'll have Xiao Shu and them bring two puppies over. Having puppies guard the house at night will be safer, and if there's any commotion, we can rush over in time..."

"Thank you."

Xiao Niannian listened to Tenth Grandfather's words. She had originally wanted Grandma to raise dogs too.

She had instructed The Monkeys long ago to always have monkeys watching, and if there was trouble, they should deal with anyone who broke into the courtyard. That's why she didn't open the door when she heard someone break into the courtyard today.

Grandma had refused at the time, saying she didn't want to raise dogs.

Xiao Niannian walked up to Grandma and said.

"Grandma, if you raise one puppy, I'll feel more at ease knowing it's keeping you company."

It wasn't that Grandma Xiao didn't want to raise a dog. Grandma Xiao had somewhat guessed what happened during the time The Monkeys violently beat up Wang Dazhuang and Xiao Dong. She was afraid that if she raised a dog, when The Monkeys came over, the dog might discover them and bark too loudly, attracting the surrounding neighbors... But now, it really was better to raise a dog, otherwise, if these bad people simply picked the lock, it would be dangerous.

Niannian would also worry about her while she was at the Military Academy.

She just didn't know if The Monkeys and the puppy could coexist peacefully?

"Alright, Tenth Younger Brother, Sixth Sister-in-law will listen to you. We'll just raise one."

Raising too many wasn't good; people would gossip. She already didn't participate in village labor, and raising two puppies would lead people to say she was wasting food... Village Head Xiao knew Sixth Sister-in-law's thoughts. Raising a dog indeed required some food, but they could use sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, winter melons, or coarse grains. Some people would feed them vegetable leaves and the like.

Nowadays, people rarely fed dogs rice or flour.

If people couldn't eat rice or flour every day, let alone dogs.

"Good, Xiao Shu will bring a puppy over shortly."

Although they were called puppies, they were already two or three months old, and their size was a bit bigger now. They were usually very obedient, but they would bark loudly when strangers passed by... Xiao Xiaoshu and Xiao Dashu tied up the men with ropes. These men were bruised and swollen, unrecognizable from their original appearance.

Just as they were talking and asking about the origins of these people, Xiao Niannian heard a puppy barking.

"Woof woof woof."

Xiao Niannian saw a little black dog running towards her. When it reached her side, it circled her legs, wagging its tail.

Seeing its adorable appearance, Xiao Niannian squatted down and stroked the puppy's head.

"Niannian, this puppy has fate with you. Tenth Grandfather intended to give this dog to you anyway." Village Head Xiao said, laughing heartily as he watched the scene.

"Woof woof woof."

The puppy barked at Xiao Niannian.

Master, if you keep me, I will be very obedient.

Xiao Niannian understood the dog's meaning.

"Alright, we'll keep it. It can guard the house and yard from now on."

Hearing Xiao Niannian say she would keep it, the puppy happily rolled around on the ground.

Xiao Niannian picked up the puppy, looked at the four criminals on the ground, and said.

"Tenth Grandfather, please trouble someone to make a phone call and notify the comrades at the Public Security Bureau to thoroughly interrogate them about their origins..."

Lu Jing's voice sounded.

"Niannian, I have already contacted the Military Region in Xiang Province using the radio. They will immediately send people to take over the investigation..."

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing. She had seen Lu Jing walk outside just now.

"We need to report to the Public Security Bureau, but the investigation will be a joint one..."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

That would certainly be better. Xiao Niannian suspected that these people were related to Director Wang and his group. If they were related to Director Wang and his group, that would be acceptable, but if they were related to Mao Xiong or the USA, the situation would be much more serious... "That's wonderful. Tenth Grandfather has already sent someone to the Production Brigade Office to make the call..." Village Head Xiao looked happily at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian.
