After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 210: How dare you steal food in broad daylight

"Baby, I'll treat you to some cakes this time, and you'll treat me to some cakes next time, how about that?"

Mu Baobao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, next time I'll treat Master to some pastries."

She didn't bring enough silver this time, so she could only treat her master to pastries next time.

Seeing this, Dr. Deng took her hand and walked around the pastry shop, "Take a look and see what kind of pastries you like."

He asked the shopkeeper to give some of the cakes to Mu Baobao to try.

The shopkeeper was a man with good eyesight. He could tell that Dr. Deng was unusual, so without saying a word, he cut out a little of each kind of cake and handed it to Mu Baobao.

"Little sister, try them and see which one you like."

After seeing Doctor Deng nod, Mu Baobao thanked the shopkeeper, "Thank you, Grandpa."

She took the plate with both hands, picked up a piece, and stood on tiptoe to hand it to Doctor Deng, "Master, try it."

Doctor Deng took a bite and said, "It's a little sweet. I don't really like sweet pastries."

Mu Baobao took a piece and tasted it. He thought it was delicious. "Master, it's delicious."

Doctor Deng, "...there's nothing you don't like."

This child has a very good appetite and is never picky about food. He typically eats whatever is available.

Mu Baobao chuckled, "Master, this red cake is delicious, and this cake is also delicious..."

Her little mouth never stopped, she kept eating and talking.

Doctor Deng selected three kinds of cakes and asked for a little more. After having the shopkeeper pack them up, he took Mu Baobao out of the cake shop.

"Baby, do you want to go somewhere else to play?"

Mu Baobao shook his head, indicating that he had no place he wanted to go. "Master, shall we go back to the village?"

If I go back too late, grandma will be worried.

Doctor Deng thought about it and took her to the pharmacy.

After buying some commonly used medicinal herbs and other things, the master and apprentice returned to Xingzi Village.

As soon as he returned to Xingzi Village, Mu Baobao found the village in a mess, which was very strange.

"What happened?"

Doctor Deng wasn't sure either. "Let's go back to your house first. Maybe we can figure out what's going on."

He took Mu Baobao back to Mu Laosan's house.

As soon as they reached the door, the master and disciple saw Zhu walking out in a hurry.

"Grandma, we're back!" Baby Mu waved with a bright smile.

When Zhu saw her granddaughter, she immediately smiled and said, "Baby is back?"

"Having fun in town?"

Mu Baobao nodded and said, "I'm very happy. Master also bought several kinds of cakes. They are delicious."

When Zhu heard this, she said repeatedly, "Doctor Deng, how can I let you spend money?"

Pastries in the town are very expensive, so she only buys some during festivals and holidays for the children to taste.

Doctor Deng waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. "I bought it for my apprentice. It didn't cost much."

"By the way, did something happen in the village? I came back and saw that the village was in a mess."

Upon hearing this, Zhu slapped her thigh and shouted angrily, "Those bastards from Straw Village came to our village to steal food and were caught."

Doctor Deng didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

Even for the rich and powerful, food is a very important thing.

"How much food was stolen from Straw Village?"

Zhu said, "The amount stolen from our village was not much, only about 30 to 40 kilograms."

“We don’t know how much has been stolen from other villages yet.”

"The village chief reported it to the authorities. The county magistrate has sent several detectives to handle the matter."

Doctor Deng decided to go over and take a look at the situation. If this matter was not handled properly, the consequences would be huge.

For the time being, he had a good impression of the county magistrate and didn't want anything to happen to him.

So, Doctor Deng and Mu Baobao followed Zhu to the center of the village.

There was a large group of villagers in the middle of the village, as well as seven or eight constables, who were dealing with the grain theft in Straw Village.

It's been so long, and this matter has not been properly handled.

The main thing is that there are quite a few villages that have been robbed, so we have to notify these villages one by one, and then after these villages have counted the items, they will come to Xingzi Village and explain the situation to the constable.

Only after the police have investigated the matter thoroughly can each village take back its own food.

Under the protection of Doctor Deng and Mrs. Zhu, Mu Baobao squeezed in.

She saw a middle-aged woman covered in wounds kneeling there, with three young men guarding her.

There were many strangers around.

These strangers were talking in a flurry.

"If Xingzi Village hadn't discovered it in time, we wouldn't know how much loss we would have suffered."

"You son of a bitch, Straw Village! The harvest in your own village has failed, but instead of spending money to buy food, you're actually thinking of stealing it."

"I heard that Straw Village is trying to buy grain from other villages at a low price, and is even asking the women who married out to other villages to find ways to take grain and food back home."

"How dare the Straw Village? This is new rice, it can be sold for a lot of money in town, and the Straw Village actually wants to buy it at a low price."

"We're still relatively lucky. I heard that a married woman from Straw Village stole all the food and valuable land from her husband's family and ran back to her parents' home."

After hearing this, Mu Baobao couldn't understand why Straw Village did this.

If you are short of food, just buy it. It’s not good to do these things.

Doctor Deng frowned, this straw village seemed to be a disaster.

He turned around and asked Zhu: "Can I ask what the situation is in this Straw Village?"

Zhu said, "Daicao Village used to have a good grain production, so we didn't look down on people from other villages."

"Well, the villages don't bother each other, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"It's just that the harvest in Straw Village was poor this time, so they set their sights on other villages."

"Well, that's what everyone is talking about."

Doctor Deng heard a lot from this. The people in Straw Village were usually very bad, and this time they went even worse and did these illegal things.

"Latest news!" At this time, a villager ran over and shouted, "The people in Straw Village have heard the news. They say they are mobilizing the entire village to get food."

"If any village dares not give them food, their entire village will live in that village and eat up all the food in that village."

These words caused an uproar.

"The Straw Village is so despicable. They're not so poor that they can't even afford to eat, yet they dare to come up with such an idea."

"If Straw Village dares to come to our village, we will definitely not let them off easily."

This was the first time Dr. Deng encountered such a village. Such a village was no different from a bully.

He walked up to the constables and said, "I am Doctor Deng."

"I would like to ask your county magistrate to deal with the matter of Straw Village."

Several constables knew Doctor Deng and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Doctor Deng, please rest assured that the county magistrate will definitely handle this matter properly."

Doctor Deng hummed, "It's harvest time now. If Straw Village really does this, how will the people in other villages survive?"

"Also, those daughters of Straw Village who married out and committed illegal acts should be dealt with accordingly."

The constable said, "Don't worry, Doctor Deng. We will send someone back to report to the county magistrate right away."

When Doctor Deng was about to say something else, he heard a villager shouting.

"A married woman from Straw Village has come to our village and is forcing us to buy food at a low price."
