The old lady said anxiously, "Go and see, quick! I heard someone say something's wrong at Lin Lan's house?"
"You stay here and watch Dandan." Yang Dingbang rushed out, opened the back door, and said to Zhang Rongqing, who was standing outside, "Brother Zhang, let's go." With that, he took off like a shot.
"Lin Lan came out through the back door!" Zhang Rongqing yelled after him, seeing how fast he was running.
Yang Dingbang ran to the bamboo grove and saw that the wicker gate and the back gate were both open. He went straight into Lin Lan's house, and the moment Little Douzi saw him, he burst into a wail.
"Uncle, there was a bad guy!"
Yang Dingbang ruffled his fluffy hair. "Big boys don't cry!" he said, then walked over to Lin Lan. "Sister-in-law, where's the thief?"
Lin Lan pointed at the hand pinned to the kitchen door. "The bastard is still outside."
