Chapter 157 The Treacherous Nature of Human Hearts
Gu Yanxu and Lin Feng carefully worked together to open the animal traps that had been holding the cow bones.
Then, the remaining nine animal traps were opened one by one and placed in the open space next to them.
Bai Tang stored the Animal traps they had opened in the space intact.
We'll put it in their field tomorrow and wait for them to come to us.
After completing these preparations, it was already dinnertime.
Bai Tang simply took the ready-made food from the space; it was just sitting there anyway.
They might as well enjoy it; then they won't waste food.
Most of the time, they take only what they can eat; if they take too much, they'll save it for the next meal.
They weren't pretentious people; they all knew that having food was already a blessing.
No one is picky; almost everyone finishes their food.
Bai Tang would reward them with fruit if they ate well.
So Grandpa Gu and Lin Fan waited for their fruit rewards just like the kids.
After dinner, everyone finished their meals, andBai Tang took out a bowl of fruit from his spatial storage and placed it on the table.
Influenced by Bai Tang's love of fruit, my family members have also developed a love for eating fruit to some extent.
Fortunately, Bai Tang has quite a few plants in the space; it's true that it's easy to go from frugality to luxury.
Gu Yanxu said while eating the strawberry in his hand, "Let's go to the field together tomorrow."
Bai Tang said, "It's precisely because everyone goes together that I can easily set up animal traps and alarms discreetly."
" But you two can stay at the edge of the field;Xiao Yang and I will go inside."
Gu Yanxu said, "Okay, be careful then."
Then after they finished dinner, they lowered the curtains inside the house.
Create a nighttime atmosphere to make your body feel sleepy.
This way they can rest better and fall asleep more quickly.
Bai Tang went back to his bedroom to wash up first, and the others stayed in the living room for a while before going back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
Mu Mu took the Canned Food directly into the space to rest.
Everyone quickly fell asleep in a corner of the base's courtyard.
Several men were plotting something with menacing expressions.
However, Bai Tang and the others were unaware of these things and did not care.
...
The next morning, Bai Tang was woken up by the time announcement over the base's loudspeaker.
I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the alarm clock on the wall; it was exactly six o'clock.
The base's schedule is really punctual, broadcasting precisely at 6:00 AM.
The people at the base were initially quite unaccustomed to this broadcast time.
But they gradually discovered this benefit: it made it easier to remind them of the time.
This will prevent them from getting their schedules mixed up, which could lead to various health problems.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu got up and came to the living room, and Mu Mu also came out of the space.
Mu Mu will never be absent from mealtimes.
Bai Tang took out a lot of breakfast from his space, and Lin Fan and the others, as well asGrandpa Gu, also got up to eat breakfast.
Because the base's time is broadcast once an hour, they can't sleep in.
However, Bai Tang had prepared earplugs for each of them.
Unless there are special circumstances, they will wear earplugs to sleep the night before.
That way, they won't be affected if they want to sleep in.
While having breakfast, Bai Jiyang said, "I can't wait to see what those people will look like when they get caught."
Bai Tang said, "Don't worry, they definitely can't escape."
Moreover, the insults Lin Fan gave them yesterday were a significant humiliation.
If there's anyone petty or narrow-minded in their group, they'll definitely instigate others to harm our crops again.
So after we finished eating, we went to the field to put our things away and then waited for good news.
Lin Fan scratched his head and said, "I only used one percent of my cursing skills."
Lin Feng joked, "You should scold them a few more times; maybe they'll be even more impatient then."
The family quickly finished breakfast, then took some tools, locked the door, and went to the fields behind the mountain.
When they arrived, they saw that several families next door were already in the fields early in the morning.
They all wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but if they stayed here, the murderer would definitely not dare to come back.
However, Bai Tang and his family did not meddle in other people's business, but instead went to their own land.
Bai Tang and Bai Jiyang walked inside, each carrying their tools.
From tail to head, Bai Tang carefully placed the pre-prepared animal traps into the ground as he crouched down.
Then they covered it slightly with sweet potatoleaves. They tested it with fallen leaves or very light objects and it didn't trigger animal traps.
Bai Tang quickly placed ten animal trapsrandomly in the field.
During this time, she also took the opportunity toplace the alarm next to the wire fence.
No one noticed her actions after she finished doing them.
Then she and Bai Jiyang slowly made their way back to the ground.
Gu Yanxu and his group had been busy working near the field.
Bai Tang did not plan to place animal traps at the edge of the field; most of them were placed in the middle and later sections.
This way, when those people get deep into the middle and later sections, it will take them some time to escape once they are trapped by the animal traps.
At this time, Bai Tang's alarm will sound, and the Patrol Team will be able to rush over in time upon hearing the sound.
After Bai Tang and the others finished doing this, they closed the wire fence again, and then Gu Yanxu and the others took a break.
Lin Fan and Bai Jiyang went over to talk to a few houses nearby.
The two of them went to scout out the situation, and they returned quickly.
Gu Yanxu gestured for them to go home and talk about it later, and then his family pretended to stay in the field for a while.
When it was lunchtime, the neighboring families started to go home.
Bai Tang and the others followed, preparing to go home for lunch.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain,Bai Tang suddenly felt as if a gaze was watching them.
Then she quickly said in her mind to Mu Mu next to her:
" Mu Mu, quickly sense if someone is spying on us?"
Mu Mu quickly came up with the answer in her mind:
"There are two people behind the tree to our left and behind us."
Should we go and arrest them?
Bai Tang said, "No, we shouldn't alert them. Let them go."
When I was setting up animal traps in the field, no one was watching, right?
Mu Mu said definitively, "I was watching carefully just now, absolutely no one saw anything."
Those two people came over later, when we were leaving.
Bai Tang then said with relief, "That's good. We must be wary of the treacherous nature of people."
They walked back home, put down their tools, and went to wash their hands to prepare for dinner.
During the meal, Bai Tang said, "Let's wait for good news these next few days."
Then Lin Fan told them what they had found out:
"Those households said they only take turns standing guard and arresting people during the day."
At night, they all went to rest, leaving the Patrol Team to watch over them.
Bai Tang said, "It's alright, those people will definitely find a chance to retaliate. We just need to wait and see."
