Unearthing New Potential

After the figure in the dark left the other behind to keep watch, he led the rest to sneak into the fields and began to rummage through the potato seeds that had just been planted that day.

They had just turned over about 400 square yards of land when they were discovered by Cheng Ming, who was on patrol.

"Who is it? What are you doing here so late at night?"

"Someone's here. Quick, run! Run!" Those few people turned around and ran away with the seeds they had dug out.

Cheng Ming and a few others ran after them with torches in their hands, but because they were not familiar with the terrain and it was dark, they soon lost them.

"Let's split up and search. We must find them."

The few of them split up to search the surroundings, but after searching for a while, no one found any sign of the thieves.

Cheng Ming had no choice but to return to the fields to check on the damage.
