Qingtian fell asleep quickly under the gentle patting of Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye never had to worry about her sleep. Not only did she sleep soundly without tossing and turning, but she also never wet the bed.

As long as you don't give her too much water after dinner, she won't even get up at night and can sleep until dawn.

So Mrs. Ye patted Qingtian a few times, and seeing that she was asleep, she wrapped her in her scarf to block the wind, and then she ignored her and let her sleep by herself.

But for some reason today, Qingtian seemed to be sleeping uneasy. His hands and feet were shaking from time to time, and he was always humming softly.

Mrs. Ye lifted up her scarf and saw that although she was still asleep, her little face was wrinkled.

"What did you dream about?" It was the first time that Mrs. Ye saw Qingtian like this, and she found it a little funny.

But soon after she put the scarf back on, Qingtian suddenly burst into tears.

Qingtian woke up soon after, shouting, "Dad, Dad, don't die, Mom—Mom—"

"What's going on?"

Qingtian's screams were so shrill that Boss Ye was so scared that he suddenly stopped and turned around to see what happened to her.

Ye Laosi, who was in front, heard the noise, looked back and stopped as well.

"Brother, what happened?

"It seems like Qingtian had a nightmare." Boss Ye didn't take it too seriously. He went over and was about to comfort his daughter when Qingtian hugged him.

Qingtian wrapped her thin little arms around his neck tightly, and her warm tears kept pouring into his collar, soon soaking a large area of it, which felt cold and wet when the wind blew.

"What did you dream about? How could you scare the child like this?" Boss Ye held Qingtian's little body in his arms, stroking her hair and saying, "It's okay to rub her hair, it won't scare her!"

Old Mrs. Ye looked around and said worriedly, "Could there be something unclean on the road? They say children are the most sensitive to such things."

Ye Lao Si looked at the big sun above his head speechlessly and said, "Mom, it's broad daylight. If there really is some unclean thing with such great power that is not even afraid of the sun,

"There's no need for children. We can all feel it."

Mrs. Ye also said, "This child probably didn't sleep well last night, so he had a nightmare and was startled."

When they mentioned that they didn't sleep well last night, both Old Mrs. Ye and Old Fourth Ye fell silent.

Everyone knows why we didn’t sleep well last night.

Mrs. Ye then realized that she had said the wrong thing. She wanted to explain, but the more she explained, the more confused she became. She had no choice but to go over and comfort Qingtian who was crying.

I thought the child was just scared by a nightmare and would be fine after crying for a while.

Unexpectedly, Qingtian couldn't stop crying. In the end, she was hiccuping and her little body was twitching and she couldn't stop crying.

She kept saying, "Daddy, don't die, don't die..."

Now, not to mention Old Lady Ye, even Boss Ye felt a little uneasy.

Mrs. Ye had long noticed that Qingtian had some unusual luck, so when she heard her keep saying this, her heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

She took Qingtian off Boss Ye, held her in her arms, and asked softly, "Qingtian, tell me what you dreamed about just now, okay?"

"Burp..." Qingtian burped again before sobbing, "There were bad guys, the bad guys wanted to beat us, Dad, Dad protected us, and then they, several people beat Dad, and then Dad stopped moving...

"Wow—Dad, don't die—"

After being asked this question, the crying that had been gradually getting smaller suddenly became louder again.

After hearing Qingtian's words, Brother Ye and Sister Ye looked at each other.

Somehow, they both remembered the deep ditch that had been dug on the road when they came.

Both of them began to feel panicky.

They have been together for more than ten years. They don't need to talk, just looking at each other's eyes can tell that the other person thinks the same as them.

So Sister Ye asked quietly, "Master, besides the way we came here, is there any other way to go back to the village?"

Boss Ye had gone up the mountain to hunt before and had already figured out the terrain around the village.

He nodded and said, "Yes, there is, but it takes a long way around.

“We have to go all the way around the mountain and then go back to the village along the foot of the mountain.

"Not only is the journey more than twice as long as going directly back, but the road isn't as easy to walk on here either."

But Mrs. Ye said decisively: "As long as we can get through, it's fine. It's okay to take a detour. Safety is the most important thing."

Boss Ye looked at the determination in his wife's eyes, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, I'll go tell Mom."

At this time, Mrs. Ye saw that the two of them were whispering to each other and Qingtian was still crying, so she got out of the car anxiously to check the situation.

"What's wrong with the child? Did he hit his head just now?" Old Mrs. Ye asked with concern. "I've heard before that if a child falls on his head, he will cry uncontrollably."

Mrs. Ye quickly gave Mr. Ye a look, indicating that he should tell Mrs. Ye to take a detour home.

Boss Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, do you still remember the ditch we encountered when we came out this morning?

"I've been thinking about it all the way, and I always feel that the appearance of that ditch is too strange.

"Why don't we go back and take a different route instead of the original one!"

Old Mrs. Ye was confused. Wasn’t he talking about the child? Why was he suddenly talking about which way to go home?

Besides, didn’t Ye Juaner say before that there was only one road leading from Rongxi Village to the city?
