Xiao Xi, Leng Lie, is that you?
From afar, Guan Yuxi could hear her uncle Leng Qingshu's voice.
The bright torches illuminated the path down the mountain.
Guan Yuxi jumped off Leng Lie's back.
He ran up quickly, "Uncle...wait, what happened?"
Not only his uncle and aunt, but also his five sons, Liguo, Litai, Limin, Li'an and Liren, came along.
Aunt Du patted her chest, pulled Guan Yuxi up and down, and said, "It's good that you're all alright."
Your uncle even said that if you didn't come back soon, he would go up the mountain to look for you.
Guan Yuxi smiled and hugged Aunt Du's arm.
I would like to express my gratitude to the five brothers, Chong Guotai Min'an Ren.
He then handed the basket to Leng Lie, saying, "Have a few drinks with your brothers."
Leng Lie glanced at Guan Yuxi's feet.
Before, you had difficulty walking, but now you can walk like the wind?
Guan Yuxi made a face at him.
He waved again.
The five brothers rushed forward and dragged Leng Lie away.
We entered the main room.
Uncle Leng glanced at the people arriving one after another behind him and made arrangements for the guard duty.
Only then did he take Guan Yuxi home.
"If you hadn't reminded me..."
No one noticed that quite a few people had secretly sneaked into the village.
Judging from their appearance, they're heading up the mountain...
Guan Yuxi nodded.
My uncle, as expected of an intellectual who was once a teacher, is indeed insightful.
"By the way, Uncle, those people have guns!"
Uncle Leng paused for a moment, then chuckled.
He unwrapped the cloth covering his hand, and it turned out to be a gun!
Guan Yuxi was taken aback. "Where did you come from?"
Uncle Leng gently wiped the spotless gun barrel.
A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, "Your great-grandfather asked your grandfather to bring it back."
All the guns in the village have been confiscated; we will increase patrols in the next few days.
Guan Yuxi's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
She misses her grandfather very much!
Aunt Du brought over the fried peanuts. "Xiao Xi, have some peanuts."
"Auntie will get you a cup of hot water."
She glared at her husband.
Uncle Leng quickly changed the subject.
He pointed in the direction of the archaeological team, "Are those people on the mountain ready?"
Guan Yuxi nodded, then shook her head.
"Grandpa Dai said he's ready, but I don't know the specifics."
However, I still have a nagging feeling that this time... it's going to be a disaster!
Uncle Leng paused in his act of lighting a cigarette, and frowned.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat somber.
"Xiaoxi, your auntie made you some honey water, it's sweet, drink more."
Guan Yuxi smiled and thanked her.
Uncle Leng slammed his pipe on the table and yelled, "Damn it!"
I refuse to believe that if we all go together, we can't beat those turtle bastards.
"We'll take down every one of those traitors who comes along. No one will be allowed to take our treasures out of the country!"
"The father of my child..."
Aunt Du was very worried, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
Guan Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "I went to the Armed Forces Department with Leng Lie this morning."
I reckon Grandpa Dai contacted someone from the Armed Forces Department.
Training militiamen with real guns is not a common occurrence!
I wonder if that accidental firing this morning alerted the enemy?
However, there's no use thinking about it now.
Guan Yuxi quickly regained her composure.
"Uncle, Grandpa Dai values those things more than his own life."
He must have already come up with a foolproof plan.
Let's just focus on protecting the village; otherwise, we might make things worse.
Aunt Du gave her a grateful look.
Guan Yuxi returned her a smile.
Uncle Leng packed the tobacco and started puffing away.
He glanced at his wife and mumbled, "We'll see when the time comes."
Who knows what the situation will be like? Maybe we're just worrying for nothing.
In the side room.
The sounds of drinking and playing drinking games were deafening.
Guan Yuxi stood up and said, "I'll go check on them."
Aunt Du brought over some roasted peanuts. "I'll go with you."
Uncle Leng stopped her, "Leave the peanuts for me, I'll have a couple of drinks too."
Aunt Du rolled her eyes at him.
He pulled Guan Yuxi out of the main entrance.
"Xiaoxi, do you think those people would really dare to rob us openly?"
Aunt Du leaned close to Guan Yuxi's ear and whispered.
Guan Yuxi knew she was worried.
But he couldn't very well try to coax her with words, "You really dare to do that."
However, Grandpa Dai and his group weren't pushovers either.
No matter how tough a mouse is, a cat has a way to deal with it.
Moreover, the power behind Old Master Dai and his group should not be underestimated!
"That's good! I was just worried your uncle would act impulsively and rush in without thinking..."
Aunt Du sighed.
She knew her husband's character better than anyone.
When he's really caught up in something exciting, not even ten oxen could stop him!
Leng Lie pushed open the door and went out.
He handed the two pieces of meat to Aunt Du.
Aunt Du quickly refused, "No, no, you can take them home and eat them yourselves!"
Guan Yuxi forced it on her, then grabbed Leng Lie and ran.
Let's play a little longer!
The two had already run out of the yard, waving to Aunt Du and saying, "It's too late, let's do it another day!"
Once outside, Leng Lie picked Guan Yuxi up in his arms.
"I can walk by myself!"
Guan Yuxi knew she wasn't as strong as him, so she struggled a couple of times symbolically before giving up.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, drifting off to sleep.
She was exhausted after acting in that play.
If she hadn't just drunk a cup of honey water, her throat would have been burning.
