The big iron gate outside the yard was banging on the ground. Even in such heavy rain, Qin Suyun could hear it clearly. She lowered her head and looked down from the second floor.
Several dark shadows were swaying in front of the courtyard gate. These people were holding umbrellas and flashlights. Qin Suyun could only see the patterns of the umbrellas in these people's hands while standing on the road, but had no way of seeing who was knocking on the door.
Qin Suyun narrowed her eyes, quickly put on her clothes, and went downstairs in slippers.
…
Outside the courtyard.
Zhao Xingguo, Zhao Zhengde, Meng Changlong and He Zhennan, a group of eight, all stood outside Qin Suyun's courtyard gate.
"Why hasn't anyone come to open the door? I clearly saw a light in the house. Could it be that Sister Qin was at home and didn't hear us knocking? How about I knock again?" Zhao Xingguo knocked on the door for a while, and seeing that there was no other movement in the house, nor did he hear anyone coming to open the door, he subconsciously frowned, a little confused, and reached out to knock on the door again.
Wanxi Village has good public security conditions. Although their village is poor, there is not a single thief in their village on weekdays. Many families do not even lock their doors at night, and they are too lazy to even close the main door, but just leave it ajar.
It's very convenient whenever you want to visit.
But since the series of natural disasters, everyone has kept the gates of their courtyards closed all the time, for fear that something unexpected would happen, especially those homes where there are only the elderly, children, women and children.
"No, let's wait a moment. Miss Qin should be out soon."
He Zhennan shook his head to signal the village chief not to knock on the door again. The other party had cats and dogs at home with very good hearing. Even if Qin Suyun did not hear them knocking on the door, Dahei Heidou would definitely remind the other party that someone was coming.
After living in Qin Suyun's house for a while, He Zhennan knew the behavioral habits of these cats and dogs almost perfectly.
"Okay, let's wait."
Zhao Xingguo was a little conflicted about knocking on a little girl's door so late at night. But the other people's houses were simply too full to accommodate them. After much thought, he realized that Qin Suyun's house was the only one in the village that had space for these outsiders. Most importantly, He Zhennan was also there.
This person had lived in the Qin family for a period of time before and was quite familiar with Qin's eldest sister. I believe that the other party would not refuse.
The rain poured down from the sky. Qiu Jiayue frowned, tugged at her sleeves, and looked a little ugly. Her clothes had been soaked by the rain a long time ago. Even though she was holding an umbrella, the wet clothes still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. A gust of cold wind blew, and Qiu Jiayue instantly got goose bumps all over her body.
She looked at the village chief and He Zhennan, who were not going to knock on the door anymore, then looked at the tightly closed iron door, and subconsciously pursed her lips into a straight line.
"Jiayue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale, are you cold?" Cui Wen was standing next to his girlfriend. When he saw that Qiu Jiayue looked unhappy, he immediately planned to take off his long coat and put it on his girlfriend.
Qiu Jiayue's frown relaxed slightly. She smiled and pushed Cui Wen's coat away. "I'm not feeling unwell anywhere, but I'm damp all over. The wind makes me feel a bit cold... And your clothes are wet too. What's the point of putting them on me? They won't keep me warm. You should wear them yourself. I'll take a hot shower once we get inside."
"Hehe." Seeing his girlfriend smiling at him, Cui Wen also smiled. He smiled and hugged his girlfriend, saying manly: "You think my clothes are wet and not warm enough, then I will use myself to keep you warm!"
Qiu Jiayue's originally pale and ugly face suddenly turned red when her boyfriend's body temperature covered her head and face. Even the unhappiness in her heart was thrown behind her.
"What are you doing? Everyone is still here, let me go..."
Qiu Jiayue pushed her boyfriend. There were so many people standing there, even her parents were here. How could this guy have the nerve to touch her?
"We are boyfriend and girlfriend, what are you afraid of? It's not like everyone hasn't seen us together." Cui Wen said with a smile, nonchalantly, but refused to let go.
"Hey, you two are still so sticky in the middle of the night, forcing dog food into my mouth. Haven't you ever considered the feelings of a single dog like me?" Dongzi accused Cui Wen and Qiu Jiayue of being dishonest, but he had a smile on his face and looked in a good mood.
He Zhennan watched Dongzi and the others playing and fighting, with a slight smile on his face, and stood by without saying a word.
After being interrupted like this, Zhao Xingguo and others also smiled kindly.
"Sizzle!"
The heavy iron door was opened from the inside.
Qin Suyun stood at the gate holding an umbrella, looking at the eleven people standing there in surprise. "Village head, why are you here? And the secretary and Chief Meng, why are you here too? ... Hmm? Mr. He, Mr. Pang, it's you."
He Zhennan and the others were wearing camouflage uniforms, and they looked much thinner than the last time they met, especially Pang Xiong...
When they met at the hospital entrance last year, the other person was obviously a size bigger than he is now.
With just one glance, Qin Suyun could immediately notice that the other person had lost at least 20 or 30 pounds compared to when they first met.
"Huh? Sister Qin, you knew them before?" Zhao Xingguo said with a smile, "No wonder you were willing to let Mr. He stay at your house last time. Why didn't you tell us Mr. He's identity earlier? We all thought he was a bad guy before."
"Village Chief, you're flattering me. I don't know much... I just ran into Mr. He and his friend once in front of the hospital in the middle of last year. As for the rest, I'm not too sure..."
Qin Suyun smiled and welcomed them into the house. As they walked in, she changed the subject and said, "Village Chief, is there anything you want to talk to me about when you come to my house this time? If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I will do my best to help you."
The main reason she hadn't told the villagers about He Zhennan's identity was because she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for the village. Secondly, she felt it was completely unnecessary. She thought that as long as He Zhennan woke up, he would definitely tell the village chief about this matter himself...
But she never expected that after the other party woke up, not only did he never intend to tell the village chief about what happened, he even pretended to have amnesia in order to hide everything.
Qin Suyun glanced at He Zhennan several times as they walked. She never expected that this man would come to Wanxi Village again after returning...
But it's normal to think about it. What he encountered in his dream was the scene where He Zhennan took other villagers to Yunhai City to exchange supplies.
If the other person never plans to come back after leaving, it is impossible for me to dream of He Zhennan.
"We came here this time because we really need your help..."
Zhao Xingguo didn't hesitate to explain his purpose with a smile, "Mr. He and his friends came to Wanxi Village this time because they wanted to join our village, but the tents in the village have been distributed long ago, and there was a disaster during the day, and many houses collapsed. The few houses in the village that can still be lived in are already full of villagers... I've thought about it and I can only trouble you, Sister Qin, to do this for the past few days... It's a good thing that you know each other, so it should be easier for you to get along these days. Moreover, Mr. He and his friends are willing to rent a room for a month and give 20 kilograms of food every month as accommodation fee... Sister Qin, what do you think?"
Food is expensive these days, and 20 kilograms of food can fully meet the consumption of an adult woman for a month!
"There are so many people...how many rooms do you want?"
After hearing this, Qin Suyun didn't agree directly. Instead, she frowned and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that my house is so big and I live alone. But as you all know, Village Chief, I usually live with Dahei and the others. Now that Dahei and the others have evolved and grown in size... In the past, a group of dogs could just stay in one room, but now a room can only accommodate two dogs at most. I can't let people sleep with the dogs, right? I still have to prepare their own rooms..."
Qin Suyun's words were well-reasoned, and Zhao Xingguo and Zhao Zhengde immediately nodded in understanding.
Everyone in the village knew that the dogs and cats raised by the Qin family had evolved, mutated, and grown in size. Almost everyone had seen the tall and straight figure of Big Black Bean, a big dog that was over one meter tall and almost two meters tall, crawling on all fours. Even if they wanted to pretend they hadn't seen it, they couldn't.
This strong visual impact is really too great.
After almost a year, almost no one in the village didn't know about the dogs and cats in Qin Suyun's family. They all knew that they were her treasures and wanted Qin to give up the dogs she had raised since they were little, just to make room for a few strangers.
Isn't this nonsense?
"I remember you had two empty rooms on the second floor. We can use these two rooms." Facing Qin Suyun's gaze, He Zhennan changed the four bedrooms he originally wanted to mention into two empty rooms.
He raised his brows slightly, his instinct telling him that if he dared to ask for four rooms this time, the other party would probably refuse them entry directly.
In fact, Qin Suyun did plan so.
There are several rooms in her house, but many of them are filled with things, such as the indoor fish pond on the first floor, the storage room full of items, the mushroom house on the second floor, etc., which are impossible to give to He Zhennan and others.
Therefore, the two rooms were her final conclusion after careful consideration and after squeezing Xiao Qi and the others into living quarters. This was also done for the sake of Pang Xiong and He Zhennan. She had already repaid He Zhennan's favor last time. Now, the only thing left was Pang Xiong's face and the favor of the wooden cannon he left behind before leaving... Qin Suyun couldn't help but soften her heart when she thought of the gun he left behind before leaving.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Suyun finally nodded and said, "In that case, I'll make two rooms for you..."
"Wait! Aren't two rooms a little too few? There are eight of us here!"
