Chapter 42: Close the door and beat the dog!
Yang Lihua was so surprised that she immediately took Zhuzhu into her arms.
Zhuzhu was rolling around happily, but was suddenly strangled by her mother like a fish on the shore, and began to struggle uncomfortably.
"Mother, woo, mother!"
Tai Jizong quickly took his daughter in and coaxed her in a low voice.
"Zhuzhu, don't be afraid, Daddy is here!"
Yang Lihua also regretted it. After checking her daughter to see if she was injured, she quietly asked, "Dad, are you sure?"
Tai Jizu shook his head, a hint of annoyance on his honest face, and replied, "Dad isn't sure either, but we still have to be careful and on guard. If someone does come... we won't suffer a big loss."
"Okay, don't worry, Dad. I'll watch over here." Yang Lihua nodded seriously. Although her lips were still trembling, she straightened her back when she looked at her daughter, like a female leopard whose territory had been invaded.
Liu Dongniang was confused as she listened, but she didn't dare to ask her uncle.
So, as soon as Tai Jizu left, she pulled her sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, did the second brother and the others get into trouble in the city?"
Yang Lihua quickly blew out the oil lamp and whispered to Liu Dongniang about the details...
The night outside the window was growing darker and darker, so dark that even the cold wind became sleepy and stopped playing and wandering.
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang surrounded Zhuzhu and guarded her wholeheartedly, not feeling sleepy at all.
We waited until late at night.
The hour before dawn is when everyone is most tired and when they are most sleepy.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the quiet and deserted street of Taijia Village.
The shadow followed the wall, passing by one house after another, and finally stopped outside the wall of Tai's house.
Even though the world was pitch black, he still carefully hid in a corner, observed for a long time, and then turned around and entered the yard.
The shadow stepped on the soft remaining snow, making a rustling sound under his feet.
But the naughty north wind often blew up snow particles and threw them against the window sills, so the sound was not surprising and would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
But in the east room, the old man sleeping on the kang suddenly pushed Tai Jizu next to him.
Tai Jizu pushed his second son again...
Sure enough, the snow in the dark night reflected on the window, giving it a slight glow.
A figure appeared on one side of the light. The figure raised his hand and pierced the window paper. One of his eyes, cold and vicious, swept across the room, and then he changed to a thick wooden pipe.
A faint smoke came out of the wooden pipe, which took a full cup of tea to be drawn away.
After waiting for a long time, the dark figure finally picked up the wooden latch on the window, opened it wide, and then climbed in.
The cold wind instantly filled the room, taking away the faint smell of smoke.
The black shadow coughed dryly, and none of the three people in the room moved.
The black shadow seemed very satisfied. He walked less cautiously and walked forward to lift the first quilt at the head of the kang.
The accident happened at this moment. The one who greeted the black shadow was not the sleeping old man Tai, but a retired veteran of the Tai family who suddenly chopped with a hatchet in his hand!
The black shadow never thought that it was too late to dodge completely and could only retreat half a step.
The tip of the knife cut through his cotton jacket, then his belly...
"Ouch!" The black shadow screamed in pain, holding his stomach and about to jump out of the window.
But the window was blocked by someone from the outside!
Not only that, the rear window was kicked open and three or four people jumped in all at once!
"Damn it, I'll see where you can run!" Old Man Tai jumped to the ground, and the hatchet in his hand left no room for maneuver, chopping at the black shadow again and again.
The black shadow was not an ordinary person either. He moved very nimbly as he dodged and moved.
The others also waved sticks and wooden clubs in their hands and beat the black shadow to death.
Some people even lit oil lamps to see clearly what the black shadow looked like.
But the black shadow was extremely cautious and actually wore a face mask.
Perhaps the light put too much pressure on the black shadow, and he took a knife in the back and stumbled out of the rear window.
As it turned out, there was an ambush under the rear window, and two wooden sticks were swung at his head.
It hit the shadow on the head, and the pain almost made him fall into the snow.
The desire to survive urged him to rush out desperately.
Everyone wanted to chase him again, but Old Master Tai shouted, "Don't chase a desperate enemy, or you might kill him!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses and lost their previous passion and anger.
At this time, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang came out of the west room holding the sleepy Zhuzhu, and they were also very scared.
"Dad, are you guys okay?" Yang Lihua asked anxiously.
"No, no!" Old Master Tai waved his hands quickly, then called Tai Jizu, "Light the oil lamp in the main room and light the stove. Let's talk there. There's smoke in this room, be careful or you'll feel uncomfortable!"
Everyone immediately helped to open the front and back windows and quickly moved to the main room.
When Yang Lihua looked, she saw that Tai Jizong, Tai Jiye and Tai Yongan had all returned!
The rest of them are good hunters in the village!
Tai Yongan has loved wielding guns and sticks since he was a child. This is his first time in actual combat, and he is extremely excited.
"Grandpa, why didn't you let us chase him just now? This thief is already injured. I'm sure I can catch him!"
The old man glared at his grandson and said without further explanation in front of everyone, "I can't even beat him, and you actually want to chase him. What if the thief has accomplices? You'll be giving them a head!"
Tai Yongan touched his nose, shook his head, and laughed, not daring to show off anymore.
Everyone laughed at him and started chatting.
"Anger is really awesome! I was so scared just now! I had a stick in my hand and didn't know how to hit him!"
"Me too. I knocked a few times randomly and I think I actually hit the thief."
