The little boy blinked his bright, dark eyes innocently twice, then looked at the three uncles who had suddenly turned fierce. He shrank back timidly, his soft, sweet voice saying, "I...I've never seen them before..."
"Then what you just did..." Tong Youlin looked at the little boy's watery eyes, which were glistening with fear, and glared at Wang Sheng and Huang Qiang, who were getting anxious.
He softened his expression and tone, gently patted the little boy's head, and patiently explained, "Don't be afraid, Niannian. Those people are here to arrest us uncles. We uncles are afraid of them, so we got a little anxious when we heard about them."
The little baby looked at the uncle who was no longer fierce, and then pouted and whimpered to express his dissatisfaction that "this baby was scared by the fierce uncle".
Tong Youlin watched as the little girl's tense body slowly relaxed, and smiled helplessly. This delicate little girl is really different from the rough boy at home.
He coaxed the baby gently, asking, "Niannian, you can describe what they look like, so you must have seen them before. Niannian, tell Uncle where you've seen them, okay?"
The little dumpling stretched out his chubby little hand and pointed outside, saying in his childish voice, "Niannian hasn't seen them, Niannian only heard them, they're over there."
Did you hear that?!
Tong Youlin was taken aback. He followed the little boy's finger and his pupils suddenly contracted.
There's a forest in that direction! If those bastards take another path to the top of the mountain first, then climb down and sneak into that forest, they could really sneak over here without anyone noticing!
"You heard that? Little darling, don't try to fool your uncles. You can even describe the soldiers' black boots and swords, how could you not have seen them before?" Huang Qiang laughed and skeptically flicked the little boy's nose.
Tong Youlin, who had just looked away, suddenly stood up. His still-stunned gaze fell on the chubby little baby in his arms, and a look of realization flashed across his astonished face.
"Big brother?"
Wang Sheng and Huang Qiang were startled by Tong Youlin's sudden action. When they looked up and saw his expression, their smiles immediately vanished.
Tong Youlin was jolted back to reality by Huang Qiang's shout. The look of surprise on his face immediately turned serious, and he strode outside, yelling, "Brothers! Grab your weapons! Quick! Those damned government officials are here!"
He walked into the courtyard and shouted, and in an instant, everyone in the village sprang into action.
Tiger's mother, who was heating up her food, heard the noise and rushed out to see what was happening. Tong Youlin immediately shoved a little baby into her arms, saying, "Honey, you must hold this little darling well and treat him with the utmost care! I'll be right back!"
Tong Youlin formally handed a soft, chubby little baby to Hu Zi's mother, giving her several urgent yet earnest instructions before turning and leaving.
He picked up the broadsword that was placed behind the door. As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, the strongmen of the village had already gathered outside, each holding a broadsword and axe, their faces fierce.
Tong Youlin walked to the door, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the woods that the little boy had just pointed to. "Brothers! Those bastards must be coming from that direction! Let's ambush them right now! Shengzi and Qiangzi, you two take ten brothers and go around to that side and stab them in the back!"
Wang Sheng and Huang Qiang followed behind Tong Youlin. When they saw the direction he was pointing, they were both very surprised and whispered, "Brother! What do you mean? Do you really believe what Xiao Niannian said? She's just a little baby, maybe she's just talking nonsense."
