Si Qingli was different from other children from a young age. She loved reading from childhood, and her parents had a large collection of books.
Due to health reasons, he rarely went out after that, and most people around him were unaware of his existence.
I often help my mother with her work in the greenhouse at home; my mother spends all her time there every day.
He may have been infected, as he rarely plays with other children.
They were considered outcasts by adults, and with the war raging in the capital, everything was in chaos.
He rarely goes out on his own, occasionally visiting his cousin's house.
When he was three years old, he gradually learned to read and began learning to read at home with his father.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and even the little child picked up a calligraphy brush and practiced it meticulously.
His family indulges him; he's very mature for his age, not like a child at all.
When I was five years old, I spent most of my time in the study, basically living in the flower room and the study.
Seeing her son staying at home every day, Si's mother still tried to find ways to take him out.
But their son just didn't want to go out, and after a while, they got used to it.
The fact that their children are obedient makes them anxious, so they can only find some more profound books for them.
This will discourage him from reading and make him come out and get some fresh air.
There was no way to go against the grain; the child watched with great interest and even offered his own opinions.
The whole family was won over by him and resigned themselves to finding books that their child liked.
As time went on, Si's mother could only keep her son company in the study.
She was carrying her favorite flower arrangement books, novels, and translated foreign books.
He'd go and see anything he recognized; he wasn't picky. He'd pick up anything he could see and take a look.
He was bored when he was eight years old and didn't go to school like other children his age.
In order to avoid studying, Si Qingli gradually stepped out of the world of books and went to her uncle's house to play.
Only then could his mother feel more at ease, so she stopped disciplining him, and Si Qingli went out to play by himself.
His personal savings were also growing rapidly, and at that time he was trying to find ways to make money on his own.
He repaired appliances for others, and his uncle helped him get jobs; they split the profits 50/50.
With his family feeding him regularly, his little savings were growing every day.
When I was nine years old, things were getting tense outside, so my family had already made preparations in advance.
They felt much more at ease after everything was arranged properly.
As for the valuables in the house, they have all been taken care of.
Si Qingli was quick-witted and had already set up many traps in his secret room.
When Si Qingli was 10 years old, she went to her cousin's house to play as usual.
When I returned, I found that my house had been completely ransacked.
His family definitely didn't want him to go to the countryside with them.
Because they couldn't find him, they were fooled by Grandpa Si.
During this time, they did not agree to let the child suffer with them.
Grandpa Xie knew his grandson was cunning, so he let him do whatever he wanted.
They have complete peace of mind with their grandson because he is the only independent child they have ever raised.
Sometimes, when the Si family members sit down in the past, they realize whether what they did was right or wrong.
But there's no turning back once the arrow is released; we must persevere so that Si Qingli can focus on his work.
Knowing that he was at his uncle's house actually put me at ease.
So he didn't stay at his uncle's house, since it wasn't a big place and his whole family lived there.
His uncle could only tell him to go back to their home, and Si Qingli was happy to be free. So he returned to his own home.
He would sneak home at night, knowing every corner of his house intimately.
Back in his yard, he picked up the device he had already prepared and installed it in his home.
This was still his failed attempt, and he had forgotten to study it.
When I got back, I saw someone sneaking around the house looking for something.
In order to deter these people from coming to their house, Si Qingli remembered the failed attempts she had made before.
He had already installed those devices without their knowledge.
The sounds emanating from inside were terrifying to anyone who came looking for something at night.
As the sound grew louder, those who already had something to hide were terrified.
They fled in all directions, not wanting to look for anything.
The first day scared away one group of people, but then another group was waiting.
And so, different sounds appeared every night, and each time they were different.
The sound and the trap personally set by Si Qingli will scare you into coming in.
Therefore, it can also harm oneself, and getting injured is definitely the least of one's worries.
No one who enters ever leaves unscathed; all are injured to varying degrees.
The bold ones, defying all superstition, still dared to come in, while the timid ones backed down.
Every time, he was bruised and swollen, which was quite a shocking sight.
However, because of this, people became afraid of the Si family, and gradually, no one was looking for the items anymore.
And so everyone started spreading the rumor that there was a ghost in the Si family's courtyard, and that the sound could be heard both day and night.
In this way, Si Qingli managed to save her family's courtyard without much damage.
Si Qingli thus strengthened the security measures at home, but she was also afraid that he might fall asleep.
The child who was caught and taken away was only ten years old and didn't understand much.
For safety reasons, he decided to target the neighbor's yard.
Let's see if we can secretly stay there first; that way it'll be safer.
Because the neighboring yard has been uninhabited for a long time and has remained vacant without an owner.
With this plan in mind, the little boy had already begun to make arrangements.
He is a child who dares to challenge himself and is not afraid to back down.
They dug a little bit every day, and in just a few days, they had almost finished.
Cooking is too conspicuous, so I can only prepare it at night and secretly reheat it during the day.
This way, I won't attract attention and can stay here long-term.
Since grain has been rationed, Si Qingli is now an unregistered resident and has no way to get the rationed food.
With food supplies dwindling, we need to find a solution.
Looking at the former bamboo forest, I wonder if there will be any firewood in winter.
He started to plan ahead: cutting down trees would provide firewood for the winter.
This freed up land so he could grow what he needed, and he even secretly went to the village to learn how others farmed and grew vegetables.
My cousin also asked friends for help getting vegetable and grain seeds.
He would try anything edible, and his uncle would check on him and give him guidance from time to time.
Although things didn't go very well at first, Si Qingli figured it out.
Gradually, with experience, they became more and more skilled.
Without land, he figured out a way; the green plants he had planted before had already been disposed of.
They planted vegetables, grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and secretly raised a flock of chickens.
They were all in the yard, but they specifically chose a sunny room for me.
They've created their own residential area for poultry, and no one else can know about it.
