The child ran quickly toward the outhouse, and as he came out, large raindrops began to fall, coming down with great force.
Perhaps because the sons always had "stomach aches," the outhouse was located closer to the side room.
Juanjuan glanced at them and immediately chose to go to her brothers' place to take shelter from the rain and calm her nerves.
After knocking twice, Juanjuan pushed the door open and went inside.
Then she saw...
An empty house?
At that instant, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.
Juanjuan felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively raised her hand to cover her ears, but even so, she could still hear the booming thunder.
Brothers...
Some terrifying thoughts surfaced in the child's little mind, but soon, the child's rationality returned, and he slapped away those chaotic thoughts.
The brothers must have gone outside together!
After all, they often did this back in Niantao Village, before they even knew each other's identities.
Thinking of this, Juanjuan immediately stepped back and closed the door again.
She should hurry back and pretend she doesn't know anything.
This time, none of her three older brothers were around. If she happened to be there and had just come out of the outhouse, then the stomachache excuse wouldn't work.
As Juanjuan braved the rain and ran back to the main house, she carefully pushed open the door and saw a dark figure standing in front of her.
At that moment, Juanjuan's body visibly trembled with fright.
Hearing thunder and realizing his little girl was missing, Bai Tian, who was about to push open the door to check on her, was puzzled: ?
Holy crap! I was terrified! How did I end up right outside the door?!
Juanjuan: ...
So, shouldn't she comfort her father at this time?
Just as Jiang Dai turned around while closing the window, she saw the father and daughter standing at the door.
Jiang Dai walked over quickly and realized that the child's hair was all wet.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly! Why is your hair still wet?"
She quickly picked up a cloth to dry the child's slightly damp hair, so he wouldn't catch a cold from the rain.
"I went to the outhouse, but it started raining when I came back."
Juanjuan told half the truth, without mentioning that she had gone to her brothers' place.
Bai Tian: "We could go hide with my brothers! They're closer, so every little bit of walking is better!"
Juanjuan, who thought the same thing and did it this way: ...
As Bai Tian was talking about his sons, he glanced over and noticed that the window seemed to be open.
If you leave the window open, a lot of rain will blow into the house!
"Why haven't they closed the windows? I'll go take a look over there."
Juanjuan: ...
Well, what can she say?
Bai Tian returned quickly, and before he even entered the house, Juanjuan could faintly hear her father complaining.
[Damn! Those three bastards aren't here. Where did they go in the middle of the night, in this pouring rain?!]
[Thank goodness Juanjuan didn't go. I was even suggesting she hide there for a bit, but hide my ass!]
Juanjuan: ...
Thankfully, she ran fast.
Otherwise, her father would be able to see her coming out of her brothers' house as soon as he opened the door.
At that moment, the father and daughter both thought of the same thing.
That was close!
However, for the Kang family, tonight was truly a close call!
That was close!
I almost died!
Bai Yunqi stared at the lightning bolt that struck the main room of the Kang family next to him, lost in thought, and turned to ask his two younger brothers.
"This must be the one that split the Kang family head, right?"
"It can't be that they come to chop me up, and then get chopped into the splits because they missed!"
