On a summer night, the sky is full of stars.
After the head of the village sent someone to bring hot water, everyone took a quick shower and went to bed.
However, except for Kuai Wei and Meng Yun, all the members of the Shen family suffered from insomnia.
"Ali, what's wrong?"
Shen Fugui carefully looked outside and asked in a low voice after confirming that there was no one.
"Father, I can't see it for now.
But Master Li can't get up yet." Chen Xinli paused, glanced at the sleeping Kuai Wei, and sighed, "I guess his apprentice is not very useful."
Shen Fuyou scratched his head and said:
"Brother, Ali, when we entered the village, I thought I heard someone say 'a few small fish or something'. Could it be that we are the fish they are talking about?"
"Uncle, where's the fish? I want to eat grilled fish."
Shen Jinlin asked with his eyes wide open at an inappropriate time.
"Little guy, go to sleep quickly. You can eat fish when you sleep."
Shen Fuyou smiled.
"There's something strange about this house we live in."
Old man Wu hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
"Grandfather, you can say whatever you want."
Chen Xinli looked at the old man with hope.
Old Man Wu seemed to be greatly encouraged. He looked at everyone staring at him and said nervously:
"According to the village head, this house belongs to his cousin, who went out of town a while ago, but the traces inside the house seem to have been left there recently.
This ground has been dragged frequently, and even with thatch, it is difficult to hide it."
Everyone lifted the thatch on the ground and saw that it was indeed true.
When Old Man Wu saw that everyone had finished looking, he looked around again.
He continued, "All the stuff in this room is gone, and it doesn't look like they disappeared recently. It seems like this is a room used for storing things.
But it was said that the house belonged to his cousin, who had just left a few days ago.
This house has been deserted for at least half a year."
Everyone looked at each other.
Old Lady Wu whispered, "Could it be that we've run into some beggars?"
After hearing this, the whole family's hearts were in their throats.
"What my father-in-law just said makes perfect sense, but my mother-in-law doesn't need to worry for now."
Seeing that everyone looked horrified, Shen Fugui immediately tried to comfort them.
"Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It seems that everyone of us must be more vigilant. It is better not to alert them easily and see what they are going to do. My second brother and I will keep watch tonight, everyone go to sleep first!"
Meng Yun heard the family's discussion and thought, if something really happened, this family would be more than enough to fight against.
Let's see what secrets this village holds.
Then he turned around and fell asleep again.
The nobleman slept on the mud floor, and although he felt a little disgusted, he pretended to be nonchalant when he remembered the little girl's unfathomable remarks about her height.
"Sister, are you scared?"
Zhang Xiaodi looked at his elder sister who had just greeted two nephews who kept kowtowing.
Many memories come to mind.
"Don't be afraid, big sister. It's okay. Your brother-in-law and the others are here. If you don't sleep well, you won't grow taller."
Zhang Fangju found a place for her younger brother and let him lie down.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaodi sat up again and said, "Sister, I'm not afraid. I will protect you and my nephews."
He was a teenager, only a few years older than Shen Yushan and Shen Yulin, but he had developed boundless courage due to the tempering of time.
"Good! Good! Good!
Big sister knows, just sleep well, don't worry about your future not being able to catch up with Yushan's height."
Zhang Fangju muttered.
Little Brother Zhang didn't care at all.
After what Old Man Wu said just now, he felt more integrated.
The atmosphere at my daughter's home is very different from that at the Wu family's.
Even his son-in-law praised him.
Then he has to do something more.
After looking around, she began to take care of Old Mrs. Wu like her daughter did.
Old Mrs. Wu was very surprised.
When did this old man start to care about her?
Old Mrs. Wu was touched.
Chen Xinli saw everyone's actions.
If a family has conflicts when encountering something, something big is bound to happen.
Fortunately, even though they were on the road of exile, both my grandparents were able to integrate into the family.
Chen Xinli slept next to Wu.
Grab a sheet and cover yourself.
I plan to go to the space to find Ah Hua.
But Ah Hua seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
No matter how Chen Xinli called out, Ah Hua did not wake up.
I had to give up.
At midnight, clouds of smoke drifted in through the window.
Chen Xinli felt something was wrong at the first moment.
“Sure enough, there’s movement!”
Shen Fugui also kicked his brother.
Shen Fuyou was about to shout when he saw his elder brother winking at him.
"Shh, keep your voice down, cover your mouth and nose, this smell is wrong."
Shen Fugui also woke up his eldest son Shen Jinshan and Old Man Wu.
Everyone stared at the window cautiously.
Half a minute later, there was movement outside the house.
"They've all fallen!"
"Don't worry, Brother Niu, I used a lot of smoke."
“They are all ugly and awful. It’s getting harder and harder to find people these days.
The man named Aniu looked inside the house and talked to himself.
Then he ordered, "Take them all away, the men and children to the mining area, and the women to the stone mill area."
Chen Xinli signaled to everyone not to panic and that they could only wait and see what their plans were.
So everyone let the other party carry them one by one onto several mule carts.
"Carry this kid away alone."
The man named Aniu pointed at Meng Yundao and kicked him twice.
Meng Yun was furious and wanted to break the boy's legs.
