Seeing Wen Shishi, Song Chengfeng held half a sweet potato in both hands and carefully brought it to his mouth...
As if afraid the sweet potato would fall, for some reason, I was reminded of the mouse I once saw in the mansion, clutching a peanut...
It looks remarkably similar to how it does now.
Song Chengfeng thought she would start eating heartily, but unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up...
Looking at Song Chengfeng, he held the sweet potato above his head and asked earnestly, "Sixth Brother, have you eaten yet?"
Are you hungry?
Song Chengfeng chuckled, thinking to himself that he hadn't spoiled this little thing for nothing. He teased, "What are you going to do if Sixth Brother is hungry and hasn't eaten?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy immediately brought the sweet potato to Song Chengfeng's mouth, saying, "You eat..."
Sixth Brother, you eat...
Sixth Brother, you've worked hard!
Song Chengfeng felt a warmth in his heart, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He teased her deliberately, "If Sixth Brother finishes eating, will you cry?"
Wen Shishi paused for a moment, then sighed deeply, as if to comfort herself, "It's alright! Sixth Brother, you eat!"
Song Chengfeng finally couldn't bring himself to be harsh and continued to tease her, stuffing the sweet potato back into Wen Shishi's hand, "Sixth Brother has already eaten, Sixth Brother isn't hungry, good girl!"
After saying that, he gently patted Wen Shishi's head.
As far as I can remember, this was the first time he had spoken so gently to the little guy and moved so tenderly.
Even so, the eldest brother still handed him the sweet potato, while the sixth and tenth brothers refused...
The older brother then told them to use the sweet potato chunks from before as a base.
The rain stopped as night fell, and the ground was covered in puddles, which had been trampled on and made it muddy.
From the moment they reached the mountain, the Song family noticed that the wind had not subsided.
At first, it was just a matter of wind direction, but now, looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, some of them were swirling around, and an ominous premonition rose in the hearts of the Song family.
After tidying up the roof, the Li people gradually fell silent...
The people in the village are gradually falling asleep.
The crowdedness in the warehouse actually helps to keep it warm.
They sat on the ground, leaning on each other, and gradually closed their eyes.
Song Chengjian, along with his fourth, fifth, and ninth brothers, consciously guarded the four directions and remained vigilant...
To prevent the deputy chieftain or shaman from targeting them...
As the night wore on, people outside the granary began to doze off against the outer wall...
The Song family members suddenly noticed something unusual.
"Big brother..."
Song Chengjian gently woke up his elder brother, Song Chenghou.
Song Chenghou looked up groggily and, following the direction Song Chengjian pointed, saw several dark figures...
He slipped away in the direction where Song Chengfeng had gone to treat the critically ill Li Kun that afternoon...
His movements were furtive and he was extremely alert; he clearly had ill intentions.
The guards outside the door were snoring loudly, completely unaware of what was happening.
After a few moments of thought, Song Chenghou guessed what these people were planning. Even if he wasn't sure, he was pretty close to it.
"Quick! Wake up the people outside, the bigger the commotion the better, we can't let them succeed!"
Song Chenghou made a quick decision and gave the order.
So Song Chengjian shoved the people around him and shouted to the fourth, fifth, and ninth brothers, "Shout with me, the bigger the commotion, the better!"
The three younger brothers nodded and shouted along with Song Chengjian, "Help! Someone has broken into the village!"
"Help! Someone has broken into our mountain stronghold!"
......
The others, who were dozing off, were instantly awakened by those few sounds.
The guards outside the warehouse were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Before speaking, Song Chengjian covered Wen Shishi's ears with both hands...
Even so, the little one in his sleep was still startled and trembled a few times. He suddenly woke up and saw his older brothers, but he didn't cry.
Song Chengjian held Wen Shishi in his arms, gently comforting her and stroking her back.
The young novices weren't so lucky; they were woken up at the same time as their senior brothers and screamed in fright.
The monks hurriedly tried to calm them down.
Song Chengjian and his brothers, along with Jiang's men, shouted loudly together. Song Chenghou then gave a brief explanation to the abbot.
"What are you shouting for? If you keep yelling, I'll kill you all!"
The guard, awakened by the noise, impatiently threatened him.
After listening to the Song family's explanation, although he was impatient, he still sent two people to check in the direction of Li Kun's house.
The sounds were mixed together, and soon light appeared in the village.
Lin Hong and his son Lin Sen, along with clan leader Li Guang and young lady Li Jing, arrived together with their subordinates.
"What happened?"
Lin Hong was the first to question.
The guard hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. Song Chenghou was about to get up when Song Chengfeng grabbed him and pressed him down.
"Big brother, you and second brother are both injured, don't go outside!"
Song Chengfeng was about to go out, but his third brother held his shoulder down, and the third brother, Song Chengxin, went out first.
He introduced himself and explained what had happened that night when he saw the dark figure.
The clan leader and the others all looked at the guards.
The guard explained that two people had already been sent to investigate.
"Has the person returned?"
Chief Li Guang asked.
The guards fell silent.
Li Jing immediately led his men to investigate personally.
Lin Sen, noticing his father's gaze, also took two people with him and followed.
A short while later, the two injured guards were helped back.
Li Jing reported, "Father, when we arrived, several men in black were fighting with Li Kun and two guards..."
Two guards were injured, but we arrived in time..."
The clan chief, his face grave, asked Li Jing, "Did the man in black leave any clues? Or any distinguishing features?"
