Zhang Wenxing said softly, "Xiaomin, don't be afraid, Brother will just take a look at the cabinet."
Lian Xiaomin nodded and thought to herself, do you think I look like a scared person?
Brother Erxing spoke as if it were true, and he is quite good at pretending. In fact, everyone knows who knows whom.
When the bandits entered the village and went straight to Lao Zhang's house, it was she who lay on the wall and threw stones, and knocked down all the bandits in the yard.
Zhang Wenxing saw everything.
Lian Xiaomin nodded in cooperation and just focused on coaxing her sister.
This little girl is so chubby that no one else can hold her.
Even Liu Wang didn't do anything. He just stood by and supervised Cai and Xiao Qian, not letting them touch anything.
Only Zhang Wenxing opened the wardrobe, closed it, lifted the lid of the kang cabinet, and closed it again. That was it.
Lian Xiaomin's family has few people and few belongings. There is no extra stuff anywhere, and there is really no place to hide people. There is a large, flat kang and the room is clear. What else is there to see?
They went to the west room again. It was dark here, so Zhang Wenxing turned on the flashlight and pushed the door open.
Lian Xiaomin didn't move, and waited in the east room holding Xiaoya.
But she was also using her mental power to observe, and saw that after Zhang Wenxing entered, he first looked at the large cabinet standing on the ground.
Xiao Qian also went over to take a look, and there was nothing there except a few sundries.
Looking at the kang cabinet again, it was very small and could not hide anyone. Xiao Qian did not follow it. Instead, Zhang Wenxing knelt on the edge of the kang, reached out to lift the lid, took a casual look, and then closed it.
Clerk Cai at the back swung his flashlight twice, looked around the room, then turned around and was the first to go out.
When Zhang Wenxing got off the kang, he paused for a moment. He seemed to feel some residual warmth on the kang mat, but he left without saying anything.
Lian Xiaomin also noticed his slight pause.
But it doesn’t matter, especially since Zhang Wenxing is one of us. No matter what, there is no one hiding in the house.
There was not a single thing in the west room that showed that someone had lived there. It was cleaner and tidier than anyone else's house and there was nothing to complain about.
No one is Sherlock Holmes. Just based on this little clue of the residual warmth of the kang, should we send a reconnaissance company to continue to monitor us?
Even then, she can't be caught, so that's it.
Who doesn't like to have guests at home, so they light up another stove to cook and make hot water.
Lian Xiaomin put Xiaoya and her quilt back on the big kang, got up and went out. After they left, she locked the courtyard door from the inside.
After returning to the house, he locked the door of the kitchen, then went into the east room and continued to coax the little girl to sleep.
The house became quiet and the little kid fell asleep soon.
Lian Xiaomin continued to observe with her mental power, watching the search team search house by house.
Later, in order to speed up the process, at Liu Wang's request, they simply divided the troops into three groups and searched three houses at a time.
After observing for half an hour and seeing that it was moving eastward, Lian Xiaomin finally relaxed and went out to heat up the kang in the west room again.
Xue Hongbing was put back on the kang in the west room along with his bedding and pillow.
I put all the clothes, teacups, cakes, etc. back to their original places, without leaving anything behind, just like before. After making sure there were no problems, I turned around and walked out, closing the door.
She returned to the east room, locked the door, and this time she got on the kang steadily, blew out the kerosene lamp, and lay down.
Holding the little girl who was sleeping soundly, she slowly fell asleep.
I slept until dawn and looked at the watch. It was eight o'clock.
There is an injured person at home, don't sleep in.
Lian Xiaomin got up and put on her clothes to start a new day.
He habitually used his mental power to "investigate" the situation at the brigade headquarters.
Haha, that clerk Cai really "moved like a potato" and left overnight!
The person sleeping in the duty room was Qiangzi, a militiaman from Sandaogou, not Cai or Xiao Qian.
Oh my god, why do I have a feeling that "the Japanese have finally withdrawn."
After getting off the kang, the two little kids were still asleep. Their biological clocks for waking up were also similar to that of their older sister.
Lian Xiaomin is only "outside" the village for about a month every year.
For the other three hundred days, I lived at home with Xiaofu and Xiaoya.
Except for the busy farming seasons such as autumn harvest and spring planting, when everyone has to go to work, people generally don't get up too early in the morning during the rest of the time.
After getting up, she first went to add firewood to the stove to keep the big kangs in the two rooms warm so that the rooms wouldn't be cold.
I used the stove to make breakfast. I cooked a lot of noodles and made some scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
In fact, Xue Hongbing woke up at five o'clock before dawn and went to the toilet in the yard.
He knew he had to be extra careful and not bring any trouble to the good people who took him in.
You have to go to the bathroom after dark as much as possible and don’t leave the house easily during the day.
He heard the noise in the kitchen, climbed up from the kang again, put on his cotton trousers, and searched his pockets. He found two pairs of new black socks carefully placed in them.
He had a smile on his face, wearing a pair of shoes and only a black sweater on his upper body. He walked out slowly to say hello, and it was obvious that he had a limp.
The wound on my calf is not light. I walked such a long way yesterday, so it became more serious. It will take time to heal.
"Master Lian, I'm sorry for bothering you yesterday. I don't need to eat breakfast..."
In fact, many families only have two meals a day, not everyone has three meals a day.
Lian Xiaomin glanced at him and said, "You can't not eat. We're eating too, so you should eat too. I've prepared everything. There's water in the water tank over there. You can scoop some water and wash yourself."
He was given a copy of each toothbrush and toothpaste, the most common ones sold at supply and marketing cooperatives.
There are some things like this in every house. They are usually just placed there without being used and shown to outsiders. It's just right for him to have.
