Fan Dazhu strode forward, covered Sizhu's mouth with his hand, and scolded him sternly: "What are you making such a racket for! I just came back to take a nap, and I'll go over to hand over the duties at midnight."
Fan Sizhu swallowed hard, pried his older brother's hand off his mouth, and asked incredulously, "Brother, you're back to sleep?"
"What's wrong? Nothing's happened all this time, it can't just happen today. Stop making such a fuss, let me get some sleep." Fan Dazhu said as he took off his clothes and shoes and lay down on the bed.
It's freezing outside! I don't know how those guys up there manage to stand it.
Anyway, he's no good anymore, he needs to sleep, and don't bother him even if the sky falls.
The old village chief is really just bored and has nothing better to do. He doesn't cancel patrols and guard duty even though it's almost over. Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
Fan Sizhu looked left and right, then lay down again, looking worried.
I should be fine.
Midnight will pass quickly; then my older brother can go and hand over the duties...

Outside Shanshui Village, figures moved about. The person at the back asked the leader, "Boss, the guards on the wall are gone. They haven't come back for a while. Shall we charge in?"
"We brothers have been staking out for so many days, and we finally found a spot where no one was on duty. Tell me, are we going to rush in or not! You're such a pig-brain!"
"The boss is right."
"That man said this village is incredibly rich. If we take over this village, we'll have grain, silver, lodging, and meat! Especially rabbits, they're said to be countless, and they're all plump and tender!"
"Hehe, that's not all, there are all kinds of beautiful young virgins... We brothers are in luck, once we've got them all, we'll all have a prosperous New Year!"
The sound of swallowing saliva was particularly loud in the darkness, and hundreds of eyes gleamed with greed in the shadows.
"I'll go first and scout things out."
"I'll go open the gate for the brothers."
"Everyone, hurry up and get inside!"
...
Shui Qing suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up, staring straight ahead.
Fan Jin stood up and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I'm a little restless. It's okay, you go to sleep first, I'll calm down before I go to sleep," Shui Qing replied.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, there's naturally a lot more to do than usual. Everyone's busy these days, so she can't disturb anyone's sleep.
Fan Jin was already putting on his outer clothes and said softly, "I'm also a little uneasy. The gong hasn't rung yet, so nothing should happen. However, it's my elder brother and Dazhu who are on duty today, and I'm worried..."
Shui Qing understood what Fan Jin was worried about, but she didn't know that it was Fan Qian and Fan Dazhu who were on duty today.
This family has no sense of responsibility, as can be seen from the frequent floods. But when it comes to the safety of the entire village, especially since their house is the first one at the entrance of the village, can they really be so careless as to abandon their post?
Forget it, people with low moral standards are capable of anything.
She couldn't completely entrust her safety to others, so since she was feeling uneasy, she decided to get up and take a look.
It's not too late to sleep after you've confirmed that everything is alright.
