Chapter 47: Staying Together to Destroy the Foundation

In the dark and quiet room, Jiang Tang bent down, and rubbed the man's hot back to his shoulders and neck, then kneaded it hard.

In the stagnant space, the girl asked softly, "Qin Xiao, is it okay?"

The man said nothing, only uttered one word.

Jiang Tang frowned, exerted force with her hands, and whispered, "Qin Xiao, your shoulder is too stiff. I heard that it's stiff because the blockage is serious."

The man lying on the bed held his breath, his rough hands clenching tighter and tighter.

Hearing what the woman said, he tightened his jaw, exhaled heavily, and tried to relax his body.

Jiang Tang felt pain in his hand after kneading for a while, so he patted Qin Xiao's shoulder and said, "No, you're too hard, I can't press it."

She overestimated herself.

Jiang Tang had just finished speaking before his voice fell.

The next moment, the man turned over quickly. In the darkness, his rough hands accurately grasped the girl's wrist, and his voice was hoarse, "Stop pinching, go to sleep."

It seemed like he had been patient for a long time, and now when he heard Jiang Tang wanted to give up, he immediately expressed his approval with his actions.

Jiang Tang: ...

Jiang Tang supported herself on the bed with her other hand. The temperature on her wrist was so hot that she realized belatedly that something seemed to be wrong. She clenched her hand lightly, and the man's clenched hand loosened instantly.

Jiang Tang exhaled softly, lying on his back on the bed, his dark eyes staring at the dim beams.

The breathing of the man beside him became more and more obvious. Jiang Tang swallowed and closed his eyes tightly.

"Qin...Qin Xiao, you should find a professional doctor to check you out in the future. I can't do it. Don't hurt you."

After a while, the man's voice became hoarse, like sandblasted iron, "Hmm."

"Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang's heart was trembling, and he gently touched his heart. In the dim and quiet space, his heart was beating like a drum, and his breathing became lighter.

Qin Xiao swallowed, it was as if a hand penetrated through his hard shell and touched his soft and fragile heart. His whole body was numb and it seemed as if his heart would burst out of his body at any time.

He adjusted his breathing heavily, afraid that the people around him would notice. His dark eyes were fixed on the darkness, his face was tense and his eyes were empty.

Time passed very slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the girl who was sleeping beside him rolled into his arms on her own. Qin Xiao moved his hands and let out a low breath.

The next morning, before the weather got cold, Jiang Tang opened his eyes, then slowly closed them again, yawning from sleepiness.

The man's eyes were dark and blue, and he whispered, "Don't get up, I'll steam the buns and leave soon, I won't lie to you."

Jiang Tang's eyelids struggled for a moment, then closed in a compromise, muttering, "There's a lunch box I prepared for you yesterday in the refrigerator, remember to take it with you."

Jiang Tang heard the man's response in a daze, then closed her eyes completely and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Tang slept soundly before slowly getting up from the bed, changing her clothes, casually tying her hair into a ponytail, and opening the door.

After her mind was completely clear, the memories in her mind became clearer and clearer. She blinked her eyes gently. Qin Xiao seemed very tired this morning. She saw the blue color under the man's eyes when she was dazed.

Jiang Tang pursed her lips lightly, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Wenjuan and Aunt Guimei were already busy. Jiang Tang touched his nose, shook off the inexplicable emotions, and quickly tidied himself up.

Wen Juaner and Zhang Guimei saw her embarrassed look, looked at each other, smiled and did not take the initiative to expose her, just pretending not to know.

I don’t think getting up late is a big deal.

After Jiang Tang finished her meal with the kid, she took Qin Chuyang out. She wanted to go to the city to buy some things and see if the supply and marketing cooperative sold any of them. She would then come back to make some bread so that it could be stored longer. In the future, she wouldn't have to get up every morning.

I took the kid to the city and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Jiang Tang went to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask, and to his surprise, the cooperative actually had butter and other things that could be used to make bread, so he bought some without hesitation.

Then he took Qin Chuyang to the street, bought a fish, and bought some meat from the pork stall. As they walked along, they passed by Qin Xiao and their stall.

Wang Qilei was busy at the stall, and Jiang Tang didn't intend to go over and disturb him from doing business. After taking a look, he took Qin Chuyang and was about to leave.

The sharp-eyed Wang Qilei saw Jiang Tang bringing Qin Chuyang, and immediately shouted towards them, "Sister-in-law! Chuyang!"

Jiang Tang heard it, stopped, and led Qin Chuyang towards his stall.

Seeing them coming, Wang Qilei breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Tang stood in front of the stall and raised his voice, "Leizi, what's wrong?"

There were customers talking all around, as well as the bustling sounds of the market, so Wang Qilei had no choice but to shout loudly to Jiang Tang.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao originally asked me to tell you when I get back that he won't be back for dinner tonight, so you and Chuyang can eat by yourselves and don't wait for him."

He had originally planned to close the stall early today and go back to tell his sister-in-law in advance. Now that his sister-in-law was over, Wang Qile immediately stopped Jiang Tang and told her.

Jiang Tang frowned, glanced to the side, and led Qin Chuyang around the side of the stall, walked into the stall, and stood next to Wang Qilei, "Leizi, did Qin Xiao tell you what it was?"

Why can't I go home suddenly?

Wang Qilei touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Tang's voice turned cold, "Can't you tell me?"

Wang Qilei was a little frightened. Not to mention that they were really a couple, his sister-in-law looked a bit like Brother Xiao when she looked at him coldly.

He touched his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I can't tell you, I'm just afraid that if I tell you, you'll worry."

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, "What happened?"

Wang Qilei sighed, his voice inevitably becoming a little angry, "The factory that Brother Xiao built has only been in operation for two days."

He looked at Jiang Tang and said angrily, "I don't know who it was, but they secretly tried to destroy the foundation last night. They dug a hole next to the foundation that Brother Xiao and his team had just built, and destroyed the wet cement. Fortunately, it wasn't that serious and we were able to save him. Brother Xiao must be on guard tonight."

Wang Qilei stared at Jiang Tang's expression before saying, "So Brother Xiao probably wanted to catch a thief tonight, so he told me early in the morning and asked me to go back and tell you, sister-in-law, that he would not be going back tonight."

After listening to what Wang Qilei said, Jiang Tang's brows tightened. The foundation was almost destroyed by someone. That person must have a grudge against them. He was stupid and evil.

Who has such a deep hatred and can't stand seeing others doing well?

"Qin Xiao plans to guard the place all night by himself?" It's a remote place in the wilderness, without even a shed.

Wang Qilei pursed his lips and nodded, "If Brother Hetian had come back today, he could have taken turns guarding with Brother Xiao. He was delayed in Pengcheng for a day and he probably won't be back until tomorrow."

Wang Qilei said apologetically, "So, Brother Xiao can only guard it by himself."

Jiang Tang closed her eyes. That man was really like that. He had to handle everything by himself, as if he never got tired.

Really annoying.

Jiang Tang nodded to Wang Qilei, and then said, "Leizi, please tell me."

Wang Qilei shook his head, "No need, sister-in-law."

He was afraid that Jiang Tang would worry, so he quickly added, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much about Xiao Ge. When we were working before, Xiao Ge also stayed up all night, and sometimes all night. If he can catch the thief tonight, he will definitely go back."

Jiang Tang's chest stagnated, and he nodded lightly, "I understand."

She pulled out a smile from her lips and said slowly, "Then I am sorry to bother you, you go ahead and do your work."

After Wang Qile finished speaking impulsively, he regretted it. Looking at the back of his sister-in-law holding Qin Chuyang's hand, he slapped his mouth hard.

There are so many things to say, just tell him all about how hard and tired Brother Xiao is. It's over, and my sister-in-law will definitely be heartbroken.

He would be in trouble if Brother Xiao knew about this.

Wang Qilei returned to his seat with his head down and continued to greet guests listlessly.

Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang back home.

After returning home, I didn't rest but put the backpack on the chair.

Then take out all the things you bought and put them in the refrigerator.

Originally, Jiang Tang had planned to cook a fish for Qin Xiao tonight to make up for his loss. It was obvious that the man did not sleep well last night. But now, Jiang Tang could only put the fish in the basin and let it live for another day.

She had to keep watch at night, so she definitely couldn't light a fire. She thought for a moment, scooped flour from the cupboard and put it into an enamel basin, added a small amount of salt, then an appropriate amount of sugar, then boiled water, stirred it slowly with warm water, beat two eggs, yeast, and fresh milk, and after kneading the dough, she began to let it rest.

After the dough has rested, knead it again and add appropriate amount of oil to ensure a smooth surface.

Then roll the dough into long strips, stack them on top of each other, repeat the process, and finally put the dough into the oven.

While the bread was toasting, Jiang Tang heated up the oil in the pan again, then quickly fried a few eggs and placed them in a bowl for later use.

I also took some vegetables and cucumbers from the refrigerator and washed them.

Since there was no luncheon meat, Jiang Tang simply fried some pork chops as a backup.

I waited half an hour before taking the bread out of the oven.

There was no professional equipment at home, so Jiang Tang simply used a kitchen knife to cut a large piece of bread into slices, then piled the freshly prepared eggs, cucumbers, vegetables and pork chops on top, and finally added some chopped seaweed and the chicken floss he had made earlier.

Jiang Tang wrapped the sandwiches with wax paper and made a few more.

Then he tilted his head to look at the eager expression in the little boy's big eyes, smiled and gave the kid a piece, "Let's try Chuyang and see if it tastes good."

Qin Chuyang looked up at his sister-in-law, licked his lips, and took it obediently.

Then he took a big bite, and Black Grape stared at Jiang Tang with his big, sparkling eyes, "Sister-in-law, it smells good."

The boy ate happily, and Jiang Tang also ate one.

Looking at the sky outside, it is already afternoon.

Jiang Tang made another simple milk tea without even adding pearls, and poured it into a bottle after it was done.

Then, watching the kid holding the bowl and drinking milk tea, Jiang Tang bent down to look him in the eye, "Chuyang, can I discuss something with you?"

Qin Chuyang looked up at his sister-in-law and nodded obediently, "Okay."

Jiang Tang touched his head and said softly, "Brother is going to catch the bad guys tonight, so he won't go home. Can Chuyang understand?"

"I know!" The little guy frowned, "Sister-in-law, my brother is really good at catching bad guys!"

Jiang Tang touched his little head, squatted in front of the boy, and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law plans to catch the bad guys with brother."

She looked into the boy's eyes seriously and said softly, "Can Chuyang go home with Sister Wenjuan tonight? Sister-in-law will be back tomorrow."

"Okay." The young man agreed without thinking.

Jiang Tang was a little surprised. She was afraid that the kid would be scared, so she was a little hesitant. She didn't expect the kid to agree so easily.

She reached out and stroked the kid's shoulder, "Chu Yang..."

Qin Chuyang's face was serious. "Sister-in-law, you and brother go catch the bad guys. I will wait for you to come back and won't make any trouble."

Jiang Tang's eyes were a little hot. He reached out and held the kid in his arms, rubbing the back of the kid's head. "Okay."

She let go of the little guy and hooked her pinky finger, "Make a promise. Sister-in-law will definitely be back tomorrow."

Lifting the little boy's hand, Jiang Tang curled his lips slightly and coaxed him softly, "Pull the hook and hang yourself for a hundred years without changing."

The young man also laughed, "He has transformed into Zhu Bajie!"

Jiang Tang hugged the little guy again, and then took Qin Chuyang to find Wen Juan.

Wen Juan and Auntie Gui Mei were still busy. When they saw Jiang Tang, they immediately came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Jiang Tang told Wen Juan about the matter. "It's like this. I plan to accompany Qin Xiao tonight, so I would like to trouble Juan'er to take Chu Yang to your house to sleep for one night. I will definitely be back tomorrow."

Wen Juan agreed without saying anything, frowning and saying, "Sister-in-law, this is really a bother for you. If my family and He Tian hadn't come back, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to accompany Brother Xiao to watch over the place."

This should have been something that Hetian and Xiaoge could do alone, but now that it's been delayed, my sister-in-law has to go and accompany Xiaoge.

Jiang Tang shook his head, not realizing what was going on.

Wen Juan bent down and looked at Qin Chuyang, and said with a smile, "Chuyang, can you sleep with me tonight?"

She spoke softly, fearing that the boy might feel resistance.

Qin Chuyang nodded obediently, being sensible and obedient.

Jiang Tangcai said, "Juan'er, please stay with Chuyang. It's getting late now. I'll go find Qin Xiao directly."

Qin Chuyang pursed his lips and walked obediently to Wen Juan before turning back to look at Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang felt a little sad, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't take Chu Yang with him because it was still a remote place and Chu Yang wouldn't be able to stand it.

Wen Juan also looked somewhat helpless, and responded softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Chu Yang."

Jiang Tang hummed, glanced at the boy, bent down and gently pinched the kid's face, then turned back to the kitchen, put away all the things, went back to the room, put on a coat, brought a piece of clothing for the man, slung a bag, and then left home.

Qin Chuyang was leaning against the door, his big eyes red, and he didn't wipe away his tears until Jiang Tang left.

Wenjuan felt sad, thinking that this little boy was too well-behaved.

She gently rubbed the kid's head and sighed softly.

Jiang Tang walked quickly to the entrance of the village and caught the last tricycle heading to the city. She held her bag quietly all the way and arrived at the city gate without even getting carsick.

She got out of the car and gave the money but didn't go to find Qin Xiao first.

Instead, I went straight into the city and bought a thin blanket. It would definitely be cold there at night and there was nothing there, so a thin blanket should be enough to get me through the night. After buying everything, I took a tricycle out of the city. After getting off the tricycle, I walked directly to the factory area.

Jiang Tang's footsteps slowly stopped only when he saw the tall figure of the man.

She bit her lip lightly, suppressed the heat in her eyes, and called out to the man not far away, "Qin Xiao."

Almost instantly, the tall and strong figure of the man not far away stopped, and turned around after a moment.

His dark eyes stared at the little girl who appeared in front of him.

Qin Xiao opened his mouth and swallowed repeatedly, his voice rough and hoarse, "Why are you here?"

The thin figure not far away was almost drowned by the background around it. It was so small that Qin Xiao could only see that figure.

Jiang Tang walked up to the man step by step, a smile on her lips, stars twinkling in her eyes, "I came to find you."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Tang turned away from the man's focused gaze. His dark eyes passed over the man in front of him and looked at the foundation being built opposite. He blinked, "Qin Xiao, where is the foundation damaged? Is it fixed?"

The man did not answer. He looked at the woman who was so close to him. He grabbed the girl's slender wrist with his rough hand and pulled her in front of him. He whispered, "Go back."

Jiang Tang pursed her lips, ignored him, turned her head to look at the foundation, and tried to find the place that had been damaged.

As long as she doesn't look or answer, she can't be driven away.

Her cheeks were suddenly pinched by a pair of rough hands. Jiang Tang was forced to turn around and look at the man in front of her. She saw the man's cold and hard face in her pupils and swallowed softly.

Qin Xiao's hand stroked the girl's cheek. The slippery touch in his palm made him not know how to use the right strength.

He held the girl's fair face gently, his brows furrowed, "Jiang Tang, go back."

Jiang Tang curled his lips slightly and mumbled, "I'm already here, and I don't plan to leave."

As he spoke, he felt the rough touch on his face, which caused some pain.

She stared at the man in front of her, biting the inner wall of her mouth with her teeth, feeling a little aggrieved.

The girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and even the corners of her eyes were red.

She murmured softly, "It hurts."

When Qin Xiao saw it, his heart suddenly ached. He quickly loosened his hand as if it was burned, and saw that the girl's originally porcelain-white face was covered with red marks, which were extremely obvious.

Qin Xiao's palm twitched for a moment, but he didn't touch it and let it fall to his side again.

He closed his eyes and could only restrain himself, "There's nothing here, you can't stand it."

Jiang Tang snorted softly, pointed at the thin blanket at her feet with her delicate fingers, and looked up at the man proudly, "I'm ready."

Besides, it's just staying up late and arresting people, what's the big deal? How could a modern beauty not stay up late? It would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

She must be fine!

Qin Xiao's eyes followed the girl's fingertips to the thin blanket, and his eyes darkened, trying to make the ungrateful girl in front of him give up, "It's cold at night, this blanket is not enough."

Jiang Tang curled her lips quietly. Since she was already here, she would not leave even if he threatened her.

"Jiang Tang, listen to me."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl in front of him. Not only was it cold at night, this place was not a place to live. Moreover, the enemy was in the dark and he didn't know their background. What if a fight broke out and the little girl got hurt?

Jiang Tang had already walked past him and carefully checked the foundation. He looked up at the people working and said with a smile, "Brother, you guys today... um..."

Her lips were covered by the man's rough big hand. Jiang Tang's body softened immediately, and the man covered her mouth and lifted her waist to the side.

The people who were working widened their eyes when they saw how Qin Xiao treated Jiang Tang.

Looking at Jiang Tang being carried away by the waist, he rubbed his head and said, "My goodness, isn't Qin Xiao a gigolo? How can he be so arrogant!"

"That's right. If I had married Comrade Jiang Tang, I would have definitely treated him like a spoiled brat every day. I wouldn't be like Qin Xiao, who doesn't know what's good for him."

"That's right. Comrade Jiang Tang wanted to talk to me just now, right? Qin Xiao is a man with a big heart. I don't know what Comrade Jiang Tang likes about him."

Some grown men were acting weird and couldn't stand the fact that Qin Xiao was just taking advantage of her.

This is the attitude of a freeloader. If they were to eat it, they would definitely cook better than Qin Xiao!

Jiang Tang was carried by the man, and after struggling in vain, she simply collapsed.

Qin Xiao grabbed the girl's waist and lifted her, who had collapsed into a pile, to a far distance before letting go and gently putting her on the ground.

As soon as Jiang Tang landed on the ground, she stretched out her foot and stomped hard on the man's foot, then hugged her chest in anger.

Qin Xiao remained expressionless as he felt the force on his feet that was neither light nor heavy.

He stared intently at the little girl in front of him, "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

Jiang Tang looked up at him, "Sure."

Looking at the serious look on the little girl's face, Qin Xiao compromised.

"good."

Jiang Tang's eyes suddenly became sparkling, shining like stars, "Do you agree?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said coldly, "If you can't bear it, don't regret it."

Jiang Tang nodded happily, "No."

Since the man had agreed, Jiang Tang came up to Qin Xiao and said, "Don't worry, I've asked Juan'er to help take care of Chuyang. Nothing will happen to him."

Since the little girl is here, she will definitely take good care of her brother, Qin Xiao responded.

Seeing that his expression was relatively calm, Jiang Tang felt relieved and asked in a low voice, "Tell me quickly, how badly the foundation has been damaged."

Qin Xiao walked towards the foundation, and Jiang Tang followed closely behind him.

Walking to the outside, Qin Xiao pointed to the corner of the foundation and said in a deep voice, "A pit has been dug here. The cement that was made yesterday has been damaged, and there are some loose stones."

Jiang Tang looked over and didn't see anything wrong.

Qin Xiao said slowly, "It has all been filled today."

Jiang Tang nodded and frowned, "What if the thieves don't come tonight?"

"Guard." Qin Xiao turned his head and stared at the little girl, the corners of his lips twitched, "Guard until the factory is built."

Jiang Tang took a deep breath, blinked, and stared at the man in front of him, "That means I have to watch over him every day."

Her eyebrows slightly frowned, "How can this be possible? I can't stand it."

Staring at the girl's worried face, Qin Xiao's dark eyes showed a smile, "Well, but when He Tian comes back tomorrow, we can take turns guarding."

Jiang Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people not far away looked at the two people who were obviously reconciled. They didn't know why, but they felt full even though they were obviously very tired and hadn't finished their meal.

Very weird.

Qin Xiao had not expected Jiang Tang to come suddenly. Originally, he just wanted to find a secret place and wait for him.

Now the little girl came. His black eyes secretly stared at the girl's delicate appearance. He sighed softly, and took Jiang Tang to find a secret place next to the piled up wood. He tried to choose a place that was as windproof as possible, and then cut some banana leaves and palm leaves and laid them out.

Bring over the thin blanket that Jiang Tang brought.

Jiang Tang just stood aside and watched the man's movements, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, there's no need to be like this."

Qin Xiao laid out the things silently. He held his hands together but they were still a little stiff. He frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied, and wanted to chase the girl away again.

Jiang Tang immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist, "It's okay, and I brought a blanket, it's no problem."

As she spoke, she dragged the man away and Qin Xiao followed the girl's force to move forward.

As it got dark, everyone else finished work.

They all greeted Qin Xiao, and from time to time they glanced at Jiang Tang who was standing next to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao stared at the group of people expressionlessly, and suddenly grabbed the girl's hand.

The group of people were instantly disappointed, said hello to Qin Xiao and left.

Going home in groups.

Such a big place was extremely empty, with only Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang left.

After staring at the backs of those people, Qin Xiao let go of the girl's hand.

Jiang Tang exhaled softly, tilted his head to look at Qin Xiao, and raised his lips slightly, "You must be hungry, I brought you some food, eat first."

The little girl really didn't seem to think it was a big deal at all, and had a smile on her little face.

Qin Xiao nodded slightly.

Jiang Tang took out the sandwich from his bag and handed it to Qin Xiao, "You don't need to heat it up."

She smiled and said, "I brought a lot, so you can eat it if you're hungry at night."

"Don't worry about lighting a fire to alert thieves."

Qin Xiao responded softly. The little girl even considered this, so she must have made up her mind not to go back today. He took the sandwich made by Jiang Tang and took a big bite.

Jiang Tang also took one for himself, took two bites, took out the milk tea from his bag and took a sip.

Handing it to Qin Xiao, "This is a casually made milk tea. It doesn't have the fishy smell of fresh milk. Try it."

Staring at the thing the little girl handed over, the lid had already been opened by the girl. After taking a sip, Qin Xiao took it silently.

His black eyes stared at the little girl's milk-stained lips. He raised his head and took a sip.

Jiang Tang stared at the man blankly. His cheeks felt slightly hot as he looked at her. He avoided her gaze and ate his food in small bites.

After finishing the meal, the sky gradually became dark. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Qin Xiao did not even turn on the flashlight he was carrying.

Jiang Tang sat on the place prepared by the man. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a slight coolness, which was quite comfortable.

The man next to her sat outside, shielding Jiang Tang from most of the wind.

Jiang Tang handed the coat she brought for the man to him.

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes, took it and put it on quickly. He watched the little girl put on her coat as well, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you cold?"

Jiang Tang shook his head and sniffed softly, "No."

The man suddenly laughed out loud.

Jiang Tang tilted his head to look at him, curled his lips, stared blankly at the gray area in front of him, and whispered, "It would be nice if there was surveillance."

She tilted her face and held her chin up to look at Qin Xiao. If there was surveillance, she would have found the man and sent him to the police long ago.

Why do we need the two of us to sit here and wait for something to happen? That's too passive.

If no one comes, they will be the ones who suffer.

"Surveillance?" The man rarely showed doubt.

Jiang Tang rubbed his chin, "Well, just like a video camera, it can take a picture of the person inside. That way, we don't have to stand guard here all night. We can just take a picture of the thief and send him to the police."

There is evidence.

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl without saying a word. He guessed that this was also something the girl knew in the capital. The man's eyes were dark.

Gradually, as the night deepened, Jiang Tang began to feel pain in her buttocks and her body began to feel cold. She moved little by little towards the man, who was already covered with a blanket.

As soon as she got close to the man, she felt that he was warm. Jiang Tang was puzzled, "Qin Xiao, aren't you cold?"

Qin Xiao couldn't calm down. He listened to the girl's innocent words and responded softly, "Yeah."

Jiang Tang was a little envious. Wrapped in a thin blanket, he moved closer to Qin Xiao and stared at the night sky. "That thief will not come tonight, will he?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse. "It will come."

Jiang Tang muttered softly, "That's right. If you knew that you had spent the whole night doing this and it was useless, you would definitely be furious and lose your temper."

The night was quiet and completely covered by darkness, empty and lonely. Only in that small spot, two shadows, one tall and one short, were pressed together, close and intimate.

Jiang Tang gradually curled up his body, his mind was a little dazed, and he yawned softly.

Qin Xiao tilted his head and stared at the little girl's sleepy face in the moonlight. In the night, his usually cold and hard voice seemed to reveal a hint of tenderness and tenderness. "Are you sleepy?"

Jiang Tang rubbed his eyes, not wanting to admit that he felt sleepy, cold, and painful.

She never thought that when she stayed up late in the past, she would lie in a warm bed, holding a mobile phone or tablet in her hands, in a completely comfortable environment, reluctant to fall asleep and not feeling it was difficult.

But now, in a completely open-air environment, my butt is hard, and besides the sound of the breeze blowing past my ears, I can occasionally hear the chirping of insects and birds and some weird noises, which infinitely increase the sense of tension in my heart.

Jiang Tang yawned, his tone full of uncertainty, "Qin Xiao, are there any wild animals in the mountains?"

In the 1980s, the mountains and forests were more mysterious and dangerous. Jiang Tang stared at the mountains and forests not far away, listening to the sounds coming from time to time, and felt a little worried.

"No, this is not a deep mountain, don't be afraid."

The man's voice was emotionless. Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I started to feel sleepy.

The girl beside him nodded her head. Qin Xiao let out a low breath, folded up his coat, raised his hands to hold the girl's body, spread the coat on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang tilted her head, looked up at the man, and yawned softly, "I'm not sleepy."

Qin Xiao: ...

"Well, I guess I can't wait today, but it doesn't matter."

Jiang Tang drooped his eyelids and asked softly, "Really?"

The man responded.

Then he said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang was somewhat tempted, and then he mumbled and said, "If you feel sleepy in the second half of the night, remember to call me, I will take your place."

"Let's take turns."

The man said in a gentle voice, "Okay."

Jiang Tang's mood suddenly relaxed.

Finally, she forced herself to close her eyes, staring at the endless night sky, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, if you catch him, you must teach him a lesson."

The woman didn't need to tell him, Qin Xiao's eyes were full of cruelty, and his voice seemed to be filled with swords, "Yeah."

"This guy is so bad. He must be a stupid and bad person to do such a thankless job. If we catch him, can we send him to prison..."

The girl's mumbling gradually became silent, and Qin Xiao felt a weight drop on his shoulders.

Turning my head in the moonlight, I could see the girl's delicate, porcelain-white face, which was wrinkled and full of dissatisfaction even when she was asleep.

I was so worried that my little face looked unhappy even when I fell asleep.

Qin Xiao raised his hand and covered the girl with the thin blanket. After a while, the little girl, who felt cold, came close to him and was held tightly at the crook of his arm. He stared at the empty moonlight in a daze.

A smile appeared on his lips. This was the warmest night he had ever spent. The little ball next to him seemed to carry infinite energy, and the warmth in his heart flowed to every part of his body.

In the silent night, I don't know when, a rustling noise suddenly appeared, which was unusually obvious in the empty and quiet night.

The person they were waiting for arrived.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, held his breath, tilted his head to stare at the girl who was sleeping soundly next to him, without making any movement, just waiting quietly.

The black eyes locked onto a dark shadow almost at the same time the person appeared. He sneaked to the side of the foundation and looked around, as if considering where to start.

When the man found a good position and started digging, Qin Xiao tilted his head, gently supported the girl's face with his big hands, and wanted to put her aside.

His sudden departure seemed to have taken away all the warmth from the girl. Jiang Tang shivered and was frozen awake for a moment.

The next moment he slowly opened his eyes and put his fingers to the girl's lips.

Jiang Tang was confused, and then slowly reacted. His misty eyes suddenly became alert. He realized something and nodded obediently.

Qin Xiao withdrew his hand, and when he saw that the girl had woken up, he stood up and strode towards the black shadow who was working hard.

Jiang Tang yawned softly, tugged at the thin blanket on his body, and there was mist in his eyes.

The next moment, the man's screams broke through the night sky, directly scaring away the birds and beasts in the woods at night.

Jiang Tang was so shocked that he shuddered, let out a breath, then stroked his heart, and stood up with his sore legs. His legs were numb, and Jiang Tang stood there for a while before he reached for the flashlight next to Qin Xiao, turned it on, and walked over.

He walked to Qin Xiao's side and shone the strong light of the flashlight directly at the person who came.

Seeing the person in front of him, Jiang Tang frowned. Who else could this person who was subdued by Qin Xiao be but Jiang Hu?

How dare Jiang Hu come here to cause trouble? !

He was really not afraid that Jiang Cui would not be able to get married.

Jiang Hu's hand had been broken by Qin Xiao, using the pickaxe he brought with him.

The pain was so severe that cold sweat broke out on my body. I gasped for breath and couldn't help shouting in pain.

Jiang Tang walked to Qin Xiao's side, grabbed the corner of Qin Xiao's clothes, and whispered, "Qin Xiao, his hand is broken?"

Qin Xiao thought she was scared, so he was silent for a moment, then he held the girl's cold little hand and responded softly.

Jiang Tang tilted his head and stared at Qin Xiao. "Will you be okay?" The girl frowned slightly, feeling a little entangled. "He did something bad himself, so we should break his hand."

The girl's voice sounded a little uncertain. Qin Xiao suddenly let out a smile from his throat and responded in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, I guess."

Jiang Tang breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.
