The rich darkness of the night always breeds evil.
Just as the whole village fell into silence, a van left quietly.
When the sun rose the next day, he reappeared in the village along with all the people who came to the temple fair.
The village radio was on all night last night.
When Xin Guoguo woke up the next day, her face looked a little bad.
Zhou Guowei's brows were furrowed. "The radio was on until midnight yesterday. Several hours. Those kids didn't go home. I'm afraid..."
The whole family had no appetite for this breakfast.
Zhou's father and mother even directly asked their three children not to go out today.
Zhou Xiaoyi was going to copy the "Three Character Classic" today and had no plans to go out, so she agreed obediently.
Zhou Yiyi also nodded.
She didn't know whether that person would come home today, so she had to look after her younger siblings.
After the other three people went to work or to the fields, Xin Guoguo simply closed the gate of the yard.
She sat alone under the mulberry tree not far from the door, carrying beans, planning to wait for the tofu seller to come back and exchange them for a piece of tofu.
The three children were sitting at the stone table.
Xiaoyi copied books.
Yiyi took a book and told Lele a story.
At this moment, several people came to the door:
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm here again."
The three men were all tall and strong, and looked like they were not someone to be trifled with.
Xin Guoguo's face changed. She glanced in the direction of the three children and signaled Zhou Yiyi to take her younger siblings back to their room.
He stood up and said, "It's you, little brother. These two are..."
The gate of their house cannot stop anyone with ulterior motives.
The spliced wooden boards would fall down even if a little kid kicked them.
Xin Guoguo stood there with a kind smile on her face, her eyes watching the movements of the children.
When Zhou Yiyi heard that it was the person from yesterday, she immediately understood the meaning of her mother's look.
She patted Xiaoyi, and when Xiaoyi looked up, she made a "hush" sound at her, still continuing to read the story.
But his hand pointed at Xiaoyi's book, and then pointed into the house.
Although Xiaoyi didn't understand why her sister didn't let her speak, she still packed her things obediently.
Zhou Yiyi held her brother in her arms and followed Xiaoyi, while continuing in a steady voice:
"Okay, that's all for today's story."
After sending his younger brother and sister into the house, he asked Xiaoyi to close the door latch and saddlebag.
Xiaoyi did as she was told.
Then he climbed onto the kang with his brother.
Look out through the window.
I saw my sister walking towards the east room.
After a while, they could no longer see their sister, and could only hear her voice:
"Huh? It's the uncle from yesterday. Uncle, are you coming to our house to drink water again? Wait a minute, I'll go get you some."
Zhou Yiyi ran into the east room without waiting for Liu Biao to speak.
The east room is their storage room.
There were a lot of things piled up in a mess inside.
Zhou Yiyi took out a hatchet she found yesterday, moved it around in her hand a few times, and tried the feel of it.
He took another stick and stood by the door.
Outside, the man's voice was heard:
"Yiyi is still so well behaved. Sister-in-law, these are my two buddies. I looked around yesterday and finally found them. I brought them here to thank you and say goodbye."
"Are you going back today?"
"Yeah." Liu Biao nodded. "I heard the temple fair will end in the afternoon. We'll go home after watching the show. Sister-in-law, please open the door. I brought some fruit for you and the children."
Xin Guoguo waved her hand: "No, no, it's just a bowl of water, why would I ask for fruit? You can take it back and eat it on the way."
While asking the little fur ball in his heart,
"Maotuan, are the police coming soon?"
[It's almost here. It should be here in a minute or two. Host, please hold off a little longer. The police received several reports of missing children in the village last night, so they haven't been back since yesterday.]
When those people appeared at the gate of Zhou's courtyard, it called the police.
"plainclothes?"
[Plain clothes.]
Xin Guoguo breathed a sigh of relief.
That's fine.
Although she can beat these three people alone.
But the original owner was just an ordinary peasant woman.
If she showed too much, she would probably arouse suspicion.
Xin Guoguo cheered up and continued to deal with Liu Biao and others.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite with me. This is what I should do. Please open the door and let us in. We can have some more water. The sun has been really strong these past two days."
Liu Biao had a smile on his face.
But his eyes were already filled with impatience.
Xin Guoguo also smiled and said, "You want some water? Okay, wait a minute."
As she spoke, she not only did not move forward, but instead took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Liu Biao frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
"I'll go in and get you some water. Please wait a moment."
Xin Guoguo grinned, and the smile looked very perfunctory.
The smile on Liu Biao's face faded, and his expression suddenly changed: "You bitch, you don't listen to my advice! Brothers, let's go in!"
As he said that, he took a step back and kicked.
The wooden door made of several wooden boards cracked with a sound.
Xin Guoguo frowned and stopped in her tracks:
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
She subconsciously looked towards the west room.
The faces of the two little babies were deformed by the glass.
Xin Guoguo was a little worried.
Liu Biao strode in, stepping on the wooden plank:
"You bitch, you don't listen to my words and insist on asking me to do something! Fine, I'll do it right now and show you! Brothers, go ahead! Take this woman away too. She's so pretty, Mama Liu will definitely want her too."
