At that time, you couldn't even rely on your own family, let alone others.
Song Lili felt a sense of urgency, always feeling that she needed to come up with a way to get through this safely as soon as possible.
Song Lili fell into deep thought, as did Song Yongren, but seeing that Song Lili was alright, he also put his thoughts aside.
He put Song Fang in the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and made Song Lili lie down as well. Then he took Song Jianshe and went out.
Even after the room went dark, Song Lili's eyes remained wide open; she couldn't sleep after experiencing such a nightmare.
A moment later, she felt something moving beside her, and then a small body snuggled into his arms. "Sister, I'm scared, I'm afraid to sleep..."
Song Lili sighed, thinking that Song Fang was too timid, but she still hugged her tightly and said, "It's okay, go to sleep, I'll hold you."
Next door, Song Yongren and his son were also awake, talking in the darkness. "Big Brother, do you believe what Lili said?" Song Jianshe couldn't help but ask.
He couldn't rest easy without asking. He knew in his heart that it was a dream, not real, but he also thought, what if it was?
Song Yongren didn't speak for a long time before saying "I don't believe it," but he didn't mention some of his guesses, only saying that he didn't believe it.
Song Jianshe breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest reassuringly, "I told you it wasn't real, it was just a dream."
"Besides, how could people be so cruel? It must be fake, and it won't turn into what Lily dreamed of."
Just as Song Jianshe was about to fall asleep, Song Yongren suddenly said, "From now on, be careful in the village. Don't discuss what Lili said tonight with anyone else..."
Song Jianshe jolted awake. "Sir, wasn't it said to be fake? Why do we still need to be careful?"
"It's always good to be careful. Just be careful, it won't cause any problems. From now on, let Fangfang stay with Lili and not run around alone."
This daughter is timid, but she's also the most likely to say inappropriate things.
Song Jianshe said sullenly, "I understand." But in his heart, he wondered: Did Da Da believe what Lili said?
The next day, they were harvesting barley again, but this time it was on the mountain near the first brigade, so Song Lili and the others needed to set off earlier.
Song Lili covered her swollen, shiny face, glaring at Song Jianshe with hatred. "Brother, are you getting revenge on me? Why did you hit me so hard?"
My entire face was swollen, and after a night, it looked even more terrifying.
Feeling guilty, Song Jianshe didn't dare look at Song Lili and stammered, "I was just in a hurry, you looked like you were possessed, so I..."
Song Lili immediately said sternly, "Song Jianshe, watch what you're saying! I just had a nightmare. Got it?"
What kind of possession is this? Are you really not afraid of being overheard?
In fact, Song Lili didn't know if saying this would cause trouble, but when the situation was unclear, she had to be cautious and nip any potential problems in the bud.
Song Jianshe was startled by Song Lili, but remembering his father's words from the previous night, he could only say in a low voice, "I know, isn't this at home?"
"Home isn't an option either. What if someone's listening in? What will you do then?"
Song Jianshe fell silent, because he knew that his sister was right.
The houses in the countryside are all detached houses with their own gates and courtyards, but those gates are practically nonexistent. Whatever you say in the courtyard can be heard by people on the main road outside. There is absolutely no privacy whatsoever.
When Yang Mei came to call Song Lili, she was so frightened by Song Lili's pig-like face that she screamed, "Ah...who are you?"
Song Lili rolled her eyes, but no one else saw it. "Sister Yang Mei, it's me, Lili, stop calling me." Her ears were about to be deafened.
She didn't sleep well in the latter half of last night and was severely sleep-deprived. Yang Mei's soprano voice startled her and made her much more awake, but she still has a headache!
"Lili? What happened to you? What happened to your face?" Then, as if remembering something, she asked cautiously, "Did your uncle hit you?"
Song Lili laughed, "Sister Yangmei, what are you thinking? How could my uncle possibly hit me? I got bitten by mosquitoes last night, and then I beat myself up like this in my sleep."
"Is that so?" Yang Mei asked doubtfully, but thinking of how good Song Yongren and Song Jianshe were to the Lili sisters, she believed Song Lili's words.
Seeing that Yang Mei wasn't asking any more questions, Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that the real trouble was yet to come.
When Zhang Qinghua and Li Qinghua saw Song Lili's pig's head, one was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, while the other's face was covered with dark clouds.
Li Qinghua stared at Song Lili's face exaggeratedly, then circled her several times before asking incredulously, "Song Lili, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you? There are still fingerprints on it."
Song Lili wanted to roll her eyes again. Why did everyone ask that? Couldn't she just be hitting herself?
Seeing that Song Lili was not speaking, Yang Mei assumed that she was embarrassed and also felt that it would be awkward to talk about such a thing.
He pretended to be angry and pushed Li Qinghua, saying, "Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and go! If you're late, the team leader will scold you and deduct your work points."
Li Qinghua's curiosity was completely dispelled by Yang Mei's words. He happily took Yang Mei's basket and walked forward with her.
Zhang Qinghua stood still, while Yang Tao had already followed Yang Mei. Song Fang hesitated, but Song Lili waved for her to go with Yang Tao.
In the end, only Song Lili and Zhang Qinghua remained, walking side by side behind the others.
Song Lili recalled everything she saw in her dream last night, and her heart trembled, yet a pang of pain made her rub her chest uncomfortably.
"I have something to tell you..."
