Shen Jiaojiao was already feeling a little difficult to breathe, and the force with which He Lai Di pinched her chin was not small, so the pain made her a little more awake.
He snatched the water bag from He Lai Di's hand, took a big gulp of water, and then swallowed the biscuit stuck in his throat.
"Cough cough cough~"
"Oh my god, Shen Jiaojiao~~you are such a waste of water!"
He Lai Di came back to her senses, snatched back the water bag, hugged it distressedly, and looked at Shen Jiaojiao with strong condemnation in her eyes.
Shen Jiaojiao covered her chest and looked at He Lai Di in shock, "Second sister-in-law, isn't it just a little water? Can this little water be as important as me?"
Because my throat was stuck just now, my voice is a little hoarse now.
Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law looked shocked and looked at her up and down with squinting eyes, "Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"If you were gone, we could save a lot of water and food, but if we lose the water, our family wouldn't be able to survive for a few days."
Shen Jiaojiao choked, and she didn't know if it was because she was holding it in or because she was embarrassed. What's wrong with this second sister-in-law now?
Looking at Shen Dajiang with a face full of grievance, "Dad..."
Shen Dajiang's eyes were heavy. "Jiaojiao, your second sister-in-law is right. You shouldn't waste water like this."
Tears welled up in Shen Jiaojiao's already red eyes, and she lowered her head and stopped talking.
He Lai Di curled the corners of her lips. This sister-in-law still can't see the situation clearly. She will suffer a great loss!
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and picked up her whole grain pancake and ate it again. No one could see the darkness in her eyes.
The farce here did not attract the attention of the neighbors in the same yard, because the whole team had quarreled many times about water-related issues, and it was not surprising that the old Shen family was making such a fuss now.
At midnight, a dagger quietly pried open the gate of the courtyard.
A few people tiptoed into the yard and looked around. There were only a cart and two cows in the yard. After making a gesture, they walked towards several rooms with a small amount of intoxicating smoke in their hands.
There were also people on night watch in the team, but this yard happened to be within their blind spot, and neither family in the yard left their own family members to watch, which led to no one noticing this scene.
Yang Chunyan was half asleep when she heard some noise outside the yard. She suddenly opened her eyes and woke up the old man beside her.
"Wake up, there's a thief!"
When the old man heard this, he subconsciously slapped his eldest son beside him to wake him up.
"ah!"
The sound startled the man who was blowing smoke outside their house, and he immediately inhaled most of the smoke in his hand.
“!”
When the people in Old Shen's family heard the sound, they all woke up. Smoke had been blown into their house, and a group of people inhaled the smoke without knowing it.
He Lai Di walked around the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her food and water were still there. Then she felt a little dizzy. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she quickly went to open the door.
"Quick, come out, something's wrong in the room!"
Shen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, without a trace of confusion in them, but pretended to have just woken up. She wore a mask on her face and got up in a hurry.
Hearing the noise in the room, more than a dozen refugees rushed in from outside the yard and tried to untie the ropes that tied the cows. A group of refugees dragged the two cows out of the yard.
"What are you doing? Come quickly, there's a thief~"
As soon as He Lai Di walked out of the yard, she saw her cow being dragged by someone. It was almost to the gate of the yard. She was about to run over but was stopped.
A man rushed out from the side and punched her in the abdomen. She shrank to the ground like a shrimp.
"Hmm~"
She curled up on the ground, looking at the old Shen family who rushed out, her eyes full of anxiety. Hurry up, the cow can't be lost!
Shen Dajiang, Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong rushed out, and a few more people came to block their way. In addition, they had just inhaled the smoke, so they were all stopped.
"Jiaojiao, hurry up, we can't lose the cow!"
"Dad, Jiaojiao knows, I will...ah!"
When Shen Jiaojiao heard this, she tripped when she stepped over the threshold.
Shen Changyou in the room also came out with a wooden stick in his hand. He didn't react in time and was tripped by Shen Jiaojiao who fell to the ground.
He fell directly on Shen Jiaojiao, and the stick in his hand hit her head.
"ah!"
The successive blows made Shen Jiaojiao roll her eyes and faint completely.
On the other side, Yang Chunyan's family was larger and had already rushed to the gate of the yard.
Although they did not inhale the smoke, there were too many refugees entering the yard and they were unable to do anything about them for a while.
At this moment, Shen Changyou dragged out two big knives with great effort and gave them to the people who were fighting with the refugees at the gate of the courtyard.
There were too many refugees, and everyone in the yard was injured to varying degrees. One refugee saw Shen Changyou's actions and slapped him away.
"ah!"
"Ayou~"
When He Lai Di saw this scene, she immediately got up from the ground, endured the pain in her abdomen, and went to another room to get a knife.
"Puff~"
The sound of the knife entering the flesh made everyone quiet for a moment. The other two Shen family members who were holding knives reacted and raised their swords.
But at this time, the cow had already been pulled out the door, and I don’t know if the other people in the team heard it or why they didn’t come over for so long.
The battle in the yard was very fierce, and both sides showed no mercy. Fortunately, the refugees were holding sticks. If they had been holding knives, the people in the yard would have fallen down long ago.
Many refugees took advantage of the situation and rushed into the house to steal the food.
It took a cup of tea to see the cows being taken away, and He Lai Di's hands were completely exhausted. At this time, the Sanli Village team finally arrived with torches in hand.
A dozen refugees in the yard heard the noise and ran away in a hurry. They had gotten a lot of good things tonight, which was enough for them.
When they came over, the two families were sitting in the yard with their heads down, looking as if they wanted to cry but had no tears.
Shen Liubai, who was in the lead, watched this scene and coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
It’s not that they don’t want to come, but what if they come and their yard is robbed?
In the end, we thought that we were all in the same team, so we dragged it out and gathered more than ten people from here and there.
Seeing the people sitting in the yard, the wounds on their faces looked very serious under the light of the torches. Shen Changfeng and Shen Dajiang's faces were covered in blood, and no one knew where they were injured.
Especially since both of them were lying on the ground with pale faces, they looked like they would not live long.
"Hurry up and help me take care of the wound. We have to travel tomorrow!"
“That’s not right, there are wrong number of people in this yard, Shen Jiaojiao and Shen Changyou are not here!”
