Occasionally, the sound of insects chirping could be heard in the air.
At the Yan family, after dinner, Old Man Yan told Yan Ning to lock the door of his room at night and not to go out.
Then everyone in the family went back to their rooms.
After more than ten minutes, Yan Guoshu also hurried back.
After entering the yard, lock the door from the inside.
Yan Ning lay on the kang, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Judging from the situation tonight, there might be a fierce battle in the back mountain, which may also affect the village at the foot of the mountain.
Maybe the spies will run towards the village when they are fleeing. If they go crazy with killing, the people they meet in the village will be in danger.
The last bit of light in the sky gradually disappeared, and night fell, covering the entire willow tree with a black cover.
It was pitch dark outside.
Yan Ning lay down for a while, then simply entered the space and picked all the ripe vegetables and fruits in the land.
There was still an acre of potatoes that had not been dug, and leaving them would take up space, so they were all dug up and stored in the warehouse.
A new batch of vegetables was planted on the vacant land.
After processing the vegetables, they go to harvest the grains, shelling the grains that need to be shelled and grinding the grains that need to be ground into flour.
After processing and classification, they are stored in the warehouse.
The vacant land is used to plant a batch of wheat, corn, and a few acres of peanuts.
The rice fields are all full of rice.
The farm collected all the eggs.
Yan Ning looked at the time, it was nine thirty-one.
She went directly to the bedroom on the second floor to rest.
Lying on the soft big bed, Yan Ning finally relaxed himself.
Just as she was dozing off, she suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the Yan family yard outside the space.
Yan Ning woke up immediately.
Who could it be so late?
Did someone climb over the wall or was there someone else in the yard?
Yan Ning's sixth sense told her that it must be a spy who escaped from the mountain.
The Yan family's courtyard is at the foot of the mountain. Although the wall is two and a half meters high, it is still very dangerous.
It can protect against wild beasts in the mountains, but it can’t protect against those skilled spies!
Take her for example, there are many ways she can climb over this wall.
Yan Ning left the space, tiptoed to the window, lifted a small corner of the curtain, and leaned over to look outside.
The window of her room faced the main entrance, and she had an unobstructed view of the yard.
There was no one in the yard at this time.
So what was that noise just now...
later!
After running down the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the man came directly to the back of the Yan family's yard and climbed over the wall from the back.
Yan Ning stood quietly in the room, listening to the noises around her.
If the man ran into the front yard, she would give him a tranquilizer shot.
If the man had been hiding in the backyard, he would have been lucky and escaped.
It is impossible to let her go out, her life is more important.
Yan Ning listened for a few minutes, and just when she thought she had just hallucinated.
There was another sound of faint footsteps in the backyard.
Her hearing has greatly improved since she drank the spiritual milk, allowing her to hear such a small sound that others might not be able to hear.
Yan Ning listened carefully to the noise outside, the footsteps were intermittent.
It seemed to be just outside her room.
The footsteps slowly appeared in the front yard.
Yan Ning looked into the yard through the gap in the curtains and saw a tall and thin figure pushing the doors and windows of the rooms on the right.
The first room belonged to Yan Guodong and was not pushed.
The figure walked to the second room and continued to push the doors and windows.
The door didn't open, but the window did.
The second room is where my third aunt Yan Shuhe and her family live. I must have forgotten to lock it when I left yesterday.
The figure didn't care whether there was anyone inside or not, and simply supported himself on the windowsill with both hands and tried to flip over and go in.
Yan Ning took out the anesthetic wooden canister from the space...
The next second, he put the anesthetic wooden warehouse into the space.
She forgot that the window was closed and would make a noise if she opened it.
She could only watch as the figure climbed into the room and closed the window.
Yan Ning was thinking about what to do next?
It was not until more than ten minutes later that someone knocked on the gate of the Yan family's courtyard.
“Boom boom boom… boom boom boom…”
No one in the room spoke.
“Boom boom boom… boom boom boom…”
The knocking on the door continued, and the person outside shouted:
"Captain Yan, I'm Zhou Lingye. I have something to discuss with you. Could you please open the door?"
Yan Ning felt that the man's voice sounded familiar.
Zhou Lingye?
The man surnamed Zhou, could he be the man I met in the mountains before?
After a few seconds, Yan Ning heard the sound of the door of the room outside being opened.
She looked towards the yard and saw Yan Guoshu coming out of the room, walking towards the gate with a flashlight in his hand.
She glanced at the second room on the right again. There was no movement, not even a sign of the curtains being lifted.
Yan Guoshu opened the gate of the yard and five or six people came in, all holding flashlights in their hands.
Yan Ning took a closer look at the man in the lead, and it was indeed the man he had met several times before.
Zhou Lingye glanced around the yard and said, "Captain Yan, two of the group escaped and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
Our people disappeared after they chased them. They must have hidden in the villagers' houses.
The most dangerous place right now is your yard, which is at the foot of the mountain. It is very likely to be the first choice of that group of people.
We are going to search the yard now. Did you hear anything in the room?"
When Yan Guoshu heard this, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat. His voice trembled.
"I didn't hear any movement. Captain Zhou, just go search!"
Zhou Lingye nodded to the people behind him.
The other five people quickly dispersed and searched every corner of the yard.
Zhou Lingye looked at Yan Guoshu and asked, "Captain Yan, are all the rooms in your house locked? Is there any place where someone might be hiding?"
Yan Guoshu thought for a moment, "The main rooms in front are all locked. Only the toilet and bathroom in the backyard might be hiding people."
Zhou Lingye walked around and looked around.
Yan Ning was in the room, observing the movements in the second room on the right.
The people in there are really patient.
Yan Ning was thinking about how to let Zhou Lingye and the others find out.
After a few minutes, a person who was searching in the backyard returned to the front yard and whispered something in Zhou Lingye's ear.
Yan Guoshu's face was filled with panic and his heart was beating rapidly.
Could it be that there really is someone hiding in his backyard?
Zhou Lingye walked towards the backyard, and Yan Guoshu followed.
When I came to the backyard near the corner of the utility room, I saw a few drops of blood on the ground.
The bloodstains haven't dried yet, it seems that they have just fallen.
Zhou Lingye looked at Yan Guoshu and said in a low voice, "Someone did climb in from here.
But the outer yard had been searched everywhere,
I didn't find the person, so I suspect he or she is hiding in a room in your house."
Yan Guoshu trembled all over, "Then...what should we do?"
