After the family of three finished drinking the water, since Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli had already taken a nap and were not very sleepy at this time, they simply got up.
Madam Feng continued to sew clothes while Feng Jiuli played with Huahua.
Feng Jiuyan closed her eyes, sank her consciousness into the space, and continued reading the medical book.
About half an hour later, Huahua's hair stood on end, and she stared at the door fiercely, calling out, "Awoo, awoo—"
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyan immediately stood up, quietly opened the door a little, and looked out. Madam Feng put down the things in her hands, hugged Feng Jiuli, and looked out nervously.
"Squeak~" the gate of the courtyard was opened.
Then a young man walked in.
He walked towards the east wing stealthily, looking around.
Feng Jiuyan gently closed the door and walked back to the small round table. Looking at his nervous mother and brother, Feng Jiuyan lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming in, let's pretend to faint!"
Feng Jiuli is more capable of handling things.
As soon as Feng Jiuyan finished speaking, Feng Jiuli immediately closed her eyes and lay down on the ground. When Huahua saw Feng Jiuli pretending to faint, she also lay down beside Feng Jiuli without hesitation and closed her eyes.
Feng Jiuyan: “…” Good boy, you have a bright future!
Madam Feng: “…” You are really bold!
Seeing this, Madam Feng was unwilling to lag behind, so she stood up, walked to the bed, turned around and lay on the bed, with her feet on the ground and her upper body lying on the bed.
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
Her family is full of talented people, all of them are movie queens and movie kings!
Seeing the footsteps approaching, Feng Jiuyan no longer hesitated and lay down on the table nearby.
He was lying all over the place, and it was obvious that he had been drugged.
"Squeak~~~"
The young man quietly approached the east wing, wet his finger with saliva, poked a hole, and observed the person inside through the small hole.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three members of the family in the east wing lying in a mess.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the person inside had fainted.
In order to make sure that the three people inside had indeed fainted, the young man deliberately kicked the door several times.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Squinting his eyes, he looked inside through the small hole. The three people inside were lying there motionless.
The young man smiled with satisfaction and said to himself, "Hey, the village chief is really as good as a god! Now we can all rest assured!"
After saying that, the young man turned around and left.
Feng Jiuyan noticed that the young man had left, so she stood up immediately, opened a crack in the window and looked out. She saw the young man walking briskly towards the west wing.
After a while, the young man walked to the gate with a smile on his face, humming a little tune, and walking briskly.
He pulled out a large iron chain and a large lock from his sleeve, put the iron chain on the door bolt, and locked it with the lock. Finally, he walked towards the cowshed in the backyard.
Feng Jiuyan estimated that the man had climbed away from the backyard.
Turning around, he looked at the two people and the cat who were still pretending to be unconscious, "Hurry up and get up. You don't have to pretend anymore. Everyone has left."
Hearing this, the two people and the cat quickly got up from the ground smoothly.
They walked to Feng Jiuyan's side, opened the door, and saw that the gate to the courtyard was locked. Just as they were about to discuss a few words, they suddenly heard a hurried sound of footsteps.
Suddenly, Feng Jiuli and Madam Feng were startled, and quickly ran back to where they were and pretended to faint.
The action was so swift that Feng Jiuyan had no time to say anything to stop it.
"Sister Feng, Sister Feng~~" Song Ning knocked on the door. "It's me, An Ning, please open the door quickly, we have something to tell you."
Feng Jiuyan opened the door, and Feng Jiuli and Madam Feng were suddenly exposed to the sight of Song Chen and his sister. When the mother and son heard that the visitors were the Song siblings, they stood up and looked at them embarrassedly.
Song Ning was surprised and asked hesitantly, "Sister Feng, are they... pretending to faint?"
Feng Jiuyan shook his head and smiled, "They thought you two were the bad guys who came back from the past, so you pretended to faint immediately."
Song Ning applauded and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Aunt Feng and brother A Li's acting was so realistic. I admire them!"
To be honest, they didn't think about it that much. After drinking the water, she and her brother went back to their own resting places. She lay on the bed and her brother slept on the chaise longue beside her.
However, when the bad guys made the noise, the brother and sister pretended not to hear it, closed their eyes and continued to sleep.
Now seeing Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli pretending to be unconscious, one lying on the bed, and the other and the cat lying on the ground, it was impossible for the bad guys to be suspicious.
She was extremely grateful that the bad guys didn't notice anything, otherwise they would have held Sister Feng back.
Feng Jiuyan welcomed the brother and sister into the side room and closed the door.
Song Ning couldn't help but grab Feng Jiuyan's hand, his expression excited, "Sister Feng, my brother and I went to investigate just now. The bad man who came in just now tied the door with an iron chain, and then he climbed over the wall of the cowshed in the backyard and left.
My brother and I felt a little surprised because Li Taohua and her family of three came back to the yard and locked the door from the inside. Didn’t that mean they were locked in?
We felt something was strange, so my brother and I sneaked to Li Taohua's room, but found that Li Taohua and Huang Er were not at home at all.
Then, we also checked Huang Fei's residence, but he was not in the wing room either. Later, we simply checked the entire yard and found that there were only our two families here!
My brother and I speculated that the villagers of Huawu Village locked us here on purpose! In that case, they must have poisoned the water in the well, so when we pretended to faint, they didn’t find it strange at all! "
Feng Jiuyan looked at Song Ning with appreciation, and said half-truthfully, "You guessed right! When I went to the village well to fetch water with a bucket, I encountered all kinds of obstacles. So I guess the water was drugged.
So, they told you to pretend to faint after drinking the water. Now, they were worried that if we fainted after drinking the water, someone might ask us to attend the banquet in the evening, and if they found us fainted, they might alert the enemy.
So, they might as well send someone to confirm that we were all unconscious, and then have them lock the yard from the inside. Then they only need to find another excuse to fool us about why we won’t attend the dinner.”
Song Ning couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms, "These people are so vicious! Well, we don't have to attend the dinner. There will be so many people in the exile team, they probably won't have time to pay attention to us! We can just run away then!"
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
That won’t do, she has something important to do!
