The door was shaking slightly.
As long as Fang Cheng exerts some force, he can push it open.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? Are you in the room?"
Fang Cheng's voice continued to come in, becoming more and more urgent.
It looked like everything was about to come to a dead end.
Qiao Anle said in a steady voice, "I'm here, what can I do for you?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm glad you're okay." Fang Cheng was obviously relieved when he heard Qiao Anle's voice. He explained, "Sister-in-law, someone saw the grain thief running towards this side. We are now checking every house. Close the doors and windows at home, and don't open the door unless you know someone."
Qiao Anle took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
"That's fine. I still have to go check the next one. You stay safe on your own."
Fang Cheng finally left.
The footsteps outside the door and the light of the torches gradually faded away.
…
inside the house.
The atmosphere was still tense and quiet.
The injured boy obviously didn't expect Qiao Anle to help cover him.
He stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't even feel the pain, his eyes were just wide open with dryness.
For a long, long time.
The young man spoke in a daze, "Thank you."
At this time, Qiao Anle had already made a choice and had made a decision in his heart.
She looked at the boy and whispered, "The people outside haven't gone far yet, you can't go out now."
The boy was stunned again, his eyes full of gratitude.
He spoke again dryly.
“Thank you…thank you…”
With mutual understanding, the situation in the room became slightly harmonious.
The three kids had been stuck under the quilt for too long and couldn't stand it any longer, so they secretly lifted a corner and peeked from under the quilt.
Qiao Anle simply patted their butts and asked them to stick their heads out.
The eldest and second cubs are older and have stronger psychological endurance, so Qiao Anle is still relieved.
Only the third child was afraid that he would be frightened by the blood-covered boy.
Qiao Anle simply held the third child in her arms, cradling his little head to prevent him from looking around.
The third child struggled, "Mom, is that brother still in our house?"
Qiao Anle hugged her little body tightly, "Don't move, be good and listen to me, I'll let you have a White Rabbit candy tomorrow."
The third child was once again strangled by fate.
The other side.
The eldest and second cubs had already seen the injured boy clearly.
The second cub’s face turned pale with fear, and he huddled together nervously with the eldest cub.
He trembled and said, "Mom, he...he is bleeding..."
The eldest boy's face didn't look very good either.
His dark eyes looked at Qiao Anle, "Mom, will that brother die?"
Qiao Anle held the third cub in one hand and touched the faces of the eldest and second cubs with the other hand.
She soothed him, "Don't be afraid, he won't die."
Although the boy's face was covered in blood, it was scary, but the bleeding had stopped, probably because the wound had stopped bleeding.
"Mom, did this brother do something wrong?"
"Well, he did something wrong."
"Mom, did his parents spank him? When I did something wrong, my dad spanked me, too."
"...I guess I got beaten."
"Mom, Dad said that if you get beaten, you should remember your mistakes and not make the same mistake again. Then you will still be a good child."
The eldest boy spoke clearly, word by word, slowly.
Qiao Anle paid attention to the three cubs and also carefully observed the injured boy in the corner.
When the boy heard what the older boy said, a look of shame could still be clearly seen on his dirty little face, and he gritted his teeth hard.
It seems that he still has a sense of shame.
