Chapter 112 Thunder in the Middle of the Night
"who?"
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the ear room in front, followed by the sound of children crying in fear.
These sounds instantly broke the silent night and woke everyone up from their sleep.
Lai Fu and Ding Gui, who were discussing matters, hurried towards the ear room.
Everyone was worried. Could it be that the desert soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the city?
"Cousin, I'm scared."
Ding Xiang was so frightened by the noise that she squeezed into Ding Xiaodie's arms. Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to hold her and coax her softly: "Shh, don't be afraid."
In fact, her heart was also in her throat, not knowing what was happening outside.
Over there, Ding Xue and Ding Mei were also huddled together.
"What's going on? I'm scared, cousin." Ding Mei's eyes were filled with tears.
"Aren't you afraid of me too? Shut up! If we attract those thieves, we'll be dead." Ding Xue was so scared that she spoke without thinking. It would have been better if she didn't say anything. Instead, she scared Ding Mei and made her sob.
As an older sister, she is not even as good as Dingxiang!
In the darkness, Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes, sat up and said, "Shut up, everyone! If anyone starts crying, I'll push them out."
“…”
Ding Mei was so scared that she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Ding Xue glanced sideways in their direction, but didn't dare to say anything!
Ding Xiaodie then said, "A Xiang, go stay with your sisters. I'll go out and take a look."
"Don't go, cousin." Ding Xiang reminded her worriedly, "It's better for us to stay in the house and don't move."
"Don't worry!"
Ding Xiaodie picked her up and carried her directly to Ding Mei and the others' bed, then she opened the door and walked out.
Ding Mei and Ding were dumbfounded by this scene. What's wrong with her? This little girl really thinks she is so great that she even goes out to take a look.
…
Although Ding Xiaodie was also afraid, she wanted to get to the bottom of things.
In the darkness, I arrived not far from the ear room. I saw men in the courtyard holding torches, surrounding a man. The man held his head and called out in a flattering tone: "Uncle, brother, big brother, I'm really desperate. I miss my wife and children, so I took the risk to come back to check. I don't know which room my wife and children are in, so I can only search one room at a time, so..."
"Bah!"
Before the men could say anything, a woman, twisting her waist, rushed out and spat at him: "How come you're looking for a wife and you're touching my bed? Shameless thing."
Miao Daxing's face was full of grievance: "Big sister, I told you I didn't know which room my wife was in, so I went to the wrong room!"
Everyone: “…”
The squatting man is Miao Daxing. I didn’t expect him to return to the town.
The woman who came out to spit at her was Ding Shun's wife Fang Cuihua.
Fang Cuihua was really unlucky. When she was hiding in the Lu family's basement, Ding Rong took advantage of her. Now, when she was sleeping in the same room with other women in the village, someone actually sneaked into the room and ran to her bed.
Don’t you think it’s unlucky?
Ding Shun was so unlucky that he felt like he was cheated on. Now he didn't even want to talk. He just squatted aside with his head in his arms, letting others do whatever they wanted. He had had enough.
Why can't I live a peaceful life just because I have a beautiful wife?
At this time, Miao Daxing's wife heard the noise and came out of the house with a group of children. After seeing that it was her man, she burst into tears.
When the kids saw their father, they burst into tears, and all the fear and worry they had felt in the past few days came pouring out.
In this situation, Lai Fu didn't know what to say!
When life is at its most difficult, it is too much if you still want to separate a family.
"Miao Daxing, now that you're back, live a good life with your wife and children. In the future, you must actively participate in all activities in our village. Only with your labor can we have food to eat. If you continue to be sneaky and cunning like before, the villagers of Aozigou will not tolerate you."
Lai Fu spoke in a deep voice, then waved to everyone and told Miao Daxing, "You will come live in our house in a while. There are not enough houses now, so the villagers live separately for men and women."
"Hey, thank you uncle." Miao Daxing excitedly hugged this child and pinched the little face of that child. Unconsciously, tears of heartache fell down.
Watching Village Chief Lai Fu and his father leave, Ding Xiaodie, who was standing in the dark, observed quietly for a while and chose to turn around and leave.
She did say that she didn't want to see Miao Daxing again, nor did she want him to return to Yangliu Town.
But now that they had experienced such a major event as the earthquake, and for the sake of his wife and children, Ding Xiaodie really couldn't bring herself to ask him to get out. After all, at a time like this, no matter how strong the woman in the family is, she still needs a backer.
So Ding Xiaodie could only choose to remain silent, and she couldn't even tell anyone that Miao Daxing had kidnapped her.
It's not that she is a saint, but she doesn't want to indirectly hurt those children who are waiting to be fed like little birds.
After returning to the house, Ding Xue and Ding Mei hurriedly asked, "What's going on outside?" "Are the desert soldiers coming?"
"If it were the Desert Soldiers, would you still have time to sit here and catch your breath?" Ding Xiaodie rolled her eyes. "It's Miao Daxing who's back!"
That night, perhaps because of the earthquake, several thunderbolts suddenly struck in the starry night sky.
The sound was very much like a 21st-century rain bomb.
Ding Xiaodie was startled awake.
It was very hot and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. She was worried about disturbing Dingxiang, so she didn't dare to move. After finally falling into a drowsy sleep, she was awakened by thunder.
For a moment, she didn't realize where she was when she heard the village chief shouting in the front yard: "Oh my God, it's thundering, please give us some rain! Even if it's just to water the seedlings or wet a patch of land, please give us a way to survive!"
Later, those who were awakened by the thunder rushed to the yard and knelt down to pray for rain. They raised their hands high, fearing that they would not catch the first drop of rain.
But we waited and waited until dawn, until the first ray of sunlight tore apart everyone's hope.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and finally drooped tiredly.
Why is it so strange that there is thunder but no rain? Is even God playing tricks on us?
"Dad, Mom, something's wrong. Those thunderclaps last night drove everyone crazy!"
Assuming that no one was paying attention, the three members of the Ding family quickly found a secluded place to talk in private.
Ding Gui frowned. "These people have lost all motivation to live. They just hope for rain when they hear thunder, but what good will it do? Even if a few drops of rain fall right now, nothing will grow in a short time."
"Yes, people have to have hope to survive." Zhang Xiu was also very worried, and her face was haggard now. She almost didn't sleep the whole night taking care of the old woman.
Two adults and a rabbit lying in one bed, can they sleep well?
After he finished speaking, he yawned loudly!
