Don’t waste such a big bonfire. Put up a big pot and make a pot of boiled eggs. They taste good when cooked and can be used as midnight snacks and breakfast.
There were fifty in one pot, and I cooked three pots. I kept twenty, ate two, and stored the rest in space.
An hour passed quickly in the busyness. Nothing happened except the snoring and the crackling of burning firewood.
Xiao Ba got up on his own without being called. Gu Xinran gave him two boiled eggs as a midnight snack and a bag of melon seeds to kill time, and then went back to the carriage to sleep.
Gu Xinran was having a sweet dream when the shouting woke her up, as well as her grandmother and mother Gu. Only little Tingting was still sleeping soundly.

Xiao Ba rode his horse around and patrolled the area, but found no suspicious traces. The refugees had already escaped.
You can only blame yourself for your bad luck!
Fortunately, the things that were stolen were all in plain sight and could be easily taken. There were few of them and they did not dare to act recklessly.
