When he went to bed at night, Ye Yutong learned that his mother and brothers had to take turns keeping vigil.
She went to the basement of the space to look for the box of instant coffee she bought before traveling, but she didn't know where it was buried. She rummaged through it for a long time and couldn't find it.
She was a little sleepy again and planned to come in again tomorrow. I brought some snacks and fruits for them to eat during the vigil.
Li Yunze also wanted to participate in the vigil, but his family members disagreed, saying that since he was in good health, he should not bother with it. It would not be too late to do it again when he was fully recovered.
I stayed there for two nights and everything was quiet.
On the third night, just after midnight, Li Wenxiu was sitting at the door drinking coffee.
This is the refreshing water that the girl and the god asked for. It tastes a little bitter and a little sweet, but the refreshing effect is great.
She was a little sleepy at first, but she felt much more energetic after drinking.
She looked at the moonlight and missed her child's father who had gone to join the army. She wondered where he was now. Is there anything to eat or drink? Is it dangerous?
Li Yunze opened his eyes, listened to the footsteps approaching from far away, immediately got up from the pile of straw, and opened the door.
Ye Mingxuan was also awakened by him and watched him take all the sticks in his hands.
He immediately pushed Ye Mingzhe awake and followed him out of the house.
Li Wenxiu heard the door open and looked at the three of them in surprise. She was about to ask them why they got up so early?
Before she could speak, Li Mingze whispered: "Mother-in-law, someone is coming this way."
He took a few steps forward and looked at the vague figures on the road through the fence.
Ye Mingxuan stood next to him, clenching the machete in his hand.
Li Wenxiu went back to the house and woke her daughter up, telling her to close the door and not come out. She also stood beside her son-in-law and son with a wooden stick.
Ye Yutong was sleeping soundly, and was still a little confused when she was woken up by the shout. When her mother told her to close the door, she knew someone was coming.
She took out the watermelon knife from the space and walked out of the room.
Ye Mingxuan and Li Yunze stood on both sides of the door, and Li Wenxiu and Ye Mingzhe stood behind them.
Seeing her coming out, several people waved to her, signaling her to go back to the house quickly.
Ye Yutong paused for a moment and then went back with the watermelon knife. However, she did not close the door and stood in the shadow of the door, preparing for a surprise attack.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Li Yunze made a three sign to Ye Mingxuan, and they both raised the weapons in their hands at the same time.
Li Wenxiu also heard footsteps outside and knew that they were definitely not refugees, but probably villagers who were familiar with their family.
But their house is bare, everyone knows this, so what are the intentions of these people coming to their house in the middle of the night? Is it just to steal something?
No, what was she thinking? My heart trembled.
What if her reputation is ruined? Then how can her children gain a foothold in the village if they cannot hold their heads up for the rest of their lives?
At that time, if we drag them to sell, who will speak for their family? Huh, what a vicious thought.
Who hates their family so much? Daejeon? Or those people from the old house? Or maybe it was a family in the village who had a grudge against them?
Li Wenxiu has no clue now, and now is not the time to be distracted by thinking about this. Let's take care of the people who came here first.
The door of their house is tied with wooden bars and can be opened easily.
The person outside the door fiddled with it twice, and the door creaked open.
Under the moonlight, three figures walked softly into the courtyard.
Li Yunze picked up the stick and hit the man in front of him on the back of the neck. The man passed out before he could make a sound!
The two people behind said "Ah" in shock and prepared to run away. How could Li Wenxiu let them go so easily?
As soon as the two of them turned around, Li Wenxiu, Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe took the guys and greeted them fiercely.
Ye Yutong also ran out with a watermelon knife, but she didn't kill anyone. She just held the knife and watched from the side. If her mother and brothers couldn't win, she would be the one to take the lead.
It is not a trivial matter for this watermelon knife to hit someone. There is no escape yet, and there is no chaos in the world. If someone is killed, their family will be in great trouble.
She can't make trouble now, and wait until these few days pass peacefully.
The other two thieves were beaten so hard that Li Yunze was afraid of waking up the villagers. He hit them on the back of the neck with a stick, and the two fell silent instantly.
After the three thieves were beaten to the ground, Li Yunze also fell to the ground, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Peace! What's wrong with you?"
"Brother-in-law! Are you okay?"
Several people gathered around anxiously, not caring about the three thieves lying on the ground.
Li Yunze waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter to me. Mother-in-law, eldest brother, deal with these three people first. When they wake up, we won't be able to cure them."
If he was not injured, it would be easy to deal with these three people, but he can't move now. There are either women or children at home.
These three men are so big. If they wake up and take precautions, these people in the family are no match for them.
Li Wenxiu was still thinking about how to deal with these three people. She had just seen their faces clearly.
Two of them are famous scoundrels in Yejia Village, and one is from the next village and is also a well-known bastard.
I don't even have an adult man in my family. If the three of them are sent to the government, what if they throw dirty water on themselves?
And her Tongtong is only nine years old this year. If she carries such a reputation, what chance does she have to survive?
If we let them go easily this time, then no one in their family will be able to come and go freely in the future. We need to find a way to solve this problem once and for all.
Ye Yutong took out a straw rope, pointed at the people on the ground and said:
"Mom, eldest brother, and second brother, tie up these three people first, gag their mouths with clothes, break their legs, and throw them into the big pit at the end of the village."
Everyone thought her idea was a good one. Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe tied the three people tightly with ropes, took off their coats and stuffed them into their mouths.
Ye Mingxuan picked up a wooden stick, looked at the three people carefully, then raised the wooden stick and hit one of them on the leg.
The man on the ground woke up in pain, whimpering and shrinking back.
Ye Mingxuan's expression didn't change at all, he broke his other leg again, and dealt with the other two thieves in the same way.
Not to be outdone, Ye Mingzhe took a thin willow stick and hit the three of them on their bodies and faces.
Li Wenxiu pulled out the family's cart, and several people worked together to lift the three thieves onto the cart, preparing to throw them into the pit.
Seeing that the three of them were still whining there, Ye Yutong was afraid that they would wake up the villagers later, so he imitated Li Yunze's technique and hit the three of them in the back with a stick.
But after being beaten several times, none of the three of them fainted, but instead whined louder.
She asked Li Yunze, "How did you knock them unconscious just now? Teach me."
Li Yunze thought she was venting her anger on the three people, but who knew she was going to knock them out.
He wanted to do it for her, but his body couldn't bear it, so he told her about the position and the strength of his attack.
