In the Wu family yard, four teams of people are constantly patrolling, checking the traps at various locations. If anything is found to be wrong, they can make timely remedies or adjustments. The third child's arm is much better, at least he has adapted. Although It's still a bit awkward, but it's no longer a hindrance. The fourth child's headache has improved a lot with the soothing of Yunling Pills and strong alcohol. There is only a slight throbbing sometimes, but it's not serious anymore.
The old man sat with his head on the ridge in the middle, looking at the environment around the Wu family, paying attention to every move. When he found something was wrong, he picked up his rifle and looked carefully through the telescope on the rifle. The entire Wu family was now on tight guard.
In the Wu family hall, I sat on the cotton mat in the middle with Er Hei in my arms. There was a fire dragon burning in the room, and there was a wall of fire. The temperature was not low, not cold at all. It was so warm that I dozed off, holding Er Hei. Hei's head was growing little by little, and the saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth onto Er Hei's head. Er Hei was so energetic that he kept looking at the door.
In a small courtyard three streets away from the Wu family, there lived a family surnamed Liu, a family of five. The old couple, the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the younger son. The eldest son just married his wife last year. It was a harmonious family. , a group of uninvited guests were welcomed tonight.
"Third Elder, we are under control." A man in black robe came out of the woodshed, walked into the north room, and said to the Third Elder who was sitting on the fire bed.
"That's good, Gui Lie, I have to make it clear to them. As long as they don't cause trouble and cooperate with us, there will be no danger for their lives. When we leave, we will give them a sum of money." The third elder sat on the fire kang and sat down. Standing on her legs, she pulled out a copper pipe from her lower back, took off her black robe hat, and a gray-haired old woman lit a candlestick on the small table, filled the pipe pot with smoke, got close to the candlestick, and started to smoke. smokes.
"Yes, Third Elder." When Gui Lie heard what the Third Elder said, he turned around and left the hut and went to the woodshed to convey the Third Elder's words.
On the roof of the north house of the small courtyard, leaning on the top of Fangshan Mountain to the north, the fourth elder held a monocular telescope and was looking at the Wu family not far away. The Wu family was brightly lit, and everything was illuminated by lights and torches. In this small forest town, the Wu family is the most conspicuous tonight.
In the courtyard of the small courtyard, there are also different men in black robes hiding on some firewood piles and relatively high walls. If there is any trouble, they will be discovered, guarding this originally simple small courtyard like an iron barrel.
Not long after, the first elder and the second elder also arrived at the small courtyard one after another, and entered the north room to join the third elder and the fourth elder.
"Where's Gui Lie?" As soon as the first elder came in, he saw the third elder puffing away smoke, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"Hey... I went to do some work. I'll be back in a moment." The third elder took a puff of cigarette and then said slowly with narrowed eyes.
In the firewood shed in the small yard, a family of five were sitting on the firewood and haystacks, with their hands tied behind their backs, looking at the man in black robes squatting in front of them in horror.
"Don't be afraid. We need to temporarily stay at your house for one night. As long as you cooperate and don't make any noise, we will give you a sum of money when we leave. Nod if you agree." Gui Lie looked at the old man who was still a little shocked. Liu Tou tried his best to keep his tone calm and not to bring fear to the other party.
"Wuwuwu..." The old man's mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth, and he could only whine, nodding in agreement.
"Okay, remember not to speak loudly." Gui Lie saw Old Liu Tou agree, squatted forward, and removed the rag from Old Liu Tou's mouth so that Old Liu Tou could communicate with him.
"Uncle, my family is just a common people, we have no money, take whatever you like, just don't hurt my family." Old Liu Tou did not dare to speak loudly, and lowered his voice and said to Gui Lie .
This gang of people broke in while the family was still dreaming. They were gagged and tied up before the family could react. They kept them in the woodshed. Now it's not easy for someone to question them, Old Liu. Of course I thought they were bandits or robbers.
"Don't be afraid. If I don't hurt you, I just need to use your house. I will give you money after using it." Gui Lie secretly laughed in his heart. He was treating them as bandits. He didn't even think about how bandits could still give him money. If they had the chance to speak, they would have already sent a knife to their family to reunite, and give them money? Dreaming.
"Uncle, money doesn't matter, just use it and don't hurt my family." Old Liu Tou doesn't care about money now, as long as the family can be fine.
"Okay, as long as you don't make any noise or cause trouble, just stay here quietly. Your family will not be in danger." Gui Lie knew that the family was already panicking and wanted them to really run away and not make any noise. Intimidation and inducement are of little use, the only thing they can do is ask people to watch them.
"Okay..., let's not make a sound, we must not make a sound." Old Liu Tou nodded desperately, fearing that he would nod too slowly and let the man in black robe misunderstand that he was not cooperating, which would bring consequences to himself and his family. A fatal disaster.
Gui Lie looked at the family, stood up silently, walked out of the woodshed, and closed the door.
"Keep an eye on them. As long as they don't make any noise, don't go in. If they look for trouble, they'll all be killed." Gui Lie said at the door to the man in black robe standing beside the door. The five people in the room heard it.
"Yes..." The man in black robe standing at the door bowed and promised. The man in black robe understood very well that Gui Lie's words were meant for the people inside, and he was just a tool to answer the promise.
Gui Lie left the woodshed with his front legs, and the black-robed man quietly disappeared with his back legs. As for leaving someone to guard him? What a joke, the five people inside were all scared out of their wits. Don’t even dare to say it, even if you cough loudly.
In the north room of Liu's courtyard, the eldest elder sat in front of a round table, and the second elder sat opposite him. There was a tea tray on the round table between them. Half of the tea tray was filled with prepared dried fruits instead of tea sets. The other half contained soft black meatballs and some dried meat, which the three spirit beasts gathered around the tea tray and kept stuffing them into their mouths.
"The Wu family's security is tight enough. The whole house is brightly lit, so forget about the breeze. Unless the Wu family can be dragged into the Yin and Yang Realm, the ghosts will be dead and we can only rely on ourselves." The fourth elder opened the door and came in. He has been observing the Wu family outside to see if there are any weak points in the Wu family that can be broken through, but after looking around, he can't find any at all. The Wu family is made like an iron barrel, and the lights are brightly lit. You can see a lot of torches floating around. It's so popular that you will be noticed as soon as the breeze appears.
"There is no Yin and Yang Realm in this place. If there was a Yin and Yang Realm, we would still have to go far to adjust the breeze in the hall. With the flag of the Ha family here, in this Yin and Yang Realm of white mountains and black waters, who dares not to give three cents thin noodles." The third elder sat cross-legged. Smoking a pipe on the fire bed, he rolled his eyes and choked when he heard the fourth elder mentioning the Yin and Yang Realm.
