The villagers are accustomed to living a careful life. In order to save lamp oil, every family goes to bed early after having a late meal.
Lijia Village is at the foot of the mountain. In the dead of night, people in the village can hear a dog barking.
Li Qiusui didn't have much time to spare during the day, so he practiced his superpowers at night. Tonight, he finished washing up early and turned out the lights after going to bed.
The dogs on the mountain barked non-stop for a long time... Something happened on the mountain!
He touched the clothes, put them on and went outside.
It will be August and a half in a few days, and it has been sunny recently. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I saw Li Sanzhu and Liu Shiju running towards the gate, pulling on their shoes.
Zhao Da Zhouping has been spending the night in the mountains these days.
Li Qiu Sui chased him out. Using both his front and back legs, Li Changshan's three brothers also arrived.
"Mom, dad, brother!" Xia He panted, "Did something happen to our orchard?"
Li Sanzhu comforted his eldest daughter, "It's okay. You go with Suisui's family, and I'll take your brother to the mountains to have a look..."
Before Li Sanzhu finished speaking, there was a creak, and the wooden door of Mrs. Ma's house next door was opened from the inside.
Ma Wanzi put on some clothes, followed by his two brothers.
The man shouted before he even got close: "Sanzhu, the sound of dogs barking is coming from the top of your hill. What's going on? Let's go over and have a look!"
Li Sanzhu didn't care to talk to his eldest daughter anymore, "I was talking about taking my Shanzi over to have a look..."
"This dog is barking so loudly, it must be a bad guy in your orchard. Just wait, I will call the strong laborers in the village, and we will go up the mountain together. No matter which one is not smart, we will all help tonight. You take care of it!" Ma Wanzi said as he ran towards the village.
This area is relatively remote, close to the foot of the mountain. There are a few families living in this area. Most of the villagers in Lijia Village still live in the village.
"Then there is Fourth Brother Laoma!" Li Sanzhu said politely.
He didn't stop anyone. This is also a common rule in the village. If any family has trouble, everyone will help. Otherwise, if you just sit back and watch, no one will help you when it's your turn.
In this world, the village sticks together, the clan sticks together, and the whole family has to stick together.
While Li Sanzhu and Ma Wanderer were saying a few words, someone else opened the door of the house next door and came out.
Li Sanzhu whispered to Mrs. Liu to take her two girls home, "Shanzi and I went over to take a look. Changlei and Changan stayed at home with your mother and sister. Lock the door at home. I haven't come back, and no one can open the door if they come." .”
Li Qiu Sui saw that there were villagers gathering over there. They were vaguely blurry, and he could see that they were all holding something in their hands.
Li Erzhu and Li Sizhu lived on the edge of the village. One of them picked up a shovel and rushed here as soon as they heard the noise.
Li Erzhu ran straight to the mountain without stopping, "Third brother, what are you still worrying about? Hurry up and take a look at the mountain. Our father is still at home!"
Li Sanzhu followed him step by step. As soon as he moved, the strong laborers in the village ran up the mountain.
Li Qiusui stood next to her mother and sister, watching these people go up the mountain with Li Sanzhu.
Li Changlei originally wanted to follow him, but after taking a look at his mother and two younger sisters, Li Changan looked weak, and remembered his father's advice, "Mom, let's go home quickly. There will be no problem with the people on my father's side."
Mrs. Liu nodded and led her daughter. Her son bolted the door and sat there waiting for someone, which made people anxious, so she sent her children to rest.
When Li Qiu Sui returned to her room, she saw the barking of the dog on the mountain leading up to it, which caused the dogs in the village to bark too. After a lot of trouble, her father had not come back yet, so she was not sleepy anymore, so she ordered Cuiping to light an oil lamp.
The door was knocked, and the new house was completed. There was a concierge next to the door, and Xiao Shitou led Xiao Bao to live in it.
Xiao Shitou also wanted to follow up the mountain, but Li Sanzhu left him behind. He also heard what he said before leaving.
There was a knock on the door outside, and his heart suddenly rose. To be cautious, he kept silent.
As a result, the knocking on the door continued, and was also mixed with the voice of the old lady Ma next door. Now the dogs were no longer barking, and the night was particularly quiet. The old lady's voice was low, not high!
Xiao Shitou opened the crack of the door and said he could clearly see what was going on outside. He asked through the door: "Who is it?"
Xiao Shitou heard it right, and Mrs. Ma's voice became clearer when she spoke, "Yes, it's me, the old lady from Ma's house next door."
Shivering, what happened?
Xiao Shitou still didn't open the door, so he asked, "It's so late, what's the rush for you?"
Xiaobao got up when he heard the noise and saw the little stone talking to someone close to the crack of the door. This boy was very smart and quietly went to report to Li Qiusui.
This boy is young, but he is very articulate. "Girl, Mrs. Ma next door keeps knocking on our door, and something sounds wrong."
Nowadays, the newly built courtyard is a bit far away from the gate. Li Qiusui was thinking about things and really didn't pay special attention to the gate.
Three brothers from the Ma family went up the mountain with Li Sanzhu. If something happened to the family next door, they really couldn't ignore it.
When Xiao Shitou saw Li Qiusui, he called out "girl" in a breathy voice!
When Li Qiu Sui came closer, Xiao Shitou lowered his voice and said, "Something's not right outside. There may be someone around Mrs. Ma."
Nowadays, there are no gaps in the door, and the little stone is not sure. There are women in the house, and he dare not open the door for life and death.
"Yes, is it Xiaoshi? You, go and call Shan Ziniang. I have something to tell her in person..."
The old lady's tone of voice has changed. Something is obviously wrong. Most likely, the incident is going to her house.
Li Qiu Sui signaled Xiao Shitou to open the door quickly. As soon as the door opened, Old Mrs. Ma was pushed open, and several strong men were revealed behind them. One of them blocked the door with a slight push, revealing the knife in his arms, "Little girl, don't wait." Scared! We’re not hurting anyone, we’re just borrowing some money from your family. Don’t shout, and lead me to your adults. I’ll tell your adults about this.”
Old Mrs. Ma was pushed to the side. When she saw the door opened, she had no time to breathe and shouted bravely, "Shan, Shan Ziniang, he, they still have people, my brother Ma is still in their hands..."
I thought it was Mrs. Liu who opened the door.
Xiao Shitou and Xiao Bao stood in front of Li Qiu Sui. In front of them was the tall robber. Although they were trembling with fear, they did not take a step back.
Li Qiusui patted Xiaobao's shoulder and said, "Go and help Grandma Ma up."
Xiaobao listened to Li Qiusui's words the most, glanced at the people on the opposite side, and boldly slipped out.
He only held Mrs. Ma hostage to threaten people to open the door, and Xiaobao was just a little older. Sure enough, when Xiaobao went to help the old lady, no one even glanced at him.
Li Qiusui saw Old Mrs. Ma's appearance clearly and couldn't help frowning, "Since we are here for money, it is easy to discuss. We can't hurt anyone. Let's call all your people over first. There is no need for this matter, sir. My family All the money is in my hands."
