The night is getting darker, the lights in every house are gradually extinguished, and the entire land is shrouded in darkness.
Liu Tugen yawned greatly.
Zhao Youcai kicked him in disgust, "Be quiet!"
"Boss." Liu Tugen rubbed his sore buttocks aggrievedly, "There really will be something tonight. A thief is coming?”
In such a cold weather, it all takes courage and perseverance to go out.
If someone does come, it must be because the benefits are huge, big enough for people to overcome the severe cold at this time.
But this Lin Wang's house...
Not to mention the bare walls, at least it can be described as poor.
Do thieves really care about such a family?
I’m afraid I’m not blind...
"Just stay there, why are there so many words?" Zhao Youcai said, "My eyes are wide open. Don't take it lightly!"
"But it's really cold and sleepy. ..." Liu Tugen smiled playfully and only moved closer to Zhao Youcai. "But there must be something good here, boss. If you can reward a few of our brothers..."
"Gungungun, all day long, you know how to miss me, the bottom of the box, greedy Not so greedy!" Zhao Youcai was full of boredom.
"Why do you think the boss has a sister-in-law in pain? None of us care about it." Liu Tugen still didn't give up, "Boss, don't be stingy, just give us some of the delicious food your sister-in-law gave you. After eating this thing, my heart will naturally warm up, and I won't be afraid of the cold weather..."
"Yes, yes." Several others whispered in agreement.
Seeing that it was absolutely impossible not to miss a little bit of his fingers, Zhao Youcai reluctantly touched his arms, "Other people are raising brothers of life and death. I am raising a bunch of starving ghosts. I really don't know what I made." What a sin!"
After he finished complaining, Zhao Youcai only took out two sticks of dried meat.
“So few?” Liu Tugen was a little disappointed.
“Eat it if you like!” Zhao Youcai said as he put the dried meat back in his hand.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t…”
Liu Tugen hurriedly took it and said, "Thank you, boss."
Then he shared a point with the other brothers.
There were two sticks of dried meat, but there were six of them. They could only tear the dried meat into small pieces, and one person divided it into two small pieces.
After sharing the dried meat, several people couldn’t wait to stuff it into their mouths.
Dried meat has a strong flavor and is chewy, and the more you eat it, the better it tastes. It is perfect for grinding your teeth.
Everyone clucked their tongues and praised the delicious taste of the dried meat. At the same time, they chewed it repeatedly. For a moment, they were reluctant to swallow it. They just chewed it repeatedly in their mouths to absorb the taste.
But even so, the portion of the dried meat was too small. No matter how much I ate sparingly, I still swallowed it bit by bit.
Until everyone has eaten all the dried meat in their mouths, they are thinking about what they will do later to pass the long night, so that they can survive until the morning of the next day, and come and pick up smoothly. When Fang Linwang's people were handing over, there was a rustling movement in the darkness.
The footsteps came from far and near, and the sound was low but urgent. It was obvious that the person coming was moving very quickly and agilely.
It was this speed that caused the fabric of the clothes he was wearing to make a slight rustling sound when rubbed against it.
All these sounds fell in the ears of Zhao Youcai and others, making everyone excited.
It’s finally here!
This half of the night has been spent in vain, it’s time to stretch your muscles. Everyone was eager to give it a try. They could only wait to wave the sword in their hands and quickly kill these thieves who would not let even a poor person like Fang Linwang off.
Zhao Youcai signaled everyone to be calm, until the men in black, holding steel knives in their hands and trying to rush towards Fanglinwangyuan, ran all the way to him. Then he waved his hand vigorously.
"Go!"
Zhao Youcai gave the order, and Liu Tugen and others immediately jumped out, slashing straight at the men in black with the knives in their hands.
The men in black obviously did not expect that there would be an ambush here. After being stunned for a moment, they all raised their swords to resist.
The two groups of people suddenly fought together.
The six men led by Zhao Youcai are all good players in the entire brigade. They are quick and ruthless in their attacks and they cooperate with each other tacitly. In just a moment, half of the men in black were injured and they had the upper hand.
The man in black at the head saw that the situation was not good and shouted in a low voice, "Evacuate!"
Hearing this, the other people immediately dragged the injured person and evacuated quickly away.
When Liu Tugen saw this, he gave chase.
These people have average skills and only the same physical strength. If he were to catch them now, he would definitely be able to catch up with two of them.
After being on guard for so long, if I don’t get two heads now, I feel like I’m at a huge loss.
"Come back!" Zhao Youcai shouted.
"Boss, why don't you catch up and capture the two alive?" Liu Tugen was a little unwilling.
The men in black just now acted in a neat and orderly manner. They did not look like ordinary people who robbed houses. They must have been ordered to do this. If they were caught alive and interrogated, they might be able to seize the conditions. There’s a big fish!
"Don't chase after the poor enemy." Zhao Youcai said, "Our task is to protect this house, Lin Wang. If the other party intends to lure the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't we be fooled?"
The army is not tired of deception, this kind of Things are also common.
Liu Tugen and others had been in the army for a long time, so they naturally understood the reason. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they no longer chased those people. They only continued to return to the darkness and continued to guard Fang Linwang's house.
After the calm outside returned, Fang Linwang, who had been standing in the house and observing the situation outside through the gap in the door frame, closed the door tightly again and put the butcher knife in his hand back on the bedside.
There are always some bastards who don’t know what is good for them. They just think that he is a little old man who is living on his last breath and can be manipulated and bullied at will?
I don’t even think about it, why can he stand upright and challenge others?
How can you survive so long without any ideas or skills?
But this Lu Qiyan...
He is not stupid!
Not only is he not stupid, but he is also willing to send so many people to guard him, which is considered attentive and considerate.
It seems that this time he has to work hard to build a bridge over the Yongfeng River...
——
After a good night's sleep, Xia Mingyue and Lu got up early in the morning and started to pack up and prepare to go back.
The kitchen made a delicious but still light breakfast.
Bangzi noodles with pancakes, sticks with glutinous rice porridge, plus cold shredded cabbage, cold shredded radish and boiled eggs.
After breakfast, Su Yongfu hitched up the carriage and prepared to set off.
After dawn, Zhao Youcai told Liu Tugen to continue to guard at the door of Fang Linwang's house until the car that picked up Fang Linwang arrived and then come back together. He hurried back first and slowly, and Lu Qiyan Send one to Xia Mingyue and one to Lu.
Seeing Zhao Youcai running out of breath, Lu felt a little distressed and said, "You just need to be busy beforehand."
We are an old married couple, why do we still care about this? (End of this chapter)
