Chapter 219: Taking refuge in the middle of the night
At this time, Shen Yi's family was still sleeping. Suchuan stepped forward and pulled the wooden stake. After pulling it several times, the sound of the door opening could be heard from inside, but the outermost layer The door didn't move at all.
"Who?" Shen Yi's alert voice came out, and there was a faint growl of a dog, like a warning.
Suchuan hurriedly pressed against the door and whispered, "It's me, Suchuan."
Soon the courtyard door opened.
The three dogs rushed out and surrounded Suchuan, so scared that Suchuan did not dare to move.
Seeing that the person coming was really Suchuan, Shen Yi immediately asked the dog to back off and motioned for Suchuan and the others to go in.
The three of Su Chuan accompanied Ke Yunyun, her son, and Xiao Xi into the main room, and briefly explained the matter, "Brother-in-law, my father and I have to return to Dongmen Village before dawn. We cannot be exposed. Cousin Yunyun and the children, could you please take them in during this period?"
Shen Yi agreed without much thought.
Suchuan and Su Chunsen did not dare to stay, and left after explaining.
The courtyard door is closed.
Zhu Kangcheng in Xiao Xi’s arms opened his eyes and was about to cry out of fear.
Xiao Xi hurriedly comforted her, holding the child in her arms and rocking it.
Ke Yunyun looked at Shen Yi with some embarrassment, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly, "No, you guys rest in the main room for a while, I'll go to the backyard to call "Little moss."
When Shen Yi lit the candles in the main room, Ke Yunyun and the others also saw clearly the furnishings in the room.
There is a table and chairs in the center of the huge hall, with six armchairs on both sides, and four small coffee tables in between, which are obviously specially used to entertain guests.
There are two doors in the corners on both sides. There are two large ancient bookshelf on the wall, with many exquisite ornaments placed on them.
Shen Yi disappeared from behind the screen directly opposite the main door. Apparently there was another door over there.
Xiao Xi was amazed, "Girl, this house is so beautiful, and the ground, why are there so many colors!"
Ke Yunyun also had a surprised look on her face, "I don't know how, but it's better than the yard where we live."
The yard where they live is also paved with floor tiles, but it can't compare with the Shen family's. .
Even Zhu Kangcheng was staring at the ground and studying, very excited.
Su Tai came out sleepily wearing a coat. She happened to see this scene and thought she was dazzled, "Cousin, why are you here now?"
Ke Yunyun looked up hurriedly, She stood up and stepped forward, "Cousin."
Under Ke Yunyun and Xiao Xi's narration, Su Tai probably knew what happened to them.
"You are saying that the eldest son of the Zhu family is also going to the battlefield, and he cannot leave you and your children alone, so you are asked to take your children away from home? The uncle and his family have all been restored to good status, and they also have to perform military service?" Ke Yunyun is the only one. He nodded vigorously, with a bit of hesitation and helplessness in his eyes, "That's the thing. Uncle and his family are now well-educated. Naturally, they can't stay with me and take care of me like before. After all, they also have families. Xiao Xi and I take care of me." I didn’t know where to go for a while.
My cousin asked me to hide with you for a while and then leave secretly when I find a place to stay. If my cousin feels like it. It doesn’t matter if it’s inconvenient. My cousin will ask her brother-in-law to secretly send us across the river to Dahe Town tomorrow. It’s okay for us to rent a small yard there and stay temporarily.”
Su Tai shook her head seriously and sighed. "Where can a weak woman like you go with such a young child and a maid? As long as you show up, you will be noticed. Everyone knows everything about the situation in the ten miles and eight towns. Even if you go to Dahe Town, you won't be able to hide for long. If you If you don’t mind, you can stay here.”
"Cousin!" Ke Yunyun was moved to tears. Although she was very moved, she was afraid of causing trouble for Su Tai.
Su Tai understood her concerns and comforted her in turn: "Our home is much bigger than what you see now. Hiding the three of you is not a problem. Plus, I have children at home who are playing around. Even if the movement is heard, no one will find it strange. In addition, there is a family in front of my house, and no one lives in other places, so it will be safer.
You go to the wing to rest first, and I will wait for dawn. I’ll take you around again and you can choose a place to stay.”
Ke Yunyun was so excited that she burst into tears. She hugged Zhu Kangcheng and asked him to thank Su Tai too.
Su Tai glanced at her angrily, "Why are you being polite to me? After all, I have to thank you! My father has always felt ashamed of his uncle. If it weren't for your uncle's family, they wouldn't be able to restore their good status. , you solved his biggest worry, I should thank you."
As she said that, she led Ke Yunyun and the others into the backyard, and pushed open the largest wing opposite the bedroom, "This is it. Each room has a large bed and a soft couch. The big bed can sleep four adults, and the soft couch can sleep two people. You can stay here temporarily. If you find it inconvenient, you can also clear out the room next door. "
Ke Yunyun quickly refused, "Cousin, the three of us can live here. Don't worry about it. You go and rest first. We'll talk about it when it gets daylight."
Su Tai nodded, "Then. Okay, we have everything in the house. Your brother-in-law will go next door to make Guokui soon. Don’t be surprised if you hear any noise.”
She explained the matter clearly and closed the door and left.
Xiao Xi quickly put down the baggage and ran to make Ke Yunyun's bed. The quilt shook and she exclaimed several times, "Girl, it's so warm and comfortable in this life. Please touch it."
Ke Yunyun stepped forward and tried it on, her pupils dilated, "It's true! It seems to be the material that my cousin gave me to make clothes before."
Xiao Xi couldn't help but gasped, "The Shen family is really rich. Use such good materials to make quilts! If Mrs. Shen is willing to take us in, we will have something to rely on."
Xiao Xi was very excited.
Ke Yunyun smiled bitterly, "Since I left the ice field, my cousin has helped me a lot, and now I have to trouble her to take her in. I really don't know how to repay her!"
Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment and said firmly: "Don't worry, girl, I will work hard to repay Mrs. Shen."
At the same time, Su Tai also told Shen Yi about her mother's family's situation.
“Yunyun and the child will most likely be hiding in our house. My cousin is secretive and has a well-planned plan. As long as Yunyun and the child are not exposed, they should be fine.”
Shen Yi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I feel relieved to have them accompanying you and your children, but they really can't be exposed like this in front of others. Tomorrow I will tidy up the house in the cellar and let them live in that yard."
The yard where the cellar is located is about two acres in size. The cellar occupies one acre of land, with one underground floor and one floor above. The other acre is turned into a yard, which is made of red bricks and the ground is paved. The highly absorbent red floor tiles, the walls of the house are painted white, and the furniture is neatly arranged behind it. It can be said that this is the best yard of the Shen family.
Originally, Shen Yi prepared this yard for his daughter, but now it is put to use in advance.
