196: The Night Watch
"Daddy!"
"Daddy, you're not there...... Huh!"
Wu Xiaohua seemed to be choked by the throat, and looked at the man who was as beautiful and terrifying as a fairy standing in the flowers.
Wu Xiaoshu, who was behind her, cautiously watched left and right, and found no suspicious people, but inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
Wu Xiaoshu looked at the coat that was draped, and it was clearly hanging straight down from home clothes, as if it had been dyed cold overnight, "Mr. Jia, have you seen any suspicious people?"
Garan hadn't replied.
Wu's father's voice came, "In the middle of the night, I heard Xiaohua crying wolf, what happened?"
Looking at the place where the sound came from, Wu's father, who was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, walked over with a flashlight.
Wu Xiaoshu was obviously relieved to see him, and wanted to say something and closed his mouth when he saw Jialan.
Father Wu also looked at Garan.
Garan's face turned even colder.
The darkness of the night couldn't hold his cold white complexion, and the chill could be felt from a distance.
Wu Xiaohua's feelings are the most sensitive, "He seems to be angry." ”
When the bathroom door opened, Jia Ying, who had changed into comfortable home clothes, walked out, and the three members of the Wu family realized the reason why their brother was unhappy.
My sister was taking a shower, and a group of people were surrounding the outside of the bathroom.
Although they are still a little distance from the bathroom, they can't even hear the sound of water, let alone peek into other people's sisters.
Jia Ying didn't seem to feel the atmosphere of the scene, and shouted at Jia Lan.
Garan walks out of the flowers.
Kahoru asked, "How do you get there?"
Garan walked in front of her and opened her hand, wrapped in a leaf, and as the hand opened the leaf and unfolded, a dozen fireflies flew out.
While guarding the door for his sister, he caught fireflies and planned to make his sister happy, but someone ran to his sister's bathing place to disturb him, could he be angry.
Jia Hotaru looked at the fireflies flying slowly in surprise, and when she saw Jia Lan pursing her lips slightly, she smiled, "It's beautiful." ”
Seeing her smile and being recognized, Garan felt better, and said in a low voice, "It could have been better." ”
"Next time, then. Jia Ying plucked the leaf in his hand and patted it, and after taking it, he said to Wu's father, "Let's go to sleep first." ”
"Good. Father Wu replied.
The Wu Xiaohua brothers and sisters quickly came to Wu's father's side, and saw the figures of Jia Ying and the two disappear around the corner, and after a few minutes, Wu's father asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Xiaoshu said solemnly: "The people who came this time are more difficult to deal with than usual, Xiaohua and I were transferred away from the mountain, and a few powerful people took advantage of our entanglement and ran here to take hostages." ”
Wu Xiaohua patted her chest, "I thought my dad was going to be scared to death." After speaking, she was glared at by Father Wu, she was completely immune, and wondered: "My brother and I obviously saw people coming this way, running very fast, how could they be gone." ”
Father Wu looked at Wu Xiaoshu, "Are you sure you're coming this way?"
Wu Xiaoshu solemnly: "Hmm." ”
The father and son saw each other's eyes in surprise, and Wu's father said, "Look for it." ”
Wu Xiaohua: "Huh?"
Middle room on the second floor.
Hotaru lay down on the bed and casually asked Garan, "Those people?"
Garan: "Dizzy." ”
In the presence of his sister, someone has always been measured, and the image in my sister's heart is very important, and I don't want my sister to smell blood at that time.
Garan pulled a thin quilt over her waist and abdomen.
Hotaru: "Oh. ”
"Sleep. Garan lowered her head and kissed her on the forehead, "Good night." ”
Kahotaru smiled and looked up to give him one, "Good night." ”
That's the end of the topic.
A few minutes later.
The three members of the Wu family found the person they were looking for somewhere.
The unconscious did not deliberately hide.
They didn't see it when they came before, because they didn't expect the other party to lie in the grass with such a big thorn, and their minds were on a more vigilant place.
The experienced Wu father inspected several people and the surrounding environment, and "was knocked down almost without any signs of struggle." ”
Wu Xiaoshu, Wu Xiaohua: "......"
At that time, who else was left in the Wu family besides Wu's father?
The answer is obvious.
Wu Xiaoshu whispered: "I can't beat them head-on." ”
Wu Xiaohua didn't speak.
Father Wu sighed.
The three of them were silent and frightened in the cool breeze.
So what did they just pretend to hide in the eyes of the two siblings...... Shame on you!
Father Wu: "Arrest people first." ”
This busy was busy until what time in the morning, and Father Wu passed by the middle guest room on the second floor and subconsciously slowed down, and never pushed the window tightly to see inside.
The man in the dark blue pajamas sat at the head of the bed, holding a fan in his hand and gently fanning the people sleeping inside.
Because he was in the way, Father Wu could only see the undulating quilt inside.
Then the man looked sideways at him.
Father Wu nodded silently and left.
In the morning, before it was completely light, Kahoru woke up and heard the sound below.
After receiving water and washing and changing clothes with Jialan, I went downstairs and saw Wu Xiaohua who was watering the yard with a bun in her mouth.
Wu Xiaohua, who was worried about her dreams, suddenly refreshed herself and shouted at Jia Ying, "Morning." ”
Hotaru: "Early." ”
Wu Xiaohua dropped the water pipe, "I'll take you to dinner." ”
In fact, there is no need for Wu Xiaohua to lead the way, the dining table is in the hall on the first floor facing the courtyard, and you can see it when you walk downstairs.
Father Wu and Wu Xiaoshu were also there, and when they saw the two of them coming, they beckoned them to sit down together.
The Wu family obviously doesn't have so many rules when eating, and chatting and talking about homely things during meals.
When breakfast was almost over, Father Wu suddenly said, "Thank you for last night." ”
Wu Xiaoshu and Wu Xiaohua then fell silent.
Jia Ying looked at him, did not answer, and told Father Wu with an attitude that she did not have to know their secrets, even if Father Wu didn't say anything, they would act as if nothing had happened.
Father Wu received this message and continued without hesitation: "Ping'an Town is remote, and there are very few outsiders who know about it, and occasionally people come mainly for bandits. ”
"We got the news that there was such a group of outsiders before, Xiaohua and I wanted to intercept people in the car, but as soon as we got in touch with you, we knew that we recognized the wrong person. ”
Ping'an Town is located in a remote location, and even if there is a train, not many people will come on weekdays.
Yesterday, Father Wu did not buy a ticket to the same carriage with Jia Ying and them by such a coincidence, but noticed them early in the morning and arrived at a carriage for a closer look.
When I went to get food for Wu Xiaohua, I actually found that Jia Ying and they were not like the target this time, so I went outside to continue to investigate.
It wasn't until I returned home and saw Wu Xiaoshu that I knew that the news was behind, and that group of people had arrived in Ping'an Town.
"My group has lived in Ping'an Town for generations, and as the outer wall of Wuming Village, they are called night watchmen outside. ”
After Father Wu finished saying this, he paused for a moment.
Wu Xiaoshu answered: "Last night's information was wrong, and there were more people than expected and difficult. If it weren't for your help, we'd be in trouble this time. ”
He stood up and bent over the two of them, "Thank you." ”
Wu Xiaohua also shouted: "You will be my good friends in the future, if you need my help, just look for me." ”
The thing was done by Garan, and Garan thanked them noncommittally, and Garu accepted it calmly.
Wait for Wu Xiaoshu to sit down again.
Jia Yingcai said to Father Wu: "Thank you and thank you, you can not say this." ”
Seeing that Jia Ying and they were thanked, Father Wu became more comfortable, and said with a smile, "We don't say it, with your ability, you will know sooner or later, not to mention the next road, I will take you away." ”
The main thing is to pretend to be mysterious and taste what it means to be embarrassed and ashamed last night, and it makes no sense to continue to hide it.
Kahotaru: "What's next?"
Father Wu looked at them deeply and said softly, "The night watchman is guarding the outer wall of Wuming Village, and there is also a grave keeper in Wuming Village. ”
Jia Ying's eyes flickered, and he looked at Father Wu, knowing in his heart.
"That's troublesome. ”
"No hassle. ”
......
Wu Xiaoshu was left in Ping'an Town, and Wu's father rode a motorcycle tricycle to take Jia Ying and Wu Xiaohua out.
The car was forced to stop at the corner of the village after running for a while, and the car in front of it could not run.
Father Wu beckoned the three of them to get out of the car.
After walking for about half an hour, I saw a sparse and old house, these houses have been uninhabited for a long time, and some have even collapsed most of them, and a little wind and rain can completely blow them down, and they are as desolate as an abandoned land.
Looking at it all the way, the memory of the countryside in her impression is vague, but it is not to the extent that it is uninhabited.
Wu Xiaohua didn't look strange, since she knew that the tomb keeper was Jia Ying's grandfather, her attitude towards Jia Ying and the two of them was more cordial, "How long have you not been back? Don't look at this here, there are still people living in Wuming Village, but the road we are taking now is a different one." ”
"I just learned that the tomb keeper's grandfather's surname is Jia, no wonder you are so powerful. ”
"It's here. Father Wu's voice interrupted Wu Xiaohua.
There is a mud-brick house in front, the courtyard outside is not fenced, and a well and a few wooden shelves are the only two proofs that there may still be people living here.
Father Wu didn't continue to walk forward, "The old man usually doesn't like to see people, and he often goes into the mountains for ten days and half a month and doesn't come back, so if you want to see him, you have to try your luck." ”
He explained to Kahoru that the girl who was walking towards the house suddenly turned around and stopped, facing the direction of the forest on the side.
Father Wu thought she wanted to go into the forest to find someone, "The old man can still see people in the house, once he enters the forest, unless the old man himself is willing, it is impossible to find ......"
Before the word 'to' could be spoken, Father Wu saw the thin figure walking out of the forest mouth slowly.
Father Wu: "...... It seems that we had good luck today. ”
The old man who had come out of the forest raised his head, revealing most of his face in the shadow of his straw hat.
He paused for two seconds, then walked towards the room.
When Father Wu saw him approaching him, he looked respectful and kept silent.
Wu Xiaohua, who is usually optimistic, also looks well-behaved at this time.
Jia Ying said: "Grandpa." ”
The old man didn't stop.
Father Wu looked at Jia Ying and the others, but he didn't see the girl's disappointed and sad appearance, and he was indifferent from beginning to end as an elder brother.
I thought these two would be rejected.
A calm voice came from the old man who walked by, "Since you're here, let's come in." ”
