Wang Siyi was also frightened when he heard this, recently there was a family surnamed Shen in the village, and the children of that family were burned to death due to a fever of pockmarks, and the place where the people were buried seemed to be near here. Thinking of this, the pores on Wang Si's body opened by themselves, and goosebumps all over his body appeared, as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and he felt cold, but after thinking about the things Chen Tianba had explained to him, he reorganized his spirit and said,

"Third brother, don't scare me, I can't tell which troublemaker came out in the middle of the night to scare people. ”

Wang Si himself didn't believe it, who would run out without sleeping in the middle of the night to be scary, and it wasn't that he was full and had nothing to do.

Xing Youliang, who was still in action, didn't notice that there were other people nearby, just jumped off the courtyard wall, patted the ashes on his hands,

"Done, go home and sleep. ”

Xing Youqian, who was yawning constantly, laughed happily when he heard it, took his eldest brother's hand and walked happily all the way to Qingfeng Valley, humming a little song all the way.

Wang Si stopped, and heard the singing that seemed to be nothing,

Our fields

Beautiful fields

Turquoise water

Flowing through the endless rice fields

Boundless rice fields

Like an undulating sponge

Carp of base color

How fat it grows...

Wang Si couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Third brother, did you hear any children singing?"

Wang San replied with trembling vocal cords, "I heard it." ”

After saying that, the two of them ran back, running as fast as if there was a ghost chasing after them.

On the second day, Chen Tianba asked the two brothers what they saw, and the two brothers truthfully told them that they had seen ghosts, so angry that Chen Tianba kicked them.

"What the hell, pretending to be a ghost, let's go together tonight, I'm going to see which one it is. ”

Night fell quickly, Chen Tianba had some suspicions in his heart that the former landlord's family in the village was making trouble, but he didn't see anyone entering or leaving after guarding the door of Zhang's house for a long time, and he began to wonder if he was mistaken, so he asked,

"You said you heard the children singing last night?"

Wang San: "Yes, it sounds like he's not very old, just about the same age as the Shen family's child who just died in the village." Listen to the old seeper. ”

Wang San couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the situation last night, looking at the dark air around him as if there was something, he couldn't help but lean towards Chen Tianba.

Chen Tianba saw him like that and pushed him away with his elbow,

"Let's go, let's go to the thatched house of the Xing family and have a look. ”

The thatched hut was no longer guarded by rhubarb, and Chen Tianba no longer had any taboos, so he went straight to the courtyard, went to the Xing's kitchen to rummage through it and found nothing, and then went down to the cellar in the courtyard, where there was still nothing in it. But at that moment he heard the voice of a man talking from above,

"I'm finally back, I'm sleepy, big brother, put your things away and come to sleep." ”

"Don't worry, you can't wake up your little sister with cold hands and feet, the kitchen is warm with water, wash your feet first. ”

Listening to the sound above, Chen Tianba in the cellar didn't dare to make a sound, but the thoughts in his heart were constantly tumbling and intertwining,

Could it be that they are sending food to other people's homes everywhere? If so, then it makes sense why they didn't distribute it, since they were children, I don't know how many times they have been bullied by themselves, they must have been angry with themselves, but where did they get the food? No, no, they checked the kitchen and cellar and found nothing to eat. Is it in the bedroom?

The more Chen Tianba thought about it, the more strange he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, until he went home and lay on the bed, he was still thinking about it.

The next day, Xing Youliang got up as usual to prepare breakfast for his younger siblings, but found that the kitchen had been moved. Because his brother was too young to let him cook, and his uncle was too lazy to cook, he was always in charge of the kitchen, so it was clear that after dinner last night, he put everything in order, but after a night it was all wrong.

At the dinner table, Xing Youliang looked at everyone and asked,

"Who of you touched the kitchen last night?"

Fu Xiaojian was confused when he heard this question,

"There's nothing to eat, there's nothing to move, do you have any treasures hidden in it, and you didn't let my uncle know?"

Listening to his uncle's nonsense, Xing Youliang said directly,

"Someone in the kitchen has been touched, and if someone else hasn't touched it, someone else has come into our kitchen. ”

Fu Xiaojian took a bite of food and sighed,

"Alas, if Rhubarb is here, who dares to touch our kitchen in the middle of the night, then damn Chen Tianba, Lao Tzu really wants to peel his skin. ”

Xing Youqian smiled happily,

"Fortunately, our family has always kept food in the bedroom, and there is never food leftovers. ”

But Xing Youliang, who has always been cautious, is not worried about this problem, what he is most afraid of is that someone will find out his sister's secret, these days they have quietly sent food to various families everywhere, so that all kinds of voices have been born in the village, I am afraid that if someone has a heart to suspect them, then my sister will ,,,。

Xing Youliang didn't dare to think about it anymore when he thought of this, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks with a trembling body, and pulled his younger siblings into the room, leaving Fu Xiaojian alone stunned.

"You're not eating?

An answer came from afar,

"We won't eat, uncle, you wait and wash the dishes. ”

"Don't eat it, I'm welcome. Fu Xiaojian has always felt that he has no bottom on the amount of food, so he doesn't dare to let go of eating every time, for fear that a few little children will not be able to eat, and now he is left alone, of course, he unceremoniously opened his stomach and ate it.

In the room, Xing Youliang closed the door of the room, pulled his younger siblings to sit on the edge of the wooden table where he usually studied, and whispered,

"I doubt that our operation has been discovered, and if that is the case, it will be serious, and we will suspend our operation. ”

Hearing that he was going to suspend sending food to others, Xing Youqian clapped his hands and kept nodding and applauding, not like his eldest brother, worried about this, worried about that.

Xing Youliang looked at his younger brother and shook his head lightly, and said,

"Rhubarb is dead, and there is no one to take care of it, so last night's thief was able to enter our kitchen. Rummaging through boxes and cabinets, maybe we want to know where we put the food, but the secrets of our family can't be discovered, if someone finds out, we will lose Youyou, just like the day grandma came to the house and took away the mother's bracelet, it will be snatched away, you know, there is something?"

"Why was it snatched away like a bracelet, my sister is still so young?"

Xing Youqian hugged his little sister tightly as he spoke, as if he was afraid that she would really be snatched away, but he still couldn't understand, and looked at his eldest brother suspiciously, hoping that he could make him understand.

Xing Youliang hugged the two younger siblings in front of him, who were much shorter than him, lowered his head and rubbed the top of their heads, and said softly,

"Because Huaibi is guilty. ”
