At night, the clear moonlight shines on the snow, reflecting a bright light. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The snow fluttered lightly, falling on the ground, on the roofs, in the cold air.

Yuan Shanjia lay quietly in the house, a little unable to sleep.

When it was quiet, the sound of snow falling was very obvious, and you could faintly hear the sound of Jiaer's breathing, as well as the coughing of the villagers next door.

After dark, they finally arrived at the village.

The village is not large, with only a dozen families. The village chief was also very enthusiastic about them, and when he heard that they were going to the capital city of Liancheng, he was even more enthusiastic. Of course, thanks to the accommodation fees given by Yuan Shanjia and Yun Yuqing. When the real money is in hand, these poor people must be happy.

In the winter, there is no need to farm, there is no work outside, and the income of the villagers is limited, and it is a good thing for them to be able to earn extra money.

"A-2, have you slept?" Yuan Shanjia spoke, his voice was very small, but in the quiet night, it was very abrupt and clear.

You don't have to think about it, you know that even if Jia Er is asleep, he doesn't sleep deeply, and he will wake up if he moves a little.

"Nope." Jiaji's voice came.

"Can't sleep?" Chu Rui didn't fall asleep either.

The houses in the village are limited, so Yuan Shanjia and Chu Rui live in the same house.

Those people didn't know that Yuan Shanjia was a woman, and they didn't think much about it when they were assigned.

"Hmm." Yuan Shanjia said softly.

"Worried about your dad?" Chu Rui asked.

At this time, he did not call Yuan Tian a general. The sound insulation effect of this room is not good, and it is easy to make people suspicious and expose their identities.

"Well, sort of. Mainly worried about my mother. My mother is pregnant, can she survive on such a cold day......" Yuan Shanjia's worried emotions spread in his heart.

Yun Niang's body was greatly injured when it was treated by the Li family at that time, and the injury was aggravated later, if it weren't for Mr. Mei's recuperation, her body would have collapsed long ago. Even so, Yun Niang is still a little bad every winter, and she must be in a warm environment, otherwise the old injury will definitely recur.

Yuan Shanjia thought about it, and became even more worried.

"Master, don't worry, with that girl by Madame's side, it'll be fine." Uncle Yun said loudly.

The girl he said was Ran Zhu. Ran Zhu grew up with Yuan Shanjia. Naturally, he knows Yun Niang's body. Now that he has followed him to Jidan City, and knows Yun Niang's identity, he will naturally be more attentive.

"Uncle Yun, woke you up?"

"The minions slept a lot before, and now they can't sleep."

Yuan Shanjia didn't believe Uncle Yun's words. These two days have been resting in the wild, where there may be too much sleep.

She only thought that Uncle Yun was the same as herself, worried about the development of the situation, so she didn't think much about it.

At this time, Mo Yi also spoke, "How can you sleep on such a cold day?" ”

"Are you all cold?"

Yuan Shanjia gathered the quilt on his body.

The village is not wealthy. The village chief borrowed some from other people's families, and only brought three quilts. The three beds are still thin, but they are thicker than the summer quilts.

Chu Rui and the others all insisted that Yuan Shanjia use it, and they themselves relied on their deep internal qi to resist the cold.

Card Wipe Card Wipe ......

Outside the door came the sound of shoes stepping on the snow. And that sounds like a lot.

"Anyone?" Yuan Shanjia jumped up violently.

The rest of the people reacted faster, Chu Rui and Jia Er arrived at Yuan Shanjia's side in an instant, and Mo Yi, Uncle Yun and Lianhui flashed to the side of the door and looked outside through the crack in the door.

"How?" Chu Rui whispered, his voice almost inaudible.

When Uncle Yun saw the scene outside, his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Mo Yi's ears moved, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he made a gesture to Chu Rui, his hands clenched into fists.

Chu Rui's eyesight is very good, and when he saw this gesture clearly, he lifted the burden on the table, took out his cloak and quickly put it on Yuan Shanjia.

"Be careful, no matter what, don't let me go." Chu Rui whispered in Yuan Shanjia's ear, carefully tied the cloak to Yuan Shanjia, and brought the hat to Yuan Shanjia.

Yuan Shanjia couldn't care about the itchy ears, and nodded solemnly, "Hmm." ”

Can't she see clearly, Mo Yi's gesture, and she can only faintly see that he made a movement. But even if she saw it clearly, she didn't know what it meant.

"The people inside! Now that you've found out, don't hide, come out! ”

There was a commotion outside, then silence, and a loud voice echoed through the village.

Yuan Shanjia's eyebrows jumped, wasn't this voice the voice of the village chief who was only willing before?

She looked at Chu Rui and noticed his composure, and she became even more calm.

Chu Rui shook his head at her and said softly, "Don't act rashly for the time being. ”

There are a lot of people outside, so you have to avoid it for the time being.

He made a gesture to Mo Yi, hugged Yuan Shanjia and hid behind the bed frame next to him, and straddled a burden on his body, just in case.

Jiaji followed vigilantly, protecting Yuan Zenjia's right, and the dagger in his hand was hidden in his sleeve to prevent the cold from being exposed.

"Listen up, the people inside, you are already surrounded, if you want to live, you better come out quickly!" The people outside were a little impatient, and the fire was blazing, and the light that came through the crack in the door suddenly became brilliant.

Mo Yi nodded lightly at Uncle Yun, who glanced behind the bed frame, blocked the knife in front of him, and then opened the door.

The door opened wide at once, and the golden light shone on the ground, refracted by the snow, red, and shining on the people's faces, which was even more hideous.

A group of people stood a dozen feet from the door, each with blazing torches and sharp weapons in their hands. Some are hoes, some are sickles, some are kitchen knives, and there are all sorts of things. But there's one thing in common, and that's that it's all sharp. In the light of the fire, the light is reflected.

Looking at their dress, they are all farmers in the village, but they don't have the enthusiasm and simplicity they had when they first came in the evening.

"Finally out? I thought that if you don't come out, I'm going to start a fire. The village chief looked pityful, "But it's okay this way, just enough to save a room." ”

Yuan Shanjia hid behind the bed frame, and when he heard this, he instantly thought of the smell of the fire he smelled when he came. At that time, I didn't care so much, thinking that when I was heating in winter, it was normal to burn things, and when it was dark, I couldn't see the situation inside the house clearly. So I didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, she hurriedly looked to the ground. The light of the fire from outside came in, and the scorched marks in the corners of the walls were faintly visible.

Then he looked at the house, which was made of wood and thatch. It is said that it is warmer, but these materials for building houses have one advantage, that is, they are good to ignite. Just lift the outer layer of thatch, which has been wet with snow, and the inside can be set on fire.

"Why are there only three of you, and there are three?" The village chief glared disapprehendedly.

Chu Rui put on Yuan Shanjia's cloak and escorted her outside.

Yuan Shanjia looked calm and whispered, "Be careful." Try to focus on your own safety later. Everything will wait until we find out their strength. ”

Chu Rui nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

These people can be seen at a glance. None of them are powerful, just a rabble. He doesn't need to make a move, Mo can do it with a few things.

Yuan Shanjia went out and couldn't help but look at the room next door, such a loud voice, it was impossible for the people next door not to hear it, but why didn't anyone come out?
