At the rally, both the Qi family and the Jiang family sent invitations to Li Niang, saying that her family was too deserted at the end of the village, and there were no other people's homes around a few hundred meters, and it was very unsafe in this chaotic time.

Li Niang was unhappy in her heart, and said that she would go home and discuss with her brother, Qi and Jiang glanced at each other, and sighed secretly, look, the last time that incident really made this little lady angry, although Li Daniu's family helped the Mo family plant sorghum, but the relationship between the two families is still not easy to ease.

As one of the four existing talents in Xiaowan Village, Shubai was not entrusted with important tasks by the villagers, but after the meeting ended, the village chief still called him to stay and help with things, and Li Niang had to take Qingyuan back first.

She also has something to do, steamed some steamed buns with noodles, fried some pickles, because her brother has a shadow in her heart, she vomits when she sees meat, and she has not used meat dishes at home for many days, except for leaving for lunch and evening meals, the rest are avoided by Qingyuan and put into the ring, and when the brother comes back, he will give him a small half to collect, in case something really happens, he can't be hungry.

In addition, she also took out a strap from the box, tied Qingyuan to her body and tried it, and now she has a lot of strength, and she can run with Qingyuan on her back for a quarter of an hour without weak feet.

Shubai came back and went out again after lunch, he had to participate in the patrol in the afternoon, this is still the village chief Li to take care of him, patrolling during the day, and he can stay at home at night to guard the two small ones.

Will the villagers have any opinions on such an arrangement? Shubai didn't say it, and Li Niang didn't ask, the Li family took this opportunity to repay the favor, so then go on, it's a fool not to answer.

Sending her brother away, Li Niang closed the door and Qingyuan took a nap, she had a faint premonition that something might happen tonight, and now that she has enough spirits, she can deal with anything.

Shubai gathered under the big locust tree, Li Daniu was the captain of his team, Shubai thanked Li Daniu, thanked the Li family for thinking about the safety of their brothers and sisters, and would consider their suggestions if there was a situation.

Li Daniu understood that this was a polite remark and a refusal, but the Li family's intentions were fulfilled, and it was okay for Mo Shubai to see the sincerity.

While patrolling along the riverbank, Shubai and the others also encountered the patrol team of Xinsheng Village opposite, Xinsheng Village's geographical location is relatively special, close to Jinshui Town, and there is nothing to rely on in the mountains and rivers to rely on, so there is no defense against refugees.

However, Xinsheng Village has already paid the field tax, and every household has not much food left, which is not very attractive to the refugees, so they just patrol during the day to prevent refugees from entering the village to steal and rob, and hide in their own homes at night to take care of everyone.

And Xiaowan Village has not yet had its turn to pay taxes, and the wheat that has just been beaten is still stored in the farmer's house, and those who are interested can know it as soon as they inquire about it, which is as shining as a firefly in the night, which is too attractive.

This night, Li Niang went back to the room after eating, the dishes and chopsticks were still washed by her brother, she arrived at Xianzhuang early to do things, and hurried home after cooking.

Qingyuan had already slept, Shubai was sharpening his knife in the moonlight, and the firewood knife that had cut off the thief's head had been disgusted by him for several days, and now he finally mustered up the courage to take it out and clean and polish it.

Seeing his sister walk out of the room, Shubai stopped moving, beckoned, and whispered to his sister: "Brother and a little mud, pasted some broken porcelain on the wall of our house, someone climbing the wall must be able to create some movement, but the fence wall against the backyard is not easy to get, when you sleep at night, be alert, don't panic when you hear the movement, don't make a noise, quietly come to the brother's room, you know?" ”

Li Niang nodded, took out the fishskin short sword and handed it over, "Brother sharpen me too, I'm good at self-defense." ”

Shubai put down the firewood knife, took the short sword and poured some water and sharpened it, there was already a worm sickle at his feet, the sickle reflected the moonlight, it was miserable and white, and there was a red halo when you looked closely, and it was terrible to look at.

Seeing Li Niang staring at the worm sickle, Shubai also frowned, "I don't know why, this worm sickle has become like this once it is stained with human blood, but I can't see it during the day." ”

"Well, that insect is a demon beast, and it may have stimulated the residual demonic energy inside it if it was stained with human blood, it's okay, the insects have turned into ashes, and they can't be turned into harm." As soon as Li Niang explained this, Shubai was relieved

After sharpening the knife, the brother and sister went back to their rooms, Li Niang lay on the kang in a daze, Shubai sat next to Qingyuan against the wall and took a nap, with a worm sickle in his hand, the oil lamp had already been blown out, and the dim moonlight penetrated the window paper and sprinkled mottled light and shadow on the ground.

Li Niang slept for an hour and a half at noon, thinking that she would not be able to sleep at night, but at a young age, looking at the rooftop and thinking endlessly, she actually fell asleep again, until she heard someone screaming, she suddenly woke up.

Is it really coming? What to do!

Li Niang clutched her wildly beating chest, forced herself to calm down, put on her shoes under the kang, held the fishskin short sword out of the sheath in her hand, slowly touched the door and removed the deadbolt, opened the door a crack to look out.

What else did she see, and a dark shadow moved next to her, blocking her vision.

"Li Niang?"

"Ah, brother?"

The door opened quickly and was closed, Li Niang had an extra Qingyuan in her arms, she was still stunned, and she heard her brother say: "Look forward to Qingyuan, don't make a sound." ”

The words fell, people were far away, and Li Niang found for the first time that her brother's movements could be so chic and fast, like a high-spirited soldier rushing to the courtyard wall without hesitation.

In Liniang's trance, a strange white light flashed, and after a short scream, everything was calm, Liniang shuddered, and secretly scolded herself for being useless.

"Molly Niang, now is not the time to be in a daze, hurry up and cheer up! Fight with Big Brother! ”

After cheering herself up, she reflexively put Qingyuan, who was still asleep, on the kang, then took the lock and locked the door from the outside, and gently pounded her feet a few times, and then went to squat under the other wall.

Shubai was so angry when he saw it, but it was useless for him to stomp his feet, and he had no time to care about his sister, because there was movement on the wall again, he squatted down, staring at the diagonal upward with big eyes, and his heart was so calm that even he felt incredible.

He killed another person just now, the smell of blood is so strong, why didn't he vomit? Is it getting used to it?

When she arrived at the root of the wall, Li Niang didn't think about being afraid, but she held back a sense of anger in her chest, she heard someone shouting outside the wall, saying that there were three orphans in this family, the family had money and food, and the scholars had no strength, so they went in and grabbed it and ran quickly, and the people in the village didn't say that they couldn't hear the movement here, even if they heard it, they couldn't rush to the rescue.

"Conscienceless dog thing! If you dare to come, you will have the consciousness of death! Li Niang shouted and scolded, holding the short sword with her backhand and stabbing the person who fell from the wall!

The unlucky ghost who fell first didn't notice that he was stabbed in the hand by the broken porcelain, and then he was stabbed in the chest by a sharp weapon, and screamed loudly in pain.

It's good now, with a sword, no more calling, and the people outside are also frightened.
