Chapter 87: Stealing Pigs
As soon as Laba passed, the sky became colder.
It was cold and frozen, and some adults and children who were not cold ran out to build snowmen and have snowball fights, but when the snowflakes fell again, they all went back to their respective homes.
Because there is no cellar and no refrigerator in the south courtyard, many dishes that can't be put away have become delicacies in the pot.
However, at this time of year, Duan Yongyuan will find a way to make a self-made freezer out of ready-made things.
He made room for the backlit and shady place in the south courtyard, that is, the corner of the granary and the east house, and cleaned it.
Three wooden studded chests were folded sideways in a row, and then they were covered with a large plastic sheet, as if they were dressed in a transparent garment. Duan Yongyuan stuffed the radishes, cabbage, etc. into the wooden box, and finally gathered the snow in the yard to this side, covering the wooden box like a hill.
If there isn't enough snow in the yard, you can also go outside the yard to shovel.
The large plastic sheeting acts as a compartment, so that if the snow melts, it is not easy for the snow to flow into or seep into the wooden box.
When doing this, of course, Parsley also gave Duan Yongyuan a hand, just like building a snowman, there was joy in the cold.
In the blink of an eye, the tail of January will also come to an end.
That night the wind howled like a roaring flood beast. The temperature has plummeted, and there must have been a lot of snow outside.
In the whistling cold wind, there was a sudden sound of "sudden", which began to hit the entrance of the village in the south, from far to near and from near to far.
Half-asleep, Parsley had no source to capture the sound.
Before she could fall asleep, this "sudden" voice passed by in front of the South Courtyard again.
Xiangqin slept in the East House, only a wall away from the road coming down from the entrance of the village to the south, and whenever there was a lot of noise outside, she could hear it clearly in the East House.
When the sound of "Tutu" passed for the third time, Parsley opened her eyes and listened carefully.
Sudden Sudden Sudden -
The sound has never stopped, even if it is far away, Parsley can be vaguely heard.
Sudden Sudden Sudden -
Some resemble the sound of a tractor starting.
However, when the sound reached Parsley's ears clearly for the fourth time, she also caught some other sounds, such as the "clang" sound of the car shaking and crumbling.
Parsley guessed that it was a motor tricycle running outside. The overall appearance is similar to a small truck, the front of the car is large, but there is a wheel in front of the front of the car.
The motor tricycle seemed to be running in circles, the route remained the same, each time passing the entrance of the south courtyard, then turning into a small alley at the north end, crossing the main road, and then winding back.
It's so late, whose car is running outside?
It should be three o'clock in the middle of the night.
But Xiangqin has never heard of anyone in Duanjiazhuang who has bought a motor tricycle......
A layer of doubt came to her mind, and Xiangqin was completely sleepy at this time, and when she heard the sound of "Tutu" passing by for the seventh time, she couldn't help but get irritable.
This also keeps people from sleeping!
However, suddenly she couldn't hear a sound, and Carsley couldn't help but get nervous.
She even nervously got out of bed, her ears pressed against the cold wall, and there was not even a dog barking at this time, except for the sound of the cold wind howling and the snow hitting the wall.
Something is wrong!
This is Parsley's intuition.
She dressed, grabbed her flashlight, and tried the flickering lights.
When he heard the movement in the hall, Duan Yongyuan had already woken up, he thought that Xiangqin got up at night to go to the toilet, so he didn't pay attention, turned over and fell asleep again.
As soon as Parsley opened the door of the hall, the cold wind and chill outside rushed into the crack of the door.
Parsley shuddered and couldn't help but shrink her neck. However, the padded jacket and cotton pants on her body are useless at this time, and they do not have the effect of keeping warm at all.
It was still snowing heavily, and when the lights shone on, it was a scene of snowflakes, hazy and charming.
Out of the south courtyard, Xiangqin walked to the road connected to the entrance of the village, and deliberately lowered the light of the flashlight. At this time, in the snow, there are more than a dozen long prints of large and small wheels, which are intricate and messy.
Parsley follows the mark of the wheels from south to north, which is the direction of the previous motorized tricycle.
Before she had followed the wheel print, Parsley faintly heard a muffled sound of "boom", not the sound of thunder, but the sound of something collapsing.
Parsley chuckled in her heart, she had a bad premonition, it was hard to say whose wall had collapsed!
She trotted all the way, forgetting to follow the wheel prints, and went straight in the direction where the sound of collapse was heard.
The light of the flashlight flickered, and I heard a man's voice in the alley, "Someone is coming, get in the car and go!" ”
The man's voice sounded scared and anxious.
When Parsley reached the corner of the alley, the sound of "Tutu" sounded again.
She flickered into the lights, and all she could see was the tail of the car that was driving away.
Xiangqin thought that she was alone, and the number of people on the other side was at least two, so she didn't dare to catch up.
She suddenly realized that the place where the motor tricycle was parked just now was not the Ai Zhi family!
Her heart sank, and she hurried up again.
By this time, the motorized tricycle was gone, and Parsley was not afraid.
When he arrived at the door of Aizhi's house, the light of the parsley flashlight swept away, and the whole person's face lost blood.
One of the walls of Aieda's house was now in ruins, and bricks were scattered in the yard and piled up on the thick snow.
The "boom" that Xiangqin heard just now was really the sound of the wall collapsing!
Parsley was in a cold sweat, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped on the bricks and galloped into the courtyard, clenched his fists and slammed the gate of Aizhi's house. "Concubine, love branch, love branch-"
After a while, the lights came on in the inner room, and footsteps could be heard in the hall.
Aizhi wrapped herself in a cotton jacket, opened the door of the hall, and was not surprised to see that parsley was standing outside. When she heard the sound in the room just now, she knew it was Parsley.
As soon as Aizhi got up, his reaction was a little sluggish, and when he was blown by the cold wind, the whole person was a lot more sober.
Xiangqin is sitting in the yard at this time, Aizhi remembers that she locked the courtyard door early last night, what is Xiangqin......
"Parsley, what are you doing...... Coming in? ”
Before Aizhi finished speaking, he saw the flashlight in Xiangqin's hand sweeping in the direction of the courtyard wall, and the good courtyard wall turned into a brick, and Aizhi was stunned.
"Concubine, hurry up and see if there are any expensive things at home!" Parsley didn't have time to explain that much to her, she had to call someone right away. If those people turn back again, what kind of climate can two women and a baby doll point to?
Seeing her turn to leave, Aieda suddenly came back to her senses and grabbed her.
Parsley clearly felt the trembling of Aizhi's hands, and as soon as she hit it with the light, she saw Aizhi's eyes wide, her eyes full of fear, and her whole face was pale. Xiangqin was frightened by her female ghost's appearance.
"Parsley-Parsley-"
Duan Yongyuan's voice came from the south.
Parsley pressed Aizhi's hand, her hand was as cold at this time, she couldn't give Aizhi warmth, and all she conveyed was strength.
"Son, I'll call my brother over!"
Aieda nodded, choked in her throat, and never let go of her hand.
She grabbed Parsley by the arm and walked with her into the alley.
Xiangqin took a deep breath and shouted in the direction of the south, "Brother Yongzi, I'll leave it here!" ”
"Parsley-" Duan Yongyuan's voice gradually got closer, and when he saw the lights flickering in the alley, he plunged into it.
After Duan Yongyuan woke up, he didn't fall asleep, and suddenly heard a loud "clang" of the courtyard gate, as if it was blown open by a gust of wind.
He thought that Parsley would go to the toilet at night, but he didn't expect her to run out so late, and he didn't see her come back for a long time, so he was a little anxious, so he came out to look for Parsley.
Duan Yongyuan was also shocked when he saw the situation of Aizhi's family.
He gasped, then held his breath, "What's going on?" ”
Parsley didn't figure out the situation, "A few people drove tricycles and collapsed the wall!" ”
Duan Yongyuan's expression was tense, and he was in a complicated mood for a while, he had all the tastes, but he didn't know what they were like.
"I guess it's stealing!" Duan Yongyuan came to a conclusion.
"I'll just say let Ai Zhizi see if there is anything lost at home."
With one more person by her side, Aizhi relieved herself, and felt not so scared, and she had palpitations.
"There are no precious things in the yard, just a few ......" Aizhi seemed to suddenly realize something, and her eyes swept in the direction of the pigsty, and her eyes were dyed with a thick fear.
There were three pigs in the pigsty, two boars and an old sow, and there was no movement at all!
The old sow still has a pig baby in her belly!
Aizhi was stunned for two seconds, let go of Parsley's arm, and rushed to the pigsty like a gust of wind...... Pig affairs.
"Pigs, my pigs!"
In this case, the pig is definitely not asleep. Usually, as soon as Aizhi gets close to the pigsty, even if his face has not had time to be revealed, the three pigs will arch into the pigsty, eager to grab food. At this time, they all have no spirit at all!
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll call someone." Duan Yongyuan left this sentence, and immediately went to Duan Xiang and Duan Hao's house, and called the two of them together.
They came just to give women courage, and to deal with pigs was to lay outsiders.
They can all see that the pig is still angry, and no one can say whether they can survive to the end.
"I'm going to call Dr. Liu to come and have a look." Xiangqin knew that it was indeed a bit rude to trouble people to come over at this point, but the incident happened suddenly, even if she was embarrassed by others, she had to drag him over.
"I'll go with you." Duan Hao volunteered to be a messenger to protect flowers.
At this time, it is really not good to let Xiangqin walk alone at night, but the relationship between them and Dr. Liu is not as familiar with Xiangqin as Dr. Liu. RS
