Lai Lian seemed to have guessed the answer, huddled in the quilt, shivering.

"Okay, the story is over, you rest, I'm out." Chen Ping stood up, found Chen Ya tugging at the corner of his clothes, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, this is all fake, how can there be such a person." ”

Even so, Chen Ya still tugged at Chen Ping's clothes and said in a low voice, "Don't go out, just here, okay?" ”

"Yes, you can't go, whoever told you this story, you're going to stay here and watch us sleep." Lai Lian should have been scared, although she didn't admit it, it could be seen that Chen Ya said that she wanted Chen Ping to stay, and she immediately agreed, "Go and move your chair over." ”

"It's all self-inflicted." sighed, or was snickering in his heart, and went to the hall with some small plots to move the chair in.

There was a distance of a zhang from the bed, and there was a small stove in the middle, Chen Ping did not undress, and curled up in the chair with his clothes closed.

"Sleep, I'm here watching." Chen Pingdao glanced at the window outside, and then looked at the door.

The heat from the stove is constantly wafting out, with a smell of smoke, which is very reassuring to smell in the nose. The three people in the room still kept their eyes wide open at first, and slowly fell asleep.

The wind was blowing, and the silk-clothed window suddenly moved, as if it had been brought up by the wind. But the window had a bolt from the inside, and it could only be picked twice before falling back.

After a moment's pause, a sharp blade pierced the silk cloth and cut a half-foot-long opening in it, and a slightly pale hand peeked through the crack, felt under the edge of the window, and pulled the bolt.

The window was raised, and the wind poured in, and the heat dissipated so much that even the ashes of the grass and trees in the little stove drifted away, and then fell on the chairs. Chen Ping, who was lying in the chair well, rolled over and coughed twice.

It was cold.

A man's head was exposed under the window, and when he heard a cough, his hand paused, and after a while, seeing that there was no movement, the man straightened up and climbed into the house.

"Ahem, don't make trouble, little lady, go away." Chen Ping, who was in the chair, suddenly said something and touched his mouth.

This sound startled the figure suddenly let go, and the window fell, and there was a loud sound, which was very abrupt in this night. But the three people in the room seemed to be sleeping soundly, and no one woke up, even Chen Ping, who had just made a sound, did not move.

"I'm scared to death, I was talking in my dreams." The figure whispered softly, then stood at the head of the bed, and after confirming the person, he rolled up the Lailian on the bed with the quilt.

Rolled up, the figure directly carried it on his shoulder, and turned around to go out through the window.

But at this time, the figure suddenly had a pain in his head, screamed, and squatted on the ground with his head covered with one hand, but did not forget to grasp the quilt with the other hand.

"Not dizzy? It's too light. Chen Ping held the wooden stick, raised it again, and struck it at the figure, shouting, "Catch the thief, catch the thief." ”

While fighting and shouting, there was a sudden dog barking outside the window, Xiao Hei got into the window, jumped on the bed, blocked in front of Chen Ya, who woke up, and barked at the black shadow.

"Go up and bite him."

Chen Ping shouted, but the wooden stick in his hand kept beating, and even the figure screaming and begging for mercy didn't hear it clearly, and when he finally found out that something was wrong, the figure was already unconscious.

"Open the door, what's going on inside?" There was a knock on the door outside, and the sound seemed to be Chen's father, it was very noisy, and there were other sounds.

Before Chen Ping could open the door, some villagers directly climbed over the courtyard wall, opened the courtyard door from the inside, held sickles, hoes, shovels and other farm tools in their hands, slammed open the door, and rushed in directly.

……

The next day, just after dawn, in the courtyard of Chen Ping's house.

"Here, scrub it with warm water." Chen Ping took a wooden basin with warm water poured into it, and handed it to a strong man sitting in the hall, "That, Uncle Lu, I really didn't mean it, I thought you were a thief." ”

The strong man in front of him is seven feet five high, and the proportion of later generations is converted, and he must be one meter eight tall, and he is also sturdy, with a national face. The fly in the ointment was that the strong man's head was bruised, and there was blood sticking to his nose and mouth, all of which were covered with a ball of linen.

"When did you see a thief stealing someone? You kid, you're not very old, but you're ruthless, I almost beat you to death. Lu Xingyong twisted the sackcloth, wiped it on his forehead, and looked back at Lai Lian who was sitting on the side, "Lian Niang, it was your sixth brother who asked me to come, take you back." ”

Chen Ping was also quite speechless, he thought he had caught a thief, but he didn't expect it to be a guard in Lailian's house, different from the seconded guard, the strong man named Lu Xingyong in front of him was a domestic slave in Laihu'er's house, and he came to take Lian back this time.

But you bring it, and when you walk through the gate during the day, you can say directly, why wait until the night to roll up the quilt like a thief.

"Could it be that this man used to be a flower thief?" Chen Ping pondered in his heart, this habit is not good, and he is also a loss to holding a wooden stick in his hand, if this is the short blade of the little madman, Chen Ping said that he must not get into trouble.

"I'm not going back, you go and tell the sixth brother when he will return my white dragon horse to me, and come back to me." Lailian is determined to fight his brother to the end.

"How can that work?" Lu Xingyong put down the sackcloth, "I got orders when I came, if you don't listen, I will just knock you out and carry you back." ”

"You dare." Lai Lian glared back.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Xingyong was finally defeated.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't go back, but from today onwards, I'm going to follow you." Lu Xingyong said, "Those guards in the mansion have also returned to the military mansion, no one is to protect them, and it is not safe for you to be outside alone." ”

"I'm not going back anyway." Lian didn't object to this, but he laughed and snorted, "Even Chen Ping's stupid can't beat him, and he still wants to protect me." ”

"Ahem." Lu Xingyong coughed twice, "That's not holding you, I'm afraid of hurting you." ”

"The next time you dare to take me back while I'm asleep, I'll throw you into the river." Lai Lian warned, and then ignored the embarrassed Lu Xingyong, and went to the courtyard.

In the hall, Father Chen, who was sitting on the side, did not speak, and his expression was also a little embarrassed.

"Well, I couldn't stop it last night. I thought it was a thief, and my hand was heavier, but are your legs tighter? Last night, Chen Xiaoyi heard the villagers knocking on the door, and climbed over the courtyard wall with a stick, kicked the door open first, and saw Lu Xingyong in the room go up with a few sticks.

If it weren't for Chen Ping, I'm afraid Lu Xingyong wouldn't be at Chen Ping's house this morning, and he wouldn't be lying in the county office.

"This is also my recklessness, this is your son?" The leg was injured in the flesh, but it didn't stimulate the bones, and it would be fine after a few days of rest, Lu Xingyong glanced at Chen Ping and praised, "You kid has two hits, and this hand is really heavy enough." ”
