The first to get up and open the door were the couple Zhang Qiubai and Lin.

Lin is a pregnant woman, and she gets up a lot of nights, and the night pot can't fit it, so she has to get up early to go to the thatched house.

"Daughter-in-law, slow down."

Zhang Qiubai took an oil lamp to illuminate the Lin family and accompanied her to the thatched house.

"Baichuan Dad, I'm fine."

Lin's voice was soft, not to mention more intimate, "You give me the oil lamp, and you go open the side door." ”

"Then you should be careful, don't forget that you still have our baby in your belly."

Zhang Qiubai was accustomed to Lin's independence and intimacy, and did not force him to accompany him, "I opened the door and went to the backyard to see the cattle, sheep and pigs." ”

He muttered as he walked towards the gate: "It rained last night, and I don't know if the cattle, sheep and pigs were frozen." ”

"Got it, you should hurry up."

Lin rubbed his arms coldly and urged, "I'm still in a hurry to get out." ”

While the couple were talking, they came to the side door leading to the thatched house and the backyard, Zhang Qiubai opened the door and let Lin go first, and then followed and closed the door at the same time.

"Daughter-in-law, be careful."

At the fork between the backyard and the thatched house, Zhang Qiubai said uneasy advice, and then walked to the backyard.

"Got it."

Lin was impatient, but the smile on her lips showed that she cared for her husband very well.

Zhang Qiubai didn't see the smile on his daughter-in-law's face, and when he heard the answer, he strode away with confidence.

When he came to the backyard, he went to the pigsty first, opened the door of the pen, and confirmed that a few piglets he had just caught were fine, and Zhang Qiubai was relieved.

Turn around and walk towards the shed where the cattle and sheep were kept.

"Huh?"

When he raised his eyes, he found that the door of the shed where the cattle and sheep were locked was open, and Zhang Qiubai was shocked, "Isn't it a thief?" ”

That's the livestock that his family bought for more than 20 taels, so don't have anything to do.

The young man did not rush into the shed, but turned his head and picked up a pole from the corner of the wall, and approached it cautiously.

In the cattle and sheep shed, the wounded man lay quietly between the cattle and sheep, his eyelids moved slightly, but he quickly regained his calm.

Zhang Qiubai raised the flat pole and came to the door of the cowshed, and found that the cattle and sheep were sleeping well, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that before this breath is finished, I found that something was wrong: "That's ......"

The young man rubbed his eyes and looked closely, what was it between the belly of the cow and the back of the sheep?

The nerves that had just been relaxed tensed again, and he stepped inward with very light steps, holding the flat arm tightly in his hand, ready to fall at any time.

The injured person breathed weakly and remained quiet.

Zhang Qiubai was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva hard, and his eyes stared at the abnormal seller without blinking.

When he got closer to see a bloodied man lying there, the young man's hands shook in fright, and he almost dropped his pole.

After observing the surroundings vigilantly and making sure that there were no other abnormalities in the shed, he approached the other party a little bit.

Holding the pole in one hand, he went to probe the man's snort with the other hand, and found that the other party's snort was weak, and the young man's hand shook again.

"No, you can't kill people at home."

Zhang Qiubai thought, looked at the person lying between the cattle and sheep again, and turned around and walked towards his father's window.

Just two steps away and feel inappropriate, I can't let the neighbors know about it, and I still have to go back to the house to see my father and mother.

So he turned around and went in the direction of the side door.

Listening to the footsteps of the young man in the distance, the injured man who was lying between the bellies of the cow and sheep quietly opened his eyes and looked.

The corners of his lips curled in an intriguing arc, and he closed his eyes again.

"Qiubai, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as I came to the fork, I met the Lin family who came out of the thatched house.

The latter saw that he was in a hurry and his face was wrong, so he couldn't help but ask with concern.

Seeing that the Lin family was still here, Zhang Qiubai's heart suddenly sudden, and he didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to pull her, and lowered his voice: "Let's go, let's go home." ”
