Chapter 221: Sleepless Night (Part II)
This situation lasted for a while, just when Li and the others put their hearts down, thinking that this night was about to pass.
Suddenly, a roar louder than before.
After that, there was another noticeable noise.
The main house was not far from the courtyard outside, and at this time, Zhao Yu and the others were still sitting in the house in a daze.
Hearing the noise outside, whether it was an adult or a child, he was directly awakened at once.
Even those who had already fallen asleep before woke up.
Li's reaction was fast this time, she took the lead directly, and quickly caught the two children closest to her to herself, and at the same time, she didn't forget to tell Liu and others who came back from outside, "Go, hurry up and take a look at the children at home, the movement outside is too big." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly handed over the two children in his arms to his daughter-in-law.
As for herself, she jumped directly off the ground, put on the cloth shoes on the side, and ran out of the house in two steps.
In the hall, Guo and Wei were there, and the two were lying at the door of the confined room at this time, their eyes constantly looking outside.
"How's it going?" Li asked softly.
Guo Shi didn't look back, only whispered, "I can't see it really, but there is no movement in the courtyard, and there is a lot of movement outside the courtyard gate,"
As he spoke, Guo leaned to the side and left a place for Li by the way.
Li walked up directly and lay there staring outside.
Because there was no light outside, and the courtyard gate was open, everyone went out.
Therefore, Li vaguely saw a lot of swaying phantoms.
After listening carefully, Li found that the sounds that had just come in were all coming from a distance, not at the door of his house.........
Isn't it your own house that is in trouble, but the people around you?
Li Shi was puzzled, and her face became weird, somehow, she didn't have the fear she had before, but was unusually calm.
After looking at it for a while, and making sure that there was no major movement, Li turned around and entered the house again, only looked around, and called Liu out,
"Mother, what's the matter?" Liu didn't know what Li was looking for her.
Li hurriedly pointed to the door and said, "You quickly call some helpers, cook more soup, put more chili peppers, ginger slices and other things," the men in the family were in a hurry, they didn't wear ponchos, and they couldn't stand it after staying outside for so long.
Liu nodded hurriedly and sighed, instead of calling Yuan, he called Zhao Yinyan, and called Guo's two daughters-in-law, Jiang and Jiang, Wei's youngest daughter-in-law, Xiaowei, and Yuan's eldest daughter-in-law, Wei, came out to work.
Several people didn't ask the reason, and they all continued to make soup in an orderly manner according to what Liu said.
At this time, the movement outside is small again, and it is impossible to hear it if you don't listen carefully.
This is like the earth dragon turning over, it is the kind of attack that is violent at the beginning and turns into a continuous burst of attacks later, which can easily make people lower their vigilance.
But Li and the others have learned from the past, and they are not relaxed now, but are even more nervous.
Just now, after the courtyard door opened, someone went out again.
"Hey, this man, go out and do something!" Several women couldn't help but complain, thinking that their old men had nothing to do, so it was not good to stay in the yard? Why go out, it's dangerous.
But the people did leave, and they squatted in the main room, and they couldn't stop them if they wanted to.
I thought I would come back soon, but I didn't expect that when the time flickered, the sky had gradually turned dark and turned into Qingmeng, and people hadn't come back yet.
The ginger soup boiled in the iron pot, the chili water has been boiled, and it is covered with a lid.
Afraid of boiling a dry pot, Li had to look at it from time to time.
Li and the others began to panic, constantly looking at the outside of the hospital, for fear of accidentally missing it.
Soon, the people outside the hospital came back, their clothes soaking wet, but they were fine.
Li was startled, and hurriedly opened the door and ran out, but he didn't want to trip over the threshold and almost fell, but fortunately he was helped by Guo.
The four of the Li family didn't sleep all night, and they were all very sleepy at this time, but when they saw that the men and children in the family had come back safely, they were all happy to not sleep.
After putting the boiled ginger soup and chili water out, Li and the others hurriedly took out clean clothes, changed them for the men in the family, let them drink them quickly, and followed the people back to the house to sleep.
After this slippery thing was over, Li and the others let go of their tense hearts and followed the whole body to make breakfast relaxed.
…………
And everyone who went back to sleep in the house did not fall asleep, but sat by the kang with a nervous expression, obviously the situation outside was not very good.
Zhao Fusheng spoke, "Fujin, you took Shanlin and Shanbiao to the east last night, what happened over there?" ”
Everyone listened to the movement, and after being discharged from the hospital, they were afraid of an accident, Zhao Fusheng and Father Yuan took people to stay at the door, Zhao Fuxiang took people to the west, and Zhao Fujin took people to the east.
Zhao Fuxiang came back early and briefly explained the situation in the west, which was nothing more than a few houses that were washed away by flash floods.
And Zhao Fujin went to the east for a long time, and came back late, everyone was hungry, so he didn't have to ask urgently.
Now that I drank the soup and went back to the house, I had time to ask carefully.
"Big brother, it's not good, the inn over there in the east post station, the inn...... It's all forcibly occupied by the homeless people who ran out, and the guys inside are gone! ”
Zhao Fujin stumbled as he spoke, and the familiar loud voice made Zhao Fusheng and the others frown, it was too noisy.
Zhao Shanyu couldn't help but touch his nose, and followed Zhao Fujin's words, "Fourth uncle, then according to what you say, our post station, there is no main business at the moment?" ”
Zhao Shanyu said in his heart that this is good, at least they can live here for as long as they want, and no one cares.
It's a pity that he looked at the increasingly gloomy faces of the elders around him, and he realized that he might have said the wrong thing.
Because, dad, they are all heavier than ever.
Zhao Shanyu couldn't help but be stunned, well, did he think badly?
Sure enough, Zhao Fuxiang spoke, "Xiao Wu, it's not what you think,"
The voice is tired, he is old, he didn't sleep all night last night, and people's energy naturally can't support it, "There is no one at the post station, so it will be even more impossible to balance those homeless people,"
"Especially, we people have brought a lot of things with us, "There is a lot of food to eat, and it is easy to be targeted by those red-eyed homeless people."
"Yes, the three of us went out, and the reason why we were able to come back safely was because the other party knew that there were many people on our side, and they didn't dare to start," Zhao Fujin added, "I'm afraid that I will be afraid now, and I will have no scruples later, "You know, there are a lot of old and weak women and children in their team, and there is a high probability of accidents."
"Yes, Dad, you don't know, there are a few of those homeless people who are particularly powerful, and their archery skills are superb, similar to Uncle Yuan, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it," Zhao Shanlin said with pessimism.
"Hey, I know, hurry up and tell your mother the news, here, I can't stay,"
"Pack up, get ready early, and wait in the yard," Zhao Fuxiang said, and at the same time hurriedly arranged the following things, "I can't stay, I must leave today," even if the rain outside hasn't stopped.
If you leave, you are just sick and have no food, and if you stay, in the face of those fierce homeless, you are likely to return to both people and money.
"Okay, Dad, I'll go and say it right away," Zhao Shanlin hurriedly responded, turned around and ran out of the door.
At the same time, Zhao Shanbiao, Zhao Shanyun, and Yuan Jindong also ran out and hurriedly told the news to themselves.
Soon, there was a flurry of sounds outside, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps.
And the few people who stayed in the house knew it, and everyone knew it.
…………
I'm leaving, and I don't have time to sleep.
Even if the men in the family didn't sleep all night and were exhausted, they were not idle, and quickly pulled out the horses, mules, cattle and other livestock in the family, set up the cart, and moved the things up.
The grain is placed at the bottom, and only a few layers of straw mats can be set on top to prevent it from getting wet by the rain.
The children of the family also came out to help, and when everything was done, everyone took a breath.
followed, Li continued to go back to cook, while Zhao Fusheng and the other four old men sneaked out of the courtyard and went to Zhao Furui's side not far away.
Zhao Furui was also hurriedly packing up his belongings and loading the car.
Seeing Zhao Fusheng and the others coming, as soon as they said that they were leaving, several people saw that they had the same intentions, and they did not stay, so they hurried home to prepare.
When I got home, the meal on Lee's side was ready.
Everyone hurriedly sat down and had breakfast.
Because of this, everyone's mood is not very good, and the child will look at the eyes, only bow his head to eat, and dare not interject at will.
Soon, breakfast was finished in a depressing atmosphere.
"Put on your clothes and ponchos, and when it's time for us to leave."
This is the time set by Zhao Furui, and when the time comes, everyone in the team will go together.
