In the quiet night, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and Ruan Xiaoman woke up violently.

"What's going on?" Ruan Xiaoman rubbed his eyes, walked out of the room, and asked his parents, who had already gotten up in a hurry.

"It's okay, you can go back to sleep." Ruan Sanniang bowed her head and bent over, and said softly to Ruan Xiaoman.

Coaxing children, although she is only four years old, she already knows how to read words and feelings.

Ruan Xiaoman went back to the room obediently on the surface, but sneaked out while his parents were not paying attention, and vaguely heard a big water or something.

Ruan Xiaoman felt a little uneasy, this was not a good thing, but he was afraid of being discovered by his parents, so he had to hurry back to the room, and his sister Ruan Xiaoxia was still asleep.

Ruan Sanlang put on his robe, and then comforted Ruan Sanniang for a few words and hurried out of the door, along with a dozen other adult men in Sandaokou.

It's been raining a lot for a long time, and it's raining at night.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the sound of ticking water made people a little irritable.

Ruan Xiaoman saw that the small wooden basin that received the water was full, and only after taking it and pouring it out did he go back to the room and wanted to continue sleeping.

But she couldn't sleep, judging by the situation, it should be quite serious, otherwise she wouldn't disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night.

Ruan Sanniang couldn't sleep even more, Ruan Sanlang was the pillar of the family, and as soon as he left like this, her backbone was gone.

In the main house, Mrs. Ruan turned over and continued to sleep, it was not yet dawn, she didn't want to waste the money for lamp oil.

Old man Ruan couldn't sleep, the Ruan family suddenly sent out four sons to do such a dangerous thing, where could he sleep, but there was nowhere to tell about this depression, just smoking dry cigarettes.

Mrs. Ruan was a little dissatisfied, she was still smoking dry tobacco at this time, which cost a lot of money, but she didn't dare to say anything about Old Man Ruan, she just muttered a few words and fell asleep.

As soon as the day dawned, Ruan Sanniang woke up, Ruan Sanlang hadn't come back yet, she was dreaming.

She dreamed that Ruan Saburo had come back safely, and the family was eating breakfast neatly around the table.

Ruan Sanniang wiped a handful of sweat and hurriedly dressed neatly, it was time to get ready for breakfast, they should be back soon.

Ruan Xiaoman couldn't sleep well, so he also got up early to help.

Ruan Sanniang was busy alone in the kitchen, and Ruan Da Niang and Ruan Er Niang hadn't gotten up yet.

Ruan Xiaoman was a little dissatisfied, it was a bit too much for Ruan Sanniang to prepare alone for such a large family.

But Ruan Sanniang didn't complain at all, and her low-eyed appearance made Ruan Xiaoman angry and had nowhere to vent.

The so-called breakfast is just white porridge and sweet potatoes, maybe they smelled the fragrance of white porridge and sweet potatoes, and Ruan Lady and Ruan Er Niang they got up one after another.

"Who told you to prepare so much white porridge and sweet potatoes?" Old woman Ruan came over and took a look at the morning, and immediately glared at Ruan Sanniang, a loser.

"I think they've been out for a night, and they'll be coming back soon, and I'm afraid they'll be hungry when they come back." Ruan Sanniang explained curtly.

"I won't necessarily come back, I couldn't sleep all night after such a quarrel last night, I was worried, and I only squinted for a while when it was almost dawn." Mrs. Ruan yawned, and pretended to inadvertently explain that for her late wake-up.

Ruan Xiaoman rolled her eyes, and Mrs. Ruan would believe what she said, looking at her energetic appearance, it seemed that she couldn't sleep all night.

The three daughters-in-law of the Ruan family are round and jade, and their chins are almost stacked arhats.

Ruan Erniang has a slender figure, which is just right if she is not fat or thin.

But Ruan Sanniang is really thin, she is still small, Ruan Xiaoman is a little worried about whether she will be as thin as Ruan Sanniang, she doesn't like that kind of figure.

Now she is also thinner, Ruan Xiaoman sighed, she hopes that she will gain a little weight.

Ruan Erniang listened to Ruan's words, and only smiled lightly.

Mrs. Ruan glanced at Mrs. Ruan, but she was much kinder than when she looked at Mrs. Ruan, "Hurry up and ask the children to come out for breakfast, one for each person, and keep the rest for Da Lang and them." ”

"Eh, I'm going to call them." Mrs. Ruan agreed, but she turned her head and asked Mrs. Ruan to call someone, while she stayed in the kitchen to distribute rations.

Mrs. Ruan is used to commanding people, and she is used to fooling people, saying that the girls don't eat much, and they are slim or something, and they are stunned to deduct the rations of their mother and daughter to fill their stomachs and those of her son.

Ruan Xiaoman really served Ruan Sanniang, and was stunned and endured it without saying a word, pitying her and Ruan Xiaoxia, both of whom were about to be starved to the bone.

As soon as she put it out earlier, Old Lady Ruan saw that her share of rations was not less, and she didn't care about their lives or deaths at all.

Ruan Xiaoman wanted to protest, but she was stopped by Ruan Sanniang, afraid that she would have a bad reputation or something.

is about to starve to death, no matter what the reputation does, Ruan Xiaoman still did not go against Ruan Sanniang's wishes in the end.

It's not because she doesn't want to resist, but because she can't even speak, so let's save it.

In fact, she once wanted to resist these unfair treatments, but when she heard that the little girl who was sold as a demon, she gave up.

The little girl just scolded her grandmother in order to save her biological mother who was about to be killed, and she probably often heard her grandmother say it.

Ruan Xiaoman was thinking that the courtyard door was pushed open, it should be Ruan Sanlang and they came back, so he hurriedly ate the sweet potato in his hand, and then ran out.

After running like this, Ruan Xiaoman, who was already indigestion, was almost choked by sweet potatoes.

Ruan Xiaoman patted her heart, tears came out, and then she gasped, but she didn't seem to see Ruan Sanlang's figure.

Ruan Sanniang also looked at Ruan Dalang and them stupidly, why was Ruan Sanlang missing?

"Where's Saburo?" Ruan Sanniang still asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Third uncle, he fell into the water." Ruan Baoxing said quickly.

Ruan Dalang pinched his son, he hadn't figured out how to explain this to Ruan Sanniang, why did he say it like this.

Ruan Sanniang's legs weakened when she heard this, and she couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, Ruan Erniang quietly helped her.

"My son, have you been rescued?" Old woman Ruan howled, trembling slightly, her cloudy eyes were a little confused, and she was actually asking Old Man Ruan.

Ruan Dalang shook his head sadly, not knowing what to say for a while.

The situation at that time was very chaotic, and it was only later that he learned that the person who fell into the water was Ruan Sanlang, and he couldn't do anything.
