The second tiger cried and cried and didn't want to leave, and was slapped by Xia Zhu, and the second tiger cried even more sadly.

Xia Li went into the house and took out a set of silk caftan made for him. said, "You're going to study at a private school in the spring, and this is what my sister did for you." ”

A small brown-red kaftan with a neckline and cuffs trimmed with brown silk, even a brown belt ready, and a matching small purse.

Erhu took the little robe and smiled, and followed his father very obediently.

After dinner, Zhu Er took Rhubarb to patrol the courtyard and the bamboo forest, and went out with a woodcutter after sending the dog back. Tonight he will patrol the village with other village soldiers, with 10 patrols during the day and 20 at night.

In the courtyard, Xia Li also led people to decorate it. On the side of the courtyard wall was a circle of small stones soaked in oil, and in some places a thin rope was pulled, and if the rope was pulled away, a dustpan would fall from the eaves of the main house and the west wing, and several stones were loaded in the dustpan.

Zhu Er's family also lived in the west wing, and iron and lime powder were placed in the room.

He also warned the two children that they were not allowed to go out of the house at night, for fear of stepping on the mechanism. Rhubarb was not so clever and tied it with a rope, and the length of the rope could not reach those places.

While guessing that the bandits won't be stupid enough to come back these days, it's still just in case.

When sleeping, Xia insisted on sleeping on Xia Ju's couch, and Xia Ju still insisted on sleeping there.

Looking at Dangdang beside him, as well as Xia Shi and Xia Ju outside the house, Xia Li's heart was warm.

Xia Li was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. After so long, she has always felt that she was born in the Taiping era, living a peaceful and peaceful life, and only thinking about farming and doing business with local owners. Even if Mrs. Xia and Xiao Yang's Shier find some bad luck, they don't think it's a big deal. Unexpectedly, some bandits actually hit her with the idea, and she almost passed by the "Lady of the Zhai......

At midnight the next day, before dawn, the cold stars twinkled in the sky. When Zhu Er's family got up, she first took off the "mechanism" ropes in the yard, and when Zhu Er came back, she took down those stones.

Xia Shi also got up quietly, put on his clothes in the dark, opened the door and went to the kitchen.

Xia Li didn't sleep well at night, he was sleeping soundly at this time, and he wasn't woken up by the footsteps outside.

After a while, Dangdang and Xiongxiang both opened their eyes. Their biological clock is very accurate, and this is the time to go to the backyard vegetable patch to pull poop.

Xiong Xiang is a little confused, isn't my sister already going to the backyard at this time? She's still sleeping today.

Its two hind legs were clamped tightly, for fear that it would not be able to hold back and pull the poop in the basket.

When Dangdang patted Xia Li with another uninjured front hoof, Xia Li came to his senses.

It was still dark outside the window, and there were already footsteps in the yard.

Xia Li got up and got dressed, hugged Dangdang to the backyard, and followed behind by the bear. After they were solved and wiped their butts, Xia Li walked back with Dangdang in his arms.

As soon as he turned to the front yard, he heard Xia Ju crying "sister, mother", and then saw him running out barefoot in his middle coat and pants. When he woke up, he found that his sister and mother were not there, and he thought something had happened to them, and he was terrified.

Xia Li hurriedly said, "It's a cold day, go back quickly." ”

Xia ran out of the kitchen, picked up Xia Ju and said, "Run out like this, what should I do if it's cold." ”

Xia Ju cried, "Why don't you wake me up when you go out, I'm afraid." ”

Xia Li said, "We didn't leave the yard, so we didn't call you." ”

Xia Ju wiped her tears and said, "My sister has to call me when she goes out, and she is not allowed to go out of the yard." ”

Xia Li had to promise, "Okay." ”

After returning to the house, Xia Li put Dangdang on the bed, and went over to dress Xia Ju and comb his hair.

Before breakfast, I wish the second to come back. He took down the two dustpans from the eaves of the house with a ladder, and when he had eaten, he went back to the house to rest.

Today, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, and even the wind brings a little warmth. Winters in Xiangjiang Province are mostly cloudy, and there are very few such good days.

The good weather didn't make people feel good, and Xia Li and a few people nested in the house, and they didn't even open the courtyard door.

At the end of the day, the weather was a little warmer again. Xia Li discussed with Xia Ju, on such a good day, take Dangdang out to bask in the sun. It has been nesting in the house, upset.

Xia Ju, who was sitting at the door as a door god, looked at the white sunlight outside, and heard the voices of acquaintances talking and walking outside the courtyard, and nodded in agreement.

Dangdang, bear-like, and rhubarb lay on the mat in the middle of the yard, basking in the warm sun, so comfortable that their eyes should not squint.

The comfortable appearance of two dogs and one bear infected Xia Ju, and he called Zhu Cai from the east courtyard to come over to smoke a mule to play, and there was finally laughter in the small courtyard.

Xia Li looked at them for a while, and was about to go to the backyard, she wanted to see the mountains.

Xia Ju saw that his sister was about to leave his sight, and hurriedly followed.

Xia Li had to point to the side of the main room and said, "I'm standing there, you can see me." ”

Standing there, you can also see the rolling mountains.

Winters in the south are far less intense and bleak than in the north. The mountains are still green, but the green is much more sparse, not as green and flowery as in spring and summer, nor as rich and colorful as autumn, mixed with many dead branches and grasses, and many boulders and loess are exposed.

Suddenly, she saw several beautiful sunbirds on that peak. They flutter their beautiful wings and flick their long tails to fly, sometimes high and sometimes low, which is very beautiful.

And she can't go into the mountains now, and she doesn't have the heart to go into the mountains.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a knock at the courtyard door. Xia Ju immediately became vigilant, ran to the door and asked, "Who?" ”

Xia Shan's voice outside the door, "Ju boy, it's me." ”

The third uncle is a military master who specializes in fighting bandits, and when he comes, his family will be safer. Xia Ju was very happy, quickly opened the door, and said aggrievedly, "Third uncle, there are bandits in my house." ”

Xia Li's intuition was not good, and he shouted, "Don't panic and open the door." ”

But the door was opened.

Xia Li froze in place, unable to move. She knew that this day would come, but she never wanted to think about how to face it.

Behind Xia Shan, Ye Feng, Ye Li, Ye Jin, and Zhao Liang followed, and several of them were wearing military uniforms and weapons, and they were about to go to the battlefield.

Ye Li and Ye Jin each led a big dog, one was a Yanshan wolf dog, which looked similar to Dangdang. The other one is even more terrifying, like a Tibetan mastiff, called a dog in this time and space.

As soon as Ye Feng came in, his eyes were staring at Dangdang. After a moment, two words came out of his thin lips, "Huzi!" ”

Hearing Ye Feng's call, Dangdang actually raised his head stupidly, looked at him, and then looked back at Xia Li, throwing out his tongue and not knowing what to do.

The two big dogs that came with him seemed to know Dangdang, and ran over to Dangdang's body and licked its fur. The bear on the side was frightened, and he trembled and ran to Xia Ju's side as fast as he could. The brave rhubarb barked at them, and the two dogs were about to bite it, so Zhu Cai hurriedly pulled it to the east courtyard.
