In the deep night, with the presence of the moon, the stars have become dim.

The people in the room were restless and tireless, and the curtains were slightly floating in the night breeze, which did not affect the three Xiao family brothers on the terrace at all.

When Xiao Cang's sturdy body came out of the soft quilt, the moon had sunk in the west.

The mountain peaks, bamboo forests, fields, houses, fences, and haystacks of the village were still shrouded in the endless white hazy light gauze and thin silk, and he couldn't bear to wake up his daughter-in-law, who was sleeping peacefully, and quietly went back to his room to pack up simple clothes.

The three pairs of eyes on the terrace listened to the sound of the bedroom door closing softly, and they all sat up from the wooden stairs, and went down the wooden ladder next to the stable very tacitly.

Xiao Cang hung a simple cloth package on his right shoulder, walked down the attic, and happened to meet his three younger brothers coming in from outside.

And everyone's expressions were so tired, as if they hadn't slept all night, and their eyebrows were tightly locked, "Second brother, are you going to play outside for a night?" ”

Xiao Tuo walked into the main hall, his slender figure slowly stretched his waist towards the sky, and yawned: "Big brother is early, we played cards yesterday, and Ning'er played Laipi...... So I spent most of the night. ”

Hearing the second brother open his eyes and talk nonsense like this, Xiao Li, who finally walked into the main hall, blushed and didn't dare to look directly at the eldest brother's face, "Big brother, I'll go and steam the buns for you to bring, and Xiao Rong loaded a bamboo tube of bean paste for the eldest brother last night, saying that she wanted the eldest brother to take it to eat on the road." ”

"Fu'er is reluctant to let me leave ......" Xiao Cang put the package down, a bitter smile on his face.

"Of course Xiao Rongrong won't be willing to let you go, big brother, you are suddenly so far away from home! However, the eldest brother was conscripted as a government soldier this time, and I heard that the imperial court would transfer those who served to regularly stay in the capital or garrison; When the war is completed, "the soldiers are scattered in the government and will return to the court". We all hope that Big Brother will come home soon! ”

Xiao Ning's face changed, and he saw the sixth brother go to the kitchen, "I'll go and help the sixth brother steam steamed buns together." Big brother, wait-"

Leaving the second Xiao Tuo, he was very at a loss, especially when he saw the eldest brother's love for his daughter-in-law last night, and he was eager to eat his daughter-in-law in his stomach and take it away, he was very embarrassed, so he pointed outside, "Big brother, you first see if there is a change of clothes and you haven't brought it well, and then go upstairs to clean up,...... Well, I'm going to add some forage to Dustless. ”

“…… I'm going to see Dustless too. ”

Xiao Cang looked back at the quiet stairs above the attic, followed the second brother out of the house, and the two brothers walked to the stable, but saw that Ah San had already come down from the old mansion and was adding fodder to Wuchen.

"Ah San, it's really early, you can help me pull weeds in the paddy field today."

Ah San looked back at the two brothers of the Xiao family, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Xiao Cang walked slowly to the stable, "Last night, Ah San didn't play cards with the second brother?" Look at the energetic. ”

"Playing cards? I lived alone in the old house last night, how could anyone go up to play cards?! ”

Ah San didn't know that the three brothers of the Xiao family lied, and honestly accosted Xiao Cang.

"Second brother, you ......"

Xiao Cang was very surprised, and when he turned around, he saw the long wooden ladder next to the stable, and when he looked up, his eyes fell on the edge of the terrace. looked indifferently at the second brother who was embarrassed on the side, and his handsome face exuded a terrifying momentum.

"Big brother, that ...... Actually—"

"In the future, when I am not at home, you will be the eldest brother of my brothers! If anyone dares to ...... like last night? Penalize! ”

"I understand, big brother, it won't be like this in the future."
