Chapter 63: Beating the Doordog
When Lu Dashi was leaving, his eyes were so resentful and hateful, how could he not see the cherry?
Coming out of Yue Fu's house, cotton peach and cherry had just entered their yard, and they saw a few star fruit happily coming up. Star fruit smiled all over her face: "What's the matter?" Okay? Is it really that IOU that has been left behind? ”
"It's moving. Originally, the eight coins of silver told him to change it to eight taels. I gave him eight pieces of silver, took the IOU back, and burned it directly at my uncle's house just now. Without waiting for a few star fruit to be happy, Mian Tao followed up and said: "But let's not be happy too early, I don't think this Lu Dashi will give up." ”
"Huh? So what else can he do? "Star fruit has a lot of trust in the newly built brick-walled yard and has a sense of security.
"I'm afraid of making trouble at night." Mian Tao frowned slightly, while thinking, "We have to be careful tonight." ”
Is the third sister's head a human being? Cherry was a little surprised, she could even see this? But it just so happened that she was worried about how to tell her sisters about this. The third sister said it as soon as she said it, so she didn't have to explain. Because the words of the third sister have always worked, and the sisters also believe it completely.
However, Mian Tao is just a country girl doll who has just turned thirteen years old after all, although she can look at people's eyes and guess that Lu Dashi may come to find trouble, but she is helpless and doesn't know what to do. Do you have to let Yue Fu sleep in his own house tonight? Not to mention that there is no place to sleep, even if it is squeezed, what if Lu Dashi knows that Yue Fu is here, and people don't come? You can't ask Yue Fu to protect his sisters here all the time, right?
"What...... A precaution? "The cotton peach has no idea, and the star fruit naturally has no idea, and looks at the cotton peach with some fright. There are five sisters in the family, if they are thieves, how can they fight?
"I ...... I'll have to think about it, too. Cotton peach has always been the backbone of the family, and at this time she can't say that she doesn't know, so she has to deal with it like this, frowning and pondering.
"Prevent thieves, I have a way." Cherry moved out under a pretense: "I saw such a family in Beihu Village last time, and the family is also a mother and a few women, and the yard of her house, tsk, no matter how good the thief is, can't get in!" ”
"What's the matter? Tell me about it. As if grasping a life-saving grass, star fruit stepped forward and grabbed both arms of the cherry.
Cherry rescued her arm from the eldest sister's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest sister, this method will definitely work." We'll be fine tonight as long as we close the gate and put two more pieces of wood on top. Now, before it gets dark, let's just get as much bamboo and mud as we can, and then borrow a ladder. ”
The sisters didn't know why, but they did it anyway.
Cherry went to the next door and called Wenhe Wenhai to come over to help, and cut the bamboo back into bamboo stalks, and then broke them into pieces, about an inch of pieces, and then cut one end into a pointed one, lined up, one by one, with mud pasted on the big wall.
This is a very common way for modern people to use bungalows to prevent thieves, but generally use glass slag, and not mud, but cement. However, the resources of ancient times were limited, so it was the only way.
There are many sisters in the family, Wenhe Wenhai helped to make bamboo slabs into bamboo slabs, and a few sisters made bamboo slabs into small bamboo slabs described as cherries.
Then with the mud and the pasted wall, it was all made by Wenhe Wenhai stepping on a ladder.
After doing this, Cherry and Cotton Peach tied the remaining bamboo tips one by one on the mud floor under the wall, and when they had finished tying them, they asked the star fruit to dig out the large fishing net sewn up when the family caught the ducks, stretched it out, and placed it in the middle of the hall, so that the sisters could prop it up on the door frame of the main house before going to bed.
There are still some bamboos left, so that the rice peaches are all made into bamboo sticks, a total of four, one for each sister, and the walnuts are too small to count.
Wen Hai was still a little uneasy: "Yang'er, why don't I sleep here tonight?" In case you can't prevent these things after tossing for a long time, how can you little sisters fight for a big man? ”
Carambola shook her head and said, "Brother Wen Hai, there is no place for you to sleep at home." Besides, whether he will come or not is also our guess, if he doesn't come, won't he make you run for nothing? ”
"What's the matter if there's no place?" Wen Haihao patted his chest shuang: "I'll make a roll and sleep on the floor of the hall!" ”
"How can that be done?" Mian Tao also shook her head and denied: "It's freezing this day, how dare you sleep on the ground?" Don't look back, that person didn't come, not only did he tell you to lie in the cold all night, but what if you contracted the wind chill again? Brother Wen He is about to welcome his kiss now, you are his right-hand man, how dare you make a small mistake at this time? ”
Wen Hai was just about to refute, but Mian Tao continued: "Besides, these things we tossed, although I don't know if we can prevent them, they won't have no effect at all." Even if you can't prevent people, it should be okay to make a small movement, right? We are also vigilant when we sleep at night, and get up as soon as there is movement, and if we can't cope with it, we will immediately call you, so close, two steps away, what are you afraid of? ”
"However, I still don't feel at ease. I'm just a few sisters, Lizhen Lixia is not likable, and I hurt you the most. How can I see you in danger? I'll sleep here for one night, and the quilt is thicker, how can I still catch the cold? Wen Hai was stubborn, squatting on the ground and refusing to get up.
"I don't know how many quilts you have? You bring all the quilts to the ground, what does Brother Wenhe cover? Mian Tao stepped forward to Lawenhai: "You can't ask Brother Wenhe to sleep on the ground with you, right?" He is about to welcome his wife, do you want to ask the groom to drag his nose to meet our sister-in-law? Good brother, just hurry up, we have prepared so much, it will be fine. ”
Wen Hai was still stubborn on the ground and refused to get up.
Helpless, Wen He had no choice but to persuade: "You just hurry up, it's dark, why don't you call a few sisters to eat?" You're so worried, it's a big deal that the two of us will take turns sleeping tonight, and we'll come over as soon as there's any movement here, so you're always satisfied, right? ”
"That's okay...... Wen Hai reluctantly stood up from the ground, and emphasized to Mian Tao: "As soon as something happens, I will immediately shout at the top of my voice!" ”
"Definitely, definitely." Mian Tao laughed, the second brother always cares too much about the sisters, but it is very touching.
Cherry also has some feelings, Wen Hai really has nothing to say to the sisters. I really don't know if when he marries his wife and protects his sister like this, his wife will be jealous and unhappy. I'm really worried that if his wife is jealous, he will raise his fist to beat people. The second brother is a person with a bit of a mixed temperament, and he never fights about men and women, as long as he is unhappy, he will be beaten with his head. Even if people are thicker than him, stronger than him, and half a head older than him, they have to fight with others.
It was not easy to send Wenhe Wenhai away. As soon as they were gone, they closed the gate of the courtyard and held it tightly with two thick logs.
Then the sisters cooked on the fire as usual, and after eating and washing the dishes, they closed the door of the house, put the prepared fishing nets on it, and embroidered it with an oil lamp for a while, and then one of them fell asleep with a bamboo stick.
Cherry slept on the same kang with rice peach and walnut, she put the bamboo stick on the kang head, slept very lightly, and woke up to check whenever there was movement.
It was only the middle of the night, and there was movement outside the hospital.
Cherry hurriedly and quietly woke up Mi Tao and Walnut, let Walnut stay in the bed and stay honestly, the two sisters put on a dress, one went to the door to guard the operation of the fishing net, and the other went to the West House to wake up the star fruit and cotton peach.
When the sisters came to the hall, one of them clutched a bamboo stick and listened to the movement outside.
I only heard a muffled sound from the wall in the courtyard, and then, I heard the sound of Suo Suo entering the courtyard. I don't know if I avoided the bamboo tip under the wall or was pierced and gritted my teeth and didn't shout out, but when the sound reached the wall, there was nothing abnormal.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Cherry crumbled his nerves, and the bamboo tips at the head of the wall and under the wall didn't stop him, and now the victory or defeat was here. If the fishing net didn't catch him, he would have to quickly shout Wenhe Wenhai over with his throat.
With a 'squeak', the door was opened with a knife from the outside, and the silver moonlight rushed in and sprinkled on the ground. The sisters each clenched their bamboo sticks, and their nerves collapsed.
A lewd figure appeared in the moonlight and cautiously stepped into the room. Because the moonlight outside was bright, the house was very dark, and the poor light made this person unable to see the furnishings in the house for a while, plus the sisters were squatting in the corner, and they didn't see it for a while, thinking that it was not quiet. He took another step forward.
'Whoa'!! Cherry Eye was in a hurry, and ripped off the fishing net at once, just enough to cover the man. Mi Tao went up first and drank softly: "I can't beat you!" Then, the sticks of star fruit, cotton, peach and cherry, fell one after another.
The man in the net knew that he was deceived, but he didn't dare to shout, so he could only snort one after another, gritting his teeth and flipping the fishing nets on his body. I don't know how many sticks I received, but when I finally escaped from the net, the man jumped into the courtyard, and his body disappeared when he turned to the west of the door.
The sisters gasped and didn't dare to go out, quietly listening to the movement outside and climbing over the wall, and after a while, the outside was completely quiet, and then they dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'll go out and have a look." Cherry clenched the bamboo stick in her hand.
Mi Tao grabbed her: "How can I tell you to go?" You stay here, I'll go! ”
"Don't, second sister." Cherry pressed Mi Tao: "I have my own measure." In case that person doesn't leave, you still have to protect the eldest sister and the third sister. And the walnuts are still on the kang. As he spoke, he cautiously walked out of the room.
Seeing that Cherry had already stepped out, Mi Tao had no choice but to hold the bamboo stick tightly and carefully guard the door of the house.
The courtyard was quiet, and a thick rope hung on the west wall was still swaying back and forth. It seems that Lu Dashi came in along the rope and ran away along the rope, no wonder he didn't step on the bamboo tip under the wall.
Cherry stepped forward again, carefully came to the courtyard gate, removed the rough wood, opened the door, and prepared to go out to check it.
I didn't know that I just went out, but I was unprepared and was ambushed by a dark shadow outside the door, grabbed her neck with one hand, and covered her mouth tightly with the other, and at the same time there was a cold snort behind her.
There is an ambush!! Almost subconsciously, Cherry opened her mouth and bit down hard with a mouthful of sharp teeth.
