After dinner, except for Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo, the rest of the people stayed in Aunt Zhou's room. I didn't leave until I went to bed.

The events of the day were hovering in everyone's minds, and everyone was sleeping restlessly. Finally, it was dawn, and almost at the same moment, everyone got up.

"You're all awake?" Chun Tao's movements were the fastest, and she was already washing rice in the stove room, ready to boil some porridge.

Lamei took out the flour and began to knead the dough to make steamed buns. "I'm scared all night, and I can't sleep well."

"What about October?"

"I also woke up, tossing and turning at night, and I was also worried."

"After eating, I'll take them home, and you can help me take care of the house."

"Go with confidence! I can't get out, you... You help me comfort and comfort March. Lamei smiled very reluctantly.

Chun Tao saw through Lamei's thoughts. "Okay, don't think about it, March knows your situation and won't blame you."

The two ended the conversation, concentrated on preparing breakfast, and after eating, Chun Tao went back with October and Layue.

"Hasn't Daddy come back yet?" The door of March's house is closed, and the noisy yard is very quiet on weekdays.

"Your second sister should be back, knock on the door and take a look." The hospital won't let so many people accompany them, and they should have been driven back by March Niang.

Layue knocked on the door and shouted a few times, and September's weak voice came from inside. "Who's coming?"

"Fourth sister! It's us. October and Layue shouted in unison.

As soon as the door opened in September, October and Layue surrounded her and asked, "Fourth sister, how is your father, is it better?" ”

"Is Daddy back?"

"Go in first." Chun Tao closed the door, and at this time, March came out of the room.

"You're back?"

"March?" Chun Tao looked at her with a frown.

October and Layue immediately evacuated from September's side, stepped forward to hug March, and asked nonsense. "Second sister, when will my father and mother come back? Is Dad better? ”

"Second sister..."

The two children pestered March, and Chun Tao walked to September's side and touched her head. "Tired?"

September Yaoyao said: "I'm not tired, but the second sister is in a bad mood and didn't eat all day yesterday." ”

Chun Tao pressed two fingers between her eyebrows, "Don't frown." ”

"Sister Chuntao, you persuade the second sister!"

"She said yesterday that your father was injured because of her, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, I just know that my father was injured on the mountain, and the second sister followed my father back and kept crying."

Chun Tao rubbed the bridge of her nose and saw the smoke wafting from the chimney. "Haven't eaten breakfast yet?"

"Not yet, the second sister has just gotten up, and I've just done it."

"It's hard work, you set the meal ready, I'll bring her to eat later."

"Hmmm! I'll go right away. September smiled and nodded, his worried heart calmed down a little. Chun Tao came to March's side and took the two children away to help.

"Don't be discouraged, tell me, what's going on?"

March kept her head down and remained silent. "If you don't want to say it, forget it. But you're an older sister, and your sister needs to worry about you and take care of you, is it appropriate? ”

March still doesn't speak. "They are still young, they are afraid not to say anything, but they are still worried about you, do you want your father and mother to be more worried?"

mentioned March Dad and March Mother, March finally had a reaction. "I don't want to."

"Then you cheer up, take care of the family, and make up for your mistakes."

March looked up, her eyes glinting. "Can it really be made up?"

Looking at March's lifeless appearance, Chun Tao suddenly thought of a possibility. "March Dad's leg, can't it be cured?"

"No, Dr. Yang said that it was delivered in a timely manner and handled well, so it will not fall to the root of the disease, but I will have to stay in the hospital for a few more days."

"Then you take good care of your family, you can make up for it."

"Good!" March suddenly found the motivation and walked quickly into the big house.

I don't know what happened, so she didn't want to talk about it. Chun Tao stared at March's back, a little worried about her.

When Chun Tao went in, March was already eating. Gobbled it up, choked after a while, and October hurriedly poured her a glass of water.

"In March, I have something I want you to help me with." Taking advantage of the March dinner, Chun Tao explained her intentions.

"Say it! You've done my family a great favor, and I'll do what you ask me to do. ”

"Needless to say, your family has helped me a lot. I want to get some traps and traps outside the courtyard walls. ”

March's tone suddenly became hesitant. "Why do you want to get this all of a sudden? It's too dangerous, so it's better not to. ”

"Xianggong said that several nearby villages have been looted by robbers, and I am worried that they will come to our village."

"Oh! You're out there, so you do need to take some precautions. March's tone of voice was not as good as before, and she was a little cringe, and she didn't even give Chun Tao a look.

"If you're embarrassed, forget it." Chun Tao thought that she was still worried about her March father, and she was not in the mood to do things, so she didn't think much about it.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'll go after eating."

"Don't worry, you can rest and talk about it."

"It's fine!" When March said this, he said no more, and the only sound left in the house was the sound of March and September eating.

October and Layue looked at each other, not very used to the taciturn second sister in front of them.

"Do you want my help?" After breakfast, March came to Zhou's house with his usual tools for making traps.

"I'd like to figure out how to get it!" March stood on the side of the mansion and looked. "Why don't you dig a big hole to the left, right and back! If someone really comes, they can stop it for a while. ”

"Okay, then I'll help dig it?"

"I'll help too."

"I want it too."

"And me." Several children followed, not leaving, clamoring for help.

Lamei also came out to join in the fun. "Plus me."

"However, there were not enough shovels, so I took two. Or, dig with a hoe? ”

"It's okay, I have it at home, I'll get it." Chun Tao did not refuse the children's help, and the uneasiness in her heart could only be reduced by arranging traps.

After taking the tools, the position was set in March. "Take five steps out of the wall and dig out from here. Once you've dug it, remember to mark it, or you'll fall it yourself. ”

"Good! In September and October, Layue followed Lamei, and I was alone. Chun Tao allocated a few people.

"Let's start digging on the left in September and October! Dig it and go back inside, don't go outside. Chun Tao, you have to talk to Aunt Zhou and Brother Zhou. Do not walk outside the courtyard walls. ”

"Hmmm! Yes. ”

In this way, a group of people arrived at the designated place with their respective tools and began to dig the pit in full swing.

March is the busiest when a person is around, laying all kinds of traps.

Chun Tao dug and dug the pit too deep, and he couldn't get out by himself. If it weren't for the fact that March happened to be nearby and heard her cry for help, it is estimated that she would have stayed inside until dark before anyone would find out.

March pulled Chun Tao out and finally smiled at her grizzled face. "What a fool you are, how could you... Ha ha! Didn't you think about how you came out? Ha ha! ”

March leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and Chun Tao looked at her smile, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"I just forgot about it." Chun Tao began to sprinkle leaves to camouflage the pit, "How many more traps do you have to do?" ”

"Do more later, and do more on the right, and that's it. However, you dug such a deep, such a big hole, I can lay out fewer traps in the back. March's troubles were forgotten for a while, and he began to laugh at Chun Tao.

Looking at March, who was finally happy, Chun Tao could only Yaoyao and not talk back to her. "You better do what you want! How useful a pit can be. ”

"I'll just say casually, are you serious? You're sparsely populated, and the more traps you have, the safer you are. ”

"Would you like to take a break?"

"No, I'll finish it quickly, don't you worry?" It was the first time in March that she was so serious, which made Chun Tao look very uncomfortable.

"Good! Then I'll go back first. ”

"Hmmm! Go inside! ”

"Good!" When Chun Tao returned to the yard, the rest of the digging staff were already resting.

Just now, a few people hurriedly began to set traps, and Aunt Zhou didn't ask clearly. Seeing Chun Tao coming in, Aunt Zhou called her over.
