Chapter 116: The Robbers
Aunt Zhou called Chun Tao to the stove room, thinking that she wanted to ask about March's father, for fear that a few children would hear it. "How's March Daddy's doing? What did the doctor say? ā
March said it was nothing, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood. I don't know if I'm worried about March Dad, or I blame myself. ā
"Blame yourself?"
"Hmmm! It seems that March's father's injury has something to do with her, but she refuses to say. ā
Then she must be uncomfortable in her heart, and she has been blaming herself. You talk to Lamedo about her, and unravel her. ā
"Yes. By the way, there are a lot of traps and pits dug outside the wall in March, so don't walk outside the courtyard wall if you're fine. ā
"I know, Lamei told me just now. I just hope none of these traps will be used. ā
"I want it too! Just be prepared, don't worry, we've got you! ā
"Good! Mother doesn't worry about these anymore, but... Did you forget to drink this morning's medicine? ā
Chun Tao rolled her eyes and thought about it for a while, as if she had really forgotten. "I left in too much of a hurry."
"Look at your face is finally a little better, and the person is much better than before, which means that this medicine is useful, and you must not forget to drink it, you know?"
"Hmmm! I know, not next time. "If you are wrong, you will obediently admit your mistakes, Chun Tao is like this in front of Aunt Zhou.
"I'm going to stare at you and drink the medicine at noon." Mrs. Zhou pulled down her face, Chun Tao smiled flatteringly, Mrs. Zhou couldn't hold back, and immediately smiled.
By the time the trap was set up in March, Lamei and Chun Tao had already prepared their lunch. The four sisters and brothers had lunch at Zhou's house, and after the meal, Lamei stayed for March to chat.
"I heard Chun Tao say, we won't ask more about what you don't want to talk about. Since Uncle Zhao is fine, don't think about it. Take good care of them in September. ā
"I know." March's mood was still low, and he kept his eyelids down and looked at the ground.
"I can't help much, but if you're upset, you can talk to me more." For the silent March, Lamei could not adapt either.
"I'm fine, you stay here with Chun Tao, don't worry about me."
When March was in a low mood, Lamei smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't worry about you! You're so heartless, you don't need it. ā
"That's good." However, March just pulled the corners of her mouth and cried again.
Forget it, if you laugh, you don't laugh, and it's even more uncomfortable to watch. Lamei was also in the mood to joke, picked up the half-embroidered handkerchief and continued to embroider, only to look up at March from time to time to make sure she was still there.
March just sat there, head down. When Chun Tao came in, she didn't even raise her head.
Lamei frowned and looked at Chun Tao, and then at March.
"March." Chun Tao stepped forward and called softly, March still didn't respond, Lamei reached out to push her, but was caught by Chun Tao.
Chun Tao shook her head, squatted down to look at March, and found that she had her eyes closed tightly and was asleep. "I slept on, I guess I didn't sleep well last night."
"Then let's get out! Let her rest well. Lamei put down the needle and thread in her hand and followed Chun Tao out of the room.
"Woo~Woo~" Late at night, everyone in the Zhou family heard strange sounds.
"What sound?" Zhou Kuiruo woke up from his sleep, put on his coat and prepared to go out, Chun Tao also got up and followed him and put on his coat.
"Don't go, it's cold outside, you just get up, you'll catch a cold." Zhou Kuiruo stopped her.
"I'm not reassured." Zhou Kuiruo didn't know what the sound was, but Chun Tao knew that it was a wolf howl.
"Let's go!" Chun Tao pulled Zhou Kuiruo out, and when she arrived in the yard, she saw Lamei pulling Aunt Zhou and preventing her from going to the backyard.
"What's that sound?" When Aunt Zhou saw Chun Tao and Zhou Kuiruo, she immediately pulled Lamei to their side.
"No... It can't be..."Lamei also knew that there were two wolves in the backyard, and suddenly her heart was hanging, and she unconsciously let go of Aunt Zhou and hid behind Chun Tao.
"I'll take a look." Chun Tao patted Lamei's hand and walked to the backyard, and Zhou Kuiruo grabbed her hand. "Let's go."
As soon as the two of them crossed the hall, two shadows burst out of the backyard and knocked down Chun Tao.
"Lady." Zhou Kuiruo exclaimed, but he didn't have time to protect Chun Tao.
"Ahh As Chun Tao fell, she saw the two shadows that had fallen on her, the two wolf cubs.
"Whew~" The two wolf cubs screamed again, jumped off her body, and dragged her clothes out with their mouths.
"They..."Hearing the wolf howl, although Zhou Kuiruo was stunned, he didn't forget to pull Chun Tao up.
"Hmm~" Chun Tao looked at the wolf cub who had been dragging her, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Zhou Kuiruo uncertainly. "Are wolves more sensitive than human hearing? More alertness too? ā
"This..."Zhou Kuiruo was frightened by the fact that the two dogs were wolves, and ignored Chun Tao's question.
"Isn't it?" Chun Tao felt a little bad, and questioned Zhou Kuiruo loudly, making him wake up.
"Yes! So... So what are they aware of? Zhou Kuiruo also reacted, and ran out in a panic with Chun Tao.
"Let's go! Let's go! When I got to the front yard, I dragged Aunt Zhou again.
"Lamei, let's go!" Lamei was stunned and didn't move, Chun Tao had to let go of Zhou Kuiruo's hand and pull her. "Something seems to have happened."
As soon as the four of them went out of the gate, they heard a cacophony of voices, all of which were rough voices of men.
"It's... It'sā" Lamei heard the voice, and her legs went limp.
"Lamei! Come on! Chun Tao tugged hard at Lamei, not giving her a chance to think nonsense. Chun Tao dragged Lamei, and she couldn't run fast no matter how she ran.
Aunt Zhou can't run anymore, thinking about the road in the village, I'm afraid that with everyone's physical strength, I can't support it. "Let's hide in the bamboo forest next to it!"
"Good!" Chun Tao dragged Lamei and ran exhausted.
The four of them squatted low, observing the situation in the mansion, and the two wolf cubs squatted next to Chun Tao. The robbers lit torches and walked around the yard, probably rummaging through valuable things.
"There is nothing of value at home, you said that you would not find something and go to the village."
"Possibly." Zhou Kuiruo nodded, agreeing with Chun Tao's conjecture.
"I'll tell March." Chun Tao bowed down, intending to go to the village.
"It's too dangerous for you to be alone." Zhou Kuiruo pulled Chun Tao down.
"Yes! Let Quill go!. Aunt Zhou also disagreed.
"It's okay, I'm alone, it's convenient to hide. Xianggong is here to accompany his mother! Maybe it's even more dangerous here. ā
"Spring Peach!" Lamei grabbed Chun Tao and looked at her cautiously. "Can you tell my dad too?"
"Yes, but they may not believe me."
"Please."
Zhou Kuiruo squatted on the ground and whispered uneasily. "Be careful."
"Hmm!" Chun Tao bowed and shuttled through the bamboo forest, and the two wolf cubs followed behind him inch by inch.
As soon as he got out of the bamboo forest and confirmed that he would not be seen by the group of robbers, Chun Tao straightened up and ran desperately.
Lamei's house is relatively close to Zhou's house, and Chun Tao knocked on the door of Lamei's house hard. "Wake up, wake up, the robbers are coming, wake up!"
"Who! Big night nonsense, beware of Lord Yama grabbing and pulling out his tongue. A woman's voice, presumably Lamei's sister-in-law, scolded, and the houses of several surrounding families also lit up.
Chun Tao didn't care whether they believed it or not, turned around and ran to March's house. "March, March! Wake up! The robbers are coming. ā
"Who?"
Several people around the family also heard their voices. "It's a big night, what a noise!"
"Spring peach?" March opened the door and saw her two wolf cubs. "What do you say? How did they come out? ā
"Leave that alone, those robbers are in my house, and I'm afraid they'll come down. After all, there is nothing valuable at home. ā
"What about Lamei? You okay! "March's clothes haven't been put on yet, and while putting on the clothes, I asked Spring Peach.
"Hiding in the bamboo forest, I really can't run."
"Okay, you help me watch the September them, I'll go and inform the people in the village."
"Be careful yourself." Closing the door of March's house, Chun Tao immediately entered September's room.
