After the needle was finished, Zhang Lao didn't have to stay long, and after instructing Cai Jianguo a few words, he went home, Cai Jianguo was not at ease, so he went to send him back to the village.

After Chen Lianhua was busy in the kitchen, she stewed two bowls of beef heart soup, one bowl for Cai Jun to drink, and one bowl to the back room, put it on the kang table, took off her apron, wiped her hands, and looked at Zhang Wenfeng.

"Alas, if it weren't for the army, how dare she sit by the well alone in the middle of the night, she is the least afraid of the dark, and it is also said that this kind of thing cannot be accompanied by outsiders, it really hurts her."

Chen Lianhua raised her hand to take the hot towel handed by Cai Jun, wiped Zhang Wenfeng's face, looked at her haggard face, and couldn't help sighing.

"Thankfully, people are okay, thank goodness."

Cai Jianguo doesn't ask for anything now, you look forward to your daughter-in-law and son being properly and nothing wrong.

"Okay, I don't see anything going on, I'll go back first, Dani is sleeping at home by herself, she can't see the two of us when she wakes up, it's time to be afraid."

Chen Lianhua was worried about her daughters in her heart, looking at them one by one frightened, she didn't dare to let Dani be at home alone, this was because she saw that Zhang Wenfeng's condition was serious, and her own daughter came over when she fell asleep.

"Let's go back, it's not too early, it's hard to be busy for so long a day, I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy something for you by the way."

"I said, we have been neighbors for so many years, and the two families are like a family, and this is said to be outside, if you buy something tomorrow, from now on, if there is something at home, your eldest brother and I will never help again, look at you, it's true."

Cai Jianguo's words made Chen Lianhua's face unhappy, she was helpful and never wanted anything else, not to mention Zhang Wenfeng, they were like sisters.

"Okay, then I'm not polite, you can go back, don't wait for Dani to wake up."

Cai Jianguo nodded, looked at Chen Lianhua and smiled twice.

"Okay, I'm leaving, if you have something, call me and the big country." He didn't stay long, put down the towel and went out of the yard.

Looking at Cai Jun sitting on the edge of the kang table, Cai Jianguo walked over, touched his head, and didn't say anything, he was in a complicated mood at this time, and he couldn't say anything.

"Dad, does my mom kill cows too?"

Cai Jun turned his face sideways and looked at Cai Jianguo, he knew in his heart that he and his mother were frightened, but he didn't know if his mother would be able to see strange things.

"No, you and your mom will be fine tomorrow."

Although Cai Jianguo said it plainly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the cattle were all killed by his son, and there were no more cattle in the family.

"Really?"

"Really, good, drink all the soup, drink it and sleep tomorrow."

Cai Jianguo touched Cai Jun's head and comforted him softly.

Hearing this, Cai Jun threw the spoon aside, took a big gulp of the bowl, and when he put down the bowl, there was not a drop of beef heart soup left in it, and he hiccuped.

"Dad, I'm not sleepy, I'll wait with you for my mother to wake up."

Cai Jun leaned on Cai Jianguo's arms and rubbed it, found the most comfortable position, and held Cheng Qian's hand, his father's arms have always been the most secure place, and his mother's arms are the warmest place, at least in Cai Jun's heart.

It didn't take long for Cai Jianguo to hear Cai Jun's snoring and chuckle twice, this kid just said to wait with him, and after such a while, he fell asleep.

"Tonight, you'll be able to sleep soundly."

Cai Jianguo hugged Cai Jun, put it aside, covered the quilt, patted it a few times, and whispered that since he fell into the well, he has not slept peacefully for a day, and he cries in the middle of the night, maybe he doesn't know this.

Zhang Wenfeng woke up a few times at night before feeding her the beef heart soup, even if she lay down, she kept babbling in a daze, and Cai Jianguo didn't sleep well all night.

Hearing the sound of chickens, Cai Jianguo rubbed his temples, got up and got dressed, looked at his wife and children who were sleeping soundly, and got up to make breakfast for them.

"Cai Jianguo, how is your daughter-in-law?"

When the village chief heard about this, he didn't even eat in the morning, so he waited at the door to ask about the situation.

"It's okay, village chief, when did you come?"

Cai Jianguo went out and watched the village chief squatting on the stone at the door outside his house, and there were seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.

"It didn't take long, didn't I hear that I was frightened, I didn't feel at ease when I thought about it, so I came over to take a look, you are afraid that you can't work alone, by the way, what kind of help is there to squeak, don't take me as a cadre as a village chief, I'm still your brother."

took the last puff of the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, looked at Cai Jianguo and said with a smile.

Cai Jianguo sighed with a smile, touched his head and was happy.

"Yo, this isn't the village chief?"

Chen Lianhua, who came out to hug Chai He, saw the village chief, took a bundle of Chai He with his arm and walked over to this side.

"What is the village chief doing here this morning, to help Cai Jianguo cook?"

Chen Lianhua is kind-hearted, but she is also famous for her fast mouth and love to joke.

The village chief got up, patted the cigarette ash on his body, waved his hand, and told her to do what she should do.

Chen Lianhua pursed her lips, and just about to say something, Cai Jianguo took over the conversation, for fear that she would cause trouble, so she quickly explained: "Ah, that's the case, the village chief is afraid that I can't work alone, let's see if there is anyone who can help?" ”

"That's the case, the village chief is really a bodhisattva, a good cadre of the country, and knows how to do things for you." Chen Lianhua's tall hat was taller than the other, Cai Jianguo was smiling beside him, and the village chief was indeed uncomfortable.

"Oh, okay, okay, let's cook your food, yours everywhere."

The village chief looked at Chen Lianhua with a reluctant face, and said very politely.

"By the way, Cai Jianguo, didn't Elder Zhang say yesterday that your daughter-in-law and your son have to drink pig heart soup, you take care of two people and don't have time to go to the market, the village chief has time, right, the village chief?"

Chen Lianhua turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered this incident, stopped and turned to look at the two of them and said.

"No, no, when I eat, I'll ...... myself"

"Okay, don't go, take good care of the two of them at home, I'll do the pig's heart, and you Chen Lianhua, live in the east and west courtyards, don't patronize and play tricks, real knives and guns to help and foil."

After speaking, the village chief glanced at Cai Jianguo, his eyes were complicated, and he walked back with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing here, you see that the village chief is angry."

Cai Jianguo watched the village chief walk away, looked at Chen Lianhua and sighed, and said with a worried face.

"It's okay, I just want to see if he's really here to help, you hurry up and pick up the ashes, I'm going to cook."

Chen Lianhua looked at the broken dustpan in Cai Jianguo's hand and said a word, turned her head and hugged Chai He and entered the courtyard.

"This tiger girl, really."

Cai Jianguo whispered, knocked the broken dustpan against the wall a few times, and turned into the yard.

After living for more than 30 years, the number of times he went to the kitchen can be counted on one hand, he used to have parents, and later married a daughter-in-law.

Zhang Wenfeng is a person who doesn't like men to go into the kitchen, every time he says to come to help, he is thrown out, to the maximum, sitting on the edge of the stove and adding firewood, this is really cooking by himself, and I really don't know where to start.

Holding the water scoop, looking at the messy kitchen, scratching his head and sighing.

Cai Jun's bowl of soup was at the bottom, Cai Jianguo came back, saw Chen Lianhua sitting in the house, washed his hands and hurried in.

"Tell me about the two of you, how can you throw Wenfeng at home alone, what's really wrong, what should you do!"

Chen Lianhua looked at Cai Jianguo, her nose was not a nose, her face was not a face, in her heart, Zhang Wenfeng was her sister-in-law.

Cai Jianguo squeezed his nose, raised his hand to wipe his hands with the towel hanging on the door, sighed and said: "Something happened to the old Zhou family, isn't it in a hurry, I didn't have time to call you, so I followed him directly." ”

"What's wrong?"

Chen Lianhua looked at Cai Jianguo's solemn expression, and began to worry in her heart.

"The pigs of the old Zhou family are all dead."

"All dead?"

Chen Lianhua stood up from the kang in surprise and walked to Cai Jianguo's side, her brows furrowed deeply.

Cai Jianguo nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Didn't you see that scene, two circles of eighteen pigs, all of them died, Lao Zhou's daughter-in-law fainted three times, and now she is still lying on the kang and can't get up." ”

Chen Lianhua is the most idle on weekdays, and suddenly when she heard this, she couldn't speak, let alone eighteen pigs, even one pig, and it is worth raising it until the New Year, but now they are all dead when they are half old, this is not a human life.

"Swine fever?"

Chen Lianhua's tone was also full of pity, looking at Cai Jianguo and asking about the situation.

"No, it's the hand of the old Geng head in the east courtyard of his house, I don't know when the two of them formed a feud, the old Geng asked his wife to make a pot of dumplings, put rat poison in it, and fed it all to his pigs."

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, squatted under the edge of the kang, and smoked one by one.

"How can there be such a thing?"

Chen Lianhua's eyebrows tightened, she glanced at Zhang Wenfeng on the kang, turned her head and looked at Cai Jianguo again and said: "You look at Dianwenfeng, if you wake up, let her drink the soup, I will go home first, tell your eldest brother, and see if the old Zhou family can help." ”

"You watch at my house, my eldest brother can't help alone, I'll go with him, I'm worried that no one will come back at home, I'm relieved to see you here."

Cai Jianguo stood up, knocked the soil in his shoes, and walked out.

Chen Lianhua sat listlessly on the kang and kept sighing.

"Eighteen pigs are gone, it's a pity, this old Gengtou is really a sin, what kind of hatred can't be said well, if you have to harm the pigs, this is not to kill others."

Cai Jun watched Chen Lianhua sitting on the kang and muttering, didn't say anything, walked to the outhouse with the bowl, thought for a while, and ran out.

called Cai Dani together and ran towards Zhou Zhiwu's house.

Before he arrived at his house, he heard crying, Cai Dani stopped, a little timid, and grabbed Cai Jun's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, let's go and see, he must be very sad that so many pigs have died in his house." Cai Jun looked at Cai Dani and comforted softly.

Cai Dani is also a sensible child, she understood what Cai Jun meant, nodded, and followed him towards the yard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Cai Dani was frightened, and she cried when she hugged Cai Jun.

Cai Jun looked at the pigs all over the ground, covered in blue and purple, lying on the ground horizontally, and his heart was also fluttering.

"What are you two doing here, hurry up and go home!"

Hearing Cai Dani's cry, Cai Jianguo hurriedly walked out, carried one in one hand, and carried them outside the gate.

Originally, he was about to go back when he pulled his legs and broke free, but when he heard Ma Huan's words, Cai Jun froze and turned to look at Ma Huan.

"What do you say, the cow I killed?"

Asking this, Cai Jun's mind flashed those images again, a snake, a person, and a cow...... Then he shook his head again and again, desperately stepped back, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

"No, no, it's not me, it's not me, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!"

Cai Jun's voice was higher than the other, and Chen Lianhua in the startled room ran out, thinking that there was nothing else, so she lit the oil lamp at the door, watched Cai Jun squatting on the ground and crying, and hurriedly hugged him.

"Junzi, Junzi, what's wrong?"

Chen Lianhua grabbed Cai Jun's shoulder and shook it a few times, Cai Jun still cried and shouted, and the people next to him didn't know that it would be like this, so they were directly stunned by the side.

"The child is not afraid, the child is not afraid, the aunt is here!"

Chen Lianhua watched Cai Jun cry silently, and directly held him in her arms, hugged his back with one hand, touched his head with the other, and comforted him softly.

"Mom, what's wrong with Cai Jun?"

Cai Dani ran out, looking at Cai Jun's appearance, she was also stunned.

"Ma Huan, you quickly take Dani to find Cai Jun's father and Cai Dani's father, and ask them to hurry home and say that there is something wrong with Junzi."

Chen Lianhua maintained her original posture, quietly hugged Cai Jun, raised her head and looked at the two children who were stunned next to her and said.

Ma Huan pulled Cai Dani and ran out, Chen Lianhua patted Cai Jun's back, it still didn't work, he kept crying and talking nonsense in his arms.

"Don't come here, don't come here, auntie, you call him away, quickly!"

Cai Jun suddenly struggled in his arms and pointed to the darkness not far away.

Chen Lianhua looked in the direction he pointed, and there was nothing, but Cai Jun still kept talking, waving his hand and slapping in that direction.

"Who's there, come out!"

Chen Lianhua thought that she couldn't see clearly, so she yelled loudly, and there was a dead silence all around for a long time, and there was no movement.

"Auntie, he's coming, he's coming!"

Cai Jun struggled more and more, Chen Lianhua was also frightened by him at this time, hugged him with one hand, swallowed saliva involuntarily, picked up the top door stick next to him, and his hands began to tremble.

"Whoever is there, come out quickly, don't scare the children, this is a village where the lights are blind, don't scare people."

Chen Lianhua's voice was much weaker than just now, Cai Jun in his arms was dancing, and it took a little effort to catch him, not to mention that he had to listen to him say that there was someone over there, Chen Lianhua's back was soaked with sweat.

"Junzi, Lotus."

Hearing Cai Baoman's voice, Chen Lianhua instantly breathed a sigh of relief, watching Cai Baoman and Cai Jianguo come back with their two children, Chen Lianhua gasped for breath.

Cai Jianguo hugged Cai Jun and asked for a while, but there was no result.

Chen Lianhua threw herself directly into Cai Baoman's arms, and she was really scared just now.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Cai Baoman hugged Chen Lianhua tightly, touched her hair, and dropped a kiss on the top of her head.

"Junzi, look, I'm a father and a son."

Cai Jun's crying eyes were almost open, looking at Cheng Qian, still pointing in that direction and saying what he just said.

Cai Baoman listened to Cheng Xiaodong's words, walked over directly, turned around inside and out, and didn't see a single figure, not even a cat.

"Ahhhh

Cai Jun shouted like a broken voice and jumped up directly.
