At the door of the house, Jiang Sui looked at Xiang Baiwei, who chased her out to give her a coat, and glanced at the distance without a trace: "I may not be able to come back until late today, or you should not stay at home alone, Chi Kunli doesn't seem to have anything to do, you call her over and accompany you." ”

"I know, I'll go next door and ask later, and if she's free, I'll call her to accompany me."

Jiang Sui nodded, swallowed the worry in his heart, turned his head and rode away on his bicycle.

The time soon came to 2 p.m., and at this time, many villagers would take a nap in their homes because they were sleepy in the afternoon.

Because of this, the whole village seems a little too quiet.

Chi Kunli, who didn't have the habit of napping, looked at Xiang Baiwei who woke up: "Did you have a nightmare just now?" Look at you and look a little wrong. ”

Xiang Bai Wei rubbed the corners of her forehead tiredly, nodded and admitted: "I did have a nightmare just now, it's quite scary, my heart is still pounding." ”

"Don't think about it, it's just a dream, and if you can't sleep well, turn around and put the comb under the pillow, it is said to work. Haven't you been too tired lately, though? I see that your eyes are a little blue, I guess you don't have a good rest, that's why you have nightmares. ”

Chi Kunli looked at Xiang Baiwei, who was still awake, went to the outer room on the kang and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Drink a cup of hot water to wake up, and I'll show you the flowers I embroidered while you're asleep, I think this pattern is pretty good, this is still the flower style I learned from their packaging bag when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Chi Kunli said and handed over the freshly embroidered flowers in her hand.

Xiang Baiwei put the enamel cup aside, leaned over her head, and admired the tricks shared by Chi Kunli, and when the two were watching intently, the big dog in the yard suddenly barked very fiercely.

"What's the situation, is someone from your house here?"

Chi Kunli handed her the trick and got up to look outside, "But I didn't hear anyone knocking on the door?" ”

Xiang Bai Wei put down the things in his hand, and followed closely to the door of the house.

The black dog in the yard was howling fiercely in the corner, and if someone came, there would have been a knock on the door, or someone outside the door calling out to her.

And most importantly, if the person who came was a stranger, the black dog would definitely bark at the gate, and not into the corner, as is the case now.

This means that someone is indeed coming, and that person is in the corner.

Chi Kunli immediately reached out and grabbed Xiang Baiwei's arm: "Could it be whose cat is coming?" Sometimes dogs bark when they see cats. ”

"Whether it's a cat or not, I'll talk about it after watching it." Xiang Bai Wei patted her hand and comforted her, then turned around and took two big sticks from the house, and gave one of them to Chi Kunli, "This stick is for you, let's keep it for self-defense." ”

After speaking, Xiang Baiwei held the big stick tightly in his hand and boldly opened the door: "Who?" ”

Chi Kunli hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled her: "Don't talk, be quiet!" ”

It was too late for her to warn, and the black dog's barking stopped abruptly, still staring in the direction of the corner.

Ji Kunli and Xiang Baiwei glanced at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

After two minutes, Chi Kunli was the first to come back to her senses, and shouted at the courtyard next door with her voice shouting her eldest brother.

Chi Kunli's eldest brother's voice quickly came from the other side of the courtyard wall: "What's the matter?" ”

Chi Kunli was about to explain, when Xiang Bai Wei suddenly reached out and pinched the corner of her clothes, and then shook her head at Chi Kunli with a serious face.

Although she didn't understand the reason, Ji Kunli knew that she meant to keep herself quiet.

So Chi Kunli casually made an excuse and perfunctory the eldest brother on the other side of the yard, and then pulled Xiang Baiwei into the house: "What's the situation?" Although the two of us have strength, it will be more reassuring to call my eldest brother over! ”

"It's better to say goodbye, maybe it's just a cat, make a fuss, in case someone else knows, three or two passes, and then spread the matter to the deformation, when I want to explain, I don't know how to explain."

The deeper reason Xiang Bai Wei did not say.

Because she thought about it, the look in Xiang Shunqiang's eyes when he suddenly ran to greet her last week.

The worry in her heart, which had faded, resurfaced.

Outside the courtyard wall, like a dog to Shunqiang, he ran to the dilapidated house next to him in a panic.

When he arrived in the dilapidated room, Xiang Shunqiang sat down, gasping for breath and cursing in a low voice.

Obviously, he had confirmed it before, and there was only Xiang Baiwei in the family, when did this Chi Kunli come out?

If it weren't for Chi Kunli, he would have been able to succeed today.

It's all to blame on this person, and it's ruined his own good deeds.

After making this scene, Chi Kunli was worried about Xiang Baiwei, and waited until Jiang Sui came back in the evening before returning to her home.

As soon as Jiang Sui came back, he found that Xiang Baiwei's face was a little wrong, and when she was eating, she asked her uneasily: "What happened during the day today?" I see that you and Chi Kunli's faces are not very good-looking, and you are so absent-minded when you eat, what's wrong? ”

Let Bai Wei look up at him, hesitate for a while, and finally tell Jiang Sui what happened during the day.

Jiang Sui put the chopsticks on the table, got up with a cold look in his eyes, and went to the room to turn over the flashlight: "I'll go outside to see what's going on." ”

Xiang Baiwei sat in the room and waited anxiously.

Jiang Sui came back soon, he smiled and comforted Bai Wei: "It's okay, I just looked, there are marks that cats have crawled, and the black dog should have seen a passing wild cat during the day, so it barked so fiercely, don't be afraid, it's just a cat." ”

"It turned out to be a cat, it scared me to death," Xiang Baiwei breathed a sigh of relief in fear, because the dog barked so fiercely during the day, he never dared to go out again.

Although Chi Kunli also said that she wanted to go to see the situation, she was stopped by the frightened Xiang Baiwei.

After comforting Xiang Baiwei, Jiang Sui went back to the house and put the flashlight, turned around, and his face immediately changed.

He deceived Xiang Baiwei just now, and the traces on the outside were not cats, but human palm prints.

It was a person who caused the dog to bark during the day, but he just didn't know who it was, and the reason why he said it was a cat was to keep Xiang Baiwei from being afraid.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Jiang Sui went out under the pretext of having something to do, asked the militia platoon commander in the village to borrow a telescope, and then ran to the only flat building in the village, that is, the teaching building, stood on the roof, and observed the whole village with a telescope.

Two hours later, a sneaky figure entered Jiang Sui's line of sight.

That person is Xiang Shunqiang.
