It's August now, and the night is cold and cold, and the three people who were tied to the persimmon tree have all been stripped of their shirts, and the ropes on their bodies have been strangled into the flesh, making them feel a pain in their hearts when they struggle slightly.

However, these flesh and skin sufferings are not as good as the panic in their hearts, it is an instinctive fear of the unknown, they thought that this trip was nine out of ten, even if they miscalculated, they could get out of the way, who would have thought that they would end up in a nest, and after beating half dead, they would not ask or judge, as if their words were useless.

Who are the useless people?

O dead man!

The three of them are remorseful and afraid at the moment, they would rather Xu Huaiyi yell, scold, punch and kick them angrily, than this silent ignorance, this kind of ignorance makes them feel like ants and can be disposed of at will.

"Woo ......"

In the darkness of the night, their voices fluttered in the wind, and no one knew them.

In the east room, Xu Huaiyi cleaned up the bloodstains at the scene of the fight, carried an oil lamp, and walked around the front yard, but did not find anything abnormal, so he simply washed up and lay down on the kang.

He slept strongly between Gu Huanxi and Gu Xiaoyu, using his strong body to separate the two.

Gu Xiaoyu, "......"

He was already numb.

However, because the two were a little close, such an intimate distance made him somewhat uncomfortable, his body subconsciously lay straight, and his breathing was light.

Xu Huaiyi didn't have this burden, he hugged his daughter-in-law's waist very calmly, and asked softly, "Were you scared just now?" ”

Gu Huanxi shook his head, "I'm just a little worried, in case I miss......"

Xu Huaiyi cut off her words and swore solemnly, "It's impossible to miss, for you and my daughter, I don't dare to take it lightly at this time, make that kind of low-level mistake, as long as I think of the two of you behind me, I will never allow myself to have the slightest mistake and sloppiness, don't worry, I will definitely be able to protect you." ”

Gu Huanxi said "um", although he has many obvious shortcomings, which makes her often want to hit people angrily, but at a critical time, he really hasn't dropped the chain once, reliable and down-to-earth, and can give her a sense of security.

"Besides, then scumbag, if I plant them in their hands, I will survive......" Just thinking that he was reliable, he couldn't help but his tail, "You didn't see it just now, I only used a few tricks to clean them up, all of them are weak like little chickens, they can't resist my kick, just this little ability, how can you have the face to steal things?" It's a death. ”

"Did you go under the knife?"

"Well, I didn't know their details at first, how dare I underestimate them? I have to take a fighting posture, who wants them to be so rubbish, they can't dodge with a knife, I still have some strength, otherwise, his arm will have to be cut off on the spot. ”

There was suspicion and disdain in Xu Huaiyi's tone, but there was no fear or worry, as if cutting people was commonplace, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.

Gu Xiaoyu's mind was complicated when he listened.

Gu Huanxi was not as big as him, and asked, "Are those people from our village?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said, "There is one of them, but the other two don't know each other." ”

Gu Huanxi couldn't help frowning, "Then I'm afraid there will be some trouble tomorrow." ”

If people from other villages come to steal and get caught, it is not a big problem to be disabled, but the people in this village are not so easy to solve when it comes to human feelings.

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "What's the trouble?" According to the rules, if they are not happy, then they will do business, and I will send them directly to the county office. ”

Gu Huanxi said, "The village chief won't agree." ”

This is also a customary rule, if there is a dispute in the village, the village head, the heads of various families, and the clan elders come forward to solve it, and it is easy not to make trouble with the official yamen, which is embarrassing.

Even the villagers themselves did not want to deal with the yamen and chose to deal with it themselves.

Xu Huaiyi said lightly, "If you don't agree, then follow the rules." ”

Gu Huanxi snorted and laughed, "It's hard at this time, won't you be soft-hearted tomorrow when people plead?" ”

Xu Huaiyi immediately shouted injustice, "Daughter-in-law, am I the kind of person who can't be carried?" When can I be soft-hearted, when I can't back down, my heart is clear. Besides, I'm principled, can this kind of thing be tolerated? You're underestimating me! ”

Some things can be humane, but when it comes to issues of principle, they are not compromised.

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi let go of him and ridiculed him, "Sleep." ”

"Well, can't you sleep?"

Gu Huanxi didn't sleep well, and once he was quarreled in the middle, it was difficult to fall asleep again.

Gu Huanxi rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "Don't worry about me, you can sleep, there will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow." ”

In ancient times, if there was anything, it was a man who came forward to solve it, but she was brisk.

Xu Huaiyi rubbed her head gently, "Otherwise, I'll sing you a lullaby......"

Gu Huanxi, "......"

In the past, this kind of thing was not uncommon, and she would not refuse the love between husband and wife, but now, Gu Xiaoyu is still sleeping on the side, and this enemy is becoming more and more faceless.

Xu Huaiyi began to sing without face and skin, "The wind is quiet, the moon is bright, the leaves are shading the window lattice, and the crickets are called Zheng Zheng, just like the sound ......of the strings."

"Shut up and sleep."

"Oh......"

She scolded coldly, Xu Huaiyi was finally honest, and after being quiet for a while, a rhythmic snoring sounded sound.

This big heart!

Gu Huanxi was jealous, sure enough, the sleep quality of people who have no heart and lungs is high, such a big thing happened tonight, and the thief was still tied to the backyard, so he didn't delay his sleep.

Next to him, Gu Xiaoyu was stiff at first, since he could remember, he had never slept in the same bed with others, he thought that he would open his eyes until dawn this night, but as a result, listening to Xu Huaiyi's snoring, he fell asleep in a daze, and he slept very soundly and dreamed.

The next day, when he woke up, he opened his eyes and met Xu Huaiyi's face, and for a while, there was a kind of trance that he didn't know what day it was.

Xu Huaiyi reminded in a low voice, "Be light, don't make noise about your mother." ”

Gu Xiaoyu blinked, finally reacted, and nodded "um".

The two of them lightly dressed and went to the kang.

Gu Huanxi couldn't sleep for a long time last night, and he didn't pass in a daze until the early hours of the morning.

After the two left, she still slept unknowingly, and when she woke up, Xu Huaiyi's breakfast was ready, boiled millet porridge, steamed egg custard, and baked green vegetable cakes, with refreshing pickles, taking into account nutrition and deliciousness.

The three of them sat in the hall and ate.

There was no trace of a fight in the house, if it weren't for the thief in the backyard still tied to the tree, no one would have thought that something happened last night, and the reaction of the servants was also very calm, and after eating calmly, Xu Huaiyi packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to find Village Chief Xu.
