Jiayin lay in her elder brother's arms, yawned a little, squinted her eyes, listened to her mother and aunt talking, and slowly fell asleep.
Jiaren wanted to send his sister into the house, but he couldn't bear the excitement and warmth at the moment, so he took off his coat to block his sister from the slightly cool evening breeze.
When Brother Li and Brother Cat saw it, they also came over and surrounded their sister... As
the night got darker, the whole family dispersed and took a rest.
Jiaren, Brother Li and Brother Mao all went to live with the third and fourth uncles in the west room of the main house and slept on a kang.
So Tao Hongying hugged Jiayin and slept with Zhao Yuru in the east room.
Jiayin woke up from the heat in the middle of the night, only to find that the little fox had crawled into her arms. When she was about to push the little fox out, the door of the west room rang.
Jiayin looked out through the half-open window sash, and it turned out that Brother Cat was going to put out the water.
Almost half of the jade melon from earlier went into his stomach, and his bladder was probably about to burst.
The sky is a bit gloomy tonight, the moon is hiding somewhere, and the courtyard is pitch black.
Brother Cat didn't dare to go to the toilet, so he ran to the wall and peed. Maybe he wanted to have a bigger one, but he couldn't hold it in, so he picked up his pants and walked back.
Just when Jiayin was about to imitate bird calls to scare her brother, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, but there was no movement outside the wall of her own courtyard.
Jiayin felt strange, and Brother Cat obviously felt something was wrong. He stood in the yard and felt that it was not good to go back to the house. He didn't dare to go to the door to have a look.
When he was hesitating, something was suddenly thrown in from outside the courtyard and spread out in mid-air. Like a goddess scattering flowers, it fell all over Brother Cat.
He subconsciously grabbed something like a piece of rope from his head. It was sticky and the smell of blood was pungent.
"Ah! Fourth uncle, help!"
In the quiet yard, Brother Cat suddenly screamed, causing everyone to open their eyes in shock.
Jiayin even pushed open the window and was about to jump out, but the little fox was faster than her and ran straight out, disappearing in a few swishes.
Li Laosi kicked the door, rushed out first, picked up his crying nephew and threw him into the house. Li Laosan then raised his hand to take his nephew.
Look again, Li Laosi has climbed out of the courtyard wall!
It wasn't that he didn't want to go through the courtyard gate, it was just that it was locked and it would take too much time to open it.
At this moment, Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, Jiaren and Brother Li were all awakened.
Li Laosan handed Brother Cat to Zhao Yuru and went to find a lantern. After lighting it, he carefully looked at the things scattered in the courtyard, his face turned pale with anger.
The yard was full of cats and dogs that had been cruelly cut into pieces.
It has a head, claws, heart, heart and intestines...
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also gritted their teeth angrily and quickly took Brother Cat to take a bath and change clothes.
Jiaren and Brother Li covered Jiayin's eyes and carried her back to the house.
Jiayin was not actually scared, but was a little nauseated by the smell of blood.
She secretly took a few small ice cubes from the space and stuffed one into her mouth, which made the churning in her stomach feel better.
She gave the remaining two pieces to her brothers.
Jiaren and Brother Li didn't ask where the ice cubes came from at this time. They chewed them up and felt cold from their throats to their stomachs. Their racing hearts felt much better.
Brother Li hugged his sister and sat in front of the window. He asked his eldest brother in a low voice, "Brother, who do you think is here to cause trouble?" Jiaren's eyes flashed sharply and he said: "They should be those who open food shops on the street. These days, many people have heard them complaining about the lack of business."
Brother Li was surprised and said angrily: "My third uncle asked them at the beginning and invited them They opened a stall in the canteen together, but they didn't go. Why are they still jealous of our good business?!"
Jiaren shook his head, "No one is willing to admit that they were wrong, and they are not willing to bear the consequences. They are just willing to Vent your anger on others."
After that, he was afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would worry, so he added: "Maybe I guessed wrong. Let's wait and see if the fourth uncle can catch the person back."
"Definitely!" added the good news. He said, "Sanjo is chasing me, and I will definitely help dad catch him."
Jiaren rubbed his sister's hair and said nothing.
He had previously advised his third uncle not to be too polite to his colleagues who opened food shops.
The vegetables in their fields were fresh and good. They clamored to buy them at low prices, and the third uncle agreed.
But in fact, there is almost no profit for the family, which is equivalent to helping them grow vegetables.
The third uncle said that they are all colleagues, and the canteen does account for most of the business. It is not easy for these people.
Now it seems that these people are obviously not worthy of sympathy. They are kicking the nose and the face, thinking that the Li family is easy to bully...
Soon, Brother Cat was cleaned up and was sent to the east room.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru came to the courtyard and wanted to clean it up, but Li Laosan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute and see what the fourth child says when he comes back."
Before they could say anything, there was movement in the alley outside. Li Laosan had just When he was about to open the door, Li Laosi jumped into the yard carrying a person.
Li Laosan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Fourth brother, are you injured?"
"No, Third Brother, this guy doesn't have any skills. He is just very familiar with this area and keeps his secrets secret. Fortunately, Santiao followed him and helped him by smelling the smell. I pulled the man out of the firewood pile."
At this moment, Sanjou had jumped onto the window sill, chirping and begging for reward from his little master.
Jiayin quietly took a handful of dried meat and threw it to grind its teeth. Then she lay on the window sill and looked into the yard.
The man was knocked unconscious and tied tightly. Li Laosan got a bucket of water and poured it on him, and he woke up.
As soon as Li Laosan held up the lantern and shined a light on it, he got angry and kicked him hard!
"Huang San'er? It's you! You heartless beast! You take the most vegetables from my vegetable patch! I always give them half for half, just because you said your mother was sick and needed money to buy medicine!"
"Forget it if you're not grateful, you actually came here to play dirty and throw dead cats and dogs into my house! Where is your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog? ! "
The man was rolling on the ground in pain and couldn't hide away. He could only scream and beg for mercy.
"Brother Li San, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! It's not me, I'm just sleeping in the firewood pile! I don't know what happened, but I was knocked unconscious! "
Li Laosan is not a shrewd person, but of course he believes in his younger brother's ability more than an outsider. There is no chance that his younger brother will make a mistake.
What's more, who has to get into the firewood pile to sleep in the middle of the night without returning home.
"You make it up, make it up hard! Li Laosan kicked his feet several more times, panting from exhaustion, "I'll send you to see the official at dawn!" Where did you find these dead cats and dogs, and where did they cut them into pieces? It will be clear after a quick check. Let's see how you can quibble! "
Huang San'er was kicked in the stomach, and he stooped like a prawn in pain.
Perhaps he felt that he couldn't escape, so he shouted again, "Brother Li San, I was wrong, I just got distracted for a moment! I just...yes, yes, I was instigated by others! "
