Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Zhao Yougen lay on the kang, feeling like every day was a year.

I rushed to Liushu Village early in the morning.

"Brother Yougen, is it true that we won't be discovered if we go there in the middle of the night?"

After calming down, the men felt a little scared. They could say a few harsh words, but the thought of actually asking them to enter the village and steal food made their legs tremble.

Several men all relied on Zhao Yougen, and used the remaining food in the house to make porridge for him.

Zhao Yougen drank the porridge in one gulp and smacked his lips.

"Put your hearts at ease. I'm here, so you have nothing to fear."

"Point to any house in Xiahe Village and I can find the door with my eyes closed. Besides, it's pitch dark so who can tell who you are?"

"Take the food and leave quickly. Leave the rest to me."

Zhao Yougen leaned against the head of the kang, squinted his eyes, and burped comfortably.

Soon, Lin's was his.

At midnight.

Several people appeared at the entrance of Xiahe Village.

The night was deep and dark, and the quiet village before my eyes was like a lurking beast, with its huge mouth wide open, ready to swallow up the world.

Several men shuddered.

"Or, let's go back."

The words were blown far away by the wind, as if carrying an echo, and in the blur it seemed as if someone was speaking.

The wind spun a few times, and it seemed like I had heard it wrong.

Several people's legs went weak.

Zhao Yougen was so disappointed: "Do you have any food left at home? If we go back now, we'll just starve to death. The brave ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will starve to death!"

They were about to cry because there was really no food left at home.

Zhao Yougen ate it all today.

the village.

Erlang pursed his lips and looked around vigilantly.

Huizi, his partner on night patrol, leaned against the wall for shelter, wrapping his clothes tightly around him.

"You're too serious. There haven't been any thieves in the village in all these years, and yet you suddenly come tonight."

"If you ask me, let's just find a place to sleep and report back by daybreak."

Erlang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Huizi yawned, looking down on Erlang's seriousness in treating chicken feathers as a token of authority.

"Then you keep watching. I can't stand it any longer. I need to take a nap first."

"Ah."

After he finished speaking, a long snoring sounded.

Huizi's snoring was too overbearing. Erlang stood aside and could only hear the snoring. Even the sound of the wind was kept three feet away from him.

Erlang had no choice but to stay away from him. After taking a few steps, he turned around and found a bundle of rice straw, spread it over Huizi's body.

Dahei patrolled the village silently, especially the Cui family's old house, passing by every five minutes.

When Lin heard that Dahei was going to patrol the village at night, she felt sorry for it as it had just given birth, so she specially prepared some salt-free pork rib soup, poured it over rice, and placed it at the door after dark, with a small pile of leftover bones next to it.

Several men walked tremblingly on the village road.

Zhao Yougen urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, we'll be at Cui's house soon."

Several people clenched the sticks in their hands and encouraged each other.

"This is it."

Zhao Yougen looked around and squatted down: "I'll hold you up from below, you climb in."

The leading man spread out his palms and spat twice, "Pah, pah". Now that it has come to this, he has to go all out!

As soon as he raised his leg, he seemed to kick something in the darkness, which made two gurgling sounds, and a crisp sound echoed over the village.

Zhao Yougen scolded: "Be careful, watch your step..."

Before he could finish his words, a series of dog barks came rushing over.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

"Dog, there's a dog!"

Several people panicked and their potential exploded in fear, and they ran into Cui's house in a hurry.

The last person was a step slower, and his trouser leg was torn off by the dog. The remaining piece hung on his thigh like a piece of rag.

Several people looked sad: "Brother Yougen, why didn't you tell us there were dogs in the village?"

Judging from the sound of the dog, it was bigger than them.

Zhao Yougen's expression wasn't much better either, it looked terribly gloomy.

The He family was the only one in the village that had a dog. I don’t know what was wrong with the old man, but he didn’t tie up the dog tonight, ruining his good deed.

I saw the light on in the upper room of Cui's house and a dog blocking the door.

They couldn't steal the food, and even if they did, they couldn't get out. The men really regretted it.

Zhao Yougen became furious.

He didn't care about the Cui family's food at all. He only wanted the Lin family. Now that he had been discovered, he couldn't leave empty-handed.

He wanted to ruin the Lin family's reputation, so she had no choice but to follow him.

Cui Zhaozhao was awakened by the barking of a dog, accompanied by a clanging sound. It took him a second to realize that someone was banging on the door.

"Mom, big brother, wake up quickly."

There was a banging sound outside the door, accompanied by angry curses, and the three people in the darkness woke up completely.

There was a burglar in the house.

Lin calmed herself down and said, "Don't panic. Your grandma gave me some wood to block the door in the evening. I stuffed it under the crack of the door before going to bed. It can't be opened from the outside."

Several people fumbled for suitable weapons.

Cui Zhaozhao held the shovel, and Cui Jingwen held the kitchen knife to protect Lin behind him.

"Bitch, your man is here to love you, open the door for me."

The men in the yard were shouting wildly.

Such a loud noise would definitely be heard by those upstairs, but after so long, no one came out to stop it.

The door frame was covered in dust and the entire door was shaking.

Lin frowned: "It's Zhao Yougen."

Cui Jingwen's eyes were bloodshot.

Even if it meant exchanging one life for another, he would fight the person outside the door to the death after humiliating his mother like this.

Old Mrs. Cui was a light sleeper, and she woke up as soon as Dahei called her.

The sound of several people falling to the ground in the yard was heard clearly. I thought they were thieves, but I didn't expect they were coming for Lin.

Cui Chengliang was about to rush out with a sickle.

Old Lady Cui growled anxiously, "Are you crazy? There are five people outside. How can you defeat them?"

"She's just a woman, how can she handle five people? If we don't help her, she'll be finished!"

Cui Chengliang's eyes were bloodshot.

Old Mrs. Cui clung to the door frame tightly.

She admitted that Lin was a good person, but she couldn't bear to watch her son die.

Old Man Cui took a deep puff of his pipe and picked up the kitchen knife.

"Old woman, please get out of the way."

"His father...", Old Mrs. Cui looked pleadingly.

"There are no softies in our Cui family. Watching our daughter-in-law being humiliated is no different from being an accomplice."

Erlang followed the sound and saw a thief breaking into the old house. Hearing the sound of banging on the door from inside, he ignored everything and jumped over the wall.

With the dim light in the room, I saw several shadows huddled together in the corner.

"It has nothing to do with us. We didn't do anything here..."

Zhao Yougen spat: "You are a bunch of cowards. You deserve to starve."

"Zhao Yougen, what are you doing? If you bang on the door again, I'll hit you!" Erlang raised the stick in his hand.

Zhao Yougen sneered and pointed at his head: "Come on, smash this, you little bastard, you dare to show your teeth to me? Get out of here, I don't have time for you."

Zhao Yougen didn't take Erlang seriously. His little arms were so thin that they were not even as thick as a stick, and he even complained that there was not enough flesh when picking his teeth.

But if the noise is so loud, it will attract other people and I will have no chance.

He turned his head and continued to push the door fiercely.

"Kang Dang"

The door panel fell straight down.
