At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

After modifying his membership card, Lin Qing seemed to have completed an important task. He was in a good mood and humming a song while making the bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I found Gu Sihe standing outside the door awkwardly, hugging his pillow and quilt, and said cautiously:

"Mom, I want to sleep with you!"

Although Lin Qing had no experience in coaxing a child to sleep, seeing Gu Sihe's pitiful and trembling appearance, she thought that he must have been frightened by the dark shadow outside the wall. Naturally, it was difficult to refuse, so she agreed to his request with a smile.

Gu Sihe climbed onto the bed with a smile as he got what he wanted. He thought he would sleep soundly with his mother tonight, but he was suddenly awakened by a scream that broke through the sky near midnight.

Gu Ermiao has always been a light sleeper and was the first to wake up. After recognizing Lin Yuanxin's voice, he quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

In the moonlight, he saw Lin Yuanxin slumped over beside the millstone. He quickly stepped forward to help her up and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

When Lin Yuanxin heard his voice, he felt a sense of security in his heart. He felt as if he had just returned to the world. He held back his tears, pointed his finger at the wall in fear, and said in a trembling voice:

"Er, Er Miao brother, there, there is someone there!"

She had just arrived in a strange place and thought she would not be able to adapt. However, after seeing how well the brothers got along with each other, and having a full meal that she hadn't seen in a long time, and receiving a copper coin reward from Aunt Lin for washing the dishes...

What was even more important was that after she had her own room, she was so excited that she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. When she finally felt sleepy, she suddenly thought of the night.

She wanted to light a candle and go to the toilet, but seeing the bright moon outside the window, she thought it would be better to save some lamp oil. But she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out of the door, she looked up and saw a black shadow lying on the wall!

Against the moonlight, the shadow's face was not very clear, but its pair of green eyes seemed to be staring straight at him.

In panic, Lin Yuanxin's mind went blank for a moment, and he collapsed to the ground after letting out a scream that resounded through the sky.

The dark shadow seemed to be startled by the sound and quickly turned around and slipped away.

So when Gu Ermiao looked over, there was nothing on the wall.

Although Gu Ermiao was worried, he still comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Yuanxin. Go back to the main room and rest first. Sanmu and I will go outside to take a look."

Gu Sanmu has always been vigilant. When Gu Ermiao got up, he also put on his clothes and went out. Hearing this, he pulled out a thick stick of firewood from the stove and went straight to the door.

The two furious men were stopped by Lin Qing through the window.

"Sanmu, Ermiao, don't be impulsive. Keep an eye on Xiaoxin first. I'll be right out."

After being awakened by Lin Yuanxin's scream, Gu Sihe curled up in his quilt. When he saw his mother stand up, he followed her like a follower, not even noticing that his shoes were on the wrong way around.

At this moment, Lin Yuanxin had been supported by the two brothers to the main hall. When he saw Lin Qing, he struggled to stand up, but his legs went weak and he collapsed again.

Lin Qing hurriedly supported her and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead due to fear.

"Xiao Xin, calm down. If you are still scared later, just sleep with me. Now tell me, what did you see just now?"

Lin Yuanxin gritted his teeth and nodded, trembling all over as he explained the whole story to the others. Gu Sihe suddenly slapped his thigh and interrupted, "Look, second brother, now Sister Xiaoxin has seen it too. Am I right?"

Gu Ermiao was both scared and regretful, and hurriedly apologized to Gu Sihe, but he did not say it too formally, for fear of making Lin Yuanxin more nervous.

Lin Qing couldn't help but frown.

No matter whether the thing lying on the wall is a person or something else, it actually dares to come to their house to make trouble again and again. In this case, she can no longer be so passive and should take some counterattack measures!

"Okay! Let's go find the village mason tomorrow to raise the wall. Then no matter what it is, it won't be able to sneak into our yard easily."

Naturally, the children had no objection.

Lin Qing's eyes turned cold, and he said, "But before that, we can't let that thing get away with it. We have to make him suffer!"

The children were confused, but Lin Qing turned around and went back into the house.

She had just entered the system mall and purchased a hidden anti-theft net.

Gu Damao and Gu Changqing went to bed late, and just now they walked out of the room with sleepy eyes and holding a lamp. They were a little puzzled to see several people gathered in the main room.

After listening to Gu Ermiao's explanation of the whole story, Gu Changqing frowned.

"Why does this thing come to me again and again?"

Gu Damao followed his lead and speculated, "Could it be that he's targeting something in my house? But what in my house could someone be targeting?"

Gu Ermiao stroked his chin and said seriously, "If it's not a thing, then it's a person..."

These words made the children feel cold on their backs, and they looked at him in disbelief.

Gu Ermiao met everyone's gaze and asked cautiously, "Why, did I, did I say something wrong?"

Lin Qing said loudly: "Ermiao, you are not wrong, so we have to verify it."

When the children saw their mother carrying a long, earth-colored object out of the door, they all looked puzzled.

Gu Damao moved the lamp closer, and when everyone looked carefully, they found that it was covered with dense barbs.

Gu Sanmu reached out and touched it out of curiosity, but his fingertip was pierced after just a simple rub, and blood immediately oozed out.

Unable to hold back a gasp, he put his finger in his mouth and sucked twice, saying, "Hiss, this thing is so sharp! Damn, it's even more prickly than that rose thorn!"

Lin Qing's smile was chilling.

"That's exactly the effect we want! It's called a burglar-proof net. Let's lay it on the wall at night. That way, if something comes up again..."

Several children unconsciously followed Lin Qing's gaze to look at Gu Sanmu's injured hand, and cold sweat began to appear on their backs.

Looking at Lin Qing's smile, the chill was even stronger.

Tsk, it turns out you can’t mess with your mother/aunt…

They got to work right away. The children were all good at working, and with the bright lights, they quickly installed the anti-theft net on the wall.

In order to camouflage it well, Gu Sanmu also sprinkled a thin layer of soil on it, so that even if it was as bright as day, it would be difficult to find out what was hidden inside without careful observation.

Gu Sanmu climbed down the ladder and said with some regret, "It still needs a couple of wedges to make it stronger, but it's probably too noisy in the dead of night. I'll hammer it a few more times tomorrow."

At this time, the sky was orange mixed with dark purple, and dawn was about to begin. Lin Qing called on the children to go to sleep quickly. After working so hard for a long time, everyone fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the pillow.

Lin Qing woke up slowly at noon. Gu Sihe only poked his head out from under the quilt and refused to come out. He stared at her with his big round eyes and smiled a little awkwardly.

As soon as Lin Qing opened the door, Gu Ermiao, who had been waiting outside, rushed in with one stride. After urging him several times, seeing that Gu Sihe was still unmoved, he pulled his brother out with a cold face and a black heart, and instantly became furious.

"Gu Sihe! You wet the bed again!"
