Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

"It's you," the Hu family's fan lady turned around, her pretty brows furrowed, and she said worriedly, "Don't you know? Something has gotten into the village, and several families have suffered. Chickens and rabbits have disappeared, or the doors of the barns have been left open, letting the animals loose. Even my pigpen door was inexplicably opened. Thank goodness the pigs didn't run away, otherwise I'd be sitting on the ground crying right now."

The pig's heart was at her house, it was a pity that she didn't run away.

But what about chickens and rabbits?

"It's terrible," Pei Xiaohai said, "Did anyone see what it was?"

Shanniang's sister, Hu Zhuier, appeared from behind her and inserted herself between the two of them. She looked at Pei Xiaohai warily and answered for her:

"Who knows what it is? It's probably some kind of monster! If you want to know, go find it yourself, don't ask my sister."

Hu Zhuier is just a protective puppy, and everyone she sees is a bad guy who wants to steal her beautiful sister.

As a result, Shan Niang had no friends except her, which gave Pei Xiaohai an opportunity. As long as he was a little persistent, he could find out everything about the Hu family.

She was originally planning to kidnap Shan Niang with a kitchen knife and threaten Hu Zhuier to release Zhu Xin. Fortunately, they went to watch the fun, otherwise Pei Xiaohai was not sure if she could control Shan Niang, who was a head taller than her.

The only friend is a bad kid, but Shanniang didn't notice it at all. Seeing her sister was so fierce, she was afraid that she would be unhappy.

"Don't pay attention to her. Zhuier is a virtuous person. However, I really didn't hear what it was. No one saw it. Everyone was busy helping the Dou family catch pigs. When they returned, they found that their family had also suffered."

As she spoke, Hu Zhuier pushed her, wishing she could push her back home immediately: "Sister, let's go. Don't talk to her so much. She asks questions all day long. You can tell she's not a good person!"

"Hey, don't push me. There is no good person in your eyes." Shanniang competed with her sister and tried to avoid her and talk to her friends for a while.

But Pei Xiaohai had already heard what he wanted to hear, so he turned around with the grass on his back and walked away through the gap in the crowd.

Pu Cao was scratching her face, and everyone made way for her. Little Pei thought she was walking very nimbly.

Shanniang looked at her back with a sense of loss and said helplessly, "Well, she's gone, let's just watch for a while."

"No! What if you get gored to death by a pig if you're this close?" Hu Zhuier pulled her away and said, "Let's stand further away and watch."

Fan Niang:......

Having such a sister, she is really...

Hu Shanniang couldn't express her complicated feelings for a moment.

Pei Xiaohai also had complicated feelings when facing Baifu. She rushed over as soon as she saw him, but she didn't come close. She said to her from a distance:

"Come home with me quickly! Our chickens, ducks, and geese have been missing for several days, and we're looking for them!"

Little Pei asked her, "Where's the pig?"

Baifu complained: "You only care about pigs. Your pigs are fine. Nothing happened. Go away."

Little Pei followed her and asked again, "How did the chickens, ducks and geese get lost?"

"Who would have thought? I saw them all penned up well in the morning, but in the afternoon a chicken wandered into the front yard. I went to take a look and saw a huge hole in the fence. Several chickens, ducks and geese were gone, and the rest were running around the yard. We spent a long time trying to catch them, and we still haven't found the rest."

Baifu remembered something and continued:

"Oh, by the way, your door wasn't closed tightly, and some chickens wandered in and pooped all over the bed, sister."

Perhaps feeling a little sympathy for her, Baifu called her sister.

Recently, she felt that Pei had changed so much that she didn't dare to recognize her. She was also worried that she would make her parents angry again and implicate her. Basically, no one around her called her sister anymore.

It doesn’t matter. What Pei Xiaohai cares about is what she said: What’s wrong with the chicken and her bed?

Baifu's words were a bit dry, but when she went back and took a look, she understood everything. It wasn't just the bed, there must be something wrong with the chicken. Even the soup and water, the moment she walked in...

In short, no one suspected Pei Xiaohai, probably because she vomited miserably while cleaning the house.

So many livestock were lost in the village for no apparent reason, and people are in a panic. There's nothing we can do. Things have been uneasy everywhere lately, with so many strange things happening. We're lucky that no one is unharmed.

Some people hope that their livestock will come back on their own as usual.

Many people pouted and waved their hands.

This kind of thing would probably work in the past, but not now. These beasts are like spirits, each one more cunning than the other, and once they run away they won't come back.

Really, none of the ones we didn’t catch came back.

But strangely, some families who didn't even raise any livestock also smelled the aroma of meat during that period.

It's the autumn harvest, and it's time to eat something good. This is not surprising, but they have just experienced a disaster year, so why are they more generous than in previous years?

The families who lost their livestock smashed pots and pans, beat their children, and cursed the sky and the earth, not knowing who they were fighting with.

The neighbor tried to persuade them to be more open-minded and brought them a bowl of meat for them to try. The woman glared at him and was about to curse him, but the man remained calm and even said a few polite words...

Really good...

You didn't give birth to it, you didn't raise it, but you eat it all up with your mouth!

It works!

I might as well cut off my flesh and feed it to you, my son of a bitch...

The villagers cursed loudly.

Pei Xiaohai suspected that it was Shuanzi or Second Grandma Bai who helped her, but she didn't ask.

Listening to the occasional shouting and cursing, she felt it was best to keep the matter to herself and never tell anyone about it.

Those people wanted to skin the person who did this, pull out his tendons, and suck out his marrow.

She really deserves to die, but she won't be happy to go.

She was not willing to follow Liu Renben when he went to collect and sell grain, so she just gave him the basket she had woven. Baifu followed him, and many men in the village also followed him to escort the grain carts, which could earn some money.

The women were harvesting their own crops.

Everyone was unhappy, but the matter seemed to have passed, except for Waiya, the daughter of Liu Waizui, who suffered a bit.

She has no mother, and her father is so thirsty that he would twist her hair and sell it. He is not a reliable man. The family has little land and they are not very good at farming. She caught a chicken and wanted to keep it.

Her father saw her, beat her up and took away her food. A neighbor who had lost a chicken thought it was theirs and came to ask for it. She couldn't give it to him, so half a bag of food was taken away from him.

Pei Xiaohai was sitting at the door and saw her lying on the Liu family's field picking up wheat grains.

I don’t know how much she picked up.

The children in the village have already swept the land.

Pei Xiaohai slipped into the kitchen, took out a steamed bun, and walked over to her: "Do you want to eat?"

Waiya raised her face and scared her.

Her face was not big, and it was all bruised. The eyelid of one eye was swollen and there seemed to be blood in the eyeball. Her mouth was the same as her father's, with a slightly crooked bead on her lip, but it was not obvious.

Pei Xiaohai handed her the steamed bun, and she wiped her hands on her body and took it, saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Pei Xiaohai squatted beside her, "Did you pick up any wheat?"

She stuffed the bun into her pocket, stuffed the pocket into her arms, lowered her head and said, "No."

Little Pei saw a few grains of wheat in the soil, so he picked them up and held them in his hands, saying, "Then I'll help you pick them up. Look carefully, there must be some. If you don't pick them up now, the chickens will put them in the ground and eat them in a few days."

Anyway, not a grain of wheat will be wasted.
