An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Although the officers guarding the stable at the back did not set up a tent, they were lying on the thick straw, wrapped in quilts. They had already fallen asleep by this time and had no idea that the front yard had started to become noisy and this place had become the most dangerous place.

The prisoners could still sit on the scattered straw in the stable, but the low stable could not block much wind, so they huddled together in groups of three or four to keep warm and take naps. Many of them were wearing very thin clothes, and no one knew how they survived. Maybe it was as the old saying goes, "The cheaper the life, the easier it is to keep it," and the more miserable the life, the harder it is to die.

Without tiptoeing or lighting a torch, and without alerting anyone, Heizi led the two of them to his mother's side, next to the stable railing. Heizi knew where she was when he came here during the day, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to find.

I don't know if it was a reward from the little dandy, but Heizi's mother, whose clothes were originally tattered and almost turned into strips of cloth, is now wearing a thick man's coat. It may be that the rations saved by Heizi have benefited her, and she will not be whipped again because of the little dandy's face. Now she looks not so thin, but her half-disfigured face still looks very hideous in the dim light of the night.

"Heizi!" As soon as they touched the woman's side, she opened her eyes. She was indeed a very alert person. Tao Jin could tell at a glance that she was a martial artist. She even slept with one eye open. She was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Mom, there will be a pack of wolves tonight. Don't fall asleep and stay alert." After Heizi said this, Jing Chunxi stuffed the awl and long needle into the hands of the woman whose half face was covered with scars.

She didn't know why she had an inexplicable liking for this burly woman. Although her face was ferocious, her figure was tall, and her eyes were sharp, she didn't look like a bad person, but rather like someone with a mission.

The woman just glanced at Tao Jin and Jing Chunxi, then sat up straight and bowed to them. She performed the greeting very skillfully and properly, as if she had practiced it countless times.

When the woman heard about the wolf, she didn't doubt it at all. She straightened up from leaning against the wooden stake and pushed Heizi away, saying anxiously, "Then you two should hide quickly. I don't need you to worry about me."

The woman touched the thing in her hand and knew what it was used for. She didn't even bother to see if they had left or talk to them anymore. She immediately used the tool on the shackles. At first, she poked the shackles a few times with an awl, but probably felt it was not convenient, so she picked up a long needle and tried to bend it with her hands. After making it slightly bent, she used it on the shackles. In the end, after only fiddling with it four or five times, she took off the shackles.

Her movements were so skilled that a strange look appeared on Tao Jin's face again, but no one noticed in the darkness.

Heizi didn't expect his mother to take off the shackles so quickly. He hurriedly urged her and even pulled her hand: "Mom, come with us quickly and go into the house."

"It's okay. Mom will be fine once her shackles are removed. You guys hurry up and I'll save...save a few more people." The woman was a little hesitant when she said this at first, but when she saw that Tao Jin and Jing Chunxi didn't stop her, she said the second half of the sentence.

"How many more people do you want to save?"

Heizi was a little hesitant and worried about his mother's safety, and hesitated to continue pulling her along.

The woman didn't return the awl and needle to Jing Chunxi, but held them tightly in her hands. Then she pushed Heizi and said, "I'm good enough to kill a few wolves. You guys go quickly."

The woman urged them to hurry up, and before they left, she reached out nimbly to the side.

The little playboy looked in the woman's direction and pulled Heizi up: "Don't worry, your mother won't die."

Kuroko: ...

All right! I'll lend you my advice.

When he ran back, the little dandy still remembered his horse and thought he would pull the horse in and hide it. But he came back not long after he ran away. He just untied the horse's reins, hugged the horse's head and stroked it as if talking to it. Finally, he patted its head, and the horse left after a while.

You don’t want such a good horse?

Jing Chunxi felt it was such a pity. If he had known earlier, he would have given her the mule to use as a mule! At worst, he could just pull it into the woodshed.

But she didn't say anything in the end, because she knew that if the horse could live to see tomorrow's sun, it would definitely return to the hands of the little dandy and would never be used by them.

It's just a pity.

Dozens of people were squeezed into the narrow kitchen. Fortunately, the firewood in the connected utility room had been moved out, so it was not too crowded. But it was good to have a place to hide.

At the beginning, everyone was very nervous, for themselves and for the people who came to the market. They came in, found a place to sit down, and waited quietly.

But by the time the children had dozed off and no sound was heard from outside, and everyone thought it was a false alarm, at least an hour had passed.

"The wolf is really coming!"

The words "wolf is coming" woke everyone up, and they could tell that the person shouting was the old patriarch's family member.

Their eldest grandsons and their two illegitimate daughters-in-law went shopping. The rest, except for the two illegitimate sons, were old, weak and sick. After being scolded and excluded when they knocked on the door one by one, they couldn't find a place to stay. Few of them found a place to hide, so they gathered back.

Some people began to believe what the officials said. How could they give an advance warning of an approaching wolf pack? So after another round of complaints and cursing, since half of the people were gone, they simply set up a new tent in an inconspicuous corner of the outer courtyard of the post station. However, it was not too far from the gate, so they could hear any sound at the door.

At this time, the fires burning outside the door began to go out, and a pack of wolves rushed out from nowhere, causing a commotion and heading towards the gate of the post station.

Although the wooden door, made of large, round wooden pillars, had been closed again upon entering, and the lock and chain were still usable, such a simple door could not withstand the onslaught of a dozen or even dozens of wolves. They had no rules at all, barking and biting to gain entry, and some even climbed up the pillars. Soon, the howling of wolves resounded throughout the entire sky above the post station.

Scarface still had some conscience. He originally thought that the wolf was just a misunderstanding. Now he knew that the wolf was still outside the gate, so he came over tremblingly and knocked on the door of Mr. Liu next to him. It was understandable that so many prisoners were locked up outside and eaten by wolves, but if none of the officers were injured or killed, it could only mean that they were abandoning the car to save the king. They would be blamed if they were tracked down and would definitely be punished.

"Master Liu, I think we should make room for them, otherwise if something happens..."

In fact, before Scarface came over, Master Liu couldn't sleep at all when he heard someone knocking on the door, so he started to think about it. He thought that if Director Fang and County Lieutenant Yan made any move, he would just do the same. Anyway, at most he would free up one or two rooms for most of the prisoners to stay. In this way, even if a few people were attacked by wolves and died, the superiors could not blame them.

After all, everyone knows that the conditions at the post station are limited. They can do nothing about the underlying situation even if we just do it for the sake of appearance, and the punishment won't be too severe.

But after listening for a long time, he found that the two men seemed to be pretending to be deaf and dumb, and their officers did not move at all. There was no movement in the doors of the houses in the front and back rows. They did not come out to rescue, and they did not even open the doors. There were even a lot of insults against the prisoners. It seemed that they were planning to let the prisoners fend for themselves.
