Jing Changning and the old general naturally knew what their niece (granddaughter) meant. They let Erlang go first so that it would be more convenient for her to talk to them.

The three of them simply sat in the dark and discussed it again. When the tent was set up and smoke rose from the corner of the wall, Jing Yongcheng was urged by the old lady to go over first. Jing Chunxi and his third uncle walked around the area and familiarized themselves with the surrounding terrain.

She was secretly happy in her heart, and kept reminding her uncle not to let her fall asleep first tonight, for fear that she would miss it if she took a nap.

It seems that the space tonight will be useful. Jing Changning couldn't help shaking his head as he thought about it and laughed foolishly. This niece is good and smart when it comes to big things, but she seems to be stupid sometimes. It seems that she has to be taught seriously in Lingnan, otherwise what if she grows up and marries the wrong person and is bullied by her husband?

Jing Changning knew that his niece had some abilities, but he couldn't imagine what they were like. He only knew that the fairy aunt could make things come and go freely, but he didn't know that she could transform living people into beings or collect living people.

What he wanted to know most was who was the person who stretched out his evil hand to them and was determined to put them to death.

County Magistrate Yan had no choice but to do so, and he and Tao Jin had even expressed their goodwill towards them through Heizi. He did not want to pursue the matter, at least he felt that there was no need to do so now.

Those who want to put them to death will definitely not give up if they fail this time. After dealing with County Wei Yan, there will be a second and third County Wei Yan appearing. Moreover, the people who appear again may not warn them as they do now, which will make it even more difficult to guard against.

While everyone was not paying attention, Jing Changning walked to the back wall, took out the small bamboo flute that had been hanging around his neck, blew a whistle towards the dark forest behind the wall, paused, and blew it again. This was the secret signal for him to contact Zhou Wei and others.

The wall was not high. After a while, a dark shadow climbed over the wall and stood directly in front of him. The two men communicated for half a minute under the dark shadow of the tree. Soon the dark shadow climbed over the wall again with amazing skills.

The forest behind was pitch black, with no sound except for the occasional bird calls. The shadows were submerged in the darkness, and soon the original silence returned.

When the meal was almost ready, Jing Chunxi took his third uncle and pretended to walk back and forth towards the kitchen. Each of them brought back two bowls of braised pork. There was too much braised pork in the space and when would they eat it if not now? Moreover, today his grandfather finally stood up, which was something worth celebrating, so naturally he had to add two dishes.

Seeing the braised pork, Frosting and Little Tuanzi were overjoyed. The others were also delighted. Eating chicken soup and fish was not as satisfying as eating the greasy braised pork. Frosting came forward and said, "Master, why don't you ask me to bring it? Let me see if your hands are burned red."

Jing Chunxi quickly stretched out his hand to show her: "No, it's not too hot." The braised pork was originally cooked and placed in a large bowl. When Jing Chunxi moved it into the space, it had been an hour or so, so the temperature was just right when eaten, but Tang Shuang still blew on her hand with concern.

Si Lang also complained in the same way: "From now on, Uncle San doesn't have to serve. Just call me and my brother. We can get four more bowls."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang slapped him on the head: "It's good enough to have something to eat. Why don't you eat the Manchu Han banquet?"

This made everyone laugh again, and they forgot that their bunk beds had just been robbed.

The little boy drooled: "Cousin Xi, I want to eat five pieces of meat tonight." Jing Chunxi touched his face again, and his face was already a little milky. The little guy now eats and sleeps, and doesn't need to walk. His body is actually better than before at the mansion, and he jumps happily in the tent at night.

Seeing how many dishes they had, Lin picked up her daughter and tried to hide away. She was too embarrassed to eat them. But the old lady stopped her, saying, "Zhuang, give each of them two pieces of meat."

"No need, we have steamed buns, that's enough." Lin still wanted to run outside, but was stopped by Xiaobei's grandfather, who told her, "Listen to the old lady."

After being stopped like this, she felt embarrassed to leave, so she sat in the corner of the tent with her daughter in her arms, not getting close to them, and continued to sit near the door.

Zhuang used an empty bowl to fill a large bowl of rice for her, placed four large pieces of braised pork on it, poured a spoonful of broth on it, and handed it to her along with chopsticks.

She quickly stood up, took it and put it on the ground, then pressed Qiaoqiao down and kowtowed to everyone three times. Zhuang Shi couldn't stop her and could only let her do it.

"Dalang and I will take turns keeping watch tonight. You guys should get some sleep, but don't take off your clothes tonight." Jing Changning made the arrangements after seeing that everyone had almost finished eating.

Although Uncle Xiaobei was alert, Jing Changning did not make any arrangements for him. Although his father could walk on his own, he still couldn't run fast and still needed Uncle Xiaobei's care.

When the idea of ​​keeping watch was first proposed, none of them were surprised. For some reason, they always felt that with a dark forest on one side and a serious criminal on the other, sleeping in this position would be more dangerous than sleeping at the door of the post station.

After all, it is open outside, and if something really happens, they can run away quickly. If there is real danger, they don’t think that the old patriarch’s family will stand together with them. They may even add insult to injury and wish them to die sooner.

"I'll take care of it. I sleep light at night." It had been the first time in a long time that Lin had enjoyed such delicious food. She couldn't help but chew a few more mouthfuls before swallowing, which naturally slowed her down. Leaving the last two mouthfuls of food for her daughter, she immediately volunteered, her voice much louder this time, and her attitude seemed resolute.

Jing Changning looked at his father. Jing Yongcheng didn't express his opinion immediately, still thinking about something. But Xiaobei's grandfather said, "If she isn't allowed to do something, she'll feel uncomfortable."

Just now when he was building the stove, this woman followed him around, busying herself and rushing to do everything, but she didn't say a word. It was known that she wanted to do more work to repay the kindness of the General's Mansion.

Lin really thought so. The people in this family treated her and her daughter so well. Her daughter usually provided them with some delicious food, and tonight they even had white rice and meat. She was naturally grateful. Besides, the night watch was taken in turns, and she felt that she could handle it. It was much easier than going hungry.

Tang Shuang originally wanted to keep watch, but seeing that Lin took the initiative first, she also wanted to hear what her master had to say first.
