Chapter 1019 Water Defense Battle ([-])

After repeatedly telling Auntie Da Niu to pay attention to safety, the village head took the officers and soldiers back to the village to rest, and Auntie Da Niu's son also left with him. He never thought of staying and helping his mother finish the work and go home together.

Watching them go far away, Auntie Da Niu packed up the farm tools, added some firewood to the fire, went into the house and took the clay pot to wash her hands, then brought a pot of water back and put it on the fire to boil the water, and waited for her to go into the house to get the water. When drying food, he patted the hay bed vigorously. After a while, the hay pile made a rustling sound, the hay was turned over, and a man came out from underneath.

"Hey, I slept comfortably this time." The man stretched his waist and twisted a few times to stretch his numb body. The appearance that attracts women's favor.

"Were you awake when the officers and soldiers came in?"

"Wake up."

"Then you heard everything?"

"I heard that, so what, I've come all the time, you said you haven't seen me, are you going to expose me? Backtracking, obviously lied during the questioning, how do you think Bai Jiajun will deal with you? They are not the kind of imperial army that cannot be supported by mud."

"You are a refugee, it will be fine if I give you food and drink, what else do you want?"

"I don't think about it, I'm just exhausted, I'll borrow this place from you to rest for a few days."

"No, I'll be finished if someone finds out."

"Don't worry, since I want to borrow your place to rest, I won't expose myself, otherwise, where can I find another place in this cold day?" The man's words are sincere, and he is also sincere when he pushes an inch. Who told this woman just now? Didn't expose him in front of the officers and soldiers, "Keep busy, don't worry about me, I'll sleep later."

The man bent down to tidy up the hay bed that had just been turned upside down, lay down comfortably on it, picked up some loose grass from the side of the bed, and covered his body.

Auntie Da Niu had nothing to do with him, the officers and soldiers had already left, and she really didn’t dare to yell loudly anymore for fear that she might not be able to explain clearly, so she stared at the man twice and stomped out the door, sat down by the fire and waited for the water to boil.

The man in the room heard the silence outside, and after confirming that the woman would not expose him, he fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind. The last consciousness before falling asleep was still thinking about how to persuade the woman to take him into the village when he woke up. After treating so many plague patients, he knew that he would not live long, and he would die of illness someday. Since he had suffered so much and still could not get a good death, no one could have a good life.

Auntie Da Niu drank a pot of boiling water outside and simmered until the fire was almost extinguished. The winter night was so cold that she couldn't bear it any longer.

In a daze, Auntie Da Niu turned over from the firewood pile and fell down. Fortunately, the firewood pile was not high, but it also made Auntie Da Niu sweat. Roughly standing up in the dark, her body was cold, so she wanted to light a fire outside to keep warm. In the past, when she was alone, she would light a small fire near the door before going to bed. Tonight, she planned to deal with it all night but It seems impossible now, if she doesn't light a fire, she gets cold and sick, and the family has no money to take medicine for her.

Thinking of her own body, Auntie Da Niu leaned on the wall in the dark room and touched the door. It was pitch black outside, and her fire had been completely extinguished long ago without even a single spark. Fortunately, the fire was far away. The door was only a few steps away, and Auntie Da Niu counted her steps and quickly kicked the stones around the fire. Using the remaining charcoal in the fire pit, she took out the flint on her body and skillfully lit the fire.
