During the day, all the boys and girls in the village were running around excitedly, following the adults to help them. They all smiled with white teeth and were so excited. Even after eating and going to bed, they still refused to close their eyes early, including Zhuzhu of course.

Sometimes she would make trouble for her mother to tell stories, and sometimes she would act coquettishly and ask her aunt to steam buns tomorrow morning. She would even roll around excitedly and giggle non-stop.

No matter how sad and sad the family members were, this fat girl would still make them laugh.

After finally waiting for the fat girl to snore a little and her belly wrapped in the quilt to rise and fall, the family finally closed their eyes in peace.

Tai Jizong followed the old man down the mountain. Tai Jizong and Ban Xian'er slept on the kang outside. While thinking about where to repair tomorrow, and thinking that it would be his turn to be on duty in the middle of the night, he soon fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, someone outside the straw curtain whispered, "Second brother Jizong, it's your turn to keep vigil."

Tai Jizong turned over and sat up, quickly putting on his thickest leather jacket. As soon as he opened the straw curtain, the biting cold wind woke him up completely.

The villagers finished their shift and quickly went back to the big cave to sleep.

Tai Jizong and the other seven or eight night watchmen walked around the valley and came back when they saw nothing unusual.

A tribesman kept sneezing, wondering if he was wearing less clothes.

When Tai Jizong saw it, he said, "Let's not stand guard outside. It's of no use. Why don't we sit at the entrance of the cave and watch for a while, so as not to fall asleep. Otherwise, we will get sick from the cold and we won't be able to work during the day."

Everyone naturally agreed, after all, no one wants to be cold.

Tai Jizong returned to the cave and drove Sesame Ball to sleep at Zhuzhu's feet. He sat in the doghouse and stared outside through the gap in the door curtain.

The long night, especially in the second half of the night, makes me sleepy the most.

Tai Jizong's head was pressed against the mountain wall, and the ice was cold. He thought it would wake him up, but he still fell asleep.

Inside the cave, Yang Lihua jumped onto the kang because of the sesame ball. She woke up and found out it was her dog, so she pulled the corners of the quilt to cover the dog, and then continued to sleep.

The fat girl may have felt something furry under her feet. The little fat girl rubbed her feet and continued to snore.

Sesame Ball curled her lips, as if she was disgusted, but her tail quietly blocked the gap in the quilt, preventing any wind from getting in.

Calm returned to the cave, and everyone fell into a sweet dream again.

After an unknown amount of time, Sesame Ball suddenly sat up, pricked up his ears, and then ran towards the entrance of the cave screaming!

Everyone was awakened, and the first reaction of Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang was to protect the fat girl in the middle!

Tai Jizong at the door suddenly woke up, grabbed a torch on one side, lit it and threw it out of the straw curtain.

At the same time, the same was true for the other cave entrances.

In an instant, the dark valley was illuminated by seven or eight torches, and the dozen or so men in black who quietly approached not far outside the cave were completely exposed!

"Someone! Someone is coming, copycat!"

Tai Jizong shouted at the top of his lungs and the entire valley could hear him clearly!

At this moment, all men, women and children woke up. The old man and his children quickly hid in the cave. The women picked up wooden sticks and copper basins and stood guard outside.

The young and old men grabbed sharp sabers, hatchets, axes, sickles, and even poles, and gathered at the entrance of the cave to guard them tightly.

Tai Sanye squeezed to the entrance of the cave and couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he looked at the dozen or so men in black with bad expressions. This is no ordinary bandit, let alone a thieves, he must be a desperado!

Because these people's whole bodies were wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of cold eyes, the bows and arrows on their backs, and the long knives in their hands, which were all sharp weapons for killing people.

He believes that once these people take action, they will kill them all without hesitation and will never relent!

After confirming this information, he took a breath of air and wondered, where did these people come from? Where did the Tai family provoke them?

Similarly, this group of men in black were also in a depressed mood. They originally thought it was a very simple task, but after all, they were facing a group of mud-legged people.

But they came all the way from Kyoto, and unexpectedly got lost at the foot of the mountain. After tracking them for two days, they climbed over the mountains and ridges to find this valley. They thought of a quick victory, but suddenly they were exposed because of a dog barking!

Tai Sanye took a deep breath and asked the men in black loudly.

"Hey, heroes across the way, what's the matter with you coming here in the middle of the night? We are just a group of ordinary people. Because the world is in chaos, we go to the mountains to take shelter. If you pass by here and are hungry or thirsty, we can help. . If there is any misunderstanding, we can talk it over. Please clear the way!"

The leading man in black frowned and asked loudly, "Are you from Taijia Village at the foot of the mountain? Who is Tai Baocheng? Let him come out! He stole something from our master. As long as he hands it over quickly, I can promise not to hurt you. The lives of the rest!”

Mr. Tai's heart shrank when he heard this. His vague guess seemed to have come true.

Although the old brother didn't tell him explicitly, he had encountered a lot of big and small things in the past year, and he also thought that the old brother had secrets.

Unexpectedly, this secret will cause trouble again today!

"Dear heroes, we are indeed from Taijia Village at the foot of the mountain, but my sixth child is not here. His family has a small courtyard in the city, and he has been living there these days because of the ice sculpture business. Why don't you go to the city to find it? Looking for it?"

The man in black didn't believe it and sneered, "Don't think we're easy to deceive. Hand over the person quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

After saying that, he drew out the long knife, and the other men in black did the same. The valley was dark for a while, because the extinguished torch shone on the blade, making people shiver from the bottom of their hearts.

Third Master Tai became anxious and said quickly, "I'm not lying to you, Lao Liu is indeed not here, he is in a small courtyard in the city."

After that, he shouted at the other cave entrances at the top of his lungs, "Everyone is here. If you don't believe me, ask them."

In the other cave entrances, everyone was holding their breath and listening.

At this moment, everyone was helping.

"Yes, Mr. Tai Liu has entered the city."

"Who would want to come and live in a cave if we can't live in the city's courtyard! There's nothing we can do!"

"Uncle Six is ​​the most righteous man. If he were here, the custodian would have stood up long ago. He wouldn't watch you scare everyone. He would be hiding behind!"

Third Master Tai was afraid that everyone would make mistakes if they talked too much, so he quickly took over the conversation again.

"Did you hear this, all heroes? My old brother is indeed not here. If you want something from him, you can go to the city to find it. The small courtyard in the city is also easy to find. It is at the end of the alley behind Min's snack shop. . And Min’s shop is the dim sum shop with the best business. You will know it when you go to the city and ask."

The man in black seemed to believe it and stopped talking. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the leader mentioned another thing.

"Since Tai Baocheng is not here, then hand over the Tai family's little granddaughter!" (End of Chapter)
