    ?

    Turning on the light bulb, the two walked up to Wen Lu, who was still lying on the bed peacefully, nothing unusual.  Liu Qian walked up to check Wen Lu's wound, and found nothing wrong.  .  "Huh? Didn't he come to Wenlu?" Wu Tian's shadow flashed in Pei Lei's mind just now. She thought it was Wu Tian and others who came here, so she came to kill Wenlu immediately, but luckily  Nothing.

    "Sister, what's the matter?" Xiaosheng asked from the next room, rubbing his eyes and pushing the door.

    "Xiaosheng, are you okay?" Pei Lei thought, since the man was not here for Wen Lu, it seemed that he was here for Xiaosheng and Lao Lin.

    "It's all right, I'm already asleep. I heard some movement here, so I'll come over and have a look. What's the matter, sister?"

    "It's okay, Xiaosheng, go to bed." Pei Lei was afraid to tell Xiaosheng that there was a man in black in the middle of the night, and he was so scared that he couldn't sleep, after all, he was still a child.

    "Aren't sisters going to sleep?" Xiaosheng raised his head and asked.

    "We go to bed later." Pei Lei and Liu Qian decided to guard Wen Lu in this room, in case someone really came to assassinate him.

    "Then I'll stay with my sisters." Xiaosheng smiled innocently and cutely.

    Although Liu Qian and Pei Lei said they don't need Xiaosheng to accompany them, Xiaosheng still moved a few benches to Wenlu's room.  Xiaosheng asked about Liu Qian, Pei Lei and Wen Lu's past, Liu Qian started to tell Xiaosheng, the more Xiaosheng listened to it, the more addicted he became, pestering Liu Qian and Pei Lei until midnight.

    Pei Lei woke up suddenly when she heard a voice around her. When she looked up, it turned out that it was Lao Lin who came into the room to call Xiaosheng.

    "Why are you all sleeping here?" Looking at the three people sleeping in disorder in the room, Lao Lin asked in wonder.

    "We" Pei Lei looked at Liu Qian, who was sleeping next to Wen Lu, and Xiaosheng, who was sleeping on the table in the middle of the room, and said to Lao Lin, looking outside.

    Lao Lin and Pei Lei came out and said, "What's the matter?"

    "Last night when Qianqian and I were going to the bathroom, we met a man in black in the courtyard. Have you ever met him before?" Pei Lei asked mysteriously.

    "No, it's impossible, it's a barren mountain, how could there be a man in black here." Lao Lin said.

    "That's troublesome, alas" Pei Lei said with a sigh.

    "What's wrong?" Lao Lin didn't understand what Pei Lei meant.

    "If you haven't met him before, then he must have come for us. It seems that before Wen Lu wakes up, we must be on night shift." Pei Lei said with a frown.

    "Ahthat shouldn't be necessary." Lao Lin said.

    "No? Why?" Pei Lei guessed, is there any mechanism in this yard, such as an anti-theft system?

    "Well It's okay. I seem to have seen the man in black before. It seems that he came here to steal my things. He left when he couldn't steal it."

    "Ah?" Pei Lei was dumbfounded, looked at Lao Lin's white beard, and thought: This old Lin can't be a fool, can he?  Why do you say yes for a while, and no for a while?  Worrying, Pei Lei asked again: "Really? Have you seen it before?"

    "Yes, hey, don't worry about him, he left by himself without finding anything. Don't worry, Wen Lu will be fine." Not only did Pei Lei's words not arouse Lao Lin's worry, but she even said it was the same as that of the black-clothed man.  The Snitch was like an old friend.

    Lao Lin's eyes flickered when he spoke. He took out a pair of sunglasses from his trouser pocket and put them on. But before the sunglasses blocked his eyes, Pei Lei noticed that Lao Lin's eyes were very red.  .  .

    Pei Lei probably understood.

    "It's okay, don't worry." Lao Lin reiterated, walked back to the room where Wenlu was resting, and shouted: "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng, hurry up, the sun is shining on your buttocks, so I can't afford it."

    Lao Lin called Xiaosheng, and Liu Qian heard it too, rubbed her eyes in a daze and said, "Why are you calling so loudly, it's so noisy."

    However, Lao Lin said: "From today onwards, both of you have to start working."

    "Huh?" Liu Qian opened her mouth wide in surprise.

    "Ah what? Pack it up quickly, you two will go fetch water later." Lao Lin said.

    "Don't be like this, master, if you don't want to pick it, I'll go after I come back from picking the medicine. Don't let the two sisters work. You see, they are so thin, how can they have the strength to do this" Xiaosheng said  While pleading.

    "No, they don't live for a day or two. How can they live and eat for nothing? You two hurry up and get ready to fetch water." Lao Lin said strictly.

    "Master" Xiaosheng still wanted to plead.

    "Get out!" Lao Lin hit Xiaosheng's head hard with his crutches.After a moment, Xiaosheng rubbed his head, not daring to say anything more.

    "You go to fetch water in a while. You have to fill up the water in the water tank this morning, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat at noon." Lao Lin said.

    "What?" Liu Qian and Pei Lei didn't say anything, Xiaosheng interjected first: "Master, don't talk about the two sisters, even if I go, I won't be able to pick them up all morning. The well will take more than ten miles to and from our place.  Where is the road?"

    This distance already made Liu Qian and Pei Lei tremble in their hearts, but it was inconvenient for them to say anything else, after all, it was Lao Lin who saved them, and the two of them were living for nothing now.

    "No, just leave in the morning after breakfast, otherwise there will be no food at noon." Lao Lin glanced at Xiaosheng and said, "You are not allowed to help them, you are not allowed to collect herbs, and the basket is not full at noon.  Come back for dinner."

    Liu Qian lost her temper a little bit, and said: "Uncle Lin, did you do it on purpose? You can't abuse us just because we don't give you"

    "Did I abuse you?" Lao Lin said proudly.

    "Xiaosheng already said that the well went back and forth for more than ten miles, and we didn't know the way. You asked us to carry so much water before noon, didn't you mean to embarrass us?" For Liu Qian, lunch is the most important thing.  .

    "Then is it appropriate for you to live here for free?" Lao Lin was very serious, not joking at all.

    Pei Lei hurriedly walked up to Liu Qian, and said, "Qianqian, don't talk about it, she has saved our lives in the first place, so it is right to do some work."

    "He obviously intended to make things difficult for us" Liu Qian was still struggling to discuss something with Lao Lin, but was forced out of the door by Pei Lei.

    "Breakfast has been prepared for you, go to work quickly after eating." Lao Lin said from behind, with a smug smile on his face.

    "Why did you agree to him? Because we didn't give him underwear, he hated us and made us do tiring and dirty work." Liu Qian said to Pei Lei.

    "No matter what, we can't deny that someone saved us, right? If we don't do it, how can we know we can't do it? Let's wash it first, and we'll try it later."

    After washing and having breakfast, Pei Lei asked Xiaosheng the exact location of the well. Xiaosheng was afraid that the two of them would not be able to remember it, so he drew a picture for Liu Qian and Pei Lei, and said, "Follow this route,  It¡¯s just over ten miles away from Xingfu Village, where water can only be fetched, sister, can you fetch water?¡±

    Liu Qian was stunned, yes, how could she and Pei Lei draw water from the well?  When they were very young, they saw someone using a pulley to fetch water on TV.  .  .  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
