Chapter 25: The Thief Caught Fire
In the dark night, the entire Shijiagou Village was silent, only the howling cold wind was still chilling.
A dark shadow cautiously approached the courtyard of the Qu family, and the thick snow on the ground covered the footsteps, and there was no sound at all.
The gate of the Qu family was very heavy, and the black shadow did not try to push the gate open, but forcefully opened the garden stick next to it and entered the Qu family through the gap.
Although the door was bolted from the inside, it was difficult for the black shadow, and I don't know how he stabbed it, and it was not long before the door was opened.
The black shadow entered the house, touched directly towards the kang in the east house, saw three people lying side by side on the kang, and pounced directly on the middle one.
"Little daughter-in-law, let me seize the opportunity, today I will do a good thing with you, and marry you tomorrow."
The black shadow hugged the person on the kang excitedly, and was about to bow his head to kiss it, but found that something was wrong, the quilt was empty, and there was no one at all.
The black shadow sensed that something was wrong, turned around and was about to run, but before he could move, there was a dull pain in his back, and someone hit him hard with a stick.
The strength of this stick is big enough, and the attack is ruthless enough, the black shadow only felt a sharp pain in his back, a tight pain in his chest before the shock, and a sweet throat and eyes, knowing that he was seriously injured.
Although he was injured, his brain was still good.
The black shadow immediately understood that this was a master, and if he didn't run again, he would lose his life if he couldn't keep it.
Thinking of this, the black shadow immediately made a decision and rushed directly towards the two children on the kang.
The one who hid in the shadows and gave the black shadow a stick by surprise was none other than Qiao Lian.
Since coming here, Qiao Lian has not dared to sleep too hard at night, and has always been vigilant.
When the black shadow poked the door outside, Qiao Lian noticed it.
So he immediately got up, rolled up the quilt and pretended that someone was asleep, while he hid in the corner, holding a big stick for self-defense and waiting.
When the black shadow pounced on the quilt on the kang, Qiao Lian came out of the corner and gave the black shadow a hard stick without a sound.
I don't think this black shadow is enough to be a thief, but before Qiao Lian picked up the stick and struck it a second time, the black shadow turned around and pounced on the two children on the kang.
As a mother, it is instinct to protect her child, so Qiaolian immediately pounced.
I didn't want the black shadow to be a false move, so I took this opportunity to jump out of the house directly, and ran away without a shadow.
Seeing that the black shadow had run away, Qiao Lian was also relieved, and hurriedly went to re-bolt the door, and then used a stick to top it, and then returned to the east house.
Fang didn't feel anything when he was fighting with the black shadow, but now sitting on the edge of the kang, Qiao Lian felt that her body was trembling, and her arms and legs were weak.
I'm scared when I think about it, if she sleeps and dies a little more, she will probably be killed tonight.
It's really too difficult for a woman to live, and she has to keep one eye open even when she sleeps.
No one knows when someone will come out to harm her, and when will this kind of fearful day be the end?
Qiaolian sat on the edge of the kang, completely sleepy, and only cried silently.
"Mother, why don't you sleep?"
Xiao Jiakang, who was lying on the kang, woke up and found that his mother was not sleeping beside him, but sitting on the edge of the kang, a little strange, sat up and asked.
"My mother just got up to relieve her hands, and she was about to lie down and sleep." Qiao Lian quickly wiped the tears on her face, got back into the quilt, and reached out to lie down with Jiakang in her arms.
"Son, grow up quickly, grow up so that you can protect your mother when you grow up." Putting Jiakang back to sleep, Qiaolian kissed her son's forehead and whispered.
This night, Qiaolian didn't dare to sleep again, so she kept her eyes open until dawn. It wasn't until the two children woke up that Qiaolian went to cook in a daze.
Qiao Lian didn't say anything about the people who came in the house at night, she didn't catch the person, it was useless to say it, she didn't know who it was.
If people know, they will laugh at her, saying that she is restless, and it must be something like which concubine is coming.
So Qiao Lian silently rearranged the garden sticks that had been picked up, and went to the village without saying a word.
It's just that I secretly decided in my heart to inquire about who has a puppy, and it is time to raise a dog at home, at least there is a movement, so that no one in the house will know.
A night terror made Qiaolian dare not sleep for several days.
In addition to bolting the door every night, I will find something to hold against the door, and the window will also be blocked with something to prevent people from coming in again.
Even so, Qiaolian didn't dare to sleep at night, and she would wake up at the slightest disturbance outside.
Where can a normal person withstand such torture? After five or six days, Qiaolian was haggard and had many black eye sockets, and yawned when she gave lessons to the women.
Finally, I couldn't stay up that night, and I fell asleep very deeply after lying on the kang for a while.
Sleeping until midnight, Qiaolian smelled as if there was a smell of smoke.
At first, I didn't react, thinking that I was dreaming, but the smell of smoke became bigger and bigger, and Qiaolian was awakened by the smell of smoke.
When I opened my eyes, I found that the window in front of me was bright, and the house was on fire.
Qiao Lianteng sat up, "Jiakang Jiayuan, get up quickly, the house is on fire." ”
Qiao Lian quickly put on her clothes and woke up the two children.
Jiakang Jiayuan is sleeping sweetly, where can I hear my mother calling them?
When Qiao Lian saw this, she directly dragged the children up, put on the cotton jacket and cotton pants for them, and then picked up Jiayuan with Jiakang on her back and rushed out.
The door of the Qu family is two-storey, and Qiao Lian put a lot of things on top before going to bed, but at this time it became an obstacle.
In a hurry, where can we move away little by little? Qiao Lian hurriedly raised her foot and kicked those things aside.
The sound alarmed the children, and Jia Kang woke up only to find himself on his mother's back. "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Jiakang, our house is on fire, now I have to take you out."
The fire gradually spread, Qiao Lian was in a hurry, but she didn't know what was going on, and the door on the outside floor just couldn't be opened.
At this time, Jiayuan also woke up, Qiaolian put down the two children, used all her strength, and kicked the door open, only to find that the door was blocked outside.
At this time, she couldn't care about this, Qiaolian hurriedly carried Jiakang on her back and hugged Jiayuan, and rushed out of the house directly.
"Come on, come on, go to the water, come on." When she came to the courtyard, Qiao Lian shouted loudly.
Generally, when there is a fire, you can't shout directly to start a fire, and the elders have said that if you shout a fire, the fire will get bigger and bigger, so if there is a fire, you must shout to take away the water.
This is the rule in the village, and Qiao Lian shouted it without thinking about it.
While shouting, he ran out of the house and ran to the Li family and the Hu family in front, "Brother Li, sister-in-law Li, come out and help, my family is out of water." ”
Qiaolian is a woman, and she has to take care of her two children, where can she free up her hands to fight the fire? Even if it can be saved, no one is useful, what can I do if I don't ask for help?
