Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 509
"Not quiet?" Shuan Shuan paused for a moment with his chopsticks, and asked in horror, "Sister, but will a thief come to the door?"

"Thief?" The children's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they said immediately, "We also need to help guard."

"There's still me, there's still me." Xing'er was afraid of leaving her behind, so he also shouted crisply.

Mu Ai glared at her son and daughter who were obviously over excited, and said with a smile, "A group of Japanese people fell in love with your father's God of War knife during the day, and I'm afraid they will come to snatch it at night. If you are not afraid, help guard the front yard Well, I will protect your aunt and Haizi in the backyard, so don't worry about it, remember to listen to your father's advice in everything, and don't be reckless. Those Japanese people may have some special skills to hide their bodies, and their sword skills are also different from our Baihua At that time, we must be more careful and not underestimate the enemy."

"Yes, Mom." The children answered loudly, and after eating hastily in two or three, they ran back to their own rooms to prepare their own weapons.

Seeing that her sister's family didn't have the slightest intention of being afraid, Shuan Shuan gradually felt relieved. Thinking about it, it was useless to worry. With her sister protecting her, who else in Baihua could hurt their mother and child.

After the dinner table was moved down, Ouyang personally hugged Haizi and sent the two sisters back to Sanjin's courtyard, and then went to discuss with Cui Meng how to arrange hidden stakes for guarding.

Although Mu Ai watched many movies about island ninjas in her previous life, she is skeptical about ninjutsu that can be hidden in trees, water, and soil. Besides, Ouyang and the others are very good at reaching out, and they are If you are prepared to defend, those Japanese can't get cheap, even if a few children go through a few fights, they are all good players.

Shuan Shuan sat on the Arhat bed, listening to the movement outside the window from time to time, and sneaking a few glances at the sister who was playing with Hai Zi smilingly, slightly worried, as if bad guys would jump out of the darkness at any moment.

Seeing it, Mu Ai got up and went to the table to pour a cup of tea, mixed half a sleeping pill into it, and coaxed her to drink it. Soon the bracing in her hand fell down, and they yawned one after another. Finally, he leaned on the soft cushion and fell asleep.

Xiaoan called Xifu together, helped her to the bed, took off her coat, shoes and socks, and settled down to sleep.

Mu Ai fed Haizi half a bowl of egg custard, and saw that he was tired, so she hugged him and squeezed into the big bed to sleep. The fat boy stretched out his hand and tugged at his mother. Seeing that his mother ignored him, he held back his mouth. Mu Ai hastily patted his back, and finally put him to sleep.

Xiao An and the others cleared up the tea bowls, extinguished the candles, and spread out a quilt on the carpet between the Arhat couch and the ground, and fell asleep.

Mu Ai put on the aura cover to protect the whole room, and then fell asleep in peace.

In the front yard, Dayu and Tao'er hid under a bush, Simba and Cheng'er hid above two adjacent porch pillars, Xing'er followed his father in a blind corner of the roof, thin monkey, Han Niu, Cui Meng and others also found a good location, and everyone quietly waited for the visitor to arrive.

It's a pity that the third watch has passed, the fourth watch has passed, and the fifth watch has passed, the sky is slowly showing its belly white, the neighbor's rooster has begun to crow, and there are sounds of walking on the road outside, but I still haven't seen "" Visitor's shadow.

Ouyang moved his numb arms slightly, tightened the cloak wrapped around his little daughter, carefully hugged his sleeping little daughter and jumped off the roof, gestured to the surroundings, and sent the little daughter back to the room first .

Dayu and Tao'er climbed out from under the tree with their red eyes open, patted the dead leaves on their bodies, went to the pillar of the porch, and shouted, "Simba, Brother Cheng, come down."

As a result, there was no answer for a long time. The two looked up and saw that the two boys were sitting on the wooden corrugated pillars and sleeping soundly. The two laughed so hard that they knocked on the pillars and finally picked them up. Sleepily, he scanned around the yard and asked, "Where's the thief? Did they all run away while we were asleep?"

"No, the thieves didn't come at all." Dayu rubbed their heads amusedly, "Go to sleep first, maybe they will come tonight."

While scolding the thief for being unpunctual, the two boys staggered back to the room, fell asleep on the bed.

The thin monkeys went out on missions before, and it was normal for them to lurk for three to five days, so they looked much better than the other children. They shook their necks, stretched their waists, said a few words to Ouyang who came out, and then went back to each other. After leaving the room, Kong Xi and the others who were awake continued to be on duty.

Dayu and Tao'er just went back to their room to sleep. When Mu Ai woke up and saw that the sky was shining brightly, she let her mind wander for a while, and then she knew that the Japanese people hadn't come, which was beyond her expectation, so she hurriedly got dressed , Washed up with the water that Xiao An brought, simply pulled back his hair and rushed to the front yard.

Ouyang was sitting in the living room, wanting to drink a cup of strong tea to refresh himself. When he saw her coming in, he asked, "Why don't you sleep more?"

Mu Ai stepped forward and sat next to him, stretched out her hand to stop him from pouring tea, took a cup of spring water from the space and handed it to him, saying, "How can you sleep with strong tea, drink this first."

Ouyang smiled warmly, "I used to stay up late, it's okay."

Mu Ai watched him drink it all in one gulp, and said, "What on earth are these Japanese people planning? Fortunately, our husband and wife made a bet because of this, and they didn't come to the door."

"They have followed here yesterday. They must have coveted the God of War Knife. The reason why they didn't come is probably because of some delay. Tonight, I will take someone to investigate in person."

"This is losing my wife and losing my army. The children and adults have stayed up all night in vain. From now on, I have to worry about them coming to the door at any time." Mu Ai said angrily, "Would you like to sleep for a while or eat something to pad your stomach?" ?”

"I'll sleep for a while, and give the thin monkey some food."

"Okay, I'll go see the kids too."

Mu Ai ordered Xiaoan and the others to distribute breakfast to the person on duty last night, and then went to see the children one by one. Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she accompanied Shuan Shuan and her son to play in the garden. hour.

At noon, a large table of good dishes was set up. Several children woke up, washed clean, and changed into new clothes. The whole family sat around, and the children complained that the Japanese were not punctual.

Mu Ai laughed and said, "It's also because your father and I didn't think carefully, and didn't tell them before they came to the door, but exposed our family's residence."

Dayu said quickly, "Mom, don't blame yourself, just send more people on duty every night."

"That's not necessary. Mom will take care of the hospital at night. You can sleep in peace. But, you have to be more careful when you go out. Who knows what these Japanese people are secretly planning, wait for your father to find out the news tonight Come back and talk about it."

Simba ate up a fried chicken wing in a few bites, wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Should we also take turns staying at home during the day?"

"No, you should go and play, they don't dare to blatantly rush to the door during the day."

Simba immediately smiled, "Then Brother Cheng and I went to the pier to have a look after dinner. I heard people say in the teahouse yesterday that the big ship of the big merchant in this city, Jia Hai, went to a place far away and returned today. When it docks, many people want to watch the excitement, I heard that the big boat is more than ten feet long, and it is very grand."

Dayu and Tao'er were also a little tempted when they heard it, but they felt that they were elder brothers and should stay at home to share some affairs for their parents, so they lowered their heads to eat.

Mu Ai and Ouyang looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Listen to what Simba said, your father and I also want to open our eyes, why don't you work hard to guard the house with your Uncle Skinny Monkey and Uncle Cui Meng, Dayu, Tao'er, Xing Come with us to the pier."

Xing'er immediately said yes with a smile, and acted like a baby to pick up food for her parents.

Dayu and Tao'er also showed smiles, "Then thank you uncles, let's add some dishes for dinner."

Ouyang said with a smile, "Just give them a jar of wine."

Everyone laughed when they thought of the intoxicated appearance of the thin monkeys every time they drank wine.

After the meal, Mu Ai went to carry Hai Zi out, leaving Xiao An and others to accompany Shuan Shuan to do needlework, Ouyang gave Shou Hou a few words, and the whole family changed into ordinary cotton clothes, except for the delicate and luxurious accessories, and only They took some broken silver and went out together.

Haizi is not afraid of strangers when he goes out for the first time. Whenever he sees something brightly colored, whether it is the clothes someone wears or the cover of a store, he will twist his chubby body, open his small hands, and shout "Yes, yes!" , making everyone laugh.

Mu Ai picked a big red pomegranate from the space and gave it to him, so that he took the greedy boy's hand.Simba and Cheng'er were impatient, and they told their mother that they wanted to go to the front station first, and then ran away quickly.

Dayu and Tao'er led their younger sister to the side, pointing to shops or restaurants on the side of the road from time to time, and told their parents what they had heard in the past few days, very filial and considerate.Mu Ai and Ouyang had smiles on their lips, and they both looked like they had children who could do everything. It doesn't matter if a child is male or female, smart or stupid, as long as they are filial, everything is better.

The other courtyard was originally located in the east of the city, and the pier was six or seven miles away from the city gate. Their family had all practiced martial arts, and they were not delicate, but they walked outside the pier within a quarter of an hour.

Seen from a distance, the pier is crowded with people. The sellers of snacks, tea stalls, dry goods, and fish and shrimp are all crowded beside a three-foot-wide bluestone road. The bluestone road leads to the beach in the distance. The trestle bridge nailed with thick wooden piles and boards extends to the sea surface more than ten feet away. The bridgehead is crowded with boats of all sizes. On a long cargo ship, laborers in gray coarse clothes carried sacks or boxes, shouted and stepped on the plank to the trestle bridge, and then loaded them into the carriages parked on the Qingshi Road. The young man in blue clothes took the Small writing brushes and ledgers record the quantity of each person’s removal, and draw a stroke from time to time. When the laborer sees it, his face bursts into a smile, wipes the sweat with his sleeve, and trots to continue to move the goods.

Mu Ai's family stood at the intersection and watched for a long while, but they couldn't find the Hai family's big boat, and felt that it was in the way of getting in and out of the carriage, so they sat down in a small tea shed, threw dozens of big coins, and asked for a pot of tea and two plates of snacks, Dayu asked the boy, "Little brother, I heard that the big ship of the Hai family is docking today, why didn't you see the shadow of the big ship at the pier?"

　My throat is about to smoke, I can't speak, my whole body is sore, I have a fever, I just got an injection, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Fight with your body.

　　Sad, so uncomfortable, when will it be better?

　　By the way, thank you friends for supporting the original version. I'm going to sleep. I can't do it anymore. My arms and fingers hurt.
