Chapter 73: Setting up a trap (2)

I don’t know how much time passed, but Ergou couldn’t hold on anymore. His eyelids were heavy and he became confused. Suddenly there was a noise in the yard, like the sound of breaking tiles. Ergou immediately became alert, got off the kang, and picked up the

A wooden stick stood at the door.

Taozi and Zaohua also heard the noise just now and turned on the light. It was too late for Ergou to stop them. The two got dressed and walked out of the room. When they came to Ergou's side, their bodies were shaking slightly due to nervousness.

After a while, it was quiet again. The three of them waited for a while, but no one opened the door. Ergou signaled with his hand to let the two of them go back to the room. He gently opened the door and went to the yard.

Inside, he looked around and saw a few broken tiles in the middle of the yard. They were not there when he came. It was estimated that someone had just thrown them in from outside the wall.

Ergou returned to the house, Taozi and Zaohua were still in the house, and they held hands to strengthen their courage.

Ergou closed the door and whispered: "Someone just threw a broken tile into the yard. You turned on the light. The masked man saw it. I don't think he will come tonight."

Zaohua asked in confusion: "What should we do?"

Ergou said: "He is already wary and won't come. You can sleep peacefully now."

Taozi and Zaohua returned to the room and lay down on the kang. They were still nervous and hugged each other tightly involuntarily. The two dogs slept on the kang in the outer room and fell asleep soon after.

At dawn, Taozi and Zaohua got up first. Ergou was still sleeping on the kang and hadn't woken up. Taozi said something to Zaohua and went back first. Zaohua sat by the kang and looked at Ergou, who was sleeping very hard.

It is fragrant and makes a very even breathing sound.

Zaohua lowered her head and wanted to kiss Ergou. When she just touched his lips, she stopped again and thought why am I always the one taking the initiative? That bad man with his head covered wanted to take advantage of me, but you just didn't want to,

Are you a man?

Zaohua thought that she was a little angry with Ergou at this time, shook him and said: "Ergou, it's time to get up, the sun is shining on your butt."

Ergou woke up, saw Zaohua and said, "It's dawn? I have to go back quickly."

Ergou looked for his clothes, looked at Zaohua and felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Why should I wear clothes when you are here?"

Zaohua said angrily: "What's so good about you stinky man? I won't even look at you if you ask me to."

Zaohua turned her head when she reached the side, and Ergou hurriedly got dressed and got off the kang.

Zaohua said: "Wait a moment and let me make you something to eat before leaving."

Ergou said: "No need, I didn't go home all night. If my parents ask, I won't be able to tell them."

Zaohua said: "If my aunt really asks, what will you say?"

Ergou said: "I can't say I spent the night at your house anyway, Zaohua, then I'll go."

After Ergou finished speaking, he left. Zaohua looked at his back and walked out of the courtyard, feeling a little disappointed. At this time, Zaohua's mother came back.

Zaohua asked about Xiaocui's stay in the health center.

Zaohua's mother said: "Everything is fine. I asked the doctor and he said that he can be discharged from the hospital. It will cost a day to stay in the hospital. Let's take your sister-in-law back."

Zaohua said: "Will you be discharged from the hospital today?"

Zaohua's mother said: "I'll be discharged from the hospital today. You go find Ergou, get a truck, and go after dinner."

Zaohua said: "If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I wouldn't bother to care about him."

Zaohua's mother looked at her face and said, "What's wrong? Are you having trouble with Ergou?"

Zaohua said: "That's not true. I just don't want to see his bitter face."

Zaohua's mother felt cold and said: "You really don't like Ergou? Then don't make it difficult for yourself. After a few days, I will go to see your sister-in-law who gave birth to you, and I will say that you and Ergou have nothing to do with each other."

Already."

When Zaohua heard that her mother was going to marry Ergou and Ergou in a few days, she became anxious and said, "Mom, you always listen to me but not me. Who said I don't like Ergou anymore?"

?”

Zaohua's mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, now I know what you think. Now you go find Ergou and ask him to go with you to pick up your sister-in-law."

Only then did Zaohua smile and said, "Mom, I'll go then."

Besides, when Ergou returned home, Taozi had already started to clean up the house. Jia Cailan was sitting on the bed holding the soles of her shoes. Ergou came in and first let go of Heizi to find food for him.

Jia Cailan said: "Ergou, what did you do last night? You didn't come back all night?"

Ergou fed Heizi and said perfunctorily: "Oh, I had something to do last night, and an acquaintance asked me to help."

Jia Cailan asked: "Help an acquaintance? Where is the acquaintance?"

Ergou said, "He's from another village. Even if I told you, you wouldn't recognize him."

Taozi glanced at Ergou worriedly and continued to work.

Jia Cailan said dissatisfiedly: "What are you helping me with? I can't just stay away all night? It's really worrying."

Ergou said: "What's there to worry about? I'm a grown man and why should I be afraid of someone snatching me away?"

Ergou took Heizi and was about to leave when Zaohua came in. Zaohua first said hello to Jia Cailan and Taozi, then said to Ergou: "Ergou, my sister-in-law is back today, please help me."

Ergou was a little embarrassed and said, "Here, I am a grown man who brought your sister-in-law back. How embarrassing would it be for others to see me?"

Jia Cailan said calmly: "Er Gou, if Zaohua wants you to go, you can go. Why are you so embarrassed? Go quickly."

Ergou responded and said to Zaohua: "Zaohua, you go back first, I will be there soon."

Taozi sent Zaohua to the gate of the courtyard and came back, saying, "Ergou, wait a minute, I'll get you something to eat."

Taozi took out two pieces of steamed buns and cut them in the middle, poured oil into the pot, heated them up, put the steamed bun slices into the pot to heat them up, gave them to Ergou, and said, "Eat it while it's hot."

Ergou quickly finished the steamed buns and said, "Mom, I'm going to go then." After Ergou finished speaking, he looked at Taozi again and left home.

When Ergou arrived at Zaohua's house, Zaohua's mother smiled and said, "Ergou, Zhuzi is not at home, so I have to trouble you again."

Ergou said: "Aunt, stop talking, this little help is nothing."

Ergou took down the frame car leaning against the wall in the yard and put on the wheels. Zaohua packed up her things and went to the yard.

Zaohua said: "Mom, let's go then."

Ergou pulled the cart, and Zaohua followed him. The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate and walked out of the village. Two women in the village were standing there, and they both smiled when they saw them.

Ergou was shy and lowered his head and said nothing. Zaohua stepped forward to greet them: "Are you all here?"

A woman said: "What are you two doing?"

Zaohua smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is discharged from the hospital today. Let's go pick her up."

A woman said: "Zaohua, go quickly and remember to tell your mother when you come back that we all have wedding candies."

Zaohua smiled and said: "No problem, I promise to have your wedding candies. You are here, we are leaving."

Er Gou had already walked a long way, and Zaohua quickened her pace and hurried over. Zaohua vaguely heard the two women saying what a good couple she and Er Gou were, and she couldn't help but smile, and followed Er Gou closely.

After leaving the village, we crossed the soft rope bridge and walked towards the town.

The two of them didn't speak. After walking for a while, Zaohua said complainingly: "Er Gou, why don't you speak? Are you mute?"

Ergou held the cart with both hands and said, "You tell me, I'll listen."

Zaohua said angrily: "Then I might as well speak to Mu Zhuang. That masked man came to my house yesterday. I don't think you are worried about me at all. If it were someone else, you wouldn't know how to worry.
