What made him feel a little disappointed was that he had been waiting for dark for a long time, and the grass was quiet without any movement. He had to wait for another full hour.
A gust of wind blew by, and Chen Qiaoer couldn't help shivering, "Brother, I'm so cold."
Well, it seems that the pheasants have abandoned this nest.
Chen Xiaobei jumped down from the tree and lit the torch. He and Chen Qiaoer collected part of the wild eggs and covered the other parts with straw.
There were too many wild eggs to collect in a short while, and Chen Xiaobei did not dare to stay too long at night.
Chen Xiaobei held up a torch and illuminated the mountain road at his feet. He pulled Chen Qiaoer and walked quickly out of the mountain.
Chen Dachun, who had been hiding in the dark, waited for them to go far away, quickly went over to them, took off his coat and wrapped dozens of wild eggs before returning excitedly.
Chen Xiaobei took Chen Qiaoer out of the mountain pass. After just a few steps, they felt something was wrong.
Because he was holding a torch, although the scene in the distance could not be clearly seen, he could vaguely feel that the black shadows in front of him seemed to be moving.
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but stop and subconsciously protected Chen Qiaoer behind him.
"Who, who is there?" Chen Xiaobei asked twice in a row, but the black shadow disappeared.
After waiting for a long time and making sure that there was nothing unusual in front of him, Chen Xiaobei held up the torch and led Chen Qiaoer forward slowly step by step.
He walked forward about ten meters. Suddenly, a cloud of white mist came over him.
not good.
Chen Xiaobei reacted quickly. He threw the torch forward and turned around to protect Chen Qiaoer.
A pungent smell made him cough repeatedly.
tnd, is lime.
Chen Xiaobei immediately realized that he was being attacked. He ducked down, picked up Chen Qiaoer and ran back.
Chen Ermao and others who were hiding in the dark felt extremely upset when they saw that the attack failed, but they did not dare to pursue them rashly. After all, Chen Xiaobei had slipped into the darkness and was hard to find.
In desperation, they could only leave the scene in a hurry.
As Chen Ermao walked, he kept complaining, "Monkey, what a bad idea you have."
Monkey was also very embarrassed, "Who would have thought that this kid could react so quickly and avoid our sneak attack."
Er Leng next to him couldn't help but said, "I waited for half a night and was stared at by more than a dozen mosquitoes, but in the end I didn't catch anything."
Ermao raised his leg and kicked his butt, "It's not that you didn't throw correctly."
Chen Er hugged his butt in a daze and quickly put on a smiling face, "Brother Ermao, what should we do? We've been waiting for half the night."
Chen Ermao also looked annoyed when he heard this, "Who knew tnd Chen Xiaobei suddenly changed his gender?"
"By the way, if we still can't get Chen Qiao'er, you each have to chip in ten cents for me, and we'll send back those who took Zhao's deposit."
Upon hearing this, the monkey was the first to complain, "Brother Ermao, I just drank a bowl of wine, and these ten coins are too much."
Chen Er was stunned and couldn't help but said, "You can pull it off, you ate a lot of that meal, and you spent fifty cents on it."
"Okay, you two, stop arguing. Let's squat at the entrance of the village again. We must get Chen Qiao'er tonight." Chen Ermao said and quickened his pace.
The three of them mumbled to the entrance of the village and found a dark place to squat down. This was the only way Chen Xiaobei could go home.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had already met Chen Dachun. On the horizon in the distance, the crescent moon also appeared, and the whole world became much brighter.
"Dachun, why are you here too?"
Chen Dachun smiled naively, "I happened to come out and heard you taking Qiao'er out. I was worried and followed you, but you were walking too fast just now and I couldn't keep up."
Well, I feel a lot more at ease now that I have many companions to go home with.
With Chen Dachun around, Chen Qiaoer felt less panicked and proudly showed Chen Dachun the wild eggs she had picked up.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei also sighed secretly. He was holding Chen Qiaoer while running, and threw the bag of eggs in his hand into the grass nearby, breaking a lot of them. But Chen Qiaoer actually held on to the bag of eggs tightly.
There is not a single thing missing in my hand.
Chen Ermao, who was hiding in the dark, finally expected Chen Xiaobei to come back, but when he listened carefully, there was actually another Chen Dachun.
The three of them were immediately discouraged!
This Chen Dachun is famous for his great strength. Coupled with the desperate Chen Xiaobei, the three of them have no chance of winning.
When Chen Xiaobei returned home, Monkey was the first to stand up and wanted to leave, but was held back by Chen Ermao.
"Don't worry, Chen Xiaobei must be tired after working hard all night. Let's wait a little longer until he falls asleep, then climb over the wall and snatch Chen Qiao'er away."
Chen Xiaobei was determined not to think of Chen Ermao. They were still obsessed with Qiao'er.
He was indeed tired. He had traveled to the county town during the day and stayed in the mountains at night, so he returned home and took a simple wash before lying down.
However, he was thinking about Chen Qiaoer and did not dare to sleep too hard.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not prepared at all.
He and Chen Qiaoer used to sleep in the same room.
Now he has moved Chen Qiaoer's bed to his room, so that the two of them are in the same room.
Chen Ermao and others stayed outside for more than half an hour before quietly arriving outside Chen Xiaobei's courtyard wall.
Chen Ermao lay on the wall, grabbed a small stone from the wall, and threw it into the courtyard.
"Gululu!" The stone made a clear sound.
Even with this little sound, Chen Xiaobei had already opened his eyes alertly.
Then I heard a few gurgling sounds outside, like something heavy falling on the ground.
In an instant, Chen Xiaobei realized that someone had entered the yard.
Chen Ermao and three other people entered the yard and squatted in the corner for a while. Seeing that there was still no response in the room, they became bolder. They stood up and quietly went to the door of the room.
Listening to the footsteps outside, Chen Xiaobei judged that they were approaching the house. He quietly stood up, hugged Chen Qiaoer and gently tucked him under the bed.
Then he took out the kitchen knife from under the pillow. It was the only weapon in the house and he kept it under the pillow when sleeping.
Chen Xiaobei tiptoed, quietly came to the door and hid behind the door.
There were a few soft clattering sounds, and Chen Ermao, who was outside, opened the door bolt inside with his hand and gently pushed the door open.
Chen Xiaobei took the lead and sprinted to the door, screaming at Chen Ermao outside.
In the still night sky, a black shadow suddenly flashed out, and then, with such a voice, Chen Ermao and the other three people were so frightened that they oops and sat down on the ground.
With the faint moonlight, Chen Xiaobei could see the outline of Chen Ermao. He calculated the distance, bluffed, and waved the kitchen knife twice at Chen Ermao.
While waving, he shouted, "Here comes someone, there's a thief in the house."
Monkey and Erleng were so frightened that they jumped up from the ground and ran away.
Chen Ermao, who was on the ground, was so frightened that he took a few steps back with his hands as his feet, "Brother Xiaobei, don't shout, don't shout, it's me, I'm Chen Ermao."
Chen Xiaobei glared at him with a kitchen knife, "What are you doing here again?"
"I just wanted to come and see you." Chen Ermao took the opportunity to stand up.
