At night, the thunder and lightning continued, and the rain became heavier and heavier. Song Xintong was awakened by a thunderbolt, and the voice of others was faintly heard.
Song Xintong opened his eyes and looked out of the window. There was thunder and lightning outside the house. All of a sudden, it was as bright and white as day, but the next moment it was dark again.
Repeatedly, song Xintong couldn't sleep any more. He opened his eyes to the tree shadows swaying back and forth by the wind on the window, and suddenly remembered that in the costume drama he had watched before, in such a rainy night with dark moon and high wind, homicide cases were most likely to occur.
Looking at the shaking shade, she felt more and more like a Murderer with a chainsaw. She was afraid in the bottom of her heart. She went to Lu Yunkai's side and leaned close to him to feel safer.
Aware of her movement, Lu Yunkai gently rubbed her chin on the tip of her hair, "why, can't you sleep?"
"Well." Song Xintong looked up at him, "wake you up?"
"No Lu Yunkai reaches out and holds song Xintong in his arms. He leans to avoid her protruding stomach and covers her ears. "Don't be afraid. Sleep. I'm here."
"Well." Song Xintong pillow in his shoulder, and to his arms drilled a drill, "I fell asleep, you sleep."
Lu Yun Kai chuckled and said, "well, I fell asleep."
The rain continued and the thunder continued.
I don't know how long later, song Xintong finally fell asleep.
I don't know how long she slept. Song Xintong was awakened by a loud noise. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the running figures outside the doors and windows, as well as the sound of knocking on the door. With a tight heart, she looked at Lu Yunkai again, "when is it? Time to get up? "
Lu Yun took a look at the sky and said, "it's not time yet."
Song Xintong frowned, "then how to run back and forth, what's the matter?"
"I don't know. Don't get up. I'll have a look." Lu Yun gets up and puts on the clothes at the head of the bed. Song Xintong looks at the movement outside and thinks something's wrong. He grabs him from behind. "Don't go. I feel like something's really wrong. I'm a little afraid."
Song Xintong didn't want him to go out in the muddy water.
"Nothing." Lu Yunkai covered the quilt with song Xintong. "Dabao, they are next door. I'll go and see them."
"They..." Song Xintong hesitated a little, "big Ya is clever, should also not come out in the room."
Having said that, song Xintong put on a thicker sweater.
Bang Bang——
As soon as song Xintong was dressed, the door was knocked.
Lu Yunkai saw that she had already put on her clothes. Then he went to the door and pulled out the bolt. After opening the door, he saw that the post army station of the post house was outside, and there were many lodgers standing in the yard. "But what's the matter?"
The soldier didn't say anything. He said in a dignified voice, "come out and stand in the middle of the yard."
Lu Yunkai frowned and was about to speak. Song Xintong held his hand from behind and looked at him with a scared face, "Xianggong."
Lu Yunkai held her hand tightly, "it's OK."
The post soldier looked at them. "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Song Xintong's heart trembled. What happened? Secretly looking at the side, the soldiers were knocking on the door next to each other, calling out all the people who stayed there.
"Don't be afraid." Lu Yunkai took song Xintong to protect him and walked to the middle of the yard. "Be careful, the ground is slippery."
Song Xintong let out a low hum. Almost half of his body was leaning against Lu Yunkai. He walked cautiously and chose the place he had stepped on to avoid wrestling.
The post soldier looked at their actions and walked into the room without any expression. After a random turn, he saw that there was nothing suspicious before he stepped out.
Lu Yunkai frowned at the disordered room. What happened?
After the soldiers came out of the house, they continued to walk to the house where Dabao lived. Lu Yunkai then said, "the young brother and a servant girl who live next to them."
Courier: "you don't have to say, we'll see it ourselves."
As soon as the words came down, Daya opened the door, and the twins came out with a bleary face, but they didn't dare to make trouble when they were looking at the fierce soldiers.
The soldier drank: "stand over!"
Can only run to song Xintong and Lu Yunkai standing beside them, whispered: "sister, brother-in-law."
When the soldier saw that it was really two children and a servant girl, he went to knock on the side door again. After waiting for someone to leave, everyone quickly gathered around and exchanged information
"Do you know what's going on? I was fast asleep, banging on my door. I thought it was on fire
"I thought it was, but I knocked on the door and left. What's the matter?"
"I don't know. I just got up when I heard you. What's the matter with you?"
"I don't know."
"Is it a burglar?"
"Or is there a senior official who comes in and wants to drive us out?"
"I don't know."
Although it didn't rain, the wind was still blowing. Song Xintong felt cold and tightened his thick clothes for the autumn outside, then looked around uneasily.
This courtyard is not big. It's a quadrangle courtyard. But because it's specially built for temporary living and there's no place for entertaining guests, there are 12 rooms on all sides, and one side is kitchen and storage room.
One side of the storage room is the aisle. There is also a small courtyard, which is also square. People should still live in it, but song Xintong and his family didn't go in to see it, and they didn't know what it was like inside.
Now all the people inside have been called out, and they are all concentrated in the slightly larger courtyard outside.
What the hell is this for? Song Xintong was worried. In a low voice, Lu Yunkai said, "Xianggong, it seems that something really happened."
"Well." Lu Yunkai didn't worry. After all, they didn't do anything, even if they were interrogated.
"I don't know what happened. It turned our room upside down." Song Xintong paused, lowered his voice and said, "fortunately, all the money is on him. If they turn it out, it would be bad."
Lu Yunkai nodded his head. These post soldiers usually have no silver income. They only extort money from passing passengers. He suspected that this might have been done on purpose. He wanted to get some silver. Otherwise, why did they keep turning over the boxes just now?
Song Xintong was very lucky. Since Xiaobao's money bag fell that day, she sewed the large value silver note into the quilt, with only a little silver on her body, so as not to let the postmen see money.
