After returning home, Xia Yi found that her house had been rummaged through as well.

The hoe and other tools in the yard had all been touched and were scattered on the ground.

There was no need to think about it, the room had definitely been rummaged through as well.

However, she had been busy the entire day, and had even been tossed on the oxcart for a long time. Now, it was as if her entire body had fallen apart, and she had no time to tidy it up.

"Sis, I'm so sleepy." Xia Yang yawned deeply, his upper eyelids drooping, without any energy at all.

As if it was contagious, Xia Yue also yawned.

It was no wonder that they were sleepy. Normally, they would go to sleep once the sky turned dark, but it was already very late.

Xia Yi lit the oil lamp, and waited for Xia Yang and Xia Yue to fall asleep before yawning and returning to her room.

Ever since he had arrived here, Xia Yi's biological clock had completely changed. When the sky turned dark, he would sleep, and when the sky was still dark, he would wake up, never to stay up for the night again.

Xia Yi placed the oil lamp on the table in the middle of the room. Just as she was about to take off her clothes, she realized something was wrong.

The quilt on her bed was raised high, as if someone was hiding inside.

Xia Yi immediately took out a pair of scissors from her sewing basket and held it tightly in her hand. Standing far away from him, she shouted towards the blanket on the bed: "Who is it? "Don't play tricks on me, or else I won't be polite."

The quilt did not budge an inch, not even a little bit.

The stalemate lasted for a while, after which Xia Yi gathered her courage and slowly approached.

After stopping by the bed, Xia Yi held the scissors in one hand to her chest while she lifted up the blanket with the other.

Before her hand could even touch the blanket, she saw it being lifted up and a living person emerging from under it.

Xia Yi was so frightened that she bounced back a big step.

"Where did you go? What took you so long? " The voice of the person on the bed was hoarse, as if he had just woken up, concealing his usual coldness.

But Xia Yi could still hear a trace of displeasure in her voice.

Sounds like... A grudge from an isolated room?

Xia Yi immediately shook her head, a strange thought flashed through her mind, and she asked: "Why are you at my house, where's Leng Qianjue?"

"My lodging." Xiao Linmu spoke with a matter-of-factly tone, as if he was the owner of the house and Xia Yi was the uninvited guest who had barged in for no reason.

"The soldiers on the mountain are looking for you?" Xia Yi's scissors were still tightly clenched in her hand, "What did you do? Murder? "Fire?"

However, even if they were going to murder someone and set fire to them, they shouldn't have such a large lineup.

Just as Xia Yi was slowly pondering in her heart, she saw Xiao Linmu throw aside the blanket and roll over from the bed.

In an instant, he was in front of Xia Yi.

His eyes glanced at the scissors in Xia Yi's hand, and said: "If I want to touch you, do you think that holding the scissors will be useful?"

Xia Yi was startled for a moment, then slowly put down the scissors in her hand.

Xiao Linmu's words were not without reason.

"The soldiers on the mountain haven't left yet. It's not safe for you to stay at my house." Xia Yi would never admit that she didn't want Xiao Linmu to stay in her house.

If they were to be discovered, it would definitely implicate her and her younger brother and sister.

"What? Are you afraid that I will implicate you?" Xiao Linmu acted as if he could read Xia Yi's mind.

How would Xia Yi dare to admit it? She could only fiercely shake her head, "No, no, no, I'm worried about your safety."

Xiao Linmu said: "They have already gone through the entire village and will never come back."

"Seems to make a lot of sense …" Xia Yi couldn't think of a reasonable reason for a moment, and could only say: "Men and women shouldn't be so intimate, isn't it better to live under the same roof?"

Xiao Linmu suddenly approached. Xia Yi immediately placed both her hands in front of her chest, and asked vigilantly: "What are you trying to do?"

The warm breath from Xiao Linmu's mouth fell onto Xia Yi's ears, "I will be staying in this room, go ahead."

"…" So it was all planned early on.

But she still couldn't do anything to Xiao Linmu.

Xia Yi took two steps back, and the gaze she used to look at Xiao Linmu was filled with deep resentment.

Xiao Linmu acted as if he did not see anything, and lazily replied: "I'm hungry."

"Wait, I'll go cook for you." Xia Yi seemed to have said this while gritting her teeth.

With regards to Xiao Linmu, she couldn't do anything. After all, his life was in his hands.

Right now, if they refused Xiao Linmu's request, they would have to die immediately.

After letting Xiao Linmu stay, he still had to worry about the soldiers outside the village, but at least he had a chance of survival.

It was exactly as Xiao Linmu said, the soldiers had already searched the entire village, and should not return to the village anymore, it was considered to be a relatively safe place in the village.

Fortunately the kitchen was next to Xia Yi's room, she was not afraid of waking Xia Yue and Xia Yang up from her cooking.

It was getting late, and she was also afraid that the Buddha in the room might be hungry, so Xia Yi saved herself a lot of trouble.

She only rolled out some noodles and used the eggplant and meat foam to make the top. Not long after, a steaming bowl of eggplant flour came out of the pot.

When Xia Yi brought the noodles to Xiao Linmu, Xiao Linmu's stomach seemed to have been infected by the fragrance of the noodles, and growled out.

"So slow." Xiao Linmu said with a cold face.

Perhaps because Xiao Linmu was too cute with his stomach just now, at the moment, Xiao Linmu's words did not give people a feeling of not wanting to stay a thousand miles away. Xia Yi laughed lightly and placed the bowl on the table heavily, "Be satisfied with what you have to eat."

Even though he was hungry to this extent, Xiao Linmu's posture when he was eating was extremely graceful, but his actions were a little faster than usual, and did not seem to be rude at all.

"If you don't have enough to eat, you can still eat." When Xia Yi was rolling the dough, he intentionally rolled a little more. After hanging it on the grill to dry, he could eat it again tomorrow.

Xiao Linmu lowered his head to eat the noodles, and only when he had finished chewing carefully and pushed the bowl towards Xia Yi, did he say: "Enough."

Xia Yi put away the bowl and directly went out.

Xia Yue's bed was small and narrow, and even if she were to lie on it, she would not dare to make any big movements.

When she opened her eyes again, Xia Yue was no longer by her side. There was no one on Xia Yang's bed.
