Li Jiao looked at the men in front of her, some of whom were still holding vegetables just picked from the vegetable garden, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces, but more of them were kind and sincere.

She smiled slightly and waved her hand gently: "It's okay. Since you like it, just pick some."

When Li Goudan heard what Li Jiao said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly handed the vegetables back to Li Jiao: "Thank you, Miss Li. We really didn't know there were people living here. We must pay attention next time."

The other men also expressed their apologies and returned the vegetables in their hands to Li Jiao. Li Jiao took the vegetables with a grateful smile on her face.

When Li Qingxiu saw that the men had returned the vegetables to Li Jiao, she said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go and clean up the shop. Everyone will sleep in the shop tonight. This is also what Sister Li Jiao said." Agreed.”

The men had no objection and went to the shop one after another to prepare for a rest. As soon as they entered the shop, they moved the cabinets aside to expose as much space as possible to rest.

Li Jiao pulled Li Qingxiu to her room, "Sister Qingxiu, you sleep here. There are a lot of old men there. It's not convenient for you to rest there. Although my quilts are a little old, they are still clean. Don't mind."

Li Qingxiu declined with some embarrassment: "Why are you so embarrassed? Sister Li Jiao, where are you and your parents sleeping?"

Li Jiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My parents and I don't dare to sleep outside. We have been living in the cellar since the accident."

"In that case, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful." Li Qingxiu said.

After Li Jiao settled Li Qingxiu, she went to the front yard to find Li Lei. Li Lei, who had just finished moving the containers, was very confused when he heard Li Jiao looking for him.

Seeing Li Jiao waiting for him at the door, Li Lei wiped the sweat from his forehead before walking out and asked: "Miss Li, what do you want from me?"

"Brother Lei, there is still some straw in my backyard. You can ask a few uncles to go with me to get some straw to spread on, so that you can sleep better at night." Li Jiao did not dare to look directly into Li Lei's eyes and said a little embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Li Lei nodded: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll call them."

Li Lei called Li Dazhuang, Li Erzhuang and Li Ashui and followed Li Jiao to the woodshed.

As soon as Li Ashui entered the woodshed, he saw several tall straws and said happily: "Oh, it will be easier to sleep tonight with these straws."

With that said, Li Ashui hurriedly picked up a large bundle of straw and ran to the front yard.

Li Jiao wanted to help, but Li Lei refused: "Hey! We grown men can do this kind of thing. You can go back to your parents and tell them about this."

Li Jiao nodded gratefully, turned back to the cellar, and told her parents about the straw.

After hearing this, Li Jiao's parents had happy smiles on their faces. They knew that although these men were rude, they were kind people and willing to help, which also made their hearts feel warm.

"Mom and dad, you guys rest first, I'll go up and ask them to be careful not to come out at night." Li Jiao suddenly remembered this and said.

Li Jiao's parents felt nervous when they thought about howling and crying outside at night, so they both nodded in agreement and asked Li Jiao to go and come back quickly.

In the front yard, Li Lei and a few men were busy spreading straw neatly to prepare beds for tonight.

There was a sudden knock on the door connecting to the backyard. When Li Goudan, who was close to the door, heard it, he immediately put down the straw in his hand and opened the door.

He thought it was Li Qingxiu, but he didn't expect it to be Li Jiao. Looking at that pure and beautiful face, Li Goudan couldn't help but blush slightly, and he stuttered and asked: "Li...Miss Li, it's you."

Li Jiao nodded politely, and then looked inside, as if she was looking for someone.

Because the shop was a little dark, Li Jiao couldn't see clearly, so she asked, "Where is Brother Li Lei?"

When Li Goudan heard that Li Jiao was looking for Li Lei, the smile on his face froze. After a few seconds of pause, he said, "He's inside. Are you looking for him? I'll call him for you."

"That's troublesome." Li Jiao nodded.

"No trouble." After Li Goudan said decisively, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Erwazi, Miss Li is here to see you."

Li Jiao was startled: Er, brother Lei, it turns out Brother Lei has such a cute nickname.

Seeing Li Jiao coming to see Li Lei again, the other men looked at Li Lei a little differently.

Someone joked to Li Lei in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, you are very lucky."

Li Lei's face turned red and he immediately replied: "What nonsense are you talking about? They just came to me because they were familiar with me."

After Li Lei finished speaking, he walked up to Li regardless of other people's eyes, and Li Goudan also left wisely.

Before Li Lei could speak, Li Xiaojiao said with a serious face: "Brother Lei, since the incident of man-eating monsters happened, there are many man-eating monsters howling and howling every night in Lianzhou City. You should be careful. Don’t go out.”

"Ah, we know this. The man-eating monster is indeed noisy late at night."

Li Lei remembered that the man-eating monster under the wall kept screaming that night, so he didn't take Li Jiao's words to heart.

Seeing that Li Lei was not worried at all, Li Jiao felt anxious, frowned, and said in a more serious tone: "Brother Lei, this is not a trivial matter, I am serious."

Seeing that Li Jiao was so serious, Li Lei nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Li, we will pay attention. We will take turns keeping vigil in the yard at night to ensure everyone's safety."

After hearing this, Li Jiao felt a little relieved, "In that case, I will go back first. If you need anything, you can call me in the cellar of the warehouse."

After Li Jiao finished speaking, she turned around and left. Li Lei looked at her back with a hint of warmth in his heart.

The whole shop is just that big. Many men heard what Li Jiao just said, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

But Li Ashui said carelessly: "What are you afraid of? We still have Qingxiu, and we can't die as long as she is here."

When the men heard Li Ashui mention Li Qingxiu, they felt a lot more at ease. Now Li Qingxiu was like a reassurance in their hearts.

Night fell quickly, but the tired men couldn't sleep because of Li Jiao's words. Although the men closed their eyes, they didn't dare to sleep to death.

I'm afraid that if I oversleep, if something happens, I'll never wake up if I'm a step too late.

Suddenly, there was the sound of walking outside the door. The sound of walking was very uncomfortable, because it was the sound of shoes rubbing hard against the ground, and it sounded very fast.

Li Ashui was sleeping next to Li Datian. He lightly touched Li Ashui's arm and asked in a low voice: "Ashui, are you asleep?"
