I really enjoy this feeling, and I also let him have a taste of being partial to me. It really is a changing world.

Nier found a good place with lush trees near the tent. Even with such a heavy rain, the ground was not wet at all, and the terrain was high, so the water did not flow over.

I took out the firewood I brought from home, piled it up, and lit it. In the dim environment, a cluster of warm and bright flames dispelled the cold and damp air.

I couldn't help but take my hands out of my pockets and move them closer to the fire, thinking how warm it was. The temperature went straight from the palms of my hands into my body, even warming my feet.

He turned around and shouted to the three people, "Come over here and warm yourself by the fire."

"Come on, come on."

Niu Li trotted over here and just felt a little cold.

I followed my sister's example, squatting there and stretching out my hands.

It was the first time that I didn’t go home at night, and it felt very novel to stay in this environment.

Because this place is quite far from the village and no one from the same village was found nearby, it is not clear what happened.

The third brother and Yan Zi also gathered around the campfire.

The flames reflected on everyone's face, making it look red.

The four of them gathered together and instantly felt warmer.

Niu Li's stomach began to rumble non-stop, and the third brother who was far away could hear it.

"Let's make something to eat and boil some water, and make do with it tonight."

Fortunately, I bought some snacks before, and there was also some dried meat that Ni'er brought back from her master, so I can fill my stomach first.

These two kinds of food are considered the best in the surrounding area.

Niu Li had never thought that he could eat such delicious food. He used to be a little envious of Fugui eating those rotten snacks, but now he is not envious at all.

Holding snacks in one hand and dried meat in the other, he was eating happily. Who would have thought that he was fleeing?

After finishing a piece of jerky, I smacked my lips. I felt a little thirsty and wanted to drink some water.

When I got to the spring, I scooped up a handful of water and put it into my mouth. I felt that it was a little different from what I usually drink, and it was a little astringent.

"Sister, try this water. It tastes a little strange."

Nier stood up, walked towards the spring, scooped up a small handful, sucked it into her mouth, and tasted it slowly. It did feel a little different.

It seems like I've had a similar smell before, and it always seemed to be after a heavy rain.

It’s just that the water we drink at home has been precipitated in large vats, so the taste is not that strong.

"Then drink less of this water, wait until the water in the pot boils, and then drink that."

Niu Li nodded.

It is easier to be discovered if you light a bonfire at night.

A man poked his head out from between the dense trees, trying to know who was here.

It turned out to be the third child.

So he walked over and said, "You guys are here. You really know how to find a place."

Yan Zi looked up and saw that this was the neighbor who had a good relationship with Lao San, so she invited him to warm up by the fire with her.

The man did not refuse. It was a bit cold and there was an empty seat, so he stood by the campfire, bent over, and immediately felt much drier.

He rubbed his hands together, spread them out, and placed them on the side of the fire. "Hey, Third Brother, did you ask your eldest brother and the others to help carry the things?"

After hearing this, the third brother was stunned. Everyone knew that he didn't get along with them, so why would they let them bring things? Besides, they didn't have anything to bring.

He looked at the other person with some confusion and shook his head, "What do you mean by that?"

The man's eyes widened. The old lady and the others were too much. They actually went to his house to steal things while the third son was not at home.

"When I came here just now, I saw them parked in front of your house. I heard that you asked them to bring something."

The third brother could no longer hide his surprised expression, his mouth was wide open and there was disgust in his eyes.

"Some people came forward to ask, but were scolded. I thought, how could someone steal in broad daylight, and they are your real relatives."

Yan Zi's face darkened. These people were really too much. The third child fell from such a high place, broke his leg, and almost lost his life. The old lady was worried about the cost of his treatment, so she didn't give him treatment and was heartbroken and divided the family.

Now they are going into my house in the name of relatives and shamelessly saying they are helping to carry things. What kind of monsters are they?

When Ni'er and Niu Li heard the noise, they came back. They didn't expect that such a thing would happen. They really underestimated them.

The old lady is lying on the kang and can't move, but she is still acting like a troublemaker. She needs to be disciplined.

Niu Li clenched his fists when he heard this, and regretted that he was too young to fight them head-on.

On second thought, forceful confrontation is indeed not a good method. I have to find a way that suits me and will not be discovered by my father.

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. They decided to wait for a good opportunity in the future and there was no need to rush.

The man continued to speak.

"Now that I think about it, it's definitely not right. The boss broke the door lock. If you let him go, you must give him the key."

The more Yan Zi thought about it, the more scared she became. It was really scary to stay in the same village with such a person. What if he broke in in the middle of the night? If it happened once, there would be a second time. She should change to a stronger key.

Ni'er and Yanzi thought the same thing. It turned out that their uncle had such a skill, but it was really not being used in the right place. They should buy a better lock so that he could never pry it open again.

The man spoke slower, looking a little confused, with his head tilted to one side.

"I was waiting for them to leave before I left. It seems ~ I didn't take anything out of your house."

The third brother lowered his head and rubbed his face with his hands. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. How could he have such a family? He couldn't escape it even if the family was divided.

"Yes, everything in the house is here, and they really can't take anything."

The man felt a little relieved. There had been a lot of noise when they split up the family. If something was really taken away, it would be a shame for the third brother's family.

Just as I was about to comfort him, I remembered something.

"By the way, their family blocked the door tightly. I couldn't get close even if I wanted to see. I just heard a loud noise, like someone knocking on the wall, but I'm not sure what they were doing."

After saying this, the surroundings fell into silence.

Ni'er felt that the uncle must have heard correctly. He was just knocking on the wall. Based on her understanding of them, he must be very angry because he didn't get what he wanted, so he was taking it out on the wall.

Another thing is that they have always been narrow-minded and can't stand others doing better than they are. It is normal for them to cause some damage to such a spacious house because they can't live in it.

The third brother lowered his head even more, feeling a little uncomfortable. This man always spoke honestly and never exaggerated. He used to think that if the old lady had any difficulties, he could still help her. How could he treat himself like this? Their hearts were made of stone and could not be warmed at all.

Only when you are short of food and clothes will you remember that you exist.
