Chapter 367 Taking Action in the Middle of the Night
Mother Shulin also nodded in agreement and said to Yang Shulin:
"Go find the hatchet at home and check again in the evening.
If there is no movement by midnight, we will break in.
No matter what, we can't let her cause trouble in the village tomorrow!"
After Yang Shulin agreed, he went out to find a hatchet.
In the west room, Bai Xing'er was lying on the kang, thinking about something, and fell asleep unknowingly.
There was no sound in the entire west room, which made Yang Shulin and his mother very anxious.
During this time, Yang Shulin secretly went to the door of the west room, lay on the door and listened for a while, but did not hear any sound.
The little girl was leaning against the door and looking out, but was glared at fiercely by Yang Shulin and shrank back in fear.
Yang Shulin wanted to pry the door open, but was afraid of waking up Bai Xing'er, so he had to retreat back to the east room.
In the east room, Mother Shulin had just put Yang Shubao to sleep. When she saw him come in, she hurriedly asked:
"What's going on? Is there any movement?"
Yang Shulin shook his head and whispered:
"There's no sound in that room. Mom, do you think she ate that thing and died?"
Mother Shulin frowned deeply, pondered for a while, and then said:
"I remember that when you eat that thing, the poison will take effect and you will writhe for a while!
Son, don't stand on the ground. It's cold there. Go to the kang and warm up first."
Without even turning his head, Yang Shulin peeked through the crack in the door towards the west room and whispered:
"How can I sit still? Mom, if this doesn't work, let's just take action!"
After hearing this, Shulin's mother was afraid that her son would really go out and do something, so she quickly got off the bed and grabbed him.
After closing the door tightly, he lowered his voice and said:
"Son, that woman is not an ordinary woman.
When she wields that big sword, even the two of us together can't defeat her!
Listen to me, stay calm.
Even if she really didn't eat, we have to do it in the middle of the night."
Shulin's mother persuaded Yang Shulin for a while before he climbed onto the kang.
In the west room.
Around midnight, Bai Xing'er woke up in a daze.
The room was dark. I looked up at the stove and it was pitch black.
I forgot to seal the stove before going to bed, and the firewood inside burned out.
Bai Xing'er was too lazy to get up. She pulled the quilt beside her over herself and just lay there quietly.
I wanted to continue sleeping, but after waking up I couldn’t fall asleep again.
After lying down for a while, my stomach started to rumble.
She remembered that she had not eaten the porridge before going to bed, so she fumbled for the bowl and found it was cold to the touch.
She was too lazy to heat it up, so she just took the bowl and took a sip. The cold paste had a bitter taste.
Bai Xing'er swallowed it with all her might, but she didn't want to take a second sip.
After an unknown amount of time, she drifted off to sleep again.
In her dream, she didn't sleep well. It seemed like someone was shaking her hard, and she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.
Later, it felt like my mouth and nose were covered, and I even had difficulty breathing.
At this moment, she heard a loud bang and woke up completely.
She gasped for breath, but soon realized that the noise was someone trying to pry the door open.
Bai Xing'er endured the discomfort and groped towards the kang to find her big knife.
However, she felt uncomfortable all over at this moment. Not only was she dizzy and short of breath, but even her hands and feet were numb.
With difficulty dragging the big knife on the ground, she quickly moved towards the door.
Outside the door, Yang Shulin accidentally bumped into it, and after making that noise, he was so scared that he stopped moving.
He leaned against the door to listen, and was overjoyed to see that it was quiet inside.
Bai Xing'er didn't wake up despite such a loud noise, I'm afraid she's dead!
He began to move freely, no longer caring about the noise, trying to pry the door open as quickly as possible.
The lady from the forest next to them was also very happy. She put down the stick at hand and helped.
In the room, Bai Xing'er endured the discomfort and hid by the door.
While prying the door open from outside, she also figured out the current situation.
Yang Shulin and his mother had no good intentions, but his current situation was very wrong.
The windows of this room were very small and had been boarded up before winter.
Now I want to escape through the window, but it won't work.
The whole house was not big, and there was no place to hide people except the boxes she brought.
Bai Xing'er knew that the only way to survive now was to escape!
After figuring it out, she twisted her wrists hard a few times, and the pain made her dizzy mind clearer.
She stood quietly by the door, placed the knife upright at her feet, and found the right posture to ensure that she could swing the knife out as quickly as possible.
After waiting for a while, the door was finally opened.
Yang Shulin walked into the house nervously and excitedly, holding a hatchet. His eyes were fixed on the kang in front of him, and he didn't notice that there was a person in the dark corner near the door.
When he took a step forward, Bai Xing'er raised the big knife with great effort and chopped towards the poplar forest.
The blade swept across, and the moonlight from outside poured in, reflecting onto the face of Shulin Niang who was following behind.
"Ah! Watch out behind you!"
When Yang Shulin heard the sound from behind, it was too late. The knife hit him directly on the back.
Although Bai Xing'er no longer had much strength, the knife still cut through the thick cotton coat due to inertia and cut the flesh on his back.
The sudden pain made Yang Shulin scream, and then he fell to the ground and began to wail.
When Shulin Niang heard the screams, she was extremely frightened.
She was so scared that she screamed, raised the stick and hit Bai Xing'er.
Bai Xing'er had no strength at this time. She just turned her head slightly to avoid the blow and let the stick hit her shoulder.
At the same time, he raised the knife with great effort and slashed at Shulin Niang's stomach.
Because he had no strength left, the damage caused by this blow was much lighter than the previous one.
But because the distance was so close, the skin was still cut.
The stick in Shulin Niang's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and she fell to the ground with a scream.
Bai Xing'er ignored the pain in her shoulder and took the opportunity to run out dragging the knife.
Seeing the man trying to run away, Shulin Niang wanted to chase him but she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. She could only shout:
"Bitch, stop it, come out and stop this bitch!"
Mother Shulin shouted loudly, and the little bitch who was hiding at the door and peeping was woken up long ago.
The little girl heard her mother's shouting and didn't dare not come out. She whispered a warning.
"Second sister, please close the door and don't come out no matter what happens!"
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
Looking at Bai Xing'er who was staggering in front of him with a knife in her drag, he looked carefully at his mother and elder brother who were still screaming in the house.
The little girl quickly chased after Bai Xing'er, and after leaving the house, she looked back.
Seeing that no one was following him, he quickly ran a few steps, approached Bai Xing'er, and whispered:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
As he said that, he came forward to help Bai Xing'er open the gate.
Bai Xing'er looked at her with complicated eyes.
She had already figured it out just now. The bowl of porridge that the bitch brought over was drugged.
But I just didn’t figure out whether this child knew about this.
Now hearing what she said, it seems that the child knows.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was opened and Jian Ya made way.
Bai Xing'er didn't have time to think about it, and staggered towards the north courtyard, dragging the knife.
