The next day was a sunny day, and early in the morning the fields were lively and energetic with the rumbling of plowing and the sounds of people talking in the village.
Zhou Yan was washing up in the courtyard when he heard someone shouting for Lu Jianguo outside the iron gate, and when he saw that all three of their families were upstairs, he walked over to open the door.
The visitor happened to be someone he knew, so he side-stepped to let the other person in.
Lu Baiming handed him a small bundle of beans in his hand, "I won't go in, this is what my mother asked me to send over, there aren't many vegetables alive in the ground, you don't mind."
Zhou Yan extended his hand to take it and politely thanked him.
Lu Baiming also didn't mind his detachment, and continued, "Also, my uncle asked me to come over to say that it's my turn to be on guard at the intersection with Lu Baichuan in the second half of the night tonight, and I'll be there to hand over before midnight, so please pass on the message."
Zhou Yan asked, "Then do you know when Uncle Jianguo and I will be on guard duty?"
Zhou Yan did not call Lu Jianguo Dad in front of outsiders, this was something they had discussed, rural parents, more is better than less.
Lu Baiming smiled and said: "Uncle Jianguo is old, the platoon is the day after tomorrow in the first half of the night, you are a guest, now it is safe for the time being, so there is no platoon for you."
They were too polite, Zhou Yan fell a little embarrassed, and also laughed and said, "You talk to your uncle and put me on the platoon, there's no reason why Uncle Jianguo and the older ones have gone on guard duty, and I'm still lazy here."
Lu Baiming smiled a little deeper, nodded his head and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him later." The remaining light swept to the towel he was holding in his hand and said, "I still have some work to do, so I won't bother you!"
Zhou Yan nodded, and when he walked away, he locked the iron door again, this was a habit he had formed in his last life, he always felt that he had to lock the door to feel safe, otherwise he was always worried that a zombie would come in by accident.
While eating, he relayed Lu Baiming's words to a few people and said, "I'll be on guard duty with the seniors tonight!"
Lu Jianguo nodded and said, "Then let's go together, next time when it's your turn to be on duty let Bacchuan accompany you as well, the two of you will also have a care."
Even if Lu Jianguo didn't say it, Lu Bachuan was still planning to do so, so he naturally nodded his head and said yes.
Lu Jianguo faintly looked at them and said, "Yesterday it rained heavily, there is no work to do in the ground, the two pieces of land to be plowed, today your third uncle will plow it, I'll just go on guard duty then, you go to bed early in the afternoon, when the evening time arrives I'll wake you up with your mother again, the second half of the night will not be easy to be sleepy. "
Zhou Yan thought about it and said, "We'll go inside to rest then, it's quieter inside, just bring the alarm clock."
Lu Jianguo nodded, "That's fine."
Because they wanted to rest early, dinner Ye Yuan Rong arranged it a little earlier, and the meal was served before five o'clock, and after the meal, they were driven inside to rest.
Because they had something to do at night, they forced themselves to rest even if they didn't want to sleep, and fell asleep slowly after calming down.
Zhou Yan woke up at a little over 10:00 p.m. He is now much more energetic than most people, spending about an hour a day to meditate and settle in, and then sleeping for another four or five hours, and then the whole day is energetic.
Seeing that it was still early, he sat cross-legged and began to settle into the meditation.
It was already past eleven when he came out from settling in, Zhou Yan quickly pushed Lu Baichuan, woke him up and said, "It's getting late, get up!"
Lu Baichuan woke up in a daze, the house was dark and he couldn't even find his clothes.
Zhou Yan was able to see clearly, so he even handed him the clothes and asked again, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat in the past?"
It's now been more than six hours since their last meal, and even if it's okay now, they'll probably be hungry in the second half of the night, Lu Baichuan thought to himself, "Is there anything ready? Just eat whatever you want."
Zhou Yan said, "There's quite a bit of loach soup left over from dinner, how about the next noodle?"
Lu Bachuan was naturally fine with it.
At night everywhere is dark, Zhou Yan searched around the kitchen before finding a short unused candle.
Lu Bachuan knocked, so he lit the candle first before bringing Lu Bachuan out.
Hanging noodles made simple, water boiled out into the remaining mud loach soup can be eaten, the two of them on the light of the beans each finished a large bowl of noodles, see the time is about right, put the bowl in the sink soaked directly out of the door.
When they arrived, Lu Baiming was already there, chatting with the two people who were on duty in the middle of the night, and there was a fire pot lit next to it, which emitted a faint glow from the firewood, illuminating the next circle of land.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the company's website and see that the company's website is a good place to start.
Those two were older and were not quite able to stay up all night, so when they saw them coming over, they greeted and went back to rest.
Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan sat down on the recliner vacated by the two men, and after staring wide-eyed with Lu Baiming across the room for a while, Zhou Yan frostily asked, "Are we just going to keep watch tonight?"
Lu Baiming stretched out, laying back in the recliner, and said, "Or else what? What else do you want to do? Want to play a game or fight the landlord?" Pausing without waiting for Zhou Yan's reply, he added: "I knew you would definitely follow, so I brought my own recliner, otherwise you two would have to squeeze into a chair tonight."
Lu Bachuan ignored him and pulled Zhou Yan to lie down as well, explaining, "They've set it up over the intersection, with ropes tied to the cliffs on both sides, and bells tied to the ropes, several at different heights, so if something comes over, the bells will make a sound." He also pointed to the big willow tree next to it, "There's also a gong hanging on that, if anything happens, just knock the gong and the village people will rush over, don't worry."
Zhou Yan looked confused: "How do you know that?"
They stayed together all day, but there was still something that Lu Bachuan knew about that he didn't know about.
Lu Baiming left his mouth open, "Everyone in our village knows about this!"
Zhou Yan looked at Lu Bachuan with a bullying expression on his face.
Before waiting for any reaction from Lu Baichuan, next to Lu Baiming but swish, sat up from the recliner and said: "I say you two pay attention ah, in front of me is indifferent, by the village people know the impact is not too good after all ah!"
Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "Good!"
Zhou Yan said curiously, "How did you find out?"
Lu Baiming: "Don't look at who I am, I thought there was something wrong when he was blocking wine for you at my house that day, who would block wine for a younger brother to get drunk, not a younger sister, and then you two were holding hands in the courtyard, don't think no one saw you, I'm a fire eye."
Zhou Yan: "I think you're a gossip!" After seeing that he knew the relationship between the two anyway, he looked brightly at Lu Bachuan for approval: "Don't you think so, senpai?"
Lu Baiming said angrily, "Don't show your love in front of a single dog, single dogs are also dogs, you can not love, but please don't hurt?"
Lu Bachuan faintly said, "Where is the girl who came back with you?"
As if he had been nudged, Lu Baiming instantly quieted down and said with a helpless face, "Don't tell me you didn't see who that was." After a pause, he said, "I really just happened to run into her on my way back, you said it's the same place, you can't leave her behind, right? My dad almost beat me to death over this."
Zhou Yan: "Speak as if you haven't liked others, otherwise why would your dad want to beat you up."
Lu Baiming heard him say that, so he knew that he must know what old things were going on, and seriously explained: "That was many years ago, who didn't like the wrong person when they were young, and now it's long past."
Zhou Yan was righteous: "I've never liked anyone who made a mistake!"
Lu Baiming mouthed, "Okay, okay, got it!" But in your heart, you silently spit out, the person you like doesn't feel so right in most people's eyes either.
Zhou Yan saw that he wasn't willing to say more, so he laid down to rest.
After a while and as if remembering something, he asked Lu Bachuan beside him, "How come one of you is called Lu Bachuan and the other Lu Baming, it sounds like two brothers."
Lu Bachuan laughed and said, "Hundred characters is our generation, many people in our village are named this way, there are also those named Lu Baiqing, Lu Bafei!"
Lu Baiming was speechless: "I said why are you so owed and protective of your food, where's that aloofness you saw me with this morning?"
Zhou Yan: "Isn't that not familiar with you?"
Lu Baiming got in the mood, "So what now? Ripe?"
Zhou Yan said, "Half cooked!"
From time to time, they would add firewood to the nearby firepit to keep the fire from dying out.
It was almost four o'clock in the morning when the dew began to fall, and the three of them covered up the thin blankets they had brought with them.
The moon and stars in the sky are hidden in the clouds, and the distant green hills cannot be seen at all.
Zhou Yan saw that it was only about an hour before dawn, so he said softly, "Do you two want to sleep for a while, I'll just keep watch and call you if there's any problem."
Both of them were cautious people, naturally they would not agree, Lu Bachuan yawned and said, "It's fine, not too sleepy yet, let's keep watch together."
Zhou Yan didn't insist any longer, only more quietly keeping an eye on the movement there.
When the fish belly white began to appear in the east, Zhou Yan thought the night was over, and Lu Baichuan and Lu Baiming relaxed and drifted off to sleep in their chairs.
At this time, Zhou Yan heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the other side of the road, there is still some distance from the intersection where they set up the bell, and the speed is not very fast, it is expected to take a while before the bell will ring.
Zhou Yan even got up and pushed Lu Baichuan and Lu Baiming and said softly, "Something is coming!"
