Chapter 203 The Ragged Sack in the Outhouse

These days there's practically no nightlife, especially in the countryside. After dark, almost every household goes to bed early to save on electricity and lamp oil.

At 10 p.m. sharp, the entire Qishui Brigade fell silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects adding a touch of joy to the quiet night.

Just then, the two doors of the side courtyard of the educated youth compound opened at the same time. Xie Weidong and You Jin exchanged a glance, and after confirming that there was no one else around, they quietly walked towards Sun Yuxi's door.

They had originally planned to open a small gate in the side courtyard, but they felt it would be redundant, so they abandoned the idea. Now, if the two of them wanted to avoid the main gate and leave the educated youth compound, they could only use the back gate of the female educated youth's side.

Hearing the noise, Sun Yuxi quickly opened the door and whispered to the two people, "Come in quickly."

Then, he led the two men from his small house to the backyard gate: "You two be careful, don't get caught. I've been listening for any noise. When you come back, throw a stone into the yard and I'll open the gate for you."

"Okay, don't worry!" Xie Weidong looked at the girl in front of him and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, you can wait inside. It's cool at night, so don't wait in the yard."

"I understand, go ahead!" Sun Yuxi nodded with a smile, her eyes full of excitement.

Actually, she really wanted to come along, but she was very self-aware that she would be a burden if she came along, and might be easily discovered, so she could only obediently wait at home.

Xie Weidong and You Jin quickly disappeared outside the gate of the educated youth compound under the cover of night.

"Brother Dong, this is the sack I was talking about!" Eugene led Xie Weidong to a patch of weeds in the west of the village, put on gloves, moved a large rock, and pulled out a lump of something from inside.

Xie Weidong raised his hand and touched the mask on his face. Thanks to Sun Yuxi's quick thinking, she was worried that the two of them would run into people while walking in the village in the middle of the night. Although the chances of that were extremely slim, it was still better to be careful. So she specially gave him and Eugene each a mask to cover their faces.

I don't know if I'll run into anyone, but the mask is really useful now, that burlap sack... it smelled so bad!

"What are you two doing here?"

Fang Meng had just come from the old cowshed when he saw two figures lurking around suspiciously from afar. He almost cocked his gun, but then he suddenly heard Eugene call out "Brother Dong..."

Xie Weidong and Eugene were almost startled by Fang Meng, but then Moonlight saw who it was and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Meng, you're back?"

"Why are you back at this time?"

The main problem is that it's my first time doing something like this, and I'm still a bit inexperienced!

Fang Meng nodded: "You two came from the back mountain at the west end of the village. What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Just as Fang Meng finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and he was immediately hit in the face by a sour and pungent smell. His expression changed instantly, and he took several steps back. His handsome face, which was usually roguish, was now filled with shock and indescribable emotions.

He had no idea that his two buddies had this hobby!

"What kind of expressions are those? Let me explain!" Xie Weidong raised his hand to cover his face, utterly exhausted.

"Huh, what's wrong?" Eugene looked at the two of them, puzzled.

Xie Weidong sighed silently. Why did he always feel so out of place when he was with these people?

After looking around, Xie Weidong realized the place was fairly secluded, and then quickly recounted the events.

Fang Meng's face, which had been full of curiosity, turned extremely ugly after hearing these words. If you looked closely, you could even see a faint killing intent in his wolf-like eyes.

"Let's go back tonight!" Fang Meng took a deep breath, suppressing the violence in his heart, and whispered to the two of them.

"Ah, not going to beat that guy up?" Eugene looked at Fang Meng in shock, then looked heartbroken, as if Fang Meng had done something he deeply hated.

Xie Weidong's eyes flickered slightly, and his brows furrowed: "What's wrong? Isn't that guy home tonight?"

He didn't think Fang Meng would just let things go; he figured only a simple-minded kid like Eugene would be so careless.

"Well, on my way back, I passed through the county town and happened to run into Xu Baoqiang and a few hooligans loitering on the street. This matter isn't urgent; I'll find an opportunity."

"Okay!"

Xie Weidong nodded, and even reflected on himself, feeling that he still lacked experience. He and Eugene hadn't properly investigated the situation before thinking about kidnapping Xu Laosan.

"When you find an opportunity, remember to take me and Jinzi with you. We can keep watch for you and gain some experience." Xie Weidong looked at Fang Meng seriously.

"That's right, that's right, Brother Meng, you must remember to call me and Brother Dong too."

Fang Meng: "???"

Why gain this experience? Did these two suddenly develop some strange interest?

However, Fang Meng naturally wouldn't refuse such a simple request from his friends, and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll tell you two later. Let's go, it's time to go back!"

The three quickly returned to the educated youth compound, passing through Sun Yuxi's house as before. They learned that the plan had been canceled. Although it was a pity, they couldn't possibly run to the county town in the middle of the night to look for a scumbag. If they were caught by the night patrol team, it would really be a loss.

When Bai Nuo was woken up by a knock on the door the next day, she was still in a daze. She thought she heard her second brother's voice.

Bai Nuo quickly sat up, got off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her slippers, and ran to open the front door. She immediately saw the man across the street making breakfast in the kitchen.

Fang Meng turned his head to look when he heard the noise. The little girl was wearing a light pink long nightgown with Chinese knot buttons made of soft cotton fabric. Her hair had grown quite a bit, almost reaching her shoulders. The hair on the top of her head looked fluffy, as if it had exploded. It was clear that this girl was not a peaceful sleeper.

However, with that soft, cute, and adorable little face, she looks incredibly cute no matter how you look at her, especially cute, absolutely adorable!

Fang Meng smiled, put down what he was holding, and walked over, raising his hand to cover the little girl's head: "What's wrong? Still half asleep? Go wash up and change your clothes, then come and have breakfast!"

"Second Brother!" The little girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at the person in front of her with a smile.

"Okay!" Fang Meng nodded with a smile and gently patted the little girl's head.

"Hurry up, breakfast will be ready soon!"

"good!"

The little girl obediently turned around and ran to the inner room to tidy up the kang (a heated brick bed). Fang Meng closed the front door behind her before turning around to continue cooking.

Bai Nuo tidied up the bedding and pillows on the kang (a heated brick bed), arranged the cushions that she had kicked into a mess, changed into the clothes she was going to wear today, and threw the pajamas she had taken off back into her space and gave them to 925 to wash.

After tidying up, Bai Nuo opened the curtains between the inner and outer rooms. As the weather got better and better in June, she would open the back window for ventilation during the day and open all the curtains to let the sunlight shine in directly.

After finishing all that, I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth, and combed my hair. Once everything was in order, I happily went out to have breakfast across the street with the small bag and water bottle that the system had prepared for me.
