Bai Haitang and Lamei didn't even realize that they were being targeted by the two groups and followed them all the way.
The two of them talked and laughed and continued walking towards Qiaotou Village.
"Sister, what did you wish for when you lit the river lanterns?" Lamei asked.
"I hope that our dyeing shop will get better and better, that Tiantian will grow up healthily, and that everyone around him will be safe and happy," Bai Haitang said, looking at the slightly dim night sky.
It is said that the river lanterns floating far away will eventually turn into stars in the sky.
"Sister also hopes that Brother Datong, the top pick in high school, will come home early, madam, top pick, right?" Lamei said jokingly.
"It's good to be safe. There is no proof of fame and wealth, so why bother trying so hard to always mislead someone. What about you, what wish have you made? Isn't it to meet a decent man early and marry yourself off in a hurry?" Haitang asked.
"Sister always makes fun of me. What's the matter? I only have one wish, and that is to hope that Sister Haitang's wish will come true." Lamei's gentle words shook Bai Haitang's heartstrings again.
The two pushed the cart and walked under the silent starry sky and moonlight.
At this moment, Haitang knew that no matter what happened, Lamei, a friend, would always accompany her.
It is extremely precious to encounter such a friendship in life.
After walking for a while, the sky became darker and darker, and Lamei seemed to feel something...
"Sister Haitang, did you see a few dark figures just now? They seemed to be crawling through the woods. Do you think they were wild animals?" Lamei always swallows a few mouthfuls of saliva when she is nervous.
"I'm still young and don't want to be eaten by wild beasts..." Lamei became more and more frightened as she thought about it.
Bai Haitang didn't pay attention to the woods on both sides of the path. He just thought about the past and the future under the lonely night sky.
When Haitang turned her eyes to the dark woods on the left and right, she didn't see any black shadows.
"Maybe it's just the shadow of the trees." Haitang said.
The two of them quickened their pace and continued walking. No matter what it was, it was better to get home early. They had already walked more than half of the way, and they were not too far from Qiaotou Village.
Country people go to bed early, so it was quiet along the way. Not a single villager passed by, not even a dog barking.
This was the first time the two women walked at night.
"Sister Haitang, you, look..." Lamei said with a trembling voice and pulled Haitang's arm while pushing the cart. Haitang felt that her fingers had become stiff.
Looking up, I saw two strong men standing not far from the road with their hands on their hips.
At first glance, it seems that the person who came here is not a good person.
Although you can't see clearly, you can feel that you are staring at Begonia and Wintersweet.
Haitang and Lamei stopped and looked at each other. They really encountered a bad guy who blocked the road at night. Lamei's anxious eyes asked what to do?
Haitang turned the wooden cart around, pulled Wintersweet and walked calmly in the opposite direction.
Lamei wanted to turn back to see if the two people were still there, but was stopped by Haitang.
The two of them walked about three to five meters when three burly men appeared in front of them. This time, even the road to the county seat was blocked.
"Sister Haitang, what should we do, what should we do, who did we meet..." Lamei almost bit her lip, feeling scared for the first time in her life.
There are dense woods on both sides of the path, and there are also slope ditches dug by the villagers. It is impossible to run over and get rid of them.
They were surrounded from the front and back, and they only had a small cart in their hands.
At this time, Lamei really regretted not bringing Sister Haitang's gunpowder with her. She had not seen the power of gunpowder with her own eyes.
