Sunlight filtered into this dilapidated woodshed through the musty window bars.
The originally clean and bright light passed through the dust floating in the air, and seemed a little turbid and thick.
But the few drops of turbid water on the spider web hanging on the window were made sparkling by the sunlight.
These transparent and sparkling water drops have a crystal-like light, which is very inconsistent with the dirty and shabby atmosphere of the house.
It has been rainy in the autumn in the past few days, which has made the house with little waterproofing ability very humid.
Fortunately, because this house is located on a higher ground, at least there will be no water accumulation.
If the villagers repair this house properly, there is no big problem in converting it into a small warehouse.
But this house has an owner after all, and the owner of this house is not a very easy-to-get-together person.
At that time, the village chief Dundee considered that if they renovated the house, the owner of the house might come back for some reason.
That would be a bit troublesome.
Considering the man's usually care-taking character, the village chief Deng Di did not allow the villagers to make any modifications to the house.
Although repair projects such as repairing leaks in this house are allowed, it is a pity that no one is willing to invest in such a laborious and possibly thankless task.
So the villagers allowed the house to gradually decay.
As time went by, this originally decent house turned into what it looks like now.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the dilapidated condition of this house that it is not favored by those greedy wolf-headed men.
The three people hiding in this woodshed found temporary peace, but everyone knew very well that their current problems had not really been solved.
As long as they don't leave the village, they will not be safe.
"Nia, will Uncle Federer be okay?"
Lisa raised her concerns with Nia.
Federer wanted to go to that dangerous street again, which made her worry about the safety of Federer, a warm-hearted uncle.
Shortly after Federer left, Yuffie fell asleep on the bed.
In order not to disturb Yuffie who was resting, the two girls cleared a clean area outside the room and sat together leaning on each other.
"No, Uncle Federer is a very reliable man."
Nia shook her head slightly, denying Lisa's worries.
Nia was leaning against a wardrobe with several holes, planning to take a nap.
She stretched her legs, which were already so sore that they were weak, and stretched her limbs so that her body could relax.
It seemed that the force was too much, so that some joints made a "crackling" sound.
Although there is a lot of dust and moss on the wardrobe behind her, it is much cleaner than elsewhere. For these two girls who both love to be clean, this is a barely acceptable position.
Lisa also sat next to Nia with her arms folded across her chest and her knees curled up.
Unlike Nia, who had a smile on her face and didn't look too stressed, Lisa looked worried.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about your mother?"
Nia noticed Lisa's condition, and she knew what Lisa was thinking just after thinking for a moment.
"Um……"
Lisa responded softly, confirming Nia's guess.
She lowered her head deeply, nodded her head on her bent knees, and hid her entire face in her arms.
"Mom must be very angry when we go back, right?"
"How could it be? Auntie is such a good person, she will definitely understand you."
Nia tried to comfort her. But Lisa still looked depressed, and it seemed that Nia's words could not change her mind.
Lisa's mother is indeed a gentle person, especially she loves Lisa, her only daughter, and is afraid that anything will happen to Lisa.
Lisa usually hides the bullying from her mother.
She was afraid that her mother, who was so busy at home that she became ill from overwork, would have another pressure on her heart.
If it weren't for Lisa's mother's poor health, which forced part of the family's burden to fall on Lisa's shoulders, Lisa would probably be as free as Nia.
"No, Nia."
Lisa raised her head slightly, with tears in her eyes.
"I came here to find you by myself, and my mother was angry at that time."
"Eh?!"
Hearing Lisa's words, Nia couldn't help but fall into astonishment.
She originally thought that Lisa was only troubled by her delay in going back, which made her mother worry.
But she never expected that such a well-behaved and weak Lisa would go against her mother's wishes and follow Federer to find her.
"So...is that so?"
Nia was originally wondering why Lisa came to her?
She didn't think Lisa's mother would let Lisa come to this dangerous place. She had thought about many people who might come to save her mother and daughter.
But there is no trace of Lisa in it.
Because Nia always thought that Lisa, who had always been timid, would not come, but Lisa came anyway.
At this time, Nia had a new understanding of the girl who had always been hiding behind her.
Lisa touched Nia's shoulder with her slender shoulder. She buried her head and spoke in a very thin voice:
"Na...Nia."
Hearing Lisa's slight call, Nia turned to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
The girl next to Nia was very thin. When her shoulder was touched just now, she could even feel a little stinging pain from her shoulder blade.
"We're friends, right?"
"Of course."
Faced with Lisa's question, Nia answered without hesitation, and she added: "We are friends forever."
A person is in the most critical moment. At this time, regardless of the danger that he may be implicated, the only people who still stand by that person's side, apart from family members, are... close friends who are like family members.
"Nia, just in case..."
"What if?"
Seeing Lisa's hesitant expression, Nia guessed that this sentimental girl was probably thinking about something bad again.
"just in case……"
Lisa seemed to be afraid that Nia would misunderstand something, and kept repeating: "I mean 'in case'!"
"Well, it's okay."
Nia nodded, letting the girl next to her feel free to speak her mind.
"just in case……"
Lisa sighed and finally continued, "We can't go back together... What should we do?"
"No, there won't be such a thing."
Nia turned around, her knees touching the ground through her white skirt, and she reached out to grab Lisa's shoulders.
"Believe me, we can all go back!"
Nia was a little excited at this time. She took a deep breath and then said:
"You, me, mom and Uncle Federer will all be fine!"
