It was dusk again, and the setting sun had already set in the sky.
There was a man sitting silently on the tower in the middle of the manor, watching the afterglow slowly disappearing, he stood up, and he was about to return to his room.
Another night began, and he was the night watchman of this manor.
"Uncle Si, it hasn't been peaceful these days, you have to spend more snacks at night!" At this moment someone below shouted.
The night watchman disappeared from the lookout of the tower with an "Oh", and the people below were not displeased by his performance.
This is nothing to reprimand, it's really because the night watchman is the fourth uncle of the manor owner.
How is his nephew's property different from his? He was more careful than his nephew, and his nephew's call to him was only a reminder.
The setting of this manor imitated the structure of the Francis Church, but a tallest tower was built in the middle of the village, overlooking the surroundings.
This pointed tower formed a psychological deterrent to the surrounding Xiao Xiao like a sentry.
And this is only the middle tower. There are turrets and tall walls on the four corners of the manor, and there are big dogs scattered within the walls.
It is not ordinary people who can raise dogs this year.
As long as the night-watching dog barks, the people on duty in the turret will rush out, so what's to worry about
The night watchman who returned to the room did not take off his clothes. He poured a cup of herbal tea on the table, and then he stood at the window again with the tea cup.
A hundred people have a hundred people's lives, some people are destined to live and live, and some people are destined to stay alone.
No one except his nephew knows the story of this night watchman, why there is no descendant of people in the fifty.
Originally, he would lie down to sleep in the middle of the night, but today, since his nephew said, then he will not sleep anymore. His choice is to drink tea.
Of course he understood his nephew's thoughts.
It is not easy to seek wealth these years, and it is even more difficult to keep wealth.
Now the southeast coast, especially the ferry area leading to the Zhoushan Islands, is completely chaotic.
First, the pirate king Wang Qi was killed by the court, and his original five tiger tribes began to fight each other.
Then the navy of the imperial court came and destroyed the trading center on Shuangyu Island.
Then the imperial navy took away the various gold and silver treasures that they had seized of the Han Chinese Yingren Folangjiren.
Some officials in Zhejiang have been killed on Shuangyu Island because of smuggling, and there is no one to supervise the security of the coastline.
It's just that under such a chaotic situation, there are still large and small groups of Yingren coming over from the Japanese island by boat from time to time.
Nowadays, the days in Japan are not easy, but those Ying people have already regarded the looting in the Han land as a gold rush, which is not the end of the imperial court.
At this time, the Han Chinese who had been in the smuggling business on the coastline were faced with new choices.
As soon as Wang Wei died, most of the five tiger tribes were wiped out by the court navy. At this time, they could no longer maintain their strength against the Yingren.
So what to do? Many of them naturally merged with Yingren, and there are even many Yingren leaders who have obtained command of the team after the merge.
As soon as they obtained the commanding authority of the team, they adapted the Han Chinese who joined them, and those Han Chinese who joined later also retained the hairstyle of the Ying people.
However, after all, among the Han people, some people can't get along with the Ying people, so they pulled up a team to protect themselves.
In such a mess, it seems that there are countless opportunities to make a fortune, and it seems that everyone will lose their lives at any time and everyone is in danger.
Isn't it just a chicken feather in this situation
But in the situation of chicken feathers in this place, a piece of news spreads here.
According to the legend, there was a group of thieves who specialize in black food, and several of them have been robbed by others.
Those few are in the surrounding land, and they are considered to be well-known people, all of whom are engaged in the business of smuggling.
As for the losses of the robbed houses, people naturally refused to say, but there was news that one of them had also been killed by two night-keepers.
People are not rich without foreign wealth, and horses have no night and grass and are not fat.
In their homes, which of them is not the property that just licked the blood on the tip of the knife.
The night watchman naturally knows that his family is also cooperating with Yingren, and even now there are eight Yingren living in the room under his tower, and the leader of Yingren comes to discuss cooperation with his nephew. .
Oh, yes, the little dwarf also gave his nephew two young women from Yingren.
This tower is not an ordinary building, it is both a watchtower and a treasure building here.
The gold and silver Yingren earned by his nephew also had a share, and Yingren's martial arts were better than those of them, so with the guards of these Yingren, his nephew was also relieved a lot.
As the night darkened, the lights in the manor began to gradually go out.
At this time, only the light in one room was on, and of course the night watchman knew that it was his nephew's room.
Everyone has his own good, his nephew is like a woman.
Now that there are Yingren's fresh goods, how can it stop tonight
The night watchman was not a talkative person, but one day he couldn't help reminding his nephew "Amana, pay attention to your body".
Aman is his nephew's nickname.
Hearing this, his nephew said with a smile, Uncle, you don’t know the benefits of a Yingren woman, or—
As for what was behind the "or else", the night watchman could think of it without guessing, so he reached out to reach the stick placed in front of the door at that time.
His 30-something nephew ran away smilingly.
His nephew has been stubborn since he was a child, and at that time he did not miss his stick.
But now the night watchman also has to admit that a person who has been playing inferiorly since childhood is also audacious when he grows up.
However, if his nephew is not bold, how can he create this family business
I can't help my son, not to mention that he is just an uncle, so he doesn't care about it.
At midnight, the light in his nephew's room finally went out, and the entire manor was plunged into darkness.
There was silence around, and the night watchman was sitting there withered.
But after sitting for a while, the night watchman suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The surroundings are so quiet, it is night now, shouldn't it be quiet at night
But there is still something wrong, what's wrong? The night watchman began to think.
After a while he wanted to understand, it was because it was too quiet, so he felt wrong.
Because the two big dogs in the yard always bark for a while every night.
Of course he knows things like dogs, and sometimes the barking doesn't necessarily mean he has found someone.
Sometimes the dog would bark so many voices into the darkness inexplicably.
For this reason, he once took his family to search the barking place, but there was nothing.
Maybe dogs can see some evil things in the night, but human eyes can't see it, they can only guess like this.
But why didn't the dog bark today
After thinking about it, the night watchman finally felt uneasy. He took out the fire sickle and flint, lit the tinder, and lit the lantern, and then he went out of his hut and walked down the stairs.
