Chapter 987
Li Teng and Fang Jianguo were talking by the door.
Mei Qiugui and He Siying were sleeping in the room.
They slept on the single bed in the room, which was just big enough for the two of them.
He Siying slept on the inside, close to the wall, and Mei Qiugui on the outside, giving He Siying a sense of safety.
They had walked a long distance along mountain paths during the day, and spent a long time gathering vegetables at night; both were extremely weary.
Especially He Siying, who, halfway listening to the buzz of Li Teng and Fang Jianguo's whispers and trying hard to make out the words without success, gradually fell asleep.
After an indeterminate amount of time had passed,
"Stop! Let him go!"
He Siying was awakened by a burst of shouting and footsteps.
It was Li Teng and Fang Jianguo by the door, calling out and running down the hallway as if they were chasing something.
