He fumbled to turn on the flashlight that was placed on the kang cabinet.
He finally knew what it was like to have a younger brother who was an absolute menace when it came to their sleeping habits. No wonder his Eldest Brother kept Sanwang ‘imprisoned’ on the far end of the kang. If Sanwang was behaving wildly in his sleep, the eldest would just kick him back.
Back then, Erwang felt that Dawang was a bit too violent in educating Sanwang, but after looking at the situation this way, it seemed that the retaliation kick was quite necessary! If Sanwang was allowed to sleep in the middle, Erwang would have never been able to fall asleep.
Not only was Erwang kicked awake, but Xiaowang was also punched several times.
Xiaowang slept as deeply and quietly as a kitten. He wouldn’t stir awake even if there was someone kicking him in the middle of the night as he would merely hide in someone’s arms for safety. Tonight, he hid in the safe embrace of Dawang.
Dawang’s daily sleeping posture was either done with his back facing towards Sanwang or lying on his back with his right leg bent and his right arm crossed. If Sanwang pounced on him in the middle of the night, he would kick him back in reflex without waking up. There was one night that Sanwang had launched countless attacks like a rattle as the child switched between attacking and being counterattacked back and forth with his Eldest Brother.
When Xiaowang scooted over, Dawang didn’t wake up and subconsciously opened his left arm to shield Xiaowang in his arms. However, the defence on the right side was not removed to make sure that he could kick Sanwang back at any time.
Erwang saw that his eldest brother had to protect Xiaowang but also had to simultaneously watch out for Sanwang, who could pounce on him anytime. It was a cruel struggle even during his sleep!
Erwang had no choice but to get down to the ground, move the kang cabinet closer a little and carry Haonan over. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Haonan was still moaning and talking in his sleep, “Guo, guo…Snake, snake…Larvaes…”
Sanwang’s dreams also reached the climax of the feast. He was seemingly eating all kinds of things such as pig’s trotters, big chicken legs and snake meat. He started licking his tongue and shouting about food.
This night is just… Erwang was about to cry.
Maisui was also woken up by the commotion. She got up and took a look, “Brother, sleep here if you want,” The north kang was very big and it could be separated by a kang cabinet, so one person could sleep on each end.
Erwang, “No need. You go to sleep, I’ll just move Haonan away.”
He wiped his sweat and got on the kang again.
Dawang woke up and said, “Let’s have Sanwang sleep with him tomorrow night.”
Erwang, how cruel, Daguo.
Regardless, they didn’t let Haonan sleep with Sanwang the next day. This was also for the sake of everyone having a peaceful rest. Instead, they waited for Haonan to fall asleep before carrying him to the other side.
Haonan was not happy when he woke up, “Why did you put me here to sleep by myself? I wanted to sleep with my Guoguo and Xiaomang.”
Erwang deceived him, “We didn’t put you there, you climbed over yourself. You said it smelled nice there.”
Haonan took it seriously and took the initiative to crawl over to that spot to sleep at night, which made everyone happy.
