Why did you provoke me?

On the very night Xiao Hao moved into the Yu family's small building, Yu Meng received a message from Da Li. It was a special communication bell, made by Yu Meng specifically based on the surveillance communication bell given to her by Granny Hua.

Yu Meng paced around in the courtyard. She hadn't expected Nangong Tianshou to actually act like a rogue.

How could someone who can be the leader of a base be an ordinary person? I never expected him to resort to such petty tricks. She really underestimated this old man's shamelessness.

When Niannian heard that the little boy had really gone to the Yu family, she felt a little tempted. "Fourth Sister, can I bully him?"

Yu Meng glanced at her sideways, "He's just a sickly little guy. He's not as strong as your second uncle's younger brother."

Niannian nodded. "So we can't play then. Fourth Sister, what do you think that old man is thinking? Does he want his little grandson to be like us, or does he want a well-behaved one?"

Yu Meng glanced at her. "You have an idea?"

Niannian chuckled, "Isn't this just boring?"

That evening, Niannian was no longer bored, because a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Yu family's old house.

"Fake girl, is this the place you're talking about?" A deep voice echoed in the darkness.

"Yes, I noticed this place a while ago. They have a small shop in town where all the adults live, but there are only two little girls here. I saw them come back with my own eyes tonight."

"Sixth Brother, you're a light foot, go in and see if anyone's inside."

"Understood," someone replied from the darkness.

Yu Meng opened her eyes on the kang (heated brick bed) and turned to look at Niannian. Niannian had already sat up, a smile on her face. She reached out and grabbed Yu Meng, whispering in her ear, "Fourth Sister, can I go see what they're here for?"

Yu Meng pushed Niannian's little head away, "Go ahead, be careful."

Niannian swept all her hair forward and used lines to make herself an inch off the ground, making it look like she was floating in the air. She stood in front of the window without making a sound.

The man outside, called Lao Liu, walked along the wall to the window, pressed his ear against the glass, and listened carefully. Niannian, watching all this from inside, couldn't help but laugh. How silly of him! He didn't even glance into the room, just listened with his ear. Niannian tapped Lao Liu's ear with her finger. The sound was loud, and Lao Liu was startled. He instinctively looked up and screamed, "A ghost!" followed by the sound of him falling.

"Pfft," Nian Nian chuckled with a touch of artistry, while Lao Liu's voice was already hoarse, "Help! There's a ghost!"

The people outside the courtyard stood up. There were four of them, and with the sixth man, there were actually five people who came to the old house this time.

"Sixth Brother, stop fooling around. You're not that scared by two little girls, are you?" a disdainful voice rang out.

"Really, really." The sixth man's voice trembled. "She was standing by the window, headless, just a silhouette."

"Get inside, all of you. Be quick and don't disturb the neighbors. Sixth Brother, shut up. If you ruin my plans, you'll regret it when we get back."

The fake girl tugged at the speaker and whispered, "Boss, hurry up, someone over there has lit their lamp."

Niannian is small but brave. Once, when she and Yu Meng stayed in a cave, a wild beast came in at midnight, but she wasn't scared at all. In the end, the two of them used lines to kill the beast. Niannian was excited for several days, and Yu Meng even suspected that she had a tendency to be violent.

Niannian had already opened the door. She floated in front of Lao Liu and asked softly, "Do I look like a ghost to you?"

The sixth brother fell to the ground and saw that Nian Nian's feet were not on the ground. He hurriedly knelt down and began to kowtow, "No, no, you are a sage, a sage. I did not mean to offend you. Please spare my life."

"Sixth Brother, are you looking for a beating? I told you not to make a sound." The door was suddenly pushed open, and a voice shouted in a low voice.

Niannian looked up at the gate and said, "How rude of you, it's so late, why aren't you home?" Her voice trailed off.

The four people who came in stood at the door, a small figure floated in the air, and the sixth brother knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, only saying "please spare my life".

"Who are you?" the leader asked in a low voice. "There's a shadow on the ground; you're not a ghost."

"What are you doing here? Trying to raid our base?" Yu Meng's voice rang out from behind the four of them.

The four of them turned around in unison. On Yu Meng's face was a mask woven from lines, depicting a little devil with a smiling face and upturned corners of her mouth.

Niannian looked at Yu Meng's mask with envy. Why didn't she think of that? So she swept her hair back with her hands and then braided a crying face with lines, just like Yu Meng's mask, with the corners of her mouth drooping down.

"What good kid would stay up all night and wander around like this!" Niannian added leisurely.

The four of them turned around and gasped. How could things have changed so much in such a short time?

"Run!" someone shouted, and the four of them split up and ran away.

"Leave one for me!" Niannian's voice was urgent. She unconsciously let her voice betray her urgency. She had no choice but to be anxious; if Fourth Sister made her move, it would be a total wipeout. How could she possibly compete then?

Three thuds rang out, and then the world fell silent. Nian Nian followed behind the fake girl. "You run so slowly. Were you watching us?"

The voice rang out, and the fake girl stumbled and almost fell. "No, it wasn't me."

"It's you. Your voice is very distinctive; I remember it." Nian Nian's lines traced across the fake girl's face. "Tell me, should I sew your mouth shut? You must have done this kind of thing quite a few times."

The fake girl suddenly stopped, turned around, and threw a punch. "A little girl like you dares to follow me on your own? You're asking for death."

Niannian didn't react in time, and her little body was sent flying backward.

The fake girl didn't run away. He leaned in and said, "You think I'm easily scared? I'm going to sell you to a pervert and make you wish you were dead."

"Oh, so you're a human trafficker. I thought you were from some powerful family who came to kidnap me. How boring," Nian Nian complained. She quickly circled the fake girl once and then went back.

The fake girl was very confident in her punch, but now she was uncertain. Nian Nian was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was no longer visible.

The fake girl glanced in the direction Niannian had gone, and sneered, "How naive. I won't let you get away with this."

"Is that so?" Yu Meng's voice sounded behind him, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen. The fake girl couldn't hold on and knelt down. "Who...are you?"

"Whoever you're looking for, that's who I am." He then looked into the darkness. "This is troublesome."

"It would be my pleasure to serve you." A cheerful voice rang out in the darkness.
