This commotion was so loud that it startled the three old men in the main hall, and they all ran out to see what was going on.
The Zhou brothers had already climbed out of the dung pit, retching and wishing they could turn themselves upside down to empty their stomachs.
"Hey! In the middle of the night, who can't sleep and comes to someone else's house to bathe in the dung pit?" Village Chief Zhou pinched his nose with one hand and held an oil lamp with the other as he approached the two, "Let me see which little rogue is asking for trouble?"
Zhou Da and Zhou Er recognized the voice as their village chief's and quickly turned their faces away, not daring to let him see them.
Unexpectedly, Granny Song suddenly splashed a basin of cold water over them from behind.
Although it was summer, the nights were still cool, and the cold water hit their bodies, making the brothers shiver uncontrollably.
