2649 Let’s find a place to talk
Zheng Qiu walked around her courtyard with the oil lamp in her hand. She heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was around. She did not even notice the cold sweat on her forehead.
“Brother Liu, brother Liu, can you hear ?” Zheng Qiu ca to the wall and shouted.
After a while, the light next door turned on.
“Xiao Qiu, what’s wrong?” Soon, the sound of the door opening ca from next door. Brother Liu, who was called, also ca to the wall of his house.
“Brother Liu, please look around. I think I saw a thief just now. He’s already walked around my yard with an oil lamp. I wonder if the thief is next door.” Zheng Qiu said.
“Alright!” Brother Liu responded. He first looked around his courtyard and said, ” “Damn it, these thieves are really bold to co here to steal things!”
The “thief” second white and Gu en, who were hiding in the dark, held their breaths.
Brother Liu did not notice anything, but he did not suspect that Zheng Qiu was playing with him. He even knocked on every door and told them that Xiao Qiu had found a thief and asked them to be careful.
The officers from the Yan lived in the alley. They had known each other for more than half a year, and they were very convinced of Zheng Qiu’s abilities. No one thought that he was making a fuss, and they all expressed that they would take note of it.
This commotion lasted for about half an hour before it cald down.
Gu en and second white heaved a sigh of relief.
They weren’t afraid of being discovered. With their abilities, they naturally wouldn’t be discovered. Even if they were discovered, they would be able to escape without exposing their identities.
“Xiao Qiu, you’ll have to be careful since you’re living alone. Keep your tools on you at all tis, and call if anything goes wrong. Don’t be afraid, we’re all here.” Brother Liu said to Zheng Qiu before they parted ways.
“Yes, I know, brother Liu. I’m really sorry for tonight, but I did notice soone in my courtyard just now. I guess I was too slow, so he escaped. I’ll imdiately call for help the next ti I find sothing wrong.” Zheng Qiu said in embarrassnt.
“I don’t bla you. I bet you didn’t expect thieves to co to our alley. Alright, go to sleep now. Rember to bring your tools with you just in case.” Brother Liu really did not bla Zheng Qiu, so he reminded him again.
“Alright. Brother Liu, you should rest early too.” Zheng Qiu nodded.
Then, the two of them returned to their respective hos.
After Zheng Qiu went back, he found a handy tool from his toolbox and tied a cloth bag around his leg.
She then put the dagger under her pillow and fell asleep.
She closed her eyes and cald down, wondering if her father and stepmother had found sothing wrong and sent soone to test her.
She planned to send soone to inform her brother tomorrow.
Gu en, who was outside, ran out after he was sure that the people in the alley were not looking for the thief. He walked to the place where second white was hiding and whispered, ” “Stop hiding, I saw you just now.”
Second white walked out.
let’s go! Gu en patted him. let’s find a place to talk.
Second white pursed his lips. Sigh, it seems that the girls in the house can’t see the fourth young master make a fool of himself.
Gu en found a night noodle stall and ordered two bowls of noodles and a pot of wine.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight. There shouldn’t be many people outside, but there were more custors than usual at this noodle stall. Everyone was eating noodles and drinking wine. So were looking at the moon alone, and so were talking to the people around them.
