Now that we have sent in the letter, spread the rumors, and stirred up a pool of muddy water, we have no choice but to go out again, and we must go to the evening appointment at the barren mountain cemetery.
However, being sneaky is not the right path. Early in the morning, the fifth senior brother ordered a boy to invite Young Master Xu to come.
When Young Master Xu heard this, he was very grateful that we were willing to help out a little in the evening.
I couldn't bear to see him looking so uneasy.
The Ninth Senior Brother sneered: "This Xu Qingyang is just a useless pretty boy!"
Senior Brother Xiaobai's face froze after hearing this.
Also, Senior Brother Xiaobai not only has white robes, but his face is also very white indeed. No wonder he couldn’t stand it after hearing what Senior Brother Ninth said...
Tonight is a critical moment that determines my life and death, so I have to go with it.
Therefore, I was very excited this whole day. The three senior brothers looked at me jumping up and down and were speechless.
As soon as the second watch arrived, Mr. Xu made an appointment with four of our senior brothers and sisters, and ordered four young men to carry two large boxes and go out.
I looked at the two heavy boxes, and a golden light flashed in my mind, and I made a small calculation——
Why don't we grab these two boxes of gold first, so that we can spend two or three years eating, drinking, and having fun, and we'll wait for the bitter leaf asarum, life and death, and wait until I, Ye Rong Xiaoyao, am happy enough, then we can decide...
Perhaps the light in my eyes was too strong, so Brother Xiaobai raised the handle of the fan and tapped my head: "What are you thinking, even risking your life?"
Humph, you don’t need to tell me!
I, Ye Rong, have always been a lady whose reason is stronger than emotion. This thought just occurred to me. I still have to look for bitter leaf asarum! Huh!
Young Master Xu was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. When he arrived at the top of the mountain where Mr. Xu was buried, he helped me find an osmanthus tree with lush branches and a good view. He asked me to hide it better, and then he and the boy carried the box and stopped there. In front of Mr. Xu’s grave.
The full moon is like a mirror, hanging in the sky.
It was nearing the third watch, and Young Master Xu, who didn't know how evil he was, sent four boys away and walked alone in front of Mr. Xu's grave.
I thought, since the thief who put in the letter was able to steal the bitter leaf asarum under the Xu family's nose without anyone noticing, he must have something special about him. Young Master Xu didn't know the letter this time. It was our vote, but he dared to go to the meeting alone. He was so courageous...
The cold dew is like beads, moistening the osmanthus flowers; the cold frost is like snow, covering the whirling osmanthus leaves.
The third watch is almost over, and this barren mountain is still deserted. There are only five of us alive, not even a ghost, let alone a human figure.
I'm very depressed——
Did Senior Brother Xiaobai and I lose our plan? This thief is actually such a calm thief?
Just as I was about to sigh, the fifth senior brother quietly pulled my sleeve and pointed deep into the osmanthus tree.
Oops, here it comes!
I saw only a dark figure, hidden in the shadow of a laurel tree, motionless.
Suddenly, my left hand seemed to be held loosely. I quickly lowered my head and saw that it was indeed Senior Brother Xiaobai.
I smiled secretly, Brother Xiaobai is still a child, so he should be afraid when he sees bad people.
I moved my fingertips slightly and scratched his palm twice: "Don't be afraid, the ninth brother is good at martial arts and won't let us suffer."
Before going down the mountain, the Tenth Senior Brother quietly told me that the Ninth Senior Brother’s kung fu was unparalleled among the brothers.
Senior Brother Xiaobai said with a smile: "You hide better and don't move around."
Huh, no need for him to tell me, I will know it naturally!
