"Brother, please slow down on the road!" Dad Gu got up and walked to the door. Seeing that he could still see clearly outside, he left Uncle Gu alone so as not to lose sight of the way back when it got dark.
"Hey! Then I'm going home!" Uncle Gu waved his hand and walked towards the path in the village.
Seeing Uncle Gu leave, Mr. Gu locked the courtyard door. However, he didn't notice a dark figure outside the courtyard wall, peeking into the Gu family's yard. Seeing that Mr. Gu had closed the courtyard door, he had no choice but to lie down on the Gu family's back.
He poked his head through the wall, then shrank back again. Looking at where the figure was, he saw that it was the yard next door bought by the Gu family.
After Gu Chengyu waited for Father Gu and the others to fall asleep, he entered the space and practiced his internal strength for an hour, and then practiced his sword skills for an hour. After calming down, he planned to practice calligraphy in the space for a while.
After polishing the ink and preparing to pick up the pen, Gu Chengyu suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the yard. Although the sound was relatively soft, his hearing ability was extraordinary since he cultivated his internal strength.
After listening carefully for a while, someone must have entered the yard of his house. Although he walked quietly, his steps were heavy. This must be a man. There must be a thief in his house. It has been said that his house has a lot of money, so of course
Will be remembered by caring people.
Gu Chengyu picked up the small bow he had used last time in the space, and after thinking about it, he picked up a dagger. Of course, the small bow could be used at a distance, but if the person was close, the dagger would just come in handy.
Taking the bow and dagger out of the space, Gu Chengyu quietly climbed out of bed, got off the bed, put on his shoes, and walked quietly to the window of the main room. Fortunately, his eyes could see at night, and the furnishings in the room
He could see everything clearly, but it was a pity that the window in the main room was down. If he wanted to see what was going on in the yard, he had to put up the window, but he was afraid that the sound of opening the window would alert the thief.
Looking back at Dad Gu and the others, he found that the two of them were sleeping soundly. Gu Chengyu decided not to wake them up. Once a person is asleep, if he is woken up suddenly, the noise he makes will definitely not be heard, especially in the room.
In this dark and silent night.
Since the thief wanted to come in and steal something, he must have rummaged through the house. There was nothing valuable in the yard.
Gu Chengyu listened with bated breath for a while. The thief stole very slowly, as if he was afraid of bumping into something. But his goal was very clear. He was coming for the main house. It seemed that this person should know the Gu family's daily routine and habits, maybe
I've been there before, maybe I'm an acquaintance.
The money of the Gu family is kept in the cabinet next to the kang in the main house, and Mr. Gu and Mrs. Lu live on the kang. If you want to steal the money, you must take off the key from Mrs. Lu. Yes, Mrs. Lu even
Even when sleeping, the key on my body cannot be unlocked.
You also have to be careful not to make any noise. With the key, even if you open the lock, you have to open it two or three times. In fact, it is really difficult to steal the money. Gu Chengyu guessed that this person may be from the village or someone from the surrounding area, but he has nothing to do with the Gu family.
He wasn't very familiar with him because he didn't know how difficult it was to get money.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, then took the bow and arrow back into the space, and took out the two pebbles left last time in the space. He opened the window slightly and saw a gap. The moonlight tonight was very strong, shining on the ground.
It was still somewhat clear. Gu Chengyu looked to the left towards the door of the main house. When he saw no one could be seen, he took the stone in his hand and prepared to shoot it out as soon as he saw someone.
Of course, people are not pheasants, so the strength must be controlled well. It must be able to stop his actions, but not really hurt the person. Otherwise, even if the thief is caught, he may be beaten up afterwards.
Gu Chengyu stared at the door without blinking. Suddenly, a man wearing a crow-blue coarse cloth came into Gu Chengyu's eyes. However, this man's face was covered with a piece of cloth, so that Gu Chengyu did not see the thief's face.
Face. However, there is no rush. Once we catch him, we will know who he is.
Seeing this man walking towards the main room, Gu Chengyu was a little strange. According to common sense, the ancient door latch had to be slowly scraped open with a knife. This man didn't have a knife in his hand, so how was he going to get in? Since he was curious,
Gu Chengyu planned to wait for a while and see what good ideas this man could come up with.
Sure enough, the man suddenly stopped in his tracks, patted his head lightly, and then walked towards Gu Chengyu again.
This move startled Gu Chengyu, and he thought the man had discovered him. However, when he thought about it slightly, he realized that something was wrong. His actions just now seemed like he had not thought of anything. At this moment, the man was facing this way.
Come here, Gu Chengyu guessed that this man must have been unable to walk through the front door, so he planned to come in through the window. It seems that this man is also stupid. He must not have thought of this beforehand.
Seeing everyone approaching, Gu Chengyu decided not to wait any longer. He shot the stone in his hand towards the man's knee. After one hit, he heard a muffled sound. Gu Chengyu expected that the thief was afraid of being caught, so he suffered pain.
, and dared not make a sound.
In order to prevent the thief from running away, Gu Chengyu knocked out another stone from his hand and hit the man's other knee.
At this time, the man was panicking. He didn't know what happened. Why did his leg suddenly hurt so much? It seemed that the pain was deep in the bones, but when he touched his knee with both hands, there was no bleeding. It was just painful.
It was difficult to walk. Looking at the quiet courtyard around him, the man was even more frightened. It was really evil!
The man turned around and planned to run out of the yard. No matter what, he wanted to escape first, but the knees of his legs just couldn't work, and the man suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Gu Chengyu saw that the man was struggling to get up, but it was in vain, so he was relieved. He couldn't run away now. So he leisurely climbed to the kang next to Father Gu, and gently shook Father Gu.
body of.
"Dad! Dad! Wake up quickly, a thief has entered the house!" Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and said to Dad Gu.
Father Gu was still a little dazed after being shaken. As soon as he heard this, he immediately chased away the sleepy man. Thinking that speaking loudly would definitely scare away the thief, he suppressed his eagerness and touched it.
Xiaobao used his hands and found that his son was still fine, and he was relieved. He suddenly thought of Lu who was sleeping next to him. He touched her twice and found that her breathing was very even, so she should still be sleeping.
Father Gu was relieved.
Ah! Oops! The thief didn't enter the main room. Could it be that he entered another wing or went directly into the back room? Father Gu hurriedly got off the kang and was about to put on his shoes and go inside to see Gu Wan first.
"Dad! Don't worry, the thief is still in the yard." Gu Chengyu pulled Dad Gu's sleeve and said softly.
Although the thief couldn't escape, he didn't want to wake up his mother and second sister, so he had to wait until they caught the thief before waking them up, so that they wouldn't be afraid.
