BXBX NOVEL Chapter 304 - 304: Here
After Ruyi returned to the city, he went to the front office and told Zhou Jia Li Yu’s guess. After Zhou Jia asked Mr. Qian to call the constable over to ask, he learned that no one had come to report disappearances. He felt that Little Loach and Little Yezi would not lie. Perhaps the families were unwilling to make it public.
Zhou Jia said to Ruyi, “Go back to the manor first. I’ll rush back after I leave the government office. ”
Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia worriedly. “Master, let me pick you up!”
Zhou Jia smiled and said, “It’s not that serious. Besides, I still have constables and guards following me!”
“Yes.” Ruyi bowed and left the escort room, rushing back out of the city.
Ji Xiang brought people to the bamboo forest to cut a few bundles of bamboo. After cutting them diagonally, he brought them to the trap in the back garden and inserted them into the dug trap. He covered the trap with some bamboo slices and covered it with soil.
Li Yu returned to her room and took out the crossbow and arrows from her space. She checked the crossbows and distributed them to Ruyi and Ji Xiang. She said to the two of them, “Ruyi will guard the corner door tonight. Ji Xiang and I will hide on the beam at the entrance of the main hall.”
They replied in unison, “Yes, Madam.”
While the adults were busy, the children were obedient. After dinner, they did not go to the courtyard to play. They obediently washed up and returned to their rooms to rest. All the traps had been set, and the farmstead was prepared to face the enemy.
After Zhou Jia left the government office, he rejected Wu Tingxian’s invitation and asked Mr. Qian to stay in the government office. He brought a few constables and guards back to the manor and returned to the main courtyard.
He said to Li Yu, “Yu’er, after thinking for a long time, I still think that Wang Zheng must have hired someone. He and Madam Lin still want to know their daughter’s whereabouts. They don’t dare to ask us openly, so they want to find someone to attack you.”
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia apologetically. “I was too impatient. I kidnapped Ah
Yue and attracted the Wang family’s counterattack.”
Zhou Jia went forward and hugged her. He kissed her forehead. “Yu’er, sometimes, I also feel that I’m very useless. Every time I encounter trouble, you’re the one who rushes forward to protect me, and I can only watch helplessly but can’t help you. Previously, Miss Wang sent someone to kidnap you. If not for your impressive martial arts, I would be the one searching crazily in the world now. You don’t have to blame yourself. Miss Wang deserves it.”
Li Yu felt warmth in her heart when she heard Zhou Jia’s words. She looked up and kissed Zhou Jia. She said gently, “In the past, you were weak and had Ruyi and the other two protecting you. You didn’t think of learning martial arts. You’re not bad now! Ordinary thieves are no match for you.”
The couple looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Jia kissed the corner of Li
Yu’s eye. “I love you, Yu’er.”
The couple hugged quietly for a while before separating. Li Yu tied the sleeve arrow to Zhou Jia and handed the crossbow to him. She instructed him, “Take Yangyang and Sir to live in the room next door to Ruyi. Other than the constables lying in ambush at the trap, the guards you brought back will stay in the room to protect you. Remember not to come out.”
“You have to be careful.” Zhou Jia took the crossbow. After the couple went out,
Mr. Wen took the pills and distributed them to Li Yu, Ruyi, and Ji Xiang. “Put
this in your mouth and the assailant can’t control you with knockout incense.”
Ji Xiang smiled and said, “Sir, are there any medicine packets to ward off mosquitoes? The mosquitoes in the farmstead bite very hard.”
“Yes.” Mr. Wen took out a few medicine packets and handed them to the three of them. “Put this in your pockets. I’ll see that the mosquitoes don’t dare bite you tonight.”
Li Yu took the medicine bag and placed it away. Zhou Jia said to her, “It’s late in the evening. The assailants won’t come so early. Split up with Ruyi and Ji Xiang and rest for a while. I’ll wake you up at midnight.”
Li Yu nodded and returned to the house to tie up the sleeve arrow and dagger respectively. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to adjust her breathing to recuperate.
After Li Yu and the others rested, Zhou Jia went out and instructed the people in the front courtyard not to come out no matter what they heard at night, in case they were accidentally injured.
Everyone originally felt that they were redundant people living in the world. But they had been lucky and were brought to the manor by Madam to live a stable life. Now that an assailant was about to come to the manor, Master still came especially come to remind them to keep safe. Everyone was extremely touched and said in unison, “Master, don’t worry. We won’t go out and cause trouble. ”
The mute and Su Xianyin drove the carriage out of the city before it was almost dark. When they reached the foot of Mount Spindel, it was already dark. The mute drove the carriage to the place he had looked at during the day and the old woman crawled out of the carriage.
Su Xianyin got out of the car in dark clothes and stood on the mountain bag. She looked at the manor not far away that was lit with dim yellow light and said to the mute, “There must be constables and guards on the manor. Be careful later. Don’t be rash. After we finish this, we’ll leave Yunzhou City.”
At night, the fields rang with the sound of frogs and insects. A cool breeze blew at the foot of the mountain. Countless mosquitoes pounced crazily on the mute and the old woman sitting on the rafters of the cart. The mute sat motionlessly while the old woman scratched for a short while.
In the middle of the night, Li Yu opened her eyes and sat up. She changed into dark gray clothes, tied up the dagger and sleeve arrow, and picked up the crossbow by the bed to load the arrows.
Zhou Jia walked into the room and saw that Li Yu was already up and ready. He watched as she walked to her side and sat down. He instructed, “Yu’er, you have to be careful. Don’t force yourself.”
Li Yu knew that Zhou Jia was worried about her. She put down the crossbow and hugged Zhou Jia. She patted his back and comforted him. “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu back. “Yes! Yang’er is already asleep. Sir is watching him from the room.”
Li Yu let go of Zhou Jia and looked at him. “You know that as long as I start fighting, it will end quickly. If you stay here, I’ll be distracted. Go back to rest!” “Alright!” Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu and stood up to leave the room.
Li Yu walked to the door with the crossbow. Ruyi and Ji Xiang were already waiting. The two of them looked at Li Yu, who had come out of the house, in high spirits. “Madam, we’re ready.”
Li Yu instructed, “Be careful and follow the arrangements.”
The two of them nodded. Ruyi went to find a place to hide outside the corner door. Ji Xiang and Li Yu went up the beam and lay on it.
Halfway through the hour, the sound of insects rang out from where the mute and Su Xianyin were hiding. There was also the rustling of snakes and insects crawling across the grass. Su Xianyin walked out of the carriage and said,
“Mute, let’s go.”
Before she could finish his sentence, the two of them swept towards the dimly lit farmstead in the distance like ghosts. They leaped up and down like harriers and quickly reached the construction site at the foot of the mountain. The two of them also heard the thunderous snores of the night watchmen at the construction site.
After a while, the two of them arrived behind the manor and found the position of the main room. The mute took out a grappling hook and threw it onto the wall. He grabbed the grappling hook and quickly climbed up. He grabbed the eaves and flipped onto the roof. He lifted the tiles of the main courtyard and saw that the room below was so dark that no light could be seen.
Li Yu and Ji Xiang lay quietly on the beam like raccoons. Li Yu suddenly heard a faint sound from the roof. Then, there was no movement. She thought to herself that they were here.
Li Yu held her breath and listened to the commotion on the roof. After more than ten breaths, she realized that someone had gone up to the roof again..
