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 me?” Zheng Qiu came 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 came from next door. Brother Liu, who was called, also came 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 come 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 Yamen 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 calmed 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 times, and call me 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 someone in my courtyard just now. I guess I was too slow, so he escaped. I’ll immediately call for help the next time I find something wrong.” Zheng Qiu said in embarrassment.

“I don’t blame you. I bet you didn’t expect thieves to come to our alley. Alright, go to sleep now. Remember to bring your tools with you just in case.” Brother Liu really did not blame 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 homes.

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 calmed down, wondering if her father and stepmother had found something wrong and sent someone to test her.

She planned to send someone 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 customers than usual at this noodle stall. Everyone was eating noodles and drinking wine. Some were looking at the moon alone, and some were talking to the people around them.
