Novel Bin Chapter 68 - 68: Where Is She?
Gu Yundong quietly sat up on the bed. He glanced at the three people who were still sleeping soundly and shook Gu Yunshu awake.
The little thing was extremely sleepy and could not help but rub her eyes. He opened his mouth and called out, “Sister…”
“Shh.” Gu Yundong lowered her voice and pointed at the door. She said in a low voice, “Do you still remember what 1 told you before?”
Gu Yunshu suddenly sobered up and thought of what his eldest sister had said to him.
“I remember that someone wanted to steal our money, cut off our escape route, and dig up our ancestral grave.” He clenched his fists. “Big Sister, did the thieves come?”
Thanks to his training during his escape, although Gu Yunshu hated these thieves, he was not afraid. Therefore, not only did he not hide under the blanket, but he also looked like he was about to go out and fight with them.
“Yes.” Gu Yundong smiled and silently opened the door of the room. He walked to the chair in the central room and sat down. Then, he stared at the two-door door not far away, waiting for them to enter.
Gu Yunshu immediately took out a wooden stick from the corner and moved to her side, ready for battle.
At this moment, in the courtyard outside, four sneaky figures were climbing down from the wall.
Perhaps because the wall was a little high, one of them even sprained his ankle and almost cried out. Another person beside him immediately covered his mouth and nose with great force, almost suffocating him.
“Which way?” After adapting to the position in the courtyard, these people began to observe the surrounding environment.
This was really their first time coming to Madam Fang’s house.
After all, there was a lot of trouble in front of a widow’s door, and this widow was the second daughter-in-law of the village chief’s family. Therefore, these thieving hooligans would not wander around the vicinity for no reason, let alone have the chance to enter this house.
Now that Madam Fang was not at home, there was a rich person living at home who did not have any backing. Tsk tsk, the prey had delivered themselves to their door.
“I’ve asked around. The Gu family of four lives in the room on the left.”
“Okay, 1’11 go in with Big Qian and Zhuangzi in a while. Gousheng, you stay outside and keep watch.”
“Sure thing.”
“Brother, I’ve asked around. The Gu family’s house costs at least 70 to 80 taels. 1 reckon she’s already given Feng Daneng a few taels. The rest are probably in the room. Don’t worry about the two children from the Gu family. The children are all sleeping soundly. When we go in later, we’ll follow the usual rules. Big Qian and I will use daggers to take care of the two older ones. In case they wake up, we can threaten them not to make a sound. Brother, you will find the silver.”
“When I think about how we’re going to have dozens of taels of silver soon, I’m so excited that 1 want to go to the toilet.”
“Good for you. Let me tell you, it’s definitely not just a few dozen taels. Think about it. If you only have seventy to eighty taels, would you be willing to take them all out to build such a big green brick house? It’s not like that a straw hut can’t be lived in. I think it’s at least a few hundred taels. Damn, I’m so excited that I want to go to the toilet.”
The few of them approached the central room excitedly. They did not know that Gu Yundong would dare to build a house worth 100 taels of silver when she did not even have 70 to 80 taels of silver.
Gu Yundong heard the sound of footsteps approaching and also heard a faint groan. The corners of her lips curled up as she waited for these people to walk right into her trap.
However, after waiting and waiting for a long time, the door was still not pushed open.
Gu Yundong held the stick and almost fell asleep again. Gu Yundong finally lost her patience. He opened the door of the central room and looked out.. Where… was she?
