Chapter 54: Exploring the Qin Mansion at Night
The courtyard bought by the Ruan family is in the bustling area of the county, the last house in the alley, and the surroundings are quiet and no one disturbs them.
The county is different from Lijia Village, the houses are connected to each other, and there are at most courtyard walls and fences between the two houses.
There are two main rooms in the small courtyard. Next to the main room, there are utility rooms, kitchens and toilets.
Ruan loves cleanliness very much. When he bought the yard, he asked someone to make changes. In the northwest corner, he built a small wooden house with a heated kang. It can be used as a clean house no matter in winter or summer. You can lock the door and take a bath in it. .
"Sister, everything in the house was prepared by our mother."
As Li Jinhu was talking, she couldn't help but choked up again. Her mother was seriously ill, and it was difficult for her to walk. She had to work hard for the future life of their siblings. Every place in this yard was arranged by her mother. They stay back.
Mother said that he is a little man, and he will support the family business in the future. If the elder sister gets married, he must keep his eyes open and choose a good man.
The Ruan family had the foresight to know that the Li family would definitely not find a good family for Li Haitang.
Feeling sorry for the parents of the world, Li Haitang still had some emotions of the original owner, and then shed a few tears. Now they are siblings.
Xiao Lingchuan left the space for the two siblings, quietly went to the yard to harvest the cabbage, piled it at the base of the wall, and spread a thick layer of linoleum on top and bottom to prevent rain.
The kitchen is clean and tidy, the rice and noodle tanks are full, there are peanuts, red beans, millet and cornmeal in the corner, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a piece of bacon hanging from the corner of the eaves, enough to prepare a meal.
"Eat first, sleep for a while after eating, and at night, I will take you to Qin's house."
Xiao Lingchuan began to plan to act on his own, but he was afraid that Li Haitang would be worried, so after thinking about it, it was nothing to him to take someone there.
"To the Qin family?"
Li Haitang pointed to her nose with question marks all over her face. She didn't understand the meaning of the savage for a moment. She went to Qin's house and was found, which was tantamount to throwing herself into a trap.
"right."
Xiao Lingchuan picked up two chopsticks for Li Jinhu and pointed to the eaves. This time, he wanted to be a gentleman on the beam, but before that, there was a more complicated task. His eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "I'll go find you first. Cousin Li Qiuju, get a death contract and replace it with Yuanwai Qin."
As for the stall at the yamen, Xiao Lingchuan has already sent a message to his former brother, and it will be settled tomorrow.
People who have been traveling in darts all year round have three teachings and nine streams, and they must have some skills. When Xiao Lingchuan was in the life and death darts, he once saved one person, known as the three hands.
Three Hands is a middle-aged man who used to steal all kinds of treasures. The Yamen issued arrest warrants and offered rewards.
"I don't know where my cousin lives."
Li Haitang looked confused. She only knew that Liu's natal family was in the surrounding Liujia Village. She had never been there, so she didn't know which one it was.
Besides, she doesn't know how to work hard, so following him is equivalent to many burdens, getting in the way.
"Revenge must be done in person, so that you can be happy."
Xiao Lingchuan stood up and went out, he still had to prepare two sets of night clothes, and act at midnight.
At midnight, from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning, Li Haitang forced himself to sleep for an hour, maybe because he had something on his mind, he didn't sleep well for an hour.
Before departure, Xiao Lingchuan sent a set of tight black clothes. Li Haitang dressed properly, with her hair all up, and a dagger inserted into her sheepskin boots.
Xiao Lingchuan's eyes fell on her boots, and the corners of his mouth froze in a rare way, without saying a word.
"this…"
Li Haitang smiled awkwardly. It's not that she doesn't believe in the abilities of the savages, but that she is used to preparing for the worst in everything. If the servants of the Qin family find out, when she runs away, there will be a guy who has something to do, and bluffs a few times. Next, feel safe.
"it is good."
As soon as the two of them left the house, Xiao Lingchuan wrapped his arms around Li Haitang's waist with lightning speed, and said in a deep voice, "I've offended you."
"what…"
Li Haitang only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and the whistling wind sounded in her ears on both sides. She exclaimed, and found that she was being led across the roof by savages.
What kind of skill is this, the legendary lightness skill?
After a short period of panic, Li Haitang regained her composure, and she looked at the surrounding scenery with bright eyes.
Not far away is the small city gate in the county, surrounded by torches, like a long dragon, with a few dark shadows faintly visible on it, which should be soldiers guarding the city.
At that time, the shops on the street had already closed, and it was silent in the dark. Passing by the area where the people lived, I could occasionally hear the cries of babies and the barking of dogs.
Li Haitang hugged Xiao Lingchuan's waist tightly, and leaned his head against his chest, finding the most comfortable position. The feeling of nervousness before was gone.
"In front is the Qin family."
Xiao Lingchuan's body was tense, and he adjusted it a few times, but he still wouldn't fall from the roof. The faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose almost made him dazed.
The Qin family has mansions in the town and the county. Master Qin moved back to the Qin family's old house due to a recent lawsuit.
As expected of Master Qin, he was in the rice and grain business. His family had a big business. He had a courtyard with three entrances in the most affluent area in the east of the city.
"I didn't mean to go to Li Qiuju first, why did you come to Qin's house first?"
Li Haitang landed steadily, still holding Xiao Lingchuan's waist and not letting go. They were standing not far from the second gate, the gatehouse was lit, and a woman was leaning against the bed, sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.
"Li Qiuju is in the Qin family."
Xiao Lingchuan backed away uncomfortably. Li Haitang's hot breath made his ears itch and made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Li Qiuju and Liu Fu, a servant of the Qin family, have made a private decision for life, and the two will live together."
Xiao Lingchuan went out at night to find out the news. Li Qiuju was not in Liujiacun. During this time, he lived in Qin's house.
Liu Fu is the little steward in charge of purchasing in the Qin family. His work is easy and lucrative. They live in the small courtyard behind the big kitchen.
"Li Qiuju kept saying that I had a bad reputation and hooked up with a man, so it turned out that the man was herself."
Li Haitang pouted sarcastically, living together without getting married, if word got out, everyone in the Li family would be ashamed. Thanks to the separation of the Li family, otherwise, as a cousin, she would have been implicated and ruined her reputation.
Inside the house, candles were lit and reflected on the Goryeo paper, forming the imprint of flames. There was a figure swaying by the window. Liu Fu should not be asleep yet.
"follow me."
Xiao Lingchuan took Li Haitang's hand and found that it was covered with slippery cold sweat. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and helped her wipe her hands, "Don't worry, he won't find us."
"Okay." Li Haitang took a deep breath, worried that he would lose the chain at a critical moment. She is not afraid now, but excited and stimulated. It is the first time she is a thief, and she always feels thrilling, and her heart beats violently.
