Chapter 160 161 Checkpoints
Li Yu and Zhou Jia returned to Shijia Lane. Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, "Yu'er, I'll go shopping with you on the street, do you want to go?"
Li Yu shook his head, "If you don't want to go, I'll just rest at home."
"Okay, then you rest at home while I go to Tongzhou Post Office to find Mr. Lin."
"Okay, you go see them and exchange knowledge."
Li Yu sent Zhou Jia to the door, Zhaocai drove away in the car, and Xiaoyu and Awei came back carrying snacks and pastries.
When Xiaoyu saw Li Yu, she smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons, "Young madam, Ruyi and I just came back from the street. The streets in Kyoto are more lively than Tongzhou City. There are everything selling on the streets, and there are monkey performers and ditty singers. "
Seeing Xiaoyu's happy look, Li Yu also laughed, "It's so fun, why don't you guys play more?"
Xiaoyu glanced at Ruyi and complained, "Ruyi and Tiezhu said that their legs were sore from walking and they wanted to see a shop, but Awei just ate and went shopping with them. It's so boring."
Ah Wei looked at Xiaoyu and shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law Xiaoyu, you are curious about everything when you go to the street. You want to touch and look at it. I won't go shopping with you next time."
Xiaoyu held up the paper bag in her hand and threatened, "Then I won't let you eat this delicious food."
Li Yuxiao watched the two of them having fun, went into the house and closed the courtyard door. The feeling of someone peeping came again. Li Yu opened the door and saw a woman opposite. She looked like she was a thief with a guilty conscience and was panicking. The ground was busy closing the door.
Li Yu knew it by heart. It seemed that she was also peeking at her home when she first arrived yesterday. Could it be that she was sent by the Zhou family's old house to monitor the house here? If the people in the old house already know that Zhou Jia has returned to Kyoto, they may have already begun to plan against their own family.
Li Yu suddenly became wary and began to pay attention to things outside.
Chang Gui, Jiang Shuncai and Qi Hu carried firewood into Shijia Alley and shouted in the alley, "Selling firewood! Selling firewood..."
After calling a few times, no one from the Zhou family came out. Qi Hu said to Jiang Shuncai, "Go knock on the door and ask."
Jiang Shuncai carried firewood, walked to the door of Zhou's house, knocked on the door and said, "Want to buy firewood? Just firewood."
"I won't buy it." A child's voice came from inside. Jiang Shuncai picked up the firewood and turned around to find Chang Gui and Qi Hu. "Brother, I knocked on the door and asked, but a child said he didn't want to buy it. He didn't even open the door. Didn’t even open it.”
Qi Hu thought for a moment and said to Chang Gui and Jiang Shuncai, "Give me the firewood and I'll pick it back. You two take turns to guard here and see how many people are coming in and out of that house."
Jiang Shuncai and Chang Gui looked at Qi Hu and responded in unison, "Brother Hu, don't worry, not even a mosquito can escape my eyes."
Li Yu listened to the sound of selling firewood in the yard, and went around his house shouting, thinking: It's already past the end of the day, and any firewood seller who comes to sell firewood so late must be up to something.
Li Yu gave Ah Wei a few pennies, "Ah Wei, pretend to buy candied haws on a stick and walk around outside to see if anyone is peeking at our house."
"I understand, young lady." Awei opened the courtyard door and jumped towards the entrance of the alley.
Jiang Shuncai saw a child with small eyes and a bulbous nose at the entrance of the alley. He opened the courtyard door and came out, skipping over. He walked across from Awei and passed by. When he passed the Zhou family's house, he saw that no one was paying attention around him, so he quickly retreated. After taking a few steps, I looked into the yard and saw people drying their clothes against the wall in the yard. No one could be seen.
Ah Wei ran to the alley and looked at the man who passed by him. He kept looking furtively into his yard and wrinkled his nose. "Ugly, my young lady knows that you are peeking at my house."
Ah Wei looked at the alley, then jumped back, entered the yard, closed the door, returned to the house and returned the copper plate to Li Yu, "Young madam, I just ate the candied haws, and I will buy more later. I just went out, and there was a A man with two eyebrows that looked like two caterpillars passed me across the street. I hid at the entrance of the alley and saw him walking past, then stepped back, hid there and peeked at our house, and watched for a while before leaving. "
Li Yu looked at Awei's clever and naughty look, patted his head and said, "Well! Awei is very capable. When you have nothing to do, learn how to read and write with brother Ruyi, and help the young master in the future."
Ah Wei looked at Li Yu happily and said, "Young madam, I also want to learn Kung Fu from the lucky brother Ruyi, and I will protect you and the young master when I grow up."
Li Yu said with a smile, "Okay, if you want to learn, let Brother Ruyi and the others teach you. Go play first."
Jiang Shuncai looked around and saw nothing, so he went home angrily. Chang Gui was squatting at the entrance of the alley. Ruyi and Tie Zhu drove the car back from the street. Chang Gui quickly buried his head when he saw Ruyi. Ruyi glanced at Chang Gui and drove back to the yard without paying attention.
Awei ran up to Ruyi and whispered to Ruyi, "Brother Ruyi, someone peeked at our house just now, and the young lady also knows about it."
After hearing this, Ruyi opened her eyes and looked at Ah Wei in surprise, "A Wei, someone peeked at our house. What kind of person?"
Ah Wei told Ruyi about Jiang Shuncai's eyebrows and asked, "Brother Ruyi, is it the same as when we were in Fengming Village? Someone wants to come to our house and steal things?"
It seems that the people in the old house haven’t given up yet! The young master and the young lady had just come back and they were watched. I wonder if they knew that the young master had already won the lottery?
Ruyi nodded, "It's possible. Don't run around at home. If you see something wrong, remember to tell the young master and young lady, or us."
Ah Wei nodded smartly, "I know, I'm going to go outside and play right now."
Chang Gui, who was at the entrance of the alley, saw Ah Wei coming out of the house and playing with a spinning top in the alley. He thought to himself, "This child can't be from the eldest young master's family?" Neither does the boy.
Awei walked toward the alley with a spinning top, but Chang Gui had no choice but to hide at the opposite street.
The mouse went to find Wei Xiazi and bought a handful of incense. He spent two coins and took it back to the yard of Qi Hu's house. He looked at the thing in his hand and rolled his mouse eyes in distress, "Brother Hu, Wei The blind man’s hands are getting darker and darker. It costs more than two yuan for something like this, so can’t we buy it elsewhere?”
Qi Hu patted him on the head and said with a "haha" smile, "You are stingy. It is recognized that Blind Wei's stuff is good. Think about it, let's save the two small bucks and buy the medicine that is not effective. Brother The lives of a few of them can’t be saved!”
"Yes, Brother Tiger taught you a lesson," Mouse smiled flatteringly, "Brother Tiger, I don't know how Shuncai and Chang Gui feel about it."
Qi Hu touched his chin and walked back and forth in the yard. The rat followed behind Qi Hu, listening to his planning, "It takes only a day to figure out such a big family. Since they have just come back, knowing that not many people have come back, and they didn’t expect that they will be targeted, we will do it tonight.”
I just realized that today is New Year’s Day. I wish all my book friends good luck in the new year and all their wishes come true!
