Chapter 1 Who knows the cold, hunger and cold at night
The night was dark and the sky was high, and the street was empty of pedestrians, and a black shadow quickly rushed into the courtyard wall of a large family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Ordinary people can't get over it at all.
Nicknamed Chen Ergouzi, his real name is Chen Yue. Beware of the cat under the black courtyard wall. He's not going to be here to play around when he's full and has nothing to do.
Because there is a dog hole under the courtyard wall, dogs can drill through it, but people can't get through it.
In the past few days, I have spent the last few copper coins in my pocket, and during the day, I have only eaten half a cold steamed bun. In the middle of the night, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep, and in my own dilapidated house, I drank two large scoops of cold well water in a clay jar, and I couldn't use it.
The days can't be passed, and if you can't find a way to live, you will faint from hunger. Inside the walls of this courtyard is the richest man in the town and the most powerful family Li Papi's family.
The Li family has thousands of acres of good paddy fields, the largest Yuelai restaurant in the town, the Yuelai Inn, and the trustworthy pawnshop, all of which are the Li family's industries. Only in and out, it is a famous black-hearted family near and far. It's nothing to earn 10,000 taels of silver a year!
Compared with the body, looking at the narrow hole, the drill is impassable, and it is barely possible to stuff half of the body.
Chen Yue pulled out a pointed pickaxe from behind his belt, the pickaxe was one-third the size of a normal pickaxe, and there was a wooden handle more than a foot and a half long, and the handle was wrapped in rags.
The pickaxe is small, you can slowly pry the green bricks of the dog hole, slowly get up, such a late night, without making a sound, it is difficult to be noticed.
The one-and-a-half-foot-thick brick wall, he carefully touched it for about half an hour, took out more than 30 large green tile bricks, and hid them in the grass in the corner of the wall.
Despite his youth and strength, sweat was still running down his head. There is no oil and water in the stomach, and I can't exert my strength. The stomach has long been in rebellion.
The town is not big, and he also inquired about the situation of Li Dahu's family. Although he only said a few words, with his clever brain, he still had to take risks.
Most of the big families have dogs, most of them are kept near the gatehouse, and the dogs bark in the middle of the night, even the main family can't stand it. The porter got up in the middle of the night to patrol the night, someone was in charge, and the dog couldn't bark.
There are also those who directly put muzzles on the dog. Prevent arguing with the old lady.
Chen Yue knew that Li Papi's family cared for the dog, and he didn't wear a muzzle when he walked the dog at night, and he had been staring at Li Papi's house for three days, and he listened to the movement in the wall every night.
Dogs have stronger ears than humans and have a keen sense of smell. He snatched a piece of meat and bone from the big black dog basin raised by his neighbor Wang Butcher's house in the front yard. One of Dahei's legs was crippled by him with a green brick.
He put a sufficient amount of sweat medicine on the meat and bones, and as long as the dog ate it, he would not wake up and let others slaughter him.
He hunched his waist, head first and foot, and slowly followed the dog hole into the courtyard wall. The night light was not very bright tonight, and he had not fully penetrated into it when he smelled a commotion.
Chen Yue didn't know if it was a human or a dog. The inside of the wall was dark, and you could vaguely see that the yard was very large, and the innermost thing was obviously a firewood room, full of thick firewood, and there were also chopped firewood neatly placed by the door. I guess I just waited for the kitchen to speak.
The dog cave stinked here, he looked at it carefully, laid out the meat and bones in the corner, and slowly retreated from the courtyard with his feet in front of his head.
wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, walked back to the grass in the corner, and slowly built the green bricks neatly and slowly as they were, sprinkled some chili noodles near the dog hole, and mixed them with the floating soil.
took out another slender hollow bamboo pole and stretched it into the courtyard wall, and he hid in the darkness in the corner, and he didn't dare to come out.
He knew that when he touched the second tea time, the night guard in the courtyard would take the dog to patrol here. By the way, solve physiological problems.
As long as he hears the hollow bamboo pole and the sound of a dog gnawing on a bone, it is half the battle.
Despite the constant stomach trouble, he had to wait patiently.
Fortunately, the two teas were very fast, and the night guard walked here with the dog again, but the sound of the dog chewing bones in his mouth didn't take it seriously at all.
After the nursing home was relieved, he led the dog and left. This is close to the firewood house and is the last stop on the inspection. The nurse is about to go back to the concierge and continue to sleep.
Chen Yue listened to the movement in the wall at night, climbed trees during the day, and looked at the situation in the yard.
In ancient times, the young lady of a large family, the ornaments she brought were either gold or silver, jade ornaments, and jade was not nothing, and even the private house that the young lady saved was also calculated by Chen Yue.
Wait and wrap your feet with a wet cloth, follow the shadow of the wall to find the young lady's embroidery building, don't be greedy, you have to run quickly if you find some valuable objects.
He figured out in the corner that it was time for the sweat pill to attack, and then took the green bricks from the dog hole and drilled back in.
Leaning against the wall, he squatted and walked towards the embroidery building where he observed during the day. He wore a non-reflective black garment, which he didn't care to look at, and he couldn't see it in the shadow of the wall.
To Chen Yue's surprise, a room on the second floor of the embroidery building was still lit with candles, and if he looked closely, he could vaguely see a figure through the window.
If it is not expected, the young lady should live near the left, even if it is a large family, the next person still uses an oil lamp, the price of candles is much more expensive, and the poor family, weigh half a catty of lamp oil, if you don't eat it, use it for half a year.
The ancients didn't have much entertainment, basically blowing the lamp early, resting early, and getting up naturally early.
It is rare that the second floor does not blow out candles in the middle of the night. Chen Yue stood at the door of the embroidery building, pondered for a while, or decided to gamble, he was walking back here, and he was really unwilling.
The door kernel inserted in the courtyard of the embroidery building, it was not difficult for him at all, the lubricating oil was not needed, poured some water, and dialed a few times with the grass rope, gently pushed open the small half door with his hand, and got into it briskly.
Standing in the courtyard of the embroidery building, looking at the room with bright candles, he was still a cat, and gently closed the door, and the door was only a little next to him. Squatting along the shadow of the wall, he ran to the embroidery building.
The embroidery building has a heavy courtyard, and the main hall has a staircase leading to the second floor. He didn't turn around, but quietly touched the lighted room, and he also wanted to see who it was who didn't sleep so late at night.
A dozen paces away from the room, he took a light step and breathed, almost with a moving footstep, and approached seven or eight steps away from the door.
But the person did not approach the house, quietly took out the cigarette from his pocket, filled the smoke, inserted the hollow thin bamboo pole behind his back, stretched it, and the person was still squatting, and with a slight force on his mouth, he blew it along the foot of the door.
Blowing enough, waiting for a while, using a thin bamboo pole in an inconspicuous place, poking an eye, squinting and looking in.
