Chapter Twenty-Nine: Someone Outside the Window
The full moon fell in the west, and twenty or thirty fast horses galloped onto the road leading to Wuyang City.
Before the hour, the three of Yuanshan Dongcheng sneaked into the vine flower lane, and Yuanshan pointed to the house on the left, and said in a low voice: "That family has a big dog, go this way······· Climb over this wall and you'll find the back garden of your son's house."
Because of his face, Feng Tai's tone of speech was a little vague: "You know, didn't you draw a figure, the courtyard behind the outer hall······· Second window on the right"
"It's almost time, let's go in" Dongcheng leaned over the wall and urged the two of them, "In case the couple doesn't stay in Anfu, they will return home in half an hour, so take it quickly"
Neither of the two masters was at home, so the servants who were on the night patrol were lazy, and the three of them climbed up to the roof of the outer hall. Yuan Shan pointed down, lowered his voice and said: "Little lady Xie is not used to sleeping with others, and the close grandmothers and girls live in the back."
Isn't that just a little girl, no matter how you say it, you don't need three people to start. Dongcheng pointed in the direction of the gate, looked at the distant mountain and said: "You go and look at the gate, in case the husband comes back, so as to wake up" Saying this, he turned his face and instructed Fengtai "You don't need to go in, you wait here"
There was only one little lady in the house, and both of them went······ It seems that it is indeed a bit of a fuss, Feng Tai nodded: "Well, you can go yourself"
Dongcheng quietly sneaked under the bedroom window.
After Yujing went to the outer hall, Xie Jiang simply took the pamphlet given by Mama Han to study, read it in the middle of the night, turned off the lights and was just about to be confused, when he heard a soft "squeak" from the window sash.
There was no wind tonight, and it was certain that someone had pushed the window open.
In the middle of the night, the third watch was sneaky, and there was no need to think about it, he was definitely not going to send silver to do a good deed. Xie Jiang sat up quietly, and through the gauze tent, he saw that the window sash was wide open, and under the bright moonlight, a dark figure climbed onto the windowsill and stretched out his legs to step on the desk below.
Obviously, this man is going into the house.
When resting at night, I want to loosen my bun, not to mention knives and scissors on the bed, there is not even a hairpin, and looking at the figure, this person is five big and three thick, obviously a man, if he enters the house, he will inevitably make some noise.
Xie Jiang is not afraid that this person is big and small, but he is afraid that the "kicking" in the house will alarm the others when the time comes.
There are either pillows or quilts around him, barely a hard object, only a bag of sea pearls next to the pillow, forget it, a thousand gold is a thousand gold, Xie Jiang sucked his nose, felt out a bead with a painful face, and then aimed at the person's head, and smashed it with his hand, but he heard a muffled "Huh?" The shadow fell to the ground on its back.
Hearing a muffled sound of "coo", Yujing said in a daze: "Did the lady fall out of bed?" The little girl got off the bed, and as soon as she touched the flint, she heard Xie Jiang whispering: "Don't light the lamp, don't talk, come over lightly."
Half-asleep and half-awake, Yujing didn't notice anything wrong, and touched the edge of the bed in a dizzy manner, pinching his tone and shouting: "Lady's ······"
"Shh······h Xie Jiang put his index finger between his lips, his two eyes slanted towards the window, and whispered: "You cover your mouth first" I'm really afraid that if I say that there is a thief, the little girl will scream again, and I don't know if this person has accomplices outside, so it's better to be careful.
Yujing blinked twice, covered her mouth in confusion, Xie Jiang grabbed one of her arms, and whispered: "There is a thief outside the window, don't move········" Listen attentively outside, this person has not moved since he was planted, so he has to go and see it.
"I smashed him just now" Tightly tugging at Yujing's sleeve, Xie Jiang muttered in a low voice, "There is no movement outside at this time, it is better to go and see"
"Don't eat and shout silver ······" Yujing forgot to take his hand, trembling and excited, and his tone almost changed, "Shouting silver stinks and ······ him" Fortunately, Xie Jiang understood the meaning, shook the girl's arm, and whispered: "You can't call people, you think, if it is known that a man comes in at night, even if it is a thief, it will not be good for the reputation if it is spread out."
This is the truth, Yujing calmed down, let go of half of his little hand and asked, "That······ What should the lady say? ”
"It's the moonlight outside, you can see it without lighting the lamp" Xie Jiang stretched out his feet and put on his shoes, pulled Yujing, and tiptoed out of the outer hall.
The courtyard was silent, and the two of them went out and looked to the left, and under the misty moonlight, there was a large black mass lying on the ground. didn't run away for such a long time, it seems that he really fainted, Xie Jiang walked over lightly, Yujing covered half of his mouth, was so anxious that he stomped his feet again, and wanted to speak in a suppressed voice: "Lady, you ······ you"
"Find a rope" The man was on his back and turned upward, I don't know if he was knocked out by a bead, or if he fell to his head when he hit the ground on the back of his head, and he didn't wake up when he was torn off his face veil. The moonlight was clear, and the more Xie Jiang looked, the more he felt that this person's half-open mouth was oozing panic, and he glanced at the handkerchief in his hand, and stuffed it in.
Yujing dragged a bundle of hemp rope out, panting, "Is the rope for drying clothes and bedding enough?" ”
Such a big bundle, let alone a bundle, even a bundle of bundles is only a lot more.
"Lift his head up" Xie Jiang squatted down, pulled out a piece of rope and compared, first took the middle section and put a loop around the person's neck, and then commanded, "Turn it over and let him face down"
After fiddling with the old man for a long time, this person had no intention of waking up, Yujing became bold, and pulled him over with his feet. Xie Jiang pulled the rope and wrapped it around the man's arm twice, tightened it, and wrapped two more wrists down······ Tighten it, then tangle it downwards to firm the ankle, then tie the knot.
Yujing's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Lady, ······· tied up like this" When the words came to his mouth, he changed his mouth: "What should I do next?" ”
"Isn't there a broken carriage in the backyard?" Xie Jiang patted the dust on his hands and whispered to Yujing, "Go and call Beidou, she is very energetic, you two throw him to the back door, be cautious"
"The lady herself is here?" Yujing was not at ease.
Glancing at the ground, Xie Jiang said firmly: "Don't worry, it's better if he is honest, if he moves, the rope around his neck will be tighter and tighter, go quickly."
Yujing went to the backyard lightly.
The full moon is gradually setting in the west.
The outer hall is in the front yard, ten zhang away from the gate, when the east city goes down to the roof, Fengtai suddenly heard two bird calls, the birds were frightened in the middle of the night, there must be something wrong.
Looking at Fengtai, whether it is rummaging for things, or waking up people, it is more than enough to deal with a little lady, with Dongcheng's skills, so this person quietly touched the front yard.
The door was closed, and the nearby room was dark and unlit, and it was obvious that the servants guarding the door were still asleep, and Fengtai searched for a few laps, but did not find the distant mountain. He couldn't shout, and he couldn't make a noise when he climbed a tree and went up to the house, so he had to sneak back to the wisteria courtyard.
