In the dead of night, it was pitch black in the county government library. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rows of ancient books are neatly stacked on the shelves, like a hard barrier.

The room was full of bookish air, Li Mo endured the discomfort, covered his mouth and nose, hid in the last row of the bookshelf with Xu Jiaorong and Yan Ruyu, and patiently listened to the movements in the room.

They waited silently for a long time, and the room was silent, except for the sound of their pounding hearts, they could no longer hear any sounds.

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders boringly, why don't you say that three women are in one play, alas! If he had known that Jiao Rong would force himself to come here to squat, he wouldn't have been able to take Yan Ruyu home!

As soon as the two women met each other, they finalized the basic policy, if they wanted to catch the mysterious book thief, they had to squat and wait for the rabbit.

Although Li Mo scoffed at their policy, in order not to affect the happiness of his marriage with his wife, the wise Li Mo still chose to compromise, and when Xu Jiaorong proposed to go to the library to squat, he raised his hands and feet to express his approval.

God knows, how much he wants to slap himself now!

Let him be stupid and bring Yan Ruyu back, this is retribution! Isn't it just a broken book, you can commit it!

Seeing them from the twilight to the late night, they knelt down into the starry night.

Li Mo felt that his legs were about to squat and fail, and there was still not a single movement in this room.

He looked around boredly, and found that in addition to himself, Xu Jiaorong and Yan Ruyu, who were present, were all in high spirits and held their breath, waiting for the book thief who might appear or would never appear.

Alas, you really can't argue with women about right and wrong, because once you are serious, you will lose.

Li Mo sighed faintly, turned his head to look at Xu Jiaorong, and was about to remind her that when she went home to do what she loved to do, there was a sudden sound of small footsteps outside the door.

Li Mo's face changed when they landed, and they didn't dare to come out, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement outside.

That's right, there were small footsteps outside, and you could hear that there were living creatures moving outside.

It's so late, I'm afraid that no one will come to this library except for the book thief.

The sound outside continued, approaching the door little by little, and the sound of footsteps coming out was still clear in my ears.

Li Mo turned his head to look at Xu Jiaorong, and wanted to secretly remind her to pay attention, wait a minute, if it is really a book thief, don't rush forward in the limelight, if you can scare away, basically don't move the real thing.

Because, stealing books is not stealing...... Steal books! …… Can the things of the reader be regarded as stealing?

Well, in fact, the real reason is because no one knows the ability of this thief who dares to come to the yamen to steal things, so it is not a wise move to be a bird.

However, before Li Mo could say these instructions, Xu Jiaorong had already bent down and rubbed towards the door, with the joy and pride on his face that he was about to catch the book thief.

Li Mo suddenly panicked, it seemed that Jiao Rong really thought of herself as the great detective Sherlock Holmes.

However, handling cases not only depends on brains, but also on strength, as well as the awareness of knowing the time and knowing how to advance and retreat.

didn't wait for the guy outside to enter the door, just rushed forward so rashly, trying to ambush others, and the end would usually end up dying miserably, either being ambushed by someone, or becoming a sacrificial knife for the suspect.

Seeing that Xu Jiaorong was getting closer and closer to the door, and the footsteps of the person outside the door were getting clearer and clearer, Li Mo hurriedly followed the cat and lowered his waist, and finally pulled Xu Jiaorong behind the bookshelf in the front row before the door of the library was pushed open.

Xu Jiaorong was defenseless, and was dragged behind the bookshelf by Li Mo with his mouth covered, very dissatisfied, and greeted Li Mo again and again.

Although she was covered with her mouth covered and couldn't speak, her fierce eyes had already made it clear: What are you doing?!

Li Mo raised his index finger, gave Xu Jiaorong a silent gesture, pointed to the door, and signaled her to calm down for the time being, and find out the details of the person first.

After all, it was still husband and wife working together, Xu Jiaorong immediately understood what Li Mo meant, and soon realized her recklessness, blushed slightly, squatted beside Li Mo obediently, and quietly looked out of the door.

"Squeak-squeak-"

The door to the library was pushed open, making a screeching sound in the quiet of the night.

The door was pushed open, but no one entered, only a shredded moonlight.

Li Mo was wondering, when he saw that the door that had just been opened was quickly closed.

Li Mo's heart instantly struck, he originally thought it was some kind of monster, but now it seems that he is only afraid that he has caused something unclean, otherwise he would not even be able to see the shadow.

Thinking so, Li Mo just wanted to stand up and tell Yan Ruyu, who was hiding in the back row of the bookshelf, about his discovery, but he was pressed down by Xu Jiaorong.

Xu Jiaorong nugged the front with a small chin, and whispered uncertainly, "Like, it's a mouse?" ”

Li Mo was stunned, and looked out in the direction of Xu Jiaorong's chin, and sure enough, next to the door that had just been closed, there was a gray little mouse.

No wonder he didn't see anyone come in just now, it turned out to be a monster!

But this monster is not very reliable.,Shouldn't the rat demon steal oil and rice?,Why did it change to stealing books?

Or is it just a rat passing by by accidentally?

Li Mo suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and stared at the gray mouse standing at the door with bated breath.

I saw that the little mouse was very short, with a gray mouth and a white head, and its long tail rolled behind him from time to time.

It first looked inside the room with its delicate paws and small eyes, and found that there did not seem to be any danger, and then it seemed to finally let go of its heart and spun in place.

The mouse spun fast, and soon turned three times, and his waist became a palm-length, gray-robed scholar with a somewhat stumbling appearance.

The scholar stretched his waist vigorously, and only stretched and relaxed, and in a blink of an eye, he became the same size as ordinary people.

Li Mo hurriedly wiped his eyes, it turned out that this rat spirit also knew how to change spells, and it was also powerful, so don't want it.

After the gray-robed scholar turned into a human form, he carefully glanced around the room again, and then walked slowly towards the desk where the county master often sits.

But seeing that he was walking with a noble attitude, he could see that he had studied those high-ranking officials and nobles a lot on weekdays, and for a while Li Mo even suspected that this was a rat demon that only came out of the palace.

The rat demon walked a few steps to the desk, sat down, and blew on the unlit oil lamp.

Soon, a small flame jumped on the oil lamp, swaying slowly, and it was not long before the room was much brighter.

The rat demon seemed to be slightly satisfied with this, he raised his left hand, put his right hand into the long sleeve of his left hand, groped carefully, and pulled out something.

Li Mo hurriedly looked at it and found that the rat demon took out nothing else, it was the "Tale of the Ten Continents in the Sea" that Yan Ruyu shouted about missing.
