A lot of people suddenly gathered outside the courtyard wall of the Xu family.

Hu Jingtong saw through the window that the outside of the courtyard wall was illuminated by torches.

Knock knock, knock knock......

There was a knock on the courtyard door outside.

Xu Yikao and Hu Jingtong couldn't help but wonder a little.

Hu Jingtong said: "Is Master Qian back again?" ”

Xu Yikao said: "Girl, you stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Hu Jingtong nodded.

Xu Yikao walked out of the house, went to the gate of the courtyard, and said, "Who?" ”

The person outside the door responded: "Uncle Xu, I am Qian Ayuan." ”

Qian Ayuan is one of the young strong men who guard the door of Qianjiazhuang every day.

Xu Yikao immediately opened the door, only to see that there were dozens of strong men from Qianjiazhuang outside the courtyard.

They are all village guards responsible for the safety of Qianjiazhuang.

The strong men all held torches in one hand and iron rods more than three feet long in the other.

Seeing this, Xu Yikao immediately asked, "Ah Yuan, what's wrong?" ”

Ah Yuan said: "During the day today, a living person came to the entrance of the village, saying that he was coming to join his relatives. But he couldn't tell who he wanted to turn to, so we didn't let him in. We thought he was gone, but he was just hiding in the shadows, and he ran in desperately while we were changing shifts. Uncle Xu, we seem to hear someone shouting 'catch the thief' in your direction, so we came over to take a look. I wonder if you see any suspicious characters here? ”

When Xu Yikao heard this, he immediately said: "I am just teaching Ah Liang to practice kung fu." ”

Ah Yuan said: "I see. Then, Uncle Xu, we won't bother. You need to pay attention to portal security. ”

"Good. Thank you for your hard work! Xu Yikao said.

After watching the village escort team leave, he turned around and went back to his own small courtyard.

Hu Jingtong saw that Xu Yicao was back, so he got up and asked, "Grandpa, what's going on outside?" ”

Xu Yikao said: "The village guard team came over and said that someone had sneaked into the village. ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Oh, then I'll check the windows in the house again." ”

"Well," Xu Yikao said, "I'll go and check the inside and outside of the house." ”

As soon as Hu Jing finished speaking, he lit the oil lamp and went to the room.

After entering the room, she saw that the window was tightly closed, so she turned around and prepared to go out to find Xu Yi for the test.

"Don't move! Don't make a sound! A young man's voice sounded behind Hu Jingtong.

The young man put the dagger against Hu Jingtong's neck tremblingly.

Although the cold dagger made Hu Jingtong feel a chill, she was not very afraid.

Because judging from the timid voice and extremely unskilled techniques of this young man, he is a novice thief.

It's just that she has experienced the life and death of Uncle Qian, Lao Tongsheng, not long after.

I don't want to have another one today.

Hu Jingtong couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Can't I live a few days in peace?

She sighed lightly and said softly, "This little brother, please calm down." Did you come to our Qianjiazhuang today to join relatives and friends? I just heard from the people of the village team. If you have friends and relatives here, I will be able to help you. Don't move your knives! ”

Hu Jingtong slowly turned his body around as he spoke, facing the young man.

In front of him was a fifteen or sixteen boy.

The young man was tall and thin, his skin was a little dark, and his facial features were upright.

He looked at Hu Jingtong suspiciously, and the dagger in his hand was slowly lowered.

He said, "Just a little girl like you, what can you help me?" ”

Hu Jing said in his heart: I just said a few words, and he believed it. So stupid and naïve......

She said, "This young man, please sit in the hall." This is my boudoir, if anyone sees you here. I can't tell if I have 10,000 mouths. ”

The young man hurriedly looked embarrassed, and he said, "I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, he quickly turned around and ran towards the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Jingtong heard a muffled sound in the hall.

Hu Jingtong knew that it was Xu Yi's test.

She hurried to the hall.

I saw that Xu Yikao had already tied up the young man.

Hu Jingtong hurriedly ran over to search for the young man's body.

All she found was a good-looking key and dozens of copper plates.

Hu Jingtong shook his hand and said, "Grandpa, look, this key is really special." ”

Xu Yikao's eyes lit up after only one glance.
