Chapter 60: The Thief Enters the House
"Then big brother slow down on the road!" Father Gu got up and walked to the door, and saw that there was still some clarity outside, so he didn't leave Uncle Gu, saving it from getting dark, but he couldn't see the way back.
"Hey! Then my house went! Uncle Gu waved his hand and walked towards the path in the village.
When Father Gu saw Uncle Gu leaving, he also tied up the courtyard gate. But he didn't notice that there was a dark shadow outside the courtyard wall, probing his brain into the courtyard of the Gu family. Seeing that Father Gu closed the courtyard door, he had to lean on the wall of the Gu family and probe it, and then shrank back. Looking at the place where the figure was staying, it was the courtyard next door that the Gu family bought.
After Gu Chengyu waited for Gu Dad and them to fall asleep, he entered the space, practiced the internal strength for an hour, and then practiced the swordsmanship for an hour, calmed down, and planned to practice words in the space for a while.
When the ink is polished and ready to pick up the pen. Suddenly, Gu Chengyu heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the courtyard. Although his voice is relatively soft, since he cultivated his internal strength, his ear power is not ordinary.
After listening carefully for a while, someone should have entered the courtyard of his house. Although he was tiptoeing, his steps were heavy, this should be a man, presumably he was a thief in his house. It has always been rumored that his family has a lot of silver, so of course it will be remembered by those who have a heart.
Gu Chengyu picked up the small bow he had used last time in the space, thought about it and picked up a dagger again. Of course, the bow can be used from a distance, but if the man is close, the dagger will come in handy.
Taking the bow and dagger out of the space, Gu Chengyu quietly got up from the bed, got out of bed, put on shoes, and walked lightly to the window of the main house. Fortunately, his eyes could see at night, and he could see the furnishings in the house clearly, but unfortunately the windows of the main house were lowered, and if he wanted to see the situation in the yard, he had to put up the windows, but he was afraid that the sound of opening the windows would alarm the thieves.
looked back at Daddy Gu and them, and found that the two of them were sleeping soundly. Gu Chengyu still decided not to wake them up, once a person was asleep, if he woke them up suddenly, the movement would definitely not be small in a daze, especially in this dark and silent night.
Since the thief wanted to come in and steal something, he must have to rummage through the house, and there was nothing of value in the yard.
Gu Chengyu listened with bated breath for a while, the thief walked very slowly, as if he was afraid of bumping into something. But the goal is very clear, this is for the main house. It seems that this person should know the life and habits of the Gu family, and may have stepped on it in advance, or it may be an acquaintance.
The Gu family's silver is placed in the cabinet next to the kang in the main house, and on the kang live Gu Dad and the Lu family, if you want to steal the silver, you must take the key from the Lu family. Yes, even when the Lu family sleeps, the key on his body is not unsolved.
You also have to pay attention not to make a sound, holding the key, even if you open the lock, you have to open it two or three times. In fact, it is really difficult to steal silver. Gu Chengyu guessed that this person might be from the village or from the surrounding area, but he was not very familiar with the Gu family, because he didn't know how difficult it was to get the silver.
Gu Chengyu thought for a while, then withdrew the bow and arrow into the space, and took out the two small stones left last time in the space. The window was gently opened a gap, and the moonlight was very thick tonight, shining on the ground, and it was still somewhat clear. Gu Chengyu looked to the left towards the door of the main house, and when he saw that he couldn't see anyone, he took the stone in his hand, and prepared to shoot it out as soon as he saw someone.
Of course, a person is not a pheasant or anything like that, so the strength must be mastered, both to stop his actions and not to really hurt people. Otherwise, you will catch the thief, and you may be beaten upside down afterwards.
Gu Chengyu stared at the door without blinking. Suddenly, a man wearing a crow-blue coarse cloth came into Gu Chengyu's eyes, but the man's face was still covered with a cloth, so that Gu Chengyu didn't see the thief's face. However, there is no hurry, and when you catch him, you will know who he is.
I saw that this man was walking towards the main house with his legs, Gu Chengyu was a little strange, according to common sense, the ancient door latch had to be scraped slowly with a knife, this person didn't have a knife in his hand, so how could he get in? Since he was curious, Gu Chengyu planned to wait for a while and see what good things this man could do.
Sure enough, I saw that this man's footsteps suddenly stopped, patted his head lightly, and then walked towards Gu Chengyu again.
This move startled Gu Chengyu, and he thought that the man had already discovered him. However, after thinking about it slightly, it was not right, the action just now seemed like something I didn't remember. At this moment, people came over this way, and Gu Chengyu guessed that this man must have been unable to go through the main door, so he planned to come in through the window. It seems that this man is also stupid, and this must not have been expected beforehand.
Seeing that everyone was going to approach, Gu Chengyu decided not to wait any longer. He shot the stone in his hand towards the man's knee, and after a blow, a muffled grunt was heard. Gu Guyu thought that the thief was afraid of being caught, so he was in pain and did not dare to make a sound.
In order to prevent the thief from running away, Gu Chengyu also knocked out another stone in his hand and hit the man's other knee.
At this time, the man's heart was panicked, he didn't know what was going on? Why did his leg suddenly hurt so much? It seems to hurt to the bones, but the hands touched the knees, but there was no bleeding, but the pain was so painful that it felt like it was difficult to walk, looking at the quiet courtyard around, the man's fear was even worse, it was really evil!
The man turned around and planned to run out of the courtyard, no matter what happened, he ran away first, but the knees of his legs just couldn't exert his strength, and the man suddenly sat down on the ground.
Gu Chengyu saw that the man was struggling to get up, but it was really in vain, so he put his mind at ease, and he couldn't run now. So, he climbed onto the kang on Daddy Gu's side leisurely, and gently shook Daddy Gu's body.
"Daddy! Father! Wake up, there's a thief in the house! Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and said to Father Gu.
Father Gu, who was originally shaken, was still a little dazed, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately drove away the sleepy insects. The thought of speaking out loud would definitely scare the thief away, so he pressed the eagerness in his heart, touched Xiaobao's hands, and found that his son was fine, so he was relieved. Suddenly thought of Lu Shi who was sleeping next to him, touched Lu Shi twice, and found that her breathing sound was very even, and she should still be sleeping. Father Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
Yikes! Oops! If the thief didn't enter the main room, could it be that he entered another side room, or went directly into the back room? Father Gu hurriedly got down from the kang, and was about to put on his shoes and prepare to go inside to see Gu Wan first.
"Daddy! Don't worry, the thief is still in the yard. Gu Chengyu tugged at Daddy Gu's sleeve and said softly.
Although the thief couldn't escape, he didn't want to wake up his mother and second sister, so he still waited until they caught the thief and then woke up the two, so that the two would not be afraid.
