Chapter Ninety-Six: Returning in Vain
Huang Xiao tapped on the keyboard, but there was an awkward feeling in his heart, he didn't come back for a few days, but he felt a little strange, and the room was quiet only the sound of tapping on the keyboard......
He first made a phone call to the grain seed store, paid a high price to send another batch of sweet potato seeds, and then went out to Li Wangyue's factory to bring back belts and other items and some raw materials of eucommia gum, and also brought back the remaining small blue pieces by the way.
After all this, he had time to collect the courier.
After two hours of busyness, he sat quietly in front of the computer.
"Spinach, how's my book going?"
"Wow, brother, you've finally appeared! I thought you had made it! I'll do something, don't worry! "Spinach is so excited!
Huang Xiao sent a smile over, "Don't mention it, it's postponed!" ”
Spinach sent a barrage of smiley faces, and then sent a packet of papers.
Huang Xiao took it.
After settling the bill, he asked Spinach to collect all kinds of materials from the 17th century, including nautical charts and detailed information about the people of various countries, and asked her to help make a map of the ancient world.
This time, Spinach provided another language, a mathematics, a biology, a chemistry, and a barefoot doctor's manual.
Huang Xiao printed two copies of the book, fortunately, they are all some basic knowledge, and it is a condensed version, otherwise Huang Xiao's printer will have to smoke!
It's well spent! As there are more and more things in Daming, Huang Xiao has less and less time to get these, and the ability to use money is the best choice.
After sending everything back to Daming after a few trips, Huang Xiao yawned several times, was too tired to do it, and went back to the room and fell asleep on the bed.
The night was deeper, the stars and the moon were dark, and more than a dozen people in black climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
On the street opposite Huang Xiao's house, at the corner, Hou Du was hidden in the dark, staring at the courtyard of the Huang family with a pair of eyes.
And farther away from them, a man dressed in the same dark night also quietly watched all this.
Today is a good opportunity, the Huang family only has Huang Xiao and a servant girl, Hou Du brought twelve people over, he is confident that he can be caught, but for the sake of safety, he still stayed outside to observe, and did not personally take risks.
About a tea time, the courtyard door quietly opened, and the two walked out quickly, heading straight to Houdu's hideout.
"What's going on?" Hou Du asked in a low voice.
"The inner courtyard is a steel door, which cannot be opened, and after climbing over the wall into the inner courtyard, the inner room is also the kind of steel door, and you can't enter the room."
Hou Du was stunned for a moment and said, "Can't get in?" What about lockpicking? ”
"The lock is unseen and can't be opened."
Hou Du really didn't expect this to happen, and there were lockpicking masters among the people he brought.
"Did you leave any traces?"
"When I broke the door, there were traces, but I didn't wake the other party."
Hou Du immediately made a decision and said: "You go over and get some things out of his house, it is best to let him think that he has entered the thief!" Let's retreat now! Be quick! ”
Two black-clothed men walked into the courtyard quickly, and after a while, more than ten mermaids rushed out, and after counting, they disappeared again in the night, and disappeared without a trace.
The man in black who was secretly spying waited for everyone to leave, and then went cautiously.
……
"Bastard!"
Hou Guoxing kicked over Hou Du, who was kneeling on the ground, "Idiot! Once this kid is on guard, it's even harder to start! ”
Hou Du was disgraced and knelt straight again, "My lord, please give me another chance!" I'm going to get this bastard back! ”
Hou Guoxing looked at Hou Du coldly and said, "You say, how do you catch it?" ”
"My lord, we missed this time, mainly because we didn't expect this guy to be so afraid of death, the doors of the house are extremely weird, and it is almost impossible to break open! Unless we smash the wall into it, we can't really do anything about him! ”
Hou Du paused when he said this, and said: "However, the villain found out that he would go out of the city every day in the past two days, and when he came back, he walked with His Majesty, and he himself was just with the woman named Yueniang, without guards, and the villain wanted to intercept the two of them in the middle of the road!" More than a dozen of us, we will definitely be able to catch him! ”
Hou Guoxing thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay!" Do it! However, the timing must be right, and he can only do it after he is alone! Have you packed up all the beginnings and tails for today? ”
Hou Du said: "Don't worry, my lord, we took some rice grain and medicine from his house, and the villain personally checked it, and the rice grain was kept and eaten, and the medicine was buried!" This villain stayed, please see, adults. ”
Houdu took out an object, but it was a stethoscope.
Hou Guoxing's face softened, nodded, and said, "Although you missed, you are delicate and do a good job!" Since you are doing it outside the city, you can't climb to Xu Xianchun, so you leave this weird thing? ”
Hou Du nodded and said, "The adults are not missing, and the villains want to be prepared!" ”
"Good, good! Houdu, I hope to hear good news from you next time! Let's go down! ”
After Hou Du left, Hou Guoxing closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then went to rest with confidence.
The night passed quickly!
When the sky was slightly bright, Yueniang had already finished freshening up, and when she went out of the inner courtyard to make breakfast for Huang Xiao, she found something strange in the courtyard, she panicked, ran back to the inner courtyard, and knocked on Huang Xiao's door.
"Brother Xiao, get up! There's a burglar in the house! ”
Huang Xiao was excited, turned over and got up, took out a knife from under the bed, put on his shoes, and opened the door.
"A thief? Don't panic, let's go, go check it out! ”
Huang Xiao carried a steel knife and took Yueniang to the front yard, and after checking repeatedly, he found that only some food and medicine were missing, and the thief had obviously left.
"It's fine!" Huang Xiao closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and his heart was a little calmer, the matter of burglary could not be eliminated after hundreds of years, let alone in ancient times?
Huang Xiao took Yueniang back to the backyard to check, and soon the two found the pry marks on the backyard gate, Yueniang was afraid for a while, and said: "Fortunately, the young master replaced the iron gate, if the thief enters the backyard and hurts the young master, then ......"
Huang Xiao gently hugged Yueniang and reassured: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, it's safe for us to stay in the room at night!" As long as it is not a violent demolition of the house, the thieves have no way to take this iron gate! ”
"Hmm!"
When Huang Xiao got up, she just wore big pants and a vest, Yueniang felt Huang Xiao's heartbeat, listened to him, and suddenly calmed down.
"Young master, I'll go make you breakfast, and you go back to sleep again."
"Well, go ahead." Huang Xiao looked at the bright steel bars on the courtyard wall a little speechlessly, it was useless! He thought about it and didn't care.
Huang Xiao didn't feel sleepy, and after cleaning up, he went to the front yard.
helped Yueniang burn the fire for a while, and after the water boiled, Huang Xiao went to brew two cups of milk, and Yueniang also steamed the steamed buns.
"Young Master, what is this? It smells so good, the same smell as the ice cream that day. Yueniang asked curiously.
Huang Xiao laughed and said, "This, milk powder, you have worked hard during this time, I will bring it back to make it up for you!" ”
Yueniang's heart was warm, learning from Huang Xiao's appearance, stirring gently, and after tasting a bite, she immediately fell in love with this taste!
"From today onwards, our Rejuvenation Hall will be temporarily closed, and after seeing the last batch of patients in the morning, the shopkeepers will come, are you ready?" Huang Xiao asked.
Yueniang nodded lightly, a little lost in her heart, a little reluctant, all kinds of tastes came to her heart, and whispered: "It's almost ready!" Master, when are we going to open again? ”
