After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 13
Qi Qi supported his waist with one hand, and tapped the grass on the side of the road with a stick in the other to explore the way.The countryside is a little bit bad, there are too many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is hard to guard against them.

Today she wants to check the open space around the house again, to see if there are a few pieces of dry land that can be used to plant some small vegetables or fruit trees. The surrounding area of ​​the yard is deserted, not to mention wasted, it is really unsightly.

I don't know if I don't turn it around, but after turning it around... I found the problem.

The night was dense, with a crescent moon hanging on the horizon, and the moonlight was faint.

Two furtive figures slowly approached the new house at the foot of the stone mountain.

Along the corner, one person was pushed and squatted down, acting as a ladder, while the other climbed up the courtyard wall by stepping on his shoulders.

The man sat on the courtyard wall and muttered, "Damn, the courtyard wall is so high to keep out thieves."

After grunting, he took a deep breath and jumped down. The man seemed to be sprained, squatting on the ground and dawdling for a while before he continued to touch the main room with his feet up.

When he came to the door of the main landlord's house, he bent down and took out the crime tool, a thin blade, easily inserted into the crack of the door, and began to move the wooden bolt behind the door little by little.

Xu had practiced before, and opened the door not long after.

He stepped in excitedly, "Ah..."

A scream resounded through the sky, especially abrupt in this silent night, and a burst of barking started.

"Young Master, Young Master, what's the matter with you?" Outside the courtyard wall, the servant patted the courtyard wall in a panic, crying and howling.

Inside the room, Qi Qi sat up calmly. In the dark night, a sneer appeared on her lips.

In the next second, Xiaohua's arm was hugged like an octopus, "Sister-in-law, yes, there is someone."

Qi Qi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the villain has been caught. You stay here, I'll go and have a look."

"Catch, catch?" Xiaohua looked at the door of the room hesitantly, and saw a smear of bright moonlight shining on the door rail. There was a bright light, which seemed to be able to dispel the fear in people's hearts, "Sister-in-law, let's go together."

Qi Qi was a little surprised, but still agreed, she didn't have time to linger, for fear that the man would run away.

"You follow me." Protecting Xiaohua behind her, she pulled out a wooden stick from the corner when she passed the round table.

At this time, the crescent moon in the sky seemed to be particularly bright, illuminating the people locked on the ground in the courtyard clearly, and there was nowhere to hide.

"Second brother, how could it be you?" Qi Qi's face was full of surprise and disappointment, but he hummed coldly in his heart.

"Qi Niang, Xiao Hua, are you all right? Open the door quickly." The sixth lady's voice sounded from outside the door, apparently hearing the movement and rushing over.

"Grandma, we're fine, just wait a minute." Xiao Hua came out from behind Qi Qi, trotted to open the door.

Then, a group of people came in from outside the gate of the courtyard, and listening to the sound, there were still many people watching the excitement one after another, rushing here.

The young man squeezed into the crowd and rushed to Gu Xiaoci's side. Seeing the animal trap and the blood dripping from his feet, his face turned pale with fright, and he tremblingly said, "Young master, are you okay? I, I'm going to invite the doctor ..."

"Come back." Gu Xiaoci took a breath, endured the pain and said, "Help me back quickly."

He doesn't want to be watched here, he just wants to escape here quickly.

But others didn't think so. Seeing him in the Qiqi Courtyard, his gossip curiosity was immediately activated, and he had already started to ask questions in a hurry.

"Gu Xiaoci, it's the middle of the night, why are you here?"

"That's right? Why was it caught in the trap?"

Everyone chattered, Gu Xiaoci lowered his head, leaned on the boy's body and wanted to stand up, the pain made him grin his teeth, making him look ridiculous.

"I also really want to know, what is the purpose of the second younger brother coming over the wall of my house in the middle of the night?" Qi Qi supported the pillars of the verandah and lowered his eyelids, his tone was indifferent.

Gu Xiaoci's eyes dodged to avoid their questioning, he opened his mouth and began to howl, "Oh, it hurts, it hurts to death, my feet, my feet hurt so much..."

"Young master, young master, I'll go find the doctor." The boy was already crying from fright, the young master had an accident, he must have nothing good to eat, and now he only thinks about how to remedy it.

But Gu Xiaoci held him back and refused to let him go. If the only person he trusted left, he would be more isolated and helpless, at the mercy of others.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoci's family members in the crowd said, "I'll call."

Qi Qi took the opportunity and said, "Then please invite the village chief too. If something goes wrong, someone should come to uphold justice."

Gu Xiaoci buried his face in the boy's shoulder, and when he heard Qi Qi's words, he shrank visibly.

A few people in the crowd trot away quietly.

The sixth lady looked at her big belly, her cloudy eyes flashed with worry, "Xiao Hua, bring your sister-in-law a chair."

"Okay." Xiao Hua immediately moved to the main room.

"Wait." Qi Qi grabbed her and said, "Wait a minute, I have placed traps at every door, be careful, don't run into them."

After explaining to Xiao Hua, she found Yang Daqing who was in the crowd and said, "Uncle, please help me take it away, so as not to accidentally injure you due to the crowd."

"Ah?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and then whispered.

There were a few good things, and Yang Daqing went to collect them together, and sure enough, they found traps at the entrance of every room.

"My son, my son..." There was a burst of shouting, coming from far and near.

Mrs. Gu was helped by her daughter-in-law to enter the door. When she saw her youngest son slumped on the ground, she burst into tears, "Xiaoci, my son, what a crime I have suffered. Hurry up and invite the doctor here!" ..."

Lu Liu looked at Gu Xiaoci with complicated expressions in his eyes, and finally stepped forward to ask, "Sir, are you alright?"

"Are you okay? How has this hurt people? Qi Qi, you bastard, see if I don't kill you." Old lady Gu was irrational, and rushed forward to Qi Qi.

"What are you doing? Qi Niang is still pregnant with your Gu family's child." Fortunately, the sixth lady stood in front of Qi Qi and stopped her.

Seeing that it was the sixth wife, Mrs. Gu didn't dare to do anything again, after all, because of her seniority, but she didn't relax her lips, "Sixth Aunt, get out of the way, she is my daughter-in-law, she hurt my son, I will discipline her, that's not okay gone."

"No." The sixth lady was also very forceful, "Why did your son come here in the middle of the night, why don't you ask first? You want to do it without asking indiscriminately, or to a pregnant woman with a big belly. What do you want to do? Murder?"

"This..." Mrs. Gu froze all of a sudden, her eyes dodged, she hesitated for a few moments, and then said arrogantly, "Anyway, she is not a good bird. She used my son's money to build such a big house and enjoy it. I will teach her how to do it." gone?"

"Hmph, not really." Qi Qi had endured it for a long time, and said with a cold gaze, "We have separated into households, and you don't care what I do with my money!"

Mrs. Gu was so angry that she pressed her heart to her heart, covered her heart with one hand and pointed at her, "Look, look, what kind of attitude is she, ouch, Xiaoen, come back and see your wife, look How did she bully your mother..."
