Chapter 924 The Shadow
He couldn't help opening his mouth until the blackness in her eyes became thicker day by day and could no longer be hidden.

Although he knew that speaking directly like this might make her feel that he had ulterior motives, and maybe even make her think that he had been spying on her secretly, which would make her loathe him, but he still had the courage to say it.

However, to his surprise, he didn't see any look of disgust from the bottom of her eyes, and she didn't even question her, but agreed to him with a smile.

Looking at it now, she really listened to what she said, and I didn't see her staying up late today.

Although he felt a little disappointed when he saw her go to bed early, he was still very happy.

After all, often staying up late is not good for your health, especially if she is a girl.

He sighed softly, and was about to go back to sleep, when he saw a black shadow flashing past not far in front of him, quickly turning over the wall of a courtyard.

Look carefully, it is the direction of Uncle Liu's house.

His face was startled, and he thought it was a wild animal coming from the village, so he took the exquisite and small bow and crossbow at his waist and ran forward quickly.

Because he was far away, he wasn't sure what he saw, so he tried to walk as lightly as possible.

If it wasn't some ferocious beast, he didn't have to disturb everyone, just drive it away.

Walking lightly to the outside of the courtyard wall, he stretched out his head and saw a black shadow crouching in front of the window, as if he was using something to pry the window open.

He was shocked, it turned out to be a person.

But who in the village would come out to pry the window in the middle of the night, or the prying daughter has already married and there is only the old couple left in Uncle Liu's house?
He decided on the spot that a thief had entered the village, so he opened his mouth and yelled at the man.

"Who! How dare you sneak into someone's house and break open the window in the middle of the night!"

Erzhu's voice was loud enough to make the black figure tremble in fright, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

He didn't expect that there were still people awake in the village at this time, so he didn't care about those many people, and drew out the long knife at his waist to rush towards him.

Uncle Liu and his wife were already light sleepers due to their age, they woke up immediately when they heard the loud shout, fumbled to light the lamp and came out to have a look.

"Erzhu, is that you? What happened? Thieves broke into the village?"

Li Yunlan also woke up.

In fact, he hadn't fallen asleep, and he opened his eyes abruptly when he heard a slight sound from the window.

Through the moonlight, he saw a black figure prying his window with a dagger, and he immediately held his breath, wanting to see what this person was going to do.

However, before the person outside the window opened the window to come in, he heard a loud shout from outside the courtyard wall.

He was familiar with this voice, it was Er Zhu.

Li Yunlan's first reaction was not who was the one who pried his window, but why Er Zhu was still up so late.

Seeing that Uncle Liu and his wife were about to open the door tremblingly holding the oil lamp, he quickly raised the curtain and took two steps forward to stop them, speaking in a slightly anxious and fearful tone.

"Danger...don't go out."

Uncle Liu only thought that he was frightened, and handed the lamp in his hand to the old woman. He felt for a stick as thick as an arm from the door, and comforted him softly.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Liu, go out and have a look, if he is a bad person, beat him away, and you stand behind your mother-in-law, don't go out, you understand?"

As soon as Uncle Liu finished speaking, he heard a loud bang from the door, as if something had been nailed to the door panel, and the old couple immediately froze in fright.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of Erzhu was heard.

"Uncle Liu, you must not come out! This thief knows martial arts, be careful that he hurts you!"

Uncle Liu immediately took several steps back to protect his old wife and Li Yunlan. Although he knew that there was a door panel between them, he was still so frightened by the movement outside that his face turned pale.

How can this be a thief, this is clearly a strong man!

His legs trembled a little, and he yelled out the door with a trembling voice.

"Pillar! You...do you want to be okay? Don't be brave, he ran away, you can't get hurt, you know?
