Life in siheyuan era
#118 - Chapter 118: Trouble
The light shone on Yu Li, and Zhou Zhiyuan quickly peeked out. Seeing Yu Li look back in panic, he immediately knew he was exposed.
At this moment, he only had one option: to look up at the back building. He and Yu Li were talking in the gap between the two courtyards. The only way to retreat was to climb onto the roof of this back building.
He had climbed houses during training in the army, and he was the fastest. His fingers grabbed the gaps between the red bricks, and he jumped up. Climbing onto the roof was not difficult for him.
But not now, his right hand's four fingers couldn't exert any strength.
But facing such a critical situation, he couldn't think so much. He leaped up, his left hand's four fingers hooked into the brick seams, his right hand stretched upwards, and his palm stuck to the wall, suddenly feeling a suction force that firmly sucked his hand.
Without time to consider anything else, he used this suction force to steady his body, his feet kicked against the wall, and his body bounced up. As his left hand grabbed the eaves, he heard Lou Xiao'e's voice coming, "Yu Li, where are you going?"
"Going to the toilet," Yu Li replied in a muffled voice, continuing to walk inside.
"Wait a minute..." Lou Xiao'e called out, "Is there someone else behind there?"
"Where's anyone?" Yu Li denied, quickly walking into the door.
But Lou Xiao'e walked to this gap and looked around, then muttered, "How strange?"
Of course, she was strange. She clearly saw Yu Li walking out from here, and looking back in panic, deducing that there should be someone else here, but at this time she didn't find anything.
So she stood in place and thought for a while, then turned around and walked back, waving to the car and walking into the door on her own.
Zhou Zhiyuan, squatting on the roof, raised his wrist to look at his watch. Five minutes later, he walked to the edge of the roof, jumped up, and spun to the ground.
He invented another move, the Dragon Spin, which allowed him to land easily.
Then he looked up at the three-meter-high roof, and raised his right hand to look at it, sighing to himself, "Talent is forced out!"
The dangerous situation just now forced him onto the roof. Through going up and down, he discovered another skill, and happily walked towards the door.
He had calculated it well. Yu Li must have gone home by now, and Lou Xiao'e should have entered her own house. He could easily go home and eat, the half of the mixed flour bun was not finished yet.
He thought it was good, and lightly walked into the courtyard gate. Turning a corner, he saw Lou Xiao'e standing in front, and immediately asked in surprise, "Sister Xiao'e, what are you doing here?" His reaction was very quick.
But Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a smile, and replied softly, "I'm here to catch a adulterer."
"Adulterer?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked, then asked, "Is your family's Da Mao messing around outside?"
Then he said, "It's useless for you to block here. You have to catch them in pairs. Without evidence, Da Mao will definitely not admit it."
He used the trick of shifting flowers and grafting trees, but Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "I'm talking about you, what were you and Yu Li doing hiding in that corner?"
"Yu Li?" Zhou Zhiyuan asked again, then said, "Sister Xiao'e, I went to the store to answer the phone, I didn't see Yu Li."
Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly and said, "I passed by the store in a car, and didn't see you. When the car arrived at the door, I saw Yu Li running out of that corner in a panic. I knew something was going on here."
"At that time, I thought, who could make Yu Li do this? Thinking about it, I thought of you. After waiting for a while, I saw you. What else can you quibble about?"
Hearing her say this, Zhou Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and replied, "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason. Sister Xiao'e, you're not the type to ruin people's reputations. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Lou Xiao'e sneered and said, "You're not afraid, is Yu Li afraid?"
"Sister Xiao'e..." Zhou Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "It's not that a bad person can't do bad things, but making this look doesn't scare people."
This sentence made Lou Xiao'e slightly stunned, and then said, "I'm telling you..."
Zhou Zhiyuan interrupted her, "Speak your business."
"Go to my parents' house on Sunday and appraise a few collections," Lou Xiao'e revealed her trump card.
Zhou Zhiyuan readily replied, "I can agree, but I can't guarantee that I can go on Sunday. The final time will be set on Saturday."
"Why so much trouble?" Lou Xiao'e was impatient.
"There's no way, I've been running into strange things recently. Even answering a call can be falsely accused of being a adulterer. Do you think I can be idle?" Zhou Zhiyuan was quite helpless.
"Who slandered you? I just think you two are suspicious."
"Stop it, you should leave quickly. If we two stand here and talk, and people see it, I'll become a adulterer again."
"We two are upright and honest," Lou Xiao'e said righteously, then said, "It's settled, call me on Saturday noon." After saying this, she walked into the courtyard.
Zhou Zhiyuan gently breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about Lou Xiao'e. This woman wasn't bad, and wouldn't tell about tonight's events.
He wasn't worried about Lou Xiao'e spreading scandalous news, but he had to wait a few minutes before he could walk inside.
After a while, just as he was about to step forward, he saw a figure running over.
Yu Li actually ran out again, and came to him and asked nervously, "I knew it was bad when I didn't see Lou Xiao'e come in. Did she find anything?"
Zhou Zhiyuan replied in a low voice, "She didn't find anything, but if you don't run back, you'll definitely be found out."
Hearing this, Yu Li nervously looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "You two talked for a long time, what did you talk about?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was puzzled. Yu Li was so nervous, but she still had the mind to ask about this?
But looking at those curious eyes, Zhou Zhiyuan had to answer, "We didn't talk for a long time. After you entered the courtyard, I waited for five or six minutes before coming in. When we met, Lou Xiao'e asked: 'Where did you go?' I said: 'I went to answer the phone.' Then she went into the courtyard."
After Zhou Zhiyuan finished answering, Yu Li stared at him blankly, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Zhiyuan, we've been in contact a few times, I've helped you, and you should help me too. We should have established a good comrade relationship. Is it okay for you to fool me like this?"
Having said that, Zhou Zhiyuan could only helplessly reply, "Sister Yu, I can't say that Lou Xiao'e suspects that I'm a adulterer, right?"
As soon as this was said, Yu Li's fair oval face turned red, but she still asked nervously, "How did you answer?"
"Of course, I denied it..." Zhou Zhiyuan replied, "Don't worry, Lou Xiao'e just wants me to promise her one thing, she doesn't really suspect anything between us, don't think too much."
He thought that saying this would let Yu Li go back to the house with peace of mind, but he didn't expect her to ask curiously, "What did you promise her?"
Zhou Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise, then said, "Sister Yu, you should go back to the house quickly, otherwise Yan Jiefang will be suspicious."
"He's not at home," Yu Li replied decisively, "This matter started because of me, I have the right to know what you promised her."
Seeing her attitude, Zhou Zhiyuan discovered Yu Li's characteristics. Silence is only on the surface, but curiosity is comparable to a cat.
In order to get her back as soon as possible, Zhou Zhiyuan could only say, "Lou Xiao'e's friend works in a museum, and wants me to help her friend appraise a few antiques."
Hearing this answer, Yu Li gave a low "Oh".
Then asked, "Can you appraise antiques?"
Then asked again, "Does antiques make money?"
After asking two questions, she actually fell into contemplation.
Zhou Zhiyuan said worriedly, "Sister Yu, I've told you the truth. If you want to think about anything, go home and think about it. It's too dangerous for us to stand here."
Hearing his reminder, Yu Li nodded and said softly, "Wait until I think it over, I'll find you."
After saying this, Yu Li turned and left, and Zhou Zhiyuan felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He had caused trouble again.
He has a lot of troubles, but Hu Feng and Hu Biao are not troubles. They are being closely monitored by the police. Shen Lanbo has already informed him of the situation of these two brothers.
And the mutton fat white jade is not a trouble for the time being. Zhang Limin has already made it clear.
The black cat is a bit of trouble, but he did a good job in the early stage. Returning the copper ball to the black cat, one person and one cat can be regarded as a preliminary good relationship.
He is doubtful about this special creature, fearing that it will bring trouble to relatives and friends, but there are no such concerns when it comes to people.
He initially locked the abnormality in that building on someone. Without an inside ghost, the outside thieves would not be attracted. Under the condition that Zhang Limin guarantees the safety of his family, he has no worries.
What he is worried about is Shen Lanyin's matter. He is too worried about that big person, one side is respect, and the other side is fear.
But he is not too worried about that big person. The big person is reasonable. As long as he does not find out that Shen Jue is cheating him, this matter will pass.
But his wife is not easy to say, this is what he has to deal with with all his strength.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li came to the door again, and many things were linked together.
Thinking about it at this time, since he came home, it seems that things have never stopped, and they are not related to each other, each is independent.
At that time, this was the situation, but now there is a trend of mutual connection, this feeling is very bad.
