Chapter 58 Catching a Thief at Night
Gu Nanxi’s words restored the young man Su Xuanming’s fighting spirit.
At dawn, he stepped on the morning dew and went to the academy to report.
However, someone arrived earlier than him.
In the green mist, a tall and pretty figure like a green bamboo appeared in front of the small courtyard.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" Su Xuanming asked softly, fearing to scare the woman.
"My name is Wen Yu, can your academy recruit female students?" Wen Yu turned around, and a faint smile gradually appeared on her fair face, making her even more beautiful.
Su Xuanming quickly lowered his head and no longer looked directly at the girl: "I hired him. However, the situation in our Baichuan Academy is somewhat special. Has your family agreed?"
"I am alone and do not need to Others agree ."
"I took the liberty." Su Xuanming opened the door of the small courtyard and invited Wen Yu to come in and take a look, "Do you have a maid to accompany you? Our academy is in a remote place, so it may be inconvenient for you to be a woman."
Wen Yu turned around in a circle minding his own business and said with emotion: "It is indeed a study room and a shabby room."
Su Xuanming blushed and was ashamed: "I am so shy in my pocket that I am making this little lady laugh. ”
Wen Yu didn't mind, and asked cheerfully: "How can Shu Xiu collect it? I don't live on campus, and I have a servant to pick me up."
Su Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this new student didn't live on campus. school!
There are currently only two rooms in the academy, one for Li Daniu and the other for himself to use occasionally at night.
Su Xuanming stretched out a finger: "One, two, one semester!"
"Sure! I'll report again when the semester starts. But Mrs. Yongchang Hou is giving lectures?"
"Huh? That's right! ”
There is only one wife in the whole school, A Niang. If she doesn’t go to school, no one can go to school!
Wen Yu is like a gust of wind, coming lightly, walking around in the academy, and walking away lightly again...
Su Xuanming sat on the stone pillar in the courtyard, dazed for a moment. After a while, he ran to Li Daniu's room and shook his head at the sleeping Li Daniu: "There is a new student in our academy! There is a new student in our academy!"< br>
The sleepy Li Daniu opened his eyes with difficulty With eyes wide open, he said weakly: "Congratulations, Da Lang! Congratulations, Da Lang! But, can you let me sleep a little longer? There was movement in the courtyard yesterday, and tonight, I must catch that little thief!"
Li Daniu's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Su Xuanming from head to toe.
Could it be that they were sent by Wu Shanchang and Jijiu?
What do they want to do? Burning down the academy? !
A look of struggle appeared on Su Xuanming's face, and he finally said firmly: "Tonight, I will stay vigil with you!"
Li Daniu glanced at Su Xuanming, who was walking slowly, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly.
Su Xuanming first walked around the academy and found no firewood or kerosene. Then he went to the study to check and found nothing missing.
The old farmer who was selling the house saw him sneaking around and asked curiously: "Su Dalang, what are you doing?"
Su Xuanming was startled by the old farmer's voice. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he patted his chest and said, "Old man, why are you here? Li Daniu said that a thief broke in last night. I was afraid that the thief would be harmful to the academy, so I wanted to find some clues."
The old farmer looked very strange and hesitated to speak.
"Old man, did you see anyone suspicious last night?" Su Xuanming lay on the ground, raised his buttocks and looked at the fence.
The old farmer put down his pole and couldn't help but remind him: "Su Dalang, don't look for it, it's not here at the fence." "Why?"
The old farmer took out the dry tobacco from his basket. He pinched a small amount of dry leaves and put them on top: "Because there is more than just this little thief. In the past ten years, I don't know how many people have come to the yard and plowed through it."
"Ah?!" Su Xuanming quickly got up, his eyes as big as bells, "Is there something hidden in the courtyard? But we didn't find anything."
The old farmer rolled his eyes and said, : "If you can find it, will it be your turn to buy it?"
"Ten years ago, there was a rumor in Kyoto that there was a rare treasure buried in my small courtyard. So, no matter it was daytime, It's still dark, it will be Someone came to look for it secretly."
Perhaps thinking of something irritating, the old farmer knocked the cigarette pole hard: "Humph, these wicked smoking things are actually coming together. Not even the rice that is about to ear. Let it go, a good rice field has been destroyed to pieces!"
Su Xuanming glanced at the overgrown field and whispered: "This field doesn't look like growing rice."< br>
The old farmer used a pole to lift up the soil under his feet, and saw that the soil under the weeds turned out to be brown and black: "You are the eldest son of Mrs. Yongchang Hou. How can I deceive you? Because of the harassment in those years, I am very annoyed. It was annoying, so I simply stopped farming and poured a lot of fertilizer into this land. ”
"They are so disgusting!" the old farmer cursed, and continued, "In time for the spring tomorrow, you plow this land, get rid of these weeds, and it will become a first-class field!"
Recuperate and recuperate! The fields that have been fertilized for ten years are still fertilized by various kinds of fertilization every year. It is a treasure land that is even more difficult to find than first-class fields!
"Many, thank you, old man."
Su Xuanming didn't quite understand the value of this black land, but the old farmers said that they had gotten a big advantage, so just say thank you. .
Seeing the old farmer about to leave, Su Xuanming hurriedly stopped him: "Old man, this treasure?"
The old farmer staggered away with his hands behind his back, and the pole stayed steady on his shoulders without holding it with his hands. Wen Dangdang: "I don't know, no one has found it, and no one knows what kind of treasure it is."
Su Xuanming sighed heavily, yes, after listening to the ancient talk, he still didn't understand. What happened.
As Su Xuanming looked forward to it, night fell.
The dark clouds are like a black veil, covering the bright moon, revealing only a hazy light, shining on the silent earth.
Li Daniu blew out the candle and gestured to Su Xuanming to keep breathing and not make any noise.
The large bamboo window is covered with a layer of window screen.
Li Daniu carefully opened a corner of the window screen, squinted one eye and looked out the window.
Su Xuanming followed suit and opened another corner.
In the dark night, hunters lurk quietly, competing with their prey for strength.
Perhaps yesterday's success gave the prey courage.
I saw a gray figure running out of the dry ditch, picking up a hoe and digging.
After digging a few times, the man stopped again, looked around, and saw no one there, so he continued!
Su Xuanming wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Li Daniu.
The next second, the man stopped again and continued to look like a groundhog in the field!
It turns out that he was just pretending! What a cunning little thief!
Su Xuanming was stunned, these days, even a little thief has to engage in conspiracy?
Li Daniu narrowed his eyes, and when the man was immersed in digging, he jumped over the fence with a few jumps like a cunning rabbit, ran to the man, and threw him down!
"You little thief, where can you escape! How dare you break ground on your Grandpa Li's land!"
