Chapter 259: Midnight thief attack
Time is quiet and dusk remains the same.
After gnawing on the grilled pig's trotters, I lay in the rocking chair with satisfaction and enjoying the beautiful sunset.
The low walls of the courtyard cannot block the sunset in the sky, and the colorful colors are dyed layer by layer, which can always easily evoke her memories of the past.
Before I knew it, I had left the General's Mansion for more than half a year, but the person I remembered did not fade at all.
The little guy in his belly might not have eaten the roasted pig's trotters and was dissatisfied with it. At this moment, he kept tossing in his belly.
Wen Wan shook her palm gently over her belly, "You should be more at ease. If you want to give birth to you safely, I have to fight for my life."
The little guy in his belly couldn't understand at all, and kicked her on the belly again, it didn't hurt, it was like acting coquettish.
Banyue came out with a pot of goat milk and saw Wenwan talking to the unborn child, which was no longer surprising.
In the words of the wife, this is called "prenatal education".
Half a month does not understand what prenatal education is. She only knows that their wife is so pitiful. Her husband died and has no relatives and no reason. In this way, the wife kindly saved her.
Sometimes, Banyue would be curious, why the wife is different from others, and she seems to know everything.
Astronomical and geography, it is more sensible than the Master in the town.
But the wife knows nothing, and she knows nothing about her virtue and beauty.
Half a month ago, she had enough goat milk. When she turned around, she found that Wenwan was already asleep on the recliner.
The afterglow of the sunset shone on her face, her fair skin was a little red.
"Madam is so beautiful."
Banyue couldn't help but murmur, then went to the house to get a small blanket to cover her.
After half a month left, Wenwan, who was asleep, began to sob silently. Tears from the corners of her eyes flowed down her cheeks, and in a moment she wet the silk clothes on her shoulders.
I heard the gentle mosquito-like whisper, "A Chai..."
I didn't hear clearly for half a month, but only heard some "wealth".
What is the wife’s dead husband called Cai?
It's a good name, it sounds very rich, but unfortunately, he died young.
Banyue thought randomly and took the brocade handkerchief to Wenwan to gently wipe her tears.
Wen Wan woke up slowly and stared at Banyue blankly. For a moment, she had not had time to come back to her senses from her dream.
She looked around in a daze, her eyes dimmed instantly. Yes, she had left the general's mansion.
Without Shen Yu, without someone she knew before, she had to adapt to the world again.
Seeing that she woke up, Banyue stood up and went to carry the copper pot, "Madam, the goat milk is hot, you can drink a bowl and rest early."
Wen Wan responded and slowly drank it with her goat's milk.
Before I finished drinking a bowl of goat milk, there was a sound of beating drums and drums outside the door, and someone vaguely shouted: "Catch the thief!"
thief?
The people of Taohua Town are simple and gentle. Wenwan has lived in Taohua Town for more than half a year, but she has never heard of anyone who has been thieves.
Wen Wan ordered: "Half a month, go and close the courtyard gate. Our courtyard wall is too short to prevent thieves. We should hide back to the house and close the doors and windows more securely."
Banyue listened to her and immediately went to close the courtyard.
The two of them hid in a room, turned off the lights, and shrank into the bed.
Wen Wan put the dagger at hand and comforted Banyue and said, "Don't be nervous. The people in the yamen are already pursuing the thieves. Taohua Town is not big or small, so the thief will not be so coincidental. They just come to our house."
Banyue responded, but the little girl had never experienced anything and was still so nervous that she dared not close her eyes. Wen Wan was so sleepy that she stuffed the dagger into Banyue's hand and lay down with her clothes for a while.
I don’t know how long it took, Wen Wan heard a scream in a daze.
She sat up with her body and found that Half Moon was not on the bed, the door was open, and the cold moonlight fell on the threshold.
"Half a month?"
Wen Wan walked out carefully, and saw Half Moon squatting on the ground in horror with the moonlight. There was a black figure in front of her.
Next to the black shadow, there was a tall young man standing. The young man held a wooden stick in his hand, and his teeth were trembling as he spoke, revealing his nervousness at the moment.
"Don't be afraid, my sister, the thief and the thief have been knocked out."
He told Banyue not to be afraid, but he was shaking like a sieve, looking very funny.
At this critical moment, Wen Wan, who is erect with a big belly, is actually the most calm one.
"Don't be standing there, tie the person up quickly. If the thief wakes up later, we are just a few weaklings, who can deal with it?"
The young man and Banyue were stunned and then they all came back to their senses.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Banyue went to the kitchen to get the rope and tied up the thief who fell to the ground with the young man.
Wen Wan lit the tung oil lamp, and then she saw clearly the young man's appearance, handsome facial features, red lips and white teeth, which was a very amazing appearance.
Although his appearance was amazing, the young man's behavior was not frivolous. He bowed and bowed to Wen Wan.
"Hello, madam, I live next door. My surname is Wu, and my name is just one of the characters "Xiang".
It turned out that he was the new neighbor next door.
Wu Xiang: "I was in the study and heard the girl screaming. In desperation, I climbed over the wall and asked my wife to forgive me."
Wen Wan waved her hand, "We are in a hurry to follow the power. We don't pay so much attention to it. We have to thank the young master for taking action."
As she spoke, she glanced at the height of the courtyard wall, her eyes were fixed on the edge of his palm, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
The scholar, who seemed to be powerless, was very quick to climb up the courtyard wall, and his palms also had calluses left by long-term work.
Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, then lay down on the wall of the yard and called him Shutong, "Xiaoshu, go to the yamen to report to the official, just say we will catch it..."
Halfway through the words, he realized that the action of lying on the wall did not seem to be like a scholar. He then retracted his neck in disappointment, said hello to Wen Wan awkwardly and walked around through the main entrance.
Captain Zhou, who was in the yamen, came down with his hands to pick the thief away.
Captain Zhou called Wenwan to the corner and spoke again.
"It's good that Madam is fine. I just heard something happened in your yard, but I was shocked. As my old friend asked me, if something happened to you, how can I explain it to others?"
The old friend that Captain Zhou mentioned was his benefactor who saved his life when he was young. At that time, Minzi's people gave Wen Wan a token and sent her here.
Captain Zhou looked at the token and helped her settle down without saying a word when he heard what she had happened.
For more than half a year, Captain Zhou has taken good care of Wen Wan and is an old captain who is grateful.
"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I'm fine. By the way, it's all right, why did the thieves come out of our Taohua Town?" Wen Wan said.
When talking about this, Captain Zhou also had a melancholy face.
"I don't know where the news came out, saying that a rich man lived in our town. In the past few days, many thieves from other places have come to the town. This one in your yard is the third one we have caught."
