The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 132

"Then brother, slow down on the way!" Old Gu got up and walked to the door, seeing that he could see clearly outside, he didn't stay with Uncle Gu, so as not to see the way back when it was dark.

"Hey! Then I'm going home!" Uncle Gu waved his hand and walked towards the path in the village.

Seeing that Uncle Gu had left, Father Gu locked the gate of the courtyard.But he didn't notice that there was a dark figure outside the courtyard wall, looking into the Gu family's courtyard.Seeing that Gu's father had closed the courtyard door, he had no choice but to lean on the wall of Gu's house, and then shrank back.Looking at the place where the figure was waiting, it was the courtyard next door that the Gu family bought.

Gu Chengyu waited for Father Gu and the others to fall asleep, then entered the space, practiced internal strength for an hour, and then practiced swordsmanship for an hour, calmed down, and planned to practice calligraphy in the space for a while.

When the ink is finished and ready to pick up the pen.Suddenly, Gu Chengyu heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the yard.Although the voice is relatively soft, but since he cultivated his inner strength, his ear strength is not ordinary.

After listening carefully for a while, someone should have entered his yard.Although he walked on tiptoe, his steps were heavy. This should be a man, and a thief must have entered his house.It has been rumored that his family has a lot of silver, so of course it will be missed by those who care.

Gu Chengyu picked up the small bow that was used last time in the space, thought for a while and then picked up a dagger.Of course the small bow can be used at a long distance, but if the person is close, the dagger can just come in handy.

Taking the bow and dagger out of the space, Gu Chengyu quietly got up from the bed, got off the bed, put on his shoes, and walked lightly to the window of the main room.Fortunately, his eyes can see at night, and he can see clearly the furnishings in the house. Unfortunately, the windows in the main house are down. If you want to see the situation in the yard, you have to raise the windows, but he is afraid to open them. The sound of the window will alarm the thief.

Looking back at Father Gu and the others, they found that they were fast asleep.Gu Chengyu still decided not to wake them up. Once a person is deeply asleep, if they are suddenly woken up, the noise will definitely not be small, especially in this dark and silent night.

Since the thief wanted to come in and steal something, he must have rummaged through the house. There was nothing valuable in the yard.

Gu Chengyu held his breath and listened for a while, the thief walked very slowly, as if he was afraid of bumping into something.But the goal is very clear, it is aimed at the main house.It seems that this person should know the life routine and habits of the Gu family. He may have stepped on it beforehand, or he may be an acquaintance.

The money of the Gu family is kept in the cabinet next to the kang in the main room, and on the kang live old man Gu and Mrs. Lu. If they want to steal the money, they must take the keys from Mrs. Lu.That's right, Mrs. Lu couldn't unlock the key even when she was sleeping.

You have to be careful not to make any noise, hold the key, even if you want to unlock it, you have to open it two or three times.In fact, it is really difficult to steal silver.Gu Chengyu guessed that this person may be from the village or from the surrounding area, but he is not very familiar with the Gu family, because he does not know that it is very difficult to get money.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, then took the bow and arrow back to the space, and took out the two small stones left in the space last time.The window was slightly opened a gap, the moonlight tonight is very thick, but it is still a little clear when it shines on the ground.Gu Chengyu looked to the left towards the entrance of the main house, and seeing that no one could be seen, he held the stone in his hand, ready to shoot it as soon as he saw someone.

Of course, people are not like pheasants, so the strength must be mastered well, not only to be able to stop his actions, but not to really hurt people.Otherwise, the thief would be caught, and he might be beaten up afterwards.

Gu Chengyu stared at the door without blinking.Suddenly, a man wearing a crow-blue coarse cloth bunt came into Gu Chengyu's eyes, but this man's face was still covered with a piece of cloth, so that Gu Chengyu didn't see the thief's face.However, there is no rush, once you catch him, you will know who he is.

Seeing this man walking towards the main room, Gu Chengyu felt a little strange. According to common sense, the ancient door latch had to be scraped slowly with a knife. This man didn't have a knife in his hand, so how could he get in?Since he was curious, Gu Chengyu planned to wait a while to see what this man could do.

Sure enough, the man's footsteps suddenly stopped, he patted his head lightly, and then walked towards Gu Chengyu again.

This move startled Gu Chengyu, thinking that the man had already discovered him.But, Wei Wei thought about it, and it was wrong, the action just now seemed to be something that he hadn't remembered.At this moment, people came towards this side, Gu Chengyu guessed that this man must have no way to go through the main entrance, so he planned to come in through the window.It seems that this man is also stupid, this must not have been thought of beforehand.

Gu Chengyu wanted to approach everyone, so Gu Chengyu decided not to wait any longer.He shot the stone in his hand towards the man's knee, and after one blow, he heard a muffled groan.Gu Chengyu thought that the thief was afraid of being caught, so he was in pain and did not dare to make a sound.

In order to prevent the thief from running away, Gu Chengyu threw out another stone in his hand, which hit the man's other knee.

At this time, the man's heart was panicked. He didn't know what happened?Why does his leg suddenly hurt so much?It seemed that the pain was in the bones, but he touched his knee with both hands, but there was no bleeding. It was so painful that he felt that he was struggling to walk. Looking at the quiet yard around him, the man was even more frightened. It's really evil!

The man turned around, intending to run out of the yard, no matter what, he ran away first, but the knees of his legs couldn't use his strength, and the man suddenly sat down on the ground.

Gu Chengyu saw that the man was struggling to get up, but it was futile, so he was relieved, and now he couldn't run away.So, he leisurely climbed onto the kang on Gu's side, shaking Gu's body lightly.

"Father! Father! Wake up, a thief has entered the house!" Gu Chengyu lowered his voice and said to Old Gu.

Papa Gu, who was shaken at first, was still a little dazed, but upon hearing this, he immediately chased away the sleepy bug.The thought of talking loudly would definitely scare the thief away, so he suppressed the urgency in his heart, touched Xiaobao's hands, and found that his son was fine, so he was relieved.He suddenly thought of Lu Shi who was sleeping next to him, touched Lu Shi twice, and found that her breathing sound was very even, and she should still be asleep.Father Gu heaved a sigh of relief.

ah!Oops!The thief didn't enter the main room, could it be that he entered another wing room, or went directly into the back room?Old man Gu hurriedly got off the kang, he was about to put on his shoes and prepared to go inside to see Gu Wan first.

"Father! Don't worry, the thief is still in the yard." Gu Chengyu said softly, tugging at Old Gu's sleeve.

Although the thief couldn't escape, he didn't want to wake up his mother and second sister. He would wake them up after they caught the thief, so that they wouldn't be afraid.
