Chapter 32 There are thieves!

Gu Rao took a nap, and when he woke up, the room was dark. When he opened the window, the sun was almost westward, and there were fewer boats on the river.

Leaning against the window and admiring the sunset for a while, he turned around and gathered the clothes he and Beye wore yesterday, hugged them in his arms and strolled downstairs.

It just so happened that there was the sound of selling water at the door.

"Sell water, two pennies for a load of water!"

Gu Rao opened the door.

"I'll buy a load of water."

The middle-aged man who sold the water stopped at the door. After collecting the money, he asked, "Shall I carry the water in for you, or let your man carry the water in?"

Gu Rao was reminded by this question.

This is an ancient time with many rules. When she is the only one at home, it is inappropriate to let a strange man into the house. If I had known it earlier, I would not have bought a load of water outside for outsiders to see.

"My man is out shopping, and he won't be back in a while. I can just carry it in by myself. You wait at the door, and I will return the bucket to you after I pour the water into it."

After finishing speaking, I went to fetch water by myself.

With all his strength, his cheeks were flushed, and he moved the bucket an inch to wipe the ground. When he reached the threshold, he used a lot of strength to lift the bucket. As soon as he entered the threshold, the bucket smashed to the ground On the ground, part of the water in the bucket also flowed out, and the skirt and shoes were wet.

Gu Rao, "..."

This suit was changed today!
The bucket Bie Ye usually carries is bigger than this bucket. He used to see him carrying two buckets of water with ease, and thought it was not heavy. Only after trying it himself did he realize that one bucket of water is so heavy!
Just going to continue pumping water.

A hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the handle of the bucket, and said enthusiastically, "Women are not naturally suitable for physical work, let me do it."

When she lowered her head, her eyes secretly glanced at Gu Rao's small cloth shoes and the maroon skirt that was stuck to her ankles after being wet by water.

It was clearly an ordinary coarse linen dress, but it couldn't conceal the woman's natural beauty and graceful figure, even the shoes she wore were so small.

I can hold it with one hand...

Gu Rao hesitated for a moment.

Liu Dali didn't seem to see her concerns, so he went in with water, glanced around the yard, and asked, "Where's the bucket?"

Gu Rao pointed to the kitchen.

Liu Dali quickly went back and forth twice, poured two buckets of water into the water tank, did not stay in the yard, and said after going out, "I sell water here every day, the former owner of this house moved out a while ago, The door has been closed and opened today, you just moved in, right?"

Gu Rao frowned, not used to the familiarity of strangers.

A hum was regarded as an answer, and then the order to evict the guest was issued, "Thank you for helping me carry the water, it's getting dark, and I still have a lot of clothes to wash..."

Liu Dali said wittily, "I'm leaving now, remember to take care of my business in the future."

After the people left, Gu Rao locked the door.

Soaked shoes are uncomfortable.

Anyway, there is no one else here, so I took out a pair of crystal sandals from the space and put them on. As for the wet skirt, I don't care about it for the time being, I just do the work, and I will do it myself later.

Go to the eaves and pick up the wooden basin on the ground, and slowly wash it at the washing table, until the sky is dark, and then the two people's clothes are cleaned.

Under the eaves there is a hemp rope tied to two top beams.

Gu Rao wrung out the washed clothes, shook them out one by one and hung them on the hemp rope to dry. By the time all this was done, it was completely dark.

One went upstairs in the dark and lit the candles in the candlesticks on the lamp table with a torch.

Sitting by the bed, he began to make clothes for Bie Ye.

Her own clothes have already been made, and the upper body has just fit, and the needlework is now handy, so there is no need to worry about messing up the clothes for Bie Ye for the first time.

Even compared to the slightly rusty and rough stitches when making clothes for myself, the clothes I made for Bie Ye have dense and neat stitches and threads.

The only downside is that it's a bit slower.

Hurry up these few days, when Bie Ye comes back, he can put on the new clothes he made for him, instead of continuing to switch between the two sets of clothes that don't fit.

Thinking of how he would look in the clothes she made, the corners of Gu Rao's mouth curled up unconsciously.

When doing things seriously, time always passes quickly, and when Gu Rao felt his eyes sore and had to stop, he realized that it was already midnight.

Gu Rao put away the unfinished clothes.

I got up and stretched, untied my belt, took off my coat, took out a wooden hanger from the space, put it beside the bed, hung my clothes on the hanger, took off my shoes and went to bed.

The pure cotton quilt, quilt, and water-blue silk quilt cover on the bed were all taken out of the space and put on when she was sleeping at noon, and she felt good sleeping on it.

Don't be a big man, he shouldn't think about the details of bedding.

If he really asked, he would at best say that he bought it when he was not at home.

Gu Rao rolled around twice in the comfortable bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all. She wondered if Bie Ye had already fallen asleep at this time, and where she was sleeping.

The more he thought about it, the more he frowned.

She didn't think about it before, but now that she thought about it, she began to worry about how Bie Ye would sleep alone on the mountain.

Do you build a fire casually and sleep with your clothes on by the fire, or are you lucky enough to find a cave and sleep on hard rocks?
Gu Rao couldn't sleep more and more.

She can live a fairly comfortable life now, almost all of which are given by Bieye. In order to earn money to support the family, Bieye walks alone on the mountain with heavy loads, but she enjoys the happiness at home with peace of mind.

If only he had realized that Bieye would have no place to sleep at night, at least he could buy him a quilt with the last little money at home.

Although it is spring now, the weather is still warm during the day, but it cools down at night, how can I sleep without a quilt?

Just as Gu Rao was tossing and turning, a dull sound suddenly came from the yard, like the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

Gu Rao's heart tightened.

She was clearly the only one in the house, and she didn't have any small animals. Even if a mouse accidentally knocked something down, it shouldn't make such a sound.

She didn't dare to act rashly, pretended to be asleep, and listened to the movement outside.

After the yard was quiet for a while, there was a sound of cautious footsteps, and after a while, someone came downstairs again, and the door bolt was knocked off by something.

Gu Rao, "..."

There are thieves!

He got up quietly, picked up his shoes and clothes, and the piggy bank under the bed, and dodged into the space to hide.

You can throw away other things, but you can't throw away the small amount of money!
When he was in the space, Gu Rao could sense whether there were people within a range of about twenty feet outside, and he could also hear the sounds from outside.

After the thief went upstairs, he secretly pried open the door bolt of the master bedroom.

Gu Rao, "..."

Co-author, the door lock of the gate, and the layers of door bolts in the house are just a joke, right?
So easy to pry open!
Either the bolt was too rough, or the thief was a habitual thief, and practice made perfect for breaking doors.
