Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 214 Chapter 215: Making trouble

After the topic of renting a house was over, the three of them started chatting about some family issues.

The dishes were just a few flavors, but the wine was more than five rounds. Xu Damao drank a bit too much, Yan Bugui also drank a lot, but Wang Zhendong drank a moderate amount.

After eating and drinking, Xu Damao and Yan Bugui left one after another. Wang Zhendong originally thought that Xu Damao would stay to talk about something, but it seemed that nothing happened.

Maybe he was overthinking, or maybe Xu Damao just wanted to get close to him.

Of course, it was more likely that Xu Damao had no chance to speak because of Yan Bugui's appearance. In the end, he drank too much and probably forgot about it.

After Wang Zhendong tidied up, he went to the sink to wash up. After finishing his work, he went back to the house and made a cup of tea. He sat under the eaves of the corridor and drank slowly to dispel the alcohol smell.

But he was thinking about what Xu Damao said before, that famine has begun at this stage.

It may not be obvious in the city, but it may be a different scene in the countryside.

During this period, the country is seriously short of foreign exchange and is still exporting grain in exchange for much-needed foreign exchange. What should we do?

That underground palace?

Wang Zhendong suddenly thought of what he had planned before, to go to the underground palace, collect the things inside into the space, and then release a huge amount of gold.

Perhaps, this can solve the shortage of foreign exchange well.

Anyway, these golds were plundered, and taking out a thousand tons would have no impact on him. Instead of putting them in space, it would be better to use some to help the country.

Otherwise, relying on the food donated by him will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

After thinking about it in his mind, he felt that his plan to go out tomorrow could only be postponed for a few days.

Let’s take care of the matter of the underground palace first.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Zhendong got up and went back to the house. Not long after closing the door, he also turned off the lights.

In the middle of the night, Wang Zhendong came out of the space. He did not turn on the lights, but changed into dark clothes.

The shoes are also a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, which fit well and make no noise.

This kind of shoes is very suitable for thieves, who can climb over walls and fall to the ground silently.

Gently pulling the door latch and opening the door, Wang Zhendong stepped out of the door, then quietly closed the door and looked up at the night sky.

There were stars and the weather was nice, but it was dark and dark without a moon.

I checked the time before and it was almost early ten o'clock. At ten o'clock in the evening during this period, it can be said that everything is completely silent and there are no lights.

Walking along the eaves of the corridor, he reached the middle door. Just as he was about to turn and go down the steps, he suddenly heard a sound in his ears. It was the sound of footsteps, and it was definitely unmistakable.

Although the footsteps were very light, his hearing ability was not comparable to that of ordinary people. He immediately dodged and leaned against the corner of the middle door.

Then he stretched out his head and looked towards the middle courtyard. Sure enough, he saw a dark figure sneaking out from the direction of Jia's house.

In the haziness, Wang Zhendong judged from the outline of the body shape that it was undoubtedly Jia Zhang.

I was wondering, this old woman stayed up all night and ran out to become a thief?

Is this going to the backyard?

What are you doing in the backyard?

Looking for Xu Damao?

Impossible, would that be looking for bangs?

It seems impossible. Could it be stealing?

Wang Zhendong thought for a while and prepared to follow him to have a look. He was quite curious about what Jia Zhang did. It would be interesting if he found out some gossip.

If a middle-aged woman goes out in the middle of the night and is sneaky, what will happen?

Wang Zhendong's heart was itching, and he was also speculating whether Jia Zhang would have an affair with Liu Haizhong.

But just as Wang Zhendong was about to take a step, there was a sound of subtle footsteps coming from the east side of the central courtyard, causing him to quickly stop his steps.

Then I saw another figure coming from Yi Zhonghai's house in the east wing, and also walking towards the moon gate in the backyard.

At this moment, Wang Zhendong suddenly understood.

Come on, these two are really having an affair?

This isn't going to the backyard, it's obviously going to the cellar!

Needless to say, the figure was Yi Zhonghai. When Wang Zhendong saw him walking over, he quickly followed him, not to see him, but to confirm. He walked quietly to the moon door and slowly approached the steps at the cellar entrance. Wang Zhendong knelt down and listened carefully.

Sure enough, the whispers of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang came from the cellar. Wang Zhendong blushed when he heard it. He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly stood up to leave.

But at this moment, he actually heard footsteps again. This time it came from the backyard, but it didn't come to the middle courtyard. The sound also came from the direction of Liu Haizhong's house, and it wasn't light footsteps. Very casual.

It means it is convenient to get out. When the weather gets hot, many people's urine buckets will be placed outside in the corner.

Sure enough, he heard the sound of water. It must be Liu Haizhong or a boy from the Liu family, who came out for convenience.

But it also made Wang Zhendong have a smirk on his face. He slowly walked to the gable of Jia's house and fumbled around, and sure enough he found a broken pottery basin.

He remembered throwing a few broken pottery pots in this corner. Picking up the pottery pots, he turned back to the moon door, looked at the steps at the cellar entrance, and threw the pottery pots over.

After throwing it away, he climbed onto the Moon Gate, climbed up to the small tile roof of the Chaoshou Veranda from the Moon Gate, and then squatted down.

At this time, the pottery basin had fallen to the ground, making a crisp crackling sound and a crackling sound. In such a quiet night, it was simply a loud noise.

As expected, a voice came from the bangs in the backyard, "Who is it?"

Then I heard Liu Haizhong's footsteps, coming this way, the lights of Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard turned on, and the lights of Jia's house also turned on.

Wang Zhendong covered his mouth to hold back laughter. He could imagine how frightened the two people in the cellar were by this crisp sound.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly ran up from the cellar, but tripped on the last few steps and almost fell to the ground.

Jia Zhang followed behind. Not to mention his chubby body, he ran very neatly. Yi Zhonghai had just stabilized his body. Jia Zhang didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would stop suddenly.

It hit Yi Zhonghai's back directly. Yi Zhonghai was hit by Jia Zhang and fell forward, while Jia Zhang squatted back under the reaction force.

Behind her was the steps to the cellar entrance, and then Jia Zhang rolled into the cellar again.

Wang Zhendong was on the roof of the small tile. He almost couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He covered his mouth with his hand to stifle his laughter.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about Jia Zhang at this time. He quickly got up and was about to leave quickly. However, he didn't expect that Liu Haizhong had already arrived, and when he saw the figure at the entrance of the cellar, Liu Haizhong shouted.

"Who? Come here, a thief has entered the yard..."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Liu Haizhong's shouting, he suddenly felt chilled all over his body, his calves and stomach were trembling, he felt guilty and panicked, and his hands and feet were weak.

This was a physical reaction of extreme fear, not because of timidity, but because Yi Zhonghai was frightened and frightened at the thought of his lifelong fame being ruined tonight.

Liu Haizhong did not get closer to check. Although there was some light coming from Shazhu's house, it could not illuminate the person clearly and it was still hazy.

Therefore, Liu Haizhong didn't dare to catch a thief or anything. He shouted and even retreated.

But at this time, the door of Shazhu's house opened, and Shazhu heard the sound and came. At the same time, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and Auntie came.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was also woken up, along with his second aunt, three brothers Liu Guangyuan, and men and women from two other families.

Suddenly, the entrance to the Moon Gate cellar was surrounded by people.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, Yi Zhonghai's face was extremely gloomy. Many people were a little surprised when they saw that he was an old man and could not understand what was going on.

But as luck would have it, Jia Zhang's grunting sound came from the cellar at this time. The roll just now caused her to fall hard.

Hearing Mrs. Jia Zhang's voice, everyone showed strange expressions, and the aunt's face suddenly turned hot, and she turned around and left.

Jia Dongxu, on the other hand, slowly turned from gloomy to angry, or in other words, angry from embarrassment. He glared at Yi Zhonghai, wishing he could go up and slap him a few times.
