Chapter 247
At night, the streets of Nanfeng Country are decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and the common people parade the streets to appreciate the lanterns and watch juggling.The whole Fangshi is even more crowded.

The Wanfeng Building, which is one of the best in the city, is even more prosperous and lively.

But compared with the backyard of the Wanfeng Building, the backyard can be called a bleak one.

In the backyard of Wanfeng Building with no pretense, only the silvery moonlight pours down.

With the light of the waning moon, Shen Qiaoyan finally cleaned up the sundries requested by the shopkeeper today.

She wiped off the water on her hands, slowly stood up and stretched.

She twisted her neck, shook her arms, and relaxed her body.

Then, she looked up and looked around.

Apart from a woodshed for them to rest in and a locked back door, there is really nothing in the entire dilapidated backyard.

Shen Qiaoyan let out a long sigh.

The moonlight poured silently on her body, reflecting her emaciated shadow.

"It's really a quiet place." Shen Qiaoyan murmured.

The face of the old bustard suddenly flashed in her mind, thinking why did she not see the old bustard?

She turned her head to look at the position of the madam who was sitting next to her and doing the laundry with her.

There was no trace of the bustard on the small wooden bench.

Shen Qiaoyan shook his head and sighed.

"Where did the bustard go?"

At the same time, there was a loud noise from her stomach.

"Guru..."

Shen Qiaoyan lowered his head and touched his sunken stomach, then sighed again.

She seemed to have not eaten for a day.

The cool night breeze carried a faint fragrance over Shen Qiaoyan's nostrils.

The fragrance in the wind made her close her eyes unconsciously, and the cool wind gently brushed her cheeks, and she took a deep breath through her nose.

"Smells good." She sighed.

Immediately afterwards, her nose sniffed the fragrance, and her body involuntarily walked towards the direction of the fragrance.

Until she walked to the locked gate in the backyard, suddenly there was a smell of roast chicken in the wind.

She was already grunting from hunger, but her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked like she was salivating.

She swallowed, looked back at the empty backyard except for her, and then she took off the jade pendant she had been wearing around her waist.

Borrowing the moonlight, she put the jade pendant on her palm and looked at it carefully, thinking that this jade pendant is considered a high-end product, so she should be able to exchange it for some silver taels.

With an empty stomach, she thought of this, so she just left.

She took advantage of her easy jump, and then used her most proud lightness kung fu, and she quickly jumped to the other side of the door without any effort.

She yawned, straightened the broken hair around her ears, and walked out of the back alley with the jade pendant.

The moonlight is like silver, and the spring breeze is pleasant.

"Main Palace, I went to the Paowu to get some food..."

Just after Shen Qiaoyan left, the old bustard held her abnormally swollen chest with both hands, and just sneaked back from Wanfeng Building.

He finally returned to the backyard, and when he looked at him, Shen Qiaoyan was nowhere to be seen.

"The main palace." The old bustard called and searched in the backyard.

"Oh, that's weird, where's the main palace man?" The old bustard looked around the empty courtyard and scratched her head in confusion.

Not long after, he didn't look for Shen Qiaoyan and he didn't care so much anymore, and he was also hungry all day, and his stomach was flat.

He swallowed, quickly took out the food he stole from the kitchen from his clothes, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.
