five minutes later.

Lou Xiao'e's breathing was rapid and her eyes were red.

Cao Yue quickly let her go.

Lou Xiao'e took the opportunity to breathe deeply.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e finally came to her senses. She looked up and met Cao Yue's burning gaze, which made her heart flutter and her mind excited.

A feeling she had never experienced before surged into her heart. Lou Xiao'e wanted to escape, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and her limbs were sore and weak.

"Xiao Cao, I...I want to rest..." Lou Xiao'e's voice trembled with a hint of pleading, and her breathing became panting.

"Sister Xiao'e, I'm leaving now. Good night."

Cao Yue raised the corner of his mouth slightly and retracted his aggressive gaze.

He turned and left the room, considerately closing the door for Lou Xiao'e, and finally said with concern: "Sister Xiao'e, have a good dream tonight!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard the door close, she stroked her chest and let out a long sigh.

Thinking back to the murderous look in Cao Yue's eyes just now, he couldn't help but spit twice.

This little Cao has become more and more bold recently, so I have to control myself.

Lou Xiao'e did not feel the slightest bit of aversion, but instead was filled with reluctance to see Cao Yue leave.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lou Xiao'e blushed, her heart pounding, and she touched her slightly swollen lips, feeling ashamed of her thoughts just now.

"It's all Xu Damao's fault!"

Lou Xiao'e quickly excused herself.

Thinking of Xu Damao flirting with other girls outside, Lou Xiao'e became extremely angry and the guilt in her heart disappeared.

Lou Xiao'e stood there lost in thought. She didn't know how long it had been before her feet went numb and she finally reacted.

She moved step by step to the door, inserted the bolt, and walked around for a few minutes before returning to normal.

After fetching water and washing up, Lou Xiao'e took off her clothes, got into bed, and covered her entire body.

After a while, faint sobbing sounds were heard from under the quilt.

……

The next day.

Because the fish in the space were almost sold out, Cao Yue did not get up early to go to the Pigeon Market.

I had a comfortable sleep and didn't get up until after eight o'clock.

After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock.

Middle Court.

Jia Zhang was lying on the window of her house, staring out. When she saw Cao Yue riding his bicycle away, she quickly reminded her son:

"Dongxu, the little bastard went out on his bike. I also saw him holding a fishing rod and a pickaxe."

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "He is going to dig a hole in the ice outside the city to fish."

"Should we let Banggeng go to his house now?" Jia Zhang asked impatiently.

Jia Dongxu shook his head: "No hurry, wait five minutes first."

Qin Huairu opened her mouth, wanting to stop him but not daring to.

Last night she didn't agree with Banggeng going to Cao Yue's house to steal things, and as a result she was scolded by the old woman and beaten with a feather duster.

Jia Dongxu watched from the side without stopping it.

Qin Huairu hated the mother and son to death. How could she let her own child become a thief?

What made her even more angry was that when Banggeng heard that he was asked to steal things from Cao Yue's house, he immediately agreed without any fear.

The gleam in his eyes was exactly the same as Jia Dongxu's.

It really fits the saying: A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s son will dig holes!

Qin Huairu wanted to educate her son well, but because of Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, mother and son, she didn't dare to say much.

After all, she was a country woman, and Jia Dongxu married her just because she was beautiful.

Qin Huairu has no say in the Jia family at all.

……

Cao Yue arrived at the foot of the mountain outside the city and checked the hunting traps as usual.

We had a good harvest today, with five hares, two pheasants and six doves in total.

After putting the prey into the space and re-setting the trap, Cao Yue went to the river again and chose a new spot to fish.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, they had caught fish weighing five or six hundred kilograms.

Cao Yue guessed that He Yushui might return to the Siheyuan today, so he decided to go home early.

……

The neighbors were envious when they saw Cao Yue's bicycle was filled with rabbits, pheasants and big fish.

They had thought about fishing like Cao Yue, but they caught nothing.

Cao Yue rode his bicycle through the central courtyard and took a special look at He Yushui's room.

Just now.

The door was opened and He Yushui "happened" to walk out. She looked at Cao Yue in surprise and tried to greet him as if nothing had happened.

"Cao Yue, you're back?"

Unfortunately, He Yushui’s acting skills were too poor. When Cao Yue saw the joy flashing across her eyes, he knew that she had been waiting for him at home.

Cao Yue didn't expose her, and smiled and said, "Yushui, when did you come back?"

"I just came back not long ago too." He Yushui lifted her hair.

Cao Yue looked at He Yushui and found that she had dressed up carefully today, looking even more pure and lovely.

Women should look after those who please themselves!

Cao Yue smiled and said, "Yushui, you see, I finally caught these wild game today, but my cooking skills are not good. Can you help me?"

He Yushui tilted her head and said angrily, "I finally got a day off, and you want to use me as your laborer."

"No way, we are old classmates, we should help each other, don't you even want to help me with this?"

Cao Yue pretended to be angry.

He Yushui pouted, thought for a while, and finally said helplessly:

"Okay, since you are so pitiful, I will help you this time. This won't happen again."

"Thank you, old classmate."

After Cao Yue thanked him, he winked at He Yushui mischievously and whispered, "Then I'll wait for you at home."

He Yushui felt something was ambiguous and glared at Cao Yue in embarrassment.

Cao Yue chuckled and rode his bicycle into the backyard.

As soon as Cao Yue opened the door and was about to enter the house, his good mood immediately disappeared.

The house was turned upside down and it was obvious that a thief had broken into it.

Cao Yue hurriedly pulled out on his bicycle, parked it aside, and shouted:

"Someone come quickly! There's a thief in my house! There's a big thief in our yard!"

The sound was so deafening that everyone in the entire courtyard could hear it.

The first person to arrive was Lou Xiao'e from next door.

"Xiao Cao, was your house robbed? Did anything get stolen?"

Cao Yue pointed inside the house and said loudly, "Sister Xiao'e, everything was fine when I left this morning. Take a look inside the house now."

Lou Xiao'e stood at the door and looked out, she saw that the tables and chairs in the living room were all tilted to one side or the other, everything in the kitchen cabinet had been turned out, the quilts and pillows on the bed were thrown on the floor, dirty from being stepped on and covered with mud, and there was a large watermark on the quilt.

Cao Yue had a very sensitive nose and had already smelled a faint smell of urine.

"Xiao Cao, I'm sorry. I had a headache today and stayed in bed all day. I vaguely heard some noises in your house, and I thought you were on vacation at home. I didn't think much about it. I wish I had come to check on you earlier."

Lou Xiao'e said in annoyance.

"Sister Xiao'e, do you have a headache? Are you feeling better now?"

Cao Yue hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's much better."

When Lou Xiao'e saw that Cao Yue cared about her health as soon as he heard that she was not feeling well, and even forgot about the theft in her house, her heart warmed and her eyes were filled with ripples when she looked at Cao Yue.

"Cao Yue, what are you yelling about?"

At this moment, the girl in the backyard, with Zhu Bajie's belly pressed against her bangs, walked over slowly.

Soon after, He Yushui, Yi Zhonghai, an auntie and others also ran over, asking what was going on.

Cao Yue was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Haizhong and said directly to Yi Zhonghai:

"Uncle, come and take a look, my house has been robbed!"

Yi Zhonghai had a serious expression on his face. He stood at the door and looked inside. His face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

"Xiao Cao, did you lose anything?"

"I don't know. In order to protect the scene, I didn't go in to take inventory."

As Cao Yue spoke, he glanced at the neighbors around him. After a round look, he did not see any trace of the Jia family.

My voice just now was so loud that even several neighbors in the front yard came over. It was impossible that the people in the Jia family didn't hear it.

The only reason they didn't come was because they felt guilty.

Cao Yue already had the answer in his mind. This was most likely a good thing done by the Jia family.

The one who took direct action must be the one who stole the holy stick.

Because Cao Yue had sharp eyes, he saw a child's footprint on the quilt.

Moreover, stealing things and then peeing on the quilt, only a child would do such a wicked thing.

Last time, I kicked Banggeng, and the kid holds a grudge against me, so he is trying to disgust him on purpose.

Liu Haizhong was just ignored by Cao Yue and was so angry that he stood at the door and shouted, "Who did this? It's so wicked!"

"Look at how much damage has been done to Cao Yue's family. What a huge loss!"

"Cao Yue, don't take it to heart. As the saying goes, just think of it as a loss to avoid disaster."

Liu Haizhong tried hard to look serious, but his grinning mouth still betrayed him.

Cao Yue glanced at Liu Haizhong who was gloating over other people's misfortune, and he almost clapped his hands in approval.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and suggested, "Uncle, what clues can we find standing outside?"

"In my opinion, we should go in and look carefully. Maybe the thief can leave some clues."

Yi Zhonghai asked Cao Yue: "Xiao Cao, how about I go in with you to take a look?"

“No one can enter.”

Cao Yue said coldly: "Leave professional matters to professionals. I decided to call the police and ask the police station to catch the thief."

"Can't call the police!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Cao Yue was going to call the police, his face changed drastically and he quickly spoke out to stop him.

Everyone looked suspicious when they saw Yi Zhonghai overreacting.

"It is best to resolve what happens in our hospital within the hospital and avoid creating unnecessary complications," Yi Zhonghai explained.

Cao Yue sneered and asked, "Uncle, you mean the thief is from our hospital? How can you be so sure? Do you know who the thief is?"
