Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

At dawn the next day, the morning light shone through the thin clouds, softly and lazily in every corner of the courtyard. Xu Damao and Zhang San were dressed in plain and inconspicuous clothes, with an indescribable mystery on their faces. They tiptoed and carefully walked to the area around Zheng Niang's house, obviously intending to continue the "surveillance" that was not completed yesterday. At this moment, they were like two highly alert nocturnal wild cats, hunched forward, turning their heads from time to time, for fear that their whereabouts would be exposed to others.

At this moment, Yan Jie Di, the innocent, lively and lovely little girl in the third uncle's house, ran out of the house happily like a happy little bird, happily preparing to find a playmate to play with. However, fate always seems to be full of drama. This clever and intelligent little girl has a sharp eye like a falcon and instantly caught Xu Damao and Zhang San, who were behaving strangely and mysteriously. Driven by a strong curiosity in her heart, Yan Jie Di did not hesitate to quietly follow them, trying to uncover the secrets hidden behind these two men.

Seeing Xu Damao and Zhang San stopped a little away from Zheng's house and hid behind a thick and lush tree, sometimes sticking their heads out to look around, sometimes shrinking to hide their bodies, their behavior became more and more strange and suspicious. Yan Jie Di, who witnessed this scene, became more and more suspicious, and all kinds of speculations and questions kept circling in her mind. After careful consideration, she made up her mind to return to her own courtyard and report what she saw to her mother, the third aunt. Then, a burst of rapid and crisp footsteps sounded, and Yan Jie Di hurried back to the yard, her face full of uncontrollable excitement, and she ran straight to where her mother was in two steps. When she got close to her mother, Yan Jie Di couldn't wait to open her mouth and tell the third aunt all the details of what she had just witnessed.

In the spacious courtyard, the warm sunshine sprinkled on the ground like a veil, bringing warmth and tranquility to the entire courtyard. At this moment, the first aunt, the second aunt and the third aunt were sitting leisurely around a shabby but time-honored wooden table, basking in the warm sun while happily chatting about family matters.

Suddenly, a clear and loud voice broke the silence - it turned out that Yan Jiedi had spoken! When they heard what Yan Jiedi said, the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly became tense. The three aunts seemed to be under a spell, and they all widened their eyes at the same time, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"What? Shouldn't Xu Damao be showing movies in the countryside at this time? Why did he come here, and be so sneaky and secretive?" Auntie One asked suspiciously, her tightly furrowed brows seemed to express her inner confusion and puzzlement. At the same time, Auntie Two also shook her head vigorously, saying that she couldn't believe it: "Yes, it's really strange! Xu Damao seems to be a very honest person on weekdays, how could he do such a thing? Doesn't he even trust his own wife?"

However, unlike the first two aunties, the third auntie looked particularly solemn. She said worriedly: "Could some unexpected situation have happened? We must go over and take a look!" Before she finished speaking, the impatient auntie had already stood up and decided without hesitation to go and find out what was going on in person.

She tiptoed towards Zheng's house, taking every step carefully, fearing that the slightest noise would attract other people's attention. Finally, after some effort, the aunt successfully arrived at her destination. Standing not far from Zheng's house, she looked carefully and saw that, as Yan Jiedi had said, Xu Damao and Zhang San appeared before her.

At this moment, Xu Damao and Zhang San were like two frightened rabbits. They clung to the thick tree behind them, their bodies trembling slightly, their eyes revealing an indescribable fear and uneasiness. What made people feel even more weird was that they were looking at the window of Zheng Niang's house in a sneaky way, as if they were spying on some secret...

When the aunt saw the scene, she was shocked, as if a thunderclap had exploded in her heart. She did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried back, breathlessly telling the other two aunts everything she had just seen and heard. Her face was extremely serious, and she said in a firm tone: "Oh my! I really didn't expect that Jie Di was right! Guess what? Xu Damao and that guy named Zhang San are really hiding over there! I don't know what they are planning."

When the second and third aunts heard this, their expressions suddenly became heavy. They looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and uneasiness. Obviously, everyone had countless questions about Xu Damao's appearance here at this moment and his mysterious and sneaky behavior. What exactly does he want to do? Why did he choose to show up here at such a sensitive moment? And he also put on such a shameful appearance? All these questions shrouded everyone's hearts like a heavy fog, making the atmosphere more tense and depressing. However, the more this happened, the more the three aunts were determined to find out the truth of this matter and thoroughly uncover it.

At this moment, a light breeze blew quietly, rolling up a few fallen leaves, making a subtle and crisp rustling sound. This sound of the wind seemed to carry some kind of mysterious atmosphere, as if silently hinting at the secret that was about to be revealed.

The three aunts looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus, deciding to take action separately. They knew that this mission was of great importance, and they not only needed to closely monitor Xu Damao and Zhang San's every move, but also needed to act cautiously so as not to alert the other party.

The first to speak was the aunt, who made a firm suggestion: "In my opinion, it would be better for me to return home quietly and pretend that everything is normal, then take out some needlework and sit in the courtyard to do it. In this way, I can secretly monitor their movements without being too conspicuous."

Upon hearing this, the second aunt nodded in approval and added, "This is a great plan! Then I will go to the kitchen to make some preparations and brew a pot of fragrant tea. I will bring it to the yard later. We can then enjoy tea and chat leisurely while observing the development of the situation quietly. As for Jie Di..."

At this point, the second aunt turned her gaze to the third aunt beside her and continued, "As for you, find a suitable excuse to visit Zheng Niang's home and try to chat with her to see if you can get some useful information from her. After all, maybe Zheng Niang knows some of the inside story."

After that, the three aunts readily agreed and said they would go all out to complete the mission. The plan was finalized, and the three aunts immediately took action separately. The slightly fat aunt, holding a bamboo basket full of needles and thread in her hand, walked steadily to the center of the yard, and then slowly sat down. She seemed to be concentrating on mending clothes, as if she had ignored everything around her, but in fact, her sharp and keen eyes would glance at the hiding place of Xu Damao and Zhang San from time to time, not missing any slight movement.

At the same time, the dignified and quiet second aunt was also not idle. She gracefully brought out a few cups of steaming, fragrant tea from the house and walked lightly to the side of the first aunt. After the two smiled at each other, they began to chat casually, but their eyes never left the suspicious corner, always maintaining a high level of vigilance, like two well-trained sentinels.

The lively and playful Yan Jiedi was not to be outdone. She led a group of innocent friends to chase and play in the spacious yard, with laughter and joy. But behind this seemingly carefree game, she actually hid her cunning mind.

Whenever the children were having fun, Yan Jiedi would always cleverly guide them to pretend to approach the towering tree where Xu Damao and others were hiding, in an attempt to spy on more unknown secrets. The whole scene was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, but also a tense and exciting atmosphere.
