The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

After the Double Ninth Festival, it was time to harvest the corn in the fields. After all, Mrs. You settled in the countryside, and even if the old lady was reluctant to leave her grandchildren, they still had to go back to live there.

It has been a busy farming season these past two days, and Mrs. You has collected many bags of corn from tenants whose crops matured early, and piled them in the front yard.

All the rent from each family had to be recorded in a book. During the busy farming season, Mrs. You was busy for days on end, dealing with the rent and checking the bills with the managers of the shops in the county town.

That night, when Mrs. You was taking Xiao Cui and Aunt Xue to weigh and count the items in the front yard, a figure flashed stealthily outside the wall of the house.

After digging open the dog hole and pulling out the bricks and stones that had been pried open with great effort a few days ago, the dog hole became a little bigger and could accommodate one person through.

Shi Ping limped on the ground and crawled inside using his arms.

He had a damaged eye, and couldn't see clearly in the dark, and bumped his head a lot. After barely crawling out of the dog hole, he wiped the dust off his hands on his trouser legs, spat, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, he finally got in!"

Muttering to himself, Shi Ping hunched over as he walked through a vegetable patch and into the yard.

Although the You family lived in the countryside, they had many rules and regulations, including so many bodyguards that he had no idea where to start a few days ago and was even beaten twice for no reason.

After observing around the yard for a long time, I finally found a dog hole. I fiddled with it secretly for a long time and finally sneaked in without alerting the guards. It was really not easy!

Shi Ping opened one eye, alertly looking around, carefully identifying his direction, and constantly looking around.

I reached out and touched my other eye. Although it was already scabbed over, it still stung.

"Damn it! You stupid idiot! Damn it!" Thinking of his blind left eye, Shi Ping kept cursing and kicked the stones at his feet away because they hurt his feet.

"Boom!"

With a clear sound, the stone happened to hit an empty vat.

Shi Ping quickly covered his figure, fortunately the noise did not attract anything.

He had heard from Yue Niang before that the woman of the You family had a lot of silver and money, but he didn't know where the silver was hidden. He wanted to steal some to spend, but unfortunately, it took a lot of energy just to find a way to get into the yard.

He gets angry whenever he mentions the bitch Yue Niang. She has become rich and ran to the county town to become a wealthy concubine, but she even dared not see him!

Are you really not afraid that he will expose what happened before?

But Shi Ping knew in his heart that Yue Niang had climbed up the ladder now, and killing him would be as easy as killing a louse. He could not easily move against her.

He cursed the bitch for being heartless in his heart, knowing that he had important things to do now, so let’s not talk about Yue Niang’s matter for now!

I heard from people in the village that the wife of the You family took the idiot and the servants to the county town, and they probably haven't returned yet.

Even if we can't find where the silver is hidden, there must be a lot of valuable items in this house!

Shi Ping rubbed his hands and sneaked towards the main house.

"Xue He, I'm thirsty!"

As soon as he closed the door of the main house, the voice of the silly young master came from the yard. Shi Ping's heart was pounding, fearing that he would be discovered.

It sounded to him like the whole family had returned!

How to do?

Even at the risk of being discovered, Shi Ping did not forget to look for valuables. He rummaged through Mrs. You's dressing table, but only found a few silk ribbons and hairbands.

Silver! Banknotes! Gold, silver and jewelry! Where are they?

The footsteps in the yard became louder and louder. Shi Ping's search became more intense and he hid on the other side of the house.

"Squeak~" The door was opened, and in the dim light, Shi Ping saw the silly young master walk in.

He shrank back, stared at the silly young master's back as he drank water, and took out a dagger from his sleeve.

He wanted to avenge his left eye, but he was worried that if he made a sound, it would attract other people and then the result would be more trouble than gain.

Shi Ping backed away slowly, his back against the wall. When he turned around, he saw an open window.

He lowered his movements, not daring to disturb the silly young master, and quietly climbed out of the window.

After climbing over the main house, it was not the outside world, but the third courtyard at the deepest part of the courtyard, with high walls on both sides and a row of houses at the back.

Shi Ping looked at them one by one, and they were all locked!

Just at this moment, the lights in the main house were turned on, and the light came through the window and almost hit Shi Ping.

He became even more nervous.

I looked around but couldn't find a way out. The largest courtyard was brightly lit with oil lamps. I could see everything as soon as I went out. There was no place to hide!

At this point it was no longer a question of whether he could find the silver. He was more worried that he would not be able to get out. If he was discovered by the You family, it would be terrible!

Hiding in the dark, watching the people walking back and forth in the yard, Shi Ping became even more anxious, fearing that those people would come to his hiding place.

Looking at the candle flame enclosed by the lampshade, Shi Ping thought of a solution quickly.

If, if there was a fire in the backyard and everyone was busy trying to put it out in a panic, they would... not notice him.

He just needed to cross the yard in front of the main house, walk towards the vegetable garden, and then go out through the dog hole, and everything would be fine!

Feeling more and more that his idea was feasible, Shi Ping looked around and saw some straw piled in the corner for making nests for chickens and ducks.

While the guard's back was turned, Shi Ping quickly ignited a straw, placed the spark on the entire pile of hay, and blew out the smoke.

"puff!"

With a slight sound, the flames ignited, illuminating Shi Ping's nervous and sweaty face.

"What are you doing?"
