Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960: 233: What goes around comes around!

After confirming that the person inside had entered a deep sleep, Liu Qinian and Jiu Wentang circled around to the front door, ready to pry it open.

Before prying the door, Jiu Wentang pulled out a pair of thin gloves from his pocket and put them on.

Doors like this can only stop a gentleman, not a petty thief; thus, the two easily pried the door open.

"Creak—"

The ancient wooden door made a heavy sound.

Clearing the clouds to see the moon, the moonlight’s clear glow illuminated everything inside the house brightly.

Jiu Wentang, holding Liu Qinian with one hand and a flashlight with the other, headed towards the inner room, "Haoshan, be gentle."

"Mm." Liu Qinian nodded.

Zhao Shuyue’s bedroom was still locked, and Jiu Wentang took out his lock-picking tools and quickly pried the lock open.

The two of them walked into the bedroom together.

Zhao Shuyue was sleeping on the bed.

In order to prevent Zhao Shuyue from hiding the treasure map at home, the two of them flashed their flashlights around, tossing the place upside down.

This medicine was very effective; the noise they made while searching was loud, but Zhao Shuyue didn’t wake up.

"Haoshan," Jiu Wentang found an old dressing box in the corner, "look at this."

Although the dressing table was quite old, one could still see that it was made of fine golden nanmu wood, and the cover of the dressing box was locked with a small brass lock that had turned green with rust.

"This is a good item, let’s take it for now." Liu Qinian immediately recognized it as Zhao Shuyue’s bridal dowry.

As he spoke, Liu Qinian continued, "Let’s go look over there."

Since Zhao Shuyue wouldn’t wake up anytime soon, they could take their time searching.

If they could find the treasure map, they wouldn’t need to waste their energy taking Zhao Shuyue back.

...

Ni Yang woke up at exactly 12:20 AM, feeling a bit thirsty, she turned on the light and got out of bed for water.

Even though the day was very hot, the night wasn’t hot at all; a cool breeze was blowing in from the outside, making one feel refreshed.

Ni Yang drank water while looking out the window.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight; everywhere was draped in silvery white, as if the earth had been covered with a hazy veil.

Although Zhao Shuyue kept a hateful and exceedingly ugly fat cat at home, Duoduo still liked Zhao Shuyue very much.

Because Zhao Shuyue often fed it a lot of delicious food!

Seeing the bad guys about to take Zhao Shuyue away, Duoduo was so anxious it could break its wings, flying with all its might towards the small courtyard of the Ni Family!

"Yangyang!"

The moment Duoduo flew in, Ni Yang heard it, and she quickly switched on the desk lamp, "What’s wrong, Duoduo?"

Normally, Duoduo wouldn’t disturb her in the dead of night.

Unless something had happened!

"Thieves! Thieves!" Duoduo flapped its wings vigorously, "Granny Liu! Thieves!"

Ni Yang’s brow twitched, and she took a jacket out of the closet, putting it on as she walked, "I’m going over to Granny Zhao’s house now, and you go down to call my parents! After calling my dad and mom, go and shout around the village!"

Ni Yang had a hunch that this ’thief’ was different from the ordinary ’thief’.

If the whole village was alerted, everyone would be witnesses, and the situation would be easier to handle. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

Duoduo immediately flew downstairs, "Thieves! Catch the thieves!"

Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui weren’t as sensitive as Ni Yang; it took several shouts from Duoduo to awaken the couple.
