Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he felt that this was a good idea.
“When the time comes, let’s go to another stone house on the mountain. Don’t go to the valley! The valley is our last resort. Don’t tell anyone, let alone bring anyone there!” Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded her. “You have another stone house on the mountain?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Naturally, I have to prepare a few places as backup! Besides, if I build a few more stone houses, I can find a safe place to rest at any time after when hunting in the mountains. Otherwise, you won’t be easy for you to sleep peacefully in the mountains!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran thought about it. There were indeed dangers everywhere in the deep mountains.
Without the stone house, who knew how much danger they would encounter in the night? No wonder Luo Cheng built stone houses everywhere.
“Alright, let’s go back and stay in the stone house first. Then, we’ll change our appearance and go back to take a look! ” Li Xiaoran said.
After discussing the matter, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran felt more relaxed.
In the middle of the night, Li Xiaoran woke up to use the restroom. When she got up, she suddenly felt someone on the roof outside.
Althouqh the other party had carefullv hidden his traces and even lowered his breathing to the minimum, unfortunately, his uneasiness exposed his whereabouts to Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran pretended not to notice. After using the restroom, she washed her hands.
This time, her movements were a little loud, so she woke Luo Cheng up.
“Wife, what are you doing?”
“It’s fine. I just used the bathroom!” Li Xiaoran said as she gave Luo Cheng a look and pointed at the person’s hiding place.
Luo Cheng immediately understood Li Xiaoran’s abnormality and stood up.
“I want to pee too!”
With that, Luo Cheng walked towards the bathroom.
As he walked, Luo Cheng took something out of his pocket. Then, under the cover of the sound of urine, he lit something that looked like incense.
After that, Luo Cheng came over after peeing and washed his hands.
The incense stick that had been lit was stuck in the gap in the wooden board.
After that, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng laid down together.
“Wife, sleep!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran nodded and pretended to pull over the blanket before lying down.
At this moment, there was only the sound of the wind outside. After that, there was no more movement.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran waited quietly.
After an unknown period of time, a soft sound suddenly came from the roof, as if something had landed on the tiles.
When Luo Cheng heard this sound, he gestured for Li Xiaoran to stop moving. Then, he climbed up quietly and jumped from the window to the roof. Before long, Luo Cheng jumped in through the window with a man in black and a wooden box.
Seeing that Luo Cheng wasn’t in danger, Li Xiaoran quickly got up.
“Don’t light the fire. Don’t let anyone else notice anything unusual!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran immediately understood, so she continued to sit on the bed and didn’t get up again.
After Luo Cheng came in, he placed the unconscious man on the ground gently and searched carefully under the moonlight.
However, even after searching for a long time, he didn’t find anything on this person.
Disappointed, Luo Cheng looked at the wooden box.
The wooden box was locked with a Luban lock. Ordinary people couldn’t open it.
Therefore, even after Luo Cheng studied it, he couldn’t open the wooden box.
No matter how he thought about it, Luo Cheng couldn’t figure it out, so he simply hid the man in black under the bed, then threw the wooden box into his bag and lay back on the bed to sleep.
“Go to sleep! When you wake up tomorrow morning, you might understand what this person’s job is!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran nodded and lay down with Luo Cheng.
Perhaps it was because it was late at night, but after Li Xiaoran yawned, she fell asleep soon after.
The next day, the rooster crowed in the inn and woke Li Xiaoran up.
When she sat up, she saw that Luo Cheng was already up.
“Husband, why are you up so early?”
“There are some things I couldn’t figure out and after waking up early, I couldn’t fall asleep again! ” Luo Cheng replied when he saw that Li Xiaoran had woken up.
Li Xiaoran thought of what had happened last night, so she asked, “When will that person wake up?”
“He won’t wake up until I give him the antidote,” Luo Cheng said. “Then aren’t you going to ask?” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and asked.
“Yes, but not now. It’s not convenient here!” Luo Cheng shook his head and said.
Li Xiaoran nodded, but didn’t say anything else.
Soon, after Li Xiaoran washed up, the waiter sent the breakfast in.
Li Xiaoran was eating breakfast while pondering over something when she suddenly heard Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue talking next door.
“Hey, didn’t Wu Qinghe say that he knows many skills that we don’t know?
Perhaps he knows how to pick locks?”
These words immediately reminded Luo Cheng, so he called Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue in.
After the two of them came in and saw that there was breakfast, they sat down and ate.
Luo Cheng didn’t speak. He ate breakfast quietly first and planned to talk about the matter after everyone was full.
Luo Cheng also asked the waiter to send some breakfast to Li Xia and her son. At the same time, he asked the waiter to come and look for them at the end of the day.
After arranging everything, Luo Cheng locked the door. Then, he went to the window to take a look and closed it.
Luo Cheng’s unusual actions attracted the attention of Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue. After spending some time together, the two of them knew what kind of person Luo Cheng was.
At this moment, the door and windows were closed, so he must have something important to say.
As expected, when Luo Cheng took out the man in black and the wooden box under the bed, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were stunned.
After hearing Luo Cheng tell them what had happened last night, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue’s expressions became very strange.
“Why do I feel that something is fishy? Wherever we go, trouble follows us. Wu
Qinghe, did you implicate us?” Shu Ruyue turned around and asked Wu Qinghe.
It couldn’t be helped. The experience along the way made Shu Ruyue feel that something was fishy.. She suspected that Wu Qinghe had brought them bad luck!
