Chapter 23 Zhao Chengyan, you beast, where did you put the things?

Gu Wanxing leaned against the door, listening carefully to the noise outside.

After making sure that she didn't hear any movement, she gently opened the bedroom door a crack and reached out.

He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, he dispersed the Ma Fei San. Then he waited quietly for the medicine to take effect.

She didn't know if the medication would work immediately.

But when she held her breath and listened attentively to the noise outside, she found that the night was terribly quiet. The chirping of insects and frogs that she could hear before had all disappeared.

The only sounds were her slightly rapid breathing and her heartbeat that kept hitting her eardrums.

It felt as if she was the only one left in the world.

Gu Wanxing swallowed, thought carefully about the effects of the medicine, and finally felt relieved.

She was really afraid of killing people with the drug, which would be a real sin. After all, the drug was effective within a hundred meters, and there were neighbors nearby!

She pushed the door open and tiptoed to the east bedroom opposite. She found that the door was not closed at all. At a glance, she saw the obvious bulge on the kang. Who else could it be but Zhao Chengyan?

After getting closer and hearing his long and shallow breathing, Gu Wanxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about what she was going to do next, she was still a little nervous. After all, it was her first time doing something 'bad'.

But whenever she thought about her past life, the tension and anxiety in her heart were replaced by excitement and anticipation.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the patinated basket hanging from the beam.

All of Liu Xifeng's valuables were stored in there. Once, when Zhao Chao wanted to eat a piece of furnace fruit, she took one from there.

As a result, Liu Xifeng slapped him twice and said that some money was missing.

In fact, she didn't really see any money inside because it was high enough that she had to raise her hand to reach inside even though she was standing on a stool.

She always thought that it was filled with snacks like peach biscuits, and she never thought there was money inside.

Then don't blame her for being cruel this time.

Gu Wanxing curled the corners of his lips slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his bright black eyes in the darkness.

Without further hesitation, he moved the chair under the wall and stepped on it neatly.

As a result, she searched the entire small basket, but found no money except some peach cakes and two gold rings wrapped in red cloth.

Gu Wanxing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Chengyan lying on the kang.

Could it be that he had already taken it away?

Or maybe Liu Xifeng took the money when she left? She thought this was unlikely.

Thinking of this, she didn't bother to think too much and went straight to the end of the kang and picked up the clothes that Zhao Chengyan had taken off.

After a quick search, he finally pulled out a stack of 100-yuan bills from the top pocket of his work jacket. (The 100-yuan note was first issued on May 10, 1988, but it was actually the 1980 edition of the fourth series of RMB.)

Gu Wanxing put it into the space without hesitation.

She was even so mean as to collect the work clothes in her hands, the bedding piled on the kang, the kangqin, the two cabinets under the kang that were smashed by Zhao Chengyan, and the chair that had been stepped on. She did not spare any of them.

Finally, there are two long benches at the foot of the wall.

Now, in the whole house, apart from some useless little things on the windowsill, there was only a naked person lying alone on the kang.

Afterwards, Gu Wanxing moved to the living room and put all the dining table, stools, pots and pans in the bowl rack, and the jars of meat oil and sesame oil on the kitchen windowsill into the space.

In Zhao Chengfang's small room, she also took away the single bed and the small wooden box under the bed.

She also took away most of the grain in the granary in the west room, and confiscated the bicycle. She still needed to ride the bicycle, and if both bicycles were taken away, it would be difficult to take them out.

Nowadays, bicycles have license plates just like cars.

If she only took away Zhao Chengyan's bicycle, it would definitely alert Zhao Chengyan and make him want to take away her bike, so she simply confiscated all of them.

All the tools used for household chores, including shovels, hoes, and plows, were used.

She originally wanted to destroy all the vegetables that had just sprouted in the backyard, but after thinking it over carefully, she decided not to do anything too drastic, otherwise God would not be able to tolerate it.

Finally, there was her bedroom.

The double bed was left behind, and she collected all the scraps from under the bed. She also pulled down the cabinets, dressing tables, and even the curtains in the room.

All that was left on the bed was a mattress and a quilt that she didn't want anymore.

After everything was done, Gu Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief and entered the space.

Looking at the pile of junk on the grass, it seemed so out of place there, but when she thought about the difficult life that the mother and son would have in the future, she felt it was pretty good.

Gu Wanxing slept in the space. She had already re-made the bed. She was reluctant to use her predecessors' things.

So she collected them all.

A dreamless night.

——

The next morning, Gu Wanxing woke up to Zhao Chengyan's hoarse screams.

The space is great, I can even hear the sounds outside.

So she immediately left the space.

When Zhao Chengyan kicked open the bedroom door and came in, he saw Gu Wanxing sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes.

"Gu Wanxing—what on earth happened?"

There was a hint of tears in Zhao Chengyan's voice. Looking at the empty bedroom, his eyes were filled with panic that he could not hide. He asked loudly.

Gu Wanxing looked at Zhao Chengyan in confusion, and then pretended to exclaim: "What's going on? Zhao Chengyan, are you going to die? Where did you put all your things?"

She covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief and a hurt expression, which once again shocked the man at the door.

Zhao Chengyan's pupils trembled and he swallowed hard, "It wasn't me. It really wasn't me. I just took a nap and woke up like this."

"You still say it wasn't you, you must have sold all the things and given the money to Gu Yuerou."

Gu Wanxing's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his eyes almost materialized.

When Zhao Chengyan saw Gu Wanxing like this, the doubts in his heart gradually dispelled.

He thought Gu Wanxing had teamed up with her family to move her things away overnight.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible, because no matter how he moved it, there would be noise. But he was in a very irritable mood when he went to bed last night and did not sleep very soundly, otherwise he would not have woken up early in the morning when the rooster crowed.

"Zhao Chengyan, you beast, where did you put all those things? Did you sell them? Go find them for me right now. Apart from anything else, I bought that high and low cabinet with my own money. How dare you do that to me?"

Gu Wanxing was barefoot and wearing a pair of pink flowered autumn trousers. She rushed to Zhao Chengyan in anger and slapped him in the face before he could react.

Snap——

The air was quiet.
