There was a girl named Wang Danniu in the next village. Her father died and her mother remarried, but no one cared or asked about her.

The stepfather didn't like the girl's laziness and idleness, and she spent all day going from one house to another to eat and drink for free.

A girl in her twenties couldn't find a husband and had to rely on cheating her family out of money to make a living.

That day, the news that the Wu family in Xiaofeng Village was rich somehow reached her ears.

Wang Danniu was so short of money that she had to beg for help from everyone.

She had nothing to do on weekdays, so she didn't tend to the crops or go out to earn money. Instead, she fell in love with a handsome widow in town.

The girl was so infatuated with the handsome widow that she no longer knew what the world was. Her mind was only filled with thoughts of having fun with the widow and she even had the idea of ​​marrying him.

The widower's wife passed away early, leaving him with a son and a daughter. He was driven out by his cruel wife's family, who kept his daughter but not his son or him.

There was no reason for a married woman to return home, so he rented a small courtyard in the town to settle down.

He relied on finding lovers to support his son and himself, and Wang Danniu was one of his lovers.

She mentioned the idea of ​​marrying a widower while they were having a good time in bed.

After the fighting died down, the widow put her arms around Wang Danniu, but did not say no.

She just told him that he had a boy to raise at home and that he could marry her. If she gave him fifty taels of silver as a guarantee, he would consider marrying her and living with her.

Wang Danniu usually plays with cats and dogs. She doesn't do any serious work and has only a few dollars on her.

Fifty taels of silver was enough for an ordinary person to live on for more than ten years. Wang Danniu didn't feel that her lover was just being perfunctory with her.

After hearing the words, his mind was full of thoughts about making money. As soon as he had the idea, news came from the other side.

Wang Danniu rubbed her hands excitedly when the cover suddenly lit up. She stood up and spat out the grass root in her mouth.

She stared at the direction of Xiaofeng Village eagerly, thinking about doing something big with a surging emotion.

Farmers turn off the lights early to save fuel, and the Wu family does the same.

As soon as it got dark, the entire Xiaofeng Village fell into the silence of the night.

Towards midnight, the sound of dogs barking could be heard from the village from time to time. The villagers who had gone to bed early did not open their eyes, muttered a few words, turned over and fell asleep.

Wu Yuer went to bed early, and after a nap, the person on the bed opened his eyes in a daze.

The cold white moonlight was shining through the window at the end of the bed. I bent my neck and glanced towards the window.

She hugged the quilt tightly and was about to lie down again, but her sleepy eyes suddenly woke up, widened, and frowned.

She listened to the rustling sounds outside the window, sporadic, as if... as if someone was climbing over the wall of her house to get in.

Without having time to think, the girl, who was jumping on the bed lightly, took advantage of the moonlight to pick up the bamboo pole behind the door.

The slight noise in the yard was getting closer and closer. The door of the Wu family's main room was ajar and not bolted. I pushed the door gently and it creaked open.

The thief sneaked in in the dark. She had already found out that the girl from the Wu family's house was on the east side, and there must be silver and money hidden there.

To put it another way, even if there is not much silver, there are still a lot of valuable items.

Wang Danniu's predictions were accurate, and Li Lansheng, who was the most stubborn, treated his wife as well as he could.

If you take any of the gold, silver, and jade on the dressing table and pawn it, it will definitely be worth more than fifty taels of silver.

The thief deliberately walked lightly and came to the east wing. She leaned close to the wooden door and eavesdropped on the noise inside.

The people in the room seemed to be in a deep sleep. Reassured, Wang Danniu gently pushed open the closed door and went in under the cover of night.

"I'll fight!"

Wu Yuer, who had been waiting behind the door, picked up a bamboo pole and swung it down hard while calling for help outside.

"There's a thief, there ... breaking into the door, come and catch the thief!"

The shouting immediately woke up the entire Wu family. The three brothers of the Wu family picked up hoes and weighed kitchen knives.

In a short while, the thief was caught, his hands and feet were tied with ropes, and everything was over.

The nearby neighbors included Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu who lived just across the wall. When Wu's father went to open the door, a lot of people rushed in, holding sticks and sickles.

"Where is the thief? Where is the thief?"

"Damn it, little thief, don't run away. You're so brave that you dare to come to Xiaofeng Village to steal. I'll kill you."

There were many other angry curses, and at this time, the thief had been taken to the main hall by the Wu family.

The oil lamp was lit, and many villagers who rushed over after hearing the news squinted their eyes and saw that this was Wang Danniu from the next village.

The two villages are close to each other and people often meet on the way to the town. When they saw that it was her, the people in Xiaofeng Village were angry.

"Wang Da Niu, Wang Da Niu, I didn't expect it to be you. You came to our Xiaofeng Village to steal. You, you want me to say it."

"Whatever you say, wait for the village chief to come and hand him over to the authorities."

When she heard that she was being sent to the government office, Wang Danniu was so frightened that she stopped pretending to be dead. She quickly raised her head and begged, saying that she was possessed by a ghost and would never do it again.

The Wu family was not willing to agree. Wu Yuer came out of the room and heard Wang Danniu's pleading.

The lady's complexion was pale, not really good.

There was a lot of noise around her, so she quickly stepped forward and pushed the crowd aside. The people in the main room then saw the girl with a cold expression and their eyes widened.

At night, the light was from an oil lamp with a small candle.

Everyone in the room was covered with an invisible veil, and their faces were dark and gloomy, making it difficult to see clearly.

But the girl who was hurriedly approaching in a thin shirt shone as brightly as the moon outside the eaves, pure and clear, with a dreamy beauty like that of a fairy or a god.

Everyone's eyes were fixed in amazement and fascination on her beautiful and misty profile, which was outlined by the spreading bright red branches, which was extremely gorgeous.

Since the day she took off the mask, everyone in the Wu family has been comforting Wu Yuer.

It’s okay to wear a mask when you go out, why bother with it at home.

Wu Yuer has been wearing a mask for many years and she doesn't like the heavy feeling on her face.

So the girl was lazy at home and appeared outside all day long. When something happened at night, the girl didn't even have time to put on her mask and came out directly.
