Chapter 86: Robbery in the Middle of the Night

Realizing this, Wang You subconsciously stepped back.

"Don't move!"

When the cold blade touched his skin, Wang You was so frightened that his whole body froze and he dared not breathe.

The man emerged from the darkness and loosened his grip when he saw it was still a child.

"Don't worry, I'm just resting here for one night and will leave early tomorrow morning. If you don't want to get hurt, just be obedient." The man threatened in a hoarse voice.

Wang You nodded, his young face tense.

Seeing that he was so sensible, the man put away the dagger and was about to stagger back into the darkness when he was suddenly kicked from the back.

The kick was so fast and hard that the man had almost no chance to react.

Immediately afterwards, another fist came, but this time Wang You was not so lucky. Not only did he fail to hit the opponent, but he was grabbed by the arm and thrown to the ground with a bang.

"You little bastard, you're so cruel." The man rubbed his lower back and stepped on Wang You, who had just stood up, back to the ground.

“Woof! Woof woof woof!”

Two yellow dogs stood at the door, baring their teeth and growling, but they did not dare to rush in.

"Looks like we can't stay here any longer." The man said helplessly. Noticing that his opponent was still struggling, he kicked him in the shoulder.

Wang You groaned and collapsed powerlessly.

Just as the man was about to escape, something suddenly attacked him from the darkness.

The man's eyes dimmed and he quickly ducked to avoid it, while quickly climbing up the wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liang Dingfang chased into the warehouse and saw Wang You lying on the ground, so he had to give up.

Meanwhile, in the hall.

The third grandmother collected the dishes and Liang Jinyu took Juan'er to the backyard.

Juan'er walked in front like a little sparrow, and kept telling Liang Jinyu about the interesting things that happened during her daily reading.

Liang Jinyu listened carefully and responded from time to time.

The bamboo forest beside them rustled, and the lights from the corridor stretched the two people's shadows out.

Juan'er gestured with her hands and feet, "And what's more, Mr. Yao praised my handwriting and said my brother's handwriting was ugly!"

"I listened to my aunt and studied hard in class. But my brother didn't listen. He always dozed off and even drooled on his book today. Mr. Yao was very angry and hit him hard on the palm with a ruler."

Juan'er said a lot of things, but found that no one responded. She felt strange and wanted to turn back, but she heard a shout.

"Don't look back!"

Liang Jinyu stood far away at the corner, motionless: "Don't look back, go back to the yard."

Juan'er was startled and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Auntie? Why can't you turn back?"

"I just thought of a fun game. As long as you can run all the way back to your room without looking back, I will take you shopping for new clothes tomorrow."

Juan'er was instantly excited: "Really? Why haven't I heard of this game?"

"Auntie just found out about this, too. Be obedient and run back to the yard quickly."

"Okay!" Juan'er responded loudly, and then ran to her own courtyard without looking back.

Seeing Juan'er disappear into the night, Liang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "What do you want?"

The man held the dagger in his hand and walked out from behind Liang Jinyu.

"It's simple. Find a place for me to hide for one night, and I will leave tomorrow." The man threatened, with the dagger approaching Liang Jinyu's neck.

Liang Jinyu remembered the barking of the dog and asked hurriedly, "Where is Wang You? What did you do to him?"

"Wang You?" The man thought for a moment and said, "You mean that kid? Don't worry, I don't have a habit of killing innocent people."

At this time, Liang Dingfang's voice came from a distance.

The man pushed Liang Jinyu and urged her in a low voice: "Hurry up and leave. If you dare to play tricks on me, don't blame me for killing you and silencing you!"

Liang Jinyu's pupils tightened, and she grabbed the clothes on her side and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

Now the house has been mostly demolished, and there are only a few courtyards that can be lived in. Liang Jinyu can only bring the man back to her main courtyard.

"If my brother can't see me, he will definitely be suspicious and might even bring the dog over," said Liang Jinyu.

She couldn't figure out the man's intentions, and she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of her family, so she could only stabilize him first.

"So what do you want?" the man asked cautiously.

There was no light in the room, and it was pitch dark.

Although Liang Jinyu couldn't see the man's face clearly, she could sense that he didn't have any murderous aura.

"Go into the room first, turn on the light, and hide behind the bed."

The man was silent for a moment and put away the dagger.

Liang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the oppressive feeling behind her finally dissipated.

At the same time, Liang Dingfang's footsteps were heard outside.

"Sister? Sister, are you in there?" Liang Dingfang knocked on the door and shouted.

Liang Jinyu lit the candles on the table, her figure reflected on the window: "I just came back home, what happened?"

Liang Dingfang was obviously relieved and responded, "There was a thief in the house. I just saw Wang You lying on the ground in the warehouse, and a dark figure climbed over the wall and escaped. By the way, did you see anything, sister?"

Liang Jinyu picked at the wick with a copper sheet and said in a steady voice, "I didn't see anything. How is Wang You?"

"He's fine, he just got knocked unconscious." Liang Dingfang said, looking at the figure on the window, "Sister, I have something to tell you, can you open the door first?"

Squeak——

The door opened, and Liang Jinyu stood by the door and looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Liang Dingfang glanced around the room. There were no signs of a fight, nor were there any other people around.

"Sister, are you okay?" Liang Dingfang was still worried and looked at Liang Jinyu seriously and asked.

Liang Jinyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there is something I can still stand here and talk to you."

Liang Dingfang finally relaxed and frowned, saying, "I don't know who that person is. Could he be a fugitive that the government is trying to catch?"

Liang Jinyu yawned, "Why bother with so much? Since he didn't hurt Wang You, it means he doesn't want to cause trouble. He probably ran away a long time ago. It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'm sleepy too."

Liang Dingfang nodded, but before leaving he was still worried and said, "How about I bring Da Huang over here, so he can remind me if anything happens at night."

Liang Jinyu waved her hands sleepily, "No, there are often wild cats passing by my yard. If they see me, I won't be able to have a good night."

Liang Dingfang thought so too, turned around and said, "Then I'll leave."

Liang Jinyu yawned again and waited until Dingfang left the yard before closing the door.

The man crawled out from under the bed and was about to speak when Liang Jinyu made a gesture to him to keep quiet.

"Sister?" Liang Dingfang actually came back.

"What's wrong now?" Liang Jinyu asked wearily.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask what you would like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"It's all right. Listen to Grandma San."

"Um."

After a long time, there was no sound outside, and the two people in the room looked at each other.

Liang Jinyu walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water.

The cold tea went down her throat and she shivered.

"You clearly had the opportunity to talk to him just now, why didn't you do it?" the man walked over and asked.

Liang Jinyu turned to look at him. In the dim candlelight, she only saw that the man was tall, with a full beard and dark eyes. For some reason, she felt that he looked familiar.

"Didn't you say that? If I do that, I'll be dead."
