Chapter 559: A Frightened Bird
Seeing that Qin Yao just smiled and didn't say anything, Zhen Yubai couldn't figure out what she meant, so he asked tentatively:
"What do you think of starting classes later this month, Village Chief?"
"It's getting colder and colder. If the school starts now, we need to prepare more charcoal to prevent the children from getting sick from the cold."
"I have also been around the village these days. The situation of each family in the village is much better than I thought. I think it will not be a problem for each family to give a few ounces of charcoal for the children to go to school. However, this matter still needs the approval of the village chief."
Qin Yao could tell that Zhen Yubai had thought it over seriously before coming to see her.
The charcoal fire is no problem. Qin Yao smiled and nodded, "Master, you are thoughtful. Don't worry about the charcoal fire. Families will not be stingy with this little charcoal for their children's schooling."
"As for the class starting in the second half of the month, as long as you are sure that you have fully recovered, I will go back and inform the villagers. The children will definitely be very happy."
Zhen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief, put down his teacup, stood up and clasped his fists: "That's settled, thank you for your concern, Village Chief."
"And thank you, village chief, for saving my life!" He bowed solemnly to Qin Yao, paused for a moment, and then stood up.
Qin Yao politely helped him up, and Zhen Yubai smiled gratefully, saying that next time Qin Yao had anything to tell him, he could just let her know, and then he left.
Qin Yao sent him to the river bank and watched him enter the village before returning.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, a man with a resentful look suddenly appeared in front of her, and Qin Yao almost punched him away.
"Liu Ji, what are you doing!" Qin Yao's fist swept past Liu Ji's cheek. When she pulled back, she couldn't help but slap him on the back of his head. "Who are you trying to scare by keeping silent?"
Liu Ji didn't care what she said at all. He just covered his head and stood on tiptoe to look forward.
Unfortunately, the person had already gone far away, and he could only see a little light from the torch. He sneered, "Master, you don't know any rules at all, and you come to someone's house in the middle of the night!"
Qin Yao looked at him speechlessly and strode forward.
Liu Ji followed her closely, sniffing her up and down like a dog staring at meat, which made Qin Yao so angry that she turned around and kicked him, "You are mentally ill, right? Have you finished the album?"
Liu Ji failed to dodge the solid kick and fell on his butt. He quickly got up and smiled wickedly, "Don't worry, my lady, there's no need to waste any time. I heard Master Zhen's movements and wanted to come out to see if he was hiding any secrets."
Qin Yao sneered and asked, "So you figured it out?"
"No." Liu Ji was very confident even though he was not justified!
Qin Yao: “.”
Perhaps he realized that her anger bar was almost full, as soon as he entered the house, Liu Ji immediately ran back to the study and continued his unfinished painting work.
Little did he know that as soon as he returned to the house, Qin Yao climbed over the wall, hid in the night, and came to the village middle school.
Liu Saner was right. This Zhen Yubai was indeed a little bit strange.
Zhen Yubai had just returned to the school residence. He lit the candlesticks in the room, extinguished the torches, then closed the doors and windows, moved the charcoal basin to the side of the table, spread out paper and pen, sat down at the table, and began to write his course schedule.
Qin Yao wrapped her collar tightly and squatted under the window for half an hour. Only then did he put down his pen and looked like he was going to bed to rest.
Is there nothing wrong with Zhen Yubai?
Was she influenced by Liu Laosan's weird words and overthinking it?
He squatted there for nearly half an hour, but there was no movement in the room, as if he had fallen asleep.
Qin Yao's eyelids felt a little heavy and she yawned silently. She wanted to call it a day, but she was unwilling to do so.
At this hour, all the candles in the village had been extinguished and the chickens had started to clap. When Qin Yao was about to leave, there was a rustling noise suddenly coming from inside the house.
Qin Yao was about to stand up when she stopped and retreated to the back of the house with her back hunched.
After a while, the sound of the door opening was heard, and a lantern came out first, followed by a pair of thick-soled black cloth shoes.
The pair of feet actually walked directly towards Qin Yao.
Qin Yao jumped into the air, grabbed the eaves and climbed onto the roof.
Zhen Yubai, dressed in black, appeared under her eyes. He held a lantern and shone the entire front and back of the house. He stayed for a while at the place where she had been.
Qin Yao didn't dare to reveal any breath, but she was extremely excited in her heart. Her suspicion was correct. Zhen Yubai could actually sense that someone was secretly monitoring him.
Qin Yao was extremely grateful at this moment that she did not leave too many traces, and she was patient long enough, so long that Zhen Yubai thought she had left.
Zhen Yubai in black checked the entire exterior of the house, frowned slightly, and suddenly picked up the lantern to shine upwards.
He didn't see anything unusual, just rows of green tiles, but he was still worried and asked tentatively: "Come out!"
“.”
What responded to Zhen Yubai was the howling cold wind in the night.
After a long while, he let out a sigh and muttered in a low voice: "Who would come to this small mountain village? It's a bit frightened."
He blew out the lantern, closed the door, and walked step by step towards the house deep in the village.
He walked quite fast, but no sound of footsteps could be heard, and even his breathing was hidden in the howling night wind.
If Qin Yao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would not have noticed his existence at all.
It's amazing. His aura is obviously the same as that of an ordinary person, yet he could overturn and fall into a ditch. It's obvious that he doesn't know martial arts. Then how did he develop such great skills of concealment and anti-reconnaissance?
Seeing Zhen Yubai stop under the outer wall of the Lotus Courtyard, Qin Yao, who was far behind him, also hurriedly stopped.
This was the first time in all the time she had been in this world that she had hidden herself so seriously.
What was strange was that Qin Yao's brain was extremely excited. Tonight she felt the long-lost tension and excitement again.
Zhen Yubai in black stopped for a while under the lotus courtyard, then suddenly flew up as lightly as a wild goose and entered the lotus courtyard.
Shitou and other guards were unaware of anything. Qin Yao thought of Qi Xianguan and Gong Liangliao inside, took a deep breath, and then climbed over the courtyard wall.
She leaned over the wall and saw with her own eyes that Zhen Yubai bypassed the night patrol Agu and entered Gong Liangliao's house unhindered.
The moment Zhen Yubai entered the room, Agu suddenly shook all over, leaned against the stone pillar in the corridor, and quickly fell down.
A hand reached out from the door, supported Agu's head, and slowly placed him on the ground.
Qin Yao used her hands as a fan and fanned her nose. A very faint fragrance drifted into her nose. She inhaled a little bit, and immediately her brain went blank for a brief moment.
Zhen Yubai also knows how to use drugs!
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Qin Yao looked at Agu who had fallen asleep on the ground and was a little worried about the old man's safety. She jumped into the yard and was about to push the door open to catch Zhen Yubai. Just as her palm touched the door, she suddenly heard a "thump" sound from inside the room.
Zhen Yubai's respectful voice came from inside, "If I have offended you, please forgive me, sir."
Qin Yao paused after pushing the door, then without any hesitation, stepped aside and leaned against the wall to listen.
