Chapter 272 The Most Dangerous Place is the Safest
The dark roof and thick beams should be able to hide anything you want on it.
Lin Mo took out a ladder from the space, put it in place carefully, and immediately climbed up.
Sure enough, traces were found on the thick beam.
Following the gap, Lin Mo removed the wooden board covering it.
A grid carved out of the beam was revealed.
Hidden in the grid was a small box that looked quite old.
This should contain what you want.
Lin Mo smiled secretly.
It never occurred to her that someone would hide something in the rafters.
It really proves the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest.
Beams, who would have thought someone would hide something on them?
If she hadn't suddenly had an idea and looked up at the roof, she probably wouldn't have noticed that there was something mysterious on the beam.
The wood used for the beams of this study is so large that one has to stretch out one's arms to hug it.
Most people would not use such large pieces of wood to make beams.
After all, not only is such a large piece of wood expensive, but it is also too heavy to be placed on top. If the foundation is not solid, it can easily cause the house to collapse.
Received it!
Lin Mo took the small box without any hesitation and put the wooden board away.
Then climb down the ladder.
When he landed, he heard some noise coming from outside the house. Lin Mo's figure flashed and he went straight into the space.
And just as she entered the space, the door of the study opened.
An old man walked in and looked around the study with a blank look.
Then he shook his head and closed the door, “I thought a thief had come in, but it turns out I heard it wrong.
Alas, I am old, useless, and hard of hearing.
The master is gone, I am afraid I don’t have many years left to live!”
Lin Mo in the space couldn't help laughing. She secretly said in her heart, you heard it right, I just hid fast enough.
Lin Mo drove the space and left the study the moment the door closed.
She originally wanted to leave like this, but when she thought of his other plan, she turned and walked in another direction.
…
When Lin Mo appeared, it was already bright.
In her hand, she was holding a bag of steaming buns, which she had taken from the palace earlier.
The space has a preservation function. It will remain the same as when you put it in, without any change.
She nibbled on the bun in her hand and walked slowly into the post station.
As soon as she appeared, everyone in the Xu family looked at her.
Liu Ying rushed over and asked, "Where have you been, kid? I was worried sick. Are you okay?"
As he spoke, he looked her up and down nervously.
"I just went to town to buy some buns for you guys." Lin Mo picked up the buns in her hand with an innocent look on her face.
"Didn't someone say they wanted to eat buns?
I woke up at dawn and couldn't fall asleep again, so I quietly went to buy some buns."
This was the reason she had thought of long ago.
And he also brought buns as a cover, so no one would suspect him.
Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "Even if you were going to buy buns, you should have told us so that we wouldn't worry about you.
Look at you, because you didn't say anything, no one knew you went out to buy buns, and they were worried that something might happen to you, so Wu Yan has already taken people out to look for you, which makes people worry. "
Lin Mo stuck out her tongue.
How dare she say that?
Whenever she said something, there would definitely be one, two, three, four, or five little tails following her.
Then how can she do anything?
"Sister-in-law, are you buying the buns for me?" Xu Mengxian's face was filled with excitement.
The hands hidden in the sleeves could not help but rub each other excitedly.
Very good.
My sister-in-law actually went out of her way to buy me some buns.
Woohoo, how can my sister-in-law be so nice?
move!
My sister-in-law is a very good person!
Lin Mo got goosebumps all over her body when Xu Mengxian stared at her. She must be imagining something again.
But she really needs her brain right now.
Without saying anything, Lin Mo stuffed the bun in her hand into Xu Mengxian's arms:
"Yes, I bought it for you. It's all for you. Eat it."
After saying that, Lin Mo immediately turned around and walked outside, "I'll go out to find them and ask them to come back quickly."
In the yard of the post station, Xu Mengxian was holding the bag of buns and smiling like a little fool.
These are the buns that her sister-in-law bought specially for her, and she can’t bear to eat them.
Three big words: Can’t bear to part with it!
She decided not to eat it and wanted to keep the buns as a souvenir.
Just as she made up her mind, the bun in her hand was taken away the next second.
Xu Mengxian widened her eyes.
Her buns...
The person who took the buns was Xu Xianyu. At this moment, she was opening the bag and reaching in to take the buns.
"Sister, don't move!" Xu Mengxian's voice was a little sharp.
So he successfully scared Xu Xianyu.
Xu Xianyu kept holding the buns, and looked at Xu Mengxian with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong?"
"You can't eat it." Xu Mengxian took the bun back:
"Sister, this is the bun my sister-in-law bought for me. She bought it specially for me. I can't bear to eat it. I plan to hide it as a souvenir. You don't have to eat it either."
At the end, there was a hint of boasting in Xu Mengxian's words.
The point is that this was bought specially for her by her sister-in-law.
When she saw her sister looking at her strangely, she quickly explained:
"This is the first time my sister-in-law bought something specifically for me, and I can't bear to eat it."
But the next second, Xu Xianyu took the bun away again:
“Steamed buns are for eating, not for hiding.
Can this thing be hidden?
If the weather is cold, it can be kept for a few more days. But if the weather is hot, it will go bad within three days and will be infested with maggots within five days.
If my sister-in-law knew you were wasting food like this, she would probably beat you!"
Xu Mengxian trembled when she heard this, and finally stammered:
"Can……"
"No buts." Xu Xianyu interrupted her directly. Seeing that she was staring at the buns reluctantly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"Forget it. I'll give you this oil-paper bag later. Keep it as a souvenir. When you see it, you'll think of the buns your sister-in-law brought you."
"Oh, yes, why didn't I think of that?" Xu Mengxian's eyes lit up.
Looking at her like that, Xu Xianyu was speechless. She actually took it seriously.
She shook her head and took out some buns to share with everyone, but he thought the buns were too small.
I don’t know if his sister-in-law was cheated. These buns are obviously much smaller than those bought from other people’s shops.
After dividing it, she took one out and took a bite. The next second, her eyes lit up. This bun was so delicious.
No wonder it's so small.
Not only is the skin thin and the fillings rich, it is also very juicy and the meat is very tender.
Liu Ying took a bite and fell in love with the bun.
She swallowed the last bite of the bun in her hand, savoring it with a look of aftertaste:
"I'll ask Momo where she bought these buns later. We can buy some more to eat. These buns are delicious."
Xu Xianyu nodded in agreement and took out another one and handed it to Liu Ying:
"Aunt Ying, also, if you like it, eat more."
Just as they were happily sharing the buns, Lin Mo also found Xu Wuyan and others.
The same excuse fooled Xu Wuyan. As for whether he believed it or not, Lin Mo didn't care. She just played the role of a rogue and refused to admit it.
Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
Seeing Xu Wuyan staring at her, Lin Mo reached out and pulled him:
"I'm okay, am I?
If you are unhappy, I will take you with me next time."
Xu Wuyan said with a stern face, "This is the Shangguan family's territory. If you act alone, I'm afraid something might happen to you. What should I do if something happens to you?"
She had no idea how panicked she was when she woke up and didn't see her.
If anything happens to her, I'm afraid I'll go crazy.
Looking at the panic that could not be hidden on Xu Wuyan's face, Lin Jiuyi suddenly felt a little guilty.
Has she never considered whether others might worry?
If you have your own space, nothing will happen.
But they don’t know, and they worry that something might happen to them.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo apologized to him very seriously.
"You don't need to apologize to me, just tell me where you went next time." Xu Wuyan looked at her seriously:
"Madam, please don't joke with your own safety. Promise me!"
Lin Mo nodded seriously, "I know.
Go back, I brought you some steamed buns, they are delicious."
Xu Wuyan nodded, then reached out and took her hand and walked towards the post station.
"Madam, I'm afraid I'll have to go out after breakfast. You should stay in the post station today and don't wander around. I'm afraid the Shangguan family will do something bad to you."
Speaking of this, Xu Wuyan's face was serious:
"Qi Shaojie just sent me a message. Shangguan Lin is dead. Shangguan Xi's legs were smashed to pieces and had to be sawed off to save his life. I'm afraid they will come and cause trouble."
Lin Mo nodded.
Shangguan Xi, she went to see it last night, and her legs were indeed sawed off, but she always felt something was wrong.
Although the carriage hit her legs, it shouldn't be necessary to saw off both legs to save her life.
She was watching from the scene and the situation wasn't that serious at all.
She suspected that something else would happen after she left.
Lin Mo told Xu Wuyan about her suspicions, and Xu Wuyan shook his head:
"She and Zhou Yuxuan were the only ones there at the time. If they didn't plan it, then Zhou Yuxuan must have been behind it. We'll have to ask them to find out."
Lin Mo didn't have any doubt about Xu Wuyan's guess!
But because I believe it, I can't help but feel my hair stand on end.
Zhou Yuxuan is so cruel.
"Don't be afraid!" Xu Wuyan grabbed her hand:
"I had someone reveal this suspicion to Shangguan Xi. If she knew there was something wrong with her broken leg, she would definitely investigate. I'll just let them fight amongst themselves."
Lin Mo nodded.
At this time, they also arrived at the door of the post station, but when they saw the stranger standing at the door of the post station, a look of surprise flashed across their faces.
You're not here to find them!
