Just as Ruan Qiushui reached out to touch the light switch next to the bed, she noticed that the footsteps in the yard sounded strange.
Compared to the familiar footsteps, the footsteps in the yard sounded more like someone sneaking around on tiptoe.
Does the male homeowner need to come home quietly?
Ruan Qiushui's heart sank. She tiptoed to the door, took out her stun gun, and prepared to deliver a fatal blow.
The footsteps grew closer, and just as Ruan Qiushui held her breath in a split second, another heavy thud came from the courtyard.
A moment later, the sounds of hand-to-hand combat could be heard outside.
Ruan Qiushui, not understanding what was going on, looked out through the crack in the window.
Fortunately, the saplings in the yard hadn't grown up yet. The moonlight was bright, and two burly men of unfamiliar build were fighting in the yard.
The two exchanged blows, each punch landing hard, and later they both pulled out daggers and began fighting for their lives.
At this moment, Gu Changfeng also rode his bicycle to the outside of the courtyard.
"!"
Gu Changfeng, who was about to open the gate and go in, saw the broken keyhole alarm going off loudly.
My wife is in danger!
Gu Changfeng quickly broke down the door, and the bicycle fell to the ground.
As soon as Gu Changfeng entered, he saw two people fighting each other with knives.
Why they risked their lives is not important; what matters is that the stranger who broke into his house was an enemy.
Gu Changfeng took two steps forward and, in less than five moves, subdued the two men, handcuffing them together.
"You are not Gu Changfeng!" x2
The two idiots looked at each other, their eyes widening in surprise.
They all thought the other was Gu Changfeng, which is why they went to such lengths to kill him.
If they had known they were allies with the same goal, they would have barged into the house long ago.
"Shut up."
Gu Changfeng, annoyed by their noise, knocked them unconscious.
"You're back? I was almost scared to death."
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Ruan Qiushui quickly came out of the house.
It is still necessary to express vulnerability appropriately.
Are you alright?
Ruan Qiushui touched Gu Changfeng's arm and chest.
Those two were carrying knives.
"I'm fine."
Gu Changfeng shook his head.
The two men were already exhausted from their fight and were no match for him.
"Honey, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for coming home late."
Gu Changfeng hugged his wife tightly, feeling somewhat guilty.
If he could come back sooner, his wife wouldn't have to worry so much.
"It's nothing. Who would have thought that while I was sleeping soundly, my house would be burgled?"
These kinds of things are unpredictable.
"Why don't you go back to your parents' house to sleep for a while?"
If he comes home late again, how can his wife's safety be guaranteed?
With a large family, thieves generally won't take the risk.
Even if a bad guy goes in, my wife can call out in time, and my parents and older brother can arrive immediately.
"Let's forget it, I'll be fine at home."
At worst, she could sleep in the space every night and come out when she heard Gu Changfeng return.
Nowhere feels as comfortable as home.
"Then I'll think of another way."
His wife didn't want to go back, but he didn't force her.
"Honey, you get some sleep first. I have some errands to run."
He needs to deal with those two bastards first.
"good."
Ruan Qiushui nodded and went back to her bedroom.
A short while later, Ruan Qiushui heard a commotion coming from outside the courtyard.
Who is it?
Ruan Qiushui was worried, so she picked up the stun gun and went outside.
"Third sister-in-law, it's me."
Gu Changshu quickly responded through the door.
What are you doing outside?
Ruan Qiushui relaxed and opened the courtyard gate.
"My third brother was worried and asked me to keep watch outside."
Gu Changshu brought his own small stool and sat properly at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Are you cold? Do you need something to eat?"
It's chilly at night, I hope the child doesn't catch a cold.
"It's alright, Third Sister-in-law, you go inside and rest."
He brought a coat, so he won't get cold.
"Okay."
She stopped inviting him in.
Even if her brother-in-law is young, he is still a man. As a woman living alone, Ruan Qiushui still needs to be more discreet.
Ruan Qiushui went to the kitchen, steamed two large meat buns for Gu Changshu, poured him a cup of hot water with an enamel spatula, and went back to her bedroom to continue sleeping.
As dawn broke, Gu Changfeng returned home, his clothes soaked with dew.
"I'll get you something to eat, then you can get a good night's sleep."
Ruan Qiushui had already woken up and felt extremely distressed when she saw the dark circles under her husband's eyes.
"Don't worry, honey. You didn't sleep well last night. Get some more sleep."
Gu Changfeng pressed Ruan Qiushui back onto the bed and changed her into some dry clothes.
"Woof woof".
Why are dogs barking outside?
Ruan Qiushui listened carefully and looked at Gu Changfeng for an answer.
"Honey, do you like dogs?"
Gu Changfeng was also a little uneasy at this moment, afraid that his wife didn't like small animals.
"Of course I like it, how could I not?"
Ruan Qiushui got up, put on her clothes, and went outside.
Her favorite animals are cats and dogs.
She still remembers the big yellow dog her mother raised when she was little, which would pick her up and drop her off at school every day.
Unfortunately, it was secretly taken away by dog meat vendors and can never be found again.
Ruan Qiushui came to the yard and saw a German Shepherd with brown, yellow and black fur, a limp right hind leg and missing half an ear.
"Woof woof!"
The German Shepherd watched Ruan Qiushui warily, awaiting Gu Changfeng's next instructions.
"Hei Zi, lie down."
Gu Changfeng pressed his palm down, and Hei Zi stretched out its two front paws and lay down on the ground.
"This is your mistress. You have to protect her, understand?"
Gu Changfeng took two steps forward and patted Hei Zi's head.
“Wife, come here, let Hei Zi smell your scent.”
Gu Changfeng placed one hand on Hei's head, allowing Ruan Qiushui to slowly approach.
"Woof."
Those who have a slight understanding of human nature lower their guard.
"Is it injured?"
Ruan Qiushui leaned closer to examine the wound on Hei Zi's right hind leg, which was somewhat ulcerated and not healing well.
"Three days ago, when Hei Zi was on a mission, he was injured in the foot by the criminals while protecting the hostages during the evacuation, and half of his ear was also cut off."
The conditions were harsh, so they could only provide basic treatment for Hei Zi's wounds.
When they returned to the county, the hospital only provided Hei Zi with conservative treatment.
Since Hei Zi, who has difficulty moving around, can no longer participate in missions, the department is considering its retirement.
He was worried about his wife's safety at home, so when they were unwilling to take over, he brought Hei Zi back.
"Heizi is the best police dog in the department, with rich combat experience. Even though he's getting old now, he can still take on two people at once. I feel at ease having him at home with you."
If there are a large number of people coming, Hei Zi can buy his wife time to escape.
He also told his parents that if they heard Heizi barking unusually at night, they should come and check on him immediately.
"good."
Ruan Qiushui nodded and patted Hei Zi's head.
"Woo~"
Hei Zi squinted, seemingly enjoying himself.
