The Meng family's house is the only large courtyard house made of blue bricks in Shanghe Village. Not only are the dozen or so rooms in the courtyard all built of blue bricks, but the surrounding wall, which is about one and a half meters high, is also made of blue bricks. However, the wall behind the house, which is against a small hill, is only about one meter high due to the terrain.
Su Sanhu stood on the small hill and saw the girl about to jump over the wall, so he quickly grabbed her.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then suddenly closed it again just before he could speak. After all, everything was unusually quiet at night, and even a whisper could be heard clearly.
He then pointed to the wall and rolled his eyes: "We can't climb over the wall, we'll get caught."
Su Hua also rolled her eyes at him: We won't climb over the wall, we'll just eavesdrop.
After saying that, he easily pushed Su Sanhu aside, braced his hands on the wall, pushed off with his feet, and flipped himself up onto the wall.
Then they climbed directly up the wall to the roof in front of them. Compared to the people who had been climbing up and down the crooked tree to pick fruit, their movements on the roof were noticeably more agile.
Indeed, people are made through practice.
Upon hearing this, Su Sanhu's eyes widened in shock. Wasn't eavesdropping even more dangerous than climbing over a wall? Ever since Su Hua used a scheme to imprison Meng Chengshi on charges of burglary, he had been cramming on the relevant regulations with his elder brother.
But Su Hua had already slid up onto the roof and couldn't be pulled back. He could only swallow his saliva and obediently follow behind her.
If the Meng family really catches him, at least he can let Hua'er escape first.
The two of them climbed one after the other until they reached the top of the house at the back of the middle of the entire house before stopping.
Then, he saw Su Hua lie down on top of him, close her eyes, and fall asleep!
In the blink of an eye, her breathing became steady, clearly indicating that she had fallen asleep.
Su Sanhu stood there dumbfounded.
What kind of eavesdropping are they listening to?
At this moment, he had almost completely forgotten why he had come out tonight.
The night air was a bit chilly, and with the wind blowing through Fuhu Mountain, a chill instantly ran through him. Su Sanhu rubbed his arms, looked at the person sleeping soundly beside him, shook his head helplessly, and took off his outer garment to carefully cover her up.
The moon's shadow gradually faded from the mountaintop, and a thin mist quietly spread through the mountains.
The sky had become much brighter without us even realizing it.
Until the clatter of horses' hooves sounded.
Su Hua's ears twitched slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes. She saw a boy wearing only a single layer of clothing lying sprawled on the roof tile beside her. He was pecking at rice with his eyes closed, and the backs of his two exposed hands were completely icy cold.
His coat was completely covering his body.
Thinking back to how she fell asleep the moment her head touched the roof tile yesterday, even the thick-skinned Su Hua felt a little ashamed. She had planned to stay on the tile from midnight until morning, hoping to see what she wanted to see.
After all, when Dr. Zhou came to the Su family, he mentioned that Meng Fu's injury needed to be treated with ointment twice a day, morning and evening.
Unexpectedly, once the body became drowsy, the mind immediately lost its grip.
I've never slept this much before. Maybe it's because I was really exhausted yesterday. I went to Qingshui County to buy things early in the morning, and then spent the afternoon preparing food. I was still busy collecting apples online late at night, which completely wore me out.
Fortunately, it's not too late yet.
Su Hua narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and glanced at the Meng family's stable.
Meng Yongfu was seen leading his family's big red horse out the door. Now that Meng Chengshi was in jail and Meng Fu was useless, Meng Yongfu was the only one managing everything in the house.
A mountain breeze stirred the carriage curtains, and a glimpse of moonlit clothing could be vaguely seen peeking out from beside the window.
Moonlight was Meng Yun'er's favorite color.
Su Hua's mind stirred slightly. No wonder she hadn't seen Meng Yun'er come to the Su family to cause trouble these past two days. It turned out she had gone to the county town with Meng Yongfu. That was good, as it would save her from always trying to target her family.
She reached out and poked Su Sanhu, draped his clothes over him, and then took out a small bamboo tube from her sleeve.
"Here, have some drink to warm yourself up."
Su Sanhu paused in his chick-pecking motion, looked at the small bamboo tube in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp without thinking.
Almost immediately after swallowing it, my body felt much warmer.
His eyes lit up, and he asked in a very low voice, "Where did Hua'er buy this wine? It's not strong at all, and it smells really good!"
Su Hua rolled her eyes at him, took the empty bamboo tube back from his hand, and carefully put it back in her sleeve. She wasn't a diligent person, and cutting bamboo was a time-consuming task, so she wanted to minimize the effort she could put in.
Once the Meng family carriage had completely disappeared from sight, she quietly and carefully removed a tile in front of the two people who were lying down.
As luck would have it, the tile that was removed was right in front of a large bed.
Su Sanhu lay on the roof and looked down. When he saw a big pig's head sleeping soundly on the bed, snoring loudly, his brows furrowed. His doubts reached their peak in an instant. Hua'er had asked him to eavesdrop on Meng Fu.
But what does this have to do with his decision to go to Southeast Asia?
Just then, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I looked up and saw Su Hua pointing to the side.
He turned to the side and looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a tiny sky-blue figure appear on a hidden, narrow path to his side.
"Like jade?" Su Sanhu's eyes lit up. With just one glance, he knew who that figure was.
He instinctively tried to get up, his shoe tip hitting the tile with a 'sizzling' sound.
This faint sound suddenly calmed him down. This was the Meng family residence, and this path could only lead to the Meng family, not to his old Su family. Siyu was not here to see him!
Thinking of this, Su Sanhu felt his heart skip a beat.
A look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he stared blankly at the tiny sky-blue figure approaching step by step along the path. Finally, the figure calmly stopped at the back door of the Meng family's house, took out a small key from his sleeve, and skillfully opened the door to enter the Meng family's house.
The footsteps faded away from the back door, and a few breaths later, the sound of the door opening came from under the roof.
The previously deafening snoring suddenly stopped.
