Chapter 394 Climbing Over the Wall in the Middle of the Night
Liang went to sleep peacefully at home, but Shu Yu quietly got up in the dead of night.
She went to listen outside Lu Sixing's house and, after confirming that they were all asleep, quietly left the courtyard.
As soon as I climbed down from the wall, I saw a big cow squatting in the corner with its head tucked in.
Shu Yu moved closer to him and asked softly, "Brother Da Niu, when did you arrive?"
"Not long ago, just a quarter of an hour ago." When Da Niu saw her come down from the wall, he was so startled that he almost screamed.
He quickly stood up and said, "Shall we go now?"
"Um."
Shu Yu pulled her clothes tighter around herself. The temperature difference between day and night was significant, especially at night, when it was probably only around ten degrees Celsius. With the wind blowing, it was quite chilly.
Seeing this, Da Niu was about to take off his clothes and give them to her, saying, "You can wear mine."
"No need, I'll warm up after walking a few steps. I have clothes, I deliberately didn't bring any." Once I warm up, they'll just be a burden.
The two didn't say anything more and quickly left Shangshi Village, heading towards Daxu Village.
Compared to the bustling daytime atmosphere, Daxu Village is now completely asleep.
Shu Yu and Da Niu went directly to the Yuan family's courtyard. After the house was sold during the day, the key was handed over to the two elders of the Yuan family.
Shu Yu was very skilled at climbing walls and quickly made it to the top.
Da Niu, “…” He weighed his options for a moment. After all, he was a young man and quite agile. He stepped on the big rock, and with Shu Yu pulling him up from the wall, he barely managed to flip over.
The two went straight into the house, opened the doors and windows, and looked at the house in the moonlight.
Da Niu was at a loss. "A Yu, how do we find it?"
Shu Yu pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Before the Yuan family was released, this house was always guarded by government officials. Moreover, they searched this courtyard inside and out several times in their search for clues about my fourth aunt's husband. If there were any problems, they would have discovered them long ago. This means the problem isn't obvious. Brother Da Niu, do you think there might be any secret passages or anything like that in this house?"
Da Niu scratched his head. "There shouldn't be, right?" The house doesn't even have a cellar.
"It seems we'll have to figure it out little by little."
Just as Shu Yu finished speaking, she heard a faint noise coming from outside the courtyard.
She suddenly grabbed Da Niu, who was about to make a move, and whispered, "Someone's coming, hide."
The sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door, and a moment later, the gate was pushed open.
Shu Yu hid behind a water vat in the courtyard.
Two people were vaguely seen entering the courtyard; judging from their figures, it was definitely a man and a woman.
Unfortunately, the two men actually walked towards the water tank where Shu Yu was hiding.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, subtly raised her hand, and covered her face with her sleeve.
Da Niu, who was hiding on the other side, became somewhat anxious upon seeing this.
Fortunately, the two people stopped five steps away from the water tank.
Shu Yu and Da Niu both breathed a sigh of relief, but from this distance, they could also see the two of them.
Coincidentally, it was Mr. Yuan and his wife.
The two people not only arrived, but they also brought a small shovel with them.
Shu Yu squinted and peeked slightly to the side. She then saw that the two seemed to be measuring the location. After a while, they stopped at the corner of the wall.
"Is this the place?" Old Master Yuan said in a loud voice.
