Suddenly, Ma Yunfei's eyes were drawn to a dress drying in the yard. The dress seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
A white dress with blue polka dots, and a lace embroidered hem at the bottom.
He suddenly remembered that this dress was one he wore in the summer, and it was also his favorite dress that summer wore.
Ma Yunfei's heart trembled suddenly. Could summer be here?
Ma Yunfei glanced into the house and asked, "Grandma, don't you feel lonely living alone? You should find someone to keep you company."
"Hehe... I'm used to it. When I was a nanny, I served the boss's whole family, it was noisy and chaotic. Now that I've retired and returned to my hometown, I did feel a little lonely at first, but I got used to it over time, and I actually like living alone."
If the elderly woman lives alone, then whose dress is it?
Ma Yunfei simply said frankly, "Grandma, you're quite fashionable."
The proprietress asked, puzzled, "How am I fashionable?"
"Auntie, you like wearing dresses, and this dress is very elegant and tasteful."
The old lady explained with a smile, "Recently, my niece came to stay with me for a few days during her summer vacation. This dress is hers."
"Your niece is going to college?"
"Yes...yes, I'm in college and on summer vacation."
A flicker of panic crossed the old woman's face; she was clearly lying.
What is your niece's major?
"Oh, I didn't ask that. I'm too old. Even if you told me what major it was, I wouldn't understand."
Ma Yunfei glanced into the house. He really wanted to go inside and sit for a while; maybe he could run into Xia Tian.
Ma Yunfei deliberately raised his voice and said loudly, "Auntie, I'm buying local specialties in several nearby villages. Could I stay here for the night? I can pay for your lodging."
The old woman said apologetically, "Young man, please forgive me. I'm a bit eccentric and prefer to live alone. Besides, it's not convenient for you to stay here. You see, I have two big wolfhounds that guard my house and don't allow any outsiders to come in. Take you for example, if you want to leave later, I'll have to take you to the outside of the yard. Otherwise, these two wolfhounds will block your way."
Ma Yunfei was startled. Could it be that these two large wolfhounds were so intelligent that they were beyond human comprehension?
Two big wolfhounds are more effective than two security guards.
If it were just two security guards, Ye Ya could easily handle them, but she might not be able to deal with these two big wolfhounds.
The old woman asked, "Young man, you've had your water. If you have nothing else to do, I'll see you off. I need to go plant vegetables in my plot later, so I won't have time to keep you company."
The old lady gave them the order to leave.
Ma Yunfei had no choice but to leave the old lady's house.
He ran to the village entrance and said to Yeya, "The boss's daughter is locked in this yard. There's only an old lady living in the yard. It's a pity. She has two big wolfhounds. Although they're chained, the chains are so long that it's practically useless. These two wolfhounds are really fierce. They're completely different from the dogs that Wang Xiaobian keeps."
Ye Ya said dismissively, "A dog is just a dog. Does it think it's more powerful than a wolf? When I see a wolf, I can kill it with a single shot. I don't even consider it a threat."
"Girl, you can't shoot the wolfhound with a gun. As soon as the gun goes off, all the villagers will come running, and then we won't be able to escape."
Wild Girl drew a dagger from her waist and said, "If you can't shoot, I'll use a knife."
"Girl, these two big wolfhounds are as big and strong as calves. It's too dangerous for you to fight them bare-handed."
Wild Girl said defiantly, "Brother Ma, you underestimate me. If you don't believe me, I'll go and fight these two wolfhounds and show you how I can beat them to a pulp."
Ma Yunfei predicts: Wild Girl can't beat these two big wolfhounds.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "That old lady said she was going to plant vegetables in her private plot. Let's go to the yard and try while she's not home. My idea is to gag those two big wolfhounds, but what can we use to gag them? Right, if only we had a tranquilizer gun, one shot each, and we could put those two big wolfhounds to sleep."
Wild Girl pouted and asked, "Where are we going to find a tranquilizer gun? Don't even think about it. Let me use my dagger to deal with those two big wolfhounds."
Ma Yunfei took out his binoculars and stared intently at the old woman's courtyard gate.
About ten minutes later, the gate opened, and the old woman, carrying a hoe and a basket, came out and walked westward.
After the old lady had gone far away, Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya secretly ran to the courtyard wall.
Ye Ya leaped onto the wall. Just as he got on, two wolfhounds pounced. Unfortunately, the chain was a little too short, and the two wolfhounds were pulled back halfway by the chain.
Wild Girl was startled and fell off the wall.
"Hey girl, are you alright? Did the wolfhound bite you?"
Ye Ya got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "My god, Brother Ma, you're right. These two wolfhounds are too fierce, even more ferocious than wolves. If the chain hadn't been a bit short, they would have pounced on me."
Wild Girl took out a disassembled hunting rifle from her backpack and said, "Brother Ma, we can only deal with this with a gun."
"No, if a shot is fired, it will alert the neighbors."
“Brother Ma, my idea is: kill the two hunting dogs, then let’s leave here quickly and come back tomorrow.”
“Girl, are you stupid? If you kill two wolfhounds, you’ll alert them. I think even if Wang Xiaobian doesn’t come, the old lady will be on alert. They’ll move Xia Tian to another place or send someone to guard the area.”
Wild Girl asked dejectedly, "What can we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch the boss's daughter be imprisoned here?"
Ma Yunfei thought for a moment, then ran to the back of the house, tapped the wall with a stone, and shouted, "Summer!"
Ma Yunfei dared not shout loudly, so he could only keep banging on the wall with stones.
Suddenly, he heard an echo.
Someone inside was also knocking on the wall.
Ma Yunfei knocked three times, and the person inside the house knocked three times as well. Then Ma Yunfei knocked five times, and the person inside the house knocked five times as well.
Ma Yunfei became even more certain: Summer was imprisoned here.
Two large wolfhounds are the biggest obstacle to their rescue of Xia Tian.
Ma Yunfei said, "Girl, let's go back. We can't stay here any longer. If we get discovered, it will be a disaster."
"Brother Ma, are we just going to stand by and watch the boss's daughter get locked up here, and do nothing about it?"
"Right now, my mind is a complete mess, and I can't think of a good solution. I'll think about it when I get back."
Ma Yunfei and Ye Ya returned to Xiao Jie's house.
