She went to a corner, picked up a few pebbles that Zhuzhu had been playing with during the day, and quietly hid in the shadowy corner near the outhouse.
If the person intends to steal silver from your home, then they will definitely go to the two main rooms.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, she saw two people tiptoe into the courtyard. Perhaps afraid of being discovered, they moved slowly along the wall towards the main house.
Li Mai didn't move because she heard there were other people outside the gate, so there must have been more than just these two.
