Chapter 71 Oh no, there’s a fire!
I helped Mr. Liu catch ghosts in his house a few days ago, so it shouldn't be difficult to get through their house.
The two prefectures are adjacent to each other, and with such a large area, there are bound to be weak points in defense.
The two siblings secretly got off the carriage while no one was paying attention and went to Mr. Liu's mansion.
The servants of the Liu Mansion naturally knew Xiao Yuanbao.
Dabao may not remember.
Everyone in the Liu Mansion knows the little milk dumpling.
He quickly welcomed him into the mansion, informed housekeeper Liu, and Dabao briefly explained the purpose of his visit.
Butler Liu certainly couldn't afford to offend the young master, so he led the two of them personally, found a low part of the courtyard wall, got a ladder, and let Dabao and the other two pass. Then, he asked someone to guard the place, and if there was any movement, they would quickly welcome the two of them back.
They also sealed off this area of the yard to prevent outsiders from passing by.
…
Dabao jumped off the wall first, then carried his sister down to the ground.
This is a back garden of the Shi Mansion.
No one noticed them.
It was Xiao Yuanbao's first time to be a thief. He was very excited. He tugged at Dabao's clothes and looked around.
Neither of them knew the topography of Shifu.
Just touch wherever you want.
"Big brother, this house is so big!"
They went from one yard to another. The two were smart and walked through several yards without being discovered.
The two siblings stopped in front of a small courtyard that was heavily guarded.
Little Yuanbao's face flushed with excitement, "Big brother, there are so many people guarding here, could Brother Tengu be in there? Let's go in and take a look!"
Dabao thought so too.
But, with so many people, we have to find a way to get in.
It's not a good idea to force your way in.
Soon, Dabao had an idea.
"Sister, wait here. I'll lead them away and then you can find a way to get in."
The little girl nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
Dabao left.
After a while, thick smoke came out from not far away.
Someone was shouting, "Oh no! There's a fire! Help! Put out the fire!"
The people guarding here became anxious, so they left one person to guard the place while the rest went to put out the fire.
The person who stayed behind also stretched his neck to look towards the direction where the water was flowing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, little Yuanbao nimbly climbed up an old locust tree beside the yard with his little hands and feet, and jumped into the yard.
Fortunately, there was a grassy area inside.
The little kid was small and soft, so he wasn't hurt.
It was as if she had been discovered by someone, a disheveled girl was staring at her curiously.
"Who are you, little guy? Did you fall from the sky?"
Little Yuanbao blinked his big eyes. Oh no, he was discovered!
"Big sister, you are so beautiful. I think I have seen you somewhere before..."
Flatter first.
Shi Maner's mouth twitched. She had been going crazy all day, driving all the maids and servants out. She looked like a crazy woman, and this little milk ball that fell from the sky actually praised her for being beautiful...
This little kid, who came from an unknown background, was chattering away, trying to defeat her with a sugar-coated bullet!
She wouldn't fall for it.
She heard someone shouting outside that the water was leaking.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to climb out of the yard wall.
The courtyard wall was too high and there was no place to start. As a result, a small baby fell in from outside first.
It scared her.
At this time, Xiao Yuanbao spoke again, her eyes were full of excited little stars.
"Big sister, I recognized you. You are the one who escaped from marriage two days ago, the one running on the riverbank... right?"
Shi Maner was stunned. "Are you the little girl washing her face by the river?"
"That's me! I was cheering you on and told you to run faster... Big sis!"
Xiao Yuanbao actively admitted it.
Shi Maner laughed.
She had a deep memory of the little guy who told her to run faster a few days ago.
If she could run fast, would she be caught?
"Are you a little girl from a nearby farmer's family? What are you doing climbing over my wall?"
The little girl's two pigtails were swaying.
"I came to look for my brother Tiangou. He disappeared. I read a fortune and it seemed that he was in your house, so I came to look for him. The people outside said they had never seen him and would not let us in, so I sneaked in with my elder brother..."
Not only did he confess himself, he also betrayed his companions.
The three-and-a-half-year-old kid is just unreliable.
Shi Maner asked, "Is it a little boy, a little bit this big?"
He gestured a bit.
Xiao Yuanbao looked at her puzzledly.
Shi Maner continued, "A very good-looking little boy, about five or six years old?"
This time, Xiao Yuanbao nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes, the one who is good-looking at this age is Brother Tengu, and the one who is not good-looking at this age is not..."
Shi Maner...
How come this little girl is so interesting?
It's only a little bigger than a bean sprout. Do you know what good-looking and ugly mean?
Pah, business is more important.
"Then you have found the right person. I hid him in my dressing room behind me..."
"Please take me to find Brother Tengu..."
"Walk."
The two went to a row of warehouses at the back of the yard.
This is where Shi Maner lives. There are two rows of houses in front and back.
The front row is where she lives, and the back row is the warehouse, where she stores her things.
All her bridal items, once completed, would be sent here to be packed up.
I opened the largest storeroom and found it was filled with dowry.
It's packed with both big and small items.
If someone hides here, it would be difficult to be found.
Shi Maner whispered to the room, "Hey, it's me, your sister is here to see you."
She didn't know where the child inside was hiding.
Little Yuanbao looked at the dowries filling the room, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.
At this time, a small figure appeared in the corner.
It was Wang Tiangou.
"Xiao Yuanbao, why are you here?"
Little Yuanbao retracted his gaze and happily threw himself towards Wang Tiangou, "Brother Tiangou, we came to look for you. The people outside didn't let anyone in, so we climbed over the wall and sneaked in..."
Wang Tiangou was only a head taller than the little milk ball, and he could hardly catch the little milk ball that was running towards him.
He was knocked back several steps before he finally stabilized.
"Where's Dabao?"
Little Yuanbao pointed outside and said, "Big brother told me to lure away the servants and let me in to look for someone, and then I ran into Big Sister! Brother Tiangou, what's wrong with you?"
She noticed that Wang Tiangou's body was covered with bruises.
"I'm fine."
He couldn't accept what happened to his parents, so he had been hanging around Shi's house for the past two days, trying to find a way to get his parents' wages and material fees back.
It actually made him discover something.
He also climbed over the wall to get in today, but was caught and beaten.
Lock him in the woodshed.
He was small and found an opportunity to escape.
I fled to Shi Maner's yard, but there was no one there, so I sneaked in and hid.
Unexpectedly, it was not that there was no one there, but that Shi Maner had gone crazy and ran out of the yard, and a group of servants chased her, leaving the yard empty.
