Chapter 380: Unfavorable Weather
After only a moment of daze, Old Lady Xu regained her composure, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, let's eat! Don't worry about Fubao anymore!"
Mrs. Li's words really reminded Old Lady Xu.
How could Fubao, who has been very sensible since he was a child, suddenly become so willful?
All I can say is, she had to do it!
Why do we have to do this?
Thinking of Fubao's pale face when he woke up in the morning, and then went to Lu's house and went to the town, if Old Mrs. Xu still didn't understand something at this time, then she would have lived in vain.
It was obvious that something was going on, but they could not help and could only become a burden.
However, Old Mrs. Xu did not say anything, but kept everything in her heart.
After the family finished dinner, Old Mrs. Xu went to bed early and told her three daughters-in-law that no one was allowed to go to the new house in the east.
After the lights were turned off, Old Mrs. Xu did not undress, but knelt on the bed and prayed to the gods in the sky.
…
In the big house in the east, Fubao was waiting for the thieves to come with great interest.
Lichun was holding a stick and staying in the house awkwardly.
Soon, dark clouds covered the moon and the sky was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Sister Lichun, don't run around in the house, I'm going out!"
Lichun couldn't remember the pit outside, but Fubao could remember it clearly. She didn't know if it was the benefit of two lives as a human, or because she practiced the fetal breathing technique, but she had a truly photographic memory.
After greeting Lichun, Fubao left the room carrying the various gadgets he had obtained from Xu Zhong.
In the dark yard, the wind blew, and the leaves rustled.
“It’s going to rain!”
Fubao suddenly panicked.
The most important thing about her yard is the lime powder. If it rains, the lime powder will basically lose its effect.
Without the help of lime powder, it would be a stroke of luck for her traps to have only 30% of their full power remaining.
"God, my dear father, don't you love your daughter anymore?"
Fubao looked up at the sky.
However, God seemed not to hear Fubao's voice.
After a while, lightning flashed across the dark night sky, as if it was going to split the sky and the earth in half.
Next, there was a deafening roar of thunder.
…
At the Xu family's old house, the lights in Old Mrs. Xu's room were quickly lit.
Zhou, Li and Wang also lit the candles in the room and opened the door one after another.
"Mom, how about I go and take a look!"
Zhou spoke again.
There are lightning and thunder, and it looks like it’s going to rain heavily!
Old Mrs. Xu stood at the door, smiled slightly, and said, "Everyone go back to bed!"
"It was Fubao's own decision to go to the big house in the east!"
"Although she is still young, she is sensible!"
"You make the decision yourself, so you have to bear the consequences yourself!"
"Stop talking and go back to sleep!"
Old Mrs. Xu is extremely strong.
Zhou, Li, and Wang naturally didn't have the courage to refute their mother-in-law who was so serious. However, how could they sleep well if they were asked to go back to sleep like this?
Not to mention that Li's brain was slow to react, Zhou and Wang alone actually understood that their sister-in-law was no simple matter.
They still remember what life was like in their family before their mother-in-law became pregnant with their sister-in-law.
Some people are born with blessings.
In the past, they would not have believed such a statement. But ever since their mother-in-law became pregnant with their sister-in-law, life in this family has been getting better and better.
Unable to persuade Old Lady Xu, the three of them could only return to their rooms, but none of them could sleep.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't even go back to her room. She just left the door open, lit a candle, and looked to the east.
Although the courtyard wall blocked her view, Old Mrs. Xu seemed to be able to see her daughter in the mansion.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Xu suddenly understood the feelings of her mother-in-law's parents when her mother-in-law and her, the head of the family, were kneeling outside the courtyard gate.
Although the situation was not exactly the same, Old Mrs. Xu could truly understand this heart-wrenching anxiety.
…
After the lightning and thunder, heavy rain finally fell.
It was not a drizzle, but a heavy downpour.
As the heavy rain fell, the traps set by Fubao were basically destroyed.
The lime powder, which was the main fighting force, is now completely useless. As expected, after having such a nightmare, how could it be possible to resolve such a disaster so easily?
With a loud crack, another flash of lightning streaked across the sky. In the light of the lightning, Fubao saw three figures standing on the courtyard wall.
Here it comes!
When all her traps failed, the thief came!
How to play?
The fact that these three people could stand on the wall of their new house so easily showed that they were quite strong.
Click!
Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
The three people on the courtyard wall separated!
The direction one of them was heading was towards the flower tree where Fubao was hiding at the moment.
Chance!
Fubao concentrated and calmed down, waiting for the opponent to enter the range of his crossbow.
Bang!
Before the man could get close to her, a thief on the other side bumped into a mechanism she designed. From the sound, it seemed that the thief was hit on the head by the bouncing wood because the mechanism was triggered.
Snap!
Another huge bolt of lightning spanned the sky and earth.
The bright light illuminated the yard.
The thief who was coming towards Fubao missed a step and fell into a trap. He staggered towards the flower tree where Fubao was hiding.
The man tried his best to control his body and maintain his balance.
However, just as he maintained his balance, Fubao shot the crossbow in his hand.
puff!
The crossbow arrow pierced the opponent's neck accurately.
The man's body stiffened and he fell into the puddles in the yard.
Fubao didn't stop, but ran in the other direction with his short legs along the steps under the eaves.
The sound of falling rain covered up Fubao's footsteps and the thieves' footsteps.
Now, it’s like a blind cat catching a mouse in the dark. Whoever hits it wins!
The heavy rain continued, the thunder continued, but the lightning stopped.
The only light in the entire yard was the little candlelight shining through the window of the room.
Relying on his memory, Fubao avoided one trap after another, and then with the help of the candlelight shining through the house, he quickly locked onto the location of the second thief.
However, Fubao did not take any action, but continued to hide carefully.
Three thieves came, she killed one, and there were still two left.
She didn't want to be tricked into doing something like the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole waits behind.
Now is the time to test your patience.
As long as the thief doesn't rush into the house, Fubao will wait.
Although it was raining heavily and very cold.
But Fubao, who was practicing the fetal breathing method, not only did not feel the cold, but felt energetic. She could afford it!
