This jade pendant consumed a lot of energy for Lin Momo and Shiguang to reunite in another world, and its originally lustrous jade quality has transformed into an ordinary appearance.
After being nurtured in the space for half a year, it didn't seem to show much improvement.
But Lin Momo had a feeling that the little gourd had become more powerful, as if it contained some unknown ability. Could it be that another space had been conceived inside?
The thought flashed through her mind, but she immediately dismissed it, feeling that she was indulging in wishful thinking.
Shi Guang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, don't think so much. We're inseparable as a couple. If you have your own space, it's the same as me having one. Having one is lucky enough. Even if you have another one, it's just icing on the cake."
Lin Momo thought about it and agreed.
The two then discussed their strategy for the evening.
Shi Guang first used charcoal to draw a layout of the Qian family mansion and granary that he had inquired about and investigated over the past two days on the stone table, and then went through the process with Lin Momo.
Because they were going to be working late into the night, the couple went upstairs to rest and recharge after discussing it.
As dusk approached, the two finally emerged from the spatial dimension.
The couple transformed into a pair of "brothers," both donning ordinary people's coarse cloth short-sleeved shirts—clothes suitable not only for work but also for causing trouble.
The two brothers, one tall and one short, entered the town before the city gates closed. They found their way to a secluded alley behind the Qian family mansion and hid in their spatial dimension again, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The people in the small town don't have much of a nightlife; after nightfall, the streets are pitch black and you won't see any pedestrians.
On a dark and windy night, Shi Guang and Lin Mo left the space and used a ladder to climb into the backyard of the Qian family mansion.
If they were stealing grain, why did they end up in the Qian family's house?
It wasn't that they went to the wrong place, but rather that the location of the granary was rather unusual.
It was probably designed for security reasons that it was deliberately surrounded on three sides, sandwiched between the Qian family's residence and another large family's residence, with only the main entrance as a passage for entry and exit.
The house where the granary was located had the same depth as the two adjacent houses, totaling four courtyards. Master Qian incorporated the rear courtyard into the Qian residence and turned it into a back garden.
Next to the Qian family's house was a narrow alley, about three or four feet wide.
However, to reach the granary, whether entering from the back street or the side alley, one had to pass through the house where the Qian family lived. Even if one could evade the servants, transporting the grain out was not easy, as difficult as crossing mountains and valleys.
This undoubtedly created many obstacles for the thieves who wanted to steal the grain.
No wonder the Qian family's granary has never been robbed over the years.
It must be said that this layout is very ingenious, and it is unknown who provided the construction plan to Mr. Qian.
However, even the most perfect plan is useless in the face of a master.
Although Lin Momo and Shi Guang were not strong enough to scale walls and roofs, with the support of a spatial master and the assistance of various tools, their overall abilities were slightly better than those of experts who could scale walls and roofs.
To avoid people, the two chose to climb over the wall from the back street.
Upon entering the back garden, Shi Guang and Lin Momo first scouted the area, confirming that the garden was deserted and without a single light, before heading towards the granary under the hazy moonlight.
Although there was no one around, the two of them had to proceed cautiously in the dark, surveying their surroundings as they went.
Suddenly, Lin Momo stopped in her tracks. Her eyes, accustomed to the darkness, keenly caught a glimmer of light, and she hurriedly reached out to grab the light that was illuminating the way ahead.
"What's wrong?" Shi Guang turned around and asked in a low voice, puzzled.
Lin Momo pointed to a spot ahead and said in a low voice, "There, it looks like there's candlelight."
Following the direction of her finger, Shiguang stared intently for a while. The garden was pitch black at night, except for a faint white light emanating from the rocks, where tiny orange candlelight was hidden.
He felt there was something strange about that patch of rocks, so he decided to go and investigate. He turned back and instructed his wife:
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look."
"Let's go together." Lin Momo held Shiguang's hand tightly.
Shi Guang thought that since his wife had a space, they would have a place to hide even in case of an emergency, so he stopped worrying and took her hand and walked in that direction.
Only when you get closer can you vaguely see that this area is a rockery made of Taihu stones, and the flickering candlelight is reflected from these Taihu stones.
The two of them lay down on the Taihu stone at the same time, peering through the gaps in the light and shadow, and were both surprised to find that it was hollow underneath.
