Chapter 265 The Thief
After searching around, I still can't seem to find what I want.

So he boldly approached the bed and looked down at the two sleeping on the bed, one big and one small, they were Aunt Bai and Miss Fifth from the mansion.

She took a deep breath, leaned down with her heart beating like thunder, and began to grope around on the bed.

It's ridiculous to say that the visitor didn't know what he was looking for, he only knew he was looking for a book.

But in this not-so-spacious room, not to mention books, even paper slips are very rare. Visitors can't help but feel troubled, but they think that if they go back without gaining anything, it may be difficult to do business.

In desperation, just bit the bullet and groped to get up from the bed, and approached the sleeping two with a fluke in mind.

He reached out and touched under the mattress, groping cautiously, even though it was late at night and there was a breeze blowing outside the window, he was still sweating profusely from anxiety.

Suddenly, Lin Chuqian turned over on the bed, and the visitor withdrew his hand in fright, and stood motionless at the same spot, and was so nervous that he even had shortness of breath for a moment.

The visitor hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, lest his breathing would reveal his existence.

Fortunately, Lin Chuqian only turned over, and there was no other movement after that.

The visitor breathed a sigh of relief, and after doing some psychological construction, he continued to search for the so-called book boldly.

He turned over the corner of the bed and found that there was nothing there, so he leaned forward again and reached out his hand to feel under the pillow.

At this moment, Lin Chuqian turned over again. Coincidentally, she put her hand on the arm of the visitor. The latter let out a soft cry in fright, and then covered her hand in fright.

After Lin Chuqian let out a muffled snort, she didn't feel the strange arm on her, and she was still in a drowsy sleep.

The visitor hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was thinking about how to slowly withdraw his hand, he suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes looking straight at her in the darkness.

Those eyes were astonishingly clear, reflecting the moonlight, they were extraordinarily bright in the dark.

The person who came was startled, broke out in a cold sweat, opened his mouth, wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to move, he was in a dilemma.

He Mingzhu lay on the bed innocently looking at the person standing by the bed, blinking her eyes twice, as if she was wondering who it was!

"mother."

Suddenly, He Mingzhu screamed.

The visitor couldn't help being startled, and Lin Chuqian trembled in her sleep, and opened her eyes in a daze, impatiently. "Little pig, it's in the middle of the night, what's your name, do you want to let me go?"

Before Lin Chuqian finished speaking, she looked into the eyes of the person in the darkness.

A moment later, she let out a cry of surprise, and lost all sleepiness in an instant.

The visitor was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, turned around and walked straight to the door in the dark.

"Catch the thief!" Lin Chuqian sat up and yelled.

The black figure broke through the door and fled away. Under the moonlight, the figure of that person was faintly revealed. It was not tall, and a woman's figure and curves could be vaguely seen.

He Mingzhu hugged her arm in fear, as if she was too scared to speak out, but it wasn't necessarily true, she was usually a dull gourd.

Lin Chuqian watched helplessly as the figure ran further and further away, before disappearing in no time.

Thanks to her scream of catching the thief, Sheng'er and Hui'er from the next door hurried over with their coats and lanterns.

Huier was the most panicked, her face was pale against the backdrop of holding the lamp. "Aunt Bai, was there a thief in our yard?"

"Mom, are you okay, are you hurt?" Sheng'er walked to the bed with a worried face, and pulled her to look carefully.

Lin Chuqian also calmed down now. With the help of the weak light, she found that her room was a bit messy. It seemed that the man was looking for something!

This is what happened.

Her yard can be said to be barren and simple, no matter how blind a thief is, it is impossible to touch her house!

And no matter how the thief touches it, it's impossible for him to touch her, an old and decrepit old woman!

After thinking about it carefully, I have a plan.

She smiled inexplicably, comforted Hui'er and Sheng'er, and told them that she was safe and sound, and the thief failed.

Sheng'er knew something was wrong, so she didn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Hui'er was frightened, she patted her chest and begged the blessings of various gods before she calmed down.

Sheng'er pursed her small mouth tightly, and asked hesitantly, "Mother, is it them?"

"Who else but them?" Lin Chuqian asked back with a slight sneer.

Hui'er was in a fog while listening. "Who are you talking about? Who are they?"

Lin Chuqian smiled meaningfully, and then in order to ease the atmosphere, she said half-jokingly: "Maybe I misread, the person who came here is not a thief, maybe it's because the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva from the sky has manifested, it's my fault that I don't know what to do." Tarzan."

"Aunt Bai." Hui'er gave her a dissatisfied look.Although she wasn't very smart, she could still hear the banter in the words, she was angry that Lin Chuqian didn't care, the yard was full of thieves, and she was in the mood to make such jokes.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing, let's go back to our rooms and sleep!" Lin Chu smiled and waved his hands, jokingly said, "In my room, even if a real thief comes, I'm afraid I have to leave with tears in my eyes."

When Huier heard that she was amused, she thought it was the same.The only thing in this mansion is their courtyard, which is shabby and dilapidated. It would be absurd for them to be attacked by thieves.

Whether the thief was unlucky or blind, he missed this yard.

**
The next morning.

After Lin Chuqian experienced what happened last night, she excused herself from being sick and was too lazy to get up in bed.

It was claimed to the outside world that when he got up last night and saw a thief in the house, he was frightened and fell ill.

Although Hui'er found it strange, she didn't think too much about it. She followed Lin Chuqian's wishes and went to the kitchen to cook the medicinal soup for her, using the tonic that Zhou Yurong had given her earlier.

He also told Hui'er that if someone asks, don't be shy, just say what it is.

That's why when Hui'er met the maid in Aunt Liu's room in the kitchen and asked her, she told the truth.

In a short while, the story of Lin Chuqian being burglarized in the house last night spread throughout the house.

Aunt Liu condescended to step into Lin Chuqian's yard again as she expected.

Lin Chuqian was lying on the bed, so weak that she couldn't even raise her voice. Seeing Aunt Liu enter the door, she couldn't get up to greet her.

Fortunately, Aunt Liu said in time: "Sister, don't be too polite."

"Aunt Liu." Lin Chuqian spoke weakly, twitching the corners of her mouth, her expression not looking well.

"Sister, what's the matter? You were fine yesterday. Why did you hear that you were sick early this morning?" Aunt Liu covered her nose lightly with a handkerchief, with a slightly disgusted look on her face. He simply sat on the edge of the bed.

"Aunt Liu." Lin Chuqian reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly, with an anxious and pleading face. "A thief came into my house last night. The night was too dark, so I couldn't see what that person looked like."

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her words, then she heard her say again: "But look at that figure is a woman, and she seems to be looking for something in my room, it's too scary, Aunt Liu, do you want to help me?" Be the master, catch that thief as soon as possible!"

Aunt Liu smiled with a subtly stiff face, patted the back of her hand, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Of course I won't just sit idly by and ignore the thief in the mansion, sister, don't worry."
