Chapter 31: Digging a Pit and Waiting (Part II)
The night was calm, the manor was as quiet as if there was no one, patrolling, the moonlight was a little dim, the shadows of the trees were mottled, a few residual lamps lit up the garden lonely, the occasional chirping of autumn insects under the trees, piercing the sleeping garden, and occasionally a patrol of a few guards, carrying lanterns and walking through the moon gate routinely.
Two black shadows suddenly grew on the dark courtyard wall, the black shadow looked inside, quietly turned over and entered the garden, and then, several black shadows jumped into the garden over the wall, the black shadow hid in the bushes, carefully observed for a while, the black shadow came out from behind the bushes, jumped lightly over the ground, and pounced into the shadow under the flower bed, and waited for a while, the black shadow pounced from the flower bed to the door.
The black shadow stuck to the door, listened to the movement inside, there was no movement inside, the black shadow did not open the door, turned down, and several other black shadows came out of the shade of the tree under the corner of the wall, and several figures gathered on the edge of the small flower bed, and after a while, two figures rose up and jumped on the roof, and the other figures touched the moon door.
During the whole process, the black shadow did not make a sound, it was lighter than the civet, and in the night, there was still only the chirping of autumn insects, as if nothing had happened here.
The black shadow touched two small gardens in a row, and even entered two rooms to check them, and after leaving empty-handed, he still touched the next garden.
The head of the man in black carefully leaned on the edge of the moon gate, quickly glanced inside, and then waved his hand outside, several people in black immediately dispersed, either hiding behind a tree or hiding under the eaves, and three people dressed in strong clothes and carrying waist knives quietly appeared at the moon gate.
The family members were light and almost silent, but looking at their expressions, they were a little lazy, and they didn't expect someone to invade the manor at this time.
After the inspector passed, the black shadow poked his head out again, and the garden was empty, except for the room at the main entrance, which was lit up, the other rooms were all dark, and there was no human figure in sight.
There are two reflections in the window shadow of the main entrance room, the two of them are sometimes close to each other, sometimes separated, as if they are rummaging for something, suddenly the figure on the left picks up something, lifts it open, and the person on the right also leans over, and the two figures come together.
The black shadow watched silently, looked around again, there was silence all around, even the moonlight disappeared for the most part, and a light mist floated from the river, obscuring the bright light, and a faint fragrance came from the dark night sky, which were the wild flowers on the shore, exuding their charm in the cold night.
The black shadow faintly felt a little uneasy, today was too smooth, they had gone deep into the manor, and searched the two gardens, but they didn't find anything that the owner wanted, and more importantly, there was no one in these two gardens, which was completely different from the intelligence report.
To go in or not to enter? The black shadow was a little embarrassed, if he didn't enter, he would go back like this, he would inevitably be scolded by his master, and he would also be despised by his colleagues, after thinking about it for a while, the black shadow called a subordinate and told them to wait outside first, and he went to see it first.
The subordinates did not argue, quietly retreated to the side, the black shadow was about to enter, suddenly stopped pulling, and hid behind the woods, at this time two black shadows sneaked over from the corner of the courtyard, these two figures did not look tall, a little thin.
The two figures walked and stopped, looking around from time to time, as if they had the same purpose, they were both here to steal something.
These two guys seemed to be more courageous than them, so they walked to the door of the moon, without the slightest intention of hiding their figures, of course, looking at their movements, they did not look like people who have practiced, the two of them looked inside at the door of the moon, and naturally saw the lights and figures, the two of them hesitated, and retreated to the side to discuss.
The black shadow hid not far behind the two of them, and the companion next to him made a gesture, the black shadow shook his head slightly, he planned to use these two people to let these two people explore the way for them.
This dark and light-stard courtyard is very mysterious, which makes him uncertain.
The two little guys muttered for a while, quietly looked inside, and quietly retreated, like three times, the people around the black shadow were a little impatient, and gestured again, killing these two first, and then pounced on them and beat the two inside.
But the black shadow was very resolute and resolutely disagreed, and the guys around him were helpless.
The two little ones waited for a while, and finally got a little impatient, looked at the moon gate for a while, lay on the ground, slowly crawled over, and hid in the bushes in the corner of the yard.
The two little ones were hiding in a good place, which was exactly what he had just noticed, and, because of the presence of these two little ones, if they raided the house, they would definitely alarm the two little ones, and if they shouted and alarmed the guards in the garden, then the matter would be in trouble.
Now it's a problem.
The black shadow regretted a little that it was in trouble to restrain these two little guys in the first place.
The patrolling guards came back again, perhaps because it had been too long, and the three of them were even more scattered, and they walked around the courtyard, and after saying a few words to the people in the room through the door, they turned around and went out through the side door.
The dark shadow stared at the light in the courtyard, and felt a little strange in his heart, what are the people in this room doing at such a late hour?
His heart was excited, he remembered the goal of coming this time, and then looked at the dark corner, those two little guys were hiding there, did they also come here for this thing?
So he decided not to wait, whispered a few words to the black shadow beside him, the black shadow nodded, took out a blowpipe from his arms, he did not go to the moon door, but turned over on the wall, under the wall are two boys, these two boys are staring at the room, the door of the room suddenly opened, there is a person inside to leave, but the person in the room stopped him, said something, this person turned and went in, the door was not closed.
The light spilled out of the room, shining on the stone slabs in the courtyard, and the two of them talked to the door, and from the outside they could clearly see several open wooden boxes, and there were a few stones scattered on the table, these stones were of different colors, some were dazzlingly white, some were dark red, and the shapes and sizes were also different, some large and some small.
The night breeze brought their staccato voices.
“.。 Xiao Zhao Wangye, give a few pieces, Xue... ”
"Much, ourselves. ”
“.。。 This marble ,.。 Ourselves... ”
The black shadow heard it clearly, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and the black shadow lying on the wall blew out a stream of cyan smoke below, this smoke first floated downward, and then floated upward, the black shadow saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly fanned downward, the two children under the wall were very alert, looked up, the black shadow turned over and fell, and a silent palm stunned a child, and sealed the dumb hole of another child.
His movements were fast, from falling over the wall to sealing the acupoint, it only took more than ten seconds, and then he hid behind the bushes, but these few blows had already alarmed the people in the room.
"Who's there?" said an old voice in the room, but the shadow did not answer, and the voice asked in a loud voice, "Who's there?"
The shadow was nervous, and a dart was clasped in his hand, and he was confident that a dart would pierce the man's throat and seal his mouth at this distance.
The chirping of autumn insects could be heard outside the wall, and the dark shadow understood that it was his companions outside telling him not to act rashly, this manor was not what it appeared to be.
In the afternoon, when receiving the task, the above explained that the master of this homeland is unknown, but it is by no means easy to take, and the Zhuang Ding in the manor has also fought with horse thieves on the Western Regions trade route for many years, and they must be careful in this trip.
The dark shadow behind the bushes didn't know, but the leaders outside the wall knew how powerful the horse thieves on the trade route in the Western Regions were, and the people who could still be alive after a few years with them were not just lucky.
The old voice asked twice, but no one answered, he was a little suspicious, and the middle-aged man next to him who looked much younger: "I'm afraid it's a cat, Lao Huang, do you think this is good, with this fire marble, we can open up the situation." ”
"Okay, but the little prince and the Xue family want it, and we can't keep a few pieces. Lao Huang's tone was very helpless, and there was a little deep regret.
"I can't bear the children to trap the wolf, that's it, tomorrow they will come to the door, so be it. As he spoke, the young man began to put the stones on the table into the box, and the black shadow saw clearly that this box was not a wooden box, or a simple wooden box, but an iron box, and the wood was covered with a layer of iron sheets, and when the wooden box was covered, the black shadow suddenly felt that the yard was a little cold, and the heat just now disappeared.
The black shadow gasped, daring to love that this fire marble stone still has this kind of function, no wonder the above sent them in to take it down. At this time, his eyes became more enthusiastic when he looked at the wooden box.
The door was closed, and the two people in the room didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and the black shadow looked at the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, he opened his mouth and let out a few chirps, urging his companions outside the wall to start acting.
The companions outside the wall began to move, and the two jumped on the roof, and came from the roof, and the leader came in from the outside with three people, and they did not rush directly into the house, but first lurked in various parts of the courtyard. The leader ran to him and crouched down beside him.
The black shadow coming down the wall was a little anxious, but the leader was not in a hurry at all, he gently patted the child's dumb hole, and the child stared at them, obviously he was very scared, his body was trembling slightly, and his face was full of fear.
"What are you doing?" the leader asked in a low voice, but the child did not answer in fear, and the leader whispered in his ear, "I will not kill you, you say, what are you doing here?"
Only then did the shadow notice that the child looked a little strange, his head was a little big, and he didn't look very coordinated. When the child heard that he would not kill them, his fear disappeared a little, and he opened his mouth to speak, but the leader covered his mouth with lightning speed, and the child became frightened again, and as soon as his body went limp, he was about to fall, and the black shadow grabbed him.
"If you alarm the people inside, you're going to die, understand?"
The child nodded his head repeatedly, trembling all over his body, fear was about to crush him.
"Tell me, who are you, what are you doing here?--18276+d6su9h+10725176-->
