Chapter 68

After tied up the mule, An Shengchang looked at the weedy front yard and said to An Wan'er and Xin Sulan: "Let's go, there's nothing to see in front. Let's go into the back yard to take a look. The secret room is right behind it."

"Um."

"good."

An Wan'er and Xin Sulan responded, and they followed An Shengchang to the backyard curiously.

When he walked to the closed crescent door that separated the front and back yards, An Shengchang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and kept pushing the door in mid-air.

Xin Sulan and An Wan'er also stopped at the same time and looked at each other quickly, both of which looked particularly ugly but did not say anything.

The reason for the three of them was that they all heard something that shouldn't have happened in the backyard.

An Shengchang first reacted and was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he looked through the gap in the door, and his face turned even worse.

He took two steps back, opened his mouth and said silently: "It's a woman drying clothes. It seems that she has lived here for a long time."

Xin Sulan and An Wan'er also went up to take a look.

Pulling An Wan'er and An Shengchang back a lot, Xin Sulan frowned and wondered: "This door lock has not been moved, so how did she move in?"

"Who knows?"

An Shengchang shook her head with a bad look: "Seeing that she is not well dressed, she has also put a lot of patches on the clothes she is hanging. We entered the door for a long time and walked up to her and found her. She hasn't reacted yet. I'm afraid it's impossible that she came over the wall."

The courtyard wall of this house is higher than it is, and there are also many glass slags on it. An Shengchang doesn't think that ordinary people who don't have some skills can come in.

Unless someone with a strong martial arts skill brought her in.

But if you are really a person with high martial arts skills, there is no reason to steal someone else's yard like this, and you still look like you are so poor?

An Shengchang was puzzled. Xin Sulan was almost the same, and she couldn't figure out how that woman got into their house?

"Can it be a dog hole or something?"

After blinking, there was no need to think too much, An Wan'er proposed new ideas for An Shengchang and Xin Sulan.

After all, she has read too many novels, isn’t it all written like this?

Dog hole?

"impossible."

An Shengchang immediately shook his head affirmatively: "Not mentioning the dog hole, except for the door we came in just now, the other doors in this house have been specially built and blocked, and even if they can't kick the door."

"It's hard to say. Even if there is no dog hole, can you still be able to prevent someone from digging out a dog hole?"

However, Xin Sulan agrees with An Wan'er's dog hole.

She said with a serious expression: "Our house has been abandoned for many years after all, and outsiders may not decide whose house this house belongs to. They will not dare to break in because of the vacant place for many years.

But there are still many beggars in this capital. If they accidentally found it empty here, it is hard to say that they would not think of a way to dig a hole under the wall and steal things. Or would they just move in secretly like this?"

"I also think my mother is right, that's it."

An Wan'er nodded in agreement and asked An Shengchang: "Dad, what should we do now? Should we go directly to question them or find Xu Xing, beware that they will be angry and anxious to jump over the wall?"

Although there were women and men's clothes hanging in the yard behind, there were not many. There were only three or five pieces from the inside out. So An Wan'er concluded that the one who sneaked into their house might be a man and a woman.

The woman was washing her hair and draped her hair. She couldn't tell from her bun that she had never married. But judging from her age, it was very likely that the man and the woman were two couples who had not had children.

If the two have children, there is no reason why the clothes that are dried will not be covered with children, right?

"Don't alarm Xu Xing and the others in this matter."

He looked at the crescent door with a dark face. Even if his family had lived in this house and the yard in the future, the clothes and bedding placed outside were not something they had used before.

An Shengchang still has 80% of his confidence that this secret room will not be easily found. However, the house belonging to his home was secretly occupied by people from unknown places, which still made him feel particularly uncomfortable, as if he was stuck in his throat.

So, he said without thinking too much: "We have practiced some internal skills these days, and our strength is much greater than others.

Not to mention just a man and a woman, judging from the clothes they dry, the man is also a thin man. Even if they are all as thick as Lin Qing, we may not be able to beat them even if we come with two or three more."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

An Shengchang's answer was exactly what An Wan'er wanted. She didn't wait any longer and stepped forward to the crescent door.

Maybe An Wan'er didn't save any effort, or maybe it was because of her long-term thoughts and practice, and then the door fell down with a "boom".

As soon as she looked up, An Wan'er faced the woman's panicked eyes at the other end of the door---

“…”

Seeing the woman's frightened look, her face was full of blood. Somehow, An Wan'er suddenly felt a ridiculous feeling that it seemed that her house was not occupied, but her family was the victim. Instead, she became the one who bullied others.

After a moment of trance, An Wan'er came to her senses and asked the woman in a crisp, slow voice, "Who are you? How could you be in my house?"

"You, are you the owners of this house?"

The woman asked back without answering. After asking, seeing An Wan'er and Xin Sulan who were following him, An Shengchang looked at her unhappy. She immediately realized that she was asking a stupid question.

She lowered her head in panic, and she quickly replied with some stuttering words: "I am Chi Lihua from Yexia, Pingyang Prefecture, Chenghua County, Chijia Village. Five years ago, I was flooded with water, and I and my brother escaped with our parents all the way."

Tugging at her clothes, the woman lowered her head so that she couldn't see the expression on her face, but from her sad tone, it was enough to make people feel a little sympathetic to her.

An Shengchang, Xin Sulan and An Wan'er are naturally no exception.

The three of them looked at each other again before glaring at the woman again, and heard her say slowly: "Fortunately, my father is a chef and he cooks a good dish.
