Chapter 747 Very suspicious
Chapter 747 Very suspicious
The sound came quickly and disappeared quickly.
It was like a sound breaking through the night sky and then stopping abruptly.
Very abrupt.
Huo Yisheng was alert to the fact that something was wrong. He patted the delicate little wife in his arms soothingly and said softly, "I'll go check it out. Don't get up. It's too cold outside."
Ye Shu nodded and watched him leave, but she felt very curious.
She had good hearing, so she simply concentrated on listening to the noise outside.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and someone was saying, "Don't chase! Be careful of the things on the cart!"
"Cover the area with the tarpaulin, and do it quickly so no one can see it!"
"Ouch, why is this thing broken? My old nose is worth a lot of money!"
"Never mind it, just cover it up first and don't let anyone see it!"
"Tsk, what a bad luck!"
"Why do you insist on asking us to move? We've already spent so much money living here! And that basement? We worked so hard digging it for so long! Now it's full, we have to fill it back up!"
"Shut up! If you keep on babbling, I'll castrate you! Aren't you afraid someone might hear you?"
The anxious, low voices outside instantly died away.
After a while, there was the sound of the courtyard door opening.
Huo Yiting went out and asked, "What's going on?"
Someone outside responded:
"Oh, sorry to bother you, Captain Huo. We're moving, and we have to finish the move within the deadline given by the garrison leaders. We have to work during the day, so if we don't have time to move, we'll move as much as we can at night."
Huo Yiting: "Did you just say there was a thief?"
The man replied, "Yes, there was a little thief who stole two of our steamed buns and ran away. I guess he's been hungry lately and that's why he's making trouble!"
"We're moving things late at night and it's exhausting, so we only brought two steamed buns with us. But it's okay, it's not a big deal. I saw that the thief was just a half-grown child. I guess he was really hungry, so he ran out to steal the food."
Huo Yiting: "That won't do. A thief is a thief, no matter how small. Moreover, this is near the garrison area, and there are cyclists patrolling the area! If something like this really happens, it is our garrison's fault!"
As he spoke, he blew a whistle.
Soon, a sound of uniform footsteps was heard in the distance.
The people who came were not cyclists, but soldiers from the garrison area.
Others may not understand, but those who understand know that this team is Huo Yiting's trusted experts and will definitely be used by him.
He gave direct orders, asking them to search for the thief.
The man moving the goods in the slum wanted to say something else, but was stopped by his accomplice: "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Let's hurry up and move the things."
So, the group of people greeted Huo Yiting with a nod and a bow, thanked him sincerely, and left quickly.
Huo Yiting suddenly called out to them, "Wait!"
Everyone's movements froze in unison for a moment. Then, the person who had been in charge of the conversation turned around, a polite smile on his face, and said, "Captain Huo, is there anything else?"
Huo Yiting stared at him sharply for a moment, and when he looked up, he suddenly put away his sharp gaze and asked with a faint smile, "I just want to ask you, where did those little thieves run off to just now?"
The man pointed to the right side of the compound and said, "Over there, he was running so fast that I couldn't see what he looked like."
Huo Yiting nodded: "Okay, I understand, you guys go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Captain Huo. Thank you for your help, thank you for your help."
Going out from this road, they will walk with the soldiers for some distance.
When they reached a fork in the road, they turned to the side while the soldiers continued forward.
Only then did they all heave a long sigh of relief.
Someone whispered, "I'm scared to death!"
"My luck is so bad tonight! The almanac must be wrong!"
"Stop talking so much and hurry up!"
"What did that thief just take away?"
"They're a few red gold dragons. Never mind. They're just a tiny bit worthless. If they're gone, they're gone."
"We can't just let it go like this. Could it be that we've been targeted? Otherwise, how could they have just happened to steal from us?"
"Even if he really stole it unintentionally, what do you think he would think when he returns and finds out that he has stolen gold?"
"Humph! Then make sure he never comes back!"
It was very tiring for Ye Shu to concentrate on listening from a distance, so since Huo Yiting opened the door and left, she stopped listening and lay in bed waiting for Huo Yisheng to come back.
The kang was very warm. She covered herself with the quilt and lay on the bed. Soon she fell drowsy.
When Huo Yisheng came back, she was already asleep.
However, the coldness on his body still woke her up.
In fact, Huo Yisheng went to roast a fire before coming here after returning.
Seeing that she was awakened, he quickly moved his body back outside, fearing that the coldness in his body would irritate her again.
Ye Shu was already awake, and noticing his movements, she reached out and put her arm around his waist, exerting a little force, reminding him: "Come in quickly, it's so cold outside, what if you get frozen later?"
Huo Yisheng: "It's okay, I'm cold and it will cool you down."
Ye Shu: "Then you've been freezing outside the whole time, aren't you stupid? Come in quickly, you'll be warm after a while. I just think this kang is a little too hot! You can come and cool me down!"
Although she said so, Huo Yisheng could feel her love and concern for him, and he felt very happy.
He did obediently get into bed, but he didn't dare to hug his wife directly, so he kept a distance from her.
Ye Shu took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, nestling into a comfortable and familiar position. Only then was she satisfied, and then she asked, "What's going on? You seemed to be out very late, and I fell asleep for a while."
Huo Yisheng: "Well, the people in the compound across the street are suspicious. I asked Xiao Gao's people to follow and investigate."
So, Ye Shu told him some of the conversation he had heard.
Huo Yisheng keenly captured several key words: "basement" and "valuable".
His eyes suddenly turned dark, and he said, "Okay, I understand. Go to bed quickly. It's very late."
Ye Shu remembered something else: "How is Mr. Huang living in your dormitory?"
When arranging the house, Huo Yisheng wanted to arrange for Mr. Huang to live in the house at the very edge of the main house. Anyway, all the main houses in the row belonged to his family, and their houses were vacant for the time being, which was just right for Mr. Huang to live in.
However, Mr. Huang refused and asked to live in the cycling team's dormitory.
The cycling team and the soldiers in the garrison area were not in the same camp. They had set up a temporary camp and he lived with the soldiers.
I usually chat with the kitchen staff, cook, and teach the medical soldiers in the team how to do acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, etc. My life is much more fulfilling than Ye Shu's.
