Jiang Yue got down from the bed and peeked through the door with her eyes. When she saw Sanfu take some hay from under the shed, she a.s.sumed that he was going to go to the stables. Sanfu would sometimes go to the stables to see his horse at night, so it was nothing unusual. She then went back to bed and continued to sleep.
Xue Sanfu took some fodder and slowly opened the yard door. He went out and slowly closed the door behind him before going to the stables.
With the help of the moonlight, he could clearly see that the horses in the stables were sleeping on the ground. When they saw him, they immediately stood up.
Shiye’s horse also stood up.
He threw all the fodder into the stables. There were still some in the stables, but the horses were probably not hungry. It was late at night, so the two horses only sniffed and did not eat at all.
He gently stroked the two horses’ manes and prepared to go home to continue sleeping.
However, before he turned around, he noticed that there seemed to be figures on the field very close to the mountain. There were a few of them, and they were moving slowly, as if they were trying to sneak around.
Why were they going up the mountain at night?
The things on the mountain were the workshop, strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelons.
However, there weren’t many strawberries and tomatoes left, and they could only pick a few each day. There were still many watermelons left though, and they could still pick them for some time.
Xue Sanfu felt like something bad was happening, and that it was very likely to be related to the workshop and the things in the field. He had a cold and expressionless look on his face as he strode over to take a look.
The stables weren’t far from Xue Dagui’s house. When Xue Sanfu came to the stables, the two horses stood up and sniffed around. It wasn’t very loud, but it wasn’t very subtle either. It was still quite obvious in the dead of the night. However, Xue Dagui’s loud snoring wasn’t very vigilant in this aspect, so he naturally didn’t hear the noises. However, for Shao Shuting and Shiye, who were a great general and a great warrior respectively, they were naturally very vigilant with the sudden noise.
Shiye had always maintained the habit of sleeping with his clothes on at night, so that he could get up at any time to protect his general. When he heard the noise, he immediately took his sword and jumped out the window to take a look. Seeing that it seemed like Xue Sanfu couldn’t sleep and was feeding the horse, he planned to tell his general. His general was more alert than him, so he must have heard the noise as well.
However, before he could go to the general’s room, he saw that Xue Sanfu did not return, but instead took large strides around the river and into the fields. It was only then that Shiye noticed a few figures in the distance heading up the mountain.
Xue Sanfu had probably discovered those people and went up the mountain to take a look.
Shiye had an idea of what was going on, so he didn’t pursue the matter further. Instead, he jumped into the general i s room through the open window and reported the matter to him in a low voice.
“You should go and take a look too. The things in the fields of Xue Yan’s and
Jiang Yue’s crops. They should be going for the things in the fields.” Shao Shuting lay on the bed and ordered in a low voice, so no one could see his expression. “If there’s anything you need help with, just shout.” “Yes, sir!” Shiye immediately agreed.
Then, Shiye jumped out of the window and tracked Sanfu down.
In another room, Xue Dagui’s snores were still deafening.
Liu Village was not far from Locust Village. Although Liu Guisheng and the others did not come to this mountain often, they still knew where Jiang Yue’s family’s watermelons were planted. The watermelons were big even under the moonlight, their vision was limited, but those watermelons were still very conspicuous..
