Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 115 The Rockery Cracks

Before I could find the exit where the smell was coming from, I suddenly heard the sound of machinery moving slowly.

The rockery actually shook and cracked, letting in a ray of light, and revealing several torches in the stone mountain.

Sister Feng quickly jumped over the rockery, rolled down into the pond, and clung to the edge of the pond, leaving only her eyes above the water, observing the movements outside.

Several people holding smoking torches led the people behind them out and went silently to the upper house in the main courtyard.

Sister Feng watched the figures disappear before she climbed out of the pool. She wrung out the hem of her wet clothes in her hands, and did the same with her trouser legs. She took off a pair of specially made short boots, poured out the water, tied the boot laces, and slung the boots directly around her neck. She was surprised to find that her cloth socks seemed to have changed color, emitting an eerie reflection in the night.

Her professional qualities reminded Sister Feng that it was not advisable to stay here for long. She took off her wet cloth socks and tucked them into her boots. She took a deep breath and quickly left the main courtyard and came to the tree where they had agreed to meet.

The other three had been waiting in different tree shadows. When they saw Sister Feng’s hair was wet, a woman pulled down her face scarf. This person turned out to be Sister Feng.

: "What's going on?!"

"Something's going on. I have to leave someone behind to clean up for me. I'm afraid I left traces along the way."

"I'll stay, you go ahead and explain the route."

Fengjie explained in detail the route they had just taken in the main courtyard, especially the rockery and the pond.

The three of them immediately left the house separately.

When Wu Mei saw Feng Jie again, she was startled.

"You fell into the lake? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, let's go and talk about it when we get back."

Under the cover of darkness, the two of them quickly left the wall of the Cao family, used the shadows of the house as cover, and quickly returned to the Feng family's straw hut.

All the houses around the hut were in deep sleep, with only the cicadas chirping. After entering the hut, the two men dared not light the lamp, but just whispered quietly.

At this moment, Wu Mei realized that Feng Jie had found the two jars of oil for her. She rashly entered the main courtyard and dived into the pond to avoid the patrol. Today she was soaked all over and had to retreat.

The two of them agreed to go again tomorrow. Wu Mei saw that this was the only way today, so she had to go back and report.

Wu Mei felt her face was a little swollen, her stomach was aching, and there seemed to be some scratches on her body, so she asked Feng Mei to help her go to Cao's Oil Mill tomorrow to find out the daily sales volume. Feng Mei agreed readily.

Wu Mei walked through the streets and alleys in the night, entered a dark alley to pick up the package, and returned to No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

Wu Mei endured the pain and jumped into the yard. She estimated that it would be dawn in less than an hour, so she sat on the bluestone in the backyard and began to take a nap.

The night watch drum sounded, Wang Wendong finished packing and went to the backyard.

Eh? Why did the young master come to the edge of the forest?

Wu Mei felt that it was too late to hide, so she simply did not move. When she and the young master looked at each other in bewilderment, Wang Wendong looked at the girl sweeping the floor with a bruised face sitting in the woods in the backyard and asked,

"Why aren't you sleeping at this hour? What are you doing here?"

"Sir, I got up early and wanted to come here to sort the fallen leaves, but it was too dark and I tripped. I'll sit here and rest for a while. I'll get back to work later."

Go get some medicine to apply on the wound. It looks serious. I'm afraid this won't work. Who are you in charge of now?"

"I belong to the young lady."

"I'll talk to Jin'er later and ask for a leave for you. I think you need to take a break and go see a doctor!"

Wang Wendong kindly comforted him and began to concentrate on looking for his peach wood sword.

"Hey? Why was it inserted here yesterday? Why is it gone?"

Wang Wendong muttered to himself and searched around the woods several times, but found nothing.

"When you were collecting fallen leaves yesterday, did you see such a long peach wood sword in the back garden?"

As Wang Wendong spoke, he compared the length of the sword to Wu Mei. Wu Mei thought about it carefully and shook her head:

"There were only dead branches and fallen leaves, but no peach wood sword was found."

Wang Wendong saw that this side did not turn back to the room.

Let’s just say that when Wu Mei saw the young master leaving, she stroked her face and thought: It does look a little serious!

I'm afraid I won't be able to wait at Cao's Oil Mill during the day anymore, so I can only ask the Feng sisters for help. I have to tell the young lady. After daybreak, Wu Mei continued to clean up the backyard...

Wang Jinyi got up with a slight sweat on his face, feeling the day getting increasingly hot and humid, and was thinking about what else he could do after posting missing person notices everywhere.

When the wet nurse saw the young lady get up, she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes without saying a word. Thinking that the young lady was not fully awake, she threw a cool towel and gently wiped her face and hands.

Wang Jinyi was awakened by the chill. He also felt a chill in his heart and told himself: Don't worry, first make Xunyang Prefecture known to everyone, so that more people will know about "the stars in the night sky".

Then, we will push it out to the counties outside Xunyang Prefecture...

That's it, just have to be quick.

Wang Jinyi thought that her nanny had already changed her into her daily clothes for the day, and she looked in the mirror: a turquoise blouse, an apricot-colored light silk skirt, and two buns on her head, which had turned into two furry little tufts because of the hot weather.

Another beautiful day has begun!

In the mirror, Wu Mei was standing by the door with her head down. Wang Jinyi jumped off the stool and went over to hold Wu Mei's hand.

"Why do you look heavier than yesterday? Wu Mei, what happened? Did someone find out?"

Wang Jinyi was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.

"You guys go out first!

Sister Wu, you must go and see a doctor. It would be bad if you have internal injuries. I will pay for your medical expenses!"

Wang Jinyi held Wu Mei's hand and the two whispered. Wu Mei recounted what happened last night and also told her about how Feng Jie accidentally fell into the water after entering Cao's house.

Wang Jinyi's heart was lifted when she heard this.

After all, the Feng sisters are outsiders, so they must be understood clearly. Although Wen Bai is careful, he cannot leave the house, so he still has to ask Wang Jin to go out and understand the two sisters who appeared by chance.

Wang Jinyi thought to herself that she must not be used by others like her mother. Wang Jinyi was worried and panicked, but she appeared calm on the surface and pulled Wu Mei closer.

"Come on, squat down and let me take a look."

"Miss, I'm not in trouble, you don't have to worry."

"Tell me quickly, why is this getting worse? Zhu Yu, come in."

Zhu Yu responded and entered the room.

"Miss."

"Zhu Yu, can you see if we have any medicine for bruises in our storehouse? I'll pay for it and let Qing Yu keep the accounts. We can just put it together at the end of the month."

"Okay lady."

Zhu Yu responded and looked back at the bruises on Wu Wumei's face as he walked away.

"Miss, there's something strange about the guy in the oil room. He seemed to have noticed that I was watching his house, so he followed me out to warn me."

"Oh, you must be the guy from the oil room, right?"

"Miss, we can't make mistakes when we are face to face."

"Wu Mei, do you know anyone with better Kung Fu? I can hire them. Too much money is not good. I can't afford it..."

"Miss, what do you want to do?"
