Yunyi tiptoed down from the kang bed. After putting on her shoes, she carefully lifted a corner of the window curtain to peek outside.
There was no one in the courtyard, but there was definitely someone outside the courtyard wall.
She didn’t go out. Instead, she gently slid the door latch open and waited in the room.
If the person outside left on his own today, he’d be lucky. But if he dared to enter the courtyard, she would certainly teach him a lesson. She wanted to see who was so bold.
She was almost drifting off to sleep from the wait when the person finally managed to climb onto the wall. However, he just sat there for a very long time, unable to get down. To think he still dared to attempt something nefarious with such clumsiness! She was truly impressed by his nerve.
After another long wait, the person hesitatingly slid down from the wall. When landing, he was so scared that he fell straight onto the ground and didn’t get up for a long time.
When he reached Yunyi’s room and took something out of his pocket, ready to commit his act, Yunyi swung the door open. Just as he was about to cry out in alarm, she chopped him, knocking him unconscious.
After finding a rope, she tied him up and tossed him into her courtyard, then headed to the main gate.
Releasing her spiritual power to sense beyond it, she detected someone hiding not far away. Heh, truly audacious, she thought. It seems they plan to use tricks to make a fool out of me. What a beautiful dream they’re having!
Yunyi leaped out of the courtyard in a single bound. Before the person could notice, she knocked them unconscious, tied them up neatly, and left them right there on the spot.
She returned to her courtyard, dragged out the first captive, and then, one in each hand, threw both men into the village committee’s courtyard.
After that, she made a trip to the Branch Secretary’s house. Seeing a light still on inside, she didn’t knock on the front door. Instead, she went around to the back of the house and knocked directly on the window.
The Branch Secretary inside jumped with fright. "Who’s out there?"
Yunyi spoke up, "Branch Secretary, it’s me, Chuyunyi. Something has happened, and I need you to come to the village committee."
Hearing this, his heart sank. In the middle of the night, this definitely isn’t good news, he thought. "Alright," he said, "I’ll be right there."
When they arrived, the Branch Secretary had just gotten there too. Behind him were the accountant, Lu Dahai, and his son.
