C23 Have a Great Deal of Interest

Xiao Ya suddenly twisted her body and mysteriously put her mouth close to my ear as she said this with a light laugh.

"That's not stealing. It's stealing people."

She spoke softly and with a laugh that puzzled me. There was absolutely no need to steal from my heart. Besides, my distant sister-in-law had just gotten married and didn't have any children, so the story of stealing from her was really beyond my imagination.

"Sis, can you say something that I understand? I only know how to steal, I really don't understand what it means to steal."

There was something I didn't quite understand as I told the truth.

There was a very light bird cry, but it wasn't the sound of a bird. It was the sound of the man squatting on the wall learning to sing, but his eloquence was too poor to fool anyone. I knew that it was a human sound, and it definitely wasn't the cry of a bird.

"Do you understand now? That man is sending a signal to my sister-in-law. If my guess is correct, the lights in the west wing will light up in a few minutes. "

Xiao Ya whispered as she pointed at a house on the west side of the courtyard.

In fact, the west wing was where my distant sister-in-law lived, and when she was married, I went to that room, which was not very spacious even though it was a bridal chamber. It was only after his cousin had been away for two years that he had managed to accumulate enough money to build a new tile house.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't understand the logic behind stealing people. However, I realized the terror of men and women eloping. In our village of dozens of families, several wives who had not been married long since I could remember had suddenly disappeared. The most common rumor was that he had run away with a man from another village, but it wasn't the act of stealing that Xiao Ya had mentioned.

"Sis, do we need to quickly explain the situation to Fifth Uncle? What if they really elope? "We're going to be sinners!"

I urged, thinking of the fear of elopement.

Fifth Uncle's old house is just over the slope. If Xiao Ya and I were to get up immediately and move, we would definitely be able to stop her before she eloped with that man. However, I am not sure if I can stop it, because I have heard that some of the wives, even when stopped by their own husbands, have not changed their minds.

"You really are an idiot. This isn't called eloping, it's only stealing. Moreover, this kind of thing can only be known by you and me. You absolutely can't let Fifth Uncle and the others know about it, nor can you alarm them." "If Fifth Uncle knew about this, she would definitely be too ashamed to meet people. By then, it will not be a simple act of stealing people, and someone might have died."

Xiao Ya spoke softly as she walked with her body hunched over. She pulled me to the back of the hill, completely out of sight of the man who was squatting on the wall. However, I didn't understand what Xiao Ya was going to do next. I didn't think too much about it, because I gradually understood that stealing people was definitely a shameful thing.

Creak. There was a light sound, and I quickly determined that it was the sound of the door slowly opening. Although I could no longer see the courtyard beneath the slope, I could already guess that it was definitely the sound of the door that my sister-in-law's room made when she pushed it open.

"Sis, did sister-in-law open the door?"

I tilted my body and looked at Xiao Ya. At this moment, I seemed to have some thoughts in my mind, but it wasn't particularly clear. I just felt that it wasn't directly related to my elopement.

"That's right. It's that sister-in-law who pushed open the door. Besides, that man must have entered her west room." However, I think we should take a look to see who that man is. "

Xiao Ya's frown made her look especially calm, as if she wasn't worried or in a good mood. Instead, she seemed to be in a very mysterious mood.

Actually, from the very start, when I saw that man's figure, my heart was extremely anxious. I always wanted to know who that man whose face couldn't be clearly seen was. However, it was because Xiao Ya mentioned that she was stealing people that I forgot about my plan to confirm her identity. However, when Xiao Ya brought it up again this time, it was even more obvious that she was trying to provoke me, and she really wanted to get to the bottom of it. Of course, my thoughts and one important thought was to find out exactly what I was doing, what I was doing in the middle of the night, in the middle of a room with a man and a woman, and what I wanted to talk about, and these were the things I wanted to find out the most.

After making up my mind, I nodded to Xiao Ya.

"That's right, that's right. I also want to see who that man is. I also want to know what sister-in-law wants to do by stealing people."

As I said this, I took a flustered step forward. Just as I took a step forward, I was pulled back by Xiao Ya.

"If we can't do it now, they'll easily notice us. They'll turn off the lights and go to bed in a while. At that time, the noise from the outside will not attract their attention."

Xiao Ya spoke with a firm and unwavering tone, as if she was very experienced. Under the moonlight, there was even a hint of red on her face that made it difficult to discern her emotions.

I looked away from her face and squinted out over the slope. The figure of the man who had been crouching on the wall was gone. However, a dim light could be clearly seen from the window of the room where his sister-in-law lived.

"Sis, the lights in Sister-in-law's house have indeed been turned on, and the man squatting on the wall has disappeared as well. It's possible that we really did get into Sister-in-law's house."

When I withdrew my gaze, I tilted my head and looked at Xiao Ya's face very seriously.

In reality, my words have already attracted the attention of Xiao Ya. Although she didn't show any movement, the flush on her face quickly disappeared.

"Are you sure you can climb the wall? We are going to listen to the wall. "

Xiao Ya asked in a soft voice as she walked out from the slope, as if she was certain that she wouldn't be discovered.

I was stunned. I didn't know how to answer, because I had never been able to do that before, and I had never tried to do it.

Most of the rural courtyards on the Loess Plateau were built with the help of the terraced fields on a natural mountainside. In order to save effort and investment, they would sometimes depend on the hillside to avoid a wall. Moreover, all of the courtyard walls were not very tall because they had to consider the future construction of the house and needed to be rebuilt. They belonged to the temporary courtyard wall.

Glancing at the new wall of my sister-in-law's house from a distance, I felt that it was not a problem. Furthermore, I looked to the east and saw a flat area that was higher than the courtyard. If I couldn't climb the courtyard wall, I could slide down from that higher area.

"Sis, I'm fine. Let's go listen to the wall and see what they're doing."

After finishing with a firm attitude, I couldn't help but take a big step forward, because I really had too many mysteries. Previously, because he was in school, he didn't know much about the people and matters of the village. Moreover, he had only heard rumors that had no beginning or end. When I get so interested in stealing people, I can't settle my anxious mind at all.
