Li Ergou and Cui Fatty waited until twelve o'clock in the morning before going to Gu Shichu's house. In order to keep out the cold and build up their courage, they drank a lot before going out.
It was freezing cold at this time, and everyone fell asleep early. The whole village was completely quiet, and even the dogs curled up in their dens and fell asleep early, so there was no more barking.
Li Ergou and Cui Fatty sneaked towards Gu Shichu each holding a sickle. They did not take any poison to stun Gu Shichu. Of course, they could not find the poison, so they took Using the sickle as a weapon, I thought that after threatening and intimidating Gu Shichu, Gu Shichu would obediently take out the money and let them do whatever they wanted.
As for the fact that Gu Shichu usually showed more strength than ordinary people, the two of them didn't care at all. They just thought that no matter how strong Gu Shichu was, he couldn't be much stronger. Could it be that they, two grown men, couldn't defeat her? A little girl?
Besides, she is a young and careless woman. She must have been frightened to death when she saw someone breaking into her home and robbing her. How could she dare to resist? Therefore, Li Ergou and Cui Fatty felt that this matter was under their control, and success was certain.
It was naturally impossible for two people who were such love rivals to come to Gu Shichu's house to check on and monitor him in advance, so they came here stupidly.
At this time, they were standing outside the nearly two-meter-high courtyard wall of Gu Shichu's house, dumbfounded.
"Damn it, why is this courtyard wall so high?" Fatty Cui raised his head and looked at the courtyard wall that was much taller than him and cursed angrily.
"Let's look for any damage and dig a hole in the wall." Li Ergou said, looking around.
Fatty Cui stood on tiptoes vigorously, and his raised fingers could barely reach the top of the wall. He was so angry that he cursed again before he had to agree to Li Ergou's suggestion, so the two of them split up to look for any areas on the courtyard wall. Broken.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they try to find it, the fact is that they will be disappointed.
When Gu Shichu first traveled through time and became the original owner, he started to repair the house and the courtyard wall. Not only did he repair the collapsed courtyard wall in many places, he even raised it by fifty centimeters. The top of the wall was also inserted with reference to the practices of later generations. There were a lot of broken glass and thorns picked up. If anyone dared to climb the wall, they would be stabbed to death.
After searching for more than ten minutes, Li Ergou and Cui Fatty walked around the courtyard wall and finally met.
"Did you find it?" Cui Fatty asked Li Ergou tremblingly. The weather was so cold that white steam came out of his mouth whenever he spoke. It didn't go well at the beginning, which made him feel unhappy because of the cold. More irritable.
"No, no, this courtyard wall has been renovated, right? I took a look at it when I passed by before, and it's obviously not as new as it is now..." Li Ergou said with a confused look on his face.
"The Gu family is so poor, how can they still have money to build a wall?" Fatty Cui said sarcastically.
"But... isn't he quite rich this year?" Li Ergou said weakly.
Fatty Cui was choked by his words and was speechless. Aren't they just trying to rob Gu Shichu because he had money and food?
"Can you pick a lock?" Fatty Cui asked angrily, "You can't climb over the wall, you can only pick the lock!"
Li Ergou was a little embarrassed. He usually just sneaked around the village and had never learned the skill of opening locks. After all, most of the people in the village did not lock their doors during the day. While working, he could sneak in and steal things without him having to open or pick the lock.
"I won't..." Li Ergou said with a sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked face.
"You can't do this, you can't do that, you can't do anything, what's the use of you?" Fatty Cui hates that iron can't become steel, and can't count on Li Ergou, so he has to go up and study the lock of Gu Shichu's courtyard door. .
Gu Shichu's lock looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact it has a complex and twisted structure. It was collected from her previous world. It can't be opened without a key. No matter how proficient a locksmith is, no locksmith can successfully open it unless it is... Blow up the lock with a powerful bomb. Of course, the bomb that can blow up the lock can also blow up the door, so it's better to just blow up the door.
"Damn it! What the hell kind of lock is this?" Cui Fatty inserted a small branch into the keyhole to blindly pick it. However, he had no idea. With a little force, the small branch broke inside, which made Cui angry. The fat man just wanted to curse.
He tugged hard on the lock, and the lock bounced back and hit the door with a bang, startling both of them.
Li Ergou quickly called out to him: "Shh! This is too noisy. Let's not pick the lock, let's climb the wall."
"How do you climb so high?" Cui Fatty asked with eyes like bull's eyes.
"You squat on the ground first, and I can climb up the wall by stepping on your shoulders. When I reach the top of the wall, I will reach down and pull you up." Li Ergou finally came up with a solution with his long-awaited brain. "Brilliant tips."
Fatty Cui couldn't think of a way by himself. At first glance, Li Ergou's method sounded good, could be implemented, and had a high chance of success, so he immediately agreed, but he refused to give in to others. There will be a fight over who can climb up first: "Why do you want me to squat down and let you step on me when you go up first? I want to be the first to go up!"
Li Ergou looked at Fatty Cui's fat and strong figure, and then at his sickly bamboo pole figure. He wanted to say that he was afraid that Fatty Cui could break all his bones because of his flesh, but at this time, he was not with Li Ergou. When Fatty Cui was arguing, and he was more anxious to go in and find the money, he agreed to let Fatty Cui go up first, risking his bones being stepped on.
Fatty Cui saw that he was squatting against the courtyard wall in compromise, and then he walked over proudly. Without saying a word, he stepped on Li Ergou's shoulders, and tried to climb up with his hands.
Li Ergou's small body was supporting Fatty Cui's weight of more than 200 kilograms, and his face was ferocious with patience, and his whole body was trembling.
Before he could adapt, Fatty Cui above him suddenly let out a scream, and then his round body fell backwards, falling to the ground with his back hunched over and his hands raised in the air, wailing.
Li Ergou was startled and hurriedly rushed over to cover Fatty Cui's mouth: "Hush! Hush! Don't scream! People will hear you!"
Fatty Cui shook his head and tried to shake off Li Ergou's hand. Li Ergou was stunned because he was afraid and held it with all his strength, but he actually didn't let Fatty Cui shake it off.
Li Ergou scolded Fatty Cui in a warning voice again. Only then did Fatty Cui remember where he was at this time, so he had to grit his teeth to hold back his cry of pain.
"Let's go! People inside must have heard it." Li Ergou felt guilty and afraid and wanted to leave.
But it was too late.
Gu Shichu heard Fatty Cui's scream. Although it was far away, it wasn't too loud and it disappeared quickly, but she immediately opened her eyes, pushed Ji Mingtao away vigilantly, put on her clothes and got up. Ji Mingtao was drowsily asleep and asked her, "Why are you up?"
