The alley is not wide, only three feet.
On the left is a high wall, and on the right are courtyards that are close together. There are courtyard gates at regular intervals.
Being able to own such a single-family house in Nanming City is considered a status symbol.
Yang Yu led the child and walked through thirteen small courtyards before stopping in front of a pair of vermilion gates. He took out the key, opened the courtyard door and walked in.
Then he closed the courtyard door, hung up the bolt, and walked towards the main room as usual.
The child was holding a candy figure and lying on a bamboo chair in the yard, enjoying it happily.
Suddenly, the child turned his eyes and looked at an old tree beside the courtyard wall. At the base of the old tree was a two-foot-sized, oval-shaped stone.
The stone looks to be in good quality, and its sky-blue surface contains white clouds, just like the clouds floating in the blue sky.
The child stood up from the chair, put the candy man aside, quickly came to the foot of the old tree, and started to move the strange stone.
But unfortunately, the stone seemed to be heavy. No matter how hard he tried, the strange stone would not move at all.
The child pouted and could only sit back on the chair angrily.
Snapped! Bang bang!
At this moment, several knocks on the door suddenly came from outside the hospital, making the child startled: "Who is it!"
"Xiao Cheng, open the door, daddy is back." A man's voice came from outside the door.
The child was overjoyed when he heard the sound and quickly shouted into the house: "Mom, daddy is back. I can't reach him. Come out and open the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yu trotted out of the house, opened the courtyard door, and asked in surprise: "Why are you back so early today?"
Standing outside was a man in blue and black uniform, with a face in his thirties and nearly forty years old.
This is Yang Yu's husband, the bodyguard of the city lord's palace, You Zha.
Youzhao smiled lightly when he heard this, "I suddenly remembered something, so I came back to take a look..."
As he said that, he looked towards the courtyard wall. When he saw that the strange stone was still there, he immediately became happy and walked over quickly to grab it from the air.
Of course he came back for this strange stone.
He picked up this strange stone by accident. He always thought it was just a prettier pebble, so he put it in the flower bed for decoration.
Even when the city lord's palace hired someone to promote it, he didn't think about it. He was still muttering secretly about what the flowing cloud stone looked like.
But today, when the city lord suddenly summoned them and took out stacks of reward notices with portraits of flowing cloud stones and asked them to go out and post them, he remembered that he seemed to have such a stone.
So, taking advantage of the free time to post the notice, I hurriedly ran home.
You Zha carefully wiped the soil at the bottom of the flowing cloud stone and put it into the storage bag very preciously.
Seeing this, Yang Yu walked over slowly and asked puzzledly: "Husband, what are you doing with this?"
"You don't understand, this is a treasure... With this, your husband and I will become rich." You Zha said with a smile.
"Have you made a fortune?" Yang Yu was also delighted, "Then congratulations to my husband."
"Haha, we are all happy together. You go out and buy something good and come back. Let's celebrate tonight. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." You Zha said, suddenly rolling his eyes and grabbing Yang Yula came over and kissed him hard.
Then, ignoring Yang Yu who was blushing with shame, he ran towards the courtyard gate in a flash.
"I hate it, the child is still here!"
Yang Yu stamped her feet, her face full of happiness.
Bang! ! !
However, before Yang Yu could calm down, there was a sudden muffled sound outside the courtyard door, and then, a figure flew back from outside and fell heavily into the courtyard with a clatter.
"Husband!"
Yang Yu's face changed drastically, and she screamed and ran towards the man lying in the yard vomiting blood.
If it wasn’t You Zha, who could it be?
However, before You Zha could get up, a middle-aged man wearing a blue embroidered robe followed him into the courtyard. With a wave of his hand, the courtyard door was slammed shut.
"You, who are you!" You Zhao stood up with Yang Yu's support, holding his chest.
As a guard of the City Lord's Mansion, he did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, and was even still angry at this person for provoking the majesty of the City Lord's Mansion.
The middle-aged man glanced at You Zha and then at the child on the bamboo chair: "Little guy, tell uncle, where is the... stone you mentioned?"
Stone?
Hearing this, You Zha finally understood the purpose of this person coming here, and couldn't help but said coldly: "Fellow Taoist, you broke into a private house without permission and beat up the guards of the city lord's palace. Do you know... what the crime should be?!"
"Guard of the City Lord's Mansion?"
The middle-aged man sneered, then waved his hand, and a soundproof barrier disappeared in the sky in the yard, and said sarcastically: "So what, I will kill you right here, will anyone know?"
After saying that, his expression turned cold: "If you are sensible, please hand over the Liuyun Stone. Seeing that I have not committed any murderous crimes, I may be able to spare your lives."
"Otherwise... when I kill this little guy, it will be too late for you to hand over the Flowing Cloud Stone!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man grabbed the child on the bamboo chair in his hand.
The child's neck was pinched out, and he struggled continuously and screamed repeatedly.
When Yang Yu saw this, she immediately screamed and ran towards the middle-aged man, but was pulled back by You Zha.
You Zha said in shock: "Senior, if you have anything to say! If you want a flowing cloud stone, I'll give it to you, just give it to you..."
He finally recognized the reality. He and this person were not at the same level of strength at all. If the other person wanted to kill him, it would only be a matter of waving his hand.
Moreover, what made him despair was that after this person got the Flowing Cloud Stone, he would probably sell it back to the City Lord's Mansion, but he was also a guard of the City Lord's Mansion. If nothing else happened, their whole family would probably not be able to do anything today. Gotta die here.
"Hehe, this fellow Taoist actually wants to eat alone, so he shouldn't go too far!"
Just when You Zha was feeling desperate, a joking sound suddenly came from above the courtyard, and then, three figures landed lightly in the courtyard.
An old man and two middle-aged men, both of whom had weak auras.
"Golden elixir master!"
Seeing a few people leaving indifferently, You Zha and the middle-aged man both looked surprised.
"Senior wants this thing, junior just give in to senior, farewell!"
As soon as the three of them stood firm, the middle-aged man threw the child to the ground decisively, then turned around and walked away, without any trace of the arrogance he had before.
"Hmph! Just leaving as soon as you say it would be too disrespectful of me!"
The old man snorted coldly, grasped it with his five fingers, and flicked it, and a few silver pebbles instantly turned into a line of silver gray and flew out through the air.
Before the man had a chance to react, several silver pebbles came one after another and smashed his head to pieces. The body fell to the ground with blood gushing out.
Yang Yu and the child were so frightened that they trembled...
