Chapter 1870 Xiaoyue, wake up! There's a thief!!
Zhang Ran reached under the pillow, pulled out a stun gun, and held it in her hand. She planned to shock the person who came in, then drag them out and deal with them slowly.
The latch was completely removed, and the door was pushed open little by little. Even though the people outside were very careful, the old wooden door still made a very unpleasant creaking sound. Although the sound was very soft, it was amplified several times in the silent night.
"Who!" Fu Qin sat bolt upright in her sleep, looking at the half-open door with a panicked expression. She reached out to push Zhang Ran beside her, "Xiao Yue, wake up! There's a thief!!"
Zhang Ran: "..." Pretending to be woken up, she sat up and looked at the half-open door. While comforting Fu Qin, she got out of bed and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look."
"Don't go!" Fu Qin reached out and grabbed her, afraid that the thieves would hurt her.
Zhang Ran found the flashlight she had placed next to her pillow before going to sleep, turned it on, and shone it towards the front door.
The door, which should have been closed, was half-open, allowing the cold wind to slip in and causing the temperature inside to drop sharply.
Zhang Ran put on her shoes and handed the flashlight to Fu Qin.
Fu Qin took the flashlight from Zhang Ran and shone it wherever Zhang Ran went. When she saw Zhang Ran take an axe from under the wardrobe and walk towards the door, she gripped the flashlight tightly and even held her breath.
Zhang Ran had already hidden the stun gun in his left sleeve, and with an axe in his right hand, he opened the door and went out.
Everything was pitch black as far as the eye could see; there was nothing to be seen.
She turned and went back inside, saying to Fu Qin, who was terrified at the slightest sound, "The person ran away." She wouldn't lie to comfort Fu Qin by saying the door was blown open by the wind; she had to let her know how treacherous this world was so she would learn her lesson. But seeing how easily she was awakened, the wicked person from her past life probably hadn't succeeded.
"We just moved in, and a thief broke in tonight! This thief must be a local!" Fu Qin's mind raced, guessing wildly. "He's probably from Stone Village! If I hadn't woken up in time, all our things would have been stolen!"
Zhang Ran closed the door, got into bed, and said meaningfully, "Teacher Jiang told me during the day that girls in Stone Village would rather marry outside than marry locals, and many bachelors in the village can't find wives."
Fu Qin shuddered. The more she thought about it, the more frightened and regretful she became. She wished she could go back immediately, but she had volunteered to teach in the countryside. If she went back, she would definitely not get her graduation certificate, and all her years of hard study would be in vain.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go find the carpenter again tomorrow and pay him extra to make another door!" What a lousy door, it could be pried open with a single pry!
"Mmm." Zhang Ran lay down, glanced at her still sitting, and said, "Go to sleep. The children are coming to register tomorrow, so we have to get up early."
Fu Qin lay down, but couldn't fall asleep. She wanted to talk to Zhang Ran again, but saw that she had already closed her eyes, so she kept trying to hypnotize herself. She didn't know how much time had passed before she drifted off to sleep again.
Zhang Ran put on her coat, quietly got out of bed, stood by the bed and stared at Fu Qin for a while to make sure she wouldn't wake up, before tiptoeing to open the door and walk out.
She hadn't gone far when she looked into the darkness and suddenly said, "Come out."
A tall figure emerged from the darkness, stood before Zhang Ran, and bowed to her: "Boss."
By the moonlight, Zhang Ran sized up the man before her. He was fully armed, and his face was obscured by night-vision goggles. Suddenly, she asked, "Have you caught him?"
