It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 137

Perhaps it was the riots outside the city overnight that caused panic among the people. Jiang Yan felt depressed and desolate as he walked on the main road under the scorching sun.

This time when she returned to the Governor's Mansion, Miss Fu was not even able to enter through the side door. She and her carriage were sent in through the corner gate.

Jiang Yan didn't want to feel the gloom in Fu Nu's heart for the time being. Since returning to Cheng'en Pavilion, she had been busy following Yi Le and the others, from putting away luggage to fetching meals from the kitchen, and in between, she had to exchange information with Chef Sun and Aunt Wang...

When Jiang Yan finished her work and could go back to the house to rest, the moon was already at its zenith and all the candles outside the yard were extinguished.

She sat tiredly on the bench in a daze, and suddenly remembered that she had not yet seen the resettlement conditions of Grandma Sun Yun and others, and did not know what was missing.

Jiang Yan was wavering between not wanting to disturb her late at night and feeling uneasy if he didn't see her. Suddenly, he said to Chunying, who was about to get into bed with disheveled hair, "You should get some rest first. I have to go out for something."

The door is locked at this time... Chunying reacted immediately and made a climbing gesture with her fingers: "Climb the wall?"

Jiang Yan nodded.

"Then you better be careful and don't let anyone find out." Chunying hadn't slept since early morning and had walked more than twenty miles. She was already exhausted. After taking care of Jiang Yan, she fell asleep.

Jiang Yan extinguished all the lamps in the house and the yard, and quickly climbed over the wall under the moonlight.

Several months of living experience made Jiang Yan familiar with the layout of the Governor's Mansion, not to mention that Cheng'en Pavilion had always been a neglected place. There was a lack of lighting along the way leading to the lower courtyard, few guards, and the guards patrolled infrequently. She had a smooth journey.

Damn it! Jiang Yan suddenly felt her hair stand on end. With a curse in her heart, she quickly withdrew her right foot and turned to hide in a secret place.

One, two, three... twenty, twenty-one... Jiang Yan held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen to the sound of something falling just across the wall.

When she counted to thirty-six, the dull thud of footsteps finally stopped, followed by the rustling of footsteps.

"There's a jar over there?" Jiang Yan heard someone commenting in a low voice, followed by a crisp thud as a stone fell into the jar.

Jiang Yan hugged her legs tightly and curled up in the narrow cavity formed by the wall of the tank and the courtyard, praying that they would not be curious and come over to see what was going on.

This time she didn't bring any self-defense weapons, and the group of people who broke in carried several large knives, which reflected the moonlight brightly on the wall of the house, forming multiple dynamic stripes of light.

Jiang Yan maintained this posture until her legs became numb and weak, and then the group of people all left her hearing range.

She moved out from her hiding place, lifted up her left and right feet and shook them quickly. When she regained consciousness, she immediately stood up and ran to the courtyard.

In order to meet the needs of the owner of the Governor's Mansion more quickly, lights were kept on from the main courtyard to the front courtyard until dawn. This provided the bandits with a clear direction and also gave the lower courtyard in the southeast corner some breathing space.

Following the hint from Aunt Wang, Jiang Yan found the Dongshan Village group of four, quickly explained the anomaly to them, and asked them to hide or evacuate first. Then, without caring about the elders' attempts to keep him, he ran back to Cheng'en Courtyard and woke them up one by one from their beds.

The four people from Dongshan Village had just woken up Aunt Wang and Chef Sun who had come to help in the afternoon. They took some necessary items and walked out of the house when they heard the faint sounds of chopping and shrill screams coming from the main courtyard.

Chef Sun shouted "The bandits have broken into the house" three times as a warning, and then quickly left with the elderly people.

They turned left and right and came to a woodshed. Chef Sun asked everyone to move the firewood away. After groping around in the wall for a while, he pushed hard and the gray bricks fell to the ground, revealing a small hole that was big enough for one person to squeeze through.

"go!"
