Chapter 145 – Is He Going to Turn into a Wolf?
Gu Yu briefly recounted the events of the night. After he finished speaking, Gu Qingheng nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Qingheng was relieved to know that the monster had been caught.
Thinking that it was getting late, he didn’t want to disturb them any further and decided to discuss the monster in detail with his brother-in-law tomorrow.
Also, about setting fire to the Old Yang family’s house… he wondered how Little Black was doing, it was making him look forward to it!
As for Gu Yu, after sending his brother-in-law away, he looked up and saw Mengyao’s eyes shining brightly. Gu Yu unconsciously shivered, a bad feeling always lurking in his heart.
Was his little wife going to turn into a wolf?
Alas!
It seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night…
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up quickly! The sun is already shining on your buttocks, why aren’t you up yet!”
“Just a little longer, I’m so sleepy!”
“You guys didn’t come back that late yesterday, why are you still so sleepy! However, brother-in-law, you are the type of person who is always sleepy no matter how much you sleep, so I’m not surprised at all!”
“Go, go, go! Your sister kept me up all night yesterday, my body is about to fall apart!”
“Brother-in-law! I’m still a child, is it really okay for you to tell me this…”
The next morning, Gu Qingheng excitedly rushed over, only to see Gu Yu still sleeping in. He was speechless.
Even though he was staying at the county office, his brother-in-law could still sleep in, he wasn’t picky about places.
However, when he heard what Gu Yu said next, Gu Qingheng immediately rolled his eyes, wondering if his brother-in-law had to be like this!
Moreover, didn’t his brother-in-law say he wanted to persevere?
Saying this now, could it be that his sister had succeeded?
“I’m talking about serious matters, where are you thinking! After we returned last night, I played a game of cat and mouse with your sister. Your sister was the cat, and I was the mouse. It was too tiring!”
Recalling what happened last night, Gu Yu sighed, wondering when this kind of day would end!
If he was tossed around by his little wife a few more times, he would probably really have to surrender!
“Brother-in-law, you must be strong-willed! Even if my sister wants to do this and that to you, you must not yield, you must bravely resist evil forces and write a new…”
“Gu Qingheng, I didn’t see you just now, so you ran over here.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s dejected appearance, Gu Qingheng couldn’t help but comfort him. As he spoke more and more excitedly, Mengyao’s voice suddenly came from behind, immediately stopping Gu Qingheng’s words. He thought, my sister hasn’t left yet!
This is bad, I’ve been caught!
“Hehe, Sister, you haven’t left! I wanted to ask brother-in-law to eat together!”
“I just got back. When you came in, I didn’t close the door behind me.”
He grinned at Mengyao, and Gu Qingheng quietly moved towards the door as he spoke, wanting to slip away quickly before Mengyao noticed.
However, Mengyao was well aware of her brother’s intentions, so she directly grabbed Gu Qingheng by the collar, preventing him from escaping.
Seeing the bright smile on Mengyao’s face, Gu Qingheng’s heart sank. He thought he was definitely going to die today!
“Brother-in-law, shouldn’t we go back now!”
At this moment, Gu Qingheng immediately sent a signal for help to Gu Yu, wanting his brother-in-law to speak up and solve his sister!
As long as his brother-in-law spoke, his sister would obediently listen.
When Gu Yu saw his brother-in-law’s pitiful expression, he found it quite amusing. However, he was also worried that Gu Qingheng would say anything in a hurry. If the matter of setting fire to the Old Yang family’s house was exposed, it would be bad.
“Cough, cough, we should go back. The land issue hasn’t been resolved yet, and the village chief might come to find me today.”
“Are we leaving now?”
“Yes, come again later!”
Hearing Gu Yu say they were returning to the village, Mengyao was a little surprised, clearly not expecting to leave so soon.
Originally, Mengyao thought Gu Yu would catch the murderer before leaving, but who knew… Gu Yu was only here for one day and had to go back to deal with the land issue.
However, thanks to Gu Yu, it was good enough to catch the monster.
Moreover, the land issue would be resolved soon, and then she could devote her full attention to the case.
After Gu Yu spoke, Mengyao didn’t continue to argue with her brother. While Gu Yu was packing, she went to inform Magistrate Bai. Afterwards, when Mengyao returned, the three of them walked out of the county office.
Gu Yu was still a bit sleepy. In his tired state, he didn’t have much anticipation for the scene of the Old Yang family’s house being burned. Instead, he took Mengyao and Gu Qingheng for a walk around town, bought some small trinkets, and then headed back towards Yang Family Village.
“Brother-in-law, you only gave a brief description yesterday. Tell me the details!”
“What detailed description? Nothing much happened yesterday, we just caught the monster and sent it back to the county office, and then we came back.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
On the way back, Gu Qingheng was depressed as he recalled what had happened last night.
Although he had woken up early this morning wanting to see the monster, he was told… that the magistrate had already transferred it to a safe place and he couldn’t see it for the time being.
This made Gu Qingheng regret it immensely. He thought he shouldn’t have gone back to sleep yesterday. Even if he was stopped by the bailiffs, he should have gone to the front of the county office to see what that monster looked like!
He had high expectations, but now he couldn’t see it!
It was really bad luck.
And now, hearing Gu Yu’s simple narration, he couldn’t imagine the scene at all, which made Gu Qingheng regret it even more. He thought he should have gone with them yesterday, so he could have seen the monster’s true appearance!
How could he be like this now, having seen nothing…
“By the way, Qingheng, aren’t you going to the academy today?”
“Director Qingshan had something to do, so he gave us a day off… I told you yesterday, brother-in-law, you didn’t listen to me seriously.”
“Oh, oh, I forgot a bit. Now that you mention it, I remember.”
Gu Yu didn’t believe a single word of Gu Qingheng’s claim that the academy was closed. He thought his brother-in-law must have asked Director Qingshan for leave to see the excitement at the Old Yang family’s house.
However, Mengyao was unaware of this, so Gu Yu wouldn’t expose him at this time.
Let his brother-in-law have a day off!
“Oh my, you guys didn’t see it! Yesterday, the Old Yang family’s house was ablaze with fire, it almost scared me to death!”
“I saw it too. It was shouting and hollering, and many people went to put out the fire!”
“Hmph, in my opinion, the Old Yang family is just wicked and is facing retribution!”
“No way, but it’s also quite bizarre! Because someone saw a bear near the Old Yang family’s house. It’s really scary!”
“Could they have seen wrong? How could there be a bear in our village.”
“I don’t know about that. I heard it was a bear holding a torch that set the Old Yang family’s house on fire.”
As the three of the Gu family arrived near Yang Family Village, they saw three or five people gathered together, excitedly talking about what happened last night. It turned out that the Old Yang family’s house had caught fire!
