Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

The next day, Butler Bai came to the door as expected, holding the trap that Nanchun had set on the mountain.

"Butler, the roads are slippery in the snow. Why did you come here in person?" Song Amei hurriedly moved out a stool for him to sit on.

"Where's your boy?"

"Ah Chun is in the room, Ah Chun, come quickly, the housekeeper is here."

Nanchun walked out and saw the trap in the hand of Butler Bai, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, butler, isn't this the trap I set up in the mountains? How come it's here with you?" He said as if nothing had happened.

"You... didn't go up the mountain today?" Bai Shan looked at him suspiciously and asked.

Nanchun shook her head and said, "No, it snowed all night. My mother was worried that it was unsafe in the mountains, so she didn't let me go."

"Yes, Achun has been helping me clean the house at home, and she was just helping me wash clothes." Song Amei smiled and wiped her hands with her apron.

Bai Shan's eyes fell on the pile of washed clothes behind her.

"Okay, then don't go up the mountain for the next two days. A murderer escaped from the prison and may be hiding in the mountains. Your house is closest to the mountain and there are no other houses nearby. You and your mother must keep the doors and windows closed at night. If someone knocks on the door, don't open it and don't answer." Bai Shan handed him the trap and said.

"Murderer? So scary!" Nanchun stepped back in fear.

Song Amei said worriedly, "Housekeeper, please arrange for more people to be stationed around here. If that person really comes, we, an orphan and a widow, won't be able to resist him."

"Don't worry about that. The head of the family has already arranged the situation. I will send a few more people to patrol this area later."

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble." Song Amei said gratefully.

After the butler left, Nanchun went to the back of the house and moved some wood.

"Mother, use this to block the door at night."

Perhaps because he was very nervous, Nanchun didn't fall asleep as quickly or deeply as usual when he lay in bed. He was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

So when he heard footsteps behind the house, he woke up immediately. He got out of bed quietly and took out the axe he had prepared in advance from under the bed.

Fortunately, it was winter and there was snow on the ground. His feet made some noises on the snow. Otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed anyone approaching. Nanchun didn't dare to breathe, listening carefully to the footsteps.

A figure appeared on the window, and then the window shook slightly. The man tried carefully several times, but failed to push it open.

"over there!"

"Don't run!"

It must be the patrol team from the village coming, the footsteps outside became noisy and chaotic.

At this moment, the window shook violently, and suddenly a yellow paper package was stuffed in from the window gap, and then the man fled in panic.

Nanchun opened the yellow paper package in the moonlight coming through the window, and found a small black object inside.

The patrol team's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Nanchun quickly grabbed the thing and climbed onto the bed, pretending to be sleeping.

"The footprints are heading up the mountain, chase them!"

"Let's go, follow behind."

Gradually, the footsteps faded away. Nanchun covered his pounding chest and let out a long breath.

What exactly is that black thing?

In his previous life, he didn't know that the murderer had ever been near his home, nor had he seen this black thing.

but……

What if it happened, but he fell asleep and didn’t know it?

This is very possible.

He was a very deep sleeper, and this level of noise wouldn't necessarily wake him. So it was possible that this had happened in his past life, but he didn't know about it.

However, he had definitely never seen this yellow paper package before.

What if the murderer threw it in and someone picked it up?

Outsiders rarely come to the Nan family, and even if they do, they cannot enter Nanchun's house.

If it were A Niang, she would definitely tell him.

Nanchun stayed awake all night and got up at daybreak. He crawled under the bed, took down a brick from the wall, and stuffed the paper bag inside.

"Mother, did you hear anything last night?"

Song Amei was cooking. She shook her head when she heard this: "No."

"Oh, the murderer probably didn't come to our side." Nanchun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Bai came.

"Did you hear anything last night? Did you see anyone?"

"No." Nanchun shook his head and said.

"Butler, hasn't the thief been caught yet?" Song Amei wiped her hands with her apron.

"He's been caught, but he's dead." Bai Shan looked into Nanchun House and said, "Can I go in and take a look?"

Nanchun said hurriedly, "Please come in."

correct!

In the previous life, Butler Bai also came here like this and asked them if they had heard any noise or seen anyone.

Then, like now, he entered his house.

At that time, his mother poured hot tea in the main hall and asked him to serve it to the housekeeper Bai, so he went out to serve the tea.

When he came back with the tea, Butler Bai was opening the window and looking out.

Nanchun frowned slightly.

Could it be that the paper bag was taken away by Butler Bai in the previous life?

"Achun, come and serve tea to the butler." Song Amei shouted.

"Hey, butler, please wait a moment. I'll bring you some tea."

After saying this, Nanchun walked out, but her eyes were still on the butler.

Sure enough, the butler walked a few steps in front of the window with his head down, as if looking for something.

Nanchun's heart was beating like a drum.

"Butler, please have some tea."

"Hey, yesterday... you really didn't notice anyone approaching? I saw footprints outside your window. The patrol team also said yesterday that the murderer had stayed in front of your window." Butler Bai looked at him without blinking.

"Really not. To be honest, I sleep very deeply..." Nanchun scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Housekeeper, our Ah Chun has always been a very good sleeper," Song Ah Mei said with a smile. "It's a good thing he's a very deep sleeper, otherwise he would be scared to death! Fortunately, the murderer is dead, so we don't have to worry anymore."

"Well, but you're close to the mountains, so you still have to be careful. Wild animals have a hard time finding food in the winter, so they might come down the mountain and disturb us." Bai Shan smiled. "Okay, I'm leaving. Let me know if you need anything."

"Stay for dinner before you leave!" Song Amei urged.

"No, no, I have things to do at the house and I can't leave."

Looking at Baishan's departing back, Nanchun felt that this matter seemed not so simple.

In his previous life, he didn't think Baishan's behavior was strange, he just thought he was a very nice person.

But now that I think about it, it's really strange. The person is already dead, and he still comes to check. Isn't this unnecessary?

And he looked like he was looking for something.

In the afternoon, Nanchun heard that the patrol team was still wandering around the mountain, apparently looking for the murderer's hidden weapons.

Nanchun felt uneasy.

He seemed to be in big trouble.

That black mass thrown in by the murderer might be very important.

I have to find a chance to meet Bai Xun and ask him about it.
