"... Let's not talk about this for now, sir, let's go and tell the young master!" Guozi felt that tonight was really thrilling, and Li Mofu's courage was beyond his imagination, but he also thought that if the person who pretended to be a ghost had not left, wouldn't they be in danger?

Li Mofu nodded. He had already torn open the paper man to make sure there was nothing inside.

"Young Master, let's go quickly. The cat also needs to warm up quickly." Guozi advised again.

Hearing this, Li Mofu stood up. But before they could leave the backyard, Mo Yi hurried over, neatly dressed. When he saw them, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Just now, someone sneaked into the yard and stole the cat out. The young master heard the cat's cry and chased after it anxiously. As soon as he came out, he saw the cat basket thrown into the pond and a paper man lying on the pavilion waiting." Guozi quickly recounted what had just happened.

Mo Yi frowned, "Hurry up and send Mr. Li back to the house. I will handle this matter."

Soon, at Guozi's urging, Li Mofu returned to the bedroom.

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Li Mofu asked Guozi to change his clothes, while he used cotton cloth to wipe the little cat clean, and while wiping, he went under the bed to look for the cat.

As expected, Xiaoju was really smart. It heard the noise again and hid in the place it thought was the safest. Li Mofu's eyes softened a little, and he picked it up and took it to the brazier to warm it by the fire.

"It's okay, everything is okay." Li Mofu sat beside the brazier, touching the kitten's head from time to time and said.

The little cat's fur didn't get too wet this time, because the basket was not half-sunk in the water like last time. But after tossing and turning twice, the little cat felt a little tired.

"Sir, let Guozi come. You should go and rest and don't hurt yourself." Guozi said after changing his pants.

Li Mofu looked at Guozi blankly, "...Hmm..."

Not long after Li Mofu lay down, the sound of many people's footsteps and the light of torches were heard outside, and there were also some voices among the footsteps.

"What's going on outside? Why are there so many noises?" Li Mofu sat up and asked.

Guozi put the cat down and went to the window to take a look. He came back and said, "It must be that Mo Yi woke up the servants in the next yard to patrol the yard, fearing that there were still people lurking."

After listening to this, Li Mofu lay down again. He was not sleepy, or almost not sleepy at all.

If the person who broke in had murderous intentions towards them, someone would definitely die, especially since that person had sneaked into Li Mofu's house twice. If someone really wanted to die, Li Mofu would definitely be the first to die.

Come quietly, take things quietly, and leave quietly.

Few people knew about Li Mofu, but they sincerely suspected that it was the strange old man who was not completely dead. After all, he had kidnapped Li Mofu before and escaped unscathed.

If it really was that old man, it's no wonder that no one else noticed it at all. After all, that strange old man's abilities were really extraordinary.

Li Mofu hugged the pillow, his expression unchanged, but he was thinking: Didn't people in ancient times die young? Why is that old man still alive? What's the point of living so long? He should have died earlier.

He didn't have the force to deal with the old man, nor did he have the ability to find the old man, so Li Mofu could only curse him over and over again in his heart.

Li Mofu's sleep-deprived head began to ache from thinking too much. The warm quilt tried to soothe his restless heart. He curled up in the quilt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

After Guozi warmed the cats, he took them to sleep on the couch. Perhaps the kittens were feeling uncomfortable somewhere, but they were all incredibly well-behaved. They huddled in the new blanket Guozi had prepared for them, licked each other, and then lay down.

The servants who patrolled the yard did not rest all night. They patrolled the yard in groups. Until Li Mo fell down, there were still a few people lined up and walked slowly and quietly in the yard.

After breakfast, Guozi asked Mo Yi for some news from last night, then came back and told Li Mofu, "Guardian Mo said that they still didn't catch the man last night, and the paper figurine was empty and burned."

"They found footprints outside the wall, and they thought it was a young man, but they followed the tracks and found nothing. They asked several households along the way, and they all said they didn't hear anything. Most of them were elderly people, and when they compared the footprints, they didn't match."

Li Mofu scratched the little cat's chin. The little cat had just finished eating porridge and burped. It looked much more energetic than last night.

"It's normal not to find it, it's strange to find it." Li Mofu said.

Guozi brewed some hot tea and placed it on the table not far from Li Mofu. A trace of worry appeared on his face again. "...Sir...where did you get the dagger in your hand last night?"

Li Mofu replied nonchalantly while teasing the cat, "Dagger? Oh, I used it to peel fruit before. I put it away because it looked pretty."

"Young Master, you were too reckless last night. Next time you encounter something like this, it's better to run away quickly." Guozi said again.

Li Mofu nodded indifferently, "Is that man really a young man?"

Guozi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, Mo Yi shouldn't be wrong in this regard."

Li Mofu's expression became a little strange, "Young man..."

Isn't this different from what he imagined?

"Sir, Guozi will sleep with you until you move out. Mo Yi also said that there will be someone patrolling the yard until you move out." Guozi smiled at this and said, "Sir, have you decided where you want to move to?"

"No, let Lu Mingyun decide for himself. By the way, where is he?" Li Mofu then remembered that this yard had an owner.

"The young master came in to see the young master not long after he fell asleep, and then left." Guozi said.

Li Mofu pursed his lips and thought: That man took the risk to sneak in last night. He probably didn't know that Lu Mingyun had already decided to search the yard. He was desperate and acted desperately because he saw that Lu Mingyun was investigating more and more deeply.

Three days later, Li Mofu moved to another yard.

I heard from Guozi that this yard belonged to a wealthy family in Su County. They had no intention of renting it out originally, but later they heard that County Magistrate Lu wanted to rent it out, so they asked people to clear it out, hoping to establish a good relationship.

The place where this courtyard is located is the area where the rich people of Su County live. The alley is clean and quiet, and all along the way are the wealthy families of Su County.

Later, Guozi heard that the person who rented the yard to them was none other than the young man who provided porridge and whom Li Mofu had met before.
