Chapter 04: Reading under the Moon
That night, under the moonlight, Lu Yuan came to the courtyard again.
He aimed at the black dog's position and threw a stone at the moment when the other party raised his head.
With a "woo" sound, the black dog fell asleep again.
He walked quietly to the side of the house and listened to the breathing of the people in the house for a while. After confirming that the people inside were asleep, he turned to the inner room with ease, took out the books, and continued to read.
Two hours later, the sky was about to brighten, and a whole bookshelf had been recorded by Lu Yuan.
Before the cocks crowed at dawn, Lu Yuan left the courtyard neatly.

Not long after he left, Dr. Liu and his family also got up.
Dr. Liu came to the courtyard to prepare for washing and brushing his teeth. He noticed that his black dog was different again. When he got closer, he saw that there was another bag on his head.
"Strange, I've never heard of a dog banging its head against the wall..."
After saying that, Doctor Liu also noticed something was wrong. After thinking about it, he put down his toothbrush (ancient toothbrush) and turned to walk into the house. After checking, there was no sign of the bedroom being turned over, and no valuables or money were lost. However, he did not give up. He checked every room until he came to the inner room where the medical books were placed, and then he noticed something.
He took out a book on acupuncture and moxibustion. Because he had read it yesterday, he clearly remembered the location of the book. However, when he looked at it again today, although the location had not changed, the unevenness between the books was different from yesterday, and it was much neater in comparison.
It was obvious that the book had been read!
Someone actually broke into the house after he went to sleep, and the bump on his black dog's head was probably caused by that person.
When he thought of this, Doctor Liu felt a chill on his back.
He immediately wanted to go out and report to the authorities, but he stopped halfway through.
What's the use of reporting to the authorities now? Tell the authorities that there was a thief in his house these two days? The reason is that a book on his bookshelf is in the wrong position?
Let's not talk about whether the government will believe it. Let's just say that after this matter is spread, will the thief know about it, and will the other party do some extreme actions after knowing it.
Thinking of this, Dr. Liu couldn't help but show a sad face. He looked back at the Chinese medicine book in his hand and thought about the purpose of the other party's visit these two nights.
First of all, revenge from enemies can be basically ruled out. After practicing medicine for so many years, he is still confident in himself and his wife's character. The money and valuables in the family have not been lost. The other party flipped through the medical books, either looking for something, or... just reading books.
And he knew the contents of every book here, and he was sure that there were no so-called treasure maps and Jianghu secrets. From this point of view, the last possibility is the greatest.
Thinking of this, a strange look flashed across Dr. Liu's face. Although it was a bit incredible, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
That night, Dr. Liu, lying in bed, couldn't sleep for a long time. Although he felt that his analysis was correct, he couldn't close his eyes when he thought that someone would break into his house in the middle of the night.
So he kept waiting and listening.
However, the whole night passed, and the courtyard was still quiet.
When the roosters crowed outside the window, Dr. Liu's eyes were bloodshot, and the dark eye bags were so scary that Mrs. Liu, who woke up, almost thought she saw a ghost.
"Old Liu, you...did you not sleep all night last night?! What difficulties did you encounter?"
"Nothing, I just...just drank too much tea yesterday."
After dealing with his wife, Dr. Liu opened the door and came to the yard, first checking the bumps on the black dog's head.
There were still two, or to be exact, only one was left, and the swelling had subsided.
He went to the inner room again and found that the traces he had left intentionally yesterday were not disturbed.
In other words, no one came last night.
With this result, Dr. Liu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
At the same time, in an abandoned woodshed on Tanxi Street.
Lu Yuan put away his fists and feet to finish his morning class and prepared to go out to make some breakfast for the two.
The old beggar behind him asked in confusion, "You didn't go out last night?"
"Well, it was cloudy last night and the moon was not visible. It was not suitable for reading, so I didn't go out. What do you want to eat this morning? Or meat buns?"
"Let's just buns."
Time came to night again.
Perhaps because of his age, Dr. Liu, who had made up for his sleep during the day, still felt sleepy.
He wanted to observe for another night, but he fell asleep in bed not long after.
As the midnight arrived, Lu Yuan's figure appeared on the wall again.
Before the black dog could react, he was hit by a stone and forced to fall asleep.
Lu Yuan turned over and went inside. After confirming that it was safe, he continued to read.
When it was dawn, he floated away again.
Dr. Liu, who had a good sleep, walked out of the bedroom with the crowing of the rooster, and saw his black dog lying on the ground with grievance.
He suddenly shuddered, stepped forward a few steps, and found that he was not dazzled. There was indeed a new bump on the dog's head.
He turned and ran to the inner room. Sure enough, the books had been turned over, and through the arrangement he had left in advance, he could even judge where the other party had read.
The other party was really reading!
At least that was the case for now.
After getting the confirmation, Doctor Liu was relieved for no reason.
But then he wondered why the other party didn't come yesterday. Could it be that he didn't show up because he knew he was not asleep?
How powerful must this person be? !
That's right, after all, the man could always knock out his own black dog without hurting it, and he only hit one spot.
At this time, Doctor Liu had already imagined the image of a martial arts master in his mind, and he became more and more entangled about whether to report to the police.
"At least from now on, the other party has no ill intentions." He comforted himself softly.
In the next three days, Lu Yuan visited continuously. One time, after discovering that the person in the bedroom was not asleep, he decisively chose to leave.
Until the fourth day, which was Lu Yuan's seventh visit, if nothing unexpected happened, this was also the last time in the plan. He will finish reading all the books tonight.
As usual, he climbed over the wall and threw a stone to stun the black dog. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he found that the dog's reaction in recent days was very calm.
Lu Yuan, who was close to the house, did not notice that the black dog who fainted in the corner had crystals sliding from the corner of his eyes.
After confirming that Dr. Liu and his family were asleep, Lu Yuan skillfully came to the inner room.
As soon as he opened the door, he stood there.
It was not because he found other people, but because there was a piece of paper on the bookshelf with words on it.
Lu Yuan waited for a while, turned his head and looked at the direction of the bedroom again, hesitated slightly, and then walked into the house carefully.
When he got closer, he could see the contents of the paper clearly:
[Books in my home, I hope you can read them. Also, beggars, please don't disturb the black dog in the house. It is old and prone to mental illness. The old age is miserable. Liu would like to thank you. 】
After reading it, Lu Yuan rubbed his nose awkwardly. Thinking of the dog's reaction in recent days, he estimated that even if he didn't knock it out, it would not bark again when it saw him.
"Oh, you should have said it earlier."
Muttering softly, Lu Yuan looked at the medical books beside the three bookshelves. He thought that Doctor Liu deliberately placed them there, which were all the books in his home.
Lu Yuan was not polite. He picked up the book and went to the window to continue reading.
Two hours later, Lu Yuan closed the last book and breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at the sky and planned to leave.
But before leaving, he saw the letter again.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
