Chapter 172: Using Abilities
Another week had passed in a flash. Luo Qiao thought about her two submissions, which still hadn’t received any replies. Perhaps they weren’t interested. If she didn’t hear back in a few more days, she would have to think of another plan.
She planned to make another trip to the city in the coming days to find someone to tidy up the house according to her preferences, so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed when school started.
After dinner that day, after Lu Yichen and Shitou had left, a sneaky figure avoided Lu Yichen’s house and took a path leading to Luo Qiao’s yard.
After carefully inspecting for a long time without finding a suitable place to enter, the figure circled the house and thought it might be easier to enter from the male educated youth’s side. Unfortunately, while the idea was good, reality was harsh.
There was no one living on the male educated youth’s side, and some parts of the outer wall had collapsed. However, the yard where Luo Qiao lived had been fully repaired. Gao Rushen finally managed to climb over the wall from the male educated youth’s side.
But he couldn’t climb over the wall between the male and female educated youths’ yards. So, he started looking for a place within the yard where he might cross over. Without watching his step, he stepped on some firewood left by the educated youths in the corner.
Luo Qiao was in the kitchen when she heard the sound just as she was about to go to bed.
Luo Qiao pretended not to hear, turned around, went back into the house, blew out the lamp, and lay down on the kang. She listened to the sounds outside. After a while, she heard someone jump into the yard.
Peeking through the door, she saw that the intruder was Gao Rushen, the younger son of Gao Shunyi. She sneered inwardly, “You walked right into this yourself; don’t blame me for being rude.”
She quietly unlatched the door, took out some prepared knockout powder from her space, originally meant for a trip to the deep mountains to search for valuable items, but now it had a different use. As soon as Gao Rushen pushed open the door, Luo Qiao threw the powder at him, held her breath, and retreated into her space, waiting for what would happen next.
Outside, Gao Rushen called out, “Wife, I’m here.”
But soon after, there was a thud. Luo Qiao knew it had worked. She picked a tomato from her space, ate it, then put on the gloves she used for work and stepped out of her space.
She kicked Gao Rushen hard, hearing a crisp sound of bones breaking. She dragged him into her space, left the yard, and erased any traces at the spot where he had jumped over.
Then she opened the gate leading to the educated youth courtyard, used a flashlight to find where he had walked, activated her abilities to clean up the entire yard, and returned to her own yard. She didn’t forget to tidy up the gate in between.
After everything was taken care of, she directly opened her own yard gate and headed towards the mountains. She threw the person by the edge of the pool, whether he lived or died was up to fate.
When Luo Qiao returned, she saw a flashlight on the path below the slope and made up her mind. Instead of going home, she walked towards the light.
She picked up a few rocks from the ground, hid, and waited for the person to approach. When they did, she threw several rocks. The path was narrow and steep, and Li Xiulan’s scream echoed through half the village.
Seeing that she had fallen quite hard, Luo Qiao left quietly, closed the yard gate, and went home to sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, Luo Qiao was awakened by the noise outside. When she stepped out of her room, she heard someone knocking on the yard gate.
Yawning, Luo Qiao opened the gate and saw the village secretary with others standing outside. Frowning, she asked, “Secretary, is there something urgent for you to come so early?”
