Jiang Yue looked around to see if there was a higher stool.

When the beef and rice noodles were served, Xue Yifu had already pulled out his chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and buried his head in eating. He didn’t notice that Xue Sifu was busy greeting the guests and joking with them. Xue Erfu, Xue Dafu, and Xue Da, were also eating their rice noodles with their heads buried in the bowls. Naturally, they didn’t notice Jiang Yue. Only Xue Yan saw that Jiang Yue couldn’t eat the rice noodles in the claypot at all, and she didn’t want to eat on a stool.

Xue Yan got busy and went to the backyard of the shop. After searching for a long time, he finally found a tall square stool and brought it here.

Jiang Yue glanced at him before sliding down from the bench.

Xue Yan moved the long bench to the side, and then moved the square bench to the table where she had sat.

Jiang Yue could have sat on it immediately, but to prevent others from seeing how agile she was, she stepped on the horizontal bar under the square stool and climbed on it.

Sitting on the square stool, she could finally eat the rice noodles in the claypot with ease.

Seeing Jiang Yue start eating, Xue Yan went back to his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat slowly.

Just as Jiang Yue and the others were eating in the shop’s main hall, a woman in red walked out silently from a corner outside the shop.

The woman held a sword in one hand and a whip in the other.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, she flicked the whip and it immediately wrapped around the waving flag of the shop’s banner. She pulled it again and the flag immediately returned to her hand along with the other end of the whip. Then, she walked into the corner and disappeared.

After Xue Dagui was done with his work in the main hall, he came out and sat at the entrance of the shop to catch his breath. He looked up unintentionally and realized that the banner that had been stuck on the pole was gone. He thought that the wind had blown it away, so he got up and looked around. After looking for a long time, he still couldn’t find it.

Only then did he stop looking and go back to tell Xue Sifu about this strange

“The banner disappeared?” Xue Sifu was also taken aback, and immediately walked out to take a look.

Jiang Yue heard that and followed him out. As expected, there was no sign of a banner on the pole or on the ground.

There were no suspicious people around.

Xue Yan also followed him out, feeling strange.

“That’s strange,” Xue Sifu said. “Why did it just disappear? No one should be holding it. It’s useless for them to use this as a cover. Forget it, forget it. Xue Yan, go back and write a notice for us to hang. Let’s all go in, there’s no point standing here. The wind is quite strong today, maybe it blew on one of the roofs.”

Then, Xue Sifu and the others went in.

Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao didn’t rush in. They looked around and searched the corners, but they didn’t see any signs of a banner anywhere.

Then, Jiang Yue walked into the small alley next to the shop.

Xue Yan followed her in and saw a tree branch in Jiang Yue’s hand. The branch was tied with a rope. It was the tool she made to climb the wall when she went to town to exchange seeds. Xue Yan immediately understood that she was going to the roof to take a look. Therefore, Xue Yan retreated to the entrance of the alley and kept watch for Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was used to Xue Yan’s self-awareness. She swung the branch up and fixed it in place. Then, she climbed up the wall and the roof of her shop.

She was very careful when she went up to the roof, almost making no sound.

She was even more careful when she reached the roof..
