Chapter 117 Late Night Thief

…

"How old is your junior sister? Do you have anyone to date?"

The old woman felt that the closer to the water, the better to get the moon. The relationship between these senior brothers and sisters was closer than the ordinary relationship, and they might be able to get closer, so she quickly asked.

"Well, aunt, you just need to relax and recuperate. My junior sister is still young, so I regard her as my biological sister."

Axing was a little confused when faced with the old woman's question. After some persuasion, he wiped the old woman's thoughts away. He looked at the door blocked by the curtain with a guilty conscience, thinking that it was a good thing that his junior sister was not there.

, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

After experiencing the initial turmoil, the hut returned to calm. Axing went out to buy porridge every night, and the children did some handicrafts at home. And now there was a little red to help, which made it much easier. It was just the old woman's

His health still did not improve, and even after Ah Xing went to see a doctor, he still felt the same, which also cast a layer of gloom on everyone's minds.

Tuk Tuk! Boom~

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"

In the dead of night, the watchman beats his clapper and gong while walking on the road, shouting from time to time to remind people to pay attention to fire prevention.

A figure in the dark kept following him, and when the watchman walked to a house, there was a sudden rustling sound inside. The watchman's movements couldn't help but pause, but when he turned around to look, he resumed his movements.

Calm.

Jing watched the watchman scratching his head in confusion for a while before continuing to watch the watch, but when he was about to look away, he saw a dark shadow flashing quickly through the hollow window in the wall.

"Is there a thief?"

The watchman subconsciously wondered if there was a thief, so he stopped and clasped the clapper in his hand and slowly approached the window to look inside. In his sight, a figure swished through the house and ran into the house.

The watchman walked along the wall to the door of the house. He saw that the door above was ajar. Seeing this situation, the watchman became convinced that a thief was stealing something, so he blew out the lantern in his hand to avoid disturbing the other person.

He gently opened the door and stepped in.

The paint on the door plaque has weathered and fallen off due to exposure to wind and sun, revealing its original brown color. You can vaguely see two large characters written in yellow on it. This is a house that has not been inhabited for a long time. The door of the house has been closed all year round. It is said that the owner of the house

The family moved to the provincial capital. As a watchman in the town, the watchman naturally knew this. At this time, the lock on the door of the house had been opened. It was definitely not normal for the door to be ajar. Anyone who could be a watchman would not be timid.

, so I dared to go in alone to check.

After entering, the first thing you see is this yard that has not been taken care of all year round. The weeds on the ground are as high as your knees. Along the stone road that is almost covered by weeds, the watchman comes to the place where the figure was found just now.

.

I saw the door of the house open, and it was extremely quiet all around. I could only hear the watchman's own breathing. Looking at the deep and dark room inside the door, even the watchman couldn't help but tighten the clasp on his hand, and his heart was beating loudly.

, carefully approach the door and look inside.

The furniture in the house was covered with white cloth, and all that could be seen was a hazy gray, and the figure just discovered was nowhere to be seen.

The areas further inside the house seemed extremely dark due to the lack of lighting. The watchman looked around hesitantly and finally decided to go in and take a look.

Being unable to see his fingers, the watchman was extremely unfamiliar with the indoor environment, so he bumped into some furniture from time to time. It was not an option to continue like this, so he took out a fire stick and lit the lantern again, so that even if

Even if the other party is alerted, he can react first.

With the lighting of the lantern, the environment in the house suddenly became much brighter. The white cloth covering the furniture could be seen with the naked eye to be covered with dust. There were even many spider webs in some places. It could be seen that this house had indeed been empty for a long time.

came.

Suddenly, the watchman, who was looking at the environment inside the house, stopped and shined a lantern on the floor. He saw a layer of dust on the floor, revealing the footprints of someone heading into the house.

Seeing this, the watchman couldn't help but be a little cautious, and the palm of his hand holding the bangzi couldn't help but feel a little wet. He followed the footprints with a lantern and finally came to a side room where the footprints suddenly stopped in front of the door.

Just when he was about to reach out and push the door open, a black shadow flashed behind him. In shock, he quickly turned around and shouted sharply.

"Who? Who's there!"

The watchman's sharp shout did not make the figure stop, but instead fled out even faster. Seeing this, the watchman quickly chased after him. The two figures chased each other in the house. The person in front did not look like the watchman.

They also used lanterns for lighting, so they would bump into obstacles from time to time and make the room a mess.

Seeing that the watchman was chasing after him, the former picked up a stool and threw it at him. The watchman quickly dodged to avoid it, only to see the stool hit the wall, and a shrine above was smashed to the ground.

When the figure in front was about to run out of the house, the watchman jumped up, hugged the other person's legs and threw him to the ground. The two of them struggled with each other at the door, and no one noticed the figure who was hit just now.

The fallen shrine and the white mist gradually appearing around it.

"Ahem, stop fighting, stop fighting! I don't dare anymore!"

The watchman was strong, and within a few moments he pinned the little thief under him and beat him up. He soon surrendered and shouted at him. After hearing this, the watchman also stopped with his fists, grabbed his collar and beat him.

The man picked it up and dragged it to the door, using the moonlight to see clearly the appearance of the little thief.

"Er Gou? It's you again!"

The watchman saw that this little thief was a well-known street kid in the town. This kid usually had no real identity and would do anything. He had been caught many times just stealing things. Unexpectedly, he was caught again today.

He caught it.

"Let's go to the security team with me!"

When the watchman saw that he was a habitual criminal, he grabbed him and wanted to drag him to the security team. Ergou quickly grabbed the watchman's hand, slapped him and knelt down for him.

"Third uncle, please don't, I will never dare to do it again."

Ergou Sanshu, the watchman, couldn't help but sneered when he heard what he said.

"Don't be relatives, I don't dare to be your uncle."

The watchman and Ergou are from the same clan, one generation older than him and the third oldest. Although they are from the same clan, his behavior towards Ergou is extremely shameful. This young man who is well-equipped will do such dirty things if he doesn't do business.

Those who engage in abusive behavior will not change despite repeated admonitions.

"Third Uncle, this house has been abandoned for so many years, and no one has come back. I am just stealing things, but I don't have the owner. So, Third Uncle, I will give you half of the things, and you will be so noble and turn a blind eye.

How about you just let me go?"

Ergou changed his strategy after seeing that the relatives trap was almost ineffective. The Huang Mansion had been empty for so many years, and no one had come back to take a look. In the eyes of many people, their family would never come back. It was precisely because

It was for this reason that Ergouzi set his sights on this house.

After nightfall, when there was no one outside, Ergou quietly opened the lock and slipped in. Although most of the valuable things in the house were taken away by the owner and his family, there were still many things left behind.

The two dogs had gained a lot this time, and they were not willing to let it go to waste, so they started to lure the watchman.

I had a friend over for dinner last night and I didn’t have time to type. I’ll rush out a chapter today and there will be another chapter later.
Chapter completed!
