Chapter 120: Thieves Don't Go Empty
Although it was a little vague to listen to the conversation between Zuo Nosuke Katsumasa and Clint with the brass pipe that was stealth, and Yan Xu didn't understand some words at all, the most important words made Yan Xu hear it in his ears - the damaging thing that caused the leopard to be seriously ill, the owner was not Jushe at all, but this Westerner named Clinder!
Now that they have found out the main owner, Yan Xu is not in a hurry at all. Putting the copper pipe inserted in the crack of the tile into his arms, Yan Xu lay on the roof on all fours and rested for a while, and listened to the people in the house under his feet walking out, then sat up, slowly hooked the wooden lattice next to the corrugated with his fingers, turned over and jumped under the eaves.
There was no one in the side hall, and the tea bowls and fruit plates on the table had not been cleaned up, and no one had touched them. Sitting down on the chair, Yan Xu drank the bowl of gaiwan tea that was just hot and cold, and at the same time picked up some dried fruits and chewed them in his mouth, but his eyes looked around the room.
But all the big families in Sijiu City almost have a habit of making a secret cabinet in the house to hide things.
Valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings, important documents and deeds, and some cheesy ones were hidden with oceans of gold bars, all of which were stuffed into the secret cabinet placed in that secret place. After stuffing it, stick the key to the secret cabinet and guard it, which makes you think that you are safe!
But in the eyes of a sneaker, the secret cabinets placed by these big families have always been a joke!
There are even more sneakers in the good hand said, this big family has placed a secret cabinet is to make people worry-free, enter the door and go straight to the past to get a wrapper and roll it away, almost away from this family's valuable things are all here, no longer have to touch around!
Although this is a bit ridiculous and ostentatious, it can be said to the root. And that's true!
Some of them have put secret chests in the closet of their bedrooms, and have placed a movable wooden board against the wall, and an iron box is placed in the hole dug out of the wall. Even if you want to open the iron box to get something, you have to open the lock on the closet first, and then remove the hidden plank, so that you can see the big lock hanging on the iron box. It's going to take a while!
But the good hand in the sneak didn't even think to take the serious way to open the iron box, but took a horn chisel made of snowflake iron on the outer wall and gently pulled it a few times, and moved the iron box full of valuable objects from the outside of the wall.
Sometimes I bump into the good hand who pays attention to some stealth rules, and people can also hold the three-fold soil with their hands to plug the hole in the wall that has just been dug out, and use the dust of the same color as the wall skin to wipe it out. Even when it's dark, you can't tell that this wall has moved without looking closely!
There are also first-class large families, maybe they have really figured out how to hide important things in order to be really insured. In the dead of night, he removed the lotus pot in the yard and dug a hole in the ground. Quietly wrapped the valuable thing in an oilcloth and buried it carefully, and then put the lotus pot as it was.
In the eyes of others, there is something hidden under this lotus pot, so naturally I can't see it. But in the eyes of the sneaker, just by looking at the water stains that leached out under the lotus pot, they suddenly changed shape and color, and they could immediately figure out what was wrong.
On the night when the moon is dark and windy, take a cow intestine that has been practiced with medicine and pump the water in the lotus pot clean, and then remove the empty and fluttering lotus pot. Dig lightly along the boundary where water seeps the fastest, and you will naturally get rich!
According to the words of the learned man - if there is an abnormality, he is a demon! The place where the good hand swept his eyes in the stealth. The more people pretend to be monsters, the easier it is to show their appearance!
Just after eating three or five dried fruits, and sipping half a bowl of good tea by the way, Yan Xu had already seen that there were several things wrong in this side hall!
There was a corner of the black cloth burden faintly exposed on the beam, and it was estimated that he was not paying attention when he put the black cloth burden on it, so he showed a little bit of the horse's feet.
The two paintings hanging against the wall look pretty good. But the position of the hanging is a little twisted - whose calligraphy and paintings on the wall have to lean against the walls on both sides?
There are also the floor tiles under the two chairs opposite me, looking at the brick cracks are clean, and there are traces of bumps and pry on the sides of the floor tiles.
Put the tea bowl in your hand on the coffee table next to you. Yan Xu ran a few steps towards the chair opposite him, stepped on one foot, and immediately stepped on the chair with the help of the beam, and raised his hand to drag the black cloth burden in the groove on the beam into his hand.
As soon as the burden was in his hands, Yan Xu felt that his arm suddenly sank, and he was so hung that he fell to the ground because of the heavy weight!
didn't have to open the baggage, just listened to the dull sound between the collisions of the things in the baggage, and then weighed the size and weight of the baggage, Yan Xu didn't say a word, pulled out a palm-wide and three-foot-long black cloth from his waist, and tied the black cloth to his waist with a wrap around the ground!
is only half of pulling a burden as big as a small gourd, and the amount of money he starts almost makes Yan Xu not hold back the momentum on his body, in addition to the small yellow croaker or big yellow croaker in this burden, what else can there be?
Walking around and trying to see if the burden full of yellow goods on his waist was tied securely, Yan Xu raised his hand and picked up a hanging painting hanging on the wall, and suddenly wrinkled his brows!
The big families in Sijiu City secretly hide a few things to protect their homes, which is also a common thing. But in the dark grid behind this hanging picture, there are ten brand-new pistols neatly stacked! Sensei said that it was a self-defense hospital, that is, which patrol police station did you take these family belongings to, but I am afraid it is more than enough?
Although he couldn't tell what the name of the pistol was, but looking at the glowing barrel of the black oil, Yan Xu immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the two pistols and pinned them behind his waist!
Coincidentally, the hidden behind the other painting is also a few brand-new pistols. Probably because of the fear of the pistol, this can only be melee defense, and there are a few grenades like small wine jugs hidden in the dark grid, and they look new.
Reaching out and grabbing two grenades into his arms, Yan Xu turned around and squatted hard next to the floor tiles that didn't look right.
He took out a paper-thin knife from the gap in the sole of the gripping tiger, and Yan Xu gently swept the knife along a few brick cracks. After not feeling any tripwire ringing or something like that, he gently picked up a floor tile with the knife.
There is a gourd mouth with a small belly, and it is a hole with three or two floor tiles, and there are several layers of palm-sized cardboard boxes stacked at the bottom. I picked one up and picked it up with the tip of a knife and took a look, and it was full of white noodles that were as solid as bricks!
As usual, he took a box of white noodles and put it in his arms, and Yan Xu struggled to stand up. Pulling open the waistband of his pants and taking out the household belongings that he hadn't used for many years, he happily poured a soak of urine on those white-faced boxes
Although he has not been walking on the rivers and lakes in Sijiu City for a long time, he has only entered Sijiu City, and his ears are filled with news from the foxes and rats of various cities. Especially several old buddies in the sneak, almost all of them are pumping the white face who doesn't know where to come to it, and the big one has become a waste that no one recognizes except the white face!
After a long time of making trouble together, this stirred up the white noodles lying on the streets of Sijiu City, and the roots are in the chrysanthemum society where everything is sold cheaply!
Listening to the faint sound of footsteps in the courtyard, Yan Xu quickly restored a few floor tiles to their original state. One jumped to the window in the side hall against the courtyard wall, raised his hand and gently pushed the window open, and got out.
There was suddenly a little more weight on his body, and then he wanted to think about climbing over the wall full of wolf teeth and barbed iron teeth, but it really took Yan Xu's strength, and even the old cotton jacket lined with cooked cowhide that was taken off and cushioned on the wall was also vividly called the wolf tooth barb iron teeth to draw out several big holes.
didn't go far at all, Yan Xu found an old locust tree growing against the root of the wall in the alley, and pulled out the thin knife in the sole of the gripper. In three or two clicks, he stuck to the ground on the wall and cut out a hole, and then took the old cotton jacket on his body, which was scratched by the barb of wolf teeth and iron teeth, and wrapped the object he had just succeeded. Stuffed into that hole.
took out a bamboo pipe from the short jacket that was close to his body, sprinkled the pungent gray-yellow powder in the bamboo pipe next to the root of the old locust tree, and then carefully looked around to see that there were no flaws left, Yan Xu then put his hands into his sleeves, and walked towards the German Shantang outside the Chongwen Gate against the root of the wall. I walked to the door of the German Shan Tang, and saw the nine monkeys dressed as a little Hanako. He followed Clint into the door of the Shan Tang.
didn't alarm the two little apprentices who could see it at a glance and squatted under the outer wall of the Shantang Gate to watch the wind and whistle, Yan Xu walked around the street around the German Shantang wall as usual, especially looking at the small western-style building in the Shantang for a long time, and even saw how many windows and how many corrugated buildings there were on the small western-style building, and remembered clearly, so he turned around and ran to the small inn opposite the German Shantang.
It's noon. The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter of the small inn felt that he had no energy, holding his chin with one hand and pulling the abacus beads at random with the other, and he didn't know whether he was counting the accounts of the two jujubes, or just trying to make a move to relieve his boredom?
Looking up, I saw Yan Xu, who was only wearing a short jacket, walking in the door with his head down, and the shopkeeper of the small inn, who had no spirit at all, barely raised his head, and greeted Yan Xuqiang with a smile: "This old guest, are you eating or staying in the hotel?" If you want to eat, we have a small place here, so we will include a few small dishes for the meal, and it looks like there is nothing to look at, but the food is barely okay. To stay in the hotel, just there"
Without waiting for the shopkeeper of the small inn, who had no spirit at all, to finish chattering about the words of soliciting customers, Yan Xu's arm in his sleeve was raised, and more than a dozen pieces of ocean had already opened the spinning on the oil-stained counter!
Without looking at the sudden glowing eyes of the shopkeeper of the small inn, Yan Xu shouted in a low voice: "Pack a clean room!" The money is stored on the cabinet first, what do you want to eat, how to use, ask the price, and ask someone on the cabinet to buy it! ”
With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper of the small inn hurriedly threw Yan Xu to the counter Dayang into his hands, and shouted at the young man who was napping at the counter with a loud voice: "It's only noon that you are sleepy, are you Zhu Bajie reincarnated?" Ma Yuer led this master to rest in the No. 1 room of Tianzi"
Without waiting for the shopkeeper of the small inn to finish drinking, Yan Xu raised his hand again, and a few pieces of ocean fell on the counter: "In half a while, there will be two guests from the Ju Society to live here, and Ma Yu'er will prepare the Tianzi No. 1 room!" Remember, as long as you can tell that it is the No. 1 room of Tianzi set by Mr. Zuo in the Chrysanthemum Society, it is the two distinguished guests you have to be careful to greet here, but it is not a mistake! Hello, such a reward, there is also a share! ”
Grinning widely, the shopkeeper of the small inn and the young man shouted almost in unison: "Remember, it's the distinguished guest waiting for Mr. Zuo in the Chrysanthemum Society, so please do it!" (To be continued.) )
