Chapter 424: The Thief
The lights in the corridor are dim, and the surroundings are even quieter, in this case, a handsome guy and a beautiful woman appeared, and the handsome guy also held the hand of the beautiful woman, and his mouth whispered in the ear of the beauty, next, what will they do?
If you don't kiss, you're sorry for the dim lights, sorry for the silent but ambiguous environment, and sorry for the handsome guys and beauties.
That's what Wu Xin thought, so although she was extremely nervous, she felt very exciting and sweet, so she closed her eyes and said very emotionally in her heart: "Come on!"
But Li Zedao's next sentence was like a basin of cold water poured heavily on her head...... There are thieves?
What is a thief? What is a thief? etc...... There are thieves?
Wu Xin's eyes widened suddenly, and she was about to exclaim: "There is a thief?"
But before she had time to exclaim, her mouth was already covered by Li Zedao's hand, and the next second Li Zedao's deep voice whispered in her ears: "Don't make too much noise...... Didn't you say that your dad was working overtime in the hospital tonight, and your mom went to your grandma's house? But I heard a slight movement inside, so I'm afraid I'm going to be robbed. ”
Just before the key in Wu Xin's hand was about to be inserted into the keyhole, Li Zedao had already heard a strange sound coming from the room, similar to the sound of turning over things, and as if something was still on the ground.
As he spoke, Li Zedao let go of the hand covering Wu Xin's mouth.
Wu Xin's face had changed slightly, and she whispered at the moment: "That...... What now?" Although she listened to it and didn't hear the movement that Li Zedao pointed out at all, she also knew that Li Zedao was not so bored to make such a joke with her.
"Catch the thief. Li Zedao whispered.
"Be careful...... Why don't you call the police?" Wu Xin said with some concern.
"When the police come, the thief might just run away. Li Zedao whispered, "Don't worry, it's okay to have me, give me the key." ”
Hearing this, Wu Xin hurriedly handed over the key in her hand.
Li Zedao took it, as if he was returning to his own home, he casually inserted the key through the keyhole, and then twisted it, making some movements while paying attention to the situation inside.
Sure enough, just as he expected, the original sound of turning things inside had disappeared, in other words, the people inside had stopped what they were doing after hearing the sound of unlocking.
At the same time, Li Zedao used the key to open the lock, and then pushed the door open and went in, it was pitch black, but for Li Zedao, he could still clearly see the situation inside in this environment, after all, he had been in a container that was darker than this for more than a week, and because of internal force, he had already had the ability to see in the dark.
Wu Xin only felt that her heartbeat was about to jump to her throat, and her little hands were a little helpless and grabbed the clothes on Li Zedao's waist, and even if she wasn't afraid of affecting Li Zedao's actions, she wanted to hug his waist tightly.
Li Zedao strode in, although he didn't see where the thief was hiding now, but he felt a slightly rapid breathing sound, it is conceivable that the thief saw that after someone opened the door and came in, he began to be nervous so that his breathing became thick and rapid.
The breath came from the floor-to-ceiling curtain on the left, in other words, the thief was hiding behind the thick curtain.
"Where is the switch of the light?" Li Zedao turned around and smiled at Wu Xin, his tone was very ordinary, he couldn't lower his voice, and he didn't take the thief in his eyes at all, with his current ability, he could slap at least two of such a thief to death.
Seeing that Li Zedao was so relaxed and determined, Wu Xin's heart was already relaxed, and she reached out to the wall with one hand and pressed the switch of the lamp holder on the wall, and in an instant, the crystal chandelier in the middle of the hall was lit, and the whole hall was like daylight.
And her other hand was still holding the clothes on Li Zedao's waist...... It's not because I'm afraid, it's just that I finally have such a good excuse to grab his clothes and get close to him, how can I not grab enough at once?
In the next second, the pretty face was full of anger, and I saw that the drawers and cabinets in the TV cabinet were opened, and the things inside were even more messy, and there were a lot of debris on the ground that had been turned out, and obviously, these sundries couldn't get into the thief's eyes, so they were thrown there at will.
Li Zedao looked back at Wu Xin, who was still holding on to his clothes, and smiled helplessly: "That...... Don't worry, it's okay. ”
“...... I'm afraid ......" Wu Xin said, taking advantage of the situation to hug Li Zedao's arm, but his big eyes were turning from side to side, wanting to see where the damn thief was hiding.
Li Zedao had a crying and laughing expression on his face, and then pointed to the curtain and said, "Hide there." ”
Wu Xin's eyes fell on the curtain, and then he shouted in a cold voice with some annoyance: "Hey, thief, we have found you hiding behind the curtain, why don't you come out quickly?"
The curtain was lifted, and a tall, thin, sallow-faced and somewhat malnourished boy walked out, wearing a set of sportswear that could no longer be seen in color, and a pair of earthy yellow sailing sneakers on his feet, the shoes were cleanly washed, but they were full of patches.
At this time, his right hand was holding a fruit knife that looked bright in the light, and he was staring at Li Zedao and Wu Xin with that somewhat empty look.
Wu Xin saw that the other party actually had a weapon, and his eyes were very unfriendly, his heart was tight, and he grabbed Li Zedao's arm even harder, and his body was tightly attached to his arm.
Li Zedao felt the softness on his arm, and he was already a little embarrassed, but he let Wu Xin eat his tofu, and then looked at the boy and said, "Give me a reason to steal." ”
I don't know why when I saw this boy, Li Zedao remembered his former self, his face was also sallow, he was wearing tattered clothes, and the shoes he wore on his feet were also patched, and his eyes were often empty and numb, as if he couldn't see the future or didn't know that there was such a thing.
"Let's ...... I'm leaving, I don't want to hurt anyone. The boy said with a somewhat wooden expression.
"Looks like you're in need of money. Li Zedao said with a slight smile, not taking the other party's threat to heart at all.
He also swept around the ground, but found that there was a mobile phone on the ground, as well as a string of jade necklaces, which can be regarded as more valuable things, but the other party did not put it up but threw it there, but there was a golden piggy bank The lid of the belly was opened, so Li Zedao concluded that the other party's purpose was very clear, it was for money, even if it was a steel hammer.
The boy was silent, still saying the same thing: "Let me go, I don't want to hurt anyone." ”
"How much money do you need, and what do you want to do with that money?" asked Li Zedao.
"Let me go, I don't want to hurt anyone. ”
"The reason is to my satisfaction, I can give you money and you will not be held accountable. Li Zedao said, and then looked at Wu Xin, "Wu Xin, this ...... No problem, right?" After all, the other party stole Wu Xin's home, so Li Zedao naturally had to ask her opinions and thoughts.
“...... I listen to you. Wu Xin nodded, and then added, "I listen to you for everything." After saying that, her pretty face was already slightly red.
"......" Li Zedao felt that Wu Xin's last somewhat ambiguous words were a bit redundant.
"Let me go, I don't want to hurt anyone. The boy still said this shriveled sentence, his eyes were wooden and looked at Li Zedao coldly, in his heart, he didn't believe what the other party said at all.
"If I don't want you to go, you can't. Li Zedao said lightly.
Wu Xin thought to herself, these two people are finally on the same channel when they talk.
The boy stopped talking, and Li Zedao walked towards Li Zedao and Wu Xin step by step.
Li Zedao found out, his hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, his two legs that stepped forward were also shaking slightly, and he sighed slightly and said, "Why don't you believe that I may really be able to help you?" Also, the knife is about to be clenched, and it is about to slip from your hand and fall to the ground. ”
"......" The boy stopped, and there was a hint of complexity in his wooden eyes.
"Tell me what you want money for, and if it's really useful, then I'll give it to you. Li Zedao said in an undoubted tone.
The boy was silent for a moment, then said, "Dialysis ......."
"Dialysis?" Li Zedao's face changed slightly, "Uremia?"
"Yes, uremia. The boy lowered his head slightly and said, "My dad has uremia and needs 500 yuan to go to dialysis, and I have nowhere to raise money, so I have to come out and steal." ”
Li Zedao's face was a little pale and nodded, he remembered that Li Dahai was here again, wasn't it because Li Dahai had uremia, and the expensive surgery fees completely crushed his family, so that later he had to go to the overpass to kneel and ask for money, but in the end, he didn't get the money after all, and Li Dahai found a place where no one was dragging him down and died quietly.
This boy's situation is exactly the same as his own at that time, and at that time, he also thought of stealing it, of course, he had to pick those rich people to steal, after all, for them, thousands of dollars may be just the price of a meal.
But after all, I didn't have the courage to steal ...... Yes, it's not because it's shameful to steal or something, it's just that you don't have the courage, you don't have the guts, you don't have the skills.
This boy is much more courageous than he was at that time.
Wu Xin's eyes, which were tightly holding Li Zedao's arm, were already a little red, and she had already changed her opinion on this thief in her heart.
