The silver-white van drove forward in an orderly manner. Today's weather is much colder than yesterday. The wind blowing on the street rustled the street trees on the roadside.
Some girls who are not afraid of the cold put on thick clothes when they went out today. There were many fewer pedestrians on the road than yesterday.
Originally, in this kind of winter, the sun does not provide much heat for everyone, but today the dark clouds in the sky are occasionally blown by the wind and cover the sun, which makes everyone can't help but complain about the wind that blows from time to time.
.
The order Niu Tao sent was near the university town, far away from his flower shop.
Although the distance is a bit far, the number of spiritual potted plants ordered by the customer totaled fifteen pots, which was quite a lot and was considered a big order.
It took more than half an hour to drive the van to the destination.
This is a rather high-end community, with three-story villas inside.
As expected, Niu Tao was stopped by the guard at the door. Although he explained his purpose of coming, the guard could not let him pass directly. Instead, he dialed the number of Niu Tao's customer and did not let him pass until confirmation.
Of course, the license plate number still needs to be registered.
"Brother, drive slower when you enter the community. Sometimes residents will walk their dogs in the community. Don't hit them."
When Niu Tao was about to drive a van into the community, the guard warned him.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder, brother." Niu Tao smiled and nodded to the guard, then lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the community.
Because when the flower shop was closed, he often sent Wei Xiang home, and the community where Wei Xiang lived was more upscale than this one, so Niu Tao, who entered this community, did not look around because of the elegant environment in the community.
"Ding dong."
Niu Tao drove the car and found the customer's home. After getting off the car, he went to the customer's door and pressed the doorbell. After a while, an old man with gray hair came to open the door for Niu Tao.
"Thank you for your hard work, young man." The gray-haired old man said with a kind face.
Niu Tao smiled and said it was not hard, and then he took the potted plants from his van and sent them to the garden of the old man's house.
This customer has already transferred the money for this batch of Lingzhi potted plants to Bai Xi in advance. Because he is an old customer, he did not choose to pay on delivery.
"Young man, drink some water." The gray-haired old man saw Niu Tao placing all the dozens of potted spiritual plants and handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you." Niu Tao thanked him with a smile, took the mineral water handed to him, opened it, took a few sips, and then asked casually.
"Old sir, do you live here alone?"
The gray-haired old man nodded and said, "Yes! All my children are working abroad, and I live alone."
"The Chinese New Year is coming next week, won't your children come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
"For those who are coming back, they have already bought their tickets and will be back next week."
The old man and the young man chatted for a while, and then Niu Tao said goodbye to each other. He got into the van and drove to the gate of the community.
"Um?"
Niu Tao was driving a van slowly in the community. When he passed a villa, he suddenly saw several sneaky figures in the villa.
Why did he say that the figures he saw were so sneaky? It was because the way they poked their heads around the villa was so strange, and they were holding large bags in their hands, which were bulging, as if they had put a lot of food in them.
thing.
"It can't be a thief, right?" Niu Tao thought in his heart, because he watched the news last night, saying that as the New Year is approaching, some criminals are thinking of breaking into empty houses. Recently, many unoccupied houses have been attacked one after another.
A thief.
"Crack."
Niu Tao parked the car under a tree on the side of the road, then got out of the car, closed the door, and quietly walked towards the passing villa behind him.
…………
"Clang."
A piece of copperware fell to the ground, making a huge noise. The quiet villa caused three tall men in the villa to tremble because of this noise.
The bald man and the man with a mustache both turned their heads and looked towards the location where the noise was heard. They saw their companion, the man with tattoos on his arms, looking at them with an embarrassed expression.
"Third brother, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you to be more careful? What if you make such a big noise and are discovered by the security guards patrolling outside?" The bald man lowered his voice and said to the tattoo on his arm.
The tattooed man scolded.
"I'm sorry, brother, my hand slipped just now and I dropped something on the ground." The big man with tattoos on his arms apologized quickly, then bent down to pick up the copperware that fell on the ground and put it into the big pocket in his hand.
"Brother, I think we've almost finished everything. Let's evacuate! If we delay for too long, we'll be in trouble when this family comes back."
The big man with a mustache weighed the big bag full of stuff in his hand and felt that it was almost ready, so he suggested to his elder brother.
"It's true that we're done pretending. Come on, let's get out of here." The bald man nodded, then waved his hand, calling his two companions to go out of the villa.
"Click."
After opening the door of the villa, three big men came out, carrying the bags in their hands, and quickly walked towards the big iron gate in the distance.
Parked outside the gate of the villa was a car with an advertisement for water and electricity repairs on its surface, and the three big men were also wearing maintenance workers' clothes.
It seems that these three burglars sneaked into the villa disguised as maintenance workers, but I don't know how they managed to get past the doorman at the gate of the complex.
You know, when entering this community, the doorman must confirm with the owner.
Could it be that the owner of the villa was deceived by these three big men pretending to be maintenance workers, and then asked the security guards to open the door for them?
Open the back door of the van and load the heavy bags into the compartment.
The three big men were very agile with their hands and feet, and it looked like they were very experienced. From their actions, it can be known that they probably broke into houses and stole a lot.
After they put all their things in the car and were about to get in the car and leave, a loud shout suddenly sounded behind them.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The three big men suddenly heard the voice coming from behind and were frightened. Then they turned around and looked behind them.
They saw a young man in his twenties standing behind them. He was looking at them suspiciously, and his eyes seemed to be focused on the trunk of the car that had not yet closed the door behind them.
"boom."
As if noticing Niu Tao's gaze, one of them immediately reached out and closed the door of the trunk compartment, blocking Niu Tao's view of the three large bags containing many things in the compartment.
"We are repairmen. We helped this owner repair the water and electricity facilities in his home. What can I do for you?"
The calm and composed bald man answered Niu Tao's questions in a very calm tone, as if they were really repairmen. This acting skill is really remarkable.
"Plumbing and electricity repairman?" Niu Tao grunted, and then said, "The three linen bags that are as tall as each person you just took contained so many things.
How could you come out of someone else's house with such a sack full of things when you go to someone else's house to repair water and electricity?"
"..." The taciturn man with a mustache and the man with tattoos on his arms remained silent. They looked at Niu Tao who asked again, their eyes flashing fiercely.
"Those are the things my customers don't want in their homes and are ready to throw away.
I saw that those things were quite new, so I told them not to throw them away and just leave them to us to deal with." The expression on the experienced bald man's face still did not change, and he explained in a very calm tone.
"Really! Then I'll ask the owner of the villa." Niu Tao did not let go of his doubts because of the bald man's explanation. As he said that, he walked into the villa where the three people came out and wanted to go there in person.
Making sure.
"Brother..." The big man with a mustache and the tattoo on his arm watched Niu Tao walk into the villa and wanted to confirm it in person.
They had just come out of the villa and knew that there was no one in the villa at all.
Now when Niu Tao went to ring the doorbell, no one would respond. Then their secret would be exposed, so they quickly shouted to the bald man, looked at him, and waited for his decision.
"Made, I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, and I met such a nosy guy. Let's leave quickly." The bald man cursed and then called his companions to get in the car and prepare to escape.
Just as he was about to ring the doorbell and confirm with the host whether what the bald man said was true, he suddenly heard the chaotic sound of getting into the car from behind. Niu Tao immediately turned around and looked, then his face condensed and he walked quickly
Rushed forward.
"Big brother, that guy is coming up." The big man with a mustache said to his big brother as he was about to get in the car.
"Fuck, this guy is done." Before the bald man could speak, the man with tattoos on his arm immediately cursed, then he quickly stepped forward and punched Niu Tao.
Niu Tao already knew that these three guys were not good people. They must be the kind of burglars mentioned in the news.
Now he saw one of them actively approaching him, launching an attack with a fist, hitting him in the face, and he immediately bent down to avoid it.
The big man with the tattoo on his arm punched the opponent. He did not expect that the young man in front of him would react so quickly and dodge his fist easily.
Just when he was about to raise his leg to kick Niu Tao, who was bending down to avoid his attack, before he could lift his leg, he saw Niu Tao kicking his legs off the ground, leaping up, and at the same time, he waved his right hand and punched
Towards his chin.
"boom."
The big man with tattoos on his arms, who had received a punch on his strong chin, was sent flying into the air and fell heavily to the ground.
"ah……"
He received a solid punch to his chin, but it was very painful. The big man with tattoos on his arms who fell down directly covered his hit chin with both hands, rolling around and screaming in agony.
"Bastard." The big man with a mustache was furious when he saw his brother was knocked down by a punch. At this time, the bald man said, "This kid is a practitioner. Let's go up together. Don't go up alone."
The big man with a mustache was reminded by the bald man, and he immediately nodded, and then rushed towards Niu Tao with his big brother.
Niu Tao saw two other burglars rushing toward him. He felt a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down.
When the supernatural power was activated, a pale golden light appeared on the surface of his body, and then quickly dissipated. However, his power increased rapidly, which could not be seen from the surface.
"Practitioner?!!!"
Although the conspicuous light golden aura was fleeting, the two burglars who rushed towards Niu Tao still saw it.
After discovering that the enemy was a practitioner, the two burglars who rushed towards Niu Tao immediately lost their composure. The fierce expressions on their faces disappeared, and then they turned around and tried to escape.
It is quite normal for them to behave like this. After all, they are just ordinary people. When they meet a practitioner, they subconsciously choose to run away. This is a very wise move.
"Don't run."
When Niu Tao saw the bald man and the man with a mustache turning around and running away, he immediately shouted, then he chased after the two men.
"Ouch."
The big man with a mustache who was escaping accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground and fell to the ground, rolling forward several times with a rumble.
When he stood up and wanted to continue running away, Niu Tao, who had already caught up, jumped up and kicked him on the back, knocking him to the ground again.
"Brother, save me."
The fallen man with a mustache looked at Niu Tao who was approaching him, and immediately asked for help from his escaping companions. Unfortunately, how could the other party care about him at this time!
The feeling of calling each other as brothers and sisters in the past is not reliable at all when encountering such a crisis. It can be said that they all flew away when the disaster came.
"Brother." The big man with a mustache called several times, but received no response. She turned around and saw that her eldest brother was running further and further away, and he suddenly felt desperate.
At this time, Niu Tao also rushed in front of him and kicked him in the stomach.
"ah……"
Using Niu Tao's enhanced strength, this kick was quite powerful, and the big man with a mustache screamed loudly.
Niu Tao was worried that his strength was not strong enough, so he added several more kicks until the opponent was unable to move and almost fainted, then he stopped.
Seeing that the dying man with a mustache had no ability to escape, Niu Tao immediately chased after the bald man who ran away.
"Don't run."
"Damn it, how did this guy run so fast?!!!" The bald man abandoned his brother and ran away alone. When he heard the voice behind him, he looked back and was so scared that the hair on his head was counting down his hair.
Then, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to increase his escape speed.
