On his way to Furuli, the weather unexpectedly changed.
Not only were there dense clouds that completely covered the moon, but the wind also started blowing. It blew and made the branches sway wildly.
This is really good weather worth doing.
Because for thieves who specialize in climbing over walls and houses at night to steal, they all follow one rule when committing crimes, that is, "steal the wind but not the moon, and steal the rain but not the snow."
The reason is that committing a crime on a snowy or moonlit day, with a bright moon in the sky and white snow on the ground, makes it easy to expose your whereabouts. On a windy and rainy night, it is easy to hide, and the sound of wind and rain can also cover up the sound of the action.
In addition to this, the time of arrival of "Stretch Out" is also good, which is exactly two o'clock in the morning.
During this time, almost everyone in the city is in a deep sleep. Even people working the night shift can't keep their eyes open.
So when he "reached out" to touch the west courtyard of Guanyin Yuan, everything was pitch black. When he reached the window of Lao Chen's house, he could clearly hear two people in the house quietly having a deep sleep.
Not too heavy, not too light, but quite even. In addition, there is no other sound.
Yes, these two fools were indeed carelessly asleep, there was no mistake.
After ascertaining the situation, I was overjoyed to "reach out" and immediately took action.
He first found a piece of discarded toothpaste on the window sill of his neighbor's house, and gently opened the latch on Chen's door. Then he tiptoed into the main room and closed the door gently.
During this process, except for the slight sound of the door shaft, which had become less lubricated over time, there was no sound.
After successfully entering the main room, he was not in a hurry to enter the bedroom and start stealing. Instead, he made a series of arrangements.
That is to first find out the location and furniture of the inner and outer rooms, and then gently remove the latch of the main room door.
These are all for opening the door and escaping quickly in case of wind loss. Especially the step of removing the latch may seem a bit redundant, but it is actually very necessary.
Because sometimes, some bolts that are too loose will lock the door by themselves.
Needless to say, for a thief, this kind of accident is simply a disaster, and of course it needs to be completely avoided.
In addition, he then placed a few benches and other miscellaneous items in front of the main room and bedroom door.
This is to prevent the owner from getting up to catch the thief if he is alarmed.
Because once this happened, with these things on the ground, he turned around and ran away, easily avoiding it with a single jump. But the owner who was chasing the thief didn't know it, and he would be tripped and fell.
Yes, all of this is his ancestral stealing trick, which is called "Close the door before entering the house, and place the sundries sincerely."
After arranging everything smoothly, in my heart of "reaching out", I feel a little proud that "God will help me, everything will fall into place".
He took it for granted that he would be able to easily get into the bedroom later. If everything went well, he would be able to find the deposit slips in the clothes the two of them took off or in the drawers in the house and escape unscathed.
Then when the time comes, if things go well, he can even leave a note to anger his enemies...
It's a pity that while "Reaching Out" was thinking about good things, he just pushed the door of the back room half open when things encountered a major setback.
Because although he was careful not to let the door make any sound, what was strange was that one of the two steady breathing sounds suddenly interrupted.
And immediately after, a rather burly man sat up from one of the two single beds in the room.
In the darkness, one could vaguely see that the man's head was also turned towards the door.
I'm jealous!
The thought of "reaching out" immediately rose to my throat, and I immediately stopped daring to look around, crawling behind the door and huddled in a ball.
But this time it's even worse!
Because he was not paying attention, the sundries he had just placed were scratched by his retracted feet, and the small bench made a soft sound.
Just this sound caused some reactions from the people in the room, and there was a loud sound of shoes.
If it were to happen to an ordinary thief, I'm afraid he would have to blow himself up. Otherwise, he would have to flee and be completely exposed.
But "reaching out" was not enough, he was still able to hold his ground.
This was because his mind turned around and he simply didn't believe that the person in the room was really so alert. He felt that the person just sat up just now, probably because he was holding back his urine or because he was thirsty. It was a coincidence that he happened to wake up at night.
At the same time, it is also because there is another saying about the trick of "flying black", which is called "you can't get out of bed if you cough, and you can't leave the room if your shoes make noise".
This sentence actually means that when a thief is in action and is discovered by the owner, such as hearing coughing, the sound of shoes, etc., there is no need to be too afraid or too nervous.
If we analyze it from the perspective of human psychology, people in the room will often make noises or make the sound of shoes at this time. There are only two situations.
One is that the owner is afraid of thieves and is afraid that the thieves will use weapons to attack. He uses this method to embolden himself and wants to scare away the thieves with a bluff.
The second is that the owner is not sure yet and is too lazy to check. He just uses this method as a test.
To put it bluntly, in fact, housebreaking thieves are "not afraid of shouting loudly, and can only guard against being caught secretly".
They are not afraid of the owner of the house making a big show of it, because the more he does it, the more cowardly he becomes. What they are afraid of is the ruthless owner who will keep silent and give you a guy secretly.
So in the face of this situation, it really doesn't matter. You can just stay calm and wait and see what happens.
Besides, having said that, "Reach" is not an ordinary person! He will not just sit back and resign himself to fate like others. He also has one trick that makes him stand out - that is ventriloquism!
He learned this from an "old blind man" from Hunan while traveling around the world.
Whether he is imitating a cat or a mouse, he can definitely imitate it perfectly, just like the real thing. He can even imitate the sound of a cat eating and fight with a mouse.
I originally asked someone to learn this skill just because it would come in handy in special situations like this.
Needless to say, this trick is really effective. When "reach out" began to imitate the "squeak" sound of a mouse. Sure enough, the boy who sat up gave up his doubts.
The sound of tapping shoes suddenly stopped, and then someone in the room cursed, followed by a shoe being thrown hard on the door where Reach was hiding.
It's just that the boy in the room was really strong. Not only did he smash the door with a bang, he also made the door hit the head of the person who reached out.
After a while, he reached out and his forehead actually bulged.
Damn, this hurts. Old grudges have not been avenged, but new grudges have arisen.
Of course, this ruthless guy also woke up another sleeping guy in the room.
But the situation at the back was pretty good. The two of them didn't turn on the lights at all.
The boy who was woken up asked a few questions casually, but he didn't say anything when he heard that the mice were causing trouble. Instead, he asked the person who got up first to light a stick of mosquito coils. It seemed that he was badly bitten by an autumn mosquito.
The one who got up first was really obedient and obeyed immediately.
"Reach out" in the outer room and clearly see that the ground in the room is illuminated by the fire. Then the light goes out again. Then he hears the "gu dong dong" in the room, and there is the sound of drinking water. The boy who got up first also
Returned to the shop.
After a while, both of them fell asleep breathing evenly.
At this moment, "Reaching Out" finally let out a sigh of relief. It was definitely a false alarm and he had overcome the difficulty.
To be on the safe side, he waited patiently for twenty minutes, and heard the breathing inside was steady and unchanged. Then he slowly stepped out from behind the door and crawled into the house on his hands and knees.
In the darkness, the most obvious thing is of course the bright red mosquito coil head in the bedroom.
I have to say that the placement of that thing is quite unique, because it is placed on the ground in the middle of the house quite out of the way. And the smell is different from what "reach out" usually smells.
I can’t describe the specific smell, but it feels a little sweet and soft, like something specially made for women.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to this unusual "reaching out". His focus was now on finding the deposit slip. And his first goal was to search through the clothes of the two people in the house.
But it was this negligence that put him in a place of no return.
He forgot a sentence - "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster"!
Just when he reached out to touch the clothes on the chair, he finally began to feel something was wrong. He felt that his head was heavy, and suddenly it became heavier. He felt like he couldn't hold his head up with both hands.
In shock, he really tried to support his head with his hands. But what he didn't expect was that when he moved his hands, his body became completely weightless, and he fell to the ground with a "gudong".
It’s over! My body is so limp and out of control!
This frightened "Stretch Out" to the extreme, and he struggled desperately in the endless darkness.
But the whole body no longer obeys the orders, so how can one struggle again?
He felt his whole body gradually stiffen, and his fingers and toes became increasingly numb.
Before he completely fainted, he finally had a flash of inspiration and remembered something his father had mentioned, and he understood a little bit.
His heart trembled, and he just wanted to scream.
"Muffled Incense! This is the legendary Muffled Incense! They actually..."
Then, there will be no more...
This really cannot be blamed on his incompetence, but on the fact that the enemy is too cunning!
