Chapter 204 The Thief's First Action

Chapter 204 The Second Action of the Thief Saint
On the last day of National Day, Li Kailang slept a little longer, which was a rare occasion.

He didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

After a quick wash, Li Kailang started today's business.

Extract honey!

The beehive has been taken out, and I ate some roasted bee pupae yesterday.

You know what, it tastes pretty good after sprinkling some toppings on it.

If it were before the time travel, Li Kailang would not have dared to try this kind of dark cuisine.

Perhaps it was his mastery of cooking that gave him the courage, but Li Kailang didn't feel the slightest bit disgusted when he saw the roasted bee pupae.

Li Kailang looked at the three jars in his hands.

"The next step is to shake the honey, but I don't have a honey shaker, so I can only use the home method."

Thinking of this, Li Kailang took out three beehives.

First, pick out all the bee pupae that have not been taken out of the hive. At this time, all the bee pupae are dead.

The ring cannot hold living things, and these bee pupae are no exception.

Half an hour later, Li Kailang picked out all the bee pupae, and then placed the beehives of different sizes in a glass jar.

After liquefaction, filtration and other processes, a clean, authentic honey is produced.

There is also a piece of clean beeswax about two fingers wide, which is also a by-product of extracting honey.

Beeswax has the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, detoxification and analgesia, and beauty and skin care. It is a good thing.

"We're done, time to go back!"

It took an hour to extract the honey. Li Kailang packed up and prepared to go back.

After all, it took more than four hours to get here, and it would take almost the same amount of time to go back, so it’s better to go back early and rest earlier.

I didn’t sleep much in the shelter, so there wasn’t much to pack.

Before leaving, Li Kailang dismantled the alarm system, released the four processed chickens, and rode his bicycle back home.

Back to last night, Li Kailang was about to enjoy dinner.

"Why are you here again?"

Li Kailang looked at the four leopard cats standing not far from him. They came to beg for food again.

"Meow-"

The leopard cat mother cried pitifully, her eyes fixed on the roast chicken in Li Kailang's hand.

"Meow meow~" The little leopard cats also followed their mother's calls.

They haven't fully grown yet, and the tender voice made Li Kailang, a burly man, feel softened.

The leopard cat mother seemed to be certain that Li Kailang would not harm them, so she dared to stand in front of Li Kailang blatantly.

However, the leopard cat mother was also on guard and did not dare to get too close to Li Kailang, maintaining a certain safe distance.

"Meow--" the leopard cat mother called pitifully again.

The little leopard cats stared with their big crystal clear eyes, flashing with begging light, with their furry little faces and their tails wagging constantly.

I couldn't bear to see Li Kailang.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, here's to you!" Li Kailang took out 4 chickens and threw them to them.

Suddenly, the little leopard cats rushed forward.

The furry little face was buried in the food, and it made a satisfied purring sound while chewing.

After the little leopard cats finished eating, they went to play aside, and then the mother leopard cat started eating.

"You guys are amazing. You've been eating my food for two days. If it were someone else, they wouldn't be as good-tempered as I am."

Li Kailang said unhappily, but they didn't understand what Li Kailang meant.

Play when you should play, eat when you should eat.

Four hours later, Li Kailang finally rode out of Sijiu City.

"Let's take the things out first and make a show."

When Li Kailang was about to leave the courtyard, he packed his things and put them on the back seat.

By the way, I hung up some local specialties and pretended to be back from the countryside.

After finishing, Li Kailang got on his bike again and returned to the courtyard.

"Go home!!!"

After a while, Li Kailang pushed his bicycle into the courtyard.

"Hey! Xiao Li, you're back?"

"I'm back! Uncle, what a coincidence! Why do I always see you watering the flowers when I come back?"

Li Kailang looked at Yan Bugui holding the shower head, puzzled.

Yan Bugui explained: "What you said is that I didn't water the flowers when I didn't, and I didn't see you come back and see that I didn't water the flowers!"

Li Kailang thought for a moment and said, "That's right! Then you can continue watering."

After saying that, Li Kailang pushed the cart to his doorstep and parked the cart.

He took out the key and was about to open the door.

Suddenly, the raised hand stopped in the air, and Li Kailang noticed something strange.

"It's gone! Did it fall or something? Look somewhere else!"

Li Kailang went to the window next to him and took a closer look. The things he had placed there in advance were also gone.

I went to other places to look carefully, and some things were also missing.

Li Kailang was about to open the door when he found scratches on the door lock. Not only did it show signs of being pried open, but there were also signs of being hit by a heavy object.

Without caring about anything else, Li Kailang quickly opened the door.

"Squeak-"

Li Kailang looked at the ground at the gate. He had sprinkled some flour before leaving, and now there was no trace of flour on the ground.

Li Kailang went to other places and looked carefully, but there was no trace of flour left in the room either.

"Huh~ He probably didn't come in!" Li Kailang felt relieved.

Looking at the damaged area, Li Kailang guessed, "It looks like someone wanted to come in, but apparently failed! They were blocked outside."

Before leaving, Li Kailang placed warning devices such as hair in the gaps between doors and windows.

There are also some things placed inside the house, both openly and secretly.

Now most of the alarm devices outside have been triggered, but none of the ones inside have been touched.

Obviously, the thief failed to get in and returned empty-handed.

Li Kailang pondered: "I'm afraid no one else would steal things in the courtyard except Bang Geng, the thief saint!"

"Ask Yan Bugui to see if anyone has contacted me in the past few days. If no one has, then it must be a good joke!"

Thinking of this, Li Kailang went out.

After watering the flowers, Yan Bugui went back with the sprinkler and met Li Kailang.

Li Kailang spoke first: "Uncle, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Uncle, has anyone looked for me during the few days I was away?"

"Looking for you?" Yan Bugui thought for a moment, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

"No one! No outsiders have come into our yard in the past few days."

"Really not?"

"No, what's the matter? Xiao Li, is there any important person who didn't come?" Yan Bugui asked worriedly.

Seeing Yan Bugui's serious expression, it was obvious that he was not lying.

Li Kailang shook his head: "That's not the case. Since there is none, then I'm fine. Thank you, Uncle."

Yan Bugui waved his hand: "You're welcome!"

After getting the answer, Li Kailang returned to the room and looked in the direction of the Jia family.

"Has Banggen awakened?"

"It's still a few years before the plot begins, and the famine hasn't come yet, but they started stealing things. It's very likely that it was Bang Geng who stole them."

Li Kailang guessed the possibility.

"However, there is no definite evidence in this matter. Even if we report it to the police, they may not accept it."

Li Kailang had no definite evidence, nor any reasonable and firm suspicion.

Although I had doubts in my heart, nothing was missing from my house.

Even if we hold a general meeting of all staff or call the police, it will be of no avail in the end.

"It seems that I have to be more careful next time. When I go out for a long time, I have to keep the door closed."

"But we have to put some in there to make it look like they stole it."

Li Kailang was thinking about how to defend himself.

Time goes back to the second day after Li Kailang set out.

It was rare for Jia Zhang to hold Xiao Dang in her arms as she and the third aunt basked in the sun in the front yard.

Jia Zhang's eyes glanced at Li Kailang's house from time to time.

"By the way, Third Aunt, where is Li Kailang? I didn't see him the whole day yesterday."

The third aunt looked at Jia Zhang with some surprise. The two families had obviously cut off all ties and had no contact with each other, yet she actually cared about others.

The third aunt didn't want to say it at first, but since they were basking in the sun together, and Li Kailang didn't hide from people on the day he left, she didn't care.

"Oh, it's Xiao Li. He went to the countryside to play yesterday. Xiao Li said he has friends in the countryside."

"Go to the countryside to play?" Jia Zhang asked uncertainly.

"Well, Xiao Li packed up and left yesterday. You see, the bicycle is gone." The third aunt also pointed to the place where Li Kailang used to park his car.

Jia Zhang turned around and saw that the bicycle was indeed gone.

In an instant, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and her eyeballs rolled around, obviously thinking of something evil.

Jia Zhang did not act rashly. She stayed in the sun with the third aunt for a while before leaving. When she returned home, Jia Zhang muttered to herself:

"This bastard whose parents died, eats so well every day, and even beats me. He went in and stole something when no one was around, no, took something!"

"When this thing comes home and sees the house is empty, he will definitely be very angry! Oh, he will be so mad!"

Jia Zhang was very happy when she thought of Li Kailang's furious look.

"We need to think this over carefully. Everyone in this yard is here. It would be bad if we were discovered."

Jia Zhang cursed the residents of the courtyard: "Really, these people are here at any time, but only at this time, damn it!"

For a moment, Jia Zhang didn't know where to start.

"Mom, what are you mumbling about? Go and cook!"

Jia Dongxu walked out of the bedroom and yawned, obviously having just woken up.

"Okay, Mom will go right away." Jia Zhang handed the small package to Jia Dongxu and went to the kitchen to cook.

After a while, Banggeng woke up and felt a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen.

"Grandma! Are you done? I'm hungry!"

"It's almost done, grandson. Be good. You can go out and wait for dinner soon." Jia Zhang said while she had time.

Suddenly, Jia Zhang thought of something, looked at Bang Geng, and came up with a solution.

Jia Zhang stayed at home, waiting for the opportunity to implement the plan.

"Everyone, hurry up! I heard that the leader will pass by us, everyone, hurry up and take a look!"

"Really?"

"I also heard it from others, but I saw that everyone had gone there, so it shouldn't be fake!"

Seeing this, even those who were skeptical started running, regardless of whether it was true or not, as they watched the crowds rushing towards them.

Upon hearing the news, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up.

All the residents of the courtyard ran outside, even Jia Zhang was not surprised.

After running along with the people for a while, Jia Zhang pulled the stick away and ran back.

"Grandma, why are you pulling me back? I want to go and see!" Banggeng said dissatisfiedly.

"What's so good about this? You're still young, Banggeng. There's still time to see what will happen in the future. Let's go back and do big things!" Jia Zhang pulled Banggeng and walked back.

Banggeng scratched his head: "Do something big? Grandma, what big thing?"

Jia Zhang looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back and talk."

Soon, Jia Zhang brought the stick to Li Kailang's door.

Jia Zhang pointed at Li Kailang's house and said, "Great! This is the big thing we are going to do!"

Bang Geng looked at Jia Zhang in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

"Bang Geng, do you know who is the richest family in our yard?"

Bangge shook his head.

"It's Li Kailang. This little bastard made a lot of money from our family!"

"So much money?" Banggeng asked again with his head tilted. He didn't have a clear understanding of money now.

Jia Zhang made a gesture of holding candy in her hands: "If you use all the money Li Kailang earns from our family to buy candy, you can fill up a pile of candy with sticks. You can't even fill your two hands!"

After hearing such a vivid explanation, Banggeng immediately understood.

"I can't even fill both hands, there are so many!" Banggeng looked at his hands and imagined that his hands were full of candies.

Ever since Jia Zhang’s attempt to have Banggeng secretly obtain the kinship certificate failed, Banggeng has been able to eat much less candy.

"Bang Geng, do you want it?"

Jia Zhang tried to persuade Banggeng patiently, but with Banggeng's intelligence, he was soon deceived by Jia Zhang.

Bang Geng looked righteous and said, "Grandma, you are right. Li Kailang is a bad guy. He robbed my dad of so much money. I want to get it back for him!"

"Oh, Banggeng is so well-behaved!" Jia Zhang stroked Banggeng's head.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang struck while the iron was hot: "Bang Geng, grandma will watch over it for you, go in and get it from Li Kailang!"

"Yeah!" Bang Geng nodded heavily and went towards Li Kailang's house.

I pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge!
Push again! Still can't push!
"Grandma, I can't push it!"

Jia Zhang saw the room lock from the outside.

"Bang Geng, there's a lock there that can't be opened, try somewhere else!"

"Oh!" Bang Geng responded and switched to the window.

I changed to sliding windows, but it still doesn’t work!

Inadvertently, Bang Geng destroyed the device set up by Li Kailang, but he didn't care.

Bang Geng turned his head and looked at Jia Zhang with grievance: "Grandma, it still doesn't work, I can't open it!"

"Useless thing!" Jia Zhang cursed in a low voice, "Stupid, try another place!"

Banggeng tried different places, including the bedroom window, the small window in the bathroom, etc., but it still didn't work!

"Grandma, it still doesn't work!" Banggeng said aggrievedly.

"So useless!" Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng unhappily.

Looking at the room lock, Jia Zhang went back to get her key and tried to open it.

The key went in but wouldn't turn.

"I'm already inside, why can't I turn it?" Jia Zhang turned the key violently, but still failed.

There were a few more scratches on the room lock.

"I don't believe it. I can't open it and I can't smash it!" Jia Zhang ran home to get a hammer.

He hammered hard on the lock several times, leaving a few marks on it, but was unable to break it.

"Damn it, how come this fatherless bastard has such a hard house lock!" Jia Zhang yelled angrily.

Jia Zhang became even more furious when she saw the tightly closed door and windows.

"Why is this damn thing locked up so tightly? I can't even get in!"

Jia Zhang walked around and looked at Li Kailang's house, but still couldn't find a way to get in.

Suddenly, Jia Zhang looked up and saw a corner of the skylight.

"Banggeng, come here, do you see that window? Climb up and go in from there!"

Banggeng looked at the skylight on the top of the roof and his heart trembled and his legs shook.

"Grandma, I don't dare!"

Jia Zhang: "Why be afraid of this? Just climb up. Grandma is watching from below. What is there to be afraid of?"

Banggeng looked at the eaves again, tears welling up in his eyes: "Grandma, I don't dare! I'm scared!"

"What are you afraid of! Grandma is here!"

Jia Zhang pulled the stick forcefully and came to the side of the water tank in Li Kailang's bathroom.

Climb up the water tank and you can get onto the roof.

"Bang Geng, do you want to eat candy every day?"

"I want to!" Bang Geng said crying.

"If you want it, then crawl in. Once you're in, you can have as much candy as you want!" Jia Zhang tempted.

Banggeng felt a great courage when he thought about eating candy every day.

With the help of Jia Zhang, Banggeng climbed up the water tank and then onto the roof.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang encouraged: "Oh, that's right! Just like that, stick like this, go up!"

Banggeng was lying on the eaves. He looked back and found that he was so far away from the ground. He seemed to be afraid of heights.

"Grandma, I'm scared!" Banggeng cried again.

"What are you afraid of? You're such a loser! You're already up there, why don't you climb over there quickly? Hurry up!" Jia Zhang scolded.

"Grandma, I'm scared!" Banggeng remained unmoved and lay on the eaves shivering.

"Banggeng, do you still want to eat candy?" said Jia Zhang.

"No more! No more!" Banggeng was so scared that he didn't want to eat the candy at all.

"Ah~ Grandma, save me!"

Jia Zhang was furious and pointed at the skylight: "No help! If you don't want to go, you will be hanging there forever!"

Since Jia Zhang threatened like that, Bang Geng didn't dare to move!
"Ah~" Bang Geng's crying sounded loudly.

Jia Zhang was unmoved and just looked at Bang Geng and cried.

At this time, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Oh, what a pity, the leader didn't come!"

"Yeah, I thought it was real, I ran over in a hurry and didn't even eat!"

"Hey, listen, where is that crying coming from?"

When Jia Zhang heard the noise outside, she was immediately frightened and wanted to leave quickly.

"Okay, stop crying and get down now!" Jia Zhang scolded.

When he heard that he could come down, Bang Geng turned his head to look at the ground and was suddenly scared again.

"Grandma, I don't dare!"

"Useless things!"

Jia Zhang quickly moved the chair in front of Yan Bugui's house, stepped on it, and picked up the stick.

"Ah~" Banggeng ran home crying loudly.

"What a useless thing!"

Jia Zhang's plan was shattered in this way.

This was the second failure in the Thief’s career.

The first failure was due to the recognition certificate from Touyi Zhonghai.

It’s a long and difficult road for Banggeng to become a thief saint!
