Chapter 40 What will you do(1/2)

Staying up late is not a good habit.

Tao Xi, who has always been accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, the first thing he did when he woke up with red eyes was to look around the environment around the house.

"Early this morning, a white kid stood at the door of our room and stared at us for a long time. Fortunately, my guys were very good and left one after another early in the morning, so that group of people didn't doubt us."

Erta lay next to Tao Xi and pointed in the direction of the northwest corner of the house.

Looking in the direction of his finger, a winding and rugged path appeared in Tao Xi's sight.

Tao Xi didn't see where the path ended, but the path had obviously been stepped on no more than 2 months ago, because the weeds on both sides of the path were yellow.

It was obviously a path that had just been opened up. If it were a shortcut path, there would be lush weeds on both sides of the road.

Marco on the side was still snoring, but Tao Xi was sitting cross-legged on the ground and drawing the path he walked last night with the soil he picked up.

Nirta may not be a good manager, but he must be a perfect executor.

Tao Xi looked at Nilta who was leaving the house confidently and woke up Marco, who was still sleeping: "Wake up, wake up! It's time to get up, there may be guests in the room soon!"

"Guests? There are no guests in the sewer~"

Marco muttered and rubbed the particles in the corners of his eyes with both hands and replied dissatisfied to Tao Xi, but Tao Xi squatted on the ground and looked at the end of the path and asked: "Marco! Do you remember that we used to steal things?"

Do you wonder what we will do if our master finds us?"

"Then of course we need to go back to that family's room again to see if he behaves differently from before."

"So I suspect that group of people will definitely let people come to our house to have a look, and Nilta's age undoubtedly tells those people that he is the owner of this house!" Taosi answered Marco calmly.

Coe finally realized where he was now and what happened last night.

After clearing away the remaining garbage in the house, Marco deliberately left behind some cigarette butts and the floorboards that Taosi had pried open yesterday with a shovel.

Just when Marco was about to stand in front of Tao Xi with his hands in his pockets to claim credit, Tao Xi pulled Marco to the ground.

The dust rising in the air made the brothers "cough, cough, cough" for a long time. Tao Xi quickly pointed to the stove on the first floor. Marco got in quickly and climbed in smoothly along the chimney.

Location on the second floor~

However, when Tao Xi got into the stove, he took a serious look at the two brothers who were walking towards their house from the path.

"Uncle Yoram, why do we have to go to that house to take a look?" A little boy asked with an old telescope hung around his neck and his head tilted cutely.

Yoram looked at the empty house not far away and touched his chin. He did not answer his nephew. Instead, he squatted behind a big tree and looked at it carefully for a long time before he straightened up and said while walking: "I am very

I'm sure what we are doing has been discovered. Although I don't know why no Los Angeles police came to arrest us this morning, we should leave soon, but before we leave, we need to know who those people are.

!”

Yoram's nephew puffed up his face cutely and spread his hands helplessly: "Well, it must be because of the shovel found at the mine collapse site and the shovel handle at the mine entrance."

When Yoram heard his nephew's answer, he patted his head with satisfaction: "You are very smart. When we make some money this time, I will definitely send you to the best school in Los Angeles."

"I don't want to go to school~"

"It's not up to you." Yoram stood at the door of the house. He carefully circled the house and found that there was no movement. Then he bent down and arranged for his nephew: "Go to the tree and wait for me.

,if....."

"Okay, okay, I get it. If someone comes over, I will meow like a bird. If no one comes over, I will meow like a cat every 3 minutes." The little nephew rolled his eyes at his uncle and then climbed up neatly.

On the big tree.

Yoram walked to the door nervously after seeing his nephew disappear into the dense trees~

A piece of wire is his weapon to open the door~

When the wire rotated clockwise and pushed against the lock cylinder, Yoram's nervous expression suddenly became happy.

When entering the door, Yoram turned around and looked around the environment outside the door. Yoram found nothing unusual and skillfully turned the door handle and walked in.

Yoram seemed to be very familiar with this house. After gently closing the door, Yoram first found the master bedroom on the first floor and took a look. However, when passing by the hall on the first floor, he saw that it was almost halfway up.

Behind the wooden board, a smile appeared on Yoram's lips.

The master bedroom is empty~

The bathroom is empty~

There is no one on the second floor~

Yoram did not stop but opened all the cupboards in the room and checked them. When Yoram let out a sigh, he pretended to be casual and walked to the stove in the hall on the first floor~

There was also a shovel for shoveling charcoal next to the stove. Although it didn't look big, Yoram still tipped the weight on his hand~

After realizing that the weight of the shovel was good, Yoram deliberately inserted the shovel into the stove and raised dust from the charcoal that had been left behind.

"Cough cough cough!"

"I know you are hiding in the stove, come out quickly. I have no ill intentions, I just want money." Yoram said with a serious face as he looked at the blurred footprints on the charcoal of the stove.

But after a long time, there was still no movement in the chimney above the stove. Then Yoram carefully put his hand in and waved the shovel into the chimney for a long time~

"Click"

A pair of old lady's cloth shoes hanging from a worn iron wire fell from the chimney into the stove. Yoram was startled by this movement.

After a long time, the sound of a cat meowing from the big tree outside the house brought Yoram back to his senses.

"Damn it! This stingy old lady actually put a wire inside the chimney to dry her shoes." Yoram glanced down at the empty chimney, then patted his heart with dissatisfaction and cursed angrily.

"You irresponsible decorators, if I had money, I would never hire you in the future." After Yoram put the shovel in his hand back to its original place, he picked up the broom behind the door carefully.

Cleaning up the footprints he left behind.

But Yoram was still cursing when he left.

Tao Xi lay on the roof and looked at the two people walking away and let out a sigh of relief, but soon Tao Xi realized something: "Marco, why are you still wearing a wire?"

Marco replied dissatisfied: "I am no longer a low-end thief like them. I put that wire on my body to earn more security fees from Old West. Only if I use the wire to open the door can I

I convinced Old West that his home was not safe, and I used this wire to get a full $4,000 in lock replacement fees from Old West, and we were able to earn $1,600!"

I often walk along the river without getting my shoes wet. This time the brothers really forgot about the footprints when they climbed into the chimney through the stove.

If it weren't for Marco and his long-standing tacit understanding, tonight's originally very relaxed "black and white" might have turned into a "hand-to-hand battle", which was not the result Tao Xi wanted.

--------------------------------------------------

----------

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Nilta and his party came to the house where Tao Xi was again.

The scorching sun in Los Angeles just illuminated the house under its sunshine. The arrival of a truck and a forklift made the house suddenly lively.

Nielta didn't know where he got a safety helmet and commanded the two big guys to start loading the wooden boards in the house.

This is how a simple construction site works.

"It feels so good to have money. Whatever you say can be achieved!" Tao Xi said with satisfaction as he watched Nierta spend his 800 US dollars on the "construction effect" brought about by it.

Marco was lying on the floor on the second floor with his legs crossed and said nonchalantly: "If you are rich, you might be able to marry a Hollywood female star and go home!"

"Hollywood female stars? Pull them down quickly, we don't even have a decent house yet." Tao Xi replied in a wan tone after forcing the fantasy of Hollywood beauties to pop up in his mind.

Nierta's boys downstairs sang songs while they were working, for fear that no one would know they were under construction.

When Nirta saw that nothing was going on without him, she hid on the second floor and was lazy, while Tao Xi just stared motionless at the sun going down bit by bit outside the window.

Not eating before committing a crime is the code of conduct for every sewer resident. Because they often live in the sewers, everyone has some gastrointestinal diseases to a greater or lesser extent in order to avoid a bad stomach.

Tao Xi and Marco just stared blankly at a room full of people drinking Coke and eating hot dogs in front of them.

Marco swallowed hard while commenting on the hot dogs everyone was eating: "Salmon hot dogs are not good enough and have too little meat in them. Chili sauce hot dogs are too cheap and you have to drink water after eating them. You will get hungry quickly..."

When Nilta saw Marco preparing to comment on the hot dog in his hand, Nilta quickly said: "This is not a hot dog in my hand. This is a new category Nelson learned from Chinatown. His name is Roujiamo!

"

Tao Xi smelled the meaty aroma of the "rougamo" in Nilta's hand and unconsciously swallowed and closed his eyes, but Marco couldn't stand the anger and started quarreling with Nilta directly.

The content of the quarrel was very boring, that is, which one is better, the Kung Pao Chicken or the Roujiamo in Chinatown? Nilta's younger brothers echoed their opinions from time to time.

The warmth is temporary. After eating the hot dogs, everyone in the room quickly found their own place in the house and fell asleep, including Tao Xi!

Every time there is a boxing match, Tao Xi likes to look at the sky and be in a daze, because only at this time will Tao Xi feel that he is still working hard for life~

"Dong dong dong"

"Dong dong dong"

The muffled sound underground sounded on time again, but tonight the time line between the muffled sounds underground was a bit longer.

"Yesterday's muffled sounds lasted about 3 minutes each time, and today the opening time was 15 minutes. This means that the group of Portuguese people who washed the cave were preventing yesterday's mine from collapsing!"

"So we only have 15 minutes to act. I will call the police in advance before we act."

"The dispatch time of the Los Angeles Police Department is about 12 minutes, but today we are carrying out construction on the house and have reported it to the community. There may be a police car that cannot come in on time because of the appearance of a forklift. This time can be provided to us.

The time just makes up for these three minutes!”

"In these fifteen minutes, we need to find their gold as quickly as possible!"

"If someone resists, we only need to stun them. As for the rest, we don't need to do anything else. Do you understand?"
