Chapter 16 Catching a Thief



"Little elf, I noticed that you seem to be particularly keen on my selling things. Tell me quickly, what secret do you have?"

The elf snorted proudly, "It's because you never include new species that I have no points. If I can't accumulate enough points, I will be forced to wander around, and maybe even be directly recycled by the higher-level system."

"It's so serious. I've been busy these days. I'm going to the mountains to collect species now." Jiang Tuantuan said, then took a big wooden stick and a net and went up the mountain.

Wrap the net around a stick and you have a simple trap.

"Host, there is a rabbit twenty meters ahead," Jiang Tuantuan walked forward according to the elf's instructions, then turned right, just in time to see a rabbit digging something in the ground.

Jiang Tuantuan quickly put the net on the rabbit. When the rabbit heard the noise, it immediately jumped out and soon disappeared.

I failed to catch it the first time, but then I saw a swallow in a tree, but failed again.

"Little elf, it's not that I don't want to include species, it's just that I'm powerless."

"If you can't catch those running on the ground and you can't catch those flying in the sky, then just catch those crawling on the ground," the elf chuckled.

Jiang Tuantuan felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Host, dig down one meter in front of your feet. There are species underneath."

"I refuse!" Jiang Tuantuan resisted vigorously.

"For your brother, you have to do your best!"

Jiang Tuantuan bowed his head to reality, took a small wooden stick and slowly dug down. A chestnut-red earthworm was wriggling in the soil.

When Jiang Xiaotuan saw this thing, he was so shocked that he sat down on the ground.

"No matter what you say, I won't touch this thing. It's impossible to touch it. You better think of another way to include it in the collection."

"Host, if you don't touch it, I can't include it. There are isolation gloves in the mall. You can buy a pair. They can isolate poisons and other things. They are not expensive, only 5,000 points."

"What! It's too expensive," Jiang Tuantuan hesitated for a while and finally bought it. He would need it in the future anyway.

"Elf, you'll also get points when I buy things in the mall, right?"

"Yes, but only 10/1000, very few." The elf was helpless, but decided to work harder to collect species.

The gloves were black, very similar to the gloves worn when washing dishes today. Jiang Tuantuan put on the gloves, gently touched the earthworm, and it was included.

Under the command of the elf, we dug up a lot of earthworms, of various varieties, including green earthworms, green earthworms, soil earthworms, black earthworms, etc.

I have absolutely no chance with earthworms today.

"Sister Tuantuan, come back for dinner," Jiang Li's voice came from the foot of the mountain. Smoke was curling up from the houses, and the faint aroma of rice wafted over.

Jiang Tuantuan replied with a smile: "I'm here, I'll be down soon."

During dinner, Feng Xiaoli asked worriedly, "I guess that chicken thief will come back in a couple of days. Let's take turns sleeping."

Jiang Tuantuan swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "No need, I have a way."

He blinked his eyes after saying that, and Feng Xiaoli understood.

Jiang Tuantuan’s method was to let the elf help monitor. The last time the chicken thief came, the elf did not remind him because he did not cause any harm to the host itself.

But Jiang Li was still confused.

So he sleeps very lightly at night these few days.

Daytime life goes on as usual. The breeding chickens lay eggs very well, one every two days. The cows at home can also produce a lot of milk. Jiang Tuantuan's family lives much better than before.

In the past, we only had thin porridge with some vegetables in it. We could only eat meat once a week, and that was always for Jiang Dafeng and Jiang Tuantuan.

After all, we can't grow our own food, so we have to buy it, and one pound costs twelve cents.

But now everyone can eat an egg every morning.

That night, Er Laizi took advantage of the fact that everyone in the village was asleep and sneaked out in the moonlight.

I stopped ten meters away from the chicken coop and looked around. Everything around the house was quiet.

Er Laizi thought to himself, it has been half a month since the last time he stole the chicken, and there has been no movement in the village. I guess the Jiang family hasn't noticed it. Hehehe, he is so stupid.

Erlaizi quietly walked towards the chicken coop.

Just as he was about to succeed, Jiang Tuantuan hit Erlaizi with a wooden stick, "You stinky chicken thief, you actually dared to steal my chicken, you're looking for death."

Jiang Li was a light sleeper. When he heard the noise, he got up and took out the sack and rope he had prepared in advance from under the bed.

Erlaizi felt guilty and wanted to run away quickly. When he turned around, he bumped into the sack held by Jiang Li.

Feng Xiaoli also came out, and the three of them worked together to trap Erlaizi, tied him up with ropes and started beating him.

From inside the sack came Erlaizi's painful plea for mercy, "Sister Tuan Tuan and Aunt Feng, I was wrong. Please stop hitting me. I beg you."

Jiang Tuantuan heard his cry, stopped, thought for a moment, and decided that he couldn't do this again.

You have to gag his mouth first and then put him in a sack.

Jiang Li gave Jiang Tuantuan a thumbs up.

At dawn, under the command of Jiang Tuantuan, Jiang Li dragged Erlaizi to the village chief's house.

As Jiang Li walked forward, Erlaizi cried.

It was more effective than a rooster crowing. When everyone heard the noise, they all got up and ran out to watch.

Even the children who usually like to stay in bed got up and dressed themselves when they heard that there was a thief in the village.

Upon seeing the village chief, Jiang Tuantuan instantly became dramatic, "Grandpa Village Chief, you have to take charge of our family. I don't know which scoundrel has come to steal our chickens time and again. We rely on these chickens to make a living. Isn't this going to completely wipe out our livelihood?"

Jiang Tuantuan was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, with tears and sobs streaming down her face.
