Chapter 5: A Battle of Wisdom and Courage with the Air



Hiding the gold coins in his pocket, Qin Xiaoxia quickened his pace.

I gave up my original plan to go to the bus stop and wait for the bus and just decided to take a taxi.

You know, there are very few taxis in the center of Kehua District willing to go to Qingzhen, because there are rarely any return passengers.

Therefore, even if drivers are willing to go to Qingzhen, most of them do not use the meter and the price they charge is higher than the regular price. This is also the tacit rule.

Normally, Qin Xiaoxia didn't want to be a sucker, but today the situation was special. After seeing the surveillance footage, he was eager to go home, as if he was afraid that some precious opportunity would slip away.

Although it usually takes more than an hour to go around by bus, it only takes ten minutes to get to Qingzhen by taxi.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxia was already standing at the door of his house.

On the way back, he already had a mental plan for what to do.

Qin Xiaoxia first checked the door lock, and sure enough, it looked intact.

Then, as if realizing something, he patted his head, turned around and headed for the vegetable market.

When he came back half an hour later, he was already carrying roast chicken, cooked meat, vegetables and drinks.

Then he opened the door with trepidation and walked in as if nothing had happened.

He put the food directly on the table, then changed into slippers as usual, checked the doors and windows in particular, and acted as if he was satisfied.

"It seems that after calling the police, the thief really doesn't dare to come."

Qin Xiaoxia deliberately said this, but obviously there was no response.

As usual, I went to the computer to check the "idle income".

Sure enough, gone are the mechanical keyboards from desktops.

"Oh my god~~ This damn thief is here again! My keyboard~~~"

The tragic cry was almost exaggerated.

Then I started looking for the keyboard all over the room.

He searched every position and corner, paying special attention to under every chair, stool and table, and then rummaged through all the drawers and cabinets.

After working myself into a sweat, I finally "accidentally" tripped in the kitchen and "inadvertently" glanced at the keyboard under the refrigerator.

"Fuck! They're hiding here! How abominable!!"

"You are such a brave thief! You are not even afraid of the police. Don't let me catch you!"

After screaming for a while in his room as if to vent his anger, Qin Xiaoxia slumped down on the kitchen floor.

The expression of helplessness and a little panic on his face was obvious.

Well, from the perspective of "self-interpretation", Qin Xiaoxia is not an ordinary person...

Although he had the illusion of competing with the air in a battle of wits and courage, he believed that the guy could definitely see it.

This is just like a quarrel. If you scold for a long time and the other party doesn't respond, it must be that the one who is scolding is more unhappy than the one being scolded.

But in Qin Xiaoxia's opinion, his previous series of performances should be in line with the little thief's psychological expectations of pleasure, or in other words, it was exactly what made that guy happy.

When the work was almost done, Qin Xiaoxia got up, put the keyboard back into the computer, and then went into the kitchen to tidy up.

Another twenty minutes later, the living room was filled with the aroma of various foods.

Roast chicken, roast pigeon, braised meat, cold dishes, white rice and steamed buns.

Although they are all cooked food, it is undeniable that the aroma of these things after opening the package is much stronger than that of normally cooked dishes. If the person happens to be hungry and has never eaten these, the lethality will be even more deadly.

From the video just now, we can see that the little thief wolfed down the pizza. Well, at least he has a big appetite.

To be honest, Qin Xiaoxia was hungry after all the trouble, so he ate with relish.

Grandma Xiao's Young Chicken Delicatessen in the vegetable market has been open for more than ten years, and the cooked food there has always tasted good.

He almost couldn't stop eating after this. Several boxes of food that should have been half left were about to be eaten up by Qin Xiaoxia alone.

By the time I realized what was going on, there wasn't much left.

It's a little embarrassing. Although there is less left than planned, it should be enough for a taste.

Qin Xiaoxia tidied up and put the remaining cooked food into the refrigerator.

Then he took out the empty pizza box and scratched his head in deliberate confusion.

"Strange, did I eat all the pizza? I thought there was some left."

The evening basically repeated the daily routine of the previous few days, except that he focused on cursing about the "theft" before going to bed.

This avoids using overly provocative swear words, but does express his dissatisfaction and helplessness to the fullest.

Then, as the clock ticked, Qin Xiaoxia fell asleep with satisfaction and anxious anticipation.

The next day was another sunny day. Before the morning sun shone on his face, Qin Xiaoxia sat up from the bed.

First I flipped over the pillow.

No.

He got out of bed and turned over the quilt and sheets.

Still no.

"How stingy! I performed so hard yesterday, but you didn't even give me a penny!"

I got dressed and washed up with a bit of depression, then opened the refrigerator to make breakfast.

"Damn! Where are yesterday's grilled chicken wings, pigeon legs, and braised beef? Why are they gone?"

A loud roar spread from the kitchen to the living room, attic and other corners of the house.

But unlike the "anger" on his face, Qin Xiaoxia was secretly delighted in his heart.

"You little bastard, so what if you're a supernatural thief? You're still a child after all, and you can't resist the temptation of food!"

Seeing that the cooked food was eaten up without leaving anything, Qin Xiaoxia felt more relieved. It definitely couldn't be a ghost.

It seems that not even a bone was left, so it might be closer to calling it a monster...

Sometimes people are just so strange. Normally, ghosts are humans incarnated and should be closer to humans, but people are more afraid of ghosts. As for monsters, especially monster children, curiosity takes over.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the little thief was afraid of the refrigerator before, the deterrent effect has been greatly reduced.

'Hehehe, I'm not afraid now that I've taken the bait. Tsk tsk, let's observe for a while!'

Qin Xiaoxia had a blank expression on his face, but a wicked smile already appeared in his heart.

It seems that this little thief does not understand the function of electrical appliances. He probably only understands that food can be stored in the refrigerator, not to mention surveillance.

In the next two days, Qin Xiaoxia would bring back some delicious food every day, and the leftovers would be stolen by the thief.

Every day some of his frequently used items would go missing at home, but through cheating with surveillance, they could basically be found.

The only drawback is that the gold coins did not appear again.

Through careful observation of the surveillance, Qin Xiaoxia discovered some patterns.

This little guy may just be able to become invisible, but he can't pass through walls, and he doesn't seem to be very strong.

Because on the third day of surveillance, after it disappeared, it seemed to accidentally knock over a chair, and then the chair was seen in the camera falling over and then "standing up" again.

The chair shook several times while it was "standing up", and it was quite difficult to stand up.

The chair in Qin Xiaoxia's house was left by Old Man Qin. It was made of solid wood of good quality and quite heavy, but there was definitely a problem with its design. When no one was sitting on it, it would easily fall over if you pulled the back of the chair hard, and it would be quite difficult to stand it up again.

In the past he disliked this chair, but today's discovery made Qin Xiaoxia extremely excited.
