Chapter 9 The House Was Empty



In a dark room, seven or eight boxes were found. Two of them were neatly stacked with small yellow croakers, two were filled with cash, totaling more than 100,000 yuan, two were filled with gold, silver and jade, and two were filled with calligraphy and antiques.

Li Xiyue didn't hesitate and accepted them all.

They searched room by room and collected cash, cigarette oil, watches, radios, fabrics, and a sewing machine.

When the time comes, you can use the cloth and cotton to make clothes and quilts.

After searching every room, Li Xiyue went to the backyard and found that the backyard was filled with rows of warehouses. In one of the rooms, someone was on guard, playing cards, drinking, and making a lot of noise.

Li Xiyue bought fog from the space and knocked out everyone in the room.

She walked in with swagger. The warehouse was filled with sacks. Li Xiyue cut open a bag with a dagger and found that it was rice.

Looking at the white rice, Li Xiyue's eyes curved into crescents and she put it all into the space. She was worried that there was not enough food to eat. Wasn't this person rushing to send her food?

Some of the other warehouses were filled with flour, some were filled with sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkins, potatoes, cabbage, etc., and some were filled with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, tobacco, alcohol, etc.

Only after all the warehouses were emptied did Li Xiyue leave with satisfaction.

I went straight home. It was almost dawn. Xiaobai said that there was no one in the house. He didn't know where Li Bowen and Wang Huilan had gone. Needless to say, the brother and sister must still be lying in the hospital. They would probably not be able to get out of bed for three to five days.

After washing up in the space, Li Xiyue drank some well water and ate a portion of meat buns that she had packed from a state-owned restaurant.

The buns were still warm, just like when they were first bought. Li Xiyue then realized that time stood still in the warehouse, and things remained in the same state as when they were put in.

That would be much more convenient. She could make more when cooking and take it out to eat when she feels lazy. She could have something hot at any time. It is very friendly to a lazy person like her.

There are already yuan in cash in the space bank, 1,768 small yellow croakers, thousands of gold, silver and jade items, hundreds of antique calligraphy and paintings, and a full store of fine and coarse grains. These are enough for her to use for three lifetimes.

Thinking that he wouldn't have to worry about his livelihood for three lifetimes and could just lie down and be a salted fish, Li Xiyue fell asleep in the space with peace of mind.

Xiaobai lay obediently on the edge of the bed, his ears moving, always paying attention to the movements outside.

"Where are the people? Where did they go? The goods were stolen!" The young man who was transporting goods in the black market was about to enter the warehouse to deliver the goods. When he opened the door, he saw that it was empty inside and started shouting at the top of his voice.

Soon, everyone in the house was awakened. Chen Xiong rushed back after getting the news. He was stunned to see that the warehouse was empty.

"Brother Xiong, the things in the darkroom are gone." At this time, a woman with disheveled hair ran out and said in panic.

A surge of blood rushed to Chen Xiong's heart. He rushed into his room and opened the darkroom. As expected, it was empty. He slumped to the ground, as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

There were nearly thirty people in the house, including men, women, adults and children, but no one noticed that their house had been robbed.

There was no sign of the chain being pried open, and the things just disappeared without a trace.

The night watchman didn't dare to breathe, thinking that he was drunk and that was why the warehouse was emptied.

Chen Xiong knew that he had met a gangster, so he quickly crawled to find his boss.

When he arrived at the boss Hei Quezi's house, Chen Xiong told him everything.

The lame man was over fifty years old, his hair all white. He held a cigar in his mouth and said in disbelief, "Something just disappeared out of thin air?"

His ancestors were bandits and were well-known in the underworld. Later, when the New China was founded, he changed his career and started tomb robbing. Times changed every year, and later he opened a black market. He made a lot of money by buying low and selling high, and he also did a lot of things that happened among the bandits.

It was the first time that he was eaten by someone, and he even suspected that Chen Xiong in front of him had his head stuck in the door and was talking nonsense.

"Yes, Mr. Hei, there is indeed no sign of theft." Chen Xiong said with a stiff face.

Black Cripple's slightly cloudy eyes exuded a murderous aura, "Who do you think did it?"

"Maybe it's our enemy, maybe..."

Black Cripple interrupted him, "Lao Xiong, it's not you, is it?"

"Master Hei, I wouldn't dare to do this even if you gave me a hundred guts. I've followed you for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Chen Xiong was so scared that he knelt down.

The black lame man stared at him, and seeing that he didn't seem to be acting, he laughed, "Look how nervous you are. I just asked casually. Get up now, or you'll make a fool of yourself."

Chen Xiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Hei, do you want me to take the brothers to investigate?"

"Investigate it, and let me know when you find out." The black lame man said in a flat tone.

Chen Xiong is not the only place where he stores goods. He also has other places. For ordinary people, although Chen Xiong has a lot of goods, it is nothing to him. The worst that can happen is that he can ask Chen Xiong to pay for it. It's his fault that he is so useless. A dead man can't even hold the coffin lid.

Chen Xiong responded and quickly took people to investigate, but after several days of searching, they found no clues.

He suspected the man who bought a leg of pork in one go that night, but there was no news at all.

He asked the stall owner who was doing business with the man to describe his appearance, and then went to look for him with the portrait, only to discover that there was no such person in the world.

Since nothing could be found, the matter was left unresolved. Chen Xiong had no choice but to admit defeat and pay the compensation himself.

Of course, this is all in the past.

The next morning, Li Xiyue got up and found that the Li family had not returned yet. She packed a bag and started the second round of stealing.

This time she took away all the visible things, leaving nothing behind even the tables and chairs, and in the end, the house was left with only an empty shell.
