Chapter 40 What will you do

Staying up late is not a good habit.

Tao Xi, who has always been used to going to bed early and getting up early, got up with red eyes, and the first thing she did was to look around the surroundings of the house.

"A white kid stood at the door of our room and stared at us for a long time this morning. Fortunately, my guys were very helpful and left one after another early in the morning, so that the group of people didn't suspect us." Ni Erta lay beside Tao Xi and pointed in the direction of the northwest corner of the house.

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

Tao Xi didn't see where the end of the path was, but it was obvious that the path had been stepped on for no more than 2 months, because the weeds on both sides of the path were yellow.

Obviously, it is a path that has just been opened up. If it is a shortcut path, there should be lush weeds on both sides of the path.

Marco on the side was still snoring, but Tao Xi sat cross-legged on the ground and drew the road he walked last night with the clods he picked up~
Nilta may not be a good manager, but he must be a perfect executor.

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

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

Marco muttered and rubbed the particles in the corners of his eyes with his hands to answer Tao Xi dissatisfiedly, but Tao Xi squatted on the ground and looked at the end of the path and asked: "Marco! Do you still remember that we used to steal things? Do you doubt what we will do after the master finds us?"

"Of course, I went back to that family's room to see if he behaved differently from before."

"So I suspect that group of people will definitely let people come to our house to see, and Nilta's age is undoubtedly telling the group of people that he is the owner of this house!" Tao Xi replied calmly to Marco, Marco Coe also finally realized where he was now and what happened last night.

After cleaning up the remaining rubbish in the house, Marco deliberately left some cigarette butts and the floor that Tao Xi swung a shovel to pry open yesterday.

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

The dust rising in the air made the two brothers "cough cough cough" for a long time. Taoxi quickly pointed to the stove on the first floor, and Marco got in with quick movements and climbed along the chimney smoothly. The location on the second floor~
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 with a worn-out telescope hanging around his neck asked with his head tilted cutely.

Yoram looked at the empty house not far away and rubbed his chin. He didn't answer his nephew, but squatted behind a big tree and looked at it seriously for a long time before he straightened up and walked and said, "I'm very happy." Make sure what we're doing has been found out, although I don't know why the police in LA didn't come to arrest us this morning, but we should leave immediately, but before we leave, we need to know who the group is !"

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

Yoram patted his nephew's head with satisfaction when he heard his answer: "You are very smart. When we earn 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 up to you." Yoram stood at the door of the house, first carefully circled the house, and found that there was no movement in the house, then bent down and arranged for his nephew: "Go to that tree and wait for me." ,if"

"Okay, okay, I get it. If someone comes over, I will learn to meow like a bird, and if no one comes over, I will learn to meow like a cat every 3 minutes." The little nephew rolled his eyes at his uncle and climbed up quickly. on the big tree.

Yoram walked to the door nervously after seeing his nephew disappearing in the dense trees~
A piece of wire is his sharp weapon to open the door~
When the iron wire rotated clockwise and pushed against the lock cylinder, Yoram's tense expression immediately beamed with joy.

When entering the door, Yoram turned his head and looked around the environment outside the door. After noticing anything unusual, Yoram turned the doorknob skillfully and walked in.

Yoram seems 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, but when he passed by the hall on the first floor, he saw that it was almost half upturned. A smile appeared on the corner of Yoram's mouth behind the wooden board.

No one in the master bedroom~
No one in the bathroom~
There is no one on the second floor~
Yoram's actions did not stop, but he opened all the cabinets in the room and checked them all. After Yoram took a deep breath, he pretended to be casual and walked to the stove in the hall on the first floor~
Next to the stove is an iron shovel for picking up charcoal. Although it doesn't look big, Yoram is still shaking the weight in his hand~
Realizing the weight of the shovel was good, Yoram deliberately put the shovel into the stove and kicked up the dust from the charcoal left behind.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"I know you are hiding in the stove, come out quickly, I don't mean any malice, I'm just asking for money." Yoram looked at the blurred footprints on the stove charcoal and said seriously.

But after a long time, there was still no movement in the chimney above the stove, so Yoram carefully reached in and waved his shovel at the chimney for a long time~
"click"

A pair of old lady's cloth shoes hanging from a dilapidated wire fell from the chimney into the stove, this movement startled Yoram.

After a long time, it was the meowing of the big tree outside the house that brought Yoram back to his senses.

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

"You irresponsible decoration workers, if I have money, I will definitely not hire you in the future." Yoram put the shovel in his hand back to its original position, picked up the broom behind the door carefully Cleaning up his footprints.

Except that Yoram was still cursing when he left.

Tao Xi lay on the roof and looked at the two people going away and let out a sigh of relief, but soon Tao Xi realized something: "Marco, what are you doing with a wire on your body!"

Marco replied dissatisfied: "I am not a low-end thief like them. I put the wire on my body to earn more security fees from Old West. Only when I use the wire to open the door can I open the door." Convincing Old West that his home isn't safe, and I got Old West $4000 to change the locks with this wire, and we'll make $1600 out of it!"

Often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. This time the brothers got into the chimney through the stove and really forgot about the issue of footprints.

If it weren't for the tacit understanding between Marco and him all the year round, maybe tonight's very easy "black eating black" would turn into a "hand-to-hand combat", which was not the result Tao Xi wanted.
-
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Nilta and his group came to the house where Tao Xi was again in the afternoon.

The scorching sun of Los Angeles happened to shine the whole house under his sunshine, and the arrival of a van and a forklift made the house lively.

Nierta didn't know where to get a hard hat and commanded the two big guys to start filling the wooden boards in the house~
A simple construction site is just that.

"It feels so good to be rich, and you can achieve anything you say!" Tao Xi said with satisfaction as he watched the "construction effect" brought by Nierta's $800.

Marco lay on the floor of the second floor with his legs crossed and said nonchalantly, "If you have money, you might marry a Hollywood actress back home!"

"Hollywood female star? Come on down, we don't even have a decent house yet." Tao Xi replied in a dispirited manner after forcibly suppressing the cloud of Hollywood beauties popping up in his mind.

Downstairs, Nilta's younger brothers sang songs while working, for fear that no one would know that they were doing construction.

Nierta hid on the second floor and was lazy when he saw that he had nothing to do, while Tao Xi just stared at the sun outside the window as it went down little by little.

Not eating before committing a crime is the code of conduct for every sewer resident, because they often live in the sewer, everyone has some gastrointestinal diseases more or less, in order not to eat bad stomach.

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

Marco swallowed furiously while commenting on the hot dogs everyone was eating: "The salmon hot dogs are not tasty enough, there is too little meat in them, and the chili sauce hot dogs are too cheap, and you have to drink water after eating them, so you'll be hungry."

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

Tao Xi smelled the meat smell of the "roujiamo" in Nilta's hand, swallowed unconsciously and closed his eyes, but Marco couldn't bear the anger and quarreled with Nilta directly.

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

The warmth is temporary. After eating the hot dogs, all the people in the room found their own places to sleep in the house, and Tao Xi was not included!
Every time in a boxing match, Tao Xi likes to stare at the sky in a daze, because only at this time Tao Xi will feel that he is still working hard for life~
"dong dong dong"

"dong dong dong"

The muffled sound from the ground sounded on time again, but the time line in the middle of the muffled sound from the ground tonight was a bit longer.

"Yesterday's muffled sound was about 3 minutes apart, and today the opening time is 15 minutes, which means that the group of Portuguese cleaning the cave was preventing the mine from collapsing yesterday!"

"So we only have 15 minutes to act and I'm going to call the police before we do."

"The police dispatch time of the Los Angeles Police Department is about 12 minutes, but today we have reported to the community for the construction of the house. There may be a police car in the middle because a forklift appears and cannot come in on time. This can be provided to us. The time just made up for the 3 minutes!"

"Within 15 minutes, we need to find their gold as fast as we can!"

"If someone resists, we just need to stun them, and we don't need to do anything else, understand?"

This was the only highly feasible plan that Tao Xi came up with in the shortest time. As for all kinds of accidents that may occur in the middle of the plan, Tao Xi also used the word "stunning" the other party to deal with it.

This is the only plan that can protect them from any accident~
In order not to have any accidents, Nilta once again told all his younger brothers. After Nilta made sure that everyone had understood Tao Xi's plan, everyone put on a mask and started their respective activities. where to go~
"Four of you go to the mouth of the mine, three of you to the waterhole of the creek, and the rest follow me."

As soon as Nierta's words fell, Taoxi on the first floor shouted in a low voice: "They have started to build the pillars of the mine, let's set off, start according to the plan, don't fight, knock people out when they meet !"

This time, Tao Xi did not go near the pool or the mine. Out of his knowledge of Prison No. 86, Tao Xi felt that it was impossible for the group of people to carry the gold with them. Gold was hidden near their dwelling.

In order to speed up their search team, Tao Xi's action team has the largest number of people, a total of six people.

Tao Xi walked very cautiously along the winding and rugged path. Tao Xi, who was bending forward, was afraid of bumping into some mechanism of the other party and alarming them.

The path became more and more difficult as you walked back. After walking for about 2 minutes, Tao Xi turned his head and whispered to Nilta at the back of the line: "Nilta, go, call the police! I saw the room , remember to make things very serious."

Nierta nodded and turned away.

"Marco, see if there is anyone nearby." Tao Xi patted Marco on the shoulder after saying this, and walked in the opposite direction to Marco.

Several other people still followed Marco and went around towards the lonely log cabin. Every few steps Marco took, he would gently sniff his nose, but every time Marco was trying to find the It wasn't that when someone was on guard, a stinky smell would affect Marko's judgment.
