Chapter 1124 Little Thief
But Li Luo keenly caught the sound the moment it was heard. Her eyes instantly became sharp and she swept towards the direction where the sound came from like lightning.
I saw two dark shadows moving slowly and stealthily along the wall. Their movements were gentle and cautious, and they seemed to be measuring the ground under their feet with every step, for fear of making any noise if they were not careful.
They looked so cautious, like two mice trying to steal oil but afraid of being discovered.
Li Luo did not hesitate at all. He immediately activated the supernatural power in his body and instantly turned into invisibility.
She took a deep breath, then held her breath and stood on tiptoe, like a light cat, quietly and slowly approaching the two shadows.
Her steps were extremely light, and each step made almost no sound.
The slight friction between the soles of the shoes and the ground was also covered up by the sound of the night wind blowing.
Li Luo stopped when he was about 5 meters away from the black shadow.
At this moment, she finally saw clearly that the two black shadows were actually a man and a woman.
The man was tall, but he hunched over, trying to make his figure less conspicuous.
The woman was petite, but very clever. Her eyes moved around in the darkness, observing her surroundings vigilantly.
At this moment, the man was pressing his ear against the wall in front of him, and asked the woman anxiously:
"Did you hear anything? Is there anyone in this yard?"
The woman put her index finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture, signaling him not to speak, and then continued to listen.
Seeing this, the man wisely shut his mouth.
After a while, the woman lowered her voice and said, "I don't think there's anyone."
The man grumbled in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by 'should'? Can you be more specific?"
The woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm sure there's no one."
After saying that, she eagerly rummaged through her backpack, and the items in the backpack collided with each other, making slight noises.
Her movements seemed a little flustered, and she took a lot of effort to take out a palm-sized tool kit.
Then, she carefully took out a few pieces of iron wire from it. Even though there was no light around, the iron wire seemed to have a heart-pounding chill.
She twisted the wire in her hand, adjusting the angle and shape, her expression focused and nervous.
Then, she groped her way to the side and took a step forward, arriving in front of the gate of the house.
Her heartbeat seemed to quicken with her footsteps, and her breathing became more rapid.
She used the wire in her hand to carefully poke the lock on the gate. Her movements were gentle and cautious, for fear of making too much noise.
The man stood aside consciously, his eyes looking around like a radar, his eyes full of vigilance.
His head kept turning, not missing any direction where danger might arise. His body was tense, ready to deal with emergencies at any time, and he was diligently helping the woman keep watch.
When Li Luo saw this scene, he did not feel too much emotion, but just watched the actions of the two people with interest.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and followed the two furtive figures closely.
From their behavior, Li Luo roughly guessed that these two guys were probably trying to steal something.
However, she did not rush to stop it.
She was just worrying about how to get to know the family of four in this yard, and now the opportunity had come.
Therefore, Li Luo decided to keep quiet and just watch the whole process.
At this moment, the wire in the woman's hand seemed to work. With a "click", the lock was opened.
The man showed an irrepressible joy on his face, and said softly in a low voice:
"Quick, go in and take a look."
His voice was full of excitement and impatience, and his eyes flashed greedily in the darkness.
The woman nodded slightly and pushed open the gate carefully, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of startling a leaf.
The two of them walked in tiptoe like two cats stealing fish.
Li Luo followed closely behind like a ghost.
They had a clear goal in mind and went straight to the room full of groceries.
As soon as the woman entered the house, she began to rummage around. Her hands groped quickly in the dark, and anything she touched made slight clashes.
The man stood at the door, his head looking around nervously like a rattle, his body tense like a fully drawn bow.
Suddenly, the woman lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Found it!"
Li Luo looked closely and saw that the woman was holding a black cloth bag in her hand. The bag was heavy and he didn't know what was in it.
At this point, the man couldn't help but walk into the house, urging, "Hurry up and take a look at what's inside."
The woman carefully opened the mouth of the cloth bag. With the extremely weak light from the miniature flashlight in her hand, Li Luo saw that there seemed to be some compressed biscuits, a few bottles of purified water, and a few crystal cores emitting a faint light.
"I'm rich, I'm rich!" The man was so excited that his voice was trembling. His eyes were wide open and his hands were rubbing unconsciously.
The woman quickly covered his mouth and warned:
"Keep your voice down and don't attract anyone! If we are discovered, we will all be doomed."
There was a hint of fear and nervousness in the woman's voice, and her eyes kept scanning the surroundings, as if someone would rush in at the next second.
The man tried to calm his breathing and said in a low voice:
"Let's go quickly. With these things, we can last for a while."
The woman nodded and began to put the cloth bag on her back, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Li Luo decided not to hide anymore. She suddenly appeared and shouted:
"Stop! What are you doing?"
This sudden roar was like thunder exploding in this small space, frightening the two men so much that they trembled all over and almost collapsed to the ground.
The man finally reacted and turned around to escape, but Li Luo moved like lightning and blocked his way in an instant.
"Don't run!" Li Luo stared at them with eyes as sharp as torches, and that look seemed to be able to burn their souls.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the woman threw the cloth bag in her hand at Li Luo, trying to distract her.
Li Luo dodged flexibly by leaning sideways, as fast as the wind, quickly moved forward and grabbed the woman's arm.
"You stole something and you still want to run away?" Li Luo shouted.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the man's face turned gloomy, like the sky before a storm, and he said viciously:
"You little bitch, mind your own business, or you'll be in trouble!"
Li Luo sneered: "Humph, stealing things is not enough, you dare to threaten me? Don't even think about running away today!"
At this moment, the man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions of fear and anger.
