Chapter 70

His little paws reached for the flowerpot, and he tucked that comic book inside his cotton-padded jacket.

He didn't dare go home, heading straight for the latrine instead.

He read it through once first.

"I, Bang Geng, am truly clever!"

"I figured it out in one go."

"I just need a kitchen knife,"

"Sha Zhu is a cook; his knife must be sharp."

Bang Geng hid the book away again, then ran to Sha Zhu's doorstep.

048: To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself! The Saint of Thieves was a ruthless person from childhood!

Bang Geng arrived at Sha Zhu's doorstep.

"Sha Zhu, that big fool, who knows where he's run off to play."

Finding Sha Zhu not at home, the little White-Eyed Wolf muttered to himself as he slipped inside.

Sha Zhu's home was never locked.

Every Third Third Third Third Time Bang Geng came to take something, he treated it as if it belonged to his own family.

Moreover, Bang Geng felt he was merely borrowing a kitchen knife; what harm could there be in that?

The little White-Eyed Wolf got hold of the kitchen knife and hid it inside his cotton-padded jacket as well.

Then he skulked out stealthily.

A child is still a child; his every move was seen by the Jia family.

Across the way.

Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi sat by the window, watching Bang Geng.

"He is indeed of the Jia family bloodline!"

"So efficient in his actions!"

"Oh, my grandmother's darling grandson, hurry and get some meat for your grandmother to eat."

Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi muttered to herself.

She believed Bang Geng had gone to procure some meat.

In a little while, he would bring some back for her.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu heard this too, but she paid no heed to Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi.

Bang Geng had simply gone out to play; where would he find meat?

Qin Qin Qin Jingru was still lying in the small room; her whole body ached, she ate only one steamed corn bun a day, and hardly ever went out.

She felt utterly ashamed.

She had no idea when Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao might return.

Qin Qin Qin Jingru had made up her mind: she would definitely marry Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao!

If he dared not marry her?

Wherever he went, she would follow.

She would make a tremendous scene!

In truth, all of this was Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's fault.

If he had simply refused to go back then, it would have been fine; instead, he insisted on sending Xu Xu Xu Xu Damao over.

Otherwise, Qin Qin Qin Jingru would not be suffering such misery now!

Meanwhile.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was cruising around with his young, beloved wife.

How wonderful this evening was.

With his wife beside him, shouldn't he put on a good show?

Bai Bai Bai Bai Lu Si sat on the bicycle's rear seat, one arm wrapped around Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's waist, feeling happier than she ever had before.

It wasn't until the sky had turned completely dark.

That Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye reluctantly escorted his wife home.

As he was leaving, his young wife bestowed upon him a rather substantial reward.

So much so that, on his way home, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye felt as though he were floating in heaven!

"I'll check the old almanac when I get back; there should be an auspicious day before the New Year!"

"Get married!"

"Must get married immediately!"

A single dog in his past life, in this life he wanted to marry, have children, and enjoy the warmth of a wife, kids, and a heated kang!

He returned to the courtyard in high spirits.

Only to hear unpleasant noises echoing within the courtyard.

"Second Uncle, have you seen my Bang Geng at your place?"

"Elder Lady Li, has my Bang Geng come to your home?"

"That brat went out to play and hasn't returned for several hours!"

"Should we call the police? He might have gotten lost?"

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu was going door-to-door, searching for Bang Geng.

But none of the people in the courtyard had seen that little White-Eyed Wolf.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

Bang Geng?

Shouldn't the Saint of Thieves be practicing the Sunflower Manual right now?

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye returned home and glanced at that flowerpot.

Good heavens!

Truly good heavens!

As expected of the Saint of Thieves; one move reveals all.

The Sunflower Manual was gone!

Good, good, good!

Now I just wait for Bang Geng to return and see the results of his practice.

Just then, Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi stormed over in a rage: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, where has my Bang Geng gone?"

This old hag appeared out of nowhere; if not for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's strong composure, he would have been scared to death.

"Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi, if you're sick, go see a doctor."

"What's with this appearing and disappearing like a ghost?"

"Where your Bang Geng went is none of my business."

"I am your ancestor; should I be watching your child for you?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye said irritably.

Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi was choked speechless.

That bastard Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!

He better not know, or I won't let him off.

After confronting Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi hurried away.

Not long after.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu came again: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, can I borrow your bicycle? I need to go find Bang Geng."

"It's already dark outside; I'm worried he'll get lost and won't be able to find his way home."

Borrow the bicycle?

Keep dreaming!

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye refused without a second thought: "No."

"My bicycle is never lent out, not even for money."

"Isn't your Bang Geng very capable? Isn't he more formidable than all the other children in the courtyard?"
