Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Early the next morning, the sunlight gently fell on every corner of the courtyard like a golden veil.

Zhou Jin got up early. The first thing he did was to sign in. Then he got dressed and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Then Zhou Jin gently woke up Zhou Xin, who was still a little sleepy, and carefully packed her schoolbag. After he and Zhou Xin finished breakfast, he took her little hand, pushed his bicycle, and slowly walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the school.

Along the way, Zhou Jin gently reminded Zhou Xin to study hard and listen to the teachers at school. Zhou Xin nodded obediently. Then Zhou Jin asked her if she heard any strange noises last night. The little girl pretended not to hear anything, but Zhou Jin was very happy.

In this way, Zhou Jin rode a bicycle with Zhou Xin, and the figures of the brother and sister looked particularly warm in the morning light.

After seeing Zhou Xin off, Zhou Jin hurried back to the courtyard.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e had just got up, put on her clothes, and was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

She was wearing an elegant dress, her long hair flowed like a waterfall, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhou Jin hugged Lou Xiaoe directly, his words full of pampering and tenderness.

"Wife, you worked hard last night. I'll do these things when I get home. You should get more rest."

When Lou Xiao'e heard Zhou Jin bring up what happened last night again, her face immediately turned red. She then shyly hid in Zhou Jin's chest and punched Zhou Jin a few times with her little pink fist.

Looking at such a charming Lou Xiao'e, Zhou Jin almost couldn't hold back again. He was ready to pick up his gun, mount his horse, and charge at the enemy.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhou Jin remembered that he had more important things to do today. Anyway, there would be plenty of time later and it would be anytime, so there was no need to rush.

So Zhou Jin let go of Lou Xiao'e and went back to the bedroom to get the gift he had prepared earlier.

After Lou Xiao'e finished breakfast, Zhou Jin took Lou Xiao'e's hand and they left the courtyard together.

In the corner of the backyard, Banggeng's small figure was like a wild cat lurking in the dark, his eyes fixed in the direction of Zhou Jin's house.

The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on the ground in patches, but it was unable to dispel the haze of desire in Banggeng's heart.

When he saw Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e disappear from his sight, and waited for another minute to make sure they were far away, Banggeng's heart began to beat violently.

He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

Bang Geng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension, and then like a nimble little mouse, he sneaked towards Zhou Jin's house.

With every step he took, he carefully observed the movements around him, fearing that he would be discovered by others.

It has to be said that Banggeng's luck was really good. Until he arrived at the door of Zhou Jin's house, no one appeared in the backyard.

Standing in front of the door, Bang Geng looked around nervously again.

After making sure that there was no one in the backyard at this moment, he slowly took out a thin wire from his pocket.

This piece of wire is the "unique skill" that Sha Zhu once taught him. It can be used to sneak into doors and pick locks. It can do anything.

Bang Geng held the wire tightly, his palms full of sweat. This was the first time he used it after learning this skill.

After all, no one in the courtyard locked the door before, so Banggeng naturally had no use for this special skill.

Various possible scenarios kept appearing in his mind, but desire eventually overcame fear.

Banggeng carefully inserted the wire into the keyhole. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was performing a delicate operation.

The iron wire stirred gently in the keyhole, making a slight "clicking" sound.

Every sound made Banggeng's heart skip a beat, and he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Bang Geng's entire attention was focused on the wire in his hand and the lock in front of him.

Finally, with a slight "click", the lock was opened.

A hint of surprise flashed across Bang Geng's face, but was quickly replaced by nervousness.

He pushed the door open gently. The slight "creaking" sound was particularly harsh in the silent space, making his heart skip a beat.

Banggeng was like a vigilant little animal. He first poked his head into the house, and after making sure there was no movement, he tiptoed into the house.

There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the room, and the sunlight shone through the window onto the ground, forming patches of light.

But Banggeng's heart was like the sea in a storm, with turbulent waves.

His eyes were wide open, flashing with a mixture of greed and tension, like a hungry wolf searching for prey in the dark.

Banggeng was no novice, he naturally knew where the more valuable things were usually placed, so he walked straight into Zhou Jin's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, Banggeng's eyes were fixed on the desk in the room, and he hurriedly opened every drawer of the desk.

Suddenly, there were seven hundred yuan lying quietly in the first drawer, as if emitting a mysterious temptation.

Bang Geng's eyes lit up instantly, a greedy light flashed in his eyes, his throat rolled unconsciously, and then he slowly reached into the drawer.

With every step forward, he could hear his own violent heartbeat, which seemed to warn him not to make mistakes, but the flame of desire burned more and more fiercely in his heart.

The moment his fingers touched the stack of banknotes, a strange feeling spread throughout his body like an electric current.

The brand new banknote was slightly cool, but it made Banggeng's heart burn with joy.

He seemed to see countless delicious foods, beautiful clothes and fun toys waving at him.

Bang Geng gritted his teeth, grabbed the seven hundred yuan tightly with his trembling hands, and quickly put it into his pocket.

But his greed did not stop there, his eyes continued to search the room like a hungry man looking for the last bit of food.

At this moment, the fruits and pastries on the table caught his sight.

Those exquisite packaging exuded an enticing aroma that almost made Bang Geng drool.

He rushed over without hesitation and stuffed all the fruits and pastries into the bag he brought.

The bag became bulging in an instant, but Banggeng's desire was still not satisfied.

Then, Banggeng glanced around the bedroom again, and after confirming that there was no other place to hide things, he left the bedroom and went straight to the kitchen.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e had heard from Zhou Jin before that there were two thieves, one old and one young, in this courtyard, so she gave the gold she brought with her to Zhou Jin for safekeeping on the night she moved in.

With so much gold, Zhou Jin naturally put them into the space, which is the safest place.

As for the jewelry Zhou Jin gave her, Lou Xiao'e packed them all and put them in the secret compartment under the mattress.

After Zhou Jin went on a blind date with Lou Xiao'e, he specially made a secret compartment between the bed and the mattress to store some of his valuables for Lou Xiao'e.

After all, he couldn't possibly put Lou Xiao'e's things into the space in front of her, at least not now.

However, it was precisely because of this secret compartment that the jewelry that Zhou Jin's mother left to her daughter-in-law was not ruined by Bang Geng.

At this time, Bang Geng had sneaked into the kitchen. At first sight, he was immediately attracted by the bacon and sausages hanging on the wall. He didn't notice the flour on the ground and he was stepping on it.

The mellow aroma hit his nose, instantly arousing Banggeng's desire for delicious food.

His eyes were shining with excitement and his saliva was almost flowing.

Bang Geng couldn't wait to reach out for the bacon and sausages, but he was so flustered that he almost dropped them on the ground.

He quickly grabbed them with his hands and carefully put them into the bag.

However, the bag has limited space and cannot accommodate all the bacon sausages.

So he hurriedly took out some cakes and fruits from the bag and stuffed them into his pockets.

Soon, his clothes became bulging, filling up almost every available space for things.

But even so, he still tried his best to put all the sausages and bacon on the wall into the bag.

After succeeding, Bang Geng looked back nervously, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

His hands were slightly cold due to nervousness, and his heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He tiptoed to the door, confirmed that there was no one outside, and then slowly closed the door.

However, because he was too nervous, he forgot to lock the door.
