At two in the morning, the kitchen once again filled with the sound of rustling and scratching.
Xie Annan Lying in bed, I slowly opened my eyes in the darkness and listened carefully to the movement. I guessed that the mouse had probably jumped from the window to the faucet, then climbed onto a large bag of instant noodles.
I listened for more than twenty minutes, and suddenly heard the mice squeaking and making a mess, accompanied by the sound of the iron cage being hit frantically.
Xie Annan turned over, turned on the light, and walked towards the kitchen. Next to the sink, he saw a small gray-brown mouse shivering inside the mouse cage.
The peanut in the cage has been eaten by it, Xie Annan squatted down, staring at this mouse the size of two fingers. He remembered how many nights this mouse had been stealing food in the kitchen, waking him up and leaving a pile of stinky mouse droppings on the countertop.
As he thought about it, Xie Annan looked fierce and lifted the mouse cage. He stood up and poured a pot of boiling water slowly over the mouse.
Scalding water was poured onto the mouse, causing a large amount of steam to rise. The mouse squealed in pain, frantically hitting the cage and its head started bleeding.
Xie Annan had a smile on his face, feeling extremely comfortable. He lowered the kettle and aimed it at the mouse's eyes, pouring nearly half of the boiling water. The mouse's eyes rolled back, it screeched twice, and then collapsed in the cage, motionless.
"Damn thing." Xie Annan He sighed heavily as he looked at the dead rat.
He stood up, put away the kettle, and saw another rat nearly half a meter long on the windowsill, watching it all.
"Why is there still such a big one?" Xie Anhua frowned, grabbed a broom and wanted to swat the flying rat.
The rat turned around, leaped, flicked its tail, and jumped onto the branch outside the window. Suddenly, it stopped and turned around, quietly watching Xie Annan.
One person, one mouse, just staring at each other like that.
A few minutes later, Xie Annan threw the broom directly at it, and the mouse suddenly turned and disappeared in an instant.
Xie Annan Looking at the swaying tree branches, I felt a little scared. The size of the rat was too big, and its eyes always felt a little strange.

The bar was still playing the dance song "If I were a DJ, would you love me?" The music was loud and deafening, the surrounding lights were flashing frequently, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol.
Xie Annan A large bunch of keys hung from his waist, and he watched the bikini dancers on stage with interest.
At this moment, a woman in a tight red skirt walked over, holding a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Xie Annan, and said with a smile, "Hey handsome, are you alone?"
Xie Annan I smelled a strong scent of cheap perfume on this woman, and I laughed, "Yeah, what's up?"
The woman took a sip of wine and said, "Nothing, I'm alone too. It's too boring to drink alone. Do you mind if I join you? My name is Bai Ning."
"Of course I don't mind. It's my lucky day to run into someone as beautiful as you."
Bai Ning furrowed her brows, then quickly smiled and said, "You're quite the smooth talker. It's so late and you're still out drinking. Tomorrow's Monday, don't you have to work?"
Xie Annan He patted the large bunch of keys around his waist and said, "Do you think I need to work? It's impossible for me to work, I can never work in this lifetime."
Bai Ning looked at the keys around his waist and found it amusing. But she guessed right, this guy dressed like a local landlord's rich second generation who collects rent. Thinking about how she had been looking for so many men in the past few months, but not many of them were well-off. Today, she had to make some money.
"Since that's the case, then let's have a good drink together."
"Sure." Xie Annan downed the beer in his glass, then turned to the bar to order a bottle of red wine. He added two preserved plums to it and started toasting and drinking heavily with Bai Ning.
After drinking about half a bottle of red wine, Bai Ning's cheeks were already flushed. She hugged Xie Annan's neck and drunkenly said, "It's too noisy here, let's go outside and find a quiet place to drink!"
Xie Annan was also a little dizzy, and he stared at Bai Ning and said, "Of course." He then helped her up and out of the bar, hailed a taxi, and the two of them naturally went to a nearby hotel.
Opened the hotel room door, Xie Annan was not lit, roughly tore open Bai Ning's clothes, kissing every part of this woman's body, her mouth full of alcohol, and her neck with the smell of cheap perfume.
This night didn't seem to be very enjoyable. Xie Annan lay exhausted on the bed, breathing heavily, while Bai Ning wrapped her legs around his waist and softly said, "You haven't told me your name yet."
"I am Jiang Quan, a thief."
"A thief?" Bai Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're joking again."
Xie Annan Picking up the bunch of keys from the bedside table, he said, "See these? These keys can basically open all the locks on the market."
Bai Ning patted his chest and said, "Hmph, you're making it up. Keep on making it up."
"I steal from households where single women live alone, or from homes where people are away for long periods. Do you know how I do it?"
"How do you do it?"
"Dwellers mostly look at the shoe cabinet at the door. If there are mostly women's shoes of similar sizes, it can be basically judged that there is only one person. For those who are away for a long time, you can stick an advertisement on their door handle. If no one tears it off for two days, you can directly enter their house."
Bai Ning looked at Xie Annan in the dim light and said, "It sounds like it's true, but we women are not that foolish. Many women will deliberately buy one or two pairs of men's shoes to put at the door to deter you perverts."
"It's useless. Experienced thieves are perceptive. They can smell the shoes. If they don't smell like men's shoes, they know they were bought to deceive people. I used to have a friend who was a professional thief. Whenever he saw men's shoes at the door, he would smell them to confirm their authenticity."
"So impressive?"
"Not impressive, he's just being stupid. Later, he died from a lung infection caused by inhaling a man's shoes."
Bai Ning laughed, "Hahaha, is this for real?"
"Fake, let's go to sleep, I'm tired." Xie Annan turned over, hugged Bai Ning, and stopped talking.
After about half an hour, Xie Annan heard Bai Ning's light snoring, so he carefully pulled out his arm, put on his clothes, and took the money and phone from Bai Ning's clothes.
He covered Bai Ning with a blanket and whispered, "Silly, the joke is fake, but I being a thief is real."
