Chapter 254: First Time as a Thief
Doudou was originally planning to look for Duoduo, but halfway through his flight, he saw a duck flying in the sky.

She was so surprised that she started chasing the duck instead.

Well, she just thought it was a duck, but in fact it was a bittern, also known as a white-eared night heron.

This is a nocturnal bird.

Apart from the beak, its appearance actually does look a bit like a duck, so it's no wonder Doudou made a mistake.

"Little duck, don't run, I will take you home." Doudou said.

The Qionghai bittern was frightened by her and kept changing its direction and flying posture, but it couldn't get rid of her and could only stay in the air until it fell.

But Doudou was not going to let her go, and he fell from the sky with a gust of cold wind.

But as soon as she landed, she was suddenly stunned. Why could this duck see her?

She looked down at her body, then reached out her hand and scratched the tree trunk next to her twice. Then she was absolutely sure that she had not been visible. Logically, the duck should not have been able to see her.

Is this duck the same as the sweet potato pot, or is the sweet potato pot like this duck?
The sweet potato pot is a duck, hehe~, Doudou made himself laugh.

Then I suddenly remembered, where did the duck go?

I walked around in a circle and looked left and right, but there was no sign of the duck.

"Little duck, where are you?"

"strangeness."

Doudou scratched his head and looked around.

This is a very remote street with few people. Well, maybe it’s just because it’s night and there are not many people.

After all, there are still many streets on both sides of the road.

Doudou looked at the dark alley next to her. The duck should have run in, but she was a little afraid to go in. What if there was a ghost? It would be scary.

Oh, that's not right, I'm a ghost too, hehehe...

Doudou made himself laugh again and was spinning around happily.

At this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a young man in front of her acting sneakily.

"Thief?"

Doudou instantly perked up, stirred up a small gust of cold wind, and followed quietly.

The little brother that Doudou mentioned was a teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old. At this moment, he was standing outside a cake shop, peeking inside.

"A thief who wants to steal the cake." Doudou was excited.

Should I tell the police? Or should I tell Fanshu Guoguo?

At this moment, the young man took out a piece of wire and tapped the door lock twice, and the U-shaped lock that was originally locked was opened.

Then he opened the glass door of the cake shop and tiptoed in. Doudou followed him curiously. She also tiptoed and walked in stealthily like a thief.

But the young man went straight to the glass cabinet, opened the door, took out a piece of cake from it, stuffed it into his mouth, and gobbled it up.

He was very purposeful and did not rummage around the store. Instead, he took a few plastic bags and stuffed all the cakes in the glass cabinet into the bags.

Then he carried his things out of the door, and thoughtfully locked the door.

When he reached the door, the boy put down the bag and breathed a long sigh, as if to ease the tension in his heart.

Doudou also breathed a sigh of relief. It was her first time as a thief and she was very nervous, but it felt very exciting, even though she didn't steal anything.

After the boy let out a long sigh, he picked up the bag again and walked forward while eating. Doudou followed him curiously, wanting to see where he was going.

The boy took many turns and finally came to an abandoned old house overgrown with weeds.

In fact, it is not abandoned, but it has been uninhabited for a long time. The house is not small, and it looks like it is not a residence, but a former office space.

The outside was surrounded by barbed wire, with only a big iron gate with a big iron lock on it.

However, the boy did not enter by unlocking the door, but instead crawled in through a hole in the barbed wire fence nearby.

The boy came to the second floor, gently pushed open the door of a room and walked in.

Although there is no electricity, the moonlight is very bright tonight, so I can just barely see inside the house.

The room was in a mess, with all kinds of things scattered everywhere. In the corner, there was a bed made of cardboard, covered with a tattered mosquito net. "Xiaoxue, are you asleep?" the boy asked.

"elder brother."

The mosquito net was lifted, revealing a little girl who was probably only seven or eight years old.

Apart from her hair being a little messy, the girl was actually quite neat.

"Look what I brought you?"

The boy waved the bag in front of the girl with some pride.

Xiaoxue sniffed and asked excitedly, "Cake?"

"Yes, eat quickly. You didn't have dinner last night. You must be hungry." The boy opened the bag and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, brother." Xiaoxue said happily.

The boy put down the bag, took out a box of milk from the corner and handed it to Xiaoxue.

"You need to drink more milk so that you can grow taller," said the boy.

Xiaoxue took it and said, "Brother, you eat too."

"I've already eaten." said the boy.

"Brother, where did you get the cake?" Xiaoxue asked while eating.

"I stole it from the cake shop we saw yesterday."

Xiaoxue fell silent after hearing this. The boy continued, "Xiaoxue, it's wrong for me to steal things. Don't learn from me in the future. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll steal it."

"Brother, you are so nice." Xiaoxue said.

"What's so good about me? I'm a thief." said the boy.

"But I just think my brother is good. If I didn't have my brother, I would have starved to death long ago." Xiaoxue said.

The young man laughed when he heard this, and his laugh was particularly happy.

He didn't know where to find a candle and lit it. A faint light flickered in the room, filling the entire house.

Doudou scratched his head and wiped his eyes. Oh, he was so touched.

Is this girl Cinderella? Is she Snow White?
"Her mother must be very mean and don't like her very much." Doudou said angrily.

"I'm not a bad person at all, and I don't dislike her." A woman next to her suddenly spoke up.

Well, this is not a human, it’s a ghost, and this person is Xiaoxue’s mother.

"I mean stepmother." Doudou said.

She has watched a lot of animation and is very experienced in this kind of thing.

"Xiaoxue doesn't have a stepmother either," said the woman.

Huh? Why is this different from what I thought?

"Is that my stepfather?" Doudou asked tentatively.

"Xiaoxue has no father, let alone a stepfather," said the woman.

Doudou took a deep breath when he heard this. It really broadened his horizons to realize that there are still children without fathers in this world.

The woman was also helpless, feeling that she couldn't communicate with this kid at all.

But her sudden intrusion also scared her.

But Doudou soon came to his senses.

"Little sister has no father, and you are dead, so little sister can only be taken care of by little brother, right?" Doudou said proudly.

The woman nodded, then shook her head.

"He is not Xiaoxue's brother." said the woman.

Doudou scratched his head, feeling very complicated.
