wallet.
"I knew it."
Mori Yuesha rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"You really waste no time in exercising your little hobby, Mr. Jonathan."
Jonathan looked at Mori Yuesha humbly, with a flattering look on his face.
"Don't tell Eve, Little Forest, we'll be half and half."
Mori Yuesa said nothing, took the wallet from the other person and opened it - inside was a photo of a man, a few banknotes, a key hidden in the crack, and two boat tickets with dates in the future.
Chapter 5 Thief's Ambition
"So, my dear brother, you are back to your old ways?"
Evelin handed Mori Yuesha a cup of steaming black tea, then stood up, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the cowering man in front of her with dissatisfaction.
The two girls, one big and one small, were like a relay race. First, Mori Yuesha held Jonathan's collar and escorted him back. After greeting the curator who was already used to it, Evelyn continued the relay and threw her unlucky brother into the museum completely.
Only when she kept an eye on him constantly could Evelin breathe a sigh of relief.
"I…I couldn't help it."
“You couldn’t help it?!” Evelin’s eyes widened in anger: “Are these the words men love to say the most?”
"I couldn't help it?"
"sorry?"
"Oh, how am I?"
Jonathan raised his eyes quietly and continued carefully: "And 'Am I good?'..."
"Shut up, Jonathan!"
Evelyn stomped around in the empty museum. Mummies and golden coffins were neatly stacked, fake torch-like lights stood on both sides of the walls, and an expensive miniature sphinx was placed at the innermost.
“You…!” Evelin was very angry: “How can I explain this to my mother?”
"That her son was arrested for theft?"
Jonathan whispered back, "I wasn't caught."
Mori Yuesa covered her mouth and giggled, taking off her high heels with her little feet, curling up comfortably in the big chair, hugging her knees and rubbing her chin back and forth.
Evelin glanced back at Sen Yuesha, and when she turned back, she became even more annoyed: “You have led Xiao Lin Lin astray! My dear brother, I still have to prepare to go to school to continue my studies, so I don’t have time to visit you in prison!”
"You can come visit me during the holidays..."
"Jonathan!"
"Leading Little Forest astray? Last time she almost broke my arm..." Jonathan nodded and shook his head: "I know, I know, Eve. Look, why are you always angry with me? I'm your brother..."
In the eyes of the always confident man, he was a few years older than his sister, and this was one of his specialties, and it was blasphemous enough not to add the words "wonderful" or "top" to it. If it weren't for Mori Yuesha's obstruction, he could even steal everyone in the restaurant from beginning to end.
The charming and pretty Miss Afaf is not as attractive as those pot-bellied businessmen.
"Because I don't want my brother to become a thief!"
Jonathan walked to the table, poured himself a cup of black tea, and strolled aside with the cup in his hand, under his sister's angry eyes.
He picked up the scepter from Pharaoh's hand, twirled it in his palm, absent-mindedly.
"My career will take off one day." The scepter inlaid with gems continued to turn around, "and then you will know that your brother is right."
“Career?” Evelyn repeated sarcastically, “You call this a career?”
"Of course, maybe I can bring you a surprise. You know, we are in the hometown of mummies--" The man with pride turned the scepter: "Mummy... Mummy, you know those--"
In a moment of carelessness, the scepter slipped out of his hand.
"Mummy—ouch!"
Snapped.
Mori Yuesha suddenly leaned forward and caught the fragile object inlaid with gems and worth a lot of money with one hand.
Then, he stood up, walked slowly past the man, and put it back into Pharaoh's hand.
Evelyn turned her gaze back and pursed her lips into a line.
"Okay..." Jonathan moved his palms, seeming to feel a little embarrassed about his mistake just now: "I promise..."
"you promise?"
Jonathan's face fell: "Promise...try your best."
After all, he was her brother, and Evelyn really had no way to deal with him—she could only take the wallet out of Jonathan's lining and walk out angrily.
"I'll hand it over to the police. Also, if you do this again..."
Dengdengdeng.
The high heels roared away.
Peace returned to the dark museum.
Snoring——
Mori Yuesha drank black tea in small sips and produced a few square light yellow sweet biscuits from somewhere, eating and drinking comfortably.
"Little Forest, my sister is so terrible." Poor Jonathan raised his head and drank all the black tea, walked to a golden coffin in his leather shoes, bent his knees and jumped on it.
"Evelyn doesn't want to see you in prison." Mori Yuesha bit off half of the cookie with a "crunch", her little fangs showing white.
Jonathan sighed and rubbed the lining with his hand. "My career will take off sooner or later."
"You really should change your bad habits. You guys are not short of money."
"But not rich."
"So you want to rely on stealing to give your sister a good life?" Mori Yuesha absentmindedly played with her long nails: "To be honest, Jonathan, Eve is already very dissatisfied, she is not kidding you. You don't want to break off relations with your sister one day, do you?"
Jonathan smiled playfully: "How is that possible? Just a little bit..."
He made a tiny gap with his fingers and said, "I will stop when the money is enough for her to go to the school she likes and when it is almost enough to buy her a big house."
Mori Yuesha slowly swallowed the biscuits, took a sip of red tea, and held the teacup with a half-smile.
"I didn't steal it casually," Jonathan jumped off the coffin with a bang, his face full of excitement, "We are in the hometown of the mummy. When I find the map of Hamunatta, or... something else, the gold coins as big as the sea, the flowing river of gems, will all belong to my sister!"
"Evelyn doesn't need these, Jonathan." Mori Yuesha was very annoyed by the self-talk of this sister-con. She pressed her index finger on her temple and rubbed it: "She wants to prove that the legend is true, the Golden Sutra of the Sun--"
Jonathan waved his hands violently: "Of course, who doesn't want to prove that the legend is true, don't you?"
The man looked at Mori Yuesha, and there seemed to be a flame dancing in his dark eyes: "What do you like? Huh, are you going to go to bed with the book "Sacred Stone" and "Legend" soon?"
"You want dragons. You want those little creatures that were active in the sky thousands of years ago."
Mori Yuesha's expression was completely different from before. Her eyes widened and her hands were raised high: "I want a pet!"
Jonathan rolled his eyes and scratched his chin. "I remember it was said in Legends that people back then didn't treat dragons as pets. They were companions, partners who lived together!"
Mori Yuesha shook her palm: "Then... I want a companion!"
"Whatever you say." The man tapped his shoes unhappily and waved his index finger in front of his eyes a few times, looking dissatisfied. "Anyway, you two just wait. When that day comes, you have to praise me well once."
Mori Yuesha lowered her arms and held up her disgusted face. Her cuteness disappeared all at once: "I hope... it's not in the police station."
"That's impossible! Hey, you've seen my amazing skills!" Jonathan made a gesture of holding his wallet.
Mori Yuesa stood up and left leisurely, her little skirt swaying in the light.
"Yes, you almost became disabled that day."
Chapter 6 Miss Taiya
Mori Yuesha likes this kind of long-lasting life very much. Maybe it would be even more wonderful if she could go to some bizarre world.
Every time this happens, she feels satisfied in her heart, as if only curiosity can keep burning and drive this lazy non-human creature to move her little feet.
Just like this Miss Taiya who is wrapped tightly in black gauze.
Director Terrence usually requested that the museum be closed between 8 and 8:30 in the evening. The half hour left was for the troublesome Miss Evelyn to deal with her strong desire for knowledge and curiosity, but today, it was not her who was procrastinating.
"Ms. Taiya, we are closing the museum."
Evelyn carefully put the decades-old manuscript in her hand back into the box. In the library on the left side of the museum partition, Taiya, dressed in black, was still wandering around.
She was the only one left in the entire museum.
"Ms. Taiya?"
Evelyn poked her head out from behind the bookshelf and didn't see Taiya, but she caught a glimpse of Mori Yuesha sitting on a bench writing and drawing.
"Xiao Linlin, where is Miss Taiya?"
Mori Yuesa lifted her hair and pointed to the bookshelf on the other side.
This lady seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable today - I don't know if it's physical or mental.
At dawn today, she was waiting at the door early. When Evelin pushed open the door of the museum, she limped in and stayed here all day.
I didn’t even eat.
Mori Yuesha noticed that when Evelyn started to busy herself with her own research, the local lady did not seem to pick up any books to pass the time like last time. She seemed a little anxious and worried.
"Little Forest."
After Evelin packed up her things, she quietly walked over, put her head next to Mori Yuesha and whispered, “This woman is weird.”
Evelin had of course noticed the other person’s behavior of not eating or drinking for a day and his strange posture when walking, and her brows had not been relaxed since the afternoon.
"That's their business. You know, the locals tend to have strange behaviors, or something we don't understand..." Mori Yuesha picked up a book beside her legs and handed it to Evelyn.
"Have you finished the inventory?"
Evelyn nodded and took off her old-fashioned round-frame glasses. Counting the books, collecting and maintaining them according to the coded records was the job of Mori Yuesha and Evelyn, and they had to do it every two days.
"Just let her go like that?"
Evelyn hesitantly turned to Mori Yuesha, who was a few years younger than her, for help. This young woman, who had already reached adulthood, was a little overwhelmed. Having been immersed in academic life for many years, it was difficult for her to reject a poor woman in a serious tone.
Besides, she could see that the other party really didn't want to leave, and the clock had already passed the scheduled closing time for a long time.
"I'll ask."
Mori Yuesha didn't want to wait here, so she pulled the hem of her skirt and stood up. The light sound of her high heels on the floor tiles echoed in the empty museum hall.
After hearing this, Taiya started to get nervous.
"Ms. Taiya, we are closing the museum."
The expression of the woman wrapped in black veil changed rapidly - it could be seen from her exposed eyes that this lady, perhaps because she had been staying at home for a long time, seldom interacted with people and did not understand socializing, so when Mori Yuesha spoke directly, she began to panic.
"I...I want to wait a little longer..." The woman lowered her head and took two quick steps, like a herbivore being chased by a cheetah. Even a whisper could scare her.
"Ms. Taiya, you can come back tomorrow."
"No, no!" Taiya raised her head suddenly, with only a pair of frightened eyes on her face covered by a black veil: "No... I'm sorry, I..."
Mori Yuesha tilted her head thoughtfully: "Eh..."
“Does it have to be in a museum?”
Taiya panicked and didn't know what to do. He took a few steps back stiffly, and then the light in his pupils gradually went out.
"I...I'll leave right away..."
Mori Yuesha walked around the woman in black with her hands behind her back, jumped a few times, raised her chin and said with a smile: "Would you like to visit my home?"
"Although I'm not a local, I'm much richer than most locals. How about having a cup of coffee?"
The little girl invited the woman wrapped in a black robe. Her pupils reflected the ancient Egyptian-style decorations and her smile seemed to be painted with a layer of dazzling gold.
