I'm in the world of Xianjian

Lin Shen and his five companions found a restaurant. Lin Shen asked if they had Yangzhou fried rice. The restaurant owner said yes, but the remaining ingredients were not enough for five people.

Lin Yueru asked how many servings it was, and the shopkeeper asked the waiter to confirm that it was only enough for four people.

Lin Yueru was about to get angry, but Lin Shen suppressed her and asked the shopkeeper to make fried rice.

In fact, everyone understood that Lin Shen didn't want to eat. After all, he didn't feel hungry here, so in Lin Shen's opinion, it didn't matter whether he ate or not.

Zhao Linger looked at Lin Shen and said, "Brother Anos, why are you doing this?"

Lin Shen said, "I'm not hungry. It doesn't matter to me whether I eat or not. I've looked for several places, but either they don't know how to make it or they don't have enough ingredients. It's not easy to find one. It's okay. I'm glad I can eat it."

Zhao Linger exchanged glances with the other three. Lin Shen had no idea what they were thinking. It wasn't long before four steaming bowls of fried rice were served, but the four of them didn't rush to eat.

Lin Shen thought there was something wrong with the ingredients, so he took a quick look and found that the fluffy fried rice was filled with shrimp, eggs, green beans, diced cucumber, and diced chicken breast.

Lin Shengang was wondering why there were no sausages, but then he thought that there seemed to be no sausages at this time, so he said, "Why don't you guys move your chopsticks?"

Anu brought another bowl and a pair of chopsticks. Lin Yueru scooped out a little fried rice from everyone's bowl and put it in the empty bowl, making half a bowl of fried rice, and then gave this half bowl of fried rice to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen asked, "Yueru, what are you doing?"

Lin Yueru said, "We should share the hardship and happiness together."

Lin Shen said, "But what about you? You're on a diet to lose weight."

Anu said, "Brother Anos, please eat something. I can't eat like this."

Zhao Linger said, "Anu is right, Brother Anos, you should eat something too."

Lin Shen looked at the half bowl of fried rice in his hand and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, so he started to pick up his chopsticks like everyone else.

The shopkeeper beside him sighed, "With friends like this, what more could one ask for?"

Anu said, "This fried rice is delicious."

Lin Yueru said, "No wonder Anos kept asking which store sells it. It's really good."

Soon, the five people finished their fried rice and Lin Shen paid for the meal.

But when paying, Lin Shen whispered something in the shopkeeper's ear, which made the shopkeeper stunned. Then he whispered, "You are the expert. I understand. Thank you for your advice."

After saying that, Lin Shen and his group left the restaurant.

Several people were wandering aimlessly on the street. Li Xiaoyao asked, "Anos, what did you say to the shopkeeper just now that made his face change and he was so respectful to you?"

Lin Shen said, "It's actually very simple. I just told him that there's a basic common sense about making fried rice, which is to use leftover rice."

Li Xiaoyao and the others shouted, "Huh? Leftover food?"

Lin Shen said, "It doesn't have to be overnight, but if the rice is left out for a short time, the moisture in the rice grains will affect the taste."

Lin Yueru said, "It seems that you know a little about food."

Lin Shen said, "I can't say I understand, because we make fried rice with leftovers from lunch or the day before. So, what are your plans?"

Anu said, "I want to catch a thief."

Li Xiaoyao said, "We just arrived, it would be a bit inappropriate to act rashly like this."

Anu said, "We are helping the government, how can we act rashly?"

Li Xiaoyao said, "Ling'er, please persuade Anu."

Zhao Linger said, "Brother Xiaoyao, actually... Linger also wants to catch a thief. I haven't even seen what a thief looks like."

Lin Yueru said, "I also think this matter should be resolved as soon as possible."

Li Xiaoyao said, "I'm impressed. Let's go back to the inn and rest. After all, thieves only appear at night, so let's replenish our energy."

So the five of them returned to the inn, and the three girls squeezed together on the bed. Lin Shen was afraid that Li Xiaoyao might have some bad intentions, so he deliberately put a curtain around the bed.

Li Xiaoyao also lay on the table to rest. Lin Shen was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he also covered him with a blanket. Lin Shen was on duty for them to prevent any accidents.

At this time, the system prompt sounded, "Ding! Now issuing the main task: Capture the thief leader Ji Sanniang, regardless of life or death!"

Lin Shen thought to himself: This is exactly what I want to do.

When it was half an hour before midnight, Lin Shen thought it was about time, so he woke up Li Xiaoyao and the other three.

Lin Yueru asked, "What time is it now?"

Lin Shen said, "Two quarters past midnight."

Zhao Linger asked, "Is the thief here?"

Lin Shen said, "Not yet, but we should be prepared."

So everyone was busy and busy. After they were ready, Lin Shen blew out the candle and they waited patiently for the thief to move.

Just after midnight, I heard someone outside shouting, "There's a thief! Catch the thief!"

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru and Anu followed the sound and found two people wearing night clothes and ponytails coming out of Room No. 1. Li Xiaoyao and the other three quickly surrounded the two people.

Li Xiaoyao said, "You little thief, you can't run away."

Anu noticed that Lin Shen hadn't followed him at this time, and asked, "Where's Anos?"

Lin Yueru said, "Let's ignore him for now. Catching these two little thieves is the real thing."

Just as the four were about to catch the two thieves, a smoke bomb was suddenly thrown in from the window.

As the smoke bomb exploded, the thick smoke blinded everyone and the two thieves escaped through the broken window.

The two thieves ran outside, where a leader and five or six other thieves met them. The leader asked, "Did you get the thing?"

One of the burglars said, "I got it. But it's obvious that there are preparations inside."

When the leader heard this, he said, "Hurry up and leave."

At this time, the thieves heard someone shouting, "You want to run away? Have you asked me?"

When they looked over, a man jumped down from the roof and said, "Why, you want to run away after taking someone's things? Did you ask me?"

And that man was none other than Lin Shen who was lying in ambush on the roof.

The leader saw someone was causing trouble and raised his hand. His thieves grabbed their daggers and rushed over. Lin Shen was not to be outdone and used his ring to conjure a pair of claw knives to meet the attack.

The first thief rushed up in a daze and stabbed Lin Shen with a dagger. Lin Shen didn't waste any words and dodged the thief's attack with a sideways move, while holding the claw knife with his left hand.

He used the sharp blade inside the claw knife to cut the thief's throat. The thief covered the wound and died soon after.

Another thief also raised a dagger and stabbed at Lin Shen. Lin Shen grabbed the thief's wrist with his left hand, and stabbed the thief's heart with the tip of the claw knife in his right hand. After stabbing him three times, he kicked him away.

The thief fell in front of the leader, struggled for a few times and then died.

At this time, two more thieves rushed over from the left and right. Lin Shen took a look and held the claw knife with both hands, with the blade facing outwards, and rushed towards the thieves.

There was a flash of cold light, and a wound was cut on the necks of the two thieves, and blood spurted out from the wounds.

The leader and the remaining thieves were startled. Lin Shen said, "Hand over the stolen things!"

When the leader saw this, he had no choice but to throw the stolen package over, and Lin Shen caught it with one hand.

Lin Shen used his skills to check and found that there was no purple gold gourd inside. He said, "Hey, don't leave yet, there are still things."

The leader pretended to be crazy and said, "What are you talking about? I don't know what you are talking about."

"Don't give me that. There should be a gourd."

"What kind of gourd? I don't know."

"Stop pretending, gourd or head, pick one."

The leader had no choice but to throw the gourd to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen checked and found that it was indeed the Purple Gold Gourd. At this moment, the leader ran away with the remaining followers.

Lin Shen complained in his heart: He runs quite fast.

Just as Lin Shen was about to turn around, he heard some noise. He used his ring to conjure a kunai and threw it towards the source of the sound.

Not long after, I heard a scream of "Ah~", followed by another shout, "Good boy, you'll get what you deserve. Sooner or later, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Then someone shouted, "Chief!"

When Lin Shen heard this, he knew that he had stabbed the leader of the thieves, so he took the package and gourd and walked back.

At this time, Li Xiaoyao and his companions also caught up and asked, "Where is the thief?"

Lin Shen said, "He ran away, but fortunately the package was retrieved."

So a few people came to Room No. 1, where an antique dealer named Zhang lived.

After Lin Shen handed the package to the antique dealer, the antique dealer counted it and made sure everything was there, and expressed his gratitude to Lin Shen and the others.
