After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 148

After resolving the Zhang Yu family's matter, Bai Lu and Bai Chen returned to the old locust tree. They wondered how Grandpa Xu was doing in the illusion array, as he still hadn't come out.

"Sis, how do we get back now?"

Bai Chen leaned against the thick trunk of the locust tree, yawning, "Do we still need to pass?"

"I won't lend it to you anymore. I'll take you to a high-level game today."

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she lifted Bai Chen into the air. The moment the air brushed against his cheeks, Bai Chen almost shouted out in excitement.

If you take a straight line from Yangcheng city to Dongshi Village, it's quite short. According to navigation, it's more than 30 kilometers, but once you cross a mountain about 800 meters high—named Moon Mountain, after a large crescent-shaped rock on its summit—it's only 5 kilometers away.

Grandpa Bai once told Bai Lu and the others that in the past, to sell mountain products, they would climb over this mountain and cross a reservoir.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the vast reservoir resembled a bottomless abyss. Water, by its very nature, is yin, and as one flew over the reservoir, one could clearly feel the dampness and yin energy permeating the water's surface.

The moonstone is really high. The egret has never flown that high before. She doesn't have a flying artifact, and her current cultivation level is not enough to fly for a long time. She can only use other forces to fly upwards, such as stepping on the top of a tree.

The animals in the mountains were asleep early, but today an annoying fellow came and made a racket.

Having an absolute God's-eye view from the air is like a teacher on the podium, who can see everything you do in the audience.

"Have we been robbed?"

Bai Chen looked down at the furtive figure in his vegetable garden. The person thought they were being very cautious, glancing around every two vegetables they picked, as if afraid of being discovered. Beside them were two large, bulging plastic bags. What kind of good Samaritan steals vegetables and then carries plastic bags?!
How greedy must one be?!
Moreover, this person was very cunning. He didn't just pick vegetables from one patch; he moved from one spot to another. He filled two plastic bags, and unless you looked closely, you wouldn't notice that there were missing vegetables in the field!

And judging from his skillful technique, he's obviously a repeat offender!
This is definitely not the first time he's come to steal vegetables!
Bailu didn't take any anti-theft measures regarding the "vegetable theft." It's impossible that she would constantly project her divine sense to spy on the village while cultivating or resting at home. She's not idle; she wouldn't do such a despicable thing.

Moreover, there were no obvious signs of vegetables being stolen in the field, which is why they didn't notice it until tonight. If they hadn't run into them tonight, the thief would have been rolling in money!

"That's right, taking something without asking is stealing! Let's go down and take a look."

The egret landed silently, watching the figure busily working in the vegetable garden. The person was thin and bony, looking even more like a paper doll in the darkness, and would occasionally chuckle, as if very happy.

"Ahem—" The egret coughed lightly, the soft sound standing out clearly in the quiet night.

"Uncle Achu, are you busy?"

The thief was none other than Bai Qiu, a notorious scoundrel in the village. He was idle and often committed petty theft, and the villagers kept their distance from him.

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Qiu was so startled that he dropped the vegetables he was holding to the ground.

He turned his head and saw Bai Lu and Bai Chen standing on either side of him in the moonlight, tilting their heads and looking at him with smiles.

The moon wasn't very bright today, but the expressions on their faces were clearly visible. Bai Qiu was so frightened that he plopped down on the food.
