The Mo Family Village was silent. Now that the spring planting was over, there was not much to do. The villagers, accustomed to frugality, all went to bed early to save some lamp oil.

Big Bull, who had already been sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes wide and perked up his ears, listening alertly to the noises outside.
"Brother Erlai, if we go in and steal, will that idiot Big Bull find out?" a voice, fraught with nervousness and slightly audible, was particularly clear in the quiet night.
"Shush! Do you want to die? Why are you so loud? Do you want to wake them all up?" Erlaizi hissed, cursing softly.
"I... I... It's my first time doing this, I forgot we are at someone else's house." Crooked Mouth said, embarrassed, offering a sheepish smile.
