Stealing ear bells: it turned out to be stealing ear bells. Cover: cover; Steal: steal. Cover one's ears and steal bells; Thought I couldn't hear you; No one can hear you. Metaphor self-deception

Source: Lu's "Spring and Autumn Self-knowledge": "Fan died and the people got a clock. If they want to leave, the bell is too loud to be negative; If the spine is damaged, the bell will ring. If you are afraid that people will smell it and catch you, cover their ears. The wicked can smell it; If you are evil, you will hear it from yourself, which is the opposite.
