Chapter 1323: I Won’t Laugh
Old Zhang added, “That’s right. As the saying goes, the concern of a thief is more dreadful than his action. You can’t possibly guard such a large mountain every day, right?”
Old Li immediately said, “We’ll report. We can turn state’s evidence!”
Upon seeing how sincere the two of them were shouting, Salted Fish said, “I’m suddenly moved by these two kids. They are speaking too sincerely. What do you think?”
Red Boy nodded slightly…
When Old Zhang and Old Li saw this, they really cried. The two great demon kings finally gave the approval. It seemed like they had been saved.
However, they heard Monkey, who looked rather amiable, say, “Seeing how they are still alive and kicking, let’s roast them a little while longer…”
Hearing this, Old Zhang’s vision went black as he fainted.
Old Li was about to faint as well when he saw Salted Fish open his mouth. “Take the ancestor’s thick phlegm!”
Piak!
A chill ran down Old Li’s face, jolting him awake. However, the weird smell lingering at his nose made him vomit.
Salted Fish ignored him and asked, “Speak. If it takes too longer, you’ll be cooked. You’ll lose the chance of saying anything.”
Just as Old Li was thinking about how many answers he had to give, he heard excited shouts from afar. He looked up and saw a majestic squirrel standing above a huge white wolf’s head. Squirrel shouted excitedly, “Phew—ha! Run!”
He waved the bamboo strip and whipped Old Zhao and Old Zhou ahead of him. Their clothes were tattered, and the feathers in their down jackets flew out every time they were whipped!
The two looked so tired that they could spit out their tongues, but they did not dare stop. They cried out in pain but did not have the strength to shout.
Old Li suddenly felt that he was lucky. One Finger Monastery was filled with a bunch of demons!
Playing mind games with demons?
All of a sudden, he felt that it was equivalent to courting death in different ways!
Thus, Old Li said, “The five of us are called the Five Surname Group. We don’t even know each other’s names. Everyone uses their code names, which are the five commonest surnames—Zhang, w.a.n.g, Li, Zhao, and Zhou.
We are actually not bad…”
Monkey silently took a pole and flipped through the fire pile, causing the fire to intensify.
Old Li said with a sobbing tone, “Alright, we are not good people…”
Monkey peed at it, extinguis.h.i.+ng the fire a little.
Salted Fish looked at Monkey and shook his head slightly as he mumbled. “Indeed, One Finger Monastery’s most evil one with the best facade is this monkey…”
Old Li hurriedly said, “Our main business is to steal and cheat. The deal we received this time came from America. I don’t know who the other party is either. I’ve never met him before and only know they are rich. This is because the other party gave us 200,000 yuan of travel expenses on their first meeting. Furthermore, the other party clearly said that as long as we can steal the Frost Bamboo seedlings and the stone slab’s rubbing, he can give us 100 million USD as compensation.
“100 million USD. How much money is that? We’ve never seen so much money in our lives.
“However, 100 million USD isn’t just for us.
“According to him, it seems more like a bounty.
“No matter who it is, as long as they complete these two missions, they would receive 100 million USD.
“If you finish half the mission, half is received.”
When Red Boy heard that, he asked, “Do you mean that the other party has hired others?”
Old Li nodded. “That’s right. The other party is in charge of carpet bombing, and has hired many people. I’m not sure how many there are. We are closer, so we can be considered the first batch. Later on, there will definitely be more people taking the opportunity to head up the mountain to steal. You have to be careful. Those people are not good.”
“You speak as though you are good.” Salted Fish smacked his lips.
Old Li said bitterly, “Brother Demons, Ancestors, look. I’ve already said everything I need to say. Can you let me down? I still have a few children and elderly at home…”
“That doesn’t matter. The police are here; leave with them.” Red Boy chuckled.
It turned out that Red Boy had already called the police when Old Li was hung up.
It was a familiar face—Bao Yuluo. Ever since Bao Yuluo contacted Fangzheng a few times, she was considered an acquaintance of One Finger Monastery.
It was unknown what the higher-ups were planning. They had transferred Bao Yuluo to One Finger Village to be responsible for the security of the area.
As soon as Bao Yuluo arrived, she saw the two unlucky fools that were shrouded in black smoke. She almost burst out laughing when she saw their dark and pitiful appearance.
However, Bao Yuluo still cared very much about her image. She didn’t laugh and went forward. “Are they alright?”
Monkey said, “Don’t worry. It’s a cold day, so we started a fire for them. They won’t die from the cold.”
Bao Yuluo was rendered speechless. Were they going to freaking freeze to death like this? This was burning them to death!
Bao Yuluo nodded slightly as her face remained expressionless. “That’s good. Watch them. I’ll go take a look at the other side.”
After Bao Yuluo said that, she left. Not long after, a joyful laughter came from behind a boulder…
Another old-looking policeman who came with Bao Yuluo shook his head slightly and mumbled. “She’s still too young. She can’t hold back her laughter.”
At that moment, he heard grunting sounds. He looked over and saw the cla.s.sic scene. Old Zhao and Old Zhou ran to the policeman and collapsed on the ground. They hugged his thigh and refused to let go. They shouted, “Help! Arrest me!”
Before the policeman could figure out what was going on, two people covered in white feathers appeared at his feet…
Following that, there was an emergency halt. A huge white wolf stopped in front of him, and there was an excited squirrel brandis.h.i.+ng a tiny bamboo pole.
He looked at Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and the two unlucky ones…
The old policeman bent over and removed their hands. At the same time, he consoled them, “Please let go of me and sit properly. I’m here. It’s fine.”
Old Zhou cried, “Don’t let him hit me… It f**king hurts…”
Old Zhao said, “Even the Ten Greatest Punishments of the Manchus isn’t this hars.h.!.+ That squirrel aims specially at the b.a.l.l.s… My b.a.l.l.s have almost liquefied…”
The old policeman patted the two of them before saying to Monkey and company, “Watch them. I’ll go see how’s Yuluo.”
Then, the old policeman left as well. After a while, the sound of crazy laughter from two people burst out behind the boulder…
The group of people on the other side instantly petrified… F*ck, they were both the same!
After a while, Bao Yuluo and the old policeman came back. They were tensed up their faces as they cuffed the four of them in pairs.
At that moment, Bao Yuluo asked, “Aren’t there five people? What about the last one?”
Red Boy looked at Squirrel, and Squirrel looked at Monkey. Monkey shrugged and said, “Uh, perhaps he lost his way in the bamboo forest.”
At the same time, in the bamboo forest.
“Who can save me! How am I supposed to get out? Save me!” Old Wong sat on the snow and wailed.
