Chapter 70: Rat Stealing Flowers
"No... nothing, go ahead and burn some paper on the incense stick in front of the graves of the two seniors. It can be regarded as my junior's respect for the seniors." Wushuang explained weakly.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. The two of them sat quietly on the tree branches and were ambushing. The surroundings were silently dark, and even the last light in the flower room was gone. It was midnight now.
Wushuang closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her ears stood up and listened carefully to the wind and wind around her, but there was no other sound around except for the occasional cold wind.
"He may not be here." Wushuang whispered with her eyes closed.
"No, he has come. I have already smelled the fragrance of wintersweet on him." Lan Caidian said.
"His he found us?"
"He should be waiting like us. He knows we are hiding nearby, and he wants to wait for us to reveal his flaws first. Master, don't be anxious. This is a protracted battle, it depends on who can hold on."
Time passed by minute by minute, and the summer resort was as silent as a huge grave, with no figure or a trace of light. It was two o'clock in the morning, and Boss Grey didn't have much time left, but he still didn't take action.
"Shhh..." Lan Caidie rushed over Wushuang with her mouth pressed to signal him to look down.
Just look at the tree, three big rats with sting eyes were slapped into a row and moving towards the flower room against the base of the wall. The first rat looked like a pioneer, walking and stopping, looking around, and the remaining two were about twenty meters behind it, always maintaining a formation.
This gray boss is indeed smart. He was afraid that he would be caught by Ma Fuxiang once he showed up, so he instructed these little beasts to come and steal flowers.
"My master, look, see what is the big mouse spitting out of his mouth?" Lan Caidie stared at the mouse's every move that was hitting his head. Seeing the mouse rushing to the flower room and lowering his head as if he was spitting out of his mouth.
"It's stomach acid! Mouses have stronger stomach acid than ordinary animals because they eat rotten all year round and the stomach acid concentration is very strong. I know, these rats want to dig holes and steal flowers."
The three big rats rushed over and all started to reflux acid from their stomachs. The high concentration of gastric acid began to corrode the frozen soil bit by bit. The mouse's ability to dig holes was unique. I'm afraid that even the thief's lieutenant who was holding a Luoyang shovel could not compare with others. In a short while, the three big rats had already crawled into the deep hole about half a meter square that they had hit.
"Caidie, where is he hiding?"
"I can't be sure, either, the fragrance of flowers is too strong to smell, but what is certain is that this guy must be hiding nearby. If it goes beyond the range, he can't control the mice."
In fact, Boss Grey is only a few dozen meters away from them. This demon beggar is so alert that he has long discovered the hiding place between Wushuang and Lan Caidian, so he did not personally steal the seven-star begonia. However, even though he knew that he might be caught, he still had to steal it, because the seven-star begonia is too precious and rare in a century. His demonic technique now lacks this kind of flavor. He is confident that with those rats, Wushuang and others dare not do anything to him.
There is a saying among the people that when rats cross the street, everyone shouts to beat them, which means that this mouse is born to steal thieves who are not popular. The mouse has great ability to steal things. From ancient times to the present, many famous thieves have good at using this ability to drive away beasts. Even if the mouse goes deep into the palace, it is like walking on flat ground. A mere flower room cannot stop them.
After about ten minutes, the three big rats surrounded each other with a pot of beautiful vegetation. It was the seven-star begonia!
The most expensive pot of flowers in the flower room is the most expensive. This is the king of flowers in Dali! How can there be no anti-theft measures? The alarm started to scream, and three big rats surrounded each other and rushed out of the pot of flowers. Even Liu Xiang could not catch up with the speed of running.
Not far away, a black shadow flashed out, took the Qixing Haitao and took three big mice and sneaked away while the moonlight.
"Chasing!" Wushuang and Lan Caidian followed closely behind.
The two sides were in a tug-of-war with each other. The grey boss was not bad at his feet. At such an old age, he was walking on the flat ground in the night, and his speed was really like a four-legged mouse. However, Wushuang and Caidie were not given for nothing. The first thing the descendants of the thief had to practice was leg and foot skills. In the early years, they were all from bandits in the world and stole other people's things. There were probably many officials behind him chasing him. If they ran slowly, they would be admitted.
"Why is this hissing running so fast?" Wushuang was already running out of breath, but she still couldn't keep up with that guy.
In the blink of an eye, the boss of Gray had already rushed out of the big wall of the Summer Resort, and Wushuang and Caidie followed. The Summer Resort was in Chengde city and entered the street. If you were thrown away, it would not be so easy for you to chase after him.
"Caidie, where is it going further?"
"The mountain ahead is about to leave the city, why is he still running? Wouldn't he go back to his lair?"
"It seems to be Erlong Mountain here?" Wushuang and the others chased each other while leaving a secret code for the thief wherever they passed.
The cold Erlong Mountain is right in front of you. It is already rare to see here. Boss Hui and three rats crawled into the mountain and disappeared again. Erlong Mountain is full of desolate graves, densely packed, and there are eight thousand old brothers sleeping there.
"My master, are you still chasing me?" Lan Caidie stopped.
"Stop chasing others, wait for the rest. There are too many things to pay attention to on Erlong Mountain, so don't disturb the quietness of the old brothers."
In the second half of the night, there was a strangeness everywhere in Erlong Mountain, with ghosts and wolves crying and howling on the mountain. Those former brothers were telling the new leader of the thief in a unique form about their glorious years, which made people shudder.
"Hmm? Master, it seems that someone is there?" Lan Caidian narrowed his eyes and pointed at an old tree on the rugged road on the mountainside.
Looking in the direction of her finger, it seemed that there was a blurry figure staggeringly, but the distance was too far, and I could only vaguely see that the man was not young, holding a lantern in his hand, and the dim light illuminated the mountain road under his feet.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's go, follow me and take a look!"
The old man watched him walking staggeringly, but he was not slow to walk. The two young men were desperately chasing him, but no matter how you chase him, the old man holding a lantern always kept a uniform distance from you and couldn't catch up with him.
