Volume 3 The Unfettered Disciples Chapter 2 The Punishment of Thieves
Gu Yao searched all over his body almost like crazy, almost naked, but he could still find the money bag.
Did you lose it? Cold sweat rolled down Gu Yao's face. Since it was his first time riding a horse and he was uneasy, he most likely lost it in the bumps on the road.
That was the greatest wealth in his life. Gu Yao felt like crying without tears. What was even worse was that it was thrown away at the wrong time.
Alone outside, hungry, but losing his money bag, Gu Yao was about to explode and couldn't help but curse: "Fuck!"
"Brother Gu Yao, what did you say?" Han Dan didn't know that it was a curse word.
Gu Yao suppressed the frustration in his heart: "It's nothing, Dandan."
Han Dan said: "Brother Gu Yao, let's go have dinner."
"This..." Gu Yao was in a dilemma, he didn't know how to say this.
Han Dahu entrusted Han Dan to his care, but her first meal was not delivered. Isn't it ridiculous?
Gritting his teeth, Gu Yao pulled the horse to a secluded alley and said to Han Dan: "Wait for me here. I'll ask where there is a restaurant. I'll be back soon."
Han Dan nodded and said, "Okay, brother Gu Yao, come back soon."
Gu Yao responded and then got into the crowd. Of course, he was not really going to ask about a restaurant, but was going to steal money.
In this situation, we can only go back to our old business.
If you are alone, you can go to the wild to find some wild fruit grass roots to solve the problem, but Han Dan, who grew up in a wealthy family since childhood, is not used to eating those things.
Today happens to be market day in the town, and there are huge crowds of people, which is a good time for thieves to attack.
After wandering around the crowd for a week, Gu Yao finally zeroed in on a fat man. The guy was wearing gold and silver and a loose silk robe. He was dressed like a rich man. He smoked a dry cigarette, walked feebly, and was a little drunk.
This kind of person's reaction is usually relatively slow, and they are most suitable for taking action. Before committing the theft, setting a target is the first priority, so as to minimize the risk of missing something.
Gu Yao passed by him, and then a money bag came into his arms. It was heavy. It seemed that he had gained a lot.
The whole process was perfect without any flaws. The rich man seemed not to realize that the money bag had changed hands and continued to move forward.
Gu Yao happily returned to the original place with the trophies. Although it was only for a while, Han Dan was already waiting in a panic and was relieved to see Gu Yao come back.
Compared with the reward from Ye Lin and Fei Tan's bonus, the theft was more exciting. Gu Yao was in a good mood: "Okay, I asked, there is a good restaurant not far ahead, Dandan,
Let’s go have a nice meal.”
However, when he reached his hand into his arms again, his smile became stiff again - the money bag was gone again!
This is impossible. It was clearly stolen just now, so why can’t it be lost twice in a row? This is really weird!
"Are you looking for this?"
Gu Yao turned his head and saw the rich man standing at the entrance of the alley, throwing the money bag in his hand, his eyes almost narrowed into slits with a smile.
Gu Yao immediately understood that this fat man was not a fool who could be fooled by others. His scalp went numb and he jumped on the horse almost immediately.
The consequences of a thief's mistake would be disastrous. If caught, he would probably be beaten to death.
The horse ran quickly towards the other end of the alley. Fortunately, the street there was not very lively. Gu Yao pulled the reins fiercely and soon left the town, running all the way to a small forest more than ten miles away.
There was no one chasing behind him. Gu Yao had just stopped, but his heart was still pounding.
He has been a thief since he was a child, and this is the first time he has made a mistake.
Are all fat people secretive? The same goes for Han Dahu, and so does the rich man. Gu Yao vowed not to attack a fat man next time.
Seeing Gu Yao running for his life like a lost soul, Han Dan asked in confusion: "Brother Gu Yao, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Of course Gu Yao would not tell Han Dan about the missed money theft: "I heard that the man just now was very vicious, he was a local tyrant, and he often abducted and trafficked children!"
Han Dan believed it and was shocked: "Really? Is there really such a person?"
Gu Yao was about to answer, but he heard someone say: "Haha, boy, not only can you steal money at a young age, you can also lie to others."
Gu Yao looked around in shock and saw the rich man standing more than ten meters in front, holding a cigarette rod and smoking a dry cigarette leisurely.
Gu Yao immediately pulled the reins without thinking, but the seemingly fat rich man was faster, and it was not obvious how fast he walked. He still walked very awkwardly, like a big penguin, but the distance of more than thirty meters seemed to be as if under his feet.
It was shortened, and he was in front of Gu Yao in an instant, with one hand on the horse's head. No matter how hard Gu Yao pulled the reins, the horse just couldn't run.
A strange energy spread from the horse's back to his body, and Gu Yao's nerves were immediately numb, unable to move or even open his mouth to speak.
The rich man spoke slowly: "Hmph, you dare to attack Tai Sui, you damn thief, oh, no, I'm a thief too, doesn't scolding you like this mean you're scolding me too? It should be said that it's you.
Dear thief, oh, this won’t work. It’s obvious that you stole my money, so why do I still praise you? Ah, how should I scold you?”
Listening to the rich man's crazy words, Gu Yao secretly screamed, but he was unable to move.
He let go of his hand from the horse's back, and the strange energy disappeared. Gu Yao felt relaxed all over, and quickly jumped off the horse, crying and begging for mercy: "Uncle, it's all because my sister is too hungry.
Eat something, I will offend you only if I have no choice. You are rich, handsome, graceful, and have unparalleled martial arts skills. Please don't argue with me, a junior, lest you lose your grace."
Gu Yao didn't think about escaping this time, because he already knew that the man in front of him was a master, and he couldn't escape no matter how he tried.
The rich man narrowed his eyes: "Haha, you have such a slippery mouth. No need to flatter or provoke. I won't do that. You should know that no matter what the reason is, once a thief makes a mistake, he must bear the consequences."
Han Dan also felt something was wrong, so he jumped off his horse and shrank to Gu Yao's side like a frightened bird.
Gu Yao took a breath: "In this case, one person is responsible for the work, and it has nothing to do with my sister. Please don't embarrass her."
Han Dan involuntarily grasped Gu Yao's sleeves, fearing that he would lose him like this: "Brother Gu Yao..."
"You do love your sister." The rich man smiled and said, "But I am not as good as you want."
After saying this, he pointed at Han Dan's forehead, and Han Dan immediately collapsed.
"You, you, I will fight with you!" Gu Yao's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he rushed towards the rich man like a mad tiger.
The rich man blew out a puff of smoke, and Gu Yao was as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell, unable to move anymore, but the anger in his eyes almost burned the rich man.
"Don't be impatient!" The rich man said, "Your sister just fainted."
Gu Yao looked down and saw that although Han Dan's eyes were closed, his chest was rising and falling, indicating that he was indeed still alive.
The local rich man knocked and pinched Gu Yao for a while, which made Gu Yao feel hairy in his heart, thinking that this guy might have a perverted hobby.
In the end, the rich man took back his fat hand, which was full of flesh. He seemed quite satisfied. He took a puff of dry tobacco, blew out two smoke rings, and said slowly: "But her life and death will depend on your ability."
.”
After saying that, he shook his hands and got an iron chain from nowhere. There were two shackles connected to both ends of the iron chain. He cuffed the two shackles on the wrists of Gu Yao and Han Dan respectively, and tied them to
On a big tree.
"As a thief, you will be punished in the same way as a thief. This is an alloy chain made of several of the hardest metals. Depending on your ability, it is impossible to break it by force. The only way
The way to escape is to open the shackles and put on the lily lock specially made by me. Use your thief skills, otherwise you will starve to death here with your sister or become a meal in the belly of the beast!"
After the rich man finished speaking, he swayed his fat body and walked away, quickly disappearing from the sight of the two people.
