Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality-Chapter 186 - 168: I Want to Take You to Seek Immortals
「That night.」
Xiao Mo stealthily arrived at the gate of a private villa in the northern part of Luofeng City. He and the several others with him all had their faces covered with cloth.
The villa was in a rather remote location, with few residents nearby.
"Fourth, Fifth, you two be the lookouts. If you see anything, meow like a cat. Second and Third, you’re coming inside with me."
The boss, Zheng Shanhan, assigned the tasks.
Xiao Mo, along with the timid Fourth Brother, was usually assigned lookout duty.
This was mainly because Xiao Mo was young, and Fourth Brother Qian Zhenhao was too cowardly, so they could only handle jobs that didn’t require strength or risk.
"Right, Boss," the group nodded, replying in low voices.
"Move out!"
Zheng Shanhan waved his hand.
Xiao Mo and Fourth Brother took up positions on opposite ends of the street where the small courtyard was located.
The other three skillfully threw a grappling hook onto the courtyard wall, then clambered up with the agility of monkeys.
Once inside the courtyard, Second Brother Lou Tai quickly found the spot where Landlord Fang had hidden his gold.
The three were ecstatic and immediately started digging with their shovels.
But not long after Zheng Shanhan and his men entered the courtyard...
Xiao Mo saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching from a distance.
Xiao Mo didn’t know if it was Landlord Fang, but just in case, he hurried to the courtyard wall and started meowing.
"Meow, meow~~" The sound of a cat drifted through the night.
The three men in the courtyard jumped in fright, but they didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they kept digging.
As he dug, Zheng Shanhan complained, ’This damn landlord, why’d he bury it so deep?!’
"Meow~ meow~~"
Seeing that they hadn’t come out yet, Xiao Mo grew more anxious and meowed a few more times.
But as the carriage drew closer, Xiao Mo had no choice but to hide behind a tree.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of the courtyard.
The driver and the butler, seated outside the main carriage, got down and set up a stool.
"Sir, we’ve arrived."
As the butler’s voice faded, a greasy, pot-bellied, middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.
A moment later, a scantily clad and beautiful courtesan lifted the curtain and stepped down.
As she got down, however, the woman "lost her footing" and stumbled forward, falling onto Landlord Fang’s large belly.
"Oh my, little lady, you must be more careful," Landlord Fang said, taking the opportunity to grope her perky bottom.
"Oh, Sir, you’re awful~" the woman cooed, lightly tapping his chest with her handkerchief.
Landlord Fang was instantly aroused. He wrapped his arm around the woman’s slender waist and walked into the courtyard.
The driver and the butler stood guard at the entrance.
Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Mo’s forehead. He could only hope his brothers were well hidden and wouldn’t be discovered by Landlord Fang.
But a moment later, Landlord Fang’s shouts echoed from the courtyard. "What are you brats doing? Put down my gold! Put it down, I said!"
Hearing the commotion, the driver and butler rushed into the courtyard.
"You little bastards! Don’t run!"
"Put down my gold!"
"See if I don’t break your damn legs!"
Soon, the courtyard descended into chaos.
Fourth Brother trembled when he heard the noise. He was worried about the boss and the others, but he didn’t dare rush in to help.
In contrast, Xiao Mo grabbed a stick and charged right in.
"Second, hit them with the shovel!"
"Throw rocks."
"Charge for the courtyard exit!"
"Run! Run for it!"
After a chaotic brawl, the boss, Zheng Shanhan, and the others managed to break out of the courtyard.
"Fourth! Get rid of the carriage!"
Zheng Shanhan shouted upon seeing Fourth Brother.
Hearing his boss’s voice, Qian Zhenhao quickly ran forward with his stick and whacked the horse’s rear.
The startled horse neighed and bolted, pulling the carriage with it.
The group fled down another path, running without stopping.
But as they ran, they realized something.
"Where’s Fifth?" Zheng Shanhan froze for a second.
"Didn’t Fifth make it out?" Third Brother finally realized.
"Don’t tell me Fifth got caught," Fourth Brother said, terrified.
"Son of a bitch! I’m going back for Fifth!"
"Me too!"
"Fourth, you stay here. Guard this box—it’s full of gold. We’re going to save Fifth. If we don’t make it back, you run!"
Zheng Shanhan and the others grabbed their hoes and shovels and charged back, full of fury.
Meanwhile, back in the courtyard, Xiao Mo had been tied up by Landlord Fang.
"Run now, you little bastard! Go on, run! Your mother!"
Landlord Fang kicked Xiao Mo in the stomach, causing him to spit up a mouthful of bitter bile.
"Quick, tell me where you little bastards live! If you don’t talk, I’ll..."
"You fat pig! Let my Fifth Brother go!"
"Die, you fat pig!"
Before Landlord Fang could finish his sentence, Zheng Shanhan and the others charged back in.
The naturally strong Tang Kuang, wielding a shovel, broke the driver’s leg with one swing, then sent Landlord Fang sprawling with a kick.
After another chaotic scuffle, Zheng Shanhan cut the ropes and quickly escaped with his Fifth Brother!
"After them! Get after them! Owww! My money!"
Landlord Fang and his old butler chased them out of the courtyard, but how could they possibly outrun these youngsters?
Before long, Xiao Mo and the others vanished without a trace.
「At dawn.」
The group finally made it back to their village.
The five of them sat on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling like they’d lost half their lives.
"Fourth, hurry and open the box. You and Fifth haven’t seen what’s inside yet," Zheng Shanhan said impatiently after a short rest.
Filled with anticipation, Qian Zhenhao opened the box he was clutching.
Inside was nothing but gleaming gold ingots! In total, they weighed a full four jin!
"Boss! We’re rich!"
Qian Zhenhao swallowed hard, feeling like he was in a dream.
Four jin!
That was four jin of gold!
’Think of all the rice, chicken, duck, and fish we can buy with this!’
But his excitement soon turned to worry. "Boss, do you think that Landlord Fang will find us?"
"Don’t worry, Fourth. He won’t."
Second Brother Lou Tai said with a smile.
"First of all, Luofeng City is huge, and there are so many beggars."
"Second, our village is in the middle of nowhere. How could they possibly find their way here?"
"Besides, a few jin of gold is nothing to a family like Landlord Fang’s. He won’t dare to make a big fuss looking for us. If his tigress of a wife finds out, heh heh heh..."
Hearing Second Brother’s analysis, Qian Zhenhao was finally able to relax.
"Alright, we made a huge score today! But we can’t spend this gold in Luofeng City just yet, or we’ll arouse suspicion."
"And I have an idea I want to run by you brothers!"
"Just say it, Boss," Tang Kuang said with a grin. Though his face was bruised and swollen, the sight of the gold made him forget the pain.
Zheng Shanhan scanned his brothers’ faces and said gravely:
"I want to take you all to seek the path of immortals!"
