One day, Casper's grandmother was sitting on a bench in the sun in front of her house, grinding coffee. This coffee grinder was given to her grandma as a congratulatory gift on her birthday by Kasper and his friend Zobel. This is a new type of coffee grinder with a handle that the two children invented on their own.As soon as you shake the handle, a song called "Beautiful Scenery Comes in May" will be played.Grandma likes to listen to this song very much. After Grandma received this novel coffee grinder, she felt very happy, so she drank coffee twice as much as before. Today, she is grinding coffee beans for the second time.But when she was about to grind the coffee, she suddenly heard a creaking and clicking sound from the bushes in the yard, and then came a rough human voice:

"Give me what's in your hand!" Grandma didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly raised her head and put on her pince-nez.I saw a man I didn't know standing in front of me. It was a man with a black beard and a terrifying hooked nose.He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a red pheasant feather on his head, and holds a pistol in his right hand. The man pointed to grandma's coffee grinder with his left hand and said: "I said, give this thing to me!" Grandma was confused by him and didn't understand what he meant at all. "Excuse me, how can you say such things?" cried Grandma angrily. "How did you come here? Please don't shout so loudly! Who are you?"

The strange man laughed out loud when he heard this, and the pheasant feather on his hat shook violently. "Old woman, don't you read the newspaper! Hmph, think about it!" Only then did grandma see clearly that the man had a big saber stuck in his belt, and there were seven short knives stuck in it. Grandma suddenly turned pale with fright, and asked in a trembling voice: "Could you be that thief Huo Zhenbo?" "That's right, I'm going!" said the man with seven short knives stuck in his waist. "Don't make a fuss. If you shout again, don't blame me for being rude to you. Give me the coffee grinder!"

"No, it's not yours!" "Don't be so wordy!" The thief Huo Zhenbo exclaimed. "How dare you disobey me and hand over the mold to me? When I count to three now, if you still don't hand in, then don't blame me and just..." Before he finished speaking, the robber raised his pistol and pointed it at grandma. "Please don't do this, please? I can't give you this coffee grinder. It was a gift from someone on my birthday. This grinder, when you shake the handle, it will sing my favorite song. " "That's why I want this grinder!" muttered the thief. "I also like a coffee grinder that sings when you shake the handle. Now, be sensible, and give it to me quickly. "

Grandma sighed and had no choice but to hand over the coffee grinder to him. There is really no other way but to give it to him.This Huo Zhenbo is a vicious gangster, and there is not a day when news about him is not published in the newspapers.Everyone is afraid of this man, even the police officer Ding Beimo said so. "The old lady is really ignorant, just hand it over as soon as possible." After Huo Zhenbo finished speaking, he triumphantly took the coffee grinder and put it in his pocket, then squinted his left eye and pointed his right eye at grandma sharply. "Hey, listen carefully. From now on, sit on the bench like this, and don't move around. Say the numbers in a low voice like this, and count to nine hundred and ninety-nine."

"Why?" Grandma asked. "I said, you can only call for help when you count to nine hundred and ninety-nine. If you don't count to this number, you must not move. Do you hear me? If you don't do as I say! Don't blame me for being ruthless to you! Understand? ?” "Got it!" Grandma muttered. "Don't lie to me! Don't use your brain!" After Huo Zhenbo finished speaking, before leaving, he tapped his grandma's nose with a pistol, and then crossed the fence of the yard, and his figure disappeared after a while. Casper's grandma, pale with fright, just sat on the bench in front of the door, shivering.

The robber escaped.He also took the coffee grinder. It took a long time for grandma to count.Grandma did what the thief said, just read the numbers and counted to nine hundred and ninety-nine.One, two, three... counting neither fast nor slow. But because grandma was too nervous, she kept reading wrongly for several days.She read it wrong at least twelve times, so she had to correct it and count again. Finally, I tried my best and counted to nine hundred and ninety-nine.Grandma then shouted for help. After calling for help, grandma thumped and passed out on the ground.
