Chapter 4 unexpected failure

The thief Huo Zhenbo was quite serious in his work.In summer, except for Sunday, he usually gets up at 6 o'clock, and at 7:30 o'clock at the latest, he will leave his nest and go out to make a living. Today, since 8 o'clock in the morning, he has been hiding behind the gorse bushes on the edge of the forest, watching the people passing by on the road with a telescope.But it was already 9:30, and there was no result at all. "The chance is bad," Huo Zhenbo muttered. "If you keep waiting like this for nothing, you'll have to find another job in the future. You won't make a lot of money in the end by being a robber. Besides, it's a pretty nerve-wracking job."

Just as Huo Zhenbo was about to grab a pinch of snuff and stuff it up his nose - when he was doing his job, he should not be able to sniff casually - he suddenly heard the sound of a cart being pushed from the road. "Oh!" Huo Zhenbo thought to himself. "Maybe I'm not wasting my efforts in ambush here to attack people!" Thinking of this, he immediately stopped snuffing, and raised his binoculars to look again.I saw two people pushing a cart, turning around the corner of the forest and coming to the main road.There was a big box on the car, and one could tell at a glance that the box was quite heavy.The two men pushed the car desperately.

One could be sure it was Casper, for it was evident from a distance by the woolen peaked hat. So, who is the other one? If one of the two boys is Casper, the other must be his good friend Zobel.Of course the thief Huo Zhenbo already knew about this kind of thing. "Oh, what I want to know most is what's in the box!" Huo Zhenbo thought to himself. Oh, wait a minute, isn't there something written on the box?What is written in those big red characters...? "Be careful, there is gold inside!" The thief Huo Zhenbo finally saw the scarlet letters.After reading it, I re-read it two or three times carefully so as not to make a mistake.

Now I can be sure, he read it right!He, Huo Zhenbo, waited and waited, until finally he got a big deal, maybe he really had the luck to be a robber.Now it seems that this business has to continue! Huo Zhenbo hastily pulled out the pistol from his belt, adjusted the firing pin, and waited for Kasper and Zobel who came pushing the cart.Seeing that the two men were five or six steps away from him, he stepped on the road with a tiger step. "Raise your hands!" Huo Zhenbo shouted, threatening them, "If you don't raise your hands, I'll shoot you!" Casper and Zobel turned their buttocks and fled when they heard the yell.The robber was not surprised by their escape.

"Hey, two great presidents, get away as fast as you can," the robber yelled at the two fleeing children. "I just want the box not to escape! Hahaha, hahaha..." The thief Huo Zhenbo laughed loudly, stuck a pistol in his waist, and then looked up and down the box. "Well, the box is nailed down, . . . never opened. It's gold! How about opening it? No, it's better not to open it . . . Get out of here now. Casper and Zopé Those two boys must have reported to the police. Hmph, is I afraid of the police? No, absolutely not. However, since this happened, will they ignore it? Even if I am the thug Huo Zhenbo , you can never go wrong if you are careful! Haha..."

Huo Zhenbo swiftly put the suitcase on his shoulder. It was inconvenient to push a cart in the forest, so he kicked the cart over the ditch beside the road. The robber carried the looted box, strode across the bushes panting, and rushed straight to his old den.Along the way, because he was in a hurry to go back, he didn't pay attention to the suitcase on his back. As time passed quietly, the weight gradually decreased. It turned out that Casper did not forget to pull out the match sticks stuffed under the box just before fleeing.White sand continuously leaked from the hole under the box, and after Huo Zhenbo walked by, a thin white line appeared.

Huo Zhenbo returned to the den, unloaded the box on the table, turned around and came out of the house, and fastened the latch on the entrance.Then take the hammer and pliers from the toolbox and pry the looted box.He is a thief who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is really good at doing this kind of work. It didn't take much effort to pry off the lid of the box. He turned around and looked into the box. He couldn't help but froze. How could such a thing happen?There is a lot of sand in the box!It's all the usual white sand! "Ha, damned bastard!" the thief cursed fiercely. "You can coax me into it. Make this big joke with me!"

Huo Zhenbo held the big machete used by thieves in both hands, aimed at the poor potato box and smashed it for a while, until the box was smashed to pieces.Even the solid oak table was chopped to pieces by him.He went to the door for some fresh air. But what happened? On the ground over there, there is a thin and long white line... That white line came from the bushes and went straight to his old den. Huo Zhenbo is not a fool, he will not fail to see. He yelled, the sound was so terrible. "Casper and Zobel, you two boys, you have made your old man miserable. I will definitely fight back against you in the future! What a bad two brats! From now on, I am determined to take revenge! To take revenge !"
