Chapter 8 empty bottle communication

The next morning, Huo Zhenbo set off to catch Kasper and Zobel. Today, too, he wore the uniform of a police officer—only this time with a pepper pistol and seven short knives in his belt, and a spare binoculars and two or three pieces of strong rope. Huo Zhenbo looked around behind the gorse bushes. "Lie here and wait for the fellows," he cried in his mind, "you'll pass here one day, fellows. Beast, there's such a smell.—Until now, those who don't trust me Nothing about the nose!" He peered at the road with binoculars, but there was no one there. The sun was shining uncontrollably, and a fly was buzzing around the helmet.He felt that he should not doze off, so he sniffed snuff from time to time.

"Life in the detention center for two weeks can change people's habits. It's unimaginable!" Huo Zhenbo muttered, "I used to lie in ambush for hours, and I never wanted to doze off..." Suddenly, Huo Zhenbo was taken aback.Through the binoculars, he clearly saw two familiar figures approaching along the road, one wearing a red Casper hat and the other wearing a green Zobel hat. The big thief Huo Zhenbo's drowsiness disappeared in an instant. "As I expected, the guys are going to pass here!" he muttered. "It seems that the two of them went fishing, Zobel with the rod on his shoulder, Casper with the net..."

"Look carefully, what's in the net? It looks like something heavy... Maybe it's a bottle? Yes, a beast, it's a bottle!—I can see it clearly now. It's got rum in it? Maybe it's perry wine. Wine made from pears." Huo Zhenbo felt saliva welling up in his mouth.Even so, he still didn't lose his composure and was ready to pounce.Kaspar and Zobel were only a few steps away from him.So, flashing his pepper pistol, he jumped out of the grass: "Hands up—or shoot!" Kaspar and Zobel, throwing down their fishing tackle, raised their hands. Suddenly, Kaspar smiled: "You are a policeman, so why are you scaring us like this? What's wrong with you?"

Huo Zhenbo put the pepper pistol to the tip of Casper's nose: "Look at my face! Get rid of this helmet and red collar, think about it! In this way, you can't just smile nonchalantly! How about it?" Kasper rolled his eyes, and Zobel's teeth chattered.This is what the two have practiced beforehand. "You, you are, that, that..." Caspar stammered. "Yes, it's me, hee, hee, hee, hee hee! How about it? I'm a little surprised." Huo Zhenbo pointed his pistol at the bottle in the net held by Casper: "Where did you get this thing?": "I caught, caught, fished in the small river of the market town. This is, bottle, bottle..."

"Why don't you go on and take it out! What's in it, let me have a look!" Huo Zhenbo took the bottle, checked it thoroughly, shook his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a letter here. Also, there is a note pasted here..." On the note, it reads: empty bottle communication Big report to the police! Those who have nothing to do with the police are strictly prohibited from opening! Huo Zhenbo smiled mischievously, rubbing his chin: "Forbidden things are twice as attractive to me. Of course, I want to open this bottle and have a look." "Can't open it!" cried Kaspar, "because you're not a policeman, are you?"

Huo Zhenbo laughed loudly: "Do you want to command me? Well, look, this kind of thing is too easy!" He pulled out his saber, aimed at the middle of the bottle, and knocked it hard. A ball of paper rolled out of it and fell to the ground. Huo Zhenbo bent down to pick it up, and glanced at it quickly. ——I knew at a glance that there was a need for vigilance. "Both of you face that way!" Huo Zhenbo yelled at Kaspar, "Understood, close your eyes and plug your ears!" Huo Zhenbo began to read the letter that came out of the bottle.It was proposed by Caspar and written by grandma, of course, Huo Zhenbo would not be aware of this.

Huo Zhenbo wiped his eyes and rubbed his nose.This is real, not a dream! Master Ding Beimo: On my deathbed, I used this empty bottle to communicate and reveal a secret. I buried all the money and gold and other possessions accumulated through a long life of hard work in the soil where the fire pump in my town was placed. Please use the power of the police to keep it safe and distribute it to the poor.Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep peacefully in the tomb. a repentant sinner who wishes to remain unnoticed (Note: Magic is cast on the treasure, and it is necessary to get it when the moon is full. Otherwise, it will not work well.)

Huo Zhenbo was fascinated by the news that there were treasures such as money and gold in the place where the fire pump was placed. For a while, he completely forgot about the things around him.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kaspar and Zobel fled quickly. By the time Huo Zhenbo noticed it, it was already too late. "Stop!" he cried. "Hey, stop! Stop!" To put the pepper pistols, the two have gone too far.He didn't catch up anymore, because there are more important things than this now. "Is it true what is written on this paper?" he thought. How could it not be true?There is obviously a seal on the bottle.

Huo Zhenbo rolled up the letter and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. "The issue of hidden treasures needs to be thoroughly clarified. He made up his mind, "I have the key to the place where the fire pump is placed, and there is no difficulty in getting in."And, today happens to be a full moon.It was so fitting. " At such times, it is natural to work carefully and attentively.He planned to spend some time scouting the surroundings carefully before entering the place where the fire pump was placed. "Better to do it," he thought. "Well done. Tomorrow, I may be a millionaire, and quit thieves. I hope there will be no disturbance!"
