Juan arrived at the place where his group often gathered and waited for the others to arrive.
Not long after, three men dressed in a bizarre and incongruous manner, resembling bandits, walked over.
The two tall, burly men were quite intimidating, while the other was a short guy who wasn't even as tall as Juan.
Juan stepped forward respectfully and said to the short man, "Brother Hong, I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor. Could you do me a help?"
After saying that, he took two taels of silver and gave it to Brother Hong. Brother Hong took the silver and patted Juan on the waist (he wanted to pat his shoulder but couldn't reach it).
"Xiao Anzi, if there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll definitely take care of it for you."
Hong Ge came from Qingyin County, and the two big, clumsy guys behind him are his younger brother.
After engaging in numerous swindling and fraudulent activities in the county town, the brothers could no longer stay there, so they fled to Datang Town with their two younger brothers.
Sometimes, when passersby would come by, he would take his two younger brothers and wield two machetes to scare them away.
They would only let passersby leave after they handed over all the money they had on them.
To save their lives, the pedestrians had no choice but to hand over their money.
The pedestrian survived, but didn't have much money, so no one reported it to the authorities.
Once, Juan ran into them on the road. He not only handed over the money he had on him, but also said that he wanted to be Brother Hong's underling. He would also give them money if he needed their help.
Hong Ge then agreed to let him join, and that's how these shady characters came together.
Brother Hong, I've got my eye on a girl at Xinglong Inn. I tried to go there last night to sleep with her, but her room was a bit eerie, and I failed.
“I think we’ll follow them once they come out. She’s accompanied by a teenage girl, so it’ll be easy to do.”
“When we get the chance, we’ll make our move. If we succeed, I’ll give Hong Ge my money back next time I have it.”
Upon hearing this, Brother Hong realized that this was their old business! This was what they did all along, and with two young girls involved, it was a piece of cake.
"Okay, we'll go to Xinglong Inn and wait there. As soon as they come out, we'll follow them."
Hong Ge called to his two younger brothers to discuss what to do.
Inside the inn, Liu Sisi and Tiantian washed up after waking up and then asked the waiter to prepare breakfast.
The waiter saw that Liu Sisi and Tiantian looked normal and didn't have red eyes, so he hurriedly left the room and wanted to have breakfast there.
I was wondering if Brother An hadn't succeeded yesterday? Or were these two girls just too thick-skinned to care about something like this?
"Waiter, that's all I'll order!"
Liu Sisi's voice pulled Xiao Er back from his rambling thoughts.
"Alright, sir." The waiter walked away somewhat guiltily.
Liu Sisi had already noticed the doubt in his eyes. She thought to herself that this waiter was no good either. He must have helped them with the directions, otherwise he wouldn't be staring at them like that.
"We must teach him a lesson later."
Once the food was served, Liu Sisi and Tiantian started eating.
Midway through, Liu Sisi deliberately dropped her chopsticks on the ground and then released several squirrels from her spatial dimension. She communicated with them using her consciousness and had them quietly sneak onto Xiao Er's body and pluck all the silver from his body onto the ground.
Let him take ill-gotten gains; this time, let him have nothing left.
The little squirrels nodded and quietly followed the waiter along the wall of the inn.
There weren't many customers eating there yet, and no one noticed the few squirrels.
"Sister Tian, you eat first. I forgot something, so I'm going back to my room to check. I'll be right back."
"Okay," Sweetie replied while eating.
Liu Sisi followed the little squirrel's path.
The waiter had just finished arranging a room for the new guest and was about to walk downstairs!
Suddenly, something caught his eye. He tried to reach out and pull it away, but then he felt something burrowing into his sleeves and clothes.
He was momentarily distracted, and after he had plucked all the silver and copper coins off his body and dropped them on the ground, the squirrel inside his clothes came out and then crawled onto his face.
As soon as Xiao Er pulled the squirrel off his face, another one immediately climbed onto it, and its eyes never opened.
Seeing the silver coins fall to the ground, Liu Sisi quickly withdrew her spatial storage, tossed a piece of paper into his sleeve, and headed towards her former room.
Seeing that Liu Sisi had succeeded, the squirrels quickly got off Xiao Er's face and went to Liu Sisi's room.
After Liu Sisi put them back into her spatial storage, she waited for a while before coming out.
The waiter covered his face, his vision blurring, and had no idea what had happened.
Liu Sisi stepped forward and said to him, "Waiter, we want to check out."
"Please wait a moment, sir."
The waiter checked Liu Sisi and Tiantian's room and found nothing wrong. He then had Liu Sisi pay for breakfast, and the two left the inn.
It wasn't until Liu Sisi had walked quite a distance that the waiter finished his work. He searched his pockets for a long time but didn't have a single coin left.
"Oh dear! Where are my silver coins? Where are my copper coins?" After rummaging around for a long time, he finally pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
It reads, "Those who accept ill-gotten gains deserve retribution."
Unfortunately, he couldn't read, so he showed it to the innkeeper and only then did he understand what it meant.
The innkeeper asked him where he came from, and he quickly said that he picked it up from the ground, afraid that the innkeeper would think he was a bad person and send him home.
"Oh no, I'm going to get a real scolding from my mom when I get home."
Xiao Er was filled with regret and suspected that Liu Sisi and her group were responsible, but he had no evidence and could only suffer the consequences.
On the other side, Liu Sisi and Tiantian were trying to hire a horse-drawn carriage, but after searching for a long time in Datang Town, they couldn't find a family with a carriage. So they had to ride their horses and plan to go to the next county town to look for one.
Juan and Hong had already quietly followed them. When they saw that they had horses, Hong kicked Juan in the butt.
"Why didn't you tell us they had horses? How are we supposed to catch up with them on two legs?"
"Oh my, Brother Hong, I didn't know either. I just found out they have horses."
"Luckily you were smart enough to have Brother Da Mao and Brother Er Mao wait for them on the only road they could take to leave town, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to catch up this time."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and catch up, or you'll fall behind even more."
Hong Ge, with his short legs, ran ahead, and Juan followed.
Da Mao and Er Mao were almost asleep when they saw the pretty girl.
Suddenly they heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw a pretty little girl riding a horse with another little girl by her side.
"It must be this one, Er Mao, stop them!" Da Mao shouted.
The two brothers picked up their machetes and tried to stop Liu Sisi's horse.
