Chapter 39 Big Gold Bar
By the time they arrived at the auditorium, quite a few people were already there.
The show in the compound was scheduled for the evening, and the group planned to sit in the audience and watch the show first.
"I was smart enough to let Ernengzi and your Zhiwen, two older guys, come and take seats first. Otherwise, by the time we got here, all the good seats would have been gone."
Jin Qiaofeng took the lead and squeezed to the front row, pointing at Ernengzi and Zhou Zhiwen who were responsible for reserving seats and said with a smile.
"Qiaofeng, what you did today was not bad!"
He opened his mouth wide and gave Jin Qiaofeng a thumbs up.
"That's it."
"Hurry up, everyone, sit down. This show is great."
A group of people sat in a row and watched the show.
…
Every household near the Tianshuijing compound locked their doors to watch the show, and the alley was quiet.
At this time, the excited voices of several people were heard from the alley.
"Boss, everyone's gone, shall we take action?"
"Wait a little longer. Call me when it gets dark. I'll take a nap first."
A light snoring sound began to sound.
"Boss, wake up quickly, it's getting dark."
"Stop shaking, stop shaking, I'm awake, second brother, get up and work."
"Okay."
"Third brother, you know what, there's not much wind here, it's perfect for sleeping."
"Stop being so joking, Lao Er, get to work."
The three of them stealthily moved the manhole cover on the toilet road, took three steps back, and spoke while covering their noses.
"Boss, can we let the second one go down this time?"
The third brother said in a muffled voice with a gloomy face that he really didn't want to go down.
The last time he went home, he couldn't even keep the clothes he was wearing. He was beaten by his parents in the middle of the night because he was smelly.
"Third brother, you're more familiar with the environment down there. When you come up, the second brother and I will take you to buy some new clothes right away."
"Brother, go buy it now. I'll go down now."
"Okay, okay, I'll go. Boss, I'm leaving now."
The second brother walked away with his hands in his pockets, leaving only the eldest and the third brother next to the manhole cover.
"Brother, I'm going downstairs."
The third brother grunted and pulled the rope as he slid down to the sewer.
"Old Three, when you get the things, call me to pull you up."
"Brother, give me the flashlight. It's too dark down there."
"Oh my god, why is it so dirty down there? Ugh."
"Third brother, hurry up, don't wait until the last person returns home, it will be troublesome."
The eldest brother pinched his nose and said this, then jumped over and squatted beside him.
"Ugh, big brother, stop trying to get me to talk."
The third brother let go of the rope, stood in the garbage pile in the sewer, bent down and untied the rope that tied the bag last time.
"Oh my god, this rope is so tight and twisted, it's so hard to untie."
The third brother took great pains to untie the thing.
"It's so heavy, hehehe, I'm going to be rich now."
"What the hell? Why isn't the flashlight working?"
The light below the wellhead flickered.
"Brother, brother, pull me up quickly."
There was an urging sound coming from the bottom of the sewer, which was particularly obvious in the quiet environment at night.
"Come on, come on, don't be so loud."
"There's no one here at the moment anyway."
The third brother was pulled up, and the two of them worked together to cover the sewer first, otherwise they would have been killed by the stench.
"Brother, how do we divide these things?"
The third brother didn't care whether it smelled or not, and tore open the bag wrapping it.
"We'll talk about it when the second brother comes back, but let's take a look first."
No one expected that the bag contained gold bars. The third brother counted and found that there were twelve of them, each as wide as two fingers.
"Brother, there are so many gold bars. The brothers are going to make a fortune this time."
"I was smart. I only took the gold bars. The other jade and other things looked worthless."
"Brother, I feel something is wrong when I weigh this."
The third brother was too rough when he tore open the outer bag, so the outside of the gold bar was stained with sewage, so he resisted the urge to take a bite.
"Why not? Isn't this a gold bar? Look at the color, golden and radiant, so pleasing to the eye!"
The eldest brother rolled his eyes at the third brother and thought to himself, "The third brother is just simple-minded and can only do rough work. Let him do the brain work."
"That's right, there's no way this gold is fake."
"Why hasn't the second brother come back yet? Did he drop some clothes in the toilet?"
"Second brother is always slow in doing things."
The third brother took advantage of the fact that no one was around to flatter the eldest brother.
"Third brother, put the things away. When the second brother comes, we will go back and divide them."
"OK."
The third brother took one last reluctant look at the precious gold bars and wrapped them up in the bag again.
Two people squatted beside the manhole cover and waited.
At this moment, no one noticed that there was a shadow walking towards them from behind.
…
A few minutes ago.
No one expected that Fu Zhenggang, the former son-in-law of the Zhao family, also sneaked into the compound.
He didn't dare go to the main gate for fear of being seen, so he had to hide at the entrance of the alley.
"That bitch Zhao Yunyun actually dared to get married behind my back."
"Humph! I'd like to see what that man looks like."
Fu Zhenggang found out clearly that Zhao Yunyun took that man to the auditorium to watch the show today. He guessed that Zhao Yunyun must have come back to her parents' home today.
He didn't want to go to the auditorium anyway, as that would be too embarrassing, so he chose to wait in the compound.
While watching over, Fu Zhenggang fell asleep and heard someone chattering in a daze.
Fu Zhenggang opened his green eyes and looked around. It was pitch black around him and he didn't see anyone.
After waiting for a long time, he still felt something was wrong. The voice was sometimes high and sometimes low, and it sounded like a man's voice.
He straightened up, walked lightly, held his breath, and followed the sound towards the end of the alley. He remembered there was a toilet there.
Fu Zhenggang gradually approached the two of them, getting closer and closer.
The eldest and the third brother didn't notice anything at all. Maybe everything went too smoothly today, and the joy of getting the gold bars diluted their vigilance.
Fu Zhenggang walked three steps behind the two men, stopped, and stared at the third brother's back.
"Brother, why do I feel a chill on my back?"
"Is the wind blowing? Why do I hear footsteps? Could it be that the second brother is back?"
When the boss turned around, he happened to meet Fu Zhenggang's green eyes. His heart stopped and he was scared to death in an instant.
“Ah—a ghost—”
The two sides finally met, but neither of them even paid attention to what the other looked like. They just shouted at the top of their lungs.
But the amazing thing is that the three of them ran to the toilet at the same time.
When the third brother ran away, he did not forget to take the package containing gold bars with him.
The three of them ran into the bathroom one after another, staring at each other in the cramped space filled with a strange smell.
No one spoke for a while, and only the other could hear each other's heavy breathing, until -
"Xiu Lan, our performance tonight was really great. I saw everyone in the audience clapping their hands vigorously."
"I was watching the aunties perform on the stage from below. When the lights came on, their performance was so outstanding!"
At this time, Ernengzi's nonchalant voice reached the ears of the three people.
The sound of a wide-mouthed man getting closer, accompanied by the sound of a door opening.
"Oh no! The people in the compound are back!"
