Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

The streets in the early morning were quiet and deserted. Xu Damao was riding a bicycle and Lou Xiaoe was sitting on the back seat. The two of them moved forward silently.

Suddenly, two masked figures emerged from the darkness and blocked their way. The robbers held guns and signaled Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe to stop.

Xu Damao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He had never encountered such a situation in his previous life. He felt the threat of the gun. Even though he had been a human for two lifetimes, Xu Damao was still very nervous. After all, all this was so real.

Lou Xiao'e tightly grasped the corner of Xu Damao's clothes, her body trembling slightly. The robber stared at them fiercely, and his vicious eyes made people shudder.

During this tense moment, Xu Damao tried to negotiate with the robbers, his voice trembling.

"Brother... don't, don't shoot. I can give you money as long as you let us go. You both have your faces covered, and it's pitch black now. I can't see a thing..."

However, the robber ignored them and just waved at the two men, asking them to push their bicycles and follow him to a corner of the pond.

This place is very remote. Due to the terrain, even in broad daylight, if someone passes by on the road, they will not be able to see this place at all, let alone now when it is dark.

It's a good place to destroy corpses...

Cold sweat slid down Xu Damao's forehead, and he prayed secretly that he could survive this disaster safely.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. She could only lean on Xu Damao tightly, holding the hem of Xu Damao's clothes tightly with both hands.

"Boy! Take out all the money you have! Hehe, if you take even one cent less, I'll throw you into this pit and feed you to the fish!"

The robbers' threats filled the whole scene with a tense atmosphere. Time seemed to have stood still, and the fate of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e hung in the balance.

They didn't know what would happen next. The silence of the street was shrouded in fear, with only the breathing of the robbers and the cold light of the gun flashing in the darkness.

"Brother, I don't have much money on me, I'll give it all to you right now!"

Xu Damao said this and quickly took out the money.

"Who are you trying to fool? You don't have much money on you, but you made a lot of money in the ghost market. How come you ate all that money in such a short time?"

The voice of another robber was heard, confirming Xu Damao's guess. It turned out that he was buying and selling things in the ghost market, and some people were jealous of him, so they targeted him and wanted to make a deal with him without any cost!

"Brothers, I will give you all the money I have, as well as this bicycle and the things in the bicycle, but I don't believe that you will let us go after I give you the things."

Xu Damao's voice was shaking and he looked frightened as he spoke to the robber in a trembling voice.

"Hey, this is not up to you. Take out the money, or both of you will die!"

The leading robber was holding a pistol and his tone was full of murderous intent, but Xu Damao could still hear a hint of worry in his voice.

"Don't worry, kid. We only want money, not life. Just give me the money and I'll let you two go!"

A robber at the back said in a gentle tone that the main strategy was for one to play the good cop and the other to play the bad cop, using both hardness and softness, and they were determined to take down the lamb to be slaughtered.

"The money is all here with me, please let my wife go first, otherwise I will worry about you!"

Xu Damao held Lou Xiao'e's small hand tightly, and with his other hand he took out a handful of big unity coins from his pocket. With the other hand he let go of Lou Xiao'e's trembling hand and began to rummage through Lou Xiao'e's pockets, but only found a few dollars in change.

"Hey! You're not a big deal, but you're still a big troublemaker. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll shoot you to death!"

The robber in front said viciously and raised his hand. The mirror box shone with an extremely cold light in the moonlight, which made Xu Damao's pupils shrink. He took a step back and was only one meter away from the edge of the pond.

"Humph! If you don't let my wife go, I will jump from here and you won't get a penny!

Xu Damao took out a handful of big unity from his pocket with his other hand, and stood by the pond and said viciously.

"Two big brothers, it's almost dawn. Please let my wife go and I will give her the money. It's the best of both worlds. Please, please."

It was cold and quiet by the pond in the early morning. Xu Damao bet that the two robbers would not dare to shoot. After all, at this time, if a gunshot was heard, no one knew how far the sound would spread. If they were really after money, they would definitely be cautious.

"Alas, in this age of rampant guns..."

"You kid is courting death!"

A robber in front of him walked up and slapped Xu Damao in the face.

Xu Damao staggered and almost fell into the pond.

"Wait!"

"I didn't expect this brother to be such a kind-hearted man. Well, we'll let your wife go, but we only have one minute. One minute after your wife leaves, you bring the money back."

The robber behind came forward, grabbed the robber in front and signaled Lou Xiaoe to leave.

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips tightly, looked up at Xu Damao, her face already full of tears.

"Xiao E, run quickly, I'm fine, these two big brothers are just looking for money, they won't do anything to me, at most they'll kick me a few times and beat me up... Run quickly, be obedient!"

At the end of his speech, Xu Damao nodded and bowed to the two robbers, speaking in a flattering manner.

"Ok!"

Lou Xiao'e grabbed Xu Damao with all her strength and ran in one direction at a very fast speed. Xu Damao stared at the two robbers intently, fearing that one of them would be too insensitive and shoot Lou Xiao'e...

After all, many movies I saw in my previous life were played like this...

"Two big brothers are smoking!"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e running away, Xu Damao quickly took out two Zhonghua cigarettes and handed them to her.

"Boy, don't think about stalling for time and then letting your wife run away. Don't worry, we only want money and don't kill people. Take out the money."

The robber slapped away Xu Damao's hand that was holding the cigarette, and the Zhonghua cigarette fell to the ground.

The two pockets were bulging, as if they were stuffed with two chubby little pigs. Xu Damao turned them over, and a pile of big unity bills "jumped" out impatiently.

In order to reassure the robber, Xu Damao carefully raised his hands, as if he was holding some rare treasure, and tremblingly handed two stacks of money to the robber.

Just as the robber was overjoyedly reaching out to take the money, he heard a muffled "bang!" behind him and felt the ground tremble slightly a few times, as if there was an earthquake.

The robber glanced back in fear and was immediately stunned.

I saw that the accomplice who had been following me like a shadow was now being pinned down by a huge rock weighing several hundred kilograms. He was lifeless and I'm afraid he had already died.
