Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Then, he continued to track them secretly without stopping. After about five minutes, an unexpected scene happened - the two men actually got on a flatbed cart pulled by a mule on the side of the road.

After the two of them sat firmly, the driver raised the stick and gently tapped the mule's buttocks. The mule immediately started moving and moved forward firmly towards the outside of the city, gradually increasing its speed.

"Oh my god, there's still a mule-pulled cart in the middle of the night! This mule is really working hard!"

While muttering, Xu Damao took out his bicycle, rode it slowly, keeping a certain distance from the mule cart in front, and following it from a distance.

"Brother Niu, think about it! I clearly remember that there was a piece of porcelain hidden in there that was exactly the same color as those broken pieces, and it was intact without any damage! Think about it carefully, those broken pieces of porcelain can be sold for twenty yuan, so the price of this flawless treasure must be sky-high."

At this moment, another man on the cart slowly put his mouth close to Brother Niu's ear and spoke softly in a voice much lower than the hum of a mosquito.

"Let's not be too greedy. As the saying goes, a cautious approach can lead to a long-term plan! Not only did the employer only hire two of us to do this, he even hired a number of other people to handle the same thing."

"I guess these people are most likely to have a myriad of connections with that place. Oh my, I really regret it now. Why did I take on such a difficult job without thinking clearly?"

Brother Niu sighed heavily, then stretched out his hand and pointed towards the southeast, his face full of helplessness and regret.

"What's wrong, Brother Niu? Regardless of whether these people are Jiang Guangtou's spies, are we brothers still afraid of them? At worst, we can just rob them! We can just rob their stuff and slowly sell it in the ghost market. I saw many people setting up stalls and buying things in the ghost market today, but they were all wearing masks!"

Brother Niu's companion was showing an arrogant attitude at the moment, as if he was the most powerful person in the world except for God and the earth. Brother Niu looked at his brother's arrogant and unruly appearance, and he couldn't help feeling helpless and sighed deeply.

"Brother, we are the ones who are responsible for a murder! We hid ourselves very well, but we didn't expect that man to come to our door and force us to do something for him. If we don't agree, he will report us to the police and have us arrested! I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to do the job for him."

Then, Brother Niu added: "And that person also promised that if the job is done, he would give us a large sum of money as a reward. This is really giving us a blow first and then a sweet date!"

"Alas - do we two brothers really have the guts to rob them? Even if we succeed, we should be thankful that we are not silenced!"

Brother Niu sighed again, his face full of worry and uneasiness.

"Then what should we do?" After this question was asked, the scene fell into silence, as if the air had frozen.

"What should we do? We should take it one step at a time. Fortunately, these people are not in the limelight. If we really have a conflict with that person, our brothers will certainly have a hard time surviving, but they also have to be careful of the police and even the army's encirclement and suppression!"

Brother Niu said this fiercely, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Xu Damao listened to Brother Niu's words, and a sense of heroism surged in his heart: "Right! At worst, we will die together. The main force has fled to Taiwan Island, and the small fry under his command still want to suppress us brothers. Humph!"

However, due to the distance between the mule cart and them, Xu Damao did not hear the conversation between the two. He just rode his bike silently, trying not to make any loud noise, and followed the mule cart about a hundred meters behind.

After walking for more than an hour, they were already far away from Beijing. Ten minutes later, the mule cart turned a corner and entered an extremely narrow path. According to Xu Damao's observation, it could only accommodate one mule cart.

After walking on the path for another ten minutes, the mule cart finally stopped next to a courtyard wall.

Xu Damao looked from afar and was surprised to find that this was actually a small village. The village looked very small, with only about a dozen households. The whole village seemed quiet and peaceful, as if it was isolated from the world.

The two people on the cart and the driver got off carefully, afraid of making any sound. They gently opened the gate and drove the mule cart into the yard.

One of them yawned continuously and said, "I've been busy all night and I'm so sleepy! I won't have breakfast tomorrow morning, so please don't wake me up! I want to sleep a little longer."

The other person nodded and said, "Okay, didn't that person say that he would send a few people and two donkey carts to load the truck this afternoon? After loading the truck, we will hurry to Tianjin Port before dark."

"We'll talk about this afternoon. Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't delay my sleep now!"

Brother Niu stretched and yawned, as if to spit out all the fatigue of the night, then turned and walked into the room.

Yawning is indeed contagious. Seeing Brother Niu go to sleep, this man also felt a strong drowsiness in his brain, which made him yawn involuntarily. He locked the door and staggered into the house, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soon.

Xu Damao stood outside the gate, waiting silently. Time passed by minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, he took a deep breath, exerted force with his legs, and jumped up.

He grasped the top of the wall with both hands, then exerted force with his arms again, and his body flipped over the high wall like a nimble kite, landing lightly on the ground. The whole movement was as smooth as flowing water, without making any sound.

After landing, Xu Damao did not relax at all. He walked quietly to the window of the room in the yard, pricked up his ears, and listened attentively to the movements in the room.

He found that only one of the two side rooms was occupied, and in the main room facing north and south, two people's breathing could be heard. Xu Damao thought that this must be where Brother Niu and his companions were.
