Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 460 Underworld Special Bus
The matter of relocating residents gave the leaders of the Sanshan garrison different ideas.

When Bai Yongnian picked up his wine glass again, Kong Yi did not refuse this time.

Although the stationmaster's situation was upsetting for him, the follow-up information brought by Bai Yongnian was quite sincere.

Otherwise, if Bai Yongnian had kept this information to himself, they wouldn't have known how to leave the Sanshan base even if they wanted to.

Just as everyone was gathered together chatting, the cloth dogs hanging on their bodies all made a sound at the same time.

"The tasks at each post station have been completed, and the issues related to the attack on the underworld officials have been resolved. All underworld officials are hereby instructed to send their relatives back to the mortal world within three days."

"If, three days later, there are still people in the area who have not been sent away and have not moved into the houses rented by the underworld officials, they will be charged the corresponding amount of merit according to the circumstances of the outsiders."

Upon hearing this suggestion, the leaders hurriedly finished their drinks and left the courtyard.

Even Yunlongtian had things to do at this moment.

After all, during this attack, Yunlong Tian not only brought his parents and sister to the underworld, but also some other relatives.

Although he receives thousands of merits every month as a chosen one, it's not enough for his relatives to spend!

After seeing his family off, Yunlongtian still needed to figure out how to compile more items that might be considered talismans, hoping to increase his monthly salary.

In this way, he can bring all the people he wants to bring to the underworld's residence.

If he really couldn't come up with a plan, then when he was able to guide the underworld officials, he would have to consider whether to let some members of his family try it.

Yun Longtian is not alone in sharing this sentiment.

If they were worried that there were few people in the underworld, they might feel lonely and stifled after bringing their families there for a long time.

After the Sanshan garrison was packed this time, they all understood.

Loneliness and frustration only happen when there are too few people around. Once there are more people, none of these problems exist.

They've only been here a few days, and already elderly people are leading groups to dance in the square by the river outside the Sanshan garrison!
There was even a battery-powered subwoofer playing music!
Can you imagine a group of middle-aged and elderly people dancing their youthful energy in a gloomy and eerie environment?
The people dancing in the square are elderly, while the middle-aged men are sitting in the river fishing with fishing rods!

Is that a river where you can catch fish?
Originally, most of these fishermen left after a day of fishing without catching any fish, leaving only a few guys who were probably no fish in the real world still persisting.

But who knew, some idle underworld messenger brought a batch of fish from the mortal world and threw them into the river!

Under normal circumstances, if a river in the underworld is haunted, the fish will naturally not survive, not to mention that the underworld is filled with yin energy and the living conditions are harsh.

The problem is that the area protected by the Three Mountains includes a part of the river, and there are no ghosts or evil spirits in this part of the river. In fact, the yin energy in the river water has been cleansed by the power of the protection.

This resulted in those fish actually surviving in the river in front of the Sanshan garrison!
As a result, dozens of anglers can be seen sitting by the river fishing every day.

After catching the fish, they neither ate it nor took it with them. They would show it off and, after receiving everyone's amazement, throw the fish back into the water for recycling.

Some busybodies even put up a sign by the river listing the anglers' catches.

The first person has already caught thirty fish!

These are middle-aged people, and also teenagers.

Without electronic devices, they've taken their gaming to a whole new level!
Because there were only thirty-six Raven Feather Raincoats available, these guys couldn't borrow too many, since wearing a Raven Feather Raincoat while hunting ghosts could be a lifesaver.

Therefore, there were only a few pieces of crow feathers available for borrowing.

So these guys changed the game. It was still hide-and-seek, but instead of hiding while wearing raincoats, everyone else was hiding and the people in the raincoats were looking for them!
Fortunately, they knew what was important and stayed within the protected area, playing around the three mountains surrounding the Sanshan camp.

In this way, all three generations—young, middle-aged, and old—have their own things to do, so there's no question of feeling lonely or stifled.

Therefore, those underworld officials stationed at the Three Mountains who want to stay are trying every means to accumulate more merit.

Especially after learning from Kong Yi and others that they could transfer their household registration, they worked even harder.

Whether they went to other camps or the empty houses left behind by the underworld officials at the Three Mountains camp, they were all targets.

And so, all the underworld messengers stationed at the Three Mountains began to hurry about their business.

However, before that, some of the relatives still need to be sent away.

Considering that returning to the mortal world during the day would be too conspicuous, and not wanting the family members of the underworld officials to become targets for those with ulterior motives again, the team leaders discussed it and decided to return to the mortal world at night.

Although there are only ten Yin-Yang palanquins, they are fast and three nights are enough.

So on the first night, the inn became a bit crowded.

However, when the Bai family's station manager took out the ten spare Yin-Yang sedan chairs for rent, and as the waiters became more and more familiar with the business, the speed increased significantly.

Perhaps on the second night, everyone can be sent away.

……

Mubei City, 1:30 a.m.

Three furtive figures were crouching outside the wall of a large courtyard.

"Hurry up! Stop dawdling, do you even want to make money?!"

Xi Jie looked at the two people reaching out and said angrily.

"Brother Jie, we won't get arrested, will we? This courtyard is so grand, there must be security cameras."

After Li Zhuang followed, he asked.

"Yeah, Brother Jie, how about we move to a smaller family home?"

Li Qiang was also somewhat timid.

"Tch! You two think you can make big money? What happened to our promise to grow bigger and stronger and create new glories?"

"So you only dare to steal a few hundred dollars? What kind of big shot are you!"

Xi Jie was somewhat disappointed in his son.

"Do you want to be thieves forever? Stealing a few hundred or a few thousand dollars each time, living it up for a while, and then becoming penniless again, how can you enjoy life?"

"Did you watch all those movies and TV shows for nothing?"

"Which of those underworld bosses who transitioned to legitimate businesses didn't rise to power after pulling off a big heist?"

"Once we take over this place and have the money, we can go straight into business and become successful people!"

The darkness couldn't hide Xi Jie's bright, sparkling eyes.

"But, Brother Jie, do you know how to do business?"

Snapped!
Li Zhuang was slapped on the back of the head.

"What's so difficult about doing business? Aren't all those big shots in movies successful no matter what they do? As long as you're ruthless to yourself and ruthless to others, what can't you achieve?"

"What, you don't want to marry my sister anymore? If you don't want to marry my sister, I'd like to marry your older sister!"

"I only have one sister. Whoever behaves well will be my brother-in-law in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiang and Li Zhuang exchanged a glance, their eyes sparking with unspoken tension.

Seeing this, Xi Qiang nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I've been scouting this place for a few days. Yesterday I cut the power lines in this yard, but no one came out."

"What does that mean? It means there's no one inside!"

"What's the use of having cameras if there's no power?"

“I also did my research. This family are business owners from the city who only come here for a week each month. By the time they discover their house has been burgled, we will have already left Mubei City!”

Hearing Xi Jie say this, the worry in the eyes of the Li brothers, Qiang and Zhuang, disappeared.

"Then what are we waiting for, Brother Jie? Let's go!"

Snapped!
"What's the rush! There's plenty of time. Let me explain!"

"Good good!"

Seeing that the two had quieted down, Xi Jie continued, "When we go in, we'll search first, find out what's inside, what's valuable, and if there's a safe. Once we've determined that, then follow my instructions to retrieve the items."

"If we can't finish moving everything in one night, we'll do it in two nights. If there are any big or valuable items, we'll bring our tools tomorrow and pry them off together!"

"Do you understand?"

Li Qiang and Li Zhuang both showed admiration in their eyes.

"Understood, Brother Jie!"

"Okay, let's go!"

As he spoke, Xi Jie jumped toward the two-meter-high courtyard wall, grabbed it with both hands, and pulled himself up.

The same applies to Li Qiang and Li Zhuang.

In this line of work, everyone has some skills. After a quick glance and finding no doghouse or anything like that, Xi Jie climbed over the wall and landed in the yard.

Once all three had landed, Xi Jie led the way towards the courtyard gate.

After listening to the door for a minute and finding no sound from inside, Xi Jie took out a wire and began to pry open the lock.

The door was opened very quickly.

"Brother Jie is awesome! He can even open this kind of lock!"

Hearing Li Zhuang's compliments, Xi Jie's lips curled up.

He wasn't one of those petty thieves who got interested on the spot; he practiced at home for two and a half years to become a thief!
Whether it's climbing walls, scaling trees, digging tunnels, picking locks, breaking into doors, or stealing cars, he can do it all!

That is, there are limitations; otherwise, he would like to learn about computer hacking.

With his hacking skills, he could block the camera without even cutting the wires.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel to the talented; he was too poor.

After pulling off this big job, he plans to take some time to reflect and mature.

Soon, the three of them slipped into the room.

Ten minutes later, the three of them figured out the situation in the room.

The house is filled with valuable furniture, and there are several computers and mobile phones, which seem to be spares. They could all be sold for four or five thousand yuan!
They even found some jewelry boxes in the master bedroom, and dozens of pieces of expensive clothing, ties, and shoes in the walk-in closet!

They also saw a box of exquisite watches in a glass case. Although they didn't recognize them, they knew they were expensive just by looking at the craftsmanship.

Even so, it was left outside unlocked.

There's even a safe that's half a person's height in the master bedroom!
Unfortunately, after looking at it, Xi Jie realized that this was not a lock he could solve.

After some discussion, the three packed some easy-to-carry items and then carried the safe out.

They planned to take the safe with them and slowly dismantle it at the hideout!

"You fucking lend a hand!"

As they descended from the second floor to the first, Xi Jie, covered in sweat, spoke to Li Qiang beside him.

"Brother Jie, I'm covered in stuff, I can't free up any space!"

Turning his head to look at the ten watches on Li Qiang's wrist, Xi Jie's veins bulged.

"You've packed everything up, what the hell are you going to wear? Is that something you can wear?"

"Oh."

As they spoke, Xi Jie and Li Zhuang lifted the safe a little further.

Just as they were about to reach the door, Xi Jie couldn't hold on any longer.

"Dazhuang, take a break, release it slowly."

"it is good."

As they spoke, the two squatted down and placed the safe on the ground.

Bang!
A sudden sound startled Xi Jie.

"Didn't I tell you to go easy on me?"

"Brother Jie, it wasn't me..."

Li Zhuang said, feeling wronged.

"It's not you, it's a ghost!"

Just as Xi Jie finished speaking, another loud bang came from outside the door.

"Jay, Brother Jay, there's a commotion outside!"

"I'm taking off my watch," Li Qiang said.

"Is it Master coming back, Brother Jie? Let's run!"

Li Qiang was a little flustered.

"Running away my ass! Who's going to come back so late at night?"

Xi Jie cursed under his breath, then quietly approached the gate.

"They might be competitors. Get ready, let's take them down!"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing that it wasn't the owner but a fellow professional, Li Qiang's courage returned.

"Don't make a sound, let me see."

As he spoke, Xi Jie peeked out through the crack in the door.

Because he was afraid that the gap would be too big and be discovered, Xi Jie only opened it one finger wide.

As he moved his head, his gaze swept across the vast courtyard.

Suddenly, Xi Jie's gaze stopped.

A look of confusion crossed his face, and soon his eyes widened in surprise.

My body started to tremble uncontrollably.

Slowly, Xi Jie pulled his eyes out from the crack in the door, leaned against the door, and said nothing, only his breathing could be heard.

"Brother Jie, did you see it clearly?"

Because of the lighting, Li Qiang didn't see Xi Jie's pale face.

Seeing that Xi Jie didn't speak, Li Qiang stood up slowly out of curiosity and looked outside through the glass in the door.

Because it wasn't a crack in the door, the view was open.

Therefore, Li Qiang immediately spotted the four sedan chairs parked on one side of the courtyard.

sedan chair?

Why is there a sedan chair? Was it there when we came in?
Li Qiang rubbed his eyes and continued reading.

Just then, three people stepped out of the sedan chair. The one in the lead was saying something to another sedan chair, but he couldn't hear him because of the distance.

But then, Li Qiang saw three of the four sedan chairs suddenly turn into black smoke and disappear.

Immediately, everyone else was stunned.

Where is the sedan chair?
So what about three large sedan chairs?

Li Qiang rubbed his eyes again.

He thought he was seeing things.

But just as he turned his gaze back to the sedan chair, he saw that the person carrying the sedan chair seemed to turn his head and look at him.

Before Li Qiang could react, the sedan chair and the four people carrying it appeared outside the gate, less than a meter away from him!

As he got closer, Li Qiang finally saw the sedan chair carrier's face.

Li Qiang felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then everything went black.

"Is that what Teacher Xiaoxue taught us... eyes and eyebrows like a painting?"

This was Li Qiang's last thought.

Li Qiang's fall immediately spurred Xi Jie to take off running towards the back door.

Li Zhuang was confused, but he knew he couldn't abandon his brothers.

But just as he picked up Li Qiang and turned to escape through the back door,

In the living room, there was now a sedan chair with its back to him.

When the sedan chair was turned 180 degrees in place by the strange footsteps of the four sedan chair bearers, Li Zhuang's heart skipped a beat.

Pfft!
Li Qiang's body fell to the ground, and Li Zhuang collapsed to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

The family who had just entered through the main gate looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this situation.
