Chapter 233 Remember to Hold It to Sleep
Gao Ge and Qin Yuming act fast.
Now is already later than 12 pm. There are not many passers-by or cars in the street, so they don’t need to look right and left when walking across the street.
Of course, it is not a good habit but a measure under the emergency. Children shall not follow the example.
When they just walk across the street, they are just in time to see the man in black holding a shovel in one hand and carrying a small box with the other hand.
Upon seeing Gao Ge, the man looks horrified and subconsciously turns around to run away.
“Evil, where are you running to?” Qin Yuming shouts angrily and runs after him.
Gao Ge feels headache.
What a stupid woman.
What did she just say?
Doesn’t it occur to her that the man is the very owner of the farm tool store they met before?
Qin Yuming moves quite fast, just like a female cheetah. She throws a kick at the running man and knocks him down successfully.
“Don’t hit me. Don’t hit me...”
The man holds his head with his hands directly.
“Say it! Who are you?” Just like a strong man, Qin Yuming reaches out her hand to lift the man with staring eyes.
“It’s me. It’s me...”
“How can I know who you are?” Qin Yuming gets so angry.
She feels that the man just gives her an irrelevant answer.

“I know him.”
Qin Yuming turns around to look at him in confusion.
Gao Ge coughs and kicks the middle-aged man away, saying, “This is the owner of the farm tool store. We met him earlier today...”
“We did?” Qin Yuming finally comes to her senses and pats her head, shouting, “Oh yeah. So we catch the wrong guy?”
“Not necessarily.” Gao Ge turns aside and walks to the middle-aged man. He lifts the man and says, “What did you do here?”
“I... I was having a walk!” The middle-aged man has come up with an excuse and suddenly flies into a rage, “I was only taking a walk near my store. What’s wrong with you? It was kind of me to lend you the shovel in the daytime and now you have beaten me harshly. How can you do this? You’ve violated the law! You are criminals! I’m calling the police and ask them to arrest you!”
Qin Yuming feels flurried.
Gao Ge appears calm and says grinningly, “Go ahead. Is your cell phone out of power? If so, I can do you a favor.”
The middle-aged man stops pretending to take out his cell phone.
He looks at Gao Ge with his eyes full of confusion.
Is Gao Ge really not afraid at all?
“Take him away first.” Qin Yuming says.
Gao Ge nods his head and drags the middle-aged man over, knocking the door of Chen Long’s store.
The store is not big but at the back of the store there are two rooms, so Chen Long and the little girl sleep in the store.
“What’s up?” Chen Long looks puzzled but when he sees the man caught by Gao Ge, he is surprised instantly, “Li?”
“Chen, ask your friends to release me!” Upon seeing Chen Long, the middle-aged man feels as if being saved so he hurries to shout at him.
Although Chen Long doesn’t know what’s going on, he feels that Gao Ge and Qin Yuming won’t just make trouble for Li out of no reason.
He turns on all the lights in the store and then brings a chair over to let Qin Yuming sit down. Gao Ge is only an ordinary Dragon Court member so of course he doesn’t get a chair.
“Tell us. Why did you dig this thing out? Did anyone ask you to do this? Or the whole thing is only done by you?” Qin Yuming asks.
“What are you talking about?” Li sits on the ground with a puzzled face.
Moreover, he is not faking at all.
Qin Yuming frowns and stands up to slap him in the face.
She slapped with strength.
Otherwise, Li wouldn’t roll over in the air and fall on the ground while vomiting blood mixed with teeth.
“I am bad-tempered. Now that I’ve given you a chance, you must answer my question.” Qin Yuming sits down again with her long legs crossed and her slim neck slightly raised, who looks as aloof and proud as an empress sitting on the throne. It just reminds people of a line in the poem–There is a beauty in the north, lonely and isolated from the world.
The slap makes Li completely dumbfounded.
Chen Long looks at him from aside and feels sorry for him, saying in a low voice, “Li, just answer my leader’s question honestly, unless you want to die here.”
Li doesn’t reply probably because he is still in a trance caused by the slap.
Chen Long is so angry that he stamps on the feet, “You just want to die here and take up my coffin and a few wreaths as well as paper dolls, right?”
Li finally comes to his senses.
He glances at Chen Long with a complicated look.
He is not that crazy to take up things in the funeral stuff store.
“I only wanted to dig out the treasure...” Li stammers.
“To dig out treasure?” Gao Ge is amused, “Do you think this is treasure?”
“In the daytime, I saw you guys digging stuff over there and saw a wooden box...” Li falters.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he was knocked off a few teeth by Qin Yuming, he cannot speak clearly.
Hearing that, Qin Yuming can’t help frowning.
Gao Ge is greatly tickled, “So you made great effort at night only to hunt for treasure?”
“Yes...”
“How about opening the box and taking a look?” Gao Ge asks.
Li doesn’t move.
Qin Yuming is thrilled and hurries to say, “See? He doesn’t dare to move! He must hide something from us!”
Gao Ge says in a low voice, “He really doesn’t dare to move.”
Qin Yuming’s motivation has been poured cold water by Gao Ge.
“Now open it.” Gao Ge asks.
Li believes he has found a treasure and meanwhile worried about being seen by others. Hence, by now, he has no idea what is inside the wooden box.
Judging from Gao Ge’s expression, Li finds that Gao Ge doesn’t look like joking. After being silent for a while, he takes a deep breath and reaches out his hand to drag the little coffin towards himself.
He opens the coffin cover and sees the two dead cats inside. He screams in horror and crawls backwards far away with his hands and feet.
“It...”
Terrified by the thing before him, Li becomes tongue-tied.
“Weren’t you looking for treasure? Now are you happy? Are you surprised?” Gao Ge sneers.
Li is shivering nonstop.
“Since you have dug the coffin out, you must hold it to sleep. Otherwise, you will be haunted by ghosts.” Gao Ge says seriously.
If he says that in the daytime, Li must burst into laughter and doesn’t take it seriously.
However, Gao Ge said it in the funeral stuff store at midnight in a gloomy tone.
Li feels that his blood freezes.
“Okay. Now take it with you.” Gao Ge waves his hand.
