Chapter 46: Amusing Stories of Chasing Thieves
Liu Yu and the others took off running after the thief. The thief was quite fast, weaving through the crowd like an eel.
Liu Yu shouted as she ran, "Stop right there! Don't run!"
The thief turned around and made a face: "Come and chase me if you dare!"
Xiaoqing stomped her foot in anger: "This guy is too arrogant!"
Xu Xian, panting heavily, said, "I... I can't run anymore."
Bai Suzhen said, "You wait here, we'll go after them."
Liu Yu was sweating profusely, her shoes almost falling off: "Hey, I'm definitely going to catch you today!"
The thief ran to a corner and suddenly disappeared.
Liu Yu and the others stopped and looked around.
"Where did that kid run off to?" Xiaoqing asked.
Just then, Liu Yu saw a watermelon stall nearby and had a sudden inspiration.
"I've got an idea!" Liu Yu picked up a watermelon and shouted, "Thief, if you don't come out, I'll smash you with this watermelon!"
But nothing happened.
Liu Yu then said, "This watermelon is so sweet, why don't you come out and try some?"
Still no response.
Xiaoqing exclaimed anxiously, "Brother-in-law, your method won't work!"
Liu Yu scratched his head, just as he was thinking, when he suddenly heard a snoring sound.
They followed the sound and found the thief asleep in a large vat.
Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "This guy is really carefree; he can still fall asleep at a time like this."
They pulled the thief out of the jar.
The thief mumbled sleepily, "Don't make a sound, let me sleep a little longer."
Liu Yu tapped his head: "What are you sleeping for? Get up!"
The thief then came to his senses and, seeing that he had been caught, quickly begged for mercy: "Hero, spare my life! I'll never do it again!"
Liu Yu retrieved the treasure and said, "Hmph, I'll let you off this time, but don't let me run into you again next time."
The thief quickly ran away.
They continued walking and came to an inn.
Liu Yu said, "Let's rest here tonight."
Upon entering the inn, Liu Yu shouted, "Waiter, bring me a few superior rooms, and some good wine and food."
The waiter replied, "Alright, please wait a moment, sir."
Soon, the food and drinks were served. Liu Yu picked up his chopsticks and started eating, but he bit into a piece of raw ginger, which made him stick out his tongue from the spiciness.
"What kind of dish is this? Why is there ginger in it?" Liu Yu complained.
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be so picky."
While we were eating, two people at the next table started arguing.
One of them said, "You stepped on my foot!"
The other said, "I didn't do it on purpose."
The two argued more and more fiercely, and eventually they even started fighting.
Liu Yu quickly went over to mediate: "Don't fight, don't fight, let's talk this out."
As a result, he was accidentally punched in the face by one of them, which made him see stars.
Bai Suzhen asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Liu Yu covered her face and said, "What did I do to deserve this?"
After finally managing to calm the fight down, Liu Yu and the others returned to their seats to continue eating.
That night, Liu Yu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a noise outside the window.
"Could there be a thief?" Liu Yu quietly walked to the window and looked out. It turned out to be a cat running on the roof.
"Oh dear, that startled me." Liu Yu patted her chest.
The next morning, they prepared to set off.
Liu Yu went to fetch the horse, but the horse had disappeared somewhere.
"This horse is so disobedient!" Liu Yu looked around.
After searching for a long time, they finally found the horse sleeping in a haystack.
Liu Yu said angrily, "You lazy bum, I had to look for you everywhere."
They mounted their horses and continued on their journey, eventually arriving at a riverbank.
The river looked quite deep. "How are we going to cross it?" Liu Yu asked.
Xiaoqing said, "How about we swim across?"
Xu Xian quickly shook his head: "I can't swim."
Bai Suzhen said, "I will use my magic to take everyone there."
So, Bai Suzhen used her magic to carry them across the river.
Just after crossing the river, we saw a bustling market ahead.
Liu Yu said excitedly, "Let's go for a walk."
The market had everything. Liu Yu saw a stall selling masks, picked up a Pigsy mask and put it on, making everyone laugh.
Just then, a street performer was showing off his fire-breathing skills, and Liu Yu curiously went over to watch.
As a result, the fire-breathing accidentally burned a hole in Liu Yu's clothes.
Liu Yu jumped up: "Oh no, my clothes!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Just as they were having a great time, the system spoke up: "Host, a new mission has arrived..."
