Chapter 6: The Thief

Thieves, thieves, thieves, thieves.

I don't know when it began, there was such a group of thieves in Heyang City, they were in tatters, lurking in the dark corners like a shadow, stealing foreign merchants and pedestrians. More than 100 taels, less than 1 or 2 taels, the local officials are also a headache, every time they punish, but because they are too young, they can't meet the conviction standards, so they have to be educated and let them be new people.

As a result, these thieves and babies were in groups of three or five, seven or eight groups, and they died more and more. Today, my luck is not good, and even a few travelers are yellow and thin, and they are destitute, and I thought that the young masters were hungry and made up some leftovers to eat, and lived on the flyover road for a night. Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and the Heyang folks and neighbors can't steal it, after all, they have to go out to mix in this market. The disciples of Shenxiao Palace would not dare to steal, and they would cut off their hands and feet, and if they met the evil woman just now, they might be dragged out of the restaurant and killed. The old monk is not worth it, and the master who goes out to ask for food will give him a few copper plates by himself! There was a big commotion in the Longfeng Building. The little Jin Ye wears gold and jade, and he makes great mistakes, according to past experience, he must be either rich or expensive, such a big money, who will he steal if he doesn't steal?

If it were an ordinary person, this little thief would have run away and disappeared, and if he stole a few dozen taels of silver, he would have stolen it, and he should have given it all to help him to abuse it, and accumulate some yin virtue! But his golden-scaled master's silver was stolen? Lin'an is a tyrant on the ground, and in the long run, he says that he bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil, and in the short term, he says that he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has all five drugs, and the stinky boy does not steal to your Grandpa Jin's head with long eyes, then it is not called a strong dragon and does not suppress the head snake, it is indeed Tai Sui's head that breaks the ground, and it is greasy!

At the moment, it was decided that if he was 108,000 miles away from Lin'an, he would not lose the face of the demon king of the big banner country!

If you kid dare to be a thief, I will dare to be a bully bandit, otherwise I won't do evil for three days, and the people of the world will forget my little golden master's methods.

Suddenly, the wind rose in his ears, and a rough and thin hand led his collar, kicked his feet into the air, and the whole person flew up.

He was taken aback on the ground, and looked up to see that the bitter hand that grabbed him turned out to be Xuan Zhi, who was walking in the air at this moment, and his thin figure was put in the wide and dim old robe, faintly meaning to be out of the dust.

"Old monk, it's so powerful!"

Golden Scales said. In fact, the ability to fly away from the sky is not unusual, for example, there are so many extremely powerful existences in the palace of the Great Banner Country, but unfortunately, he has not seen it. When he was a teenager, suffering from the records of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, he also cried to Ji Tianyao that he wanted to go to Longhu Mountain to learn the way of immortality and flying to the sky, but Jin Mu refused, accompanied by the respectful inducement of carrots and sticks, and said:

"It's a hooligan to cut people with a knife, you kid is not a good champion, you want to be a hooligan?"

Since then, it has left an indelible wound in Jin Lin's young heart.

Now, if he really sees a master, how can he not be surprised, how can he not be afraid, and how can he not be happy?

Xuan Zhi saluted with one hand and said with a smile:

"The old man can't accept your favor in vain, it can be regarded as a table of wine and meat to repay the little son, and besides, the elimination of evil is the fundamental ...... of the education of people in my Buddhism."

After that, he was endless, and he insisted on broadening the meaning of Buddhism and popularizing it boundlessly. The ears of the golden scales who listened were calloused.

Heart:

Old monk, powerful is powerful, but too verbose.

Just wait, after a while, the two of them found the figure, and the golden scales struggled and were about to pounce, but the old monk stopped him, and shouted a Buddha horn, saying:

"Don't hurry, just wait for his accomplices!"

Jin Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled, this old monk is so scheming, he deserves to have a wisdom word in his name.

The black shadow trotted all the way, passed the gate building of Heyang City, ran to the loess highlands for several miles, hid in a ruined temple at the foot of the mountain, and disappeared without a trace.

The door was closed with a "snap", and the beams of the house full of insects were "gurgling", and a temple dedicated to the living Buddha of Jigong was about to collapse.

"Huh......"

The wind swept by, stirring up the dust and dust on the ground, and the sunlight in the void came in from outside, illuminating the inner hall that had not seen the light of day for a long time, and the rotten air was completely drained, leaving only the faint residual fragrance of broken pear blossom trees.

After beating the Buddha of Jigong, there was a woman's soft voice, and finally from behind the candlestick felt a slender palm full of wounds, and then, a person covered in black skin stood up, she trembled in, and the figure could be seen to be a woman, but completely retracted into a cloak full of torn patches, unable to see the face, vaguely heard, the sound was like a silver bell.

"Tiger ......"

It turned out to be a thief baby, eight or nine years old, unkempt, not as tall as for the platform, Xu is just a long body, a pair of dark linen pants is obviously shorter, revealing a black oil shiny calf, the pair of cloth shoes that I don't know who pounced on and wore and mended, one large and one small, and they were not bought by themselves. The funny thing is that on the freckles on the face, a nose seems to be very proud, and it is so funny that it is so funny.

"Sister, don't get up if you're fine, you have to pay more attention to rest, Doctor Wang said that you need to recuperate from this illness!"

Xiaohuzi is young and old, and pulling down that little face is a serious lesson for her sister who is two rounds older than her.

The girl smiled bitterly and said in her heart: Where is there a miracle doctor, how can there really be a miracle doctor who can't cure me? For a while, my mind was inextricably linked, and it seemed that my heart was so miserable that I turned a thousand times. His eyes were wet, and he said:

"My sister's life is hard, maybe when she will go with your short-lived mother. ”

Xiaohuzi's nose was also sour, but the poor man's child was already in charge, so he held back his tears, knowing that he was a man now, and the man did not dust off his tears, but pretended to be a hippie smiling expression and said:

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, after a while, my brother has saved enough money, so I will go to Shenxiao Palace to ask for a gold pill for you to eat, it will definitely cure all diseases, maybe it will still be a beauty, and when the time comes, I will send it to the palace to be a concubine, and my brother can follow you to eat and drink spicy food." ”

The sound and color he described, even if the girl's heart was like ashes, she didn't feel that "poof" came out with a happy sound, and the two sisters and brothers laughed by themselves, and it was rare to be happy.

At this moment, the door suddenly "collapsed" and was pushed open again, and the two of them were startled, and found that four or five hairy little flowers were pouring in under black pressure, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaohuzi was unusual, with a small face, with a big boss posture, and said:

"Is there anyone behind?"

Among the children, a little girl who was half a head tall was squeezed out, and her dirty red clothes had been washed and faded, and the flower lattice patches on it were repeated over and over again, and she couldn't see the superiority, only the big eyes were as pure and beautiful as jasper.

"Brother Huzi, no!"

She straightened her chest, and the little girl, who was already precocious, now seemed to be a level higher than all the children, and she exclaimed with pride:

"I should have come back a long time ago, but the little pig was greedy and greedy, so I had to steal Huang Laosan's sugar gourd and was annoyed by him, so I took time to get one for him. ”

The little girl raised her small mouth, pulled out the white and tender little fat man who was hiding in the crowd and vaguely dragging two snots, and said that she didn't forget to gently kick the round big ass at the atmosphere.

Xiaohuzi smiled and scolded:

"You foodie!"

The crowd laughed and was so happy.

"Brother Huzi, open it and see how much silver is in that money bag, I think that very good-looking boy brother must be rich!"

The female doll said happily.

Xiaohuzi snorted coldly, the female doll he heard said that the golden scales were good-looking, and for a while, his delicate face comparable to the popular Yanzilou Oiran floated in front of him, and he couldn't help but say angrily:

"Brother Gongzi who looks like a woman must not be a good thing! Ya'er, I don't allow your eyes to light up when you see a beautiful boy!"

He was still childish, and some of his words were more domineering, but it did not affect him at all, the girl named Ya'er was sweet in her heart, and a warmth flowed from the inside.

In front of everyone's eyes, Xiaohuzi carefully took out a splendid mandarin duck money bag in his arms, faintly carrying a faint floral fragrance unique to a girl. He didn't know, this purse, the golden scales were always carefully hidden along the way, if he saw the little hands of this child's turtle claws in front of him, he would probably be angry.

"Wow, that's so much!"

The babies couldn't help but exclaim. I saw that this beautiful and delicate money bag was not filled with silver, but full of heavy gold ingots. Even though they had stolen a lot, they had never seen that much money.

After all, the girl has more minds, and she is busy:

"Huzi, with so much money, that person must not be an ordinary person, I'm afraid I can't afford to provoke him, so we'd better pay him back. ”

Xiaohuzi is now enjoying the happiness of the stars holding the moon, you must know that the money in his pocket has always been allowed to enter but not to leave, and it is similar to the golden scales.

"Sister, don't be careful, that boy brother has long been dumped by me, besides, I took his money and called it for Tianxingdao, otherwise, we will drink the northwest wind, and the fool will pay him back!"

He has a lot of thieves in his heart, and secretly calculates that he survived this trip and scraped together enough money, and it was enough to go to Shenxiao Palace to take a look.

The girl was worried, and all the children coaxed together, surrounded the little tiger, and shouted at the top of their throats:

"Only a fool will pay him back!"

At this moment, a faint voice came.

"You're really not going to pay me back?"

At this moment, his face was full of anger, and he picked up a brick in his hand, and he rushed to the stand, no different from the bastards fighting on the streets in Heyang City, where is still the image of a talented and elegant and delicate son.

On the contrary, the old monk who followed behind him was full of kindness and his eyes were very soft.

"Wow!"

There was a commotion, the group of thieves and the rats who fried the pot were in a mess, some hid behind the Buddha statue, some got under the broken table, and a fat man simply took a piece of cloth and covered his head, lying on the ground and rising with a big buttocks, as if waiting for death.

However, Xiaohuzi's face was shocked, white, and a little manly, he stepped back, opened two extremely thin arms, and hurriedly protected Ya'er and his sister, scared for a long time, and then he was out of breath and said:

"The rules of the rivers and lakes will not cause trouble to my family, I stole your money, if you have any means, come to me!"

Jin Liang was surprised, there are still rules of the rivers and lakes, and everyone in the world knows that Xiao Jin Ye never talks about the rules of the rivers and lakes. He wanted to get the money bag back, but he didn't expect this kid to be angry, and he looked a little like he was messing around on the streets of Lin'an when he was a child.

No, I was so stupid when I was a child, and I would have raised my face with dust and ran away with those boys.

So, playing with a big heart, wanting to have fun, his face was wicked, and he said with a sneer:

"Okay, anyway, the money has been recovered, let's follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, I'll take a brick and unload one of your arms. Whether to remove the left hand or the right hand, you choose!"

Xiaohuzi listened to the pain of the flesh, thinking that his right hand was used to stealing and robbing, and he couldn't give it, and he still held the girl in his left hand to enjoy the blessings.

On the side, Xuan Zhi frowned, he sighed secretly, he didn't even see it, this young man in front of him, at a young age, has such a vicious mind, this thief baby has lost an arm, can he still live?

The arrow had to be sent on the string, Xiaohuzi took a deep breath, he thought that he was a man, he had to protect his sister and girl, he was the boss, and he had to take care of the little brother under his hand, as soon as he turned his head and closed his eyes, he handed the black left hand to the golden scale, and shouted:

"Just this hand, you hurry up, I'm afraid it hurts!"

Really, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone. Jin Liang couldn't cry or laugh, and said secretly: Sure enough, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach!

Xuan Zhi sighed bitterly, he saw the brick raised high by the golden scale, held in mid-air, and wanted to stop it, but unexpectedly, a figure was faster than him, hugged one of the golden scales' thighs, and cried:

"Uncle spare him, we are in trouble, you removed one of his arms, tell him how to beg for a living, and I hope you raise your noble hand and don't hurt him." ”

She burst into tears and snot, and then yelled at Xiaohuzi, crying:

"Little Huzi, you kneel down for the uncle, kowtow and admit your mistakes!"

She was in a hurry, and she forgot for a while, and the black cloak on her head suddenly slipped off, revealing an extremely ugly face full of lupus.

"My grass, my mother!"

Jin Liang was startled, there was a beggar in Lin'an City earlier, there was a lupus on his buttocks, he was very proud, every time someone's little daughter-in-law, the eldest girl showed off, he took off his pants and showed off to his mother, and the frightened women of the good family fled in all directions. All the people in Ancheng thought he was disgusting, and now, I didn't expect this girl to be covered with lupus, and he couldn't help but be afraid!

"Don't come here, I'm afraid!"

Xiao Jin Ye hid behind Xuanzhi like four horses. Xuan Zhi smiled bitterly, this little benefactor, just now he had a face of eating people without spitting out bones, how could he have thought that he was so small, what was there to be afraid of.

The girl had not dried her tears, and when she saw the golden scales frightened like this, it was all so bad that she was not good!

Suddenly, Jin Liang only felt a pain in his shoulder, it turned out to be his own bag of gold ingots, and when he looked again, he saw Xiao Huzi with an angry face, standing in place, he was trembling at a young age, his face was red, and he shouted at Jin Scale:

"The money is back to you, get out!"

After that, he ran over, afraid that his sister would be hurt again, so he hugged her gently and gently, his face sad.

For a while, Jin Liang was stunned in place, he usually only said that he was bitter in studying, and the ring ruler in his master's hand was bitter, maybe he was also bitter without a father since he was a child, but the real bitter people in the world were not imagined.

He regretted it a little, maybe just now, if he couldn't help but speak, that girl wouldn't cry!

"Amitabha!"

Xuan Zhi pronounced a Buddha horn and walked over to the girl's side. Xiaohuzi hurriedly glared at him viciously, and shouted with all his strength:

"Old bald donkey, what are you going to do, don't touch my sister!"

Xuan Zhi seemed to be deaf, he stretched out a hand, and the little tiger was lifted up like a chicken cub in his hand, and he threw it lightly, but it fell aside.

Jin Liang was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the old monk was so good, could it be that he couldn't hold it...... I really know the face of the person and the heart, and hurriedly shouted:

"Master, you ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xuan Zhi say to the trembling girl:

"Don't be afraid, girl, the old man knows a little about medicine, please stretch out your hand, let me give it a try!"

The girl paused for a moment, as if she was still a little resistant, and slowly raised her arm, revealing an arm that had long been dissatisfied with the scabs and could not see the skin.

Golden Scale was taken aback, and the hairs on his body suddenly seemed to rise, and he said secretly:

Is this still a human arm?

Xuan Zhi frowned, took out a shabby cloth bag in his arms, and when he opened it, it was of different lengths, dozens of silk needles as thin as hair, he used it quickly, took out a few, and pricked a needle under the three big points in her hands, Shaoyang, Tianchi, and the sea of blood.

The girl suddenly cried out in pain. On the side, Xiaohuzi was shocked, he thought that the old monk was going to torture his sister, so he hurriedly got up and rushed over to fight with him.

"Old monk, what are you doing!"

Suddenly, a foot kicked him on the side, and the little tiger glared angrily, only to see that the golden scale had a gloomy face, and said:

"What are you doing, the old monk is treating your sister, don't do much!"

Xiaohuzi still didn't dare to rest assured, and looked at him viciously, only to see that Xuan Zhi suddenly had luck in his hands, and an incomparably golden light illuminated the entire temple, at first glance, it seemed to have a miracle.

He held the girl's wrist with one hand, and closed her palm with the other, and saw that the scab on the girl's hand slowly fell, revealing the tender red skin like a baby. When it came, the girl suddenly burst out a mouthful of black blood, all of which hit Xuanzhi's dim and shabby robe.

Xuan Zhi smiled discouragedly, he slowly withdrew his hand, at this moment, the old face seemed to be pale and even more haggard, and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiaohuzi and said:

"This is a good medicine for poisoning in my door, one every three days, which can report the peace of this female benefactor for three months. ”

Xiaohuzi knelt down and took it with a thousand thanks. On the contrary, Jin Liang heard clearly on the side, and hurriedly asked:

"And what about three months from now?"

Xuan Zhi's face sank, and he sighed and said:

"The poisonous lupus she gave birth to, accumulated over time, the poison has entered the heart, although I just used the gong to remove the poison, but it is a symptom but not a cure, if you can't go to the heart poison after three months, I'm afraid that her life will not be saved!"
