The shopkeeper took out a bunch of spare keys, and sure enough, as Wu Song said, the spare keys in his room were not there.

"Shopkeeper, listen to me, what's that guy's name, what's that?"

Wu Song asked.

"That man...... Hey, that's him!"

The shopkeeper was remembering the name of the fellow when he suddenly stretched out his hand.

Wu Song looked in the direction of his finger, and a guy was walking outside the post station, and it was the guy Wu Song had rewarded with agate before.

"Stop!"

Wu Song shouted as he ran.

As soon as the guy saw Wu Song chasing after him, he ran away.

The two of them left the post station one after the other and entered a nearby grove.

Wu Song ran the Yuan Force, and the wind was under his feet. But although that guy didn't cultivate, he relied on his familiarity with the terrain and ran around, but he didn't let Wu Song catch up.

After running for nearly half an hour, Wu Song relied on Yuan Li, but he was not too tired. The guy couldn't, tired and out of breath and staggering.

The two were more than twenty meters apart, and the distance was getting shorter and shorter. After running for a while, the guy fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Wu Song walked to a distance of several meters, slowly approached, and said, "You can't outrun me, hand over the sword." ”

The guy rolled over and slumped on his back, unable to get up and down his airway, "Don't you think about it...... Don't want to get the sword back. ”

Wu Song thought to himself, this guy didn't hit the south wall and didn't give up, and strode towards him.

As he was walking, his feet suddenly fell into the air, and his body fell straight down.

Wu Song reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out to grab the side. As a result, there was nothing next to him, and the pit wall was two meters away from him.

Wu Song was not flustered, as soon as his feet touched the bottom of the pit, he jumped to the side with his strength. His hands were caught in the wall of the pit, and his body hung in the air.

Only then did he realize that the pit he was in was supposed to be a trap for hunters to catch wild beasts. The pit is about four meters deep, and at the bottom of the pit are sticks covered with sharpened wooden sticks.

But strangely, the sticks were not facing upwards, but were put down.

In this way, even if the beast falls into the trap, it will not be stabbed to death.

"I'm sorry, you can rest down there. ”

Overhead, the voice of a guy teasing. Needless to say, all this was his ploy, pretending to be exhausted, in order to lure Wu Song into the trap.

The four-meter deep pit may be difficult for ordinary people to climb, but for a monk like Wu Song, it is not a difficult task. Just to prevent the beast from escaping, the deep pit was filled with sharp wooden thorns at the entrance of the cave, causing Wu Song to delay for some time.

After escaping from the pit, the guy naturally ran away without a trace.

Wu Song returned to the post station, and Yang Shuang was in his guest room, asking him where he went.

After learning that the Dragon Eclipse Sword had been stolen, Yang Shuang was also shocked. She had seen the power of the Dragon Eclipse Sword and knew its value.

Since the thief is a fellow of the inn, he must have left personal information in the inn.

Wu Song went to the shopkeeper of the post station and got the name and address of the guy from him.

According to the shopkeeper, the man came a month to work at the inn. According to Wu Song's estimate, this guy should be a thief who steals for a living, and coming to the post station as a buddy is just a trick to steal the belongings of the guests in the post station.

In that case, his name, address, etc., which he left in the post station, should be fake.

Wu Song thought about it for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on the thief's address.

He instructed Yang Shuang to take care of the puppy, and when Gangfeng and them came, he told them everything that happened, and let them wait patiently in the post station.

Wu Song searched for the address that the thief had left in the inn, which was a small town a few miles away near the inn.

Following the address, Wu Song came to a courtyard. Outside the courtyard, there are two huge stone lions, with teeth and claws, very mighty.

It can be seen that this courtyard is the home of a wealthy man. Wu Song was very sure that this was definitely not a place for thieves.

How could a rich boy do something like stealing chickens and dogs? What's more, that guy didn't look like a rich boy at all.

Although the address is fake, Wu Song believes that there is a connection between this place and the real residence of the thief.

The thief could not have fabricated an address out of thin air, he must have been impressed by the rich man's yard before using the fake address.

Why is he so impressed by this address? Does he live around here?

Wu Song came to a tall building and looked into the distance, trying to find out the suspicious places nearby.

In addition to this courtyard, there are several spacious courtyards nearby. Walking more than two miles outside, the spacious courtyards no longer appear, replaced by simple houses and dirty streets. Poor people wander the streets, like lifeless walking corpses.

Wu Song's eyes lit up, and he knew that he had found the right place, and that thief was in that poor place nine times out of ten.

He came down from the tall building and into the poor street.

The people who live here should be poor people in the town, all of them ragged and dirty.

However, even in such places, there is evil.

Wu Song was walking when he suddenly heard a quarrel in front of him.

In front of a roadside stall, a group of people quarreled. This stall has some vegetables on it, and they all look fresh. Behind the stalls, are several children ranging in age from a few years old to a teenager.

Three well-dressed *** were in front of the stall, shouting loudly.

"Every stall here has to pay us money, this is the rule, you little rabbit cubs are the first day to come, don't you understand?"

The first man said that this man had dysentery on his head, and his hair looked like he had been gnawed by a dog.

"Brother Mao, we all know the rules, but we really don't have any money recently, so you can give it a few more days. ”

The eldest child trembled, very afraid of this Mao Zige.

"No, I'm going to give money today. You say there is no money, there is no money?

Brother Mao Zi gave an order, and the two people standing behind him came to the back of the stall and began to search the children.

"Yo, what are you hiding in your pocket?"

One of his men grabbed a child by the hair and was about to reach for his trouser pocket.

"You let go, that's the money for grandma's medical treatment!"

In a hurry, the child opened his mouth and bit down on the arm of the man. 、

"Ahh

The subordinate let out a cry of pain and threw the child to the ground.

The child got up from the ground and ran to the alley behind.

"Chase!"

Brother Mao Zi took the lead in chasing after him, and the other two subordinates and the remaining children also followed.

The child ran into a dilapidated courtyard in the alley, and Mao Zige and the others also entered the courtyard later.

"Why don't you run?"

Brother Mao Zi was out of breath when he ran, and he covered his stomach and said.

"Hand over the money!"

Brother Mao Zi took a long stick from the other two subordinates, and walked towards the child while smiling.

There are many children living in this compound, all of them yellow and thin, and they all seem to be orphans.

The teenage child who was behind the stall stopped in front of Brother Mao Zi and said, "Brother Mao Zi, we won't let you take this money, it's for our grandmother's treatment." ”

"Get out of here!"

Brother Mao flew up and kicked the kid aside.

When the other children saw that Brother Mao Zi was so vicious, they all retreated far away.

The child who took the money cowered in a corner, unable to retreat, and was so frightened that he cried.

"These people are really hateful!"

Wu Song couldn't stand it anymore in the dark, and was ready to come forward.

Before he could show up, a man rushed in from outside the courtyard, stood in front of the child, and shouted, "Stop! ”

Wu Song fixed his eyes and saw that this person was none other than the guy who stole the Dragon Eclipse Sword.

How did this thief end up here, and what was his relationship with these kids?

A series of questions arose in Wu Song's mind, he did not enter the courtyard, and continued to observe in secret.

"Yo, isn't this the second child? I heard that you went to the post station to be a buddy? How is it? Business is much better than before, right?"

Brother Mao Zi held a long stick in one hand and quipped.

"This is this month's regular money, take the money and leave quickly!"

The thief, known as Xiao Er, took out a money bag from his bosom and was still on the ground.

"Well, the money is enough. Sure enough, I said yes, I was so generous, I stole a lot, right? Tell me, how much did I steal?"

Brother Mao Zi threw the money in one hand and said with a smile.

"It's none of your business, your money is already yours, get out of here. ”

Xiao Er said sharply.

"Yo, you've got a lot of skills, you dare to talk to me like that. I'll tell you, rabbit cub, just say this to you, this month's regular money has risen, take out all the money in your arms. ”

As soon as Brother Mao Zi saw that Xiao Er was rich, he immediately played a scoundrel and wanted to rob Xiao Er of all his money.

Brother Mao Zi and two of his subordinates surrounded Xiao Er, and Brother Mao Zi took advantage of Xiao Er's unpreparedness, and the long stick swept his feet and put Xiao Er to the ground.

The two men grabbed an arm and pressed Xiao Er to the ground.

"Let go of the second brother. ”

A little girl walked up to Brother Mao Zi and took his hand.

"Get out of the way!"

Brother Mao Zi waved his hand violently and threw the little girl aside.

The little girl fell to the ground and cried.

"Hey, stop fighting. ”

Wu Song walked into the hospital, picked up the little girl, and fought with a few people on the ground.

"Who are you? It's none of your business, don't meddle with it, get out!"

Brother Mao Zi turned his head and glanced at it, ignored Wu Song, and continued to grab Xiao Er's money.

"Is there something about me now?"

Wu Song picked up a few stones and hit one of them on Brother Mao's ass.

It didn't take much effort this time, but Brother Mao Zi was still moved as if he had been bitten by something, and the pain made him jump up immediately.

"You're looking for death!"

Brother Mao picked up the long stick and hit Wu Song on the head.

Wu Song sent another stone and hit Mao Zige's knee.

Brother Mao fell to the ground, only to feel that his knees seemed to have been shattered, and he cried in pain and called his mother.

"You wait!"

Brother Mao Zi knew that Wu Song was not easy to mess with, so he dropped a cruel word and let the two subordinates help him out.

Wu Song walked up to Xiao Er and said, "Are you okay?"

"Why did you save me, I stole your stuff and let you fall into a pit?"

Xiao Er was puzzled.

"What's your relationship with these kids?"

Wu Song said, he saw everything just now, and he vaguely understood that this little second did not look like a bad person. Thinking back to the pit before, the spikes that were put down at the bottom of the pit must have been done by Xiao Er.
