Chapter 3 Gulou Street
After Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, set the capital of Kaifeng, Kaifeng was called Tokyo, as an ancient capital of eight dynasties that had experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, and finally reached the peak of glory in this ninth dynasty.

When Xiaoyun first arrived in Kaifeng, he was stunned by the busy and bustling scene, and he didn't know where to go. The thief has an important task before the official theft, that is, to "step on the pile", that is, to walk all the miles around the place of theft, memorize it by heart, and plan the route of theft, the escape route, and even the place where the stumbling and concealing the pile is made in advance. And the object that Xiaoyun wants to steal is extremely special, and there is no hint of stealing the door, where to steal it? Xiaoyun has no idea at all. Fortunately, the teenagers are easy to be curious about new things, and there are a lot of rare things in Kaifeng City that attract this fledgling boy.
Gulou Street is the most famous street in Kaifeng. The streets are very wide, but they are still often crowded with people, and the shops on both sides of the street are one after another, and most of them are century-old shops, and there are many puppeteers. Those who come here can go back contentedly without buying anything, because this kind of eye blessing is not available to everyone. Not to mention the juggling of people with colored eyes that Xiaoyun has never seen, even the ** women who are dressed up and show off their branches are overjoyed to see Xiaoyun.
Xiao Yun was only halfway through shopping and was tired, squatting on the side of the street, biting a string of rock sugar gourds, squinting a pair of eyes that were already small, watching people come and go. Xiaoyun will never stand when he can squat. He has been in the door since he was a child, practiced diligently, and has only been out of the door once in more than ten years. The curiosity of a young man is so strong, he would not have spent such a long time shopping on a street, after all, there are still big things to do, but there are too many new things on the street. No, Xiaoyun saw another interesting thing.
There is a colleague who is "working". Xiaoyun is not an impatient person, even once the kitchen that stole the door caught fire, Xiaoyun went to report the news slowly, but at this time he was anxious to go forward and do a vote. It was also a thief about the same age as him, although the streets were full of "fat sheep" (the person who stole the door could see at a glance where people were hiding money bags, about a few catties and taels, and the thieves called the person who carried more than five taels of silver "fat sheep"), but the boy could not steal a single money. Xiaoyun secretly helped him count, he had already collided with people twenty-three times, but either he couldn't find a place to put the silver, or he didn't rush to start, but he was not discouraged at all, and he still bumped into it one by one. Stealing money bags is the basic skill of stealing doors, Xiaoyun was able to take out a copper coin from the boiling oil pan with his bare hands when he was twelve years old without being injured, at this time, if Xiaoyun was stealing money, he would have been crushed by the stolen silver and couldn't walk.
To make matters worse, the boy stole and threw his hand into the arms of a tall, burly catcher. How could the catcher give up such a good opportunity to show his face? He picked up the thief like a chicken, and shouted loudly with a full face: "Come and see, everyone, I have caught a thief, come and beat him!" The posture was like a great general who had won a great battle shouting in front of everyone.
I don't know that more than a dozen idlers came out of there, surrounded the thief and beat him up. Xiaoyun couldn't bear to look at it anymore, such an older child could withstand a few punches! The idlers seemed to have a great "sense of justice", and they all started with all their strength, and all their fists and fists greeted the thief's vital point, and the thief not only couldn't steal anything, but he didn't even have much experience in being beaten, and he couldn't even care about protecting his head, so he hit the catcher quickly, trying to hit a gap and run out. Although there were many people around, and many of them sympathized with the thief, but no one spoke for him.
Xiaoyun stood up, trying to put a smoke bomb to save the thief, but suddenly squatted down again. Because he saw a strange thing, the boy was at least thirty-eight kicks and fifty-six punches, but his body did not stumble at all, and his two hands were not idle, and he was still touching something on the catcher, and the catcher was still intoxicated with the joy of success, and he didn't notice it at all.
"This kid's thirteen Taibao Heng Lian has been quite popular, but the stealing work is really bad. Xiao Yun thought secretly: "But what kind of money does he steal if he has this ability! ”
Xiaoyun squatted there, staring at the thief, only to see that he finally found something from the arms of the catcher and stuffed it into his arms, and then fell to the ground, pretending to be his grandson. The group of idlers were probably also tired, and they scattered with scolding, and they were too addicted to catching fast, and swaggered away.
The kid was still lying there and didn't move, Xiaoyun and the others walked away before he walked over slowly, squatted down beside him, and said with a smile: "What are you pretending to be when everyone is gone?
The kid opened his eyes, stood up and patted the ashes, just like a person who was fine, he glanced at Xiaoyun and said, "Nosy!", as if strange Xiaoyun was troublesome, his eyes suddenly changed, and his hand pointed behind Xiaoyun, as if he saw something terrible. As soon as Xiaoyun turned around, there was nothing, and when he turned back again, the kid was gone.
"This kid is not only good at hard work, but also good at light work. Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the bustling crowd, as if he saw the figure of the kid flashing again, the smile on his eyebrows was thick again, and he smiled: "But it's still worse than me, if I had run away a long time ago." ”
Being troubled by this strange boy, Xiaoyun finally remembered that he was also a thief, and also remembered the task, so he had to patiently walk through the Longting, Xisi, and Daxiangguo Temple, and wrote down several important intersections in his heart, and said in his heart: "The road in this capital is wide and straight, in case the theft is discovered, it is really not easy to run away without covering the file, why did I choose the three exam questions here, is it really the heaven will descend to the people of Yusi?"
