Chapter 4: Narrow Encounters (3)
Bai Linglin, who escaped from Mingbi Villa, restarted her life of displacement, she was afraid of being alone in the wilderness, and orphans without parents could only wander. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so when Mr. Chen of Mingbi Villa agreed to take her in, she was sincerely grateful and cherished, and vowed in her heart that she must be innocent from now on. Although she was forced to make a living, she also had petty theft, but the fear and uneasiness in her heart kept her awake all day and night, and once passed by a dilapidated temple, and even knelt in front of the Buddha to confess.
The poor life gave her infinite skills, Bai Linglin, who grew up on the beach when she was a child, was begging for a hundred families to survive, and the experience of following the fishing boat to go out to sea to fish allowed her to practice a stunt, and her golden bell silver net can not only catch fish but also catch people. This is not only her protective stunt but also her secret that she does not pass on, and she has never shown her two kung fu to anyone, I believe that it is difficult to imagine that such a gentle and gentle girl can actually do a few martial arts tricks up and down Mingbi Villa.
The free life of wandering around on the rivers and lakes, Bai Linglin is also handy. She decided to return to her old business, and the severance pay given by Chen Siyu was kept as money to save her life, and her daily expenses depended on pretending to be a ragged street child to sneak around on the official road.
The arrangement of fate is unpredictable, if she hadn't met Lin Yueyuan, maybe Bai Linglin's life would have passed in stealing chickens and dogs year after year. There is a certain number in the dark, and everything has completely undergone irreversible changes because of Lin Yueyuan's northward journey.
It was getting late, and the moonlight was beautiful. Lin Yueyuan hurried for a day's journey, and there was still no end in sight on the road ahead, and there were no people around, only the green hills and green trees that kept looking. A few clusters of fires and a few human voices rang out in the woods by the side of the road.
Lin Yueyuan got up and dismounted, leading the horse towards the firelight. Surrounded by the firelight was a group of poorly dressed merchants and a few beggars, who were also heading north. They sat around a large fire, and above the fire was a large steaming iron pot, from which white mist rose and the red light hit everyone's faces.
She wondered how the merchant could sit with a dozen ragged beggars, who were happily eating theirs, not taking her presence seriously.
Lin Yueyuan thought that anyway, there were many people here, there was a fire, it was not cold at night, and there were women and children among the beggars, which was much better than sleeping on the street alone. She tied the horse to the large trunk of a hundred-year-old pine tree behind her, took out a silk quilt from the heavy red burden on the horse's back, spread it on the ground, and sat on the tree to sleep.
She was tired and hungry, all the way to the guest house, in the end it was the first time to go out, the rivers and lakes have little experience, so there was no dry food, and now she happened to meet a group of people not far away eating and drinking. She is a big lady anyway, so it's not good to condescend to ask them for some food, so she just hurry up and go to sleep, so that she won't be hungry when she sleeps.
Out of the beggars came a filthy-looking little beggar, her face covered in mud and dust, and her patched clothes shabby and clean. She wears a men's black melon-skin hat, and a black silk is ironed inside. Two fingers tugged at the brim of her hat, deliberately lowering it to hide her clever and cunning gaze. The corners of his mouth were crooked, and his eyes were greedily staring at the heavy package tied to the horse behind Lin Yueyuan. According to her experience, there will be silver and gold in it.
The little beggar was Bai Linglin in disguise. In order to cover people's eyes and ears and facilitate theft, she often disguises herself as a casual person, today she is a restaurant guy, and tomorrow she is a rich young master. Recently, she has taken a look at the vendors of the past.
She first blended into a group of beggars who had fled the famine, and gave them advice, and the beggars followed her advice: they slept during the day, and at night each was equipped with a bamboo stick, and dozens of people lined up with bamboo sticks to the official road. The requirements are not high: half of the dry food will be divided, and we will have a meal.
Businessmen adhere to the creed of safety first, and more is better than less. Moreover, they will not rob us of our gold and silver, but give food and charity to the poor.
They are very good at calculating, but they are no better than Bai Linglin, who is cleverly calculating.
Just as they sighed and sat down to eat, a pair of black hands hidden in the night shuttled among the people, dividing chopsticks, taking bowls and spoons, and stealing some money from the merchants by the way. She returns with a full load almost every time, and it can be described as tried-and-tested.
Tonight was her last action.
The experience of veterans in the rivers and lakes: no matter how easy the method is, it can be one or the other, otherwise sooner or later there will be a day when the stuffing will be exposed. So tonight she wants to make a perfect end to her career during this period of time, and she can only succeed, not fail.
Tonight, which could have been recorded in the history of her theft, made her suffer the embarrassment of being a teacher for the first time. The caravan she had robbed had failed to do business and had gone north to return home. Bai Linglin went through their luggage privately, but she couldn't find anything valuable. And according to the rules she set, she only had one ticket per night. Seeing that the harvest was hopeless, Lin Yueyuan entered her sight, and things seemed to have taken a turn for the better.
She said hello to her accomplices and lied that she was going to pay respects. Leaving the team, he hid in the grass, hiding behind a big tree, and slowly moved towards the horses behind Lin Yueyuan.
A human head poked out from behind the big tree next to her, she glanced at Lin Yueyuan, saw her sleeping with her eyes closed, and then jumped behind her and hid on the side of the tree. The horse looked down intently and chewed on the withered grass on the ground, and she pulled out the dagger in her bosom to cut off the burden, and the whip swept over her head and struck the thin branch on the opposite side, which immediately broke off and fell to the ground. She was alert, shrewd, curled up, wrapped in a ball, leaned against the tree, and remained silent.
Lin Yueyuan looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing except the silhouettes of the trees faintly visible in the dark night and the chirping of a few birds on the branches. She sat back down hesitantly, clasped her hands on her knees, and continued to rest.
It's strange that this girl dares to go on the road alone, because she is strong in martial arts. Bai Linglin's encounter with a strong enemy inspired her fighting spirit more and more. Fighting alone is not an opponent, but you can play tricks, you are definitely not my opponent. She secretly grinned, like a broken jade doll.
If you want to take a stitch and thread from Lin Yueyuan, with her three-legged cat kung fu, it is not an easy task, if you take away the luggage of the merchants easily, it is really easy. So a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches in the back of the scheme was born in her brain.
She first picked up a cloth bag wrapped in clothes from the merchant's horse, and then threw it at Lin Yueyuan's feet. Lin Yueyuan was awakened and reached out to pick it up. A thunderous cry sounded behind him: "A female thief has stolen something, come and catch the thief." ”
The merchants found out that the things had been stolen and surrounded Lin Yueyuan to demand it. With the cloth bag in her hand, she caught the thief and took the stolen goods, and she couldn't argue.
It was only when the sound of the horse's hooves sounded that she comically recalled: the thief shouted to catch the thief.
Dare to make fun of Miss Ben, I will make you regret giving birth. Lin Yueyuan looked at the dust and smoke splashed by the horse's hooves in the distance, and sneered to himself fiercely.
After Bai Linglin succeeded, she rode on horseback and proudly counted the silver taels in her baggage, which was enough for her for a year. With money on her body, she didn't panic, she excitedly planned a place to go out and play, and went straight to Chang'an from Jiangnan.
Fortunately, Lin Yueyuan kept a part of the emergency coil close to him, and followed up with the palace waist cards and put them together. Once she was close to catching up with Bai Linglin, but she missed a good opportunity to stop her because she was uneven and rescued her.
Bai Linglin was outside Chang'an City, and met three down-and-out scholars who entered Beijing to prepare for the exam, and she deceived them into trusting them with clever words. The little beggar was transformed into a pretty little girl, and she changed into a blue moon dress, and her snow-blue shirt with large sleeves embroidered with her favorite tulip flowers.
