Chapter 12: The "Little Thief" in the Middle of the Night
At night, the moonlight shines like water, reflecting the earth.
In the wilderness, a man dressed in a night suit and wearing a mask walked briskly in a certain direction.
His feet are extremely fast, his steps are light and steady, and at first glance he has practiced the method of light weight.
Ren Xinghuai, a snitch with little fame but good skills on the rivers and lakes.
He usually looks down on the famous thieves and thieves on the rivers and lakes.
A thief is a thief, and he is unsightly, and he is known to all, but he has no real benefit.
There is even the kind of thing that clearly commits the crime perfectly, and he has to deliberately leave something to identify himself when he leaves, for fear that others will not know that he did it.
Ren Xinghuai couldn't understand this kind of thing at all, how could there be such a stupid thief in the world!
He thinks that fame and everything are false, and that they can neither be eaten nor drunk as water.
Especially if a thief has a reputation, it is not only useless but harmful.
Only gold and silver are real! Be a thief and keep a low profile!
This is the reason why he has repeatedly committed major crimes in the northwest and has not been arrested yet.
Some time ago, he committed another major crime in Qinghai County next door and fled to Linyang County.
While eating in the restaurant, I overheard someone mention a lucky hunter.
While inspecting Linyang County on behalf of his father, King Ping was assassinated, and the Assassin fought with his henchmen, and was killed by a cold arrow shot by an Orion.
Later, the prince of Ping rewarded the hunter with a lot of gold and silver, a cart of tiger meat, and a good horse.
Some officials of Linyang County thought that they could catch the door of the prince of Ping from Orion, and they also sent a lot of money and treasures to the Orion!
When Ren Xinghuai heard this, he immediately thought about it.
I thought it was much easier to think about this than to steal those deep mansions and mansions.
So he inquired about the path during the day and came at night.
After a while, seeing a dilapidated compound at the foot of the mountain, Ren Xinghuai's footsteps were lighter.
It was the first time he had stolen such a large compound with a large courtyard
Ren Xinghuai observed first, there was no light in the house, and people should have rested.
There is no dog, just a horse on a leash in the yard.
He put his mind at ease, his legs bent slightly, and the courtyard wall more than a person high jumped over and landed steadily, barely making a sound.
Ren Xinghuai looked at the horse in the courtyard vigilantly, not wanting the horse to be motionless, so he didn't react at all.
When he got closer, the horse was asleep standing up, and he was worried.
He turned, crept in the direction of the room, pulled out a knife from his waist, and slowly pulled the latch open.
Now is the time of ugliness, and it is often the time when people sleep the deepest.
It's also the best time to start, as long as you don't make a particularly loud noise, people won't wake up at all.
With his nimble hands and feet, how could there be such a mistake.
So when someone is sleeping in the house, the act of stealing something seems bold and risky, but it is actually very safe and secure.
Ren Xinghuai showed a little smile on his face, slowly pushed the door, and prepared to enter the house.
Click!
Suddenly, the sound of a crockpot falling to the ground and shattering sounded in the silence of the night!
Loud!
The smile on Ren Xinghuai's face froze instantly, and his panicked instinct turned around and fled!
Damn! I capsized in the gutter!
Almost at the same time, Li Qiu suddenly woke up from the bed in a single dress, shocked and angry, and his face was full of murder!
Listening to the footsteps in my ears, I knew it in my heart.
Grab a bow and arrow from the wall, turn over and go to the ground, and two steps to the door!
Stretch your bow and arrows, and look through the moonlight.
A figure swept across the ground like a gust of wind, and actually ran fifty or sixty paces away!
If others see such a situation, I am afraid that they will not think that they have hit a ghost in the middle of the night!
Li Qiu raised his eyebrows, and his bow and arrow moved downward, no longer aimed at the figure's head.
Shout!
Arrows are like electricity, and they are coming in an instant!
A scream pierced the night again!
Ren Xinghuai fell to the ground, holding the leg that had been shot through, looking at the feather arrow that was stuck obliquely on the ground more than ten steps away, his face was painful and hideous!
I heard footsteps behind me,
Ren Xinghuai stood up with difficulty, stood on one leg, and turned his head to look at him fiercely.
He was met by Li Qiu, who was holding a bow and arrow aimed at his head.
Li Qiu stepped closer, glanced at Ren Xinghuai's bleeding wounds, and sneered.
"It's pretty fast, now I'll go back. ”
"Where to go back. Ren Xinghuai asked rhetorically.
Li Qiutou waved in the direction of the house: "Go into the house!"
"If you don't want your head to be shot, be honest!"
Li Qiu said again without warning.
Although Ren Xinghuai was extremely resentful of Li Qiu in his heart, he still wanted to save his life.
According to what Li Qiu said, he dragged his injured leg step by step towards the direction of the house, and blood was dripping all over the ground.
The distance of fifty or sixty paces of escape was a few breaths away, but this time it took half a cup of tea to arrive.
Ren Xinghuai didn't want to mention how aggrieved he was, and he couldn't wait to peel Li Qiu's skin and bones!
But he didn't even dare to turn back, for fear that Li Qiu would misunderstand and end his life with one arrow!
"I admit it in your hands, as long as you let me go, I will take you to the place where I hide the silver, and gold is not a problem!"
Walking to the door, Ren Xinghuai suddenly said.
Although Ren Xinghuai is not very famous in the rivers and lakes, in terms of what he stole, he is definitely one of the top thieves in the entire nineteen counties in the northwest.
Ten thousand taels of gold is really nothing to him, no matter how much he has.
It's just that I'm afraid that Li Qiu won't believe it if he talks too much, thinking that he is lying.
Li Qiu was unmoved, pulled the bow in his hand, and urged sharply: "Go in!"
Ren Xinghuai entered the house quite helplessly.
"Sit down. ”
At the table, Ren Xinghuai sat down honestly.
Li Qiu aimed the bow and arrow in his hand at Ren Xinghuai's head and slowly moved behind him.
Ren Xinghuai wanted to say something more to lure Li Qiu to let him go, and was just about to open his mouth.
Bang!
Li Qiu slapped it with a palm, and Ren Xinghuai fainted.
When Ren Xinghuai woke up and turned around, the sky was already dark,
Everything on his body was touched, and there was paper and pen on the table in front of him.
He didn't know why, but looked up.
Li Qiu pulled a bench and sat opposite him a short distance away, his bow and arrow had just been drawn, still aimed at his head.
"What did you just want to say?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Ren Xinghuai felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, as if it was broken.
The other party made the force black and heavy, not at all like just trying to knock people unconscious.
"I want to say...... I'm not a thief who picks locks, what I said before is true, as long as you let me go, the gold is at your fingertips!"
He thought that Li Qiu was not moved at all just now because Li Qiu didn't believe that what he said was true.
Of course, Li Qiu knew that the other party was not a thief who slipped the door and picked the lock, otherwise the arrow just now would not have shot his leg!
can have such light skills, how can he be an ordinary thief!
Ten thousand taels of gold must be true, but unfortunately he is not interested in gold!
"Why did you turn around and run when the jar hit the ground, instead of trying to enter the house and subdue or kill me?"
Li Qiu didn't seem to hear Ren Xinghuai's words, and asked again.
