Wan Liutang said: "The bandits are so bold that they have come to find out our whereabouts, which is really hateful. It seems that we are too kind, but the bandits have vain evil thoughts and dare to come and pick the tiger's whiskers again. We will punish them in earnest, so that they will be emboldened. ”

Sun Haotian said: "Senior brother, I don't think the female butcher wants to make a comeback, or the henchmen of the soul-chasing Bai Lun want to come to avenge him." However, the soul-chasing Bai Lun, I already know that he has been shocked by me, and it will be difficult for him to come in person. We'll have to see what the best gangsters are going to try their hand at night?"

While speaking, it was already the end of the day, and Sun Haotian and Wan Liutang took advantage of the dusk to go outside and stepped on all the roads around the store. The south side is not counted, it is the street, the east of the store is a succession of shops, next to the store is a sincere dye house, and an oil and salt shop, and the west is a tofu shop. Immediately behind the shop are two private houses, one is an ordinary person, and the other house is a pot man who sells oil; and there are more than a dozen houses in the courtyard, but there are more than a dozen old Shandong people who sell oil, all of whom are bachelors and have no families. Sun Haotian and Wan Liutang stepped on the road, and memorized the roads suitable for the bandits to enter and exit, as well as the situation of the neighbors' houses next to them.

This brother has a rough measurement, and knows where the bandit will come from and where it will go. He turned back to the store, looked at the situation in the courtyard, and pretended to be walking in the courtyard. I saw that there was a corner door in the upper room and the east and west houses of the mountain where I lived, all of which were two wooden doors, and the brothers and sisters went inside. Inside is a small courtyard, in the west courtyard is a north room and a west room, and the east courtyard is a north room and an east room. From a very narrow passage next to the north room, I walked through it and walked north, which was outside the back window of the main house. This is the north wall of the shop. Under the back window of the upper room, there is a sandwich road more than five feet wide, and there are many dilapidated furniture, tables and stools piled up against the wall. Coming in from the east courtyard, go around the back wall of the upper room to the small cross courtyard on the west side.

The assignment of the shopkeeper at night was completed, and the four men took turns to keep vigil. But as the days go by, the guys will inevitably be lazy. It's so dark behind the room, such a secluded mezzanine, no one wants to come. Fortunately, outside the wall was the household, and the pot man who sold oil, on one side was the kind people, and on the other hand, the strangers bought and sold the business according to the rules of Bentuli, so there was no trouble. The shopkeeper knew that the man would not keep vigil according to the rules, and as long as there were no accidents, it was inconvenient to be too strict.

At that time, Sun Haotian and Wan Liutang walked around the back of the room, looked at the height of the back window with all their attention, and walked out of the small courtyard tightly. It was nearly dusk, and two of the four shopkeepers were standing outside the door, beckoning passing customers, who were busy serving the guests of each house.

Senior Brother Sun Haotian investigated like this, but the store didn't pay attention to it. When the brother returned to the house, the oil lamp was already lit. Situ Qian and the silly boy Zuo Heng were all sleeping in the room, Zuo Heng was still snoring, but the master of Ciyun Nunnery went back to the single room in the wing.

The sixth disciple of the master of Ciyun Nunnery, Xiu Yuan, was in this room, washed the muddy shirt and pants that the silly boy had changed, wrangled them out of the basin, and dried them on the chair.

As soon as Xiu Yuan saw his father-in-law Wan Liutang and his uncle Sun Haotian coming in, he was a little embarrassed, and two red clouds immediately surged up on his cheeks, so he put his wet shirt and pants on the back of the chair, and lowered his head and was about to go out.

Sun Haotian sat down in front of him, and said solemnly: "Xiuyuan, you are the true color of chivalry." In the spirit of helping each other in the same boat, the silly boy is really innocent, treats people and does things sincerely, and I like him very much. He is also a poor child, no father, no mother, no brother and no brother, cultivating fate, you can be so unrestrained, not reserved about any doubts between men and women, this is deeply in my heart. Don't think in your heart that you are a woman, he is a man, he can't take care of his business, and if there is a boundary in his heart, it is not the true nature of our chivalrous way in the spiritual cultivation world. Like you, Senior Brother Situ Qian, don't talk about it. He is both wise and a teacher, and he has already been able to enter the spiritual realm and practice the Tao. Like Zuo Heng, there is no one to take care of him, how can he do it? We are all a family, as long as we are open-minded and help this stupid junior brother, no matter how strict the rules of the master of the nunnery are, I can't say that you are inappropriate, right? ”

Wan Liutang also nodded and said, "Okay! Just like Senior Brother's words, I am still the person who is most afraid of being too pretentious, and people in our spiritual cultivation world are always honest and honest. Xiuyuan, you dry your junior brother's clothes, look at your master, if you don't do your homework, please come over and I have something to discuss with her. ”

Xiu Yuan agreed: "Yes." "Turn around and go out to ask the master of Xia Ni Ciyun Nunnery.

Xia Ni's female disciple Xiu Yuan, for the silly boy Zuo Heng, she always cares unconsciously. I sometimes warn myself, I am a female disciple of Buddhism, although I have not been shaved, I have finally become a monk, although I confess with my heart, I do not self-check, and then fall into the ridicule of my senior brothers, then it is really impossible to redeem.

Xiu Yuan is an extremely intelligent woman, and she can see everything more thoroughly than others, but she can't ignore this stupid junior brother invisibly. I had to keep my mood in my mood all the time, and I just hoped that the master would find the Xiuming junior brother as soon as possible, turn back to Bizhuan with the master, worship the Buddha in the morning and dusk, and not contact the junior brother, that is. But this cultivation and Zuo Heng are the fate of the world according to the cause and effect of Buddhism, where can she get her?

Let's say that Xiu Yuan came to the private room, the master of Ciyun Nunnery sat on the palm futon and closed his eyes to meditate, and when he saw Xiu Yuan coming in, he opened his eyes and glanced at Xiu Yuan, and asked, "Are your teachers and uncles back?"

Xiu Yuan hurriedly replied: "Uncle Sun asked the master to go to that house, and there is something to discuss with the master." The owner of the nunnery nodded and stood up, and came to the upper house.

Sun Haotian told Xia Ni about the situation inside and outside the store, and asked Xia Ni: "If the bandits really come to seek revenge at night, will we kill them all, or will we capture them and deal with them?"

The master of Ciyun Nunnery said: "If you talk about the situation of this bandit party who is not afraid of evil and the law, killing one is to do a disaster for the good people. In recent years, the poor nuns have known that the killing is too heavy and will hurt the peace of heaven, so they still warn them, so as not to make the corpses and bones in this inn. We still follow and chase the fleeing bandits, and it is important to rescue Yunuo and Fengmei. If they don't come tonight, we can't stay long. You can only hurry at dawn, what do Senior Brother and Brother Wan think?"

Wan Liutang, the life-sustaining divine doctor, said: "What the master of the nunnery said is extremely true! However, this group of bandits is really not easy to influence, and they have all developed that kind of cruelty and viciousness, and we can't take confessions from him." We must give him some great hardships to eat, so that they may also know to be vigilant, so that they may know how great we are. ”

Sun Haotian said: "Of course, heavy punishment should be given, but we have to take care not to make trouble for the store." While he was talking, the shopkeeper brought in the meal.

The master of Tzuyun Nunnery and the four disciples were all vegetarians, and they all went to fast in a single room. After the meal, the owner of the nunnery told the four disciples to just rest when they arrived, and they should not worry about rejecting the thief, so they came back to the upper room and chatted with Sun Haotian for a while, and the shop gradually became quiet.

After arriving at the watch, Sun Haotian went outside to check again, and saw that most of the houses rested early, and the courtyard was dark and gloomy.

Sun Haotian returned to the house and said to the owner of the nunnery: "We still don't know how many people from the bandit party come? Do you really dare to come? As the saying goes, knowing the other side will win all battles. The enemy is dark and I am clear, so we should first check the enemy's virtual and real movements clearly, so as to start. ”

Wan Liutang said: "Then after we get to the second watch, we will turn down the lights in the house, as long as we can distinguish the situation in the house." We simply pretended to sleep, watched how the thieves attacked, and did not scare them away early, as long as we punished them when they did. Sun Haotian and the master of Ciyun Nunnery all nodded and said yes.
