"Who stole my food?" On Crouching Tiger Mountain, on the side of the vegetable field behind the small Taoist temple, Xiao Yi shouted angrily to the sky.

In addition to practicing martial arts and sleeping lazy, Xiao Yi's remaining time is almost all spent growing vegetables, this vegetable field is opened up by the old way of 'out of the dust', the original scale is not large, but the general is self-sufficient.

After Xiao Yat came here, he carried out a large-scale expansion of the vegetable field in line with the principle of 'do it yourself, have enough food and clothing'; now the scale of the vegetable garden has been considerable, not only enough to supply the needs of the master and apprentice themselves, but also often pull out some to give to the people under the mountain; planting vegetables, inspecting the vegetable field has become one of Xiao Yat's daily inevitable homework, and it is also one of the few pleasures after coming to the era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because the weather is getting colder, in order to store enough vegetables for the winter, Xiao Yat planted a large number of cabbage in the vegetable garden, watering, fertilizing, and removing insects...... I take care of it with my heart and heart, and I look at the good growth of cabbage every day, and my mood is happy. But when Xiao Yi came to the vegetable field this morning, he was surprised to find that a whole bunch of cabbage was gone, to be precise, it was stolen, or to be precise, the cabbage heart was stolen, leaving a large piece of cabbage sticks scattered all over the ground, as if he was laughing at him as a vegetable grower......

This is simply a naked stealing of the fruits of one's own labor; When he was in college, in order to protect the vegetables on his QQ account from being stolen, Xiao Yi set an alarm in the middle of the night every day, got up on time to collect the vegetables, and would rather sacrifice the time to sleep than lose a dish, but now, looking at the whole bunch of cabbage that was stolen, how can he not be angry?

The little Taoist priest was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

After carefully inspecting the scene of the crime, the fence of the vegetable garden was not damaged, and there were no footprints of strange humans on the ground, except for the cabbage poles on one place, the sand seemed to have been rolled by something; Except for a few black hairs, nothing else remained.

In the evening, Xiao Yi told Da Niu and Ma Liu about losing vegetables, and the three of them discussed, usually there are few people walking around the mountain, even if there are woodcutters and medicine pickers going up the mountain, they will not steal the cabbage of the small Taoist temple. And the fence wall of the vegetable patch was not destroyed, which again vetoed the possibility that a wild beast had broken in......

Before the three of them could discuss what to do, the next day, Xiao Yi found that the cabbage had lost another bunch of ......

This is worth it, the little Taoist priest completely broke out, and the catch of the vegetable thief was raised to a strategic height, and the ground was broken on Lao Jun's head! Stealing vegetables in front of the Taoist priest! Is it tolerable? It's unbearable!

After research, the three energetic teenagers unanimously decided to keep watch in the middle of the night and catch the vegetable thief.

After dinner, after reciting the mantra of purifying the heart, and after the old way returned to the house to rest, the three of them changed into black night clothes, took knives, guns and sticks, prepared ropes, and quietly came to the edge of the vegetable field, secretly ambushed, and waited for the vegetable thief to come to the door......

Catching thieves is much more fun than growing vegetables!

The first watch, the second watch, the third watch......; The enthusiasm and patience of several people continued to wear out with the passage of time, and the autumn night was cold outside the mountain style, except for the occasional owl cry in the night, and the wolf howl sounded from time to time in the distant mountains, and the people who listened were terrified......

At the fifth watch, the three of them felt sleepy, and they couldn't help but go to Zhou Gong to report to duty; Xiao Yi, who was extremely sensitive in sight and hearing, suddenly felt something running over, only to see that in the hazy night, a black creature ran to the outside of the vegetable field very quickly, and then jumped in lightly, and then there was a gentle chewing sound from inside.

The vegetable thief finally came, and when he found out about the situation, Xiao Yi hurriedly woke up Da Niu and Ma Liu, and the three of them crept towards the vegetable field and slowly surrounded them......

"Click!" In the process of surrounding, the big bull accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground, and the things inside seemed to be very alert, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he jumped out of the fence wall with a leap and disappeared into the night like a gust of wind...... Only three people were left stunned in the cold wind......

"Do you see what?"

"It's too dark, but it doesn't look like a human, four-legged, it should be a beast!"

"What grass-eating beast can run so fast? Like a gust of wind! Can you jump that high? ”

"Could it be a youkai running out of the mountains?" Da Niu said with some fear.

………………

Back to the Taoist temple, the three people who got nothing had a heated discussion, and the big bull insisted that it was the mandrill ghosts in the mountains who had become spirits, and asked to ask the 'dusty' old way to take action, open the altar, and subdue the demons and eliminate the demons!

Ma Liu believes that it is an animal like a wild sheep, but he cannot give a reasonable explanation for why the wild sheep can run so fast and easily jump over a high fence wall.

Xiao Yi has been silent, just touched his chin, and thought quietly, although he was wearing a robe, he was still a staunch atheist, and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if there are really monsters, hehe! Isn't it much more fun to hunt demons than to catch thieves?

What is most terrible in the world is not beasts, nor ghosts, but emptiness and loneliness; In ancient times, entertainment activities were originally very scarce, but now that there is such a fun thing, how can Xiao Yi give up easily, as the saying goes: "Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless!" Fight with the ground, and the fun is endless! Fighting with demons is even more fun! ”

After dawn, Xiao Yi went to carefully investigate the situation around the vegetable field, within a radius of hundreds of meters, not even a footprint was spared, and then repeatedly looked at the tooth marks left on the eaten cabbage, and when he came back, he smiled confidently on his little face, revealing two deep dimples, and he looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.

Outwit when you are strong, and capture alive when you are weak! After learning the lessons of the last failure, Xiao Yat re-made the tactical arrangement - earthwork.

The three of them worked together to dig several connected big pits on the edge of the vegetable field where the cabbage grew best, three meters in length, width and depth, with a small mouth and a large belly, and the four walls were smooth and inclined, leaving no focus point...... In this way, the vegetable thief fell in, his feet were full of mud, his legs were wrapped with hemp rope, and the four walls were smooth and sloping walls, and it was absolutely impossible to escape.

Finally, on the top of the trap with thin dry branches, carefully set up, cover with leaves, sprinkle a layer of floating soil, put a few pieces of cabbage sticks that were scattered before, and then use his boots to cover a few obvious big footprints, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the vegetable thief, Xiao Yi also deliberately found some wild beasts on the mountain and put them on the floating soil......

After the trap was arranged, a hidden hiding hole was dug at the upwind outlet fifty meters away from the vegetable field, and after doing all this, Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction, and Da Niu, Ma Liu's eyes looked at Xiao Yi in addition to admiration, but also a trace of fear, how much more demonic people can come up with such an airtight tactic, "The big pit is set in the small pit, there is water in the pit, and there is a rope in the water" is really more cunning than a fox, if this is the enemy of Xiao Yi one day? ……

In the future, the two famous generals of 'Niu Tou' and 'Ma Mian' who crisscrossed the battlefield have always implemented all the strategic deployments of 'Hou Xiaoyi' 100%, and there is no doubt about it, because they firmly believe that Hou Ye's deployment is absolutely impeccable......

Forty years later, when the Taishi of the Great Wei Dynasty wanted to write a biography for Xiao Yi, he asked Niu and Ma, 'Wuchou Hou' fought countless battles in his life, and that battle command was the most classic? When is the deployment most successful?

The two replied in unison: "Cabbage." ”

The bait has been sprinkled, and it is waiting for the prey ravine.

One night, two nights, three nights, several days have passed, maybe the last time I was frightened, the vegetable thief did not appear again, the three of them were a little impatient, but Xiao Yi still stubbornly persevered, he deeply knew that the magic weapon to defeat the enemy in addition to wisdom and bravery, but also need patience. Practicing martial arts during the day and keeping vigil at night, when the strongest bull was about to hold on, finally, at dawn on the seventh day, when people were most sleepy in the day, the black shadow appeared outside the vegetable field again......

The black shadow first circled around the vegetable patch, and as if he had found something, he ran away again; Xiao Yi held down the big bull who was about to rush out, and shook his head gently, not tired of cheating; Sure enough, after a while, the black shadow ran back again; Swinging his head to look at the surroundings, he sniffed the smell again, then chose the right place, jumped lightly with his front hooves, and flew over the fence wall with graceful movements, and then, with a loud bang......

Hearing the sound, the three of them rushed out of the hiding hole, Xiao Yi lit the torches that had been prepared long ago, and the ox and the horse took out the nets woven with rattan in the mountains, buckled them, surrounded the traps, and looked into the traps under the light of the fire.

The three of them were taken aback and said, "The vegetable thief turned out to be it!" ”
