Chapter Forty-Eight: Attracting Thieves

The other party attacked the official horse, which has to be said to be a very vicious method. The government stipulates that the official horse will be fined ten taels of silver when he dies, and the Zhou family is poor, so he can only be forced to sell his land and pay a fine of silver, and finally end up as a slave or a displaced.

People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

Zhou Zhi doesn't want to be a wicked person, but he never wants to be an honest and weak person who lets others bully him casually, and doesn't say anything when he lets others ride on his neck and.

At this time, Zhou Zhi's two eyes were extremely cold.

In his mind, since they started to do it, the official horse would never give up if he didn't die. The news that he cured the thin manure of Mara today may be known to the other party now, so Zhou Zhi judged that it was very likely that they would drug the official horse again in the middle of the night today.

Fortunately, at this time, many families in the village had just had dinner, and they could even see people on the street, so they should still have time to prepare. This time, I must let them know that I am very thoughtful.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

、、、、、、

A round of missing moon hung obliquely in the western sky, sprinkling a hazy light, and it was impossible to see people's faces a few meters away. At this time, it was the third watch, and there was silence outside the village.

Two black shadows slowly appeared in the courtyard of the Zhou family, one after the other. They first peeked sneakily into the room, and in silence they looked at each other, and then walked to the stables.

One was outside, and one of them went straight into the stable.

In the corner of the courtyard outside, a pair of cold eyes were watching them with bated breath. Suddenly, this person slowly stood up, he had the size of an adult, his face was handsome, and his face was angular, which was Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi pinched his nose, made a voice like a male duck's voice, and said tremblingly, "You two horse thieves, dare to come and steal the official horse of the Zhou family, see that I don't tell Zhou Zhi tomorrow, let Zhou Zhi go to report to the official." ”

In the silence of the night, although Zhou Zhi's strange voice was not loud, it immediately made the two black shadows tremble. The man who had just entered the stable had not had time to light the lights before he jumped out of the stable. He looked into the corner of the outer courtyard and saw a man standing there, looking at the two of them.

"Who are you?" The black shadow that had just come out asked in a low voice.

"Who does he care? You and my actions are known to him, so he can't do it, chase, catch up with this guy first and see what he wants to do, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will abolish him first. Another dark shadow also lowered his voice.

"By the way, did you just get it?"

"It's not time yet!"

"His grandmother is a bear, you kid is grinding. Forget it, let's clean up the outside of the hospital first, this guy will come back. ”

The two of them muttered briefly, and then rushed towards Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi turned around and ran, and while running, he turned back and scolded with the voice of the male duck just now, "It's useless for you two dog thieves to chase me, I will definitely inform Zhou Zhi Kid tomorrow and let him go to sue the official." ”

He spoke like this, but there was obvious cowardice in his tone.

The two black shadows chased after each other, and Zhou Zhi also sped up. Follow the main street of Hakugaku Village all the way to the west, and go straight out of the village. Not far from the west of the village is the mass grave, at this time the night wind is cold, blowing the half-height artemisia grass in the mass grave, as well as the remaining yellow leaves on the elm, jujube trees and other miscellaneous trees, making a cold sound, which makes people can't help but feel creepy.

Most of the mass graves are ownerless and lonely graves, and there are children who have died in Baiyue Village, and they are generally simply dug and buried here. During the day, the timid people in the village easily did not dare to come here, and it was the third watch in the middle of the night.

Zhou Zhi quickly burrowed into the half-human-high thorn artemisia grass in the mass grave. The two black shadows watched Zhou Zhi enter the mass grave, and they couldn't help but stop outside and hesitate.

"I said, did you see who he was just now?

"I don't see clearly, how did he get into the mass grave? Isn't it ......."

"What is it?"

"It can't be a ghost, right?"

"Put your mother's stinky shit, what kind of ghost is it, didn't you hear him just now, ghosts can still talk?" One of the black shadows was obviously arrogant, and even scolded the other person.

Zhou Zhi suddenly shouted in a very sharp and harsh voice, "Hehe! What's going on? You two are too timid to follow me into this mass grave? Hum! You don't have the guts. Tell you two dog thieves, I have seen who you two are, and I will wait for the government to come and arrest you tomorrow!

If you don't dare to come in, get out! Grandpa is going to rest. ”

The sound was like a nighthawk crying, which was extremely unpleasant, and it made the two black shadows chill all around, and the roots of their hair exploded.

But after a moment, the two of them glanced at each other, and then they went hand in hand and chased in Zhou Zhi's direction. Zhou Zhi could see clearly, and one of the black shadows had an extra sharp knife with a bright ox ear in his hand at some point.

Looking at the sharp knife, Zhou Zhi's eyes slowly narrowed. I secretly thought, as a traverser, am I still afraid of you two ignorant ancients? Come on, Master is waiting for you here.

Thinking like this in my heart, my footsteps slowly moved back, and from time to time I had to raise my feet high before I fell gently.

"You ...... What do you want to do? What do you do with a knife in your hand? Zhou Zhi still asked in a sharp voice, but his voice trembled obviously, so that the two black shadows thought that Zhou Zhi was very frightened at this time.

Zhou Zhi was frightened, but the courage of the two was stronger. When I first entered the mass grave, I was still a little hairy, and I almost didn't know which two legs to take. But now he is taking open steps and constantly approaching Zhouzhi.

"What? Today is the day of your life, see how nosy you are? The man with the sharp knife said in a dark voice.

The thorns and artemisia grass under their feet had been simply cleared by someone at some point, and there was clearly a path here.

Zhou Zhi looked at them coldly and said timidly, "Two, you ...... The villain knows that he is wrong, if he doesn't tell Zhou Zhi tomorrow, that kid is, let me go! ”

"Hmph, let you go? It's beautiful to think, how much work have you wasted uncle, if it weren't for your Zhou family's official horse, he would have died long ago! If you don't kill you, it's hard to understand the anger in your uncle's heart. ”

As soon as his words fell, he suddenly let out an "oops" and fell to the ground like a dog's.

Zhou Zhi had already arranged several ropes on the ground in advance, specially used for tripping people. It's no wonder that Zhou Zhi has to raise his feet high from time to time when he retreats.

The other person just opened his mouth and shouted, "Brother Niu, you ......" Before the words fell, he fell into a trap.

The trap was naturally dug in advance.

"Oops! Fall me to death! It hurts, what did I step on? He immediately exclaimed.

What did you step on? Naturally, it was a sharp thing such as a wooden peg and an iron pin that Zhou Zhi had placed in the pit in advance.

Zhou Zhi's face showed a grim look, and he was extremely cold. He visibly held an axe in his right hand, and slammed it down at the man who had fallen earlier.
