Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thief Baby
Taijia slept deeply for three days before waking up in a daze.
Although he escaped from the line of life and death, he still broke out in a cold sweat, if he hadn't happened to meet someone who saved him, I'm afraid he would have been in the wilderness long ago......
There was a faint pain in his back, and when he touched it carefully, it was a charred black scar, if he could see it, he might be able to faint with fright, after all, his back was now miserable.
"Awake?"
The thief Tongtian suddenly pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind blew in, and the naked Thai armor on his upper body couldn't help but shiver, but he also bowed on the couch and said, "Thank you Uncle for saving your life!" ”
"The humble house is shabby, I hope you are used to it." The thief said indifferently.
Only then did Taijia take a closer look at the thief's house, which was an ordinary board house, covering an area of no more than twenty square meters, and was divided into two rooms. In addition to a narrow bed, there were many miscellaneous miscellaneous items in the front room where Taijia was located, which did not look valuable, and the bronze mustache for cooking was left alone in the corner, and his body was full of scars.
The inner room was blocked by a small curtain, but it was much narrower, and Thaika remembered that three days ago there was a little girl's voice in a daze, presumably the room of this man's daughter.
"My name is Taijia, don't look at me so tall, in fact, I'm only eight years old." Thaika smiled kindly.
The thief was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, he felt that this child did not look like an adult, it turned out to be a face!
"My name is Thief Tongtian, and I don't want to tell you by my real name. As you have heard, I am a thief, and I am only on the way to save you, and if you are prejudiced, you can leave, and the kindness between you and me will be wiped out! ”
The thief's speech was flat, even a little chic, as if he didn't mind letting others know his identity at all, and he was even ready to despise himself as a teenager.
But he didn't care about the boy's contempt, after all, he was used to such a gaze.
Taijia did not despise him, but asked with some curiosity: "Why are you a thief?" ”
He lives in a society governed by the rule of law, and if there is a thief, he must be extremely disgusted, at least it is a kind of person who goes astray or is lazy, even to the point of "stealing Guevara" and becoming an Internet celebrity, he can't like it. But the era is different, the so-called official forced the people to rebel, and I have never heard of the people rebelling because of the sky. It is true that there are thieves who are lazy and lazy, but there are also many people who choose to take this road because they have no way out.
He can't use his current concept to restrain an uncivilized ancient.
The thief was stunned for a moment, but said, "What is the reason for being a thief?" If I steal, I'm a thief, do I need to make up a reason to defend myself? ”
He said it with confidence, as if it was a matter of course to be a thief.
Thaika is silent, a thief will always try to hide his identity, but he is calm...... And when he introduced himself, he confessed that he was a thief, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with him.
He believed that the thief had his own troubles, but as an outsider he did not believe it. What's more, if you run out now under the guise of morality...... With his current injuries, he may not survive tonight.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the thief thought he was thinking about how to deal with this thief, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
In fact, hidden behind the chic thief, it is a fragile heart; In order to hide his vulnerability, he had to build himself into a strong one.
Taijia didn't speak, and the thief acquiesced to his identity and asked, "Speaking of which, what's the matter with your injury?" ”
Seeing the thief mention it all over the world, Taijia remembered the villagers who looked at him angrily a few days ago, tears in his eyes, blood dripping from his heart, he thought about them everywhere, but he was framed out of thin air, and finally ended up like this......
It's just that I didn't expect that the first person I complained about was a thief.
He is not disgusted with thieves in this era, after all, this is not an era with a sound legal system, many people's grievances cannot be redressed, and they can only survive at the bottom of society, and some thieves are also forced to survive.
Taijia sighed lightly: "Foolish people can't be taught, and they can't be taught, but they are limited by it." I think I am worthy of them, and yet I am treated like this! After Thaika briefly explained the matter, tears flowed. He hid the identity of his Divine Son, although this poor country may not know, "Now I can't go back, there is no room for me there......"
The thief thought for a long time, and Nuo Nuo said, "I think they may not have meant it......"
“……”
Maybe it was the unintentional words of the thief, but Taijia took it to heart; He didn't know why a thief with a dashing nature would argue with these ordinary people he didn't know.
But he didn't want to have a deeper discussion with him, after all, the two were two people, and the difference in thinking was inevitable, and he couldn't force him to accept his thoughts, but he wouldn't accept his thoughts.
And all this has cast a veil of mystery over the thief Tongtian himself.
"Anyway, you live here first, I'll find a chance to help you check the news of your tribe......"
Taijia accepted the suggestion, and now he needs to slowly recuperate, and if the tribe can't go back, he needs to find another way out.
"Father, I'm back......"
The little girl outside the house walked in slowly, holding a lot of fruit in her arms, but her interest didn't seem to be high, and she murmured: "My aunt scolded me again, and said that I stole her hairpin......
Before she finished speaking, the little girl saw the awakened Taijia, and her face was first amazed, but it turned into fear, and she cowered and hid in the doorway, not even daring to speak.
"This is my daughter Hotaru Tsuki, I think you should have a little impression of her." The thief Tongtian introduced, and beckoned to the moon with a smile. Hotaru looked at Taijia in fear and didn't dare to come over.
Taijia raised his eyebrows, this name is quite similar to his mother, seeing her cowering, thinking that she was afraid of life, he smiled: "Such a good girl, how old is it?" ”
"I'll be eight next month." When the thief saw his daughter, he smiled kindly.
Taijia said gentlemanly: "Then I came at the right time to celebrate the birthday of such a lovely girl." ”
Seeing that Taijia had no prejudice against Hotaru Yue, tears welled up in the corners of the thief's eyes, but he was also relieved.
"You...... What do you say about me? Hotaru Blushed, and asked with a little surprise and worry, "You, you said me...... Lovely? ”
Tygar blinked in a daze, not understanding what this girl meant.
"You, don't you hate me?" Hotaru asked again.
Taijia smiled bitterly: "It's too late to like such a cute girl, who is stupid and will hate you?" ”
"Uh...... Well, thanks, thanks. Hotaru ran in embarrassed and ran into her room with a red face.
"Did I say the wrong thing?" Taka asked, puzzled.
The thief Tongtian smiled with relief: "No, my daughter, she ...... Alas, because of me, he was looked down upon by the people in the stockade since he was a child, saying that she would also be a thief in the future. Actually, I ...... Alas, don't mention it! In short, I taught her not to go astray, and you were the first person besides me to praise her in all these years! ”
Taijia was a little dissatisfied and asked: "Who said that Lao Tzu is a thief, and a baby is also a thief?" This is too one-sided! ”
The thief Tongtian didn't speak, maybe even he was a little hesitant in his heart, but it was only because Hotaru was his daughter that he wouldn't believe that Hotaru had gone on a fork in the road.
Moreover, he seems to have unspeakable suffering.
Even in the late Qing Dynasty, and even in the 21st century, there are still many people who hold this mentality of "the mouse son will make a hole", because a relative has committed a crime, resulting in the whole family not being able to raise their heads, especially in this more ancient pre-Qin period.
Suddenly, Tygar asked in a low voice, "Does your daughter know that you are a thief?" ”
"In this world, she may be the only one who doesn't know that I'm a thief!" "If I find something I steal, I'll tell him it's the tears of gulls, the feathers of goshawks, the scales of carp......
"You really know how to make up stories." Thaika laughed.
Thinking of his daughter, the thief's face was full of happiness: "Yue'er likes to listen to stories...... She has her birthday next month, and if you don't hate her, why don't you tell her a story to celebrate her birthday? Our family is poor, and we can't celebrate her birthday, so it's best to tell him a story. ”
"Poor? …… What about what you stole? "Only then did Taijia realize a strangeness, the thief is a thief, and the stealing is definitely not a bandit, why is the family still poor? Looking at the layout of the house, it seems that it is really poor.
The thief Tongtian realized that he had missed something, and hurriedly said: "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll ...... it myself."
Taijia looked at him with a deep face, maybe he had his own secrets and was inconvenient to tell him, and he didn't embarrass him: "I can't rob you of your job, since you saved me, I will definitely give her a good birthday." ”
The thief was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Thank you so much." ”
Tygar rolled his eyes and asked, "Can I recognize her as my sister?" ”
"Uh...... Why? The thief was surprised, "I am a thief, if you recognize her as a sister, you will also become my godson...... It's a thief, aren't you afraid? ”
Taijia nodded: "I think you are a good person, and I am an only child, so I would like to have a sister." ”
"How can a thief be a good man?" It was the first time that the thief had heard such a strange opinion, "I don't know where you came to the conclusion, at least others don't think I'm a good person." ”
"And where did the things you stole go?" Taijia smiled mysteriously, "You have a lot of secrets that I am curious about, although you don't say it now, sooner or later there will be a day when everything will be unlocked." And I think Hotaru is a good girl, and she is likely to go astray under the pressure of public opinion...... I felt the need for me to help her. ”
"Even if he is recognized as a thief?"
"Children are innocent, if they insist on this concept, they won't even know their mother when I beat them!"
Although he couldn't understand Taijia's words, the thief's eyes were red, maybe no one understood him for so many years, and at this moment, having more bosom friends made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
But he still made a dashing appearance: "If my daughter agrees, then I have nothing to refuse!" ”
Taijia smiled and patted him on the shoulder, like an elder: "Then I'll bother for a few days!" ”
