Chapter 347: There Are Thieves
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the always lively Nanshi was terribly deserted, like a ghost town!
Dong Ce took three sticks of incense, respectfully served Mr. Du well, and then lit two more sticks and walked out of the academy, looking at the street without people, he felt a wave of excitement in his heart!
Compared to the bustling and lively, Dong Ce prefers the desolation of the apocalypse, preferably, and now, when a few staggering, limping, and rotten guys come out of the streets, then Dong Ce is even more excited!
This may be the only childlike nature that remains in his heart.
"Soon, soon there will be zombies walking all over the streets!" Dong Ce had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and put incense on both sides of the gate.
"Brother Dong, come and help me!" In the academy, Fang Shuwei's call suddenly sounded.
Dong Ce's door was not closed, he entered the academy, and Fang Shuwei cleaned up the offering table, when Fang Shuwei was busy preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Dong Ce took a beef leg bone with meat from the kitchen and threw it to Xiaohu, and immediately made Xiaohu happy, holding the beef leg bone and refusing to let go, gnawing and licking with relish.
Xiao Pi, who is extremely humane, suddenly looked at Dong Ce pitifully.
Dong Ce smiled and gave it all the fruits on the table, which made Fang Shuwei, who had just come out of the kitchen, serving chicken in one hand and fish in the other, very dissatisfied after seeing it: "Brother Dong is so good to it, he will teach it badly, and it will definitely steal offerings every day in the future." ”
"If you don't give it to it, will it not steal it?" Dong Ce turned around and walked to Fang Shuwei's side, took the plate, and said, "You should get some vegetarian dishes." ”
"There is also a roast suckling pig, and then make a vegetarian dish, can you finish eating?" Fang Shuwei said this to prove that she is not lazy! Very virtuous!
But Dong Ce was depressed, before he asked Fang Shuwei not to do it, but she didn't listen, now it's okay, there are chickens and fish, and a roast suckling pig, just two people, is this going to eat from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival?
Looking at Fang Shuwei, who continued to return to the kitchen to be busy, Dong Ce's mood suddenly became a little more melancholy.
Last year, he spent time in busyness, the year before last, he spent time in the joy of Dong's mansion, and now, there are two people again!
It's just that the people with gray temples in their memories have been blurred and difficult to recall, and the dilapidated courtyards and narrow and rotten cement alleys in the past have also been wiped out.
Dong Ce unconsciously picked up the wine jug, took a big sip, swallowed it, and said abruptly: "The matter of solidarity has become empty, and the lovesickness is overnight." After the sound of the rooster is gone, it will be haggard and see the spring breeze. ”
"Good poetry, really good poetry! Hahaha......" After Dong Ce finished speaking, he suddenly smirked loudly.
Fang Shuwei happened to come out with the cut roast suckling pig, and when she saw Dong Ce's crazy appearance, she couldn't help but want to nag a few words, when she suddenly heard a clangling sound from the front hall, which made the two people in the patio stunned.
"I'll take a look." Dong Ce immediately put down the wine jug, rushed to the front hall with an arrow step, and just saw a figure running out with a piece of something, Dong Ce was stunned, looked back, and found that the offering table was over, and the portrait of the ancestor hanging behind the offering table was actually gone!
"it!"
Dong Ce's non-closing of the door is also the custom of his hometown in his previous life, he has to wait until the incense is almost burned, and after offering to the ancestors, he can only close the door by lighting a string of cannonballs, anyway, he has nothing to steal here, and the valuable things are in the backyard, so he didn't go to guard the door, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to steal his paintings!
"I'll let you know what it means to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth!"
Dong Ce was furious, put two fingers into his mouth and blew hard, and suddenly Xiaohu ran out.
"Son, go with Lao Tzu to catch the thief!" As Dong Ce spoke, he rushed out of the academy, and Xiaohu, who was used to following Dong Ce every day, immediately followed closely.
On weekdays, he can only run in such a small place as the academy, Xiaohu seems to have already complained, but now that he has rushed out, it is simply a tiger out of the cage, unstoppable, and he has surpassed Dong Ce in an instant.
It's a pity that the tiger is not a dog, Dong Ce wanted it to knock down the thief in front of him, but Xiaohu was stunned and didn't react, and circled around Dong Ce vigorously, wanting to show its agile speed.
At this time, although it was very cold and quiet in Nanshi, there were also a few passers-by, and suddenly saw a tiger circling around a person, and suddenly, a few poor passers-by were frightened to either turn around and flee, or directly faint to the ground.
The thief in front of him didn't look slender, but his feet were extremely fast, and he ran with a painting under his arm, which was not much slower than Dong Ce, who was light, and he glanced back just now, and after finding the little tiger next to Dong Ce, he was so frightened that his feet were faster, which made Dong Ce surprised and annoyed at the same time.
Seeing that you are about to catch up, you can still run away!
"Lao Tzu told you to run!" Dong Ce gritted his teeth, took out a brocade box from his arms, and smashed it towards the painting thief in front of him.
On weekdays, Dong Ce has thrown beef a lot when he fed Xiaohu to exercise Xiaohu's reactions, but he has never tried anything else, and he doesn't know if it will succeed.
But Xiaohu has never been deceived by Dong Ce, and suddenly saw something flying out of Dong Ce's hand, it was really meat, and he ran with four paws, and rushed in that direction.
The person running in front of him had been chased by Dong Ce to a distance of five or six zhang, but because he was afraid of the tiger behind him, he was able to slowly pull this distance away, but this was suddenly hit by an artifact, causing him to look back, and suddenly, he saw a fierce tiger rushing towards him, so frightened that his legs were weak, and he fell directly to the ground, and the painting under his armpit also fell to the ground, and the easel fell apart.
"Humph!" Dong Ce saw that the ankle covered by the thief's hands was obviously sprained, so he slowed down, first bent down and picked up the brocade box that was bitten by it from the little tiger's mouth, and looked at the nine pills inside, then he was relieved, and touched the cute little tiger who seemed to not know why he was deceived, and looked very puzzled, Dong Ce walked in front of the thief.
"Stealing something to the head of this sect master, you are still the first!"
The thief didn't say a word, and didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Rather stubborn!" Dong Ce nodded and said, "I don't know how many catties of meat you have, how many days can I eat this baby?" ”
Hearing this, the thief immediately glanced at Xiaohu in fear, and then moved back.
When he looked up, Dong Ce couldn't help but be stunned, with his eyesight, he knew at a glance that this thief was a woman! And the little face is extremely exquisite, just as he was about to ask, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and after a while, Fang Shuwei appeared beside Dong Ce, in her arms, the extremely human little skin was already grinning at the thief.
"What are you doing here? Don't be afraid to turn the tiger away from the mountain! "Dong Ce didn't have a good airway.
"There's nothing valuable at home, besides, you're not bad at all, it's still important to catch thieves." Fang Shuwei has never been able to get rid of the quality of catching fast, and only thinks about catching thieves.
Dong Ce is not as relieved as Fang Shuwei, although he is very rich, but no matter how rich he is, Lao Tzu can't let others steal it, besides, Lao Tzu's money is in Jinling, this time Zhang Dagui didn't take much, and the Yiyuan goods will not be settled until they are almost sold, and now the money in his hand must be insisted on spending the New Year!
If it is going to be stolen, do you really have to rely on a roast suckling pig to reach the Lantern Festival?
"Then this female thief is handed over to you, and I can't interfere." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he touched Xiaopi, and suddenly, Xiaopi jumped on his shoulder obediently, and then touched Xiaohu again, and then one person and two beasts went back to the academy. (To be continued.) )
