The words of "Zuo Biography" are profound, and "Spring and Autumn" is also the book that Guan Sheng read when he scraped his bones to cure poison, and it is also a book that Old Master Zhang has read all his life and is still reading.

So he just swept through all the words he knew in the book at a glance and ten lines, and picked out the words that he couldn't recognize.

Looking back, the brothers and sisters of the Bi family were already asleep in the small bed at this time, and the two children could be regarded as experiencing some joys and sorrows in life today. Looking at the sleeping appearance of the brother and sister, the scalper couldn't help but think of the figure that gradually disappeared by the road, and also remembered that this gray tuberculosis seemed to be called pneumoconiosis in later generations, even in the later generations when the iron bird took off the iron boat and sailed into the sea, it was considered an incurable terminal disease.

With a crackle, a spark burst out from the wick of the oil lamp, and the scalper shook his head not to think about this tragedy, took a small scissor to twist off a section of the wick that had passed the fire, and then closed the "Zuo Chuan" and prepared to go to bed.

But at this moment, I heard the door squeak, but the rooster named the general ran in, and it didn't look at the scalper, but jumped on the bed of the brother and sister when it looked left and right, and used its beak to tease Biyang, and made a low gurgling sound.

The rooster teased twice, and woke up the sleeping Bi Yang, and after the sleeping Bi Yang sat up, he exclaimed: "There is a thief!" ”

"A thief?" The scalper was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think that this rooster could really take care of the house?

Bi Yang nodded dumbly, then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Young master, there is a thief!" ”

The scalper looked at the inner room, and then at the rice grain piled up in the corner of the outer house, and thought that there was a thief who came to steal the mule, and immediately wanted to wake up his father and mother. But just as he was about to get up, he heard the rooster cluck again, and he flew down from the bed, raised his legs, and rushed out of the room.

The scalper thought about it, this rooster warning may not be true, it is better to go and see it first.

He immediately got up, picked up the chopping axe that had been hung by the door, and went out.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the walls of the wooden fence were fine, and the mule shed was fine, but the rooster had already fluttered on the stack of wood on the side of the mule shed, looking at the neighbor next door and clucking.

The scalper took a deep breath of cool air, strengthened his courage, touched it with an axe, bypassed the firewood stack, took a closer look through the moonlight, and saw that there seemed to be a man squatting under the laurel tree in the courtyard of the neighboring house outside the courtyard wall. On closer inspection, the man seemed to be carrying a large cloth bag, which occasionally moved, as if it contained a living thing.

"I'm afraid it's a kidnapper!" The scalper said in his heart, the west of the city is a mixed place, and there are naturally many thieves and thieves, and it is not uncommon to see kidnappers.

When he was about to turn around and call his father, he heard the sound of small footsteps behind him, and when he saw that it was Bi Yang following, he immediately took a few steps back and whispered to Bi Yang: "Quick!" Go and call my father, it's a kidnapper. ”

Bi Yang turned his head to go, when the scalper turned his head to look, he found that the kidnapper suddenly got up and turned out of the neighbor's yard and left, the scalper turned his head to look, and found that Bi Yang had just entered the door, thinking that his father would be delayed for a while when he got up and put on his shoes, so he immediately gritted his teeth and followed.

The crutch walked in small steps with the meat on his back, but the speed was so fast that the scalper was easy to chase all the way. Along the way, I turned left and right, and in a short time, I passed through the streets and alleys in the west of the city, and walked into a woodsman's forest next to the West Water Gate.

Seeing that the kidnapper looked back, he directly put down the cloth bag and opened it, and sure enough, a person was released, and the scalper hid in the distance to look at the meat and clothes, but he also saw that it was a woman.

I saw the abductor tie the woman to the ground on a tree, hehe sneered, and began to speak.

At this time, in the middle of the night, I could hear the kidnapper say: "Little lady, this is the land, look at the feng shui here is good, just send the lady on the road." ”

The voice fell, and then a few whines were heard, and naturally the woman was gagged and couldn't make a sound.

Then I heard the kidnapper say: "Little lady, don't worry, naturally I want to make it clear to you, so that the lady will not be a fool." The villain Ma San was originally a man walking on the river, but now he is entrusted by someone to take the life of his mother, and he washes knives and money thirty times. Listening to the brother who took over the work, the buyer of the money seems to be surnamed Wan, and the lady went to the underworld, and she must explain it to Lord Yama. ”

After saying this, Ma San took out a bull's ear knife from his arms, and pinched the woman's neck and was about to start, but the scalper was also stunned and didn't know how to stop it.

However, after Ma San raised the knife too much, it was as if he had been frozen by a spell, and he did not make a knife for a long time, and the scalper's heart was also hanging in his chest, refusing to fall.

After more than ten breaths, he heard Ma San suddenly smile and said: "The little lady is such a color, it's a pity to kill it, if you let me go, how about being a dewy couple?" ”

The woman whined a few times, thinking that she definitely didn't want to, but Ma San thrust the knife at her feet, and with a lewd smile, she went to tear the woman's clothes. And the scalper also opened his mouth to breathe, putting down the heart hanging in his chest, he was really at a loss in the face of the situation just now.

But at this time, seeing that Ma San wanted the bad guy to be innocent, and the scalper was also tricky, just when he was at a loss, he only heard a stab, Ma San ripped off a piece of the woman's clothes, and slapped the woman casually.

But seeing that the woman's head was slapped and hit the tree, but at this moment, the scalper was very surprised to see the woman's face through the moonlight, which was the Wan Chunnu he had only seen in the morning.

Almost at the moment when he saw Wan Chunnu's face clearly, the scalper felt that his whole body was surging with blood, his heart was pounding, and as soon as his ears were hot, he straightened up and grabbed it in two steps.

Ma San didn't know that someone was coming behind him at this time, and he still smiled lewdly and tore Wan Chunnu's **, and Wan Chunnu was also beaten by the slap just now, and he was no longer able to struggle.

Taking advantage of such a good opportunity, the scalper took two steps in three steps, holding a long-handled wood-splitting axe in both hands, and pounced on Ma San's back and hit the back of the head with a force to split Huashan.

You must know that scalpers chopping firewood is not to subsidize the family, but a kind of exercise of arm strength and eyesight, but the secret skill of the iron arm Zhou Tong himself, although it has only been practiced for a few months, it should not be underestimated.

However, Ma San is a thief walking on the river after all, when the scalper raised the axe to chop, the wind brought out by the axe actually made him hear, and hurriedly avoided it, and the axe blade of the scalper finally deviated a little and split on Ma San's right shoulder.

Click! There was a sound of bone cracking from Ma San's right shoulder, and although the ox's wood-splitting axe was sharp, it was made of wrought iron after all, and it only entered the flesh, but it was relying on the momentum to split Ma San's shoulder bone.

Ma San's reaction was not slow, and after the axe, he also knew how to roll and unload the force, and moved sideways for more than a zhang, and then he heard him snort, got up and turned his head and ran.

Naturally, the scalper couldn't let him run away, and hurriedly caught up. After all, Ma San is an adult, and he is running for his life, and his steps are very large, but after running out of more than 100 zhang, he suddenly fell under his feet, and then struggled to get up, turned around and threw himself into the Benhe River in Xishuimen.

When the scalper chased to the river, he only saw the rippling water in the river, and Ma San's figure was gone.
