Shi Suo looked at the unfamiliar female books on the paper, and said while pondering: "Maybe the 'secret on the treasure knife' that the two robbers are looking for is on this piece of paper." ”

"Huh?" Ping Damin was taken aback, tilted his head and thought about it, "What you said may be reasonable, that old Taoist at that time hid this piece of paper very well, but I was confused, and I never knew what it was for." Later, I couldn't find it myself, but I had a needle. By the way, I met a young couple who were very knowledgeable. They exposed me, but they also saved me. ”

"Of course there is learning, we are good friends."

"Really? That's a coincidence. ”

"Are you weird?" Outside the door, Su Xiaotong's voice was heard. As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Su Xiaotong walked in with a straw basket on his back, in the past two days, this young man was no longer trapped in his own compound, and soaked with his friends in the same village day and night, his personality gradually became cheerful, and he was happy all day long. After he entered the door, he looked at Ping Damin and the little mouse, and swallowed back the second half of his words, "Oh, there are guests." ”

"What strange are you talking about?" Xiao Wu asked.

Su Xiaotong put down the grass basket, which was half a basket of herbs picked, and he said to Shi Suo and the others a little mysteriously: "Just now, I was walking on the road, and I met two passers-by, they asked me for directions, and after asking the way, they asked me if there were any people in the village?" I said, of course there are people, which family in the village has guests, it is also a common thing, and there have been many people recently, who knows who you are asking? Then they asked, "Have there been any people who have come in and been injured?" I said, of course, there are some injured, and there are many injuries in the village now. You say, are these two people asking strange questions? ”

When Xiao Wu heard this, he became nervous, "What about these two people?" ”

"Let's go."

Shi Suo said, "Quick, send someone to find these two people, don't let them escape." ”

When Su Xiaotong heard this, he felt that the matter was a little serious, and asked uneasily: "Am I wrong?" ”

"Little boy, these two guys are very suspicious, you should stabilize them, and then find a way to come back and report them, and then everyone will go and catch them together. Such sneaky guys are mostly bad people, and there are always accidents in the village these days, so they shouldn't be careless. Xiao Wu reproached.

Ping Damin and the little mouse had uneasy looks on their faces, and asked Su Xiaotong: "Little brother, what do these two people who asked you look like?" ”

"Well......" Su Xiaotong recalled, "He is not tall, one has double eyeballs, and the other has a mustache." The face is not good, and the head of the thief is the brain. ”

"Oh no, it's the two of them. The gang of robbers who captured us, they smelled the wind and came to the village. ”

Su Xiaotong had a look of regret on his face, "Oh, I didn't think about it that much, blame me." ”

"Okay, okay," Shi Suo smiled, "I guess if the two of them are thieves, they are not willing to leave empty-handed, just like a cat smelling fishy, where will they be willing to leave?" We can figure it out again. ”

Although everyone shook their heads at Su Xiaotong's naivety, he was only a half-grown child after all, and he had been pampered since he was a child, and his ability to judge things was weak, so he was no longer harsh, and he was busy sending people outside to investigate, and after looking for something, he found nothing.

Shi Suo said: "Wild cats love to steal at night, let's set up an ambush tonight, and put up covers in the village and outside the village to see if the thieves and cats come." ”

As soon as they heard this, the young people became excited, and Su Xiaotong also said with their hands: "I will also participate, I have to catch these two guys." ”

According to the instructions of the little mouse, when the thief wants to steal, he generally has to step on the point first, and sometimes in order to be cautious, he has to step on it once or twice, or even two or three times, and then hide and observe, to make sure that there is no danger, and then he will do it. Unless it is an emergency, it is generally not reckless to move blindly. Therefore, Cheng Dashan and Xiao Wu brought a basin of bloody dirty clothes in the afternoon and went to the stream to wash. I want to lure the bandits into appearing.

However, until the clothes were washed and dried, no suspicious signs were found, and Cheng Dashan muttered, "Where is the thief?" Maybe Su Xiaotong was wrong. ”

At night, the moon climbed up the willow tops.

In the osmanthus forest outside the village, there are dark sentinels, some of the young people climb the treetops, some lie in ambush in the mountain pass, and some hide in the village, a pair of vigilant eyes, the village and the outside of the village, are closely watched.

Su Xiaotong followed Shi Suo, lying behind a big laurel tree on the side of the road outside the village, looking at the black mountain peaks in the distance, his eyes were wide open, for fear of missing a little information. Shi Suo said: "You will look at your eyes sour, but when there is a real situation, you can't see clearly." Surveillance in the dark is mainly to see if there is anything moving. We all know that wolves, insects, tigers and leopards have sharp eyes, but in fact, they rely on catching moving shadows, and if you don't move, they often won't notice. ”

"Hmm."

Shi Suo remembered one thing, "Your own family, Su Xiaowu, hasn't you come back yet?" ”

"No, the little fifth brother has not lived in the village since he was a child, although I have no friendship with him, this time he came with Uncle Tan, I guess my father also looked at Uncle Tan's face, so he looked up to him."

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Cheng Dashan walked over from behind, Su Xiaotong turned his head and said, "Dashan, why did you come here?" ”

The ambush location of Cheng Dashan was supposed to be outside the wall of the village, but this young man lay on his stomach for a long time and saw no movement, and was a little anxious, so he walked to the front, he walked to Shi Suo and Xiaotong, grinned, "Hehe, the two hairy thieves ......" Halfway through the words, Su Xiaotong pulled him violently and pointed forward with his hand.

Shi Suo was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Dashan's self-assertion and leaving his post without authorization, but these young people were just some enthusiastic peasants who had no sense of discipline, and they had no experience in unified action, and they were not good at asking for anything in the depths, not to mention that they were like this before, and now Cheng Dashan is the former self. He waved his hand, and was about to let Cheng Dashan hide by his side, when he saw Su Xiaotong's expression was different, he hurriedly stepped forward and watched.

The moon hung high in the sky, the distant mountains and near the trees, as if draped in a hazy white veil, from the mountain pass through the road, you can see clearly, only to see two black shadows, gently walked over, while walking, while looking left and right. Looking at their ghostly appearances, the people in ambush immediately concluded that they were thieves.

Cheng Dashan and Su Xiaotong were nervous, but Shi Suo felt a little strange in his heart, on the edge of the woods, a sentry was originally arranged on a big laurel tree, but these two black shadows came over, why didn't the sentry send a signal? Is it like a mountain to get off the job? Or asleep?

"Crickets," at last, a sound of insects came, and it was a message from the sentry in the big tree. Shi Suo couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, the black shadows were almost approaching, and the outpost had just signaled, what was the use?

The black shadow is getting closer and closer, and the sound of "crickets and crickets" is still ringing, and Shi Suo is annoyed in his heart, how can there be such a signal? If you keep screaming, you will find out that the cry of the "bug" is fake. (To be continued.) )
