Chapter 44: The Harvest

The weather was a little dark, Li Chen quickly chased Wukong along the path, but he just couldn't get up fast, there was no way, the road was too bad.

Li Chen walked with one foot high and one foot low, looking left and right as he walked, his hands still swinging, and his mouth made a strange scream. Walking on the road, you will definitely be arrested and taken to Longfa Hall, but at this moment, it looks really infiltrating. No way, Li Chen wasn't sure if those people were scared away.

It's the first time he's pretending to be a ghost, and the effect is surprisingly good, but it's hard to grasp later, and how long those people will be scared is a question.

Speaking of which, imitating the raw grass, protruding the colorful face, getting the long grass on your head, and tying branches to your body, these methods are only auxiliary. The real hammer is still invulnerable.

When they saw that the knife that was well maintained in their own hands, sharpened quickly and sharpened, but could not leave even a trace on others, they really collapsed.

This truth is not difficult, it is nothing more than sharpening the knife. The knife is blunt, no matter how you cut or draw, it's fine.

Well? You say it's so simple, can you fool people? Of course. Don't talk about ancient times, modern times are fine. In order to show that they are invulnerable, some modern magic sticks will first use a kitchen knife to cut off a piece of paper to prove that the kitchen knife is very sharp.

Then he would slash at himself with a knife, and he would also carefully slash through his body to prove that he had mana and was invulnerable. The principle is the same as the way Li Chen uses it now. Li Chen remembered that he had seen the secret on TV, because the method was not difficult, he remembered it, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

For the sake of realism, Li Chen took two knives, the one in his right hand was sharp, very sharp, and could cut people. I didn't move at all.

The left-handed knife was obtained by using hands and feet. For one thing, he didn't have time to sharpen two knives. Second, he wants to win the trust of people with his right hand. The three, considering that in case they are found out, they must always have a good knife to defend themselves, but fortunately, they did not come in handy.

Of course, he also paid special attention to when he slashed, whether it was a cut or a cut, the left-handed knife was more forceful. The knife in his right hand is very careful, slashing at the body, just chopping. In this case, as long as you don't pull hard, the knife won't actually hurt your body.

(Author's note: Sure that's the case, if you are a knife, unless you are the kind of weapon that sharpens iron like clay, and what kind of hair breaks when you touch it, generally speaking, if you put it on the skin, don't scratch or pull, it won't hurt anyone.) The point is, if you try, you won't be responsible for the injury. )

In fact, those robbers, as long as you look closely, you can also find flaws. A lot of small grass and flowers are broken by a right-handed knife, and a left-handed knife can also be used, but it is more difficult to cut those. And the one who really slashed through the body was the left-handed knife, and the right-handed knife could only slash at the body, and then it would be withdrawn after the cut.

The problem is that the sky is dark, all lit by campfires, and those firelight thieves were taken by Wukong's words and Li Chen's strange dress, so they didn't notice it at all, and then collapsed.

(Finally... Li Chen went on the road and breathed a sigh of relief. Look left again, turn left to go to town, right turn to ferry. Li Chen pretended to sniff hard, turned left in the direction of the town, and continued to wah, wah-wow-wow, chasing after him with his teeth and claws.

After running for a while, Li Chen slowed down a little, (It's strange, no one.) Forget it, good luck. Yes, I hope so. )。

After successfully pretending to be a ghost, Li Chen has been worried about whether those thieves will wake up. Therefore, when it came back to get the gold, it was always done carefully, first observed, and then quickly removed a bag suspected of containing valuables.

He didn't even dare to carry it with him when he opened it to see that it was gold. Then on the way back, until now, he continued to pretend to be a ghost, all worried that those people were lying in the grass, and then seeing that he was not a monster, then he would be in trouble.

Connected to the main road, panting is carefully panting. He pretended to sniff something, just to catch his breath. In fact, he had already made up his mind to turn left, because he judged that if he was alone, Wukong would go to the ferry to find him after he got out of trouble.

But he still had a child in his arms, and he had to settle him first, so he would definitely go to town. Everything is afraid that the above will be found out. In some places, he can do as well as he can, if he can think of it, but he doesn't do it, and finds flaws in others, it is his own death.

didn't expect it, or couldn't do it, but it turned out that he was pretending to be a ghost, and it was his bad luck, so he would find a way when the time came.

(See.) Li Chen ran for a while, tired, and stopped shouting, and finally saw Wukong with a child on his back, (was he really scared away?? )

Along the way, until now, he didn't find half a figure, and Li Chen only said that he was lucky. In fact, he ignored that in modern times, science is prosperous, everyone has received basic education, and there are many people who are very superstitious and will be deceived by some small means. What's more, in the Tang Dynasty ...

He didn't know that the next day, when Wukong reported to the official, the government came to this neighborhood to search and arrest, and found three people who were scared to death, two who were crazy, and a small group of about eight people who were firelight, and so it was disintegrated.

(What should I do?) Approaching Wukong, Li Chen was thinking about how to tell Wukong. Li Chen, who didn't know the situation for a few days, was still thinking about the thieves who had not appeared, but at this time

"Drink, where are the demons?" , with a loud shout, it turned out that Wukong noticed that someone was approaching behind him, turned his head, and immediately shouted angrily.

"I am the Celestial Yaksha, and I have been ordered by Wei Dao to descend to earth and bring to justice those who intend to kill the arhats." , With an idea, Li Chen replied, but his voice was hoarse, and he didn't forget to continue pretending.

"That being the case, follow behind the poor road. Poor Dao will recite the scriptures in the future, and he will surely pray for you." , five feet back? How far is Wuzhang, Li Chen really has no idea about the weights and measures of the ancients, so he turned his head and retreated, far behind Wukong.

Finally, we slowly approached the town, and the lights were still flashing. Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how arrogant those thieves were, they didn't dare to approach, there was some force in the town in order to defend themselves.

"Goku, Goku." , Li Shen finally approached Wukong with confidence, along the way, Li Chen was afraid of wearing a bang, so he didn't talk to him, and now he can rest assured.

"It's you, kid, who almost scared me to death." , Li Chen spoke suddenly, but he was so frightened that Wukong shook his hand and almost threw the child out of the quilt, but he finally recognized Li Chen and didn't panic too much.

"What's the matter, how did you get caught by those thieves?" , Li Chen asked Wukong, how did he get arrested, according to the news from inquiring, Wukong went with an old man, thinking that it was the one who was killed, so how could he be arrested, so upside down?

"Here's how it happened..." , Wukong explained the incident. It turned out that he had just come to the ferry, found the boatman, negotiated the price, and was waiting for Li Chen to come.

Then the old man found him. He said that the young master of his house was taken captive, and the murderer asked their family to pay 150 yuan to ransom him. Their family scraped together a hundred and fifty yuan, which was exchanged for about 24 taels of gold.

The master originally ordered the old man to ransom the people, but the old man was worried that they would regret it, so he took the money and did not let go, and when he saw Wukong, he asked Wukong to help, originally wanting to use the status of a monk to make those murderers fearful.

But I didn't expect that those murderers didn't care about the identity of the bhikshu at all, and as a result, they came to ransom two people, but they couldn't get any better. They were all left behind. If it weren't for the fact that they had to wait for it to get dark and it would be easy to escape, I'm afraid Wukong would have gone to see the Buddha a long time ago.

"Why didn't you report it? My God, Buddha, find an irrelevant outsider, and he will come up with it." , Li Chen patted his forehead, "Customs declaration, they, fire thieves, are not afraid of the government, and they have reported to the official, for fear that the murderer will be killed directly when the time comes."

Hearing Wukong's explanation, Li Chen rolled his eyes, afraid that the murderer would not report to the official, so why not find an outsider, an irrelevant outsider, isn't this forcing them to kill people, if it weren't for the old man who died first, Li Chen suspected that the old man had colluded with the thief to harm Wukong.

In addition to Li Chen's complaints, he also heard a lot of things about this passage. It turned out that there were no gold coins in the Tang Dynasty, but people traded large amounts of money and could use gold. Come to think of it, there is no modern convenient banknote, and using gold is indeed the most convenient way.

Otherwise, in the Han and Tang Dynasties, when there were no silver tickets and it was not convenient to send money, large-scale transactions would cost hundreds of kilograms at every turn. It's just that I don't know where to change it, so I can pay attention to this later.

Also, the bag of gold turned out to be ransom. No wonder it was placed next to what seemed to be the leader. Li Chen didn't know that the bag was filled with gold, he originally thought it was a few pieces of money, but now he just doesn't have Qin Qiong, and he values every penny very much.

Li Chen was entangled in his heart, should he return it? However, if he hadn't saved the child, I am afraid that all the money would have fallen into the hands of the fire thief, and it would have been a thief.

It's not right, how can it be considered a thief in this way, or return it to others when the time comes, and it's great to ask others for some thank-you gifts. Picking up gold can get one percent, this feat of saving people under the knife is not an exaggeration.

What is a firelight thief, a mountain thief, a water thief, he knows, what is a firelight thief? No, because if you light a campfire and ransom a captive is called a firelight thief.

"By the way, what is a flare thief? It sounds like you're jealous of them.'" , If you don't understand, just ask, Li Chen is very conscious, although Wukong replied to him with a look that you are very idiot, but he still answered Li Chen.
