Chapter 17: The King of Thieves
I was born in a beautiful and picturesque countryside, surrounded by mountains, and the endless ridges are full of flowers and plants, all of which are natural greenery.
From my birth to the present, the village has been popular with the festival left by the ancestors, from August 15, children can come out to steal, as long as they are not discovered by adults, what you steal belongs to yourself, but the festival should be carried out at night, not during the day!
also formed a sentence: August 15 indiscriminately ate and steal.
But there are also rules for stealing things, you can't enter other people's homes, you can only go to the field to steal all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and when you steal, you can't spoil other plants, and the method must be spiritual.
It's the day of the festival again, during the day I bet with my partner who has played since I was a child, whoever steals more even if he wins, once found or caught by an adult, this person will lose the qualification to participate in the competition, of course we have to take it seriously, the stakes are very large, and the losing side has to agree to a condition.
We stood on the richest ridges, with our backs to each other, looking at the time on our watches, adjusting our moods and acting as soon as the time came.
Time passed, the sky gradually darkened, the houses in the distance lit up, and the villagers went home one by one.
"Preparation, 1, 2, 3......"
Bang Bang Bang!
My partner didn't wait for me to finish reading, and ran towards the field under the slope behind me, and I immediately jumped into the field at my feet, lying on the root of the yellow paw and motionless, watching if there was anyone around, if no one did anything else, but unlucky, an old woman was weeding at the edge of the field, of course I couldn't move easily, but there were a few cucumbers on the left one meter, green and large, and they looked delicious.
Just when my heart was itching, the old grandmother stood up, slowly and leisurely towards another field, the speed was very slow, I couldn't wait, cautiously reached over, touched the tail leaf of the cucumber, but pressed a branch, the sound of breaking, the old grandmother who was leaving the ridge suddenly turned back, looked at me, observed for a long time, and my nervous heartbeat was about to stop, crawling in the ditch of the field motionless, using the bamboo frame as a cover, plus the covering area of the leaves, completely blocking the grandmother's view, So she couldn't see me, and the old woman turned away from the ridge.
I saw that after the old woman left, she was still cautiously bent over, and her hands quickly pulled down the yellow paws, and stuffed them into the pockets on both sides of her pants, and suddenly felt the weight.
"Catch him!" An adult's voice could be heard in the distance.
I immediately looked back and saw the lights on the mountain, with my companion running ahead, followed by a large group of field owners. Seeing this scene, I quickly ran to the edge of the field, jumped into another field, hid in the field and did not dare to move, at this time the sound of the adults was gone, I ran into the grass in an instant, lay there and looked at the moon in the sky, and ate the unwashed cucumbers, which tasted very delicious.
I hid in the grass until dawn, and when I got home, I realized that my partner had been caught by the adults, and he had to pay the price, so I planted vegetables with the owner of the ridge, but I stood by and watched the excitement as if it was nothing.
After August 15 of this year, I became famous in the village and became a well-deserved king of thieves, and later, every August 15th Mid-Autumn Festival, I took my admirers to steal vegetables and fruits from the whole village.
