Chapter 40: The thief's heart sits and reaps the benefits

One day, ruthless and proud went out hunting, but by coincidence they happened to meet in the wild. When the enemies met, they were very red-eyed, and each of them was unhappy.

At this time, a flock of geese flew by in the sky, so they were all ready to draw their bows and shoot it down. I only heard the cruel saying: "This wild goose, after it is beaten down for a while, it will have to be boiled and eaten, it is called a delicacy." After speaking, he imagined the scene of eating the wild goose's feet after cooking, and sucked his fingers after eating, looking like he was relishing.

Not to be outdone, Proud sneered: "The goose is good to cook and eat, and the wild goose is still roasted and eaten." After speaking, he imagined barbecuing geese by the fire, and tore off a wild goose's feet and ate it, his mouth was still greasy, and he looked happy.

Ruthlessly looked at Aoxin's fluttering appearance, and the fire of jealousy burned angrily: "It's still delicious!" ”

In a word, the beautiful imagination of Proud Heart was directly punctured and shattered, of course Proud was not convinced, and replied: "It's still delicious to bake." So they quarreled over it, and it was-for-tat, and in the end, neither of them could resist the other, and they had to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who had the final say.

But fate always likes to joke, and they have the same hand shape every time, and they really can't tell the result for a while. It happened that the patient old man was passing by, so he was ruthless and proud and invited him to distinguish right from wrong.

After listening patiently, he smiled and said, "Since you think each of you has a point, let's boil half and bake half! ”

Both ruthless and proud nodded happily in agreement, and thanked the patient old man. When they wanted to find the wild geese again, the wild geese had already flown to the edge of the sky. Angry, they stomped their feet and began to point their spears at each other, and another round of quarrels began, and they almost fought, and finally broke up unhappily and went their separate ways.

They went on their own hunt for their prey, and instead of getting together, they both found a large bird standing in a tree at the same time, and there was a tree between them, and when they moved forward a little, they found each other at the same time. So he immediately took a bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the big bird, and after the two arrows were off the string, they flew towards the location of the big bird almost at the same time, and hit at the same time, because of the excessive penetrating power, the arrows after hitting the big bird flew towards the depths of the jungle.

At this moment, the thief was looking for food in the depths of the jungle, only to hear a "whoosh" sound as if something was flying towards him, so he turned around, not to look at it, but he was startled, only to see a big bird carrying two flying arrows flying in his direction, his subconscious ordered him to run immediately, and he kept nagging in his mouth as he ran: "Uncle Bird, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to chase and kill me?" But no matter how fast he ran, two arrows pierced his clothes from behind, and nailed it to the ground, so that the thief could not run and then bounced back and fell heavily to the ground. Only then did he see that the bird had been hit by two arrows, not that the bird was chasing him with the arrows.

After a false alarm, the thief couldn't help but rejoice, and said to himself: "It's really the world that has fallen into the trap, and since such a big bird flew in front of me to give it to me, I can't imagine that I can get it without any effort." After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing again, so he pulled out the arrow from the wild goose and threw it in the grass beside him.

Just as he was about to walk back, suddenly, he heard footsteps in front of him, and fixed his eyes on the ruthlessness and pride, so the thief heart hid the big bird behind him so that he would not be discovered by them.

Ruthless and Proud came closer to see that it was Thief Heart, so they ran over and asked, "Thief Heart, do you have a bird with two arrows?"

The thief's heart was beating so hard that he didn't dare to speak, for fear that his mouth would collapse, so he just shook his head vigorously, but suddenly his brain turned, and he said firmly and powerfully: "Yes, it flew over my head just now, and it may be over there.

After running a certain distance, Ruthless quickly stopped, because they found that there were blood stains on the ground, so they looked at the thief at the same time, and the thief was startled when he saw them stop, and the big bird in his hand also fell, and when he saw them staring at him, he picked up the big bird and ran away, but he ran there ruthlessly, and saw that Ruthless had already run in front of him and waited for him, and he was startled, and the thief was shocked and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Hand over the big bird in your hand!" Ruthlessness and pride said in unison, and approached this side step by step. Seeing this, the thief seemed a little nervous, but soon a good idea came to his mind, for he knew that ruthlessness and pride had always been at odds, and if he could find a way to stir up trouble from it, the two of them would definitely fight each other over it. Then the thief dared to say to them, "What proof do you have that this great bird is yours?"

"The arrow on the big bird has my name on it," said ruthless and proud.

"That's weird, there's only one arrow on the big bird, how can it be the two of you?" The thief asked rhetorically.

"One arrow, impossible, we hit it at the same time." They both retorted at the same time.

"Don't believe it, you see, it's only an arrow wound." As he spoke, he peeled away the arrow wound and showed it to Ruthless and Proud, and then said: "This means that it is most likely not the big bird you said, otherwise, it belongs to one of you, and as for whose it is, then I don't know, but what is certain is that it does not belong to me." Well, I'll stay here and take care of you first, and then come back to me when you're sure who it is, and then sit down casually and pretending to be on the side. ”

Seeing this, the ruthless and proud thought that the thief was frightened by them. Now, it's time to settle the matter between them, only to see them yelling at each other again.

"Proud, this is the big bird I shot down first." Ruthlessly declared.

"Just kidding, is there a first-come-first-served hunting? This is clearly the big bird I hit, so don't fight. Pride retorted.

Seeing that the quarrel could not be proud, the ruthless moved his hands and feet angrily, and the arrogant was not to be outdone, and returned to the old fist, so they fought for it, hugged each other and rolled on the ground, and the dispute was quite fierce.

When the thief saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, wasn't this the effect he wanted to see? So, he seized the opportunity, picked up the prey, and crept behind a big tree to hide, and then watched the changes, only to see that ruthlessness and pride were fighting each other, and did not notice his existence at all, so he immediately ran away, and left with only billowing dust and smoke behind him.

At this time, ruthlessness and pride were still fighting and entangled, only to see that ruthlessness had the advantage, pressing pride below and holding it down, pride could not move, could only do fearless struggle, suddenly, ruthless looked sideways, and said: "Wrong, what about the thief's heart?" Why is there no shadow left? ”

Proud also scolded, "Damn, this guy must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape!" ”

When he heard this, he trembled with anger and relaxed his vigilance.

Proud took advantage of his inattention, kicked with his foot, kicked ruthless heart far away, and then turned over and got up, putting on a posture to confront ruthless heart. I heard the ruthless heart and immediately roared: "It's all a good thing that you stupid person ruined me." You don't know where the thief's heart has gone? ”

"It's none of my business where he's going, I just need to defeat you and get the big bird." Speaking of this, he was stunned, if the thief's heart ran away, I also asked who wanted the big bird to go, so he looked back, this will be he really stupid, the thief's heart has already escaped, how can you wait for you to get the big bird?

Seeing this, the ruthless scolded even more: "It's all caused by you, a loser, isn't the lesson just now profound enough?" Why didn't you just follow the advice of the patient old man, how nice would it be if you and I would each split half? In this way, we won't end up with a bird's butt that we can't even eat. ”

"You're an afterthought, why didn't you bring it up just now?" Arrogantly sneered.

So, they couldn't help but sigh sadly: "Hey, it's really a battle between cranes and mussels, and the fishermen are profitable!" Then, the two sides looked at each other angrily, and everyone looked at each other unpleasantly, and then their heads were bowed, their mouths were pursed, and they dropped two "hums, hums", and then they each left gloomily.
