After the ambition and ruthlessness left, the thief and the greedy were left lazily lying on the boat, bored to the extreme, waiting for them to return. After a while, the thief began to complain impatiently: "Why hasn't it come out for so long!" Isn't it going to be some kind of trouble? ”

Greedily and listlessly replied, "Whatever! If you should come, you will always come, and it is better if you don't come back, so we will divide this bag of gold equally, and it is not better to divide it in two less. ”

Greed is just such a casual statement, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has no intention. The thief's heart casually glanced at the bag of gold, and a thought suddenly came to his heart: It would be nice if all this gold was mine! Strange to say, if this bag of gold is not mentioned by greed, the thief may not dare to think badly, but once there is selfishness in the mind, evil thoughts will grow wildly.

Should we take the opportunity to take it for ourselves? The thief's heart began to struggle and struggle, and he began to become restless. However, his lust eventually prevailed over reason: why don't I put aside my greed, and then take these gold and silver treasures and fly away, to a place that no one knows, and live a fairy-like leisurely life. And just at this moment, the greedy stomach began to lose its temper and gurgle.

Greed immediately made up his mind, seized the opportunity and said to greed: "Hey, if we continue like this, we will all starve to death, greed, you go to the mountains and pick some fruit to eat." ”

"Why don't you want me to go yourself? I'm so hungry that I can't walk. Greedy retorted.

The thief knows the weakness of greed, and without a little temptation, it will certainly not work. So, he had an idea and said to greed: "Otherwise, I didn't earn four gold heart coins just now, now I'll give you half of it, and then you can go and pick some fruit to eat."

Greedy hesitated and said, "If you take all the treasure away while I'm leaving, what can I do to the ambitions?" ”

"Cut, it's not that you don't know your ambition and ruthless character, if I dare to betray them like this, then it's no wonder you won't kill me. Alas, forget it, since you can't trust me, then you give me two gold heart coins and I'll go pick the fruit, we can't starve to death here! The thief tentatively said.

Greedy thought about it, looked at the two gold heart coins in the thief's hand, and finally couldn't resist the temptation. "Okay, just trust you this time, give me the gold heart coin first, so as not to wait for you to repay the debt."

"Take it, go and come back quickly, I'm starving." Greed turned back and walked towards the woods step by step.

The thief's heart is broken, and he rejoices in the plan that is about to succeed. In order to confuse the illusion, the thief pretended to lie down and rest again, but what he never expected was that he was so tired that he actually fell asleep. Moreover, he actually had a dream, in which he took the gold and silver treasures he had obtained, and went to a restaurant to eat and drink, surrounded by countless beautiful women, pouring wine and food for him, which made him very happy.

At this time, the sun's rays shone on a sword inserted on the shore, and after reflection, the focus fell on the hemp rope that tied the boat, and gradually, the hemp rope was burned off one by one, and finally, the boat drifted on the river under the action of the current, and the thief who was sleeping was not aware of it.

At this time, Ambition and Ruthless came back with the sword of righteousness, and when they saw the boat drifting on the river, they felt that something was wrong, and thought: Could it be that the thief and the greedy want to keep all the treasure for themselves. However, what struck him as strange was that there was no shadow of thieves and greed on board. So, he could only try to shout at the other side of the ship: "Thief, greedy." ”

As for greed, because he found a red and sweet fruit in the forest, he picked and ate it at the same time, not knowing what had happened. When he heard ambition calling out to him, he immediately ran out of the woods.

"Here it is! Here it is! What's the matter? As for being so loud and noisy? Greedy asked casually.

This angered the ambition, and he angrily asked, "How can you be reckless, thief?" ”

"Isn't it on the boat?" Greed replied casually, and when he saw that the boat on the shore was gone, he was so frightened that he threw all the fruit in his hand on the ground. "What about the ship? Where did it go. He started to get nervous.

"Stupid, on the river! Didn't you both look good? Why did you just run away? Ambition rebuked.

"It's been a long time since you've eaten, I want to pick some fruit and wait for you to come back to satisfy your hunger." Greed justified.

"Honestly, did the thief tell you to go?" Ambition asked sternly.

"Yes." Greed has to admit.

"Stupid, you have fallen for his trick of dividing the tiger from the mountain, and he wants to break you up and swallow all the treasures to himself." Ambition explained.

"What about that," Greed began to panic, and then shouted to the other side of the boat, "Thief Heart, Thief Heart, give me back my gold." ”

Ambition and ruthlessness also shouted, "Thief Heart...", the thief heard the shout in the haze, woke up suddenly, got up and saw that the boat was already drifting on the river, followed the reputation, only to see the ambition They were waving to him one by one, and the ambition saw that the thief was still on the boat, so he pulled out his arrow and aimed at him, and said threateningly: "Thief Heart, hurry up and row the boat back for me, or you will wait to die." ”

Seeing this, the thief couldn't help but be a little flustered, he observed his surroundings, and now he was not far from the other side. He began to weigh in his heart: if I were to go back now, Ambition might really think that I wanted to take the treasure for myself, and then they would definitely beat me up, and it would be impossible to divide the treasure equally. Now, instead of doing any other thing, I might as well take a bold adventure, and if I can reach the other shore safely, I will be able to fly away with all this treasure and enjoy all the glory and riches from now on. He bit his lip and made up his mind to take a risk! So, he picked up his oars and rowed desperately to the other side.

Seeing that the thief wanted to escape, Ambition immediately aimed the arrow at him, and then angrily shot it, but unfortunately the distance was too far away, and the arrow shot by Ambition did not hit, but the arrow flew over the thief's heart and shot at the tree on the opposite bank.

By this time, the thief had reached the other side, and he took up the treasure and ran into the depths of the woods, and when Ambition wanted to shoot at him again, the thief had already hidden behind the woods.

Seeing this, Ambition was so angry that he stomped his foot and slammed the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground. But ambition also reacted quickly, and ordered the greedy and ruthless: "Hurry, hurry up and cut down bamboo to build a bamboo raft, and don't let the thief's heart run away." And just like that, they got into action.

When the thief came to the forest, he immediately tied the treasure and put it on his horse, and then rode away at a gallop.
