Chapter 474: Ambush

"But it always only appears in the dead of night, so I can't find it during ......the day when I try to play with it," said the little girl, cowardly, "and it's so beautiful, I'd love to touch its feathers......"

"What does that bird look like?" Daoist Tian intended to obtain more detailed information in order to find the target accurately.

"Because it's been flying in the sky, I haven't looked very closely. But I remember it was emerald green, and it looked like the expensive jewelry sold in those shops, and it was very beautiful......"

As she spoke, the little girl's eyes flashed with longing, and she obviously liked it very much.

"Such a spiritual bird knows how to avoid the eyes of the people, only haunts in the middle of the night, and can tease children......"

With these words in mind, Daoist Tian thought to himself: "Presumably, even if it is not a bird demon, it is not far off." ”

Presumably, the theft case of the Wang family is related to this bird.

Now is the time to investigate this bird as a target.

Thinking of this, he finally felt that the current investigation had some clues, and he felt a little comforted in his heart, and unceremoniously reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and said approvingly: "You have done a good job." ”

The boy was a little angry at his behavior of treating himself as an ignorant child, but before he could resist, he saw that the Taoist priest in front of him handed him a bag of food, and after being stunned, he quickly accepted it, and after weighing the weight, he felt good in his heart, where could he take care of anything else, and he ignored the offense of Daoist Tian for the time being.

"These should be regarded as a reward for your hard work, give your younger brothers and sisters something to eat, be careful about stealing sacrifices, it's best not to do it again, if you are caught, maybe people will blame the source of the disaster on your anger Dragon Lord, and then your life will be difficult to protect."

Daoist Tian admonished with some emotion, probably thinking of his own experience when he was a child. I can vaguely recall that before he met the master and was adopted, he also wandered and ate hundreds of meals for a long time, and now in retrospect, he is similar to these children.

In this comparison, I can be regarded as lucky, and I hope that these children may meet relatives who are willing to accept them in the future......

The boy obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, but he was a little impatient with his preaching, and pouted: "Of course I understand these things, I don't need you to say more!" ”

If you weren't really hungry, how could you risk stealing the offerings in the temple?

Daoist Tian then asked the girl about the time and place of the bird's appearance.

The girl thought for a moment and whispered, "It's over there, but you don't see it every night, sometimes two days and sometimes three days, speaking of which, the last time the bird appeared was a few days ago, maybe I can see it tonight!" ”

"Tonight?"

This time made Daoist Tian a little surprised, and what surprised him even more was that the direction the girl was pointing made him vaguely feel a little familiar.

"...... in that direction"

While he was pondering, the girl suddenly raised her head timidly and glanced at him, and then lowered her head in some fear, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are you asking these to catch that beautiful bird?" ”

"Can you not hurt it...... It didn't do anything bad, and it should be a good boy......"

Daoist Tian slowly retracted his gaze, touched her hair as if comfortingly, and replied, "Don't worry, if it's a good child, I won't hurt it." ”

When he returned to Wenfu a moment later to deliver the news, everyone couldn't help but lift their spirits.

After all, there have been repeated setbacks in the past few days, and even the disaster relief mission sent by the king has to be delayed because of the intervention of the government, which is very irritating.

This time I got accurate news, such as Yizimei and other people in the rivers and lakes who were already eager to make a big fuss, and at this time, they immediately began to gear up, preparing to catch the thief and teach him a good lesson, of course, that Lord Wang and the county order were also among the targets of revenge.

Yizimei jumped up first, with a menacing look: "When this matter is over, I must enter that Wang's house, hang that Wang master and whip him a few times, and those officials are also ......"

"I think I dare to bully people if I wear a layer of official skin, and I want them to look good when the time comes!"

Lu Rou next to him rarely agreed with him, got up and patted him on the shoulder with a serious face, and said arrogantly: "Count me in!" I'll have to whip a few more whips to get a good time! ”

However, the opportunity to wait for the queen of the autumn to settle accounts is obviously a little far away, in short, this thief must be caught now.

Because the clue was finally found this time, basically everyone went out to ambush near the granary of the Wang family, waiting for the other party to appear.

Waiting for late at night is the time to actually get started.

……

At night, the Wang family's granary was still brightly lit, and the guards hired by the Wang family outside the door were holding torches high and swords at their waists, guarding the boundaries of this place. Their job is to make sure that no thieves can sneak into the shadows, and that the food inside is safe.

However, even though this is the case, in fact, because the murderer Wen Jia in the mouth of the immortal master has fallen, in their opinion, the matter of the thief should have been almost resolved, so naturally they are a little slack, and the situation of the guards is not as strict as a few days ago.

In just such a moment, from the condescending situation on the nearby rooftop, you can clearly see that several guards guarding the gate are chatting, and you can even see that there are people drinking and fighting in the shadows of the lights, making noise, not at all like they are guarding the granary.

With such a casual appearance, it is no wonder that thefts occur frequently.

After casting a contemptuous look at these guys, Ichimei and the others officially hid in a nearby house, hiding their figures through the shadows of the moonlight, quietly waiting for the arrival of their targets.

However, because they already knew in advance that the Wang family's granary would not be stolen every night, they were all prepared for no harvest tonight before they ambushed here. Anyway, as long as the other party shows up in the next few days, then all the efforts will be enough in return.

"Then again, if we really catch that bird, are we going to send it to the people who sent it to the government to change the family?"

I don't know who brought up this question first, but it made everyone stunned, after all, they hadn't thought about this question before.
