Chapter 21: Mudding the Waters
Hou Debao saw that he finally provoked this kid's interest, and immediately became proud,
"Hey, hey! Now I know that your master and I are amazing! ”
After that, he touched a fire fold on his own and came out, shaking it in the wind,
"Go find something and put it on!"
The firewood room also stored sundries, and the little beggar found a broken lampshade on the lantern light, in which only a little lamp oil remained, and after the lamp was lit, the swaying flames were so small that people did not dare to gasp.
Hou Debao took advantage of that little light, opened one eye and closed the other, pointed the corner of the box in front of his eyes, and sure enough, he found the subtle texture on it.
These patterns are carved so thin and light, that some people find that they only regard it as the natural texture of wood, but they don't know that it is the secret point.
Hou Debao stretched out two fingers on his left and right hands to pinch the two corners of the box, and gently twisted it left and right, and the two corners of the box clicked, bounced out, turned around, and clicked and stuck.
This compartment and five fingers opened, up and down grasped left and right, the texture of the upper side of the alignment, clicked and stuck, so left and right up and down, the four corners were rotated respectively, after the pattern on the four sides was aligned up and down, Hou Debao curved his fingers in the middle of the box and knocked lightly,
"Click......"
There was a bulge in the middle, and Hou Debao smiled at the little beggar who was staring wide-eyed,
"This thing needs to be opened step by step like this, if you make a mistake, the potion hidden in it will immediately flow out and destroy the thing!"
He stretched out his hands and picked up the protruding piece of wood from the inside, and immediately separated on all sides like flowers, and when they looked down, it was empty!
"Empty ......"
The little beggar and Hou Debao's eyes widened, and the little beggar looked up at Hou Debao,
"Dead old ghost, you trick me!"
Hou Debao was stunned, raised his hand and picked his scalp,
"Can't! That kid sleeps in his arms, so tightly guarded, it's actually empty! ”
The little beggar squinted at him,
"You're not going to get an empty box to trick me, are you?"
Hou Debao qidao,
"! Grandpa, although I was born as a thief, I rely on my ability to eat, and I will never do that trick and abduction! ”
The little beggar snorted a few times in his nose,
"Maybe there are things in people's homes, so you must be looking at the things and hiding them privately!"
Hou Debao was furious when he heard this,
"Nonsense! I, Hou Debao, have never seen any treasures in my life, and it's rare for him to be a thing! ”
The little beggar still didn't believe it, and squinted at him,
"If you take it, you take it, the man's husband dares to be bold, he is the thief who picks the lock and breaks into the house, and it is your duty to be a thief when you see a good thing, what kind of sanctimoniousness!"
Hou Debao was so angry that his forehead was bursting, and he almost hit the roof of the firewood house when he jumped three feet high.
"Children don't understand don't talk nonsense, grandpa I am what kind of person, the famous monkey on the top of the rivers and lakes, the people in the rivers and lakes know my rules, it is not a valuable thing, grandpa will not even lift his eyelids, the kid in the house is a child of a family walking outside to do things, what good things can be put on the body, the left and right are just the transmission of the family!"
He originally thought that he had stolen it and returned it to this stinky boy, but he didn't expect it to be empty, could it be that the kid in the house knew that someone was going to steal it, and deliberately brought an empty one to deceive people?
Hou Debao guessed half right, but it was not the empty box that Fang Kui made, but the group of people who Fang Hou Ye took precautions, but he didn't expect to meet such a pair of beggars and start with his thoughts.
"Sneer......"
The little beggar was lazy to argue with him, just sneered, and the disdain and contempt on his face made Hou Debao grit his teeth in anger, and he almost swore to the sky,
"I never touched his box!"
The little beggar looked up to the sky and snorted a haha,
"Haha...... You haven't touched your own know, but we talked about it first, you have to steal other people's important things, and now you steal an empty box and come back, are you embarrassed to ask me to apprentice? You don't know how to learn your own art, don't blame me! ”
After that, he threw the box away, and threw himself on the straw in the past.
"Master is going to sleep! Early tomorrow morning, you take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, less pestering me! ”
At that moment, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was about to sleep, and Hou Debao's apprentice who was willing to get his hands slipped away like this, and stomped his feet at the moment,
"I'll take a look again, I'm going to get you something back!"
I blew out the lamp at the moment, turned around and went out again!
The little beggar sneered when he heard this, and tightened his torn clothes with his hands on his chest, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Tomorrow morning, the master will be able to dump this old guy and go freely!
When he closed his eyes and fell asleep again, he heard a loud bang, and the little beggar woke up suddenly, lifted the straw and went to the window to look.
Could it be that the old ghost has been discovered?
At first, he couldn't see this place, but when the jingle bell outside became more and more popular, someone rushed into the courtyard, only to see the black shadow flashing in the courtyard again and again, and there was a bright knife light flashing under the dim light under the corridor, and I couldn't see how many people fought.
The little beggar was hidden in the dark, hearing the sound of weapons clashing, someone snorted, and from time to time there was a bloody breath drifting along the wind, the little beggar stared wide and looked out, but only to see that in the light of the knife, many figures flickered, and I don't know which one is a dead old ghost?
My heart couldn't help jumping, remembering that I picked him up in the snow first,
The dead old ghost has great kung fu on his lips, but the kung fu on his hands is sparse?
Although he annoyed that the old ghost haunted him every day, he was not the ruthless person after all, and thought to himself,
"That dead old ghost is very powerful, if he can jump out of the encirclement of a few people, those people who escape will not be able to catch up with him!"
I thought that the person who was surrounded was Hou Debao, and I couldn't help but quietly hope that he could run out!
It's just that the person who was surrounded seemed to be not good at kung fu, and the left and right rushed back by someone, and the little beggar couldn't help but pat his head anxiously when he saw it in the firewood room.
"Dead old ghost, isn't it light to be alone in the world, how can you not escape even after half a cup of tea!"
He was in such a hurry that he couldn't do it, but he heard someone behind him laughing,
"Grandpa's light work is indeed unique in the world, that seems to be a fool who is surrounded, and if he delays his life, he will be here!"
The little beggar was startled, turned around, borrowed the faint light from outside, and looked, who else was not a dead old ghost?
I couldn't help but exclaim,
"You...... You...... You weren't cut? ”
Hou Debao hurriedly shushed at him,
"Don't make a sound, follow me!"
The man reached out and lifted the little beggar's collar, and went out of the broken window at the back of the end, and lifted himself up and led him out of the inn into the wilderness.
The little beggar was caught off guard and was poured a stomach of cold wind by him, Hou Debao stopped in a dense forest to take a look, then took the little beggar to a leeward place, and threw him to the ground.
"I can only spend the night here tonight, those stupid thieves are too bad to start, and we have to escape!"
When the gang found that a thief had entered the inn, they would search for it, and if they found it in the firewood house, they and the little beggar would be exposed.
The little beggar got up from the ground, looked around, found a big stone and shrank down to avoid the wind, and scolded angrily,
"Dead old ghost, they all say that you are not good at learning, and you dare to provoke people and tiger whiskers, in vain, I will follow you to drink wind and eat snow in this field in the middle of the night!"
Hou Debao didn't think that he had internal strength to protect his body, but when he saw the little beggar shivering from the cold there, he couldn't help but feel pitiful, so he took off his clothes and threw them on him.
"I didn't provoke those people...... Let's make do for the night! Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, let's go into town when it gets dark! ”
The little beggar couldn't sleep at this time, so he could only wrap his clothes and ask,
"Who are the people in that courtyard?"
Hou Debao came over and sat down next to him and said,
"I see that the gang is coming for this group of people, I was going to return the things to the boys in the house, but as soon as I touched the roof, someone came......
Hou Debao came out with the box angry and angry, and thought to himself,
The boy kept the empty box so tightly that he must have wanted to cover it up, and it became more and more sure that he had something good, but where did he put it?
Let's put the box back silently, and then follow them for a few days, and I can always let grandpa find traces!
When he returned to the top of the room, he saw two dark shadows flashing into the room, and he hurriedly turned down, and as soon as he reached the window, he heard the breathing in the room be disturbed, and the strong wind in it sounded, and he obviously moved his hands.
At the moment, Hehe smiled and stood outside, and the two people who entered the room were obviously worse in kung fu, but the kung fu of a pillar of incense was shouting.
"The wind is tight, pull it!"
The car broke through the window lattice and went outside the yard, Hou Debao saw the opportunity to throw the box on one of them, and screamed in a sharp voice,
"The third child, the things are in hand, you go first and I'll break it later!"
The black shadow was slightly stunned, and when he saw a black thing thrown at him, he was a little unable to react for a while, but he didn't dare to pick it up, but Fang Kui recognized it as his own box when he saw it!
Good thief!
They woke up after only a few breaths into the house, and subconsciously touched it in their arms, and the box was gone!
I thought that only these two entered the house, but I didn't expect that there was a third one, and I could quietly touch things from his arms, this is afraid that he is a master!
When Fang Kui saw the box, he immediately rubbed his body and wanted to grab it, although Fang Hou Ye said that he could abandon the box when he was in crisis, but now is not the time.
The two thieves saw Fang Kui's figure move, only when this accomplice who came out of nowhere really succeeded, while secretly scolding in his heart,
"Idiot, I don't know how to run when I get something, throw it over and do it!"
Standing up on tiptoe and reaching out to grab it, they fought two to one, one grabbed the box and the other cut people, Fang Yang saw that his younger brother was in danger on the side, and naturally the tip of the knife swung up, and for a while, the four of them were in a ball in the air.
Hou Debao mixed the water and smiled proudly,
"The second and third children, you take it first, and I'll go!"
I didn't care about the two people scolding their mothers in their hearts, the people had already flashed outside the courtyard, and the two of them were so angry that a mouthful of blood was suffocated in their chests, and they wanted to run along and read that the box had not yet arrived, so they could only hate to fight with the Fang Kui brothers.
