Chapter 020: The Beggar and the Female Thief
Fifty miles south of the ancient city of Nanyue, there is an unnamed mountain about 1,000 zhang high, more than 10,000 zhang long, and about 5,000 zhang wide. Nameless mountain, in the shape of "concave", sitting in the south and facing north, steep and steep, strange rocks. The ancient trees in the mountains are towering to the sky, green all the year round, strange flowers and plants, tulips at four o'clock, famous for the beautiful scenery, but there are often fierce birds and beasts infested, for this reason the local people dare not venture into the mountains, of course, there are also some brave hunters who risk their lives to go into the mountains to hunt, in order to be able to arrest some fierce birds and beasts to sell at a high price in the market of the ancient city of Nanyue.
In the middle of the nameless mountain, there are five caves of different sizes and heights, the cave in the middle is the largest and tallest, about ten zhang wide and more than ten zhang high, and the other four caves are also four or five zhang wide and high. In the deep mountains and old forests, there is an old Taoist priest who has been cultivating here for many years, and he lives in these caves. After the great disaster and war two years ago, the nameless mountain is still standing and unharmed, so the old Taoist priest gave him a majestic name, naming this nameless mountain "Six Realms Mountain".
Since the golden-robed Taoist priest fought with the Five Realms, his vitality was greatly damaged, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, and the peachwood staff in his hand had to be abandoned on the open battlefield more than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang City. When he used the Escape Spell to escape back to the ancient city of Nanyue, because he did not have enough spiritual power to maintain the appearance of a golden-robed Taoist priest, he turned into a ragged, bloody, wounded, and defenseless little beggar in the blink of an eye.
The ancient city of Nanyue, located in the southeast of the Central Plains, belongs to the coastal area, is the capital of the ancient kingdom of Nanyue more than 3,000 years BC, the climate is mild, the temperature difference is not large throughout the year, and it is very suitable for living. After the catastrophe and war, it recovered quickly, and its economic prosperity was not inferior to that of the capitals of the five Central Plains. The little beggar came to the ancient city of Nanyue with a wooden cane in his hand. The first thing that caught his eye was a straight blue brick avenue. On both sides of the avenue, there are still taverns, snack bars, teahouses, etc. Walking about 100 zhang forward, this is the bazaar of the ancient city of Nanyue. There are many merchants from all over the country, and there are all kinds of hawkers on the stalls, including farmers selling vegetables, livestock farmers selling poultry, and scholars selling calligraphy and paintings. The little beggar had no interest in all this, and the most important thing for him at the moment was to find a place to eat and drink, replenish his strength, and find a place to rest, so that he could use the Escape Spell to cross the nameless mountain and return to his master. At this time, he limped down the streets of the ancient city of Nanyue, and suddenly, he sat down weakly on the ground. When the passers-by on the road saw him like this, they ignored him, because they had long been accustomed to it. The little beggar struggled to get up, and used all his strength to walk to the door of a restaurant next to him called "Chunfeng Lou". When he came to this point, he sat down on the ground due to physical exhaustion, and the shopkeeper in the restaurant saw this, and rushed forward to drive him away.
"Come here again, eat and drink!
The shopkeeper waved his hand and drove away.
"I'm here to drink wine and eat meat. The little beggar said weakly. I saw that the shopkeeper looked at the little beggar a few times, and then scolded in a mocking tone: "Look at your tattered appearance, you have to beg on the street every day, where do you get the silver taels to drink wine and eat meat? I tell you, if you don't leave, be careful that I will drive you away with a broom!" The little beggar didn't say anything after hearing this, but slowly took out a piece of silver from his bosom and showed it to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw the little beggar holding a silver ingot in his hand, he immediately smiled, and then stepped forward to help him sit on the table in a corner.
"This guest officer, what do you want to eat?" said the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and his attitude was simply different from his previous attitude. The little beggar did not blame him, but laid the ingot on the table, and said slowly, "Bring me two plates of carp, two plates of chicken, two plates of mutton, a plate of pork, and a plate of peanuts, and two jugs of fine wine." ”
"This guest officer, can you order so many drinks and dishes by yourself?" said the shopkeeper with a suspicious look at the little beggar. It just so happened that the shopkeeper of the restaurant walked past them, and when he heard the words of the shopkeeper, he immediately reprimanded him: "What does it have to do with you how many drinks and dishes the guest order from the guests? After the shopkeeper left, the shopkeeper said to the little beggar: "I'm sorry, this shopkeeper is new and doesn't know the rules, don't take it to heart." The little beggar just said, "I'm hungry and thirsty now." After hearing this, the shopkeeper of the restaurant smiled and said, "Hehe, I understand." I'll bring you two jugs of fine wine at once, please wait a moment!" the shopkeeper said, turned around and left. After a while, the food and wine were served.
"This guest officer, this is the wine and food you ordered, please enjoy!" said the shopkeeper with a smile, the little beggar did not pay attention to him, but drank and ate meat in a big gulp, and instantly swept away the wine and food on the table, and the other guests next to him were stunned. When the little beggar had eaten and drunk, he had some strength in his body, so he found a hotel to rest so that he could travel the next day.
At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the moonlight was bright, the breeze blew Buddha, and the branches and leaves swayed lightly, which was the dead of night, and the little beggar was lying on the bed ** in the guest room of the hotel at this time. Suddenly, a bamboo pipe burst through the window, and a puff of white smoke erupted from it, quickly filling the room. When he smelled the irritating smell of white smoke, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, and then secretly forced out the white smoke in his mouth and nose, and pretended to be asleep, secretly guarding against the enemy's every move. Sure enough, in less than a moment, a thief dressed in black and covered with a black cloth gently pushed open the door of the guest room, and then crept in. This thief is agile and light, like a swallow, and deserves to be a good material for a thief. When the thief entered the room, he turned and closed the door gently. She walked up to the little beggar, and with the help of the moonlight outside the window, she could easily see the little beggar's face. I saw that although the little beggar was in rags, his eyebrows were clear, and his eyes revealed a trace of charm.
"Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but if you sneaked into my room today and committed a burglary, it has something to do with me. ”
"What the hell do you want? Let go, or I'll have to call someone. The female thief threatened him. I saw that the little beggar smiled coldly and did not make any reply.
"What are you laughing at?" asked the thief curiously.
"I want to see what happens to you, thief, when you alarm the others?" said the little beggar disdainfully.
"You ......!" the female thief was so angry that she couldn't speak because of the little beggar's robbery, but she was helpless, and she had no choice but to swallow her anger. The little beggar took the opportunity to kiss the female thief on the face, and the female thief saw that she was being teased by the little beggar, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she pinched him the waist.
"Ah!" cried the little beggar, and the female thief immediately covered the little beggar's mouth with her hand.
"Don't make a sound, be careful that this girl cuts out your tongue!" said the thief threateningly.
"If it weren't for my serious injury, you would have become my bag a long time ago, and you would still dare to do this!"
"Oh, so you're seriously injured, so that's even better. Come, give me all the silver that is in you. ”
"Hmph, why did you give you the silver taels?" the little beggar smiled coldly, very disdainful
said.
"Because of this!" said the thief, taking out a knife from her body and placing it on the little beggar's neck. I saw that the knife looked even more cold and shining under the hazy reflection of the moonlight.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to kill for money?"
"Don't be verbose! Get all the silver you have on your body!, and let go of this girl's hand!" said the thief as she continued to threaten, and the little beggar had to let go of the thief's other hand. I saw that the female hand took the opportunity to raise her hand and slapped the little beggar again, and the voice was so loud that even the people in the next room could hear it.
"You're ......!" said the little beggar, staring at the female thief, his eyes a little angry.
"Who told you to be a thin girl, and you will be punished lightly with two slaps!" the female thief still scolded.
"Don't think I'm a bully if I'm seriously injured, I warn you, get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!" the little beggar warned the thief in a threatening tone.
"It's okay if you want me to leave here, but you have to give me all the silver on you!!" Otherwise, I will cut your neck with a knife, and let you go to the underworld to see the king of Yama immediately!" the female thief suddenly looked fierce, and said viciously.
"Why is there only one ingot?" muttered the female thief.
"I'm a beggar, and I have just a little silver on me, and I still give it to others. After you take the silver taels, get out of here quickly!"
"I don't believe it! You eat and drink in a restaurant during the day, and stay in this hotel at night, so it stands to reason that you should have more than this silver tael on you. You must have other silver taels hidden somewhere else!Speak up, or your life will be at risk!" The thief used a little force on the knife around the little beggar's neck, trying to get him to take out all the silver taels. Seeing this, the little beggar was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and stared intently at the female thief. When the female thief saw the little beggar staring at her, she was very angry, so she scolded angrily: "What do you see? If you look at this girl again, be careful that I gouge out your eyeballs!"
"You are so beautiful! the more you look at it, the more exciting it becomes!" the little beggar couldn't help but praise the handsome face of the female thief.
"Tell me where the rest of your silver taels are hidden, and this girl will spare your life!"
"I have been touched by you several times all over my body, and this ingot of silver in your hand is all my belongings. If you insist on my life, then do it!Anyway, if you can die at the hands of a beautiful woman, I have no regrets in my life!" The little beggar stopped resisting at this time, and looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. The female thief saw that the little beggar's attitude just now was still unyielding, and now she actually opened her mouth to beg for mercy, and the more she thought about it, the more funny she felt.
"Is it really just a penalty?" asked the thief, half-convinced.
"How many times do you want me to repeat it before you believe it?" said the little beggar impatiently, his face extremely dissatisfied.
"Oh, you dare to have such an attitude towards this girl, you kid is impatient, right?" the female thief finished speaking, and pinched his waist so hard that the muscles on the little beggar's face were tensed so tightly that they almost joined together.
"Now you know that this girl is not easy to mess with, right?" said the female thief smirked.
"The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat, it seems that I have to teach you a lesson!"
"You're seriously injured right now, and you're no match for me at all. Tell me where the other silver taels are hidden, this girl will spare your life for the sake of the silver taels!"
"If you want silver taels, why don't you go?" the little beggar scolded angrily. When the female thief heard this, she was furious and asked viciously: "What did you just say?
"I don't want to repeat what I just said. A woman like you will one day fall into the dust!"
"Hmph! I see that you are the birthday boy hanged, and you think your life is long!" As soon as the female thief's voice fell, the little beggar took the opportunity to turn against the guest, turned over with all his strength, and pressed the female thief under him in the blink of an eye, and then quickly clicked on the acupoints on her body, and the female thief at this moment couldn't move her whole body.
"What are you going to do? Quickly untie this girl's acupoint, or I won't let you go!" The female thief saw that she was pressed under her by a little beggar who was an anti-customer, and at this moment she was pointed at the acupoint, and her whole body could not move, and she was very nervous, she was afraid that this little beggar would do something bad to her.
