In 1137 A.D., in the Yixiao Xuan, the hall was full of guests and full of seats. The storyteller on the table is a middle-aged man, his appearance is extraordinary, and he has the style of a military general in the writing and ink, and some listeners sighed secretly: "Such a jade lang in the world, Tianying should beg and point to the crisp girl, but the heavenly prince is not beautiful!" ”

The man knocked on the waking wood in his hand and said, "Today I will tell you the story of the vanishing thief." Before the thief was twenty years old, he had studied martial arts, and after completing his studies, he wandered around because he was happy. He was not used to corrupt officials in his life, so he began a life of robbing corruption and helping the poor. That day, after stealing the treasure of King Kang's Mansion Night Pearl, in order to avoid pursuit, the thief fled out of the city, but because he couldn't stop the horse, he inadvertently lifted the skirt of a woman on the side of the road, and saw that the officers and soldiers did not chase after him, and the thief dismounted to apologize to the woman, but he didn't want to just look at it, it was a lifetime. The thief thought that there was nothing in this world that could not be stolen, but he began to worry that he could not steal her heart, but his own heart had been taken away by her, just because of this sight, the thief suddenly wanted to stop being a thief and marry him. In the end, the thief finally stole her heart, and then spent three years with her, the thief accompanied her to eat the noodle soup in the alley, and the snow fell outside the window while talking and laughing, and he did not hesitate to use the night pearl to make marbles and play. In 1126 A.D., the thief decided to marry her, and heard that there was a hosta made of shark beads in the palace of Nanjing, which was given to his beloved, and he could never be separated from it for the rest of his life.

After that, he embarked on the road to Nanjing, on the way back from the thief stealing the hosta, I heard that the Jin army captured Bianliang, burned and looted all the way, the people were not happy, the thief traveled day and night, rushed back to Bianliang, and kept comforting himself all the way, but after returning, he had to accept the reality that she had passed away. Since then, the thief abandoned the thief to join the army, with nostalgia for her, put all his hatred on the Jin army, the soldiers said that the thief was brave and abnormal on the battlefield, but he didn't know that the thief's heart was full of anger to avenge her and regret not staying by her side. In the end, the thief shot Yan Ketu with a sword, and after repeated achievements, the Jin army was also defeated and retreated. Therefore, the thief was named the general who protected the country, and above the court, the general pushed away all rewards and resigned from his official position. After the resignation of the general, no one knew where he went, but I left such a story, which I heard by chance, and told you to share it. That's all for today, thank you very much. ”

As soon as they woke up, everyone had not yet recovered from the story of the thief, but they found that the storyteller had turned into the back hall. The people got up and scattered. The storyteller looked at the loquat tree in the courtyard of the back hall, and the unsent hosta hung on the tree, and he was already in tears......

Laugh at the snow flying by the window
