Let's say that the dozens of thieves who searched the cottage were led by a big leader, and they searched one place after another, and they were full of complaints.

"Hmph! Those birdmen, they dare to hide in our cottage!"

"Exactly! How long will this big cottage be searched!"

"The three masters are also careful!"

"Shut up! Wait for someone to be cut a thousand times like this! Haven't you heard of being careful about the ship of ten thousand years?

The big boss roared.

"Yes. ”

The thieves responded. And then I searched for it. But the cottage manor was too big, so I had to team up to search it. is not under the nose of the leader, and there is no one to supervise it, and the thieves are more and more relaxed. When I arrived at Zuihou, I only pretended to shout twice:

"Come out, mom, I've seen you. ”

That's it. The back garden is so big, and only five or six people come in. After a few calls, he returned before he even finished the trail.

I saw five or six people come in first, and walked straight to the small building where I was hiding. Staring at the thieves tightly, ready to fight to the death at any time. But seeing that he didn't even mean to come, he put his mind down and meditated as before, until Chang'er said:

"Brother, they're gone!"

Only then did he get back and say Chang'er said:

"Chang'er, tonight the two of us fled, and went to the big yamen to sue the officials, and brought troops to kill this thief!"

"It's all up to my brother!"

Na Chang'er said softly.

Stayed for a day, and there was no movement. There are only two people in the meantime, the middle-aged looks like a martial artist, and the young and strong looks like a Confucian. The two talked secretly from not far away, and it was extremely relaxed. I couldn't go around half a circle in the garden, but I went back again. Although there are a few more minions at the two gates on the front side of the garden, no one has come to inspect the pavilions and pavilions in the garden. I was nervous for a while. It wasn't until they all retreated that they were relieved again.

In the middle of the night, he and Chang'er quietly sneaked downstairs and touched the side door. The side door of the garden was tightly closed. The two lanterns at the head of the door hung high, and the red wooden door seemed to be locked. On both sides of the doorway, one thief on the left and one sat against the wall. One of them was apparently asleep, with a knife in his arms, and bowed his head to dream. The other person looked hazy as if he had not fallen asleep! Seeing that he was trying to shake his head to drive away his sleepiness, he did not seem to want to fall asleep. He sighed and looked over the wall. The walls seemed to be several feet high and very large, but the thieves on the night watch, who were loyal to their duties, turned around and repeatedly, and the long knives in their hands gleamed in the light. I didn't look at it for a while, and I made up my mind. Then he pulled Chang'er to the bush forest next to the exit of the waterway. The outlet of the waterway is under a bridge-type arch, one of the high outer walls. Its walls are wide, and there is an iron fence under the arch to prevent people from entering and exiting. There is a forest more than ten zhang away from the mouth of the waterway, and the trees of different sizes are uneven, and the low shrubs are both inside and outside. Lack and Chang'er are among them.

"Brother, why don't we go into the water?"

"Wait a minute, wait for so-and-so!"

"What's the calculation?"

inadequate, but did not answer her. Just staring at the people patrolling the wall, muttering silently. About the time of the meal, it was not enough to say to that Chang'er:

"Chang'er. The thief is gone, go!"

The two of them quietly touched the water and swam to the iron fence, not enough to muttered something silently as they walked. Although Chang'er was suspicious, she didn't dare to ask. Just watching the shadows cast on the wall go back and forth. And the deficiencies are counted against the shadows. Chang'er was enlightened, and her heart was less than three points. It turned out that the idea of not enough was to count the time of the thieves on the wall. The two thieves were meeting at the head of the wall on this waterway, and then they went back to patrol another thief in the distance. Wait until they meet the people over there and then return, and then go to the waterway. And so on and so forth. Not counting the patrol thief passing by, when he was about to turn back from a distance, he lifted the iron fence with both hands, and with only one force, he shattered the stone trough of the iron fence into pieces. The stone was close to the surface of the water, and with a slight muffled thud it entered the water. This sound was not surprising at all in the sound of rushing water at the mouth of the waterway, but it was not enough to stop and quietly count the steps of the thief. Seeing that the two men had gone far again, Fang just broke his hand again, and smashed another stone down. This time it was louder. Lack then stopped, held his breath, and listened to the footsteps of the night patrol thieves on the high wall.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. There seems to be a sound from under the wall!"

"Listen up!"

One is a thief.

For about half a moment, the two of them could no longer hear any strange noises. But it didn't retreat, just picked up a lantern and stretched it out into the sewer of the wall. I glanced at the figures of him and Chang'er in the water, and as the thieves lifted the lantern farther, it gradually lengthened. frowned in surprise. He waved his hand at Chang'er Xiangxia, and then he slowly sank into the water, revealing only his head. Seeing this, Chang'er also saw the same, but she secretly cast a spell and caused a dead wood branch more than ten zhang away to fall into the water, making a loud noise.

"Damn, it's really unlucky! In the past two days, the two little guys who got out have been all the grass and trees. ”

"Come on, as long as it's okay. The three masters have such a good temper, and they have injured several brothers in the past few days, which has put everyone in danger. ”

"Alright, it's okay, it's just a dead branch. ”

The two thieves took the lanterns and re-inspected as before.

Not enough to calculate how far they could go, he took down the iron gate and swam out with Chang'er along the water. After drifting for more than ten miles, the river widened, and several more streams of water were added. Many mountain springs and streams flow into this channel, but the water is still very clear. But after all, the water in the mountains was very cold and cold at night, and he was not afraid that Chang'er would not be able to bear this suffering, so he went ashore with him. The two of them only slightly twisted the clothes on their bodies, and then looked at the position of the stars, argued the direction and left.

The size of the path between the mountains, every time you reach the key point, there are secret posts and bright posts set up by bandits. I didn't know it clearly, but I didn't tell Chang'er, I just walked slowly and carefully, and only walked where there was no way. It is common sense that all those who walk the way will walk on the way, but if it is not enough at this time, they must do the opposite. Although the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, it was not enough to occupy a large force, and he actually escorted Chang'er out of the mountain Jedi safely. Several times, the two of them walked on the cliffs and could not climb down, so they could only find another way to go. And it came to pass, when it was about to dawn, that they climbed down from the side of a cliff. Then he walked straight to a large avenue, and miraculously did not encounter the thief's sentry post on the way, the hidden pile!

"Finally out of the mountain!"

Chang'er let out a long sigh.

"It's still far away! It's just one way to Sancha Town. Go faster, and you will be able to get out of the mountain when it is about to get dark. ”

An old peddler replied. This is less than a few people that the two of them met on the avenue. They sold mountain goods from the mountains and sold them at the big market. The road is dangerous, but it is rewarding. It is an exclusive business, and the mountain goods are urgently needed in the market outside the mountain.

"If there is great profit, there will be someone who wants it. The world is like this, and there is no exception!"

Enough to sigh.

"Old man, are you not afraid of bandits?"

"Shhhhh

The old man looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered:

"It's not that I'm not afraid of King Pi and other strongmen, but we have paid protection money!"

"Protection money?"

"Yes! In these days, it is difficult for even thieves to do it! There are few people here, and how much oil and water can be scraped? We sell goods, and our income is good. A few years ago, the king of the mountain robbed us severely, and as a result, we had no food to eat, and they had no income. No, in the past three or five years, they have only asked me to collect protection money, but both sides are also very happy!"

"Oh! there are capable people among the bandits!"

"It's not just a capable person, even the powerful people in the government can't be compared!"

"Well, old man, listen to you, but the thieves are better than the government?"

"The thieves all know that the people have no surplus food, and the world cannot! And the government only pays taxes heavily, and does not ask about the years and the people at all! Not to mention anything else! Although the little old man is stupid, he does not know the depths! However, if there are no people in the world, how can there be officials!"

"In this way, it is better to let the thieves than the government! It is really a disaster of taxation and victory over bandits!"

"Hehehe, little old man's fallacy, the two of you are not strange!"

"Where, the boy has long been insightful!"

In this way, the trader traveled all the way, but it was safe. At night, he stayed in Sancha Town. It was still the inn, but there was no mention of the dozen or so guests who had been taken up the mountain that day! No one talked about it, as if nothing had happened here before! Not even the smell of dead bodies in the inn hall was at all!
