Star-Eyed Bat (bottom)

"He said, 'I have a big business this time, ordinary people can't do it, we have worked together a few times and have a good relationship.'" This business is not profitable. When he said this, my eldest brother was moved, and he got up from his bed, and asked what kind of business was so profitable. ”

"Mantou Zhang said, 'It's been a year and a half since you came to Keshan County, haven't you heard of Wang Tianba's family! Although his family is from a ruffian and hooligan's background, and now he is also rampant and domineering, and he is a common man, but do you only know who his backstage is? But that was yesterday, the latest news this morning, Gou Qing fell, and the emperor found out that he was corrupt and perverted the law, and he took poison to death. It won't be long before the imperial court will definitely investigate, and it will soon find Wang Tianba's home. Because Wang Tianba gave Gou Qing a lot of gold and silver treasures in order to control the coal mines and iron mines in Keshan County. Coal, iron, tea, and salt are profiteering businesses, and you can imagine how much money Wang Tianba's family has. What's more, the daily collection of protection money is also quite a lot. ’”

"The eldest brother said, 'Wang Tianba's name is like thunder, but he is the underworld, no matter how rich he is, if the backstage falls, who can do anything with him, life is more important than money. When the eldest brother said this, his heart was already moved, and I knew him as a person, and I saw the Lord of money. Seeing that my eldest brother did not refuse, Mantou Zhang understood what my eldest brother meant, which was to let Mantou Zhang say something useful to the brothers who pretended to be asleep. Mantou Zhang continued with my boss, "Although Wang Tianba is also on the mixed road, the trees are scattered, and his current servants are at most dozens of people. He heard the rumors that the Qin sent by the imperial court would arrive in two or three days, and the little county official who used to nod to Wang Tianba was now also strong, and he didn't bird him at all. I inquired that Wang Tianba had exchanged his coal mines, iron mines, shops, and family property for white silver and light tickets. Tomorrow morning, I will start incognito with money and belongings. Why don't you guys take this opportunity to make another windfall. I've already told the person inside that he's pretending to take someone to chase the thief, and the rest of the guards don't worry, he'll find someone to solve it. ''We steal and don't kill.'' This is what my eldest brother said. 'Haha, don't worry, Nei Ying just stunned them and stunned them, never kill people and set fires, you rest assured that they don't have the courage, when he takes the son of man, he takes people out of the mansion to chase people, and after you see them go out, go in after a cup of tea. Let him arrange the people to stun people, and you guys are doing it. You can see what happens, and this is an opportunity. Here's a map of the palace, and the money is here—surrounded by black. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have enough manpower, they would have done it themselves. Save yourself from letting someone else get a piece of the action. After tonight, we won't have anything to do. My boss was overwhelmed by the money, and immediately agreed, and I was somewhat apprehensive. But I didn't object to anything, because it was my last vote. I've packed the package, and I'll leave here quietly by myself tonight. When the steamed bun Zhang left, he left a sentence, 'This silver will be divided into three more parts.' It seems that there are three corresponding ones in it, but it is also possible that one of them is made up of steamed buns. As long as things can be done, they can be divided into anything. Because there are seven of us, not everyone has to go when stealing, but three people are enough, and any more will be a robbery. The reason why everything stolen every time is divided equally, one is to tie everyone together, not afraid of being in the nest; ”

"Wang Batian's mansion is in the central north of Keshan County, which is the most prosperous area in the county. Green buildings, gambling houses, restaurants are everywhere, this place also has a characteristic, it is very lively during the day, but after midnight the street is deserted, except for the cats and dogs crossing the street, there is no life. I have been here since noon, disguised myself as a beggar and squatted in the corner opposite Wang Tianba. Look at the situation of the royal house. If you find that there are many guards, there are vicious dogs in the house, etc., go back and inform it, and this kind of life-saving money is not earned. ”

"I regret that there is nothing unusual in the palace, but the people inside live in seclusion, and only two guards stand guard there, probably the people inside are concentrating on taking care of the boxes of gold. ”

"Late at night, at hitch. The seven of us were hiding in the silk shop diagonally opposite Wang Tianba's house, and the guys on night duty in the store had been knocked out and tied up firmly by us, and our eyes and ears were blocked by us. We didn't have much experience in this area, so we just left the shop guys with nostrils to gasp, and the rest of the parts were all tangled in the fabric. ”

"Just after the hour, we saw that there were indeed some family thugs in the palace from the main gate holding torches, shouting that they were taken by the leader to the street to search left and right, and we all pressed the heartbeat and so on, at this time it was surprisingly quiet, and the heartbeat of seven people was also surprisingly consistent, tom We all held back our excitement and passed the tea time peacefully. During this time, we kept staring at Wang Tianba's house diagonally opposite. There is nothing out of the ordinary, the lights in the house are still bright. The eldest brother and one of his brothers jumped out of the window first, and came to the side wall of the palace to hide in the shadow of the corner, and the shadow and the night clothes melted into one. If we hadn't watched them run past, no one would have seen the two of them squatting there. The eldest brother first leaned his ears against the wall to listen to the movement in the garden, and then the two took a human ladder, lying on the wall and only daring to show the height of their eyes to look into the courtyard. The eldest brother felt that this courtyard was too quiet, so he jumped in by himself, and moved to the black place in the map little by little, and saw that the thugs who were standing in front of the door were lying down one by one and were dragged into the rockery and garden. The deathly silence in the courtyard of the pavilion made the eldest brother feel a lot more relieved, and he acted according to the plan. So the imitator big crowed loudly. It is also normal for the rooster to crow when it is young, and it does not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding residents. ”

"Chicken, Yoshiya. Explaining that this business was done, the first person who heard the rooster crow was a brother outside the wall, and as soon as he heard it, he ran out of the shadows and made a gesture in the direction of the silk village: Here, there is no one, there is a lot of money, come quickly. Lying in the crack of the door to watch, we really saw it, and jumped down from the window of the silk village one after another, and went up the ladder one by one. After I sent the last brother up, I stayed outside the wall, quietly watching the movement around me, and according to the plan, the person who answered it would give us a stick of incense to complete the theft. But I never expected it. ”

"Maybe the front door of the palace is open, and there may be no family guard. But we thieves are not in the habit of going through the main door. The main entrance of Wang Tianba's house faces south, and in front of the door is a street leading to the bustling places of Keshan County. I squatted in the southeast corner outside the courtyard wall so that I could see the streets in the east, west, south, and north directions. There was a slight westerly wind that night, and I could smell a faint smell of blood from the wind. I saw something strange about the situation, because the position I was guarding was only four or five zhang away from the main entrance of Wang Tianba's mansion, and the smell of blood carried by the west wind was very likely to come from the palace. For a night watchman, my sense of hearing, sight, and smell is unusually sensitive. I'm also confident in that. ”

So I moved little by little against the wall to see if the source of the smell of blood was in the king's house. As I got closer and closer to the palace with two large paper lanterns that had faded into a miserable white, the lantern with the word "Fu" written on its head was like a birthday lantern for mourning the dead. At this time, the smell of blood was even more solemn. I looked in the courtyard of the palace, the gate of the palace was actually open, the smell of blood was very strong but I could not see people or corpses, the closer to the palace, the longer my dark shadow was pulled by the light, and the door of the house was like a black hole, pulling my shadow step by step and falling in. When I stepped into the threshold of Wang Tianba's house, I didn't forget to glance at the streets on the east and west sides, but there was nothing. Then I looked into the courtyard again, and I saw a trail of blood behind the door, crawling to my feet little by little, and I couldn't tell whether it was black or red in the white candlelight, only that the smell of blood was strong and fresh. ”

"I glanced at the door, and immediately used my hand to stop the vomiting feeling that I was about to turn up, and I saw a half-pulled head with a head half hanging from the neck, and the blood coming out of the croaking stained a gray coat black. The eyes of the wide open surprise couldn't be closed, the pants were already wet, how could I care about the shame and hurriedly went to the yard to learn the cat to bark, that was the code we agreed to evacuate quickly, and I don't know if I heard the cat that changed the tone at that time, immersed in the fright, there was a feeling of wind and noise, and the ears were more sensitive than before. I could hear the sound of the courtyard rummaging through the cabinets had stopped, and I could hear a group of people about twenty people also coming here from the west, they searched from the east, and when they went around from the west street, it seemed that they had searched half of the county, but it was half the time of the promised pillar of incense. That's how I thought so much, while they were still more than ten feet away from me, immediately ran out of the wall, running along the shadow of the wall while learning the cat's estrus sound, like a baby's cry, accompanied by the bloody night, the horror of the stump, that is the true portrayal of my psychology. I ran back to the southeast corner of the courtyard outside the walls of the royal house, and called in the direction of the northeast houses, but no one climbed over the courtyard wall. I was frightened, frightened and panicked, and I could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer, and I could see the torches in their hands shining half orange and half red. Then they stopped, and knew that they had come to the door of the palace, and I screamed for the last time, and hid in the silk shop diagonally opposite the palace, and looked at the wall through the crack in the door, because my brother had to turn out of this place if he wanted to escape, but at last I only heard a shout of slashing and killing, a painful pain**, and a bloody hand had just been pulled down the wall again. I cried, but I didn't dare to cry, so I shoved my tattered clothes into my mouth, and my pants were wet again. Because I could hear those painful ** sounds coming from my brother's mouth. Then the night returned to dead silence. ”

"I sat in the silk shop for another hour, my mind arguing and arguing. I'm sure my brothers are dead, and from the thick blood, from the hoarse screams, I can tell. But I don't know what's going on inside. What should I do next? Is it to raze the level? I was originally going to remember it after this night! Is it to avenge them? After all, I came from the same township and have been together for so long, and there is a way to steal!"

"In the end, I don't want to worry about when to go and stay, think about the ins and outs of this matter, I think it is Mantou Zhang and Wang Tianba's Mansion should want to eat black, Mantou Zhang can get a lot of money from us every time he finishes his work, of course he knows how much money the seven of us have! He wants to kill the seven of us by other people's hands, and then take our money for himself. The more I thought about it, the more right I became, damn it! I immediately became bold from my heart, and evil from my guts. Liang Steamed Bun Zhang didn't dare not know whether we were dead or alive, and went to our home to find the gold and silver silk that was hidden. I hid my money and belongings, and even if I died, no one else would be able to get it. After some finishing, I picked up the thin slice knife that I usually use to steal things and cut my pockets, and took advantage of the fact that the East was not white, and went to Mantou Zhang's house. I have walked this road back and forth for him more than a dozen times, and this time I came to give him dirty. Sure enough, the steamed buns got up early as usual, there was green smoke in his firewood room, and eighty percent was preparing to steam steamed buns again. There was no one in the inner room, and I took a thin-bladed knife in my hand and rushed to the firewood room, for there were only two rooms in his house. But when I kicked on the door of his firewood room again, I was stunned! A puff of green smoke came to my face, carrying the smell of tobacco, raw noodles, raw blood, boiled meat, and roasted meat, and the combination of several smells made me want to vomit again, and the smoke in the small space was blown away by the night breeze that entered through the open door. I dimly saw what was going on indoors: Mantou Zhang was lying on his stomach beside the fire, his heavy body crushing the chopping board full of flour. Steamed bun Zhang was covered with flour all over his body, palms, arms, and sleeves...... The flour was white, but at the moment it was stained red by Mantou Zhang's own blood. The steamed buns lying on their stomachs have no head, their necks are roasted in the fire, the big black pot in the stove is boiling water, rolling and bubbling, there is a smell of meat, which can be smelled in ten miles and eight villages, and it is going to make people greedy again in this slum alley. But...... But...... But the difference in the pot is clearly the head of the steamed bun. At this moment, my pants were wet again and spilling out of other things, which gave my body a little relief. I ran back to my lodgings like the wind, why! why! Why did he die!

"I was a little unwilling in my heart, I was stupid, I was stupid, but I had morality! So in those days, I began to continue to pretend to be a beggar and pretend to be a madman, and I went around Keshan County, where there were many people and I went there. Wang Tianba's house was robbed yesterday, and many people died. Wang Tianba is also dead!'' I heard it, I heard it, I don't know which group of people did it to bring down Wang Tianba, the key is that I heard that several boxes of real money and silver are gone. "Yes, yes, I heard that the family of the royal mansion also caught six thieves, but the thief had backbone, so he didn't say anything, and hit the tip of the knife of the family alive." Suddenly, at this time, a thin monkey haired child appeared and said, "Brothers, what you said is true, but you also say that it is forked, I used to be a flower boy in Wang Tianba's house, and it is my great fortune." On the night of the disaster that struck the royal house, I was so bad that I suddenly had a stomachache. I just lifted my pants and it was uncomfortable again. I just stayed in the toilet all the time. As soon as he heard someone shouting to catch the thief, the housekeeper organized the family to search the yard first, and then took another twenty people to chase outside. Because someone saw the thieves running outside. I was fine when I searched at home, but when I searched out, my stomach twisted, and I was dragged to the toilet. I couldn't stand it anymore and stayed inside, when I suddenly heard the sound of a pop and a pop. At that time, I thought it was the wind blowing the sycamore leaves, and I didn't pay attention to it, but after a while, I heard a bang, like the sound of someone jumping off the wall, followed by the rooster crow, and then after:

boom

boom

boom

boom

boom

At that time, I was just frightened but not afraid, although a large number of people went to chase people, but there were still more than a dozen family members in the house, and my master also often played with guns and sticks, and when he was young, he also went in with white knives and red knives came out willfully. On the contrary, I, a little boy, will cause trouble for them if I go out, and if the gangsters kidnap me and threaten my family to let them go, isn't it because of me that I will let the tiger go back to the mountain? I don't dare to do such a thing that is unconscionable, so I continue to stay in the hut. When they heard this, they all nodded. A few addicted people also grabbed a handful of pastries from the young man's empty tea tray. The hairy boy was also proud, and when he saw that people liked to listen to it, he became more and more proud, and he continued to say, "After a long time in the thatched house, I found that something was wrong! So I shrunk and slowly moved my pace, didn't take a few steps and sat on the ground with my ass, slipped, you guess, guess what I slipped on, I touched my ass and it was sticky and greasy, not shit, it was blood! Blood that was about to freeze!, my left hand was the wall, I could only look in the direction of my right hand, oh my god! A human head, the eyes of the head I was sitting on the ground were facing my eyes, some white dead eyes seemed to tell me to help me get revenge! Help me get revenge! I was so scared that I crawled back to the hut on all fours, and I heard that dirty things can overcome dirty things. The cat that night seemed to be full of weirdness, and it kept howling, and it made me goosebumps. Suddenly, I heard a group of people striding outside the gate, and I thought to myself that maybe the thief chasers had returned from the housekeeper. So I stood up again and leaned against the left wall, not looking at the garden on the right. Meteor ran to the front yard, and happened to see the housekeeper blocking six thieves in the courtyard, and the family found that the courtyard was the same, and a dozen housekeepers were missing, so they searched, and found two doorkeepers behind the door, and found five or six more bodies in the garden, all dead. The group of thieves were also frightened, and they all said that they didn't do it themselves, saying that they had principles and only stole money and didn't kill people. One by one, kowtowing like pounding garlic. The housekeeper listened to you, and directly pulled out the Pu knife hanging from the waist of the housekeeper, and clenched the knife with both hands, and the head of the thief who knelt in front of him rolled on the ground with a gurgle, and the person was still kneeling, and his neck was spurting blood upwards, splashing many people. The brothers behind the thieves were all frightened, and they all crawled back with their butts, and only one of them stood up and climbed against the courtyard wall, because the gate had been blocked by the housekeepers. A few of the closer family members didn't pull him, and directly used the simple knife on their bodies to greet the man's back one by one, but the man fell off before his hand grabbed the eaves of the wall, and died without taking a few breaths. The six thieves were all dead, and when the housekeeper went to check on the master, he found that the house was scattered and in a mess, and the head of the head of the house had been cut off. The gold and silver left behind by the head of the family are also gone. I don't think those six thieves were able to kill a dozen people without any blood, and besides, a few boxes of real money and silver were gone, and either someone had already taken the lead, or the six of them and their accomplices were caught when they were gone. The hairy boy spoke in detail and wonderfully, and everyone listened to it with great fascination. 'Pop' slapped on the hairy child's head, and the hairy boy just wanted to turn his head and 'the mother', but after seeing the man clearly, his face was full of smiles, "Brother Liangchen, give you a taste of the melons, fruits, plums and peaches in this tea shop." After speaking, the hairy boy grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds on the table and handed them to his brother Liangchen. "I said that you, Zhao Ritian, should be locked on your mouth, seeing that your mouth is crazy, didn't the housekeeper say that you are not allowed to tell outsiders about the recent events in the house! This is Zhao Ritian also followed out with a look of remorse. Sure enough, you can get useful information in places like teahouses and stalls. ”

"What Zhao Ritian's kid said should be completely true, the rooster crows, six people, the cat meows, the head is cut off, and a hand sticking out of the top of the wall is the same as what I saw. So what's going on!? Someone must be ahead of us. Because of the thieves, we didn't have any other helpers, and for the carriage of a few boxes of silver, we had a flatbed truck in the alley behind the silk village. ”

"After a night of tossing and turning, I still decided that I would go to the government to report the case, I just talked about our relationship with Mantou Zhang, how the seven of us divided the labor and stole Wang Tianba's house, and I didn't say a word about the previous case. Kuaijun attaches great importance to this case, because Wang Tianba is the person who has to be sent by the imperial court to investigate, but at this juncture, he was killed. Moreover, there is no trace of the stolen money that has been corrupted and evaded taxes. The county magistrate did not dare to interrogate the case, but directly handed over the case to the county lord. Because Wang Tianba's housekeeper reported the case earlier than me: the Wang Mansion was slaughtered by more than a dozen people, although a few thieves were caught, but the thieves swore to resist, resulting in all the thieves being killed, and only after the killing did they find that the family's money had been looted. ”

Later, the county lord quickly investigated and found out that it was the housekeeper who shouted to catch the thief, Wang Tianba's stolen money was not in Fuzhou, and it was inconvenient for him to travel, so the trustee sent it to the hometown where Wang Tianba's family lived, and only Wang Tianba and the housekeeper knew about it, so the housekeeper saw the wealth and came back from his hometown to bring a forged letter from his hometown, saying that the money and goods had been received. In fact, the real money has been hidden by the housekeeper in his own house. I was afraid that the old man would find out, so he didn't do anything, and planned this tragedy, first recruited the killers, said that he would take people out when he was a child, and let the killers kill all the people in a cup of tea. Then he found Mantou Zhang and told him to find someone tonight, after a cup of tea, he went to steal Wang Tianba's house, saying that his internal should have been arranged. As a result, the hairy boy Zhao Ritian said this scene, and the housekeeper deliberately took people back early to blame the six thieves. When I got home, I saw that the thief didn't ask if the master was well, but directly killed people, although they never met with each other at all. The housekeeper finally sent a killer to kill his contact with the thief, Mantou Zhang. I think no one in the world will know who did this, and no one will be able to find out the whereabouts of the silver. But he didn't expect that there would be a sentry like me among the thieves, and he dared to report the crime as a thief. This is 'Skynet is restored but not leaked', 'if people don't know, they can't do anything unless they do'. Later, the housekeeper was sentenced to death, and he was a dispensable character himself, and the county lord saw that I was benevolent and righteous. The court was very angry and ordered that all those involved in this case should be dealt with severely. The county lord was very embarrassed, so he sentenced me to ten years. I was amnesty again, but I was terrified in my heart, and I didn't know how to face the faces of my relatives who were returning home in Yiping, so in the rain, the guilt of fighting and brawling gradually increased, a month, half a year, a year, ten years...... In the end, I finally couldn't go home again, and I felt a little regretful but also a little relieved. When I stood on the city wall, the lord of the county was surprised when he saw me again. Because I should have gone home with my private money. But I felt that going to prison was actually a salvation for my faith, and I told the county lord that I didn't regret it. The county lord just bowed his hand regretfully, and motioned for the soldiers to put it down from the city wall. ”

The military advisor had always sat by the fire, facing Meng Mao'er, listening to him tell his own story. I didn't expect that the people who were frightened by the "stars" just now would talk about the story endlessly, calmly and calmly, as if they were telling the stories of others.

The strategist now feels embarrassed because he doesn't really want others to know his story. So he got up and told Meng Mao'er that if he was tired, he would find someone to change shifts, and don't stay up late and delay tomorrow's trip.

Before the military advisor could sleep and lay down, Meng Mao'er half-knelt in front of the military advisor and whispered to the military advisor. When you go to bed at night, don't sleep too hard. Because this woods are full of quirks. Iyeyeong is a predominantly mountainous country, and despite the variety of mountains and rocks, the variety of trees alone is half that of the other five countries. Living in the mountains and villages, Meng Mao'er has a wealth of knowledge about animals and plants beyond ordinary people.

"Although most of the trees we saw along the way were poplars, ash, and birch, these trees were very different from the ones outside, and the leaves here were not turquoise or dark green at all, but constantly changed their color with the change of temperature, the colder the darker, the hotter the lighter the color. Look at this piece. Meng Mao'er whispered to the military advisor, and at this time, the military advisor had already sat upright, looking at the slap in Meng Mao'er's hand, which was the size of a palm, like a slap with a finger parted. Dark green, some blackened. Meng Mao'er waited for the military advisor to finish reading, and then the leaves were already in front of the bonfire, and the military advisor's eyes also looked in the direction of the leaves.

The color of the leaves surprised him. The color of the leaves near the campfire has changed from dark green to dark green, and then from dark green to green, light green, blue, and goose yellow. This level of transformation is completed in the blink of an eye. Then Meng Mao'er took the leaves away from the fire, and the leaves gradually turned back to dark green. Meng Mao'er also used willow leaves and birch trees to show the military advisor one by one, and it was true. The military advisor secretly admired Meng Mao'er's meticulous observation, and he could find problems by burning a bonfire.

"Everything here looks similar to what is outside the walls, but in fact it is very different. Do you know what those stars are?! are bats, mainly the eyes of bats. Meng Mao'er said, pointing with her hand. The military advisor knew that he didn't have as good eyesight as Meng Mao'er, but he still looked in the direction of his fingertips. The military advisor couldn't imagine that the "stars" in the sky were actually the eyes of bats.

"I could probably see the outline of a bat, a large body as large as a palm, a spherical body, small ears, surprisingly large eyes, two eyes close together to form a circle, no wings in sight. It's not their bodies that are strange, it's their behavior, and bats generally rest during the day and forage for food at night. It was supposed to be night, but instead of flying around like bats to catch insects and find nectar and wild fruits, they were all around us. Maybe they're trying to suck our blood. Because there are several species of bats that live by sucking the blood of animals. Meng Mao'er gushed endlessly. He is very good at finding problems, but not good at solving them.

Once again, the military advisor was deeply lost in thought, for he had a new fear of this deep forest.
