Star-Eyed Bat (Medium)

"When we heard that business came to our door, we were very happy. Because we've been waiting for him to come these days. Petty theft can't make money, a few copper coins, a few buckets of rice...... Sometimes, when we met someone who couldn't steal anything, we would steal their clothes and bedding and give them to those who begged for food on the street. Use this way of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' to vent anger. In fact, the families we stole at the beginning were all small families, and there was no money at all. I also blamed myself in my heart at the beginning, but I just imagined that I was doing this to make them feel more comfortable to 'eat a trench and grow wise'. ”

"I don't know if it's to see the money, or if the heart of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' is about to move, and I see the arrival of steamed bread. We are very happy. Started asking him where he did business. Mantou Zhang said, "In the city of Kuaijun tomorrow, at the east end of Devon Street, there is a household of Zhangfu that is particularly easy to recognize, because there is only a pair of big stone lions at the door of the whole Devon Street, and each one has a small stone lion in its mouth, which means "everything goes well"; This family is a businessman for generations, the family is quite rich, only two days ago to give their only seedling son a wedding banquet, it is said that the family's gift money has to be served in a wooden box. The antiques, calligraphy and paintings at home are even more valuable. Tomorrow, the little daughter-in-law who newly married into Zhang's house will go home to save her relatives, and Xiao Zhang Ye is not at ease so he sent many family members to follow, and Master Zhang will also go out to do business tomorrow. There are only a few people left in Zhang's Mansion, and there are only three people who patrol the night. The courtyard of Zhang's house is large, and it takes half an hour to complete a round. These are all things that I heard from the family in Zhangfu, and I can't be wrong. A few buddies, just rest assured. Later, Mantou Zhang also drew us a sketch of Zhang's house. Because the prince of Zhangfu is happy with many guests, he also needs a lot of miscellaneous servants. Live less and make more money, so the steamed bun Zhang also wants to pick up a cheap, go out early to buy steamed bread, and when he sees that the hour is almost up, he runs to Zhang's house to do chores, earning two portions a day. It was easy to figure out the pattern of Zhang's mansion. Mantou Zhang quietly sneaked into the night again. A few of us stared at a sketch. ”

"The next morning, our eldest brother got up early and walked around Devon Street, the main purpose of which was to get the point down. Sure enough, as Mantou Zhang said, the provincial pro-family team left, and then Master Zhang and a guy also left in a carriage. When the door of Zhang's Mansion was about to close, the eldest brother glanced inside, and sure enough, the entire Zhang's Mansion seemed a lot deserted. After the eldest brother came back, he began to take out the sketch of Zhang's house and discuss with us the action plan for tonight, where to enter, that house may have a big treasure...... I'm still in charge of letting the wind out. On that day, we went to bed after lunch, so that we could work in the evening with energy. ”

"Sure enough, we went well that night, and when we arrived at the mud huts in the slums, we were all tired and out of breath, partly because we were tired from running, and partly because our packages were full of gold, silver and jewelry. We've done so many deals, but none of them have come to the fullest. Needless to say, gold and silver, we have never heard of or seen sheep fat agate, coconut jade, and pearl beads. When we divide real money and silver, we can distinguish clearly. But who can understand the value of this precious jewelry? ”

"Seven of us divided the silver into eight. Jewelry and jade, we directly divide them according to their size. I didn't dare to light much oil lamp that night, but I lit a faint one on the table, and seven people gathered around it, blocking the light in the room, and if someone looked into the house from outside, there was no light at all. We still divided eight parts of the jewelry, and the extra one was for the steamed buns, although he only understood how to move his mouth, but it was crucial for our harvest this time. ”

"The next day, in the dark night, I quietly went to Mantou Zhang's house, I stood in the moonlight and just made a gesture before I could knock on the door, Mantou Zhang had already opened the door, it seemed that he had been waiting for me for a long time. There was no light in his room, so he asked me to sit down in the dark, and if it weren't for the bright moonlight coming in through the window, perhaps the room would have been bright only with our big eyes. ”

"As soon as I entered, he closed the door and plugged it in. Dark, claustrophobic, I wasn't terrified of that because I was in the same boat as him. He sat me down and brought me another bowl of tea. It's all done with luminous light. He opened his mouth first, "I knew you would come to me tonight, this morning I specially carried my burden to Devon Street to sell, and sure enough, Zhang's mansion was stolen." As soon as I guessed, I knew you did it. He said that, and I didn't say anything. I simply gave him the package I had been holding in my arms. Along the way, I carried the package in my arms, and the cloth bag was wet with my sweat. Whoever dares to carry so much money and goods in his arms at night, if he is robbed, it is good, if he is caught by the soldiers who patrol the night, and sees me dressed like this, plus the money and goods in his arms, he will send me to death row, and torture me to force me to confess to my accomplices. ”

"So I wanted to do it quickly, let go of my baggage and go. But as soon as I turned around, the steamed bun grabbed my wrist tightly, and the other hand touched the package, the gold ingots, silver bills, agate beads, all kinds of things in my heart. It seems that he was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Fu would be richer than he imagined. The grip on my hand was first a trembling of excitement, then a gradual relaxation. He said, 'I will look for you again when I have work.' ’”

I fled from his house, and I told the others what he had said last, and they were all a little moved, and they all looked dissatisfied. In fact, I already plan to wait for this gust of wind to pass, and then I will raze my hometown, because the money and goods distributed are enough to buy a few acres of thin fields in my hometown and have enough food and clothing for a lifetime. I told them what was in my mind. They all said that I was cowardly, and persuaded me to do it again, one last time, and we would go back together after the last time. And I believed. ”

"Later, Mantou Zhang introduced the business several times, each time it was at night, and every time we could have a huge harvest, each time they said that this was the last time, and they would wash their hands after doing this time. I know that I said it six times, and I believed it six times. Maybe they can't resist the temptation of money. ”

"Actually, every day we live a life of worrying and being afraid, in a place like the Slum Alley, where you eat a stew of meat at night, the whole alley can know that someone will let you look at it early tomorrow morning, pointing and saying, "Hey! You know what! You know, I can smell it when I'm done, you see this house is in tatters, how can you eat meat!......? In such a place, they dare not spend any money, for fear of attracting attention and attracting officers and soldiers. ”

"That day, Mantou Zhang came to the house where we were staying during the day, and I became alert. I know that several of my accomplices are also pretending to be asleep, and how suspicious it is that Mantou Zhang is coming during the day. Either the government has already made trouble, or he has something to do, so he has to tell us now. Now Mantou Zhang is also very rich, but he still sells steamed buns early and late, and it seems that he doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately. ”

"Sure enough, Mantou Zhang came this time for a big deal, and it was a rush deal. ”
