Chapter 47: Catching the Thief
Lu Shaocheng and Ding Wugui went around the most prosperous streets of Tongling Town to look for each other, all the way, but they never found the figure of the begging boy, Ding Wugui was worried that it would be too late, afraid that Lu Yang was cunning and treacherous, and at this moment I am afraid that he is no longer in Qikong Mountain.
Lu Shaocheng insisted on finding the young man and recovering the stolen 5,000 gold coins, this was his last belongings, and he was picked up by thieves in the blue sky and daylight for no reason, and no one would feel happy about this matter.
Lu Shaocheng still continued to look along the street shop without giving up, and the place where he could find it was almost all searched by the two, it was really alive, the beggar boy seemed to have evaporated from the world, and the two inquired all the way, but no one knew the existence of this beggar boy.
In other words, I am afraid that this young man is just pretending to be a beggar, but in fact he is using the beggar's identity as a cover to steal from the opportunity, if this is the case, it will be as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack to find him in the vast sea of people.
In the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun turned the clouds crimson, and the glow from a distance was simply beautiful, but how could the two of them still have the heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery, Lu Shaocheng insisted on looking for a while, but there was still no result, Lu Shaocheng had to decide to let go of the young man for the time being, and went to Qikong Mountain with Ding Wugui.
Just when the two of them passed by a restaurant, Lu Shaocheng inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of a person, who was sitting by the window, although this person had no dirt on his face and his clothes were clean, but Lu Shaocheng still recognized him at a glance, he was the begging teenager.
Lu Shaocheng immediately ran upstairs, grabbed the young man, and shouted: "You little thief, I gave you silver coins, but you stole my money bag instead!"
"Hey, don't spew blood, okay?Who are you?Where did I provoke you?" The young man was clearly pretending to be confused, and when he saw Lu Shaocheng coming over, he hurriedly kept quibbling.
"You bastard, you stole my things, and you can still pretend that you don't know me, I advise you to obediently hand over my money bag, otherwise, my fist will not recognize anyone!" Lu Shaocheng said, and he raised his fist and made a gesture to beat him.
The young man also realized that Lu Shaocheng was most likely here, and suddenly he pointed behind him and shouted, "You haven't come here to help!"
Lu Shaocheng thought that his helper was coming, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and the moment Lu Shaocheng turned around, the young man suddenly took out a black bead and slammed it on the ground, and instantly a strong light rose from the ground.
Lu Shaocheng only felt a dazzling sight in front of him, and the hand holding the young man also let go, and when Lu Shaocheng opened his eyes again, the young man had already disappeared, Lu Shaocheng gritted his teeth and said: "Ya! This grandson slipped away faster than me." ”
"Silly apprentice, hurry up, this kid has been caught by me!" downstairs in the restaurant, a shout from Ding Wugui suddenly came, and Lu Shaocheng was shocked, knowing that it must have been Ding Wugui who caught the young man.
He hurriedly ran downstairs, and as soon as he went out of the door, he saw Ding Wugui grabbing the young man's clothes and refusing to let go, and the young man shouted loudly: "Someone is coming, help!
Ding Wugui was suddenly furious, he completely ignored the strange eyes of the crowd around him, and said in a loud voice: "I said you little bastard, you stole our things, and you still have the face to complain here?"
There was such a big commotion, and the surrounding people were all attracted to it, and some unreasonable people mistakenly thought that Ding Wugui was bullying children, and the accusations were endless for a while.
"I'm really not ashamed, I don't even let go of a child, what kind of world is this, I have bullied children this year!"
"It's such a big person, and it's still competing with a small child!
"Phew, what a bad breed, you have the ability to play with me twice!" A middle-aged man with a large head walked up to him, showing his burly figure, and said quite defiantly.
Seeing this, Lu Shaocheng hurriedly stepped forward and did not speak, the qi in his body slowly came out of his body, attached to the palm of his hand, he suddenly slapped the young man's waist, and a money bag fell out of his waist.
Lu Shaocheng picked up the money bag and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please don't misunderstand, it is indeed this brother who stole my money bag, there is a yellow bead in this money bag, I bought it when I went to the market, if you don't believe it, I can take it out for everyone to see!"
The moment Lu Shaocheng took out the bead, everyone had no reason to stop believing it, after all, if this money bag was really the young man's, how could Lu Shaocheng know that there was a bead hidden in this money bag at this moment, unless he was a Da Luo Immortal who had the ability to predict the future.
The young man was speechless for a moment, losing his previous prestige, and everyone began to point the finger at the young man who stole it, and the young man was also extremely shrewd, seeing that the situation was not right, he took advantage of Ding Wughost's unpreparedness, suddenly broke free, and ran forward desperately.
Lu Shaocheng frowned, the soul in his body instantly came out of his body, he suddenly jumped and stepped on it, and chased after the young man, the young man was stunned, knowing that he had offended a well-known cultivator, he was also smart, and when he saw Lu Shaocheng chasing after him, he didn't run away, and stood directly in place waiting for Lu Shaocheng.
Lu Shaocheng accepted the soul, pressed his shoulder and said, "Ya, you let me chase after me for a while! You are not very capable, why don't you run away!"
Ding Wugui also hurriedly chased after him at this moment, and before his figure could stand firmly, he scolded and said: "Bad luck! I was extorted thousands of gold coins by the owner of the inn this morning, and I will be stripped of you directly in the afternoon! Although I am not willing, it is better to pay to others, than to be stolen by someone else, if you dare to escape again, Ding Ye, I will knock your leg today!"
I thought that the young man would definitely slip away again, but what the two of them never expected was that the young man suddenly knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a wailing voice: "You must be cultivators, I beg you, take me as an apprentice! I have no father or mother, so I have nothing to worry about! But I have been bullied by others, and I have no choice but to learn some street tricks, and rely on the pit to deceive and steal my life! Just now, I was just greedy, and when I saw your waist bulging, I pretended to be a beggar and stole your money bags!"
Seeing that Lu Shaocheng and the others did not react, the young man continued: "As long as you are willing to accept me as an apprentice, I promise to be an upright person in the future and never do this stealing thing again! If I break my promise, I will not die well!"
Lu Shaocheng was confused by this young man at first, but soon he understood that this young man was indeed a sincere apprentice, so he looked at Ding Wugui and said: "Master! We are also fated to this brother, I expect that the reason why he steals is also a last resort, he must also have unspeakable hardships, why don't you just accept him as an apprentice! Anyway, you have accepted me as an apprentice, one more is not more, and one less is not too much!"
"Then how can I do it, I Ding Wugui also has to depend on fate, am I like the kind of person who accepts apprentices casually? Everything else can be discussed, but the matter of accepting apprentices is not to be discussed!" Ding Wugui still remembered this young man's previous behavior in his heart.
This young man is flamboyant and full of crooked ideas, not to mention that he forcibly accepted Lu Shaocheng as an apprentice at the beginning, which was also for personal purposes, so Ding Wugui was even more stubborn and refused to accept this young man as an apprentice.
