Chapter 6: Thieves

Qinghe County, Yunzhou Prefecture, Dayin Dynasty.

Li Mu was wearing a robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, and two large bags in both hands, and appeared in the original bedroom extremely abruptly.

Behind him, there is the newly bought Babu bed, at this time there is already a little dust on the head of the bed, and there are even traces of rummaging in the bedroom.

"Is this a burglar at home?"

Li Mu was taken aback, hurriedly put down the things in his hand, took a closer look in the bedroom, and found that there were really thieves in the house, and the hanging money and a few pieces of broken silver that had been placed in the bedside table before had disappeared.

There is a huge difference between the speed of time in modern society and the speed of time in this world, and it seems that one day in the main world is almost equivalent to a month in the world of the Great Yin Dynasty.

Li Mu has been in modern society for a day, but for this world, it has been almost a month.

He hasn't been at home for more than a month, weeds have grown in the yard, and it's no wonder that thieves will patronize him.

"We've got to get some servants!"

After Li Mu put all the things he brought, he immediately went out.

In such a chaotic feudal dynasty, it is normal for the family to be robbed.

As a flat-headed ordinary person from outside, he has no fame, even if he reports to the official, it is estimated that no one will pay attention to it.

On the contrary, it may be because of the report to the official, he was extorted by the petty officials, and the thief was not caught, and he estimated that he would lose some of his money.

All kinds of considerations flashed in Li Mu's mind, so he decided to quickly buy a few servants and maids, and then find a housekeeper and guard, as long as there are more people in the courtyard, and then get some weapons or something, ordinary thieves will not dare to enter the house to steal.

In the West Street of Qinghe County, there is a city.

Recently, there was a plague in the nearby county, which killed many people, and many people fled to Qinghe County, and then there was a waterlogging, and the nearby river burst its banks, drowning countless people and animals.

Many people fled with their families, many fled to other places, and many fled to Qinghe County.

Most of the people who fled because they were in a panic and did not have time to carry their money, and they were struggling to get by, and some of them had lost their means of livelihood and had to sell themselves into slavery in order to survive.

Some women were bought by people in brothels, and some people gritted their teeth and would rather die than become prostitutes, but there were some literate people who did not lack a livelihood and would not starve and be poor.

Li Mu has been to the human market and has seen a lot of people who have sold their heads, but they have not settled down at that time, so they naturally cannot buy and sell slaves, but now they have enough money and bought a house, and their mentality is naturally very different from the past.

When I came to the human market, I saw that on the cross street, there were men and women in tattered clothes standing on the side of cattle and horses tied to each other, and people and animals stood opposite each other, and they all became goods that could be bought and sold.

A group of men and women have vegetables on their faces and have hay on their heads, and the so-called plugging of the label sells the head, which is what it means.

Sticking a grass on the head means that human life is like grass mustard, and it can be bought and sold at will to show the miserable situation.

Li Mu walked along the street with a hard heart, and saw many people like the old bustard turtle man, wearing gold and silver, who were inspecting the body and teeth of the woman who sold her body, as if inspecting livestock.

During the examination, it was inevitable that there would be a move that touched the body, causing many women to scream, causing the old bustards and turtles to giggle and laugh, the louder these women's screams, the more panicked they looked, and the more happy the big teapots were.

Li Mu shook his head and continued to observe the street to see if there were any suitable servants to start.

He is not a saint, these people are not saved by the government, he is a visitor from a foreign land, and it is difficult to protect himself, so there is no way to save him.

Now if you can buy a few people as maids and servants, you can be regarded as saving them.

He walked around and shook his head secretly, the people who sold themselves in the city were either weak or ugly, and almost none of them satisfied Li Mu.

In fact, if you think about it, it is Li Mu's turn to pick and choose a good-looking woman, and she has already let the local gangs or bustards in Qinghe County pick it up.

And a sturdy man, as long as he has the strength and is willing to endure hardships, he will not worry about finding a job, and will not be reduced to the end of selling himself into slavery, and at worst he will only beg for food.

Only when they can't get food and they really have no hope, they will consider selling themselves into slavery.

Li Mu originally wanted to buy a few beautiful maids to serve him at home, and a few sturdy servants to take care of the home, but now it seems that unless he goes to find someone to buy someone, he will have to spend a little more time if he wants to buy a few satisfactory maids and servants.

Leave the human city and return to the house.

As soon as he reached the door, he felt that something was wrong, and when he came out, the gate was locked, but now the gate was opened, and there was a wagon parked at the door, and some tables, chairs, benches, and bedding were piled up on it.

Li Mu looked at these things very familiarly, and said in his heart: "Isn't this something in my room...... Fuck, this is a thief? ”

He reacted quickly and couldn't help but be furious: "Stealing something came to me!" ”

In ancient times, theft was extremely rampant, and there was no shortage of slipping doors, picking locks, stealing things, and there were also those who engaged in rolls and wrapping parties, rolling up all the things of the master's house and walking away.

Modern society has been peaceful for a long time, Li Mu has always felt that this kind of thing is very far away from him, but he didn't expect that he had just bought a house in this Great Yin Dynasty and encountered this kind of thing before he lived in the heat.

The person who picks the lock and opens the door to steal things must be in the same group as the thieves who stole his belongings before, and this is when he has stepped on the plate and feels that there is no accident, so he will pull things in the carriage so openly.

"Not to mention stealing Lao Tzu's property, now he dares to move things openly!"

Li Mu's mind was racing, and he had already figured out what was going on, so he immediately took out the long sword at his waist, slashed it out, cut off the carriage cover, and then hid the sword behind him and walked into the courtyard.

I saw a few young men in the courtyard carrying furniture, pots and pans, talking and laughing, and walking towards the door.

After seeing Li Mu walking in, several men were stunned, and one of the leaders shouted: "What person? What do you do when you come to my house? ”

Li Mu smiled angrily: "Okay, good!" Even pots and pans are not left, and it is rare to steal things so cleanly. ”

Several men looked at each other, and then they knew that it was the owner of this courtyard who had returned.

The embarrassment on the face of the leader flashed, and then a fierce look appeared, and he took out a bull's ear sharp knife from his waist, and strode towards Li Mu: "Boy, we were invited by the master to help move, who are you?" Hugh is going to talk nonsense! No matter how much you dare to talk more, I don't recognize people with this knife! ”

The rest of the men threw away the things in their hands without hesitation, and walked towards Li Mu at the same time.

Seeing that the man in charge pulled out a knife and threatened him, Li Mu became more and more annoyed: ", not to mention burglary, you have to kill people!" ”

The man at the head smiled: "I have inquired, you are a person who has just come to Qinghe County, your family has suffered a disaster, you are alone, you live in this courtyard, and you have not come back for many days." The neighbors think you've died somewhere. If you're dead now, no one knows. Hehe, if you know each other, get out of here and let us take our things......"

As he spoke, several men were already holding swords and surrounding Li Mu.

Li Mu took it back with one hand, his body slowly retreated, and said, "Oh, then what if I don't know each other?" ”

"If you don't know each other, you'll die!"

The man at the head rushed forward suddenly, and the sharp knife in his hand stabbed Li Mu in the chest: "Surround him!" ”

Just as the big man stabbed forward with his sharp knife, Li Mu's palm behind his back suddenly flipped in front of him, a cold light flashed, and the long sword stabbed forward abruptly.

Burst!

The big man was rushing forward and couldn't regain his momentum, and was pierced through the chest by Li Mu's sword, with an incredible look in his eyes: "You ......"

Li Mu stabbed out with a sword, immediately retreated, quickly pulled out the long sword, and then rotated his body, and the long sword arced, slashing at the necks of several men next to him.

Poop!

These men seemed to have martial arts, and after seeing Li Mu stabbing the leader to death with a sword, they were all startled, and the sword in their hands was horizontal in front of them, blocking Li Mu's extremely fast sword.

But when they blocked it, they felt that Li Mu's sword was extremely powerful, and their arms were sore, and all the swords in their hands were blown away by Li Mu.

"I can't grasp the weapons steadily, and I still learn to break into the house and kill people!"

Li Mu slashed out with a sword and cut off all the weapons of several thieves, he was also surprised, but at this time, he had no time to think about it, since he had already done it, there was no reason to stop, he had to fight and kill it cleanly!

Puff puff!

In the frightened expressions of these men, his body jumped quickly, and the long sword in his hand broke through the air, killing these thieves on the spot in an instant.

It wasn't until he landed and stood firm that the first leader who was stabbed to death by him fell to the ground, which shows how fast he shot at the enemy just now.

"After so many years of practicing kung fu, today it finally comes in handy!"

Li Mu held a long sword in his hand, looking at the several corpses splattered with blood in the courtyard, his heart was pounding, and he was afraid and excited: "This is murder?" It doesn't seem to be difficult. Is it because of my martial arts skills, or are they too wasteful? ”
