He steals a lot of people every day, where does he remember He Lingchuan's fate?

"Give me something back!"

"It's sold, it's changed!" The boy patted his belly, "Here it is!" ”

He Lingchuan smiled yin, pulled out a long knife, and slashed the back of the knife against his belly: "If you eat mine, then squeeze it out for me!" ”

The coldness of the metal frightened the boy straight back, shouting: "Panlong City has a royal law, you can't kill me!" ”

"Panlong City has a royal law, how dare you steal?" Although this cub is young, he is a habitual offender who does not eat oil and salt. He Lingchuan asked the woman, "What did you lose?" ”

"An IOU, and an atonement."

An attenuation order? He Lingchuan was stunned, how could a civilian family have such a thing?

The woman shook the boy like a puppet: "Who sent you to my house to steal?" ”

The boy shook his head: "No one, I'm hungry and I'm looking for something to eat." Your family is so poor that you don't even have a grain of rice, so I'll take it as you like. ”

"Are you literate? Or did someone write the words "Confession Order" to you in advance? The woman laughed, "Otherwise, I have a lot of books in the house, why don't you just take one?" ”

It's strange that a thief who is six or seven years old can be literate.

The boy stopped squeaking, his mouth was closed tighter than a mussel shell, but his eyes were "what can you do to me"?

"Who did you give the writ of atonement?"

The boy blinked.

He Lingchuan took out a little broken silver from his arms and shook it in front of him, but before he could speak, the woman had already pushed his hand back: "Don't ask, send it directly to the official, and have someone to ask." ”

"Ask?" It was the first time He Lingchuan had seen someone who had confidence in the efficiency of the government.

"The order to resist the crime is not trivial, stealing this thing is insulting the martyrs, and the government will strictly deal with it if it receives it." The woman patted the boy's head, "He is too young to chop his hands, probably changed to ink to engrave his face, always reminding others that this is a thief." ”

If this is engraved on his face, will he still have a way to live in Panlong City in the future? The boy was startled, and his attitude immediately softened: "Eldest sister...... Little sister, you're doing well, I didn't mean to! ”

He turned to beg He Lingchuan, and tears overflowed: "I also have a three-year-old sister, I was arrested, and she had nothing to eat!" ”

He Lingchuan remained a cold observer. His loss is minimal, so let the greatest sufferer deal with this little ghost.

The woman was unmoved: "Where is my condemnation order?" ”

"On the edge of Chenghu Lake in the west of the city and the city, Liu Tailai is in his hands, and others call him two sticks."

"It turned out to be him." The woman nodded.

At this time, several officials walked by, and the woman waved to stop her, pointing to the boy and saying that the thief had stolen seven households.

The boy was very angry: "I'm telling the truth, why are you still sending me to the official?" ”

"If I don't send it to the official, how can I recover the lost property?" She said, "I'm a weak woman, do I have the ability to snatch back the order from Liu Erguo?" ”

When the two officers heard the "order of attenuation", they were immediately moved: "This kid actually stole the order of atonement?" ”

He confessed that he was the chief envoy of Liu Tailai and Liu Erstick in the west of the city. My brother owed him a lot of money when he was alive, and he wanted me to continue to pay off the debt, so he sent this little ghost to steal the warrant. ”

He Lingchuan listened on the side and felt that this plot was really familiar.

The woman pointed to He Lingchuan again and said, "This thief also stole six families nearby, and this is also the bitter master, and he lost a bundle of firewood and two fish." ”

The officer made a careful note of it, and then said, "What's your name?" ”

"Sun Poria."

"We'll take him back first, and we'll ask you if we have any questions."

He Lingchuan looked at the expressions of these two people and knew that they only focused on the atonement order.

Then the two officers took the boy away.

He Lingchuan looked at his short and thin back: "He begged for mercy and pity, I thought you would be soft-hearted." ”

Women are soft-loving, such as Mrs. Ying.

"The city has city rules, if everyone is soft-hearted and selfish, it means that there is little benevolence and no great righteousness."

He Lingchuan was in awe.

The woman paused for a moment before continuing: "Besides, last time on Maliu Street, he was caught stealing something, which is also this set of rhetoric. ”

She turned around and pushed the door—the door next to He Lingchuan.

"You live here too?" Just a wall away.

Having said that, he never paid attention to who lived next to his house, and only saw that the neighbor in the east had a baby on the night of the emperor's arrival. But the woman was his family's western neighbor.

It's just a dream, isn't it?

"Yes, it looks like we're neighbors." The woman looked at his wooden door, "That little ghost came for my guilty warrant, but he stole your things, I'm sorry." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Lingchuan heard a gurgling sound.

The woman took a step back with her hands on her lower abdomen, and although she was wearing a face towel, He Lingchuan seemed to be able to see her embarrassment.

Thinking of what the thief just said, "You don't have a grain of rice at home", He Lingchuan's heart moved, and he took out an oiled paper bag and handed it over: "Here you go, this is a thank you gift for catching the thief." ”

The woman had the heart to refuse, but when she smelled the aroma oozing from the oiled paper, she still answered: "Thank you!" ”

After He Lingchuan was full of wine and food, he packed a lotus leaf chicken in Yixiang Building, and wanted to use it as a supper at night. This is the restaurant's signature dish, which uses seven spices, including sand ginger powder, which are all raw materials sent to the city by foreign merchants, salty, fresh and juicy. He Lingchuan nibbled on the whole one himself, but he didn't eat enough.

The woman probably smiled, because He Lingchuan saw that her apricot eyes narrowed into slits. Then the two said goodbye and pushed the door separately.

Throughout the afternoon, He Lingchuan was concentrating on practicing martial arts in the courtyard, while there was no sound next door, as always.

He didn't take it too seriously, either. Although Panlong City is located in the Chipa Plateau, many people here have the habit of wearing a face towel when they go out, only showing a pair of eyes outside, so as to block the wind and sand and block the strong light, and he often sees it on the road.

As the sun was about to set, he heard a knock on the woman's door and someone talking.

He Lingchuan has a good ear, and he can hear the conversation when he stands in his yard.

It was the messenger who came to the door, once again asked for the details of the owner, and assured her that the eucalyptus would be investigated to the end, and justice would be given to the families of the martyrs.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Then they left.

He Lingchuan took a cold shower, and just put on his pants, the courtyard door suddenly rang.

The people he knew should be lying drunk at home at this time.

When I opened the door, there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing outside, although she was dressed in plain clothes and no decorations, she still looked like a person who came out of a painting.

Fresh faces? He Lingchuan was slightly stunned: "Who are you looking for?" ”

The girl smiled at him, a small dimple on her left cheek.

"I'm Sun Ling." She raised her head and fell generously, "Your neighbor." ”

"Oh!" He Lingchuan took a closer look, and sure enough, the apricot eyes were a little familiar.

She was holding a bundle of firewood in her left hand, and when she saw He Lingchuan, she quickly sent it forward: "I heard the sound of water." You shouldn't have firewood and charcoal to burn water for heating, right? Pay somebody back in the same coin. ”

said that it was a return gift, and He Lingchuan took Chai He.

It's a big bundle, it's heavy.

"The lotus leaf chicken is delicious." The female neighbor nodded to him, "The signboard of Yixiang Building, is it very expensive?" ”

He Lingchuan blurted out: "How do you know it's Yixianglou?" ”

“…… There is a marker on the inside of the oiled paper pack. ”

"Oh." He didn't know where his sharp teeth and sharp teeth had gone in reality, obviously "He Lingchuan" saw that the big girl and the little daughter-in-law could flirt, so he came as soon as he opened his mouth.

The two fell into a strange silence.

The female neighbor moved her steps first: "Then I'll see you later......"

The ghost made the god stumble, and He Lingchuan opened his mouth inexplicably: "Do you want to come in and sit down?" ”

Every time he fell asleep, he either practiced or fought, and almost never talked seriously to the ordinary residents of Panlong City.

Her almond eyes narrowed again.

"Okay."

The woman walked into the small courtyard with He Lingchuan and looked left and right.

It was cold, but the room was too small to sit on the bed unless both of them were on the bed. That was obviously too rude, He Lingchuan moved the only bench out and said casually: "Please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." ”

After saying that, I was stunned. This yard has not been lit all day, where is it cool and white?

Do you want guests to drink raw water?

There was also wine in the house, good wine. But if you take the wine out, will it look ill-intentioned?

The female neighbor waved her hand very considerately, "No, I really don't need to, I'm not thirsty." ”

He Lingchuan still went into the kitchen to move out a small stove, began to raise the fire and boil water, and also warmed the two of them by the way: "Your brother is Sun Jiayuan?" ”

"yes, you know him?" Sun Fuling's gaze turned to him, "It seems that you are also a patrolman." ”

He said in his heart that Sun Jiayuan's sister is so beautiful, she doesn't look like him at all, especially when she raises her eyes, she looks like she can always see the bottom of people's hearts.

"I was there when Brother Ling died. In fact, I almost followed in his footsteps. He Lingchuan brushed the ashes from the hearth, "He specially asked us before the righteousness whether it is possible to write off the old debts if we become heroes." ”

To his surprise, Sun Fuling's eyes and tone were equally unwavering: "He was really hopeless, so he came up with this method." ”

The ash was a little big, and He Lingchuan almost sneezed: "He wrote off the debts he left behind, so as not to affect you." By the way, does Sun Jiayuan also live here? I never seem to have seen him around. ”

"No, he lives in an earthen house." Sun Fuling said, "What qualifications do people who owe a bad debt have to live in a wooden house?" ”

The earthen house is the lowest-level house in Panlong City, only one level higher than the slave's dwelling, the whole house is six square meters, barely enough to fit a bed, and the remaining space is not enough for adults to stretch their legs.

If He Lingchuan's wooden house is inhabited by civilians, then the earthen house is the standard for the poor.

"However, he sometimes comes here to eat." Sun Ling's eyes were curious, "I heard the wicker girl say that after my brother was killed, you also jumped into the lair of the crypt spider?" ”

"yes." When the fire was raised, He Lingchuan hurriedly sat down and added water.

The fire burns too slowly.

"Then you can see Zhu Erniang? It's the leader of the Crypt Spiders. Sun Poria stretched out her hand to warm up by the fire. The firelight reflected in her eyes, and she jumped and jumped, especially naughty.
