Chapter 85: The Little Thief
She thought in a daze, she couldn't say what it was like in her heart, and she was relieved and a little worried at the same time.
Lin Niannian glanced at the gray sky on the horizon, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
"It's going to change," she muttered, remembering that it was the same when the Lin Mansion was copied.
But those are old days, and it's useless to think about them now.
There are still about ten days away from Lingnan, and the silver in Lin Niannian's pocket is almost gone.
All that was left were the gold plates and silver bowls that had been taken out of the blessings, and he was afraid of attracting attention, so he never took them out along the way.
Touching the package behind him with some pity, Lin Niannian sighed, quite reluctant:
"Eh, babes, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you!" She took out a piece of silverware and rubbed it on her body with some pity.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a dirty body quickly passed by her, and before she could react, the silverware in her hand was gone.
"Little... Thief! Lin Nian was shocked, in broad daylight, is the security in this Cloud City so bad?
As the saying goes, taking someone's money is like killing someone's parents.
Lin Niannian did not hesitate at the moment, and rushed forward with his baggage.
The thief's legs and feet were very neat, he went around and around, ran for several streets, and the person who ran straight turned on his back, but fortunately, she was not a vegetarian every year.
When it comes to chasing after people, people's energy is limited.
After a long time, the thief's speed slowed down, and then he dodged into a small alley, and disappeared.
Lin Nian Nian didn't get used to it, took out the dagger from his waist, and followed in.
This is an alley that extends in all directions, and after entering, the scenery in front of you suddenly opens up.
In front of him was a fork in the road, leading to the east, west, north and south, and the thief was nowhere to be found, only a white-robed boy stood in place, looking at her with a smile.
"Excuse me, do you see a little beggar running this way?" Lin Niannian temporarily eased his breath and said to the young man.
Childe smiled and pointed in a direction, Lin Niannian immediately understood, and after saying thank you, he walked towards the path.
As soon as he took two steps, a thought flashed in his mind, Lin Niannian's body paused, and he immediately turned around and asked the son.
"Childe is dressed in brocade, why is he wearing such tattered cloth shoes under his feet?"
As soon as she finished saying this, the boy's face changed, and he quickly rushed out.
"Little thief! It's useless for you to disguise yourself, hurry up and return your aunt's silver plate! ”
Lin Niannian drew his weapon and stared at the "boy brother", but the latter looked frightened:
"You, you, you... You can see it at a glance, so how can I still mix in this generation? ”
"Hehe, it's useless to say anything, hurry up and hand it over, otherwise I will press you into the yamen!"
Lin Nian was unmoved, and already had the idea of doing it.
"Okay, okay, I'm out of luck today." The little boy sighed secretly, and quickly took out a silver plate from his arms and threw it to her.
Immediately afterwards, Chong Lin Nian spread his hands and said helplessly: "How is it?" Can I go now? ”
As the saying goes, you can be forgiving and forgiving, and besides, you are in such a place where you are not familiar with life.
After Lin Niannian checked it, his heart was a little calm, and he squinted his eyes and motioned for him to hurry up.
The man didn't say much, jumped up and down a few times and then disappeared from Lin Niannian's sight.
The treasure is lost and recovered, and Lin cherishes it even more every year.
After coming out of the alley, he immediately exchanged everything in this pocket for silver. I made another cloth bag and hid it in a close place.
Now I have the bottom in my heart.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark.
The starry night galloped overnight, and it took too much physical strength to chase the thief just now, Lin Nian Nian had no energy.
found an inn at random, Lin Niannian came in and asked for a room, and by the way, he asked for a snack and sat downstairs to drink.
As soon as the dish was served, I didn't have time to move the chopsticks.
The inn was already closed, but the door was kicked open from the outside with a "snap".
A thin shadow flashed in from outside.
"The shopkeeper's good wine and meat!" He shouted, Lin Niannian was looking down to pick up chopsticks, and he felt very familiar when he heard this voice.
When I looked up, I saw that I was in the man's sight.
As if he had seen a ghost, the man immediately got up from the table and said, "How are you!" ”
Lin Niannian also felt a little coincidental, isn't this the son-in-law who snatched his own things during the day, and immediately became vigilant.
"Why are you here?" The two of them said in unison, and the boy and brother had already shaken his legs, and he looked like he was running away anytime and anywhere.
Lin Niannian smiled angrily: "I should have asked you this." You thief, and you still have the money to come to the inn to ask for wine and meat? ”
"Tell me, whose money did you rob?"
The boy didn't say a word, and he was about to slip away.
"Stop, if you kid aren't afraid of my customs declaration, you can run as much as you can. With such a small place as Cloud City, where do you think you can escape? ”
Lin Niannian sneered and reminded, and the man stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Despicable!" The man slowly stood up from the ground holding on to the table, gritted his teeth, and burst out of his mouth with this sentence.
"Am I mean?" Lin Nian grinded his teeth and had already brought the knife over, "Do you want to listen to what you said again?" You're a thief, how do you say it? ”
"Master doesn't admit it!" The man stiffened his neck, "Besides, who told you that the master took someone else's money?" ”
"I'm staying in the store, and I use my own money!" The man looked unconvinced.
At the same time, the shopkeeper of the inn also came over with a pot of wine and meat, and seeing that the two were deadlocked, Lin Niannian was still carrying a knife, and his brain suddenly dizzy.
"Girl, girl, don't be like him, this person, he has a sick brain!"
The shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face, pulled Lin Niannian over, and explained in a low voice.
At the same time, Lin Niannian heard the voice in the shopkeeper's heart.
"This Yuan Gongzi has provoked another one, and he doesn't know what kind of wind he smokes every day, doing these embarrassing things, and he is obviously not short of money, so he prefers to do this kind of work by temperament!"
Lin Niannian's expression was stunned, and he glanced at the "little thief" who was eating and drinking inappropriately, and his expression eased slightly.
Could it be that there is still a secret?
Sure enough, the shopkeeper's next words opened her eyes.
"This Yuan Gongzi is a person from the capital, he suddenly came to Cloud City three years ago, and he was originally quite a normal person, but he didn't know what he was stimulated, so he suddenly shouted that he was going to do something to rob the rich and help the poor."
"Every day, I shout and make trouble, and everyone knows about it."
