The oil lamp was lit in the room, and it was not bright, but when the eyes got used to the light, they could see everything clearly.

The night was quiet.

Song You walked to the side of the bed and touched the quilt, this time it was lucky, the inn seemed to have a bad business for a while, the store took advantage of this to wash the sheets and quilt covers, revealing a faint smell of pods, and it was very dry to the touch, and it would be very comfortable to sleep.

The three-flowered cat followed him, but worried.

"Taoist ......"

"What's wrong?"

"In that group of people, there are a few people who are always staring at Sanhua Niangniang's small bowl!" The three-flowered cat jumped on the table and said, "Strange eyes." ”

"Thief's eyebrows."

"Thief's eyebrows!"

"Meaning, the eyes are like thieves and rats."

"Thief's eyebrows!!"

"That's it at noon today, Sanhua Niangniang's small bowl is beautiful and precious, and it's normal to be coveted." Song You said to her, "Especially this bowl is used by Sanhua Niangniang, and when others see a cat using such a beautiful and precious bowl, they will suspect that we don't know its value." ”

"Crucian carp!"

"Covetous, covetous, and wanted."

"Sanhua Niangniang knows!" Sanhua Cat stared at him and said, "Sanhua Niangniang just thinks it's funny!" ”

"I forgot about Sanhua Niangniang's rich five cars."

"Learn to be rich and five cars!"

"That's right."

"Then will they come and steal Sanhua Niangniang's precious bowl at night?" Sanhua Niangniang said worriedly.

"Alas......"

Song You sat down on the edge of the bed, because the bed was soft and comfortable, he couldn't help but sigh, and then he looked at the cat on the table: "Sanhua Niangniang is so powerful, and she is the best at catching mice, even the national teacher hides so deeply that it just looks like a mouse can't hide Sanhua Niangniang, and now her mana is soaring, who can steal things from under Sanhua Niangniang's nose?" ”

"yes!"

The cat's expression suddenly froze, and the sorrow between her eyebrows was swept away: "Mana has soared!" ”

"If he wants to steal, he will steal it, and I just want to ask him about the goods he is escorting." Song You said to her, "We take the initiative to ask, and we may not get an answer, but if someone else comes to tell us by themselves, it may be better." ”

"yes!"

The cat's expression suddenly froze again, just now he felt that he was already very powerful, and suddenly he felt that he still had a lot to learn.

"And what if they don't come?"

"If you don't come, you are a gentleman, you should bring gifts tomorrow, bow down and ask for advice, I only hope they can tell the truth."

"Gifts~"

The cat repeated.

The Taoist walked to the table, took out the small bowl of Sanhua Niangniang, looked left and right, and picked up the tea bowl that was originally upside down on the table, and compared it, the size and height were not much different.

"Hoo ......"

There were two more identical bowls on the table.

Exquisite blue and white, transparent but not leaky.

"It's okay now, even if he takes it, Sanhua Niangniang doesn't have to worry about her bowl being broken."

"You're so smart!"

"I'll have to bother Sanhua Niangniang."

"Rats are here to steal! Sanhua Niangniang caught him! ”

"Don't hurt him."

"Don't worry, the Taoist priest can rest assured, even if Sanhua Niangniang catches mice, she won't hurt it."

"Then I'm ......"

"You go to sleep!"

"Is that good?"

"Go to sleep, go to sleep!"

The cat hurriedly urged him.

The Taoist had no choice but to lie down.

Closing his eyes, thinking about something chaotic in his mind, the night outside the window was surprisingly quiet, and Song You's heart slowly calmed down, and he soon fell asleep.

Cats are different.

Sanhua Niangniang first waved her paw at the oil lamp, obviously far away, and a little cat's paw couldn't blow any wind, but the oil lamp was extinguished instantly.

After the lights were turned off, she was not idle, first ran to the window to look at the courtyard below, ran to the door and looked at the corridor outside the door through the crack in the door, and then ran to the wall to listen to the movement next door, in short, in the whole room to look here and there and sniff, finally climbed into bed, dragged her real bowl and hid it in the corner of the bed, and then lay still and secretly observed.

Little by little, time passed.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't move at all.

Finally it was the middle of the night.

Judging by human hearing, there was no movement at all, but the three-flowered cat had already turned its head and stared straight out the door.

To be precise, staring at the right side of the door, it seems that you can see the movement in the corridor outside the room through the wall, and then slowly move to the left, and finally stop in the middle of the wooden door.

"Click......

There was a slight movement outside the door.

A dagger reached in and flicked the deadbolt.

There should have been a half-moon moon tonight, but a dark cloud drifted from nowhere, just to cover it, and at this time the five fingers in the house could not be seen, which was suitable for being a gentleman on the beam.

It's a pity that everything is clear in the eyes of Sanhua Niangniang.

I saw the deadbolt move slowly.

“……”

There was an almost imperceptible sound, and the door was pushed open at a very slow, slow pace.

Sanhua Niangniang tilted her head to look at him.

There was a strong man standing at the door, twenty or thirty years old, which was considered young in a group of dart masters.

Sure enough, it was him.

Sanhua Niangniang knew it was him, because this person seemed to be the least intelligent in the group.

The cat changed his posture beside the bed, hid his small bowl deeper, and then looked at this person again, and saw him groping around, cautiously entering, and moving cautiously, Sanhua Niangniang waited for a while and he only walked a few feet away, shook his head, and simply jumped off the bed and walked to his side.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't call him, just followed him, raised her head and stared at him.

This person walks a little, she walks a little.

The man stretched out her hand and groped, and she looked up at his hand, and when the man moved, she looked down at his feet, and there was no expression on her face, but who knew the cat's thoughts?

It can be seen that this person is very careful, and has been walking against the wall, and his purpose is to hang the wooden hook not far from the door of the room, thinking that he saw the Taoist put the bowl in the blanket today, and felt that most people will hang the blanket or clothes in this place after entering the house, so he came here to find it as soon as possible.

The blanket did hang over there.

But the bowl was already on the table.

As for why he put it on the table, he was actually afraid that he wouldn't find it and rummage through it.

“……”

The three-flowered cat stared at his movements, tilted his head and thought about it, then turned his head to look at his own Taoist priest who was still asleep, hesitated slightly, turned into a human form, walked back to the table, picked up the small bowl on tiptoe, and walked back very naturally, and put it into the blanket.

There was no movement at all during this process.

The master didn't notice it, but he reached for it, put his hand into it, and after a little fumbling, he touched the small bowl.

The dart master was overjoyed.

The expression was clearly seen by Sanhua Niangniang.

Sanhua Niangniang turned back into a cat and watched the man put the bowl into his arms, and began to slowly grope out again, looked at it for a while, and when he was about to touch the door, he finally shook his head, turned around, jumped back on the table next to him, and blew on the oil lamp.

"Hoo ......"

The room lit up.

“！”

The dart master was taken aback, and quickly touched his waist with one hand, and at the same time turned around, looking first at the side of the bed, and then at the oil lamp.

The Taoist on the bed was still lying.

The oil lamp on the table had just turned on and grew slowly, and at the table, only the three-flowered cat sat upright, looking at him without blinking.

A cat?

How does a cat light the lamp?

The young dart master was stunned for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it, and his first reaction was to run out.

But as soon as he turned around, he was so frightened that he almost cried out.

I saw that there was a colorful tiger at the door of the room, blocking the door sideways, and the width of the whole door was less than half the length of its body, and it was turning its head to stare at him.

The tiger's eyes were round, his pupils were like needles, he didn't bare his teeth or grin, he just stared at him, but it had already given him great psychological pressure.

Only then did the dart master finally realize that something was wrong.

Trembling with a stiff body, he slowly turned his head -

I saw that the cat was still sitting on the table, staring at him without blinking, and suddenly spoke, and actually spoke, but in a soft and thin voice, it said:

"You can run away from under its belly!"

The dart master immediately held his breath, knowing that he had kicked the iron plate this time, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said:

"The cat fairy is on top, no offense, read in the villain is the first offense, it is not as good as you adults have a lot, let me go, the small one will go back and set up a tablet for you, burn incense every year."

The cat listened but still stared at him, and then looked at the colorful tiger behind him, and continued to instigate: "You can also jump off its back and run away!" ”

"What does the cat fairy want?"

"You're not running?"

"Where do villains dare to run!"

The dart master's hand was already stretched to his waist, only two inches away from the short knife, staring at the seemingly weak cat on the table, hesitating, but also retracted.

"You can also take out your knife and fight the tiger!"

"The cat fairy has vast magical powers and boundless mana, I knew that the cat fairy was so powerful, how could the villain dare to offend?"

"So what?"

The cat suddenly turned its head away from looking at him.

At the same time, the tiger also took a step forward, and suddenly a place was vacated at the door.

It's a pity that this dart master is not a mouse.

Although he was stupid and reckless, he also knew that this was just a trick for cats to tease mice, or rather, it was a trick for them to kill themselves here, and as soon as they ran away, the colorful giant tiger that was so big that people worried about whether the plank on the second floor could afford it would be able to catch up with him in an instant, and a slap could slap him to pieces.

I have also heard of tricks on the rivers and lakes, some people lure out tigers in the downtown area, but in fact, it is just a trick, even if the spell is profound, it can only hurt the innocent people who believe in it.

But there are no talking cats in the charlatans.

"The little ones don't dare ......"

"It's not fun!"

"This is the jade bowl of the cat fairy......"

The dart master hurriedly took out the small bowl from his bosom, respectfully walked to the table, but did not dare to approach, so he had to stretch out his hand to the longest and put it on the table.

"My Taoist priest has a question for you."

"Questions?"

"That's right!"

"Can I leave after asking?"

"I don't know." The cat tilted her head and thought for a while, "My Taoist priest is very good, if you are honest, I guess I will let you go." ”

"That ......"

"My Taoist priest is still sleeping, don't make noise, wait for him to wake up...... Oh woke up! ”

Sanhua Cat turned her head and looked at the bed.

The Taoist had already rubbed his face and straightened up.

Sanhua Cat retracted his gaze and glared at the dart master: "You must be talking too loudly!" ”

"Little wrongs, ......"

After the dart master finished speaking, he turned his head again, looked at the Taoist who got up slowly, and knew that this was the master, so he immediately begged for mercy: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master is magnanimous, please forgive the villain once." ”

"In the middle of the night, why are you here?"

"Villain...... Villain ......"

The dart master was speechless.

"I am a cultivator and has always been kind-hearted, but when I get here, I want to ask for forgiveness, but I still have to tell the truth."

"The villain is lost in his mind for a while, and his brain is groggy ......"

It's also interesting to say, he has done everything, but he is embarrassed to say it, and soon said: "Please ask the immortal master to read it for the sake of the first offender, and forgive the villain." ”

"Is it really a first offense?"

"It's ......"

"Do you want to lie to deceive me?"

“……”

The dart master raised his eyes slightly, and as soon as he touched the calm eyes of the Taoist, he quickly lowered his head: "Don't dare to deceive the immortal master, the villain has indeed stolen once before, but dare to swear in front of the immortal master, this is definitely only the second time." ”

"Look at the foot movements, although careful, but not like a habitual thief." Song You smiled slightly, "I heard that habitual thieves are good at observing words and feelings, so they won't think about us." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Immortal Master Mingjian! ”

"But the foot is a dart, it should be based on openness and faithfulness, why do you want to do this thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs?"

"The villain was lost for a while, and he was ...... like a ghost"

"What does this have to do with demons?"

"The Immortal Master is right! Please let the immortal master let me go once, I will definitely change my ways, and I will never do it again! ”

The dart master kept his voice down, as if he was afraid of being heard.

Song You just smiled and didn't say more, only said to him: "After all, the foot is stealing, stealing should not be, it stands to reason that it should be reported to the government, but there is something I want to ask for advice." If you are willing to do a favor and inform us, I am also willing to give you a chance, which is considered a cover-up, not to inform the government, but you have to ask you to consciously inform the dart head after you go back, and let the dart bureau decide to stay. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm going to save myself from prison." Song You said to him, "The dart master should be honest and trustworthy, if he acts like this, isn't he even willing to bear this consequence?" ”

"Immortal Master, spare me......"

"No."

"Immortal Master ......"

"Think about it slowly."

The dart master's eyes flickered, and he tried to beg for mercy a few more times, but found that the Taoist simply stopped talking, and only looked at him calmly, then gritted his teeth and asked:

"I don't know what the immortal master is asking?"

"Thank you." Song You smiled slightly, "What goods do you want to ask you to escort?" Where did it come from and where is it going? ”

"Huh?"

The dart master was visibly stunned again.

"Isn't it convenient to say?"

"This ......"

The dart master's eyes flickered a few more times before he said: "The little one just knows, but this matter is very important, if the dart head knows the small leak, I'm afraid he will kill the villain......"

"All I said was that you came here to steal and we found out."

"Thank you, sir!"

The dart master didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
