Chapter 12 The Beggar and the Two Dogs

Looking at Li Luodi holding the haystack full of rock sugar gourds in his arms, Xiao Si looked at it and stopped talking.

"What? Do I have something on my face? ”

Noticing Xiao Si's appearance, Li Luodi touched his cheek and said suspiciously.

Hearing this, Xiao Si hurriedly clapped his hands, then looked at the latter, and then said cautiously, "It's nothing, it's just that you and the scholars I met are some... It's not the same. ”

"What's the difference?"

Li Luodi looked at the little girl who was cheering and running away, and asked casually.

After hearing this, Xiao Si scratched his head, "I can't say the specifics, in short, it's easier to get close!" ”

Because Xiaosi can be regarded as the lowest ordinary people in the capital, because he grew up in the capital since he was a child, he is familiar with this area, so he went to become a servant.

And because the Ming Dynasty and Zhou Xincai opened the imperial examination not long ago, the scholars who were able to participate in the examination were relatively solid, and after being selected as scholars through layers of selection, most of them changed their mentality, and felt that they would definitely soar in the future, so they were always high up and always disdainful of the small people in the market.

The scholars Xiao Si had seen in the past were as arrogant as swans for these servants, and they were invincible.

Originally, when Liu was able to ask him to assist Li Luodi, he was reluctant from the bottom of his heart. But after contact, although it was not for a long time, Li Luodi gave him the feeling that he was gentle, easy to get along with, and very kind.

What he didn't know was that Li Luodi's parents had taught him since he was a child, that he was kind-hearted, strong on the inside, and kind on the outside.

"Let's go! Let's go inside, and I've heard that the people who work hard are concentrated in the middle of the market. Hearing this, Li Luodi was noncommittal, and he still had to find out the whereabouts of the two palanquin men, and now the top priority was to wash away his cousin's grievances.

"Okay!"

After that, Xiao Si didn't allow Li Luodi to refuse, took over the haystack, and walked in front to lead the way.

At this moment, Li Luodi walked up to him, a thin beggar with a bamboo stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, and bumped into him as if he was not paying attention.

Li Luodi was knocked and stumbled, and then frowned slightly, and before he could say anything, the beggar hurriedly made compensation, "I'm sorry, Childe, it's small, I have no eyes, I bumped into Childe, I will compensate you." ”

After saying that, his legs bent slightly, and he wanted to kneel.

Seeing this, Li Luodi hurriedly helped, and then said, "It's okay, walk carefully." ”

"Thank you, Childe, you are a good person! Not next time."

When the beggar heard this, he was overjoyed and kept thanking.

After letting the beggar go, Li Luodi had just taken two steps, and his mind was instantly alert, and he hurriedly touched the money bag in his arms.

Sure enough, it was gone.

Seeing that Li Luodi's expression was slightly flustered, he stayed where he was, groping around in his arms.

Xiao Si hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with Li Shusheng?" ”

"Oh no, the money was taken away by the beggar who just hit me."

Hearing this, Xiao Si was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted at the beggar not far behind him, "Stinky beggar, dare to steal chickens and dogs in front of the master, hurry up and return the silver." ”

After that, as if inviting merit, he ran towards the beggar like a cheetah.

Listening to the little four drinks, the crowd was stunned for a moment, and instantly made a way.

Zhengxi smiled and played with the beggar who had just taken the money bag, and after hearing the little four drink, he frowned and said, "I found it too fast today!" ”

After speaking, pull away from the lively crowd and quickly shuttle through the crowd with a flexible figure.

Seeing Xiao Si chasing after him with the haystack, Li Luodi was helpless, so he immediately followed.

Although he is a scholar, his father still taught him martial arts for a period of time since he was a child, although he is not as good as a real first-class master, but it is not a problem to deal with some gangsters who are three or nine streams.

The fleeing beggar saw that Li Luodi and the two were reluctant to follow, so he immediately made a decision, abandoned the road, and ran to the alley.

Although there is no crowd cover in the alley, he is confident that he is familiar with the terrain and can easily get rid of the last two.

Seeing the beggar disappear at a fork in the alley, Xiao Si made a little observation, then shouted to Li Luodi behind him, "Li Shusheng, little one, I'll go to the right to chase the thief, you wait for me for a while." ”

Before Li Luodi could respond, he ran quickly towards the right alley like a cheetah.

Li Luodi, who followed closely, gasped lightly, and just wanted to say something, but saw that he was no longer visible. This little four is really hot.

After a short rest, Li Luodi saw that not far from the alley on the right, a broken bowl had fallen, apparently from the beggar just now.

Under normal circumstances, when a person panics and runs away, he will only think about running away, even if he drops something that is not valuable, he will not take the time to pick it up.

But the beggar was more relaxed when he fled, and the terrain seemed to be extremely familiar. So don't make low-level mistakes, especially if you throw away something conspicuous on yourself at one of the two intersections.

Apparently the broken bowl was thrown by the beggars in order to disturb their minds.

When a normal person sees this situation, he will definitely choose an alley without a broken bowl, which is obviously an empty city plan.

But the experienced Xiao Si obviously didn't think so, this broken bowl must be a fog, and the beggar also escaped from here.

But this time, Li Luodi briefly recalled that when the beggar hit him, although his expression was flustered and careful, his eyes were relatively calm, mixed with a hint of cunning. This is also why Li Luodi can quickly feel that something is wrong.

plus his calm expression when he fled under the cover of the crowd.

Li Luodi concluded that the alley on the left was the route for the beggar to escape.

Xiao Si is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, but this beggar has a flexible brain.

After thinking about it briefly, Li Luodi chased after him towards the alley on the left.

At the door of the broken house in the alley, the thin beggar was sitting leisurely at the gate, taking out Li Luodi's money bag, playing with it comfortably, and ordering it, almost five taels of silver.

"Hehe, this ticket is enough for me for several months!" The beggar rubbed his hands excitedly, and some saliva involuntarily flowed from the corners of his mouth. With this silver, it was enough for him to eat Hesai for a while.

"This money is not yours, so you can be uneasy with your heart."

At this time, a lazy voice came, and the sudden sound made the beggar suddenly vigilant, and he hurriedly looked for the sound.

I saw Brother Li Luo walking over slowly and appearing in his sight.

"You're so fast, chasing after you?"

The beggar and the second dog hurriedly put the money bag into his arms, and then stretched his neck to look behind Li Luodi, and after making sure that the official didn't follow, he immediately got up again, "Boy, while I'm in a good mood now, uncle, get out of here, otherwise you will taste the taste of missing arms and legs." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo stick on the side and waved it vigorously, and the sound of breaking wind obviously increased his confidence.

Immediately afterwards, for fear that Li Luodi would not be convinced, his limbs waved a few times with the stick, and his face still tried to reflect a fierce expression.

"Forehead ......"

Li Luodi watched the beggar and the second dog play this stick method, how did he feel like a monkey playing a stick, if it wasn't for the money in the other party's hands, he wanted to throw two copper plates and cheer.
