Chapter 16: The Rice Thief
This person is not arrogant, he should be of good character, Liu Xiaolou watched this person go away, full of respect, and bowed his hand behind him.
But in the evening, when the sky was getting dark, there was a misbehaving, from the woods suddenly rushed out, rushed to the edge of the field, waved the sickle and cut a few handfuls, turned around and ran, but could not catch up.
Liu Xiaolou's third-level cultivation of qi refining has not yet reached the point where the flying sword is leaving, so he can only roar at the other party's back twice, and jump to his feet and scold two sentences of "flower grandson".
The last piece of spiritual field was extremely depressed, and it was robbed more than ten times. Especially the last time was even more depressed, the other party's cultivation was obviously two points higher, and he didn't leave on the edge of the field, Liu Xiaolou rushed up and fought several times in vain.
I can't beat him, and it's useless to scold, the other party just harvested with a black scarf and collected two points of his land, so he packed it away and took it away unhurriedly, but there was no way to do it.
Fortunately, this is his last piece of Lingtian, and more than 20 catties have been taken away before and after, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation, so it should be fed to the dogs.
After the delivery of Linggu that night, there was only a hundred catties left from the delivery, and there were four bags of Linggu buried in the secret place, about more than three hundred catties. At this moment, of course, he can't pay all at once, and when the grain is finally handed over tomorrow night, he plans to pay another thirty or fifty catties, and if he doesn't complete the amount, he will take the silver to pay, and he should spend money to buy rice, one catty of spiritual rice and two taels of silver, although the price is high, but it is not something that can be bought if you want to.
Back in the field, Liu Xiaolou breathed for half an hour, and when the moon was dark and the wind was high, he covered himself with a black scarf and put on a hat.
What others can do, I can do too!
The target has been aimed at a long time ago, just at the southeast end of the valley, Liu Xiaolou has to pass by the mountain every night when he delivers grain, and he can see which spiritual field in the valley has not been harvested. There is a very large spiritual field at the southeast end, more than four acres of land, and the spiritual rice is still growing neatly and neatly, which is quite conspicuous.
Being halfway up the mountain, watching through the moonlight for a long time, the Lingtian is quiet and quiet, no one in the four fields, and I don't know if the Zang family has not assigned helpers, or the helpers assigned here have not had time to harvest, in short, it is it!
I waited patiently for a long time, and when a dark cloud drifted by, covering the bright moonlight, the night suddenly deepened a little, and the bottom of the valley became even darker, and I could barely see my fingers.
"Let's go!" Liu Xiaolou encouraged himself, and pounced on himself, his body was swift and mighty like a tiger!
After a few ups and downs, he descended to the foot of the mountain, bent over and swished, and soon came to the edge of the field.
Sure enough, it was a good time to steal rice.
Liu Xiaolou tiptoed into the field, and couldn't tell where he was, endured the thorns of the spikes, threw out the blurry tendons, and immediately started pulling rice, pulling up a bush and throwing it into the back basket behind him, which was filled in a short time.
A few steps back from the paddy field, almost tripped over the field stalk behind his feet, he was embarrassed, but at the moment he couldn't care about it, he dumped the rice stalks in the back basket, tied them with a rice stalk, and temporarily piled them on the ridges.
He returned to the field and continued to work, going back and forth many times, cutting five or six sheaves in a row.
As I worked, I looked up at the sky, the dark clouds in the sky were about to drift away, and the moonlight would be revealed again, so it was best to retreat to the mountainside and wait for the opportunity to descend again.
When he was pondering, the blurred incense tendon was thrown forward, but it was thrown into the air, and it was not wrapped around the rice stalks.
didn't have time to think about it, the blurry incense tendon was thrown farther away, this time it was entangled, Liu Xiaolou Zhenyuan poured the incense tendon and went back to the area......
A soft cry sounded at his feet: "Ouch......"
Liu Xiaolou was stunned, and when he looked at it, it was not a rice stalk that came back, but a figure!
The dark clouds drifted by, and the moonlight fell again, this time it was really real, it was a person, and his ankles were still wrapped around his own vague tendons.
Looking at the rice fields again, there are rice thieves in black scarves everywhere, like headless flies, panicking in the moonlight, scurrying around.
The man who was wrapped around his ankle sat up half of his body, grabbed the blurry tendons, and was angry at Liu Xiaolou: "You poke your mouth, you don't have long eyes?" ”
Liu Xiaolou was also frightened and inexplicable, he had no time to entangle with him, took back the incense tendons, returned to the ridge in a few steps, grabbed the ears of rice he had harvested, stuffed most of them into the back basket, and carried a few bundles of hands that could not be stuffed, and quickly ran into the mountains and forests.
When I climbed to the mountainside, I gasped and looked back, the rice field was empty, and it had been harvested in all directions.
"These dog thieves who steal rice are really motherly!" Liu Xiaolou spat hatefully, looked at the ruined rice field with regret, hesitated for a moment, and finally left.
There are too many thieves targeting this rice field, and if you don't say it, you will alarm the master's family, and when the time comes, you will be able to take the ready-made stolen goods, but you will not lose it.
I found a secluded place to count the harvest, five bundles in the basket, three bundles on the left and right hands, and eleven bundles, the harvest was good!
Hey? Eleven bundles? If I'm not mistaken, I also harvested five or six bundles, right?
After careful identification, sure enough, the six bundles were uprooted, which was done by themselves, and the remaining five bundles were half-cut from the rice stalks, which were obviously much shorter, and I don't know who did it.
This unexpected gain soothed Liu Xiaolou's panicked mood, and his mood was much more relaxed.
He immediately started to go to the ashes, got almost seven or eight pounds, and sent it to the back basket with satisfaction, and rushed to the next target.
The next piece of spiritual field is a little more remote, hidden in the corner of the mountain, only more than one acre, and relatively narrow, overlooking from the mountain, it is blocked by a big tree next to it, it is difficult to find. If it weren't for the day before yesterday, Liu Xiaolou really wouldn't have found out.
Touching the top of Lingtian, Liu Xiaolou jumped down, landed on the tree, and gently opened the branch to check the movement.
Seeing this, my heart couldn't help but sink.
There are already people in this spiritual field, and they have just made a start, and they have harvested about a point of land.
Liu Xiaolou was a little annoyed, and a little unwilling, staring at it through the moonlight, he saw that this person was a female cultivator, she couldn't tell her age, and her figure was graceful, the key was that she didn't have a black scarf to cover her face, and she harvested it generously with a long sword.
is not masked, which means that this spiritual field is contracted by others, and the technique is not a volley sword, which means that his cultivation has not reached the advanced level of qi refining, that is, he has not reached the eighth layer or above - of course, few masters of the eighth layer of qi refining are willing to come over to help.
After looking at it for a while, she found that her long sword never burst out, otherwise how could she be so embarrassed to cut the ears of rice? In other words, his cultivation has not reached the middle level of qi refining, that is, above the fifth layer.
If that's the case......
Isn't it another good opportunity?
Liu Xiaolou covered the black scarf again, quietly jumped down from the trunk, and tiptoed to the edge of the field.
There were still a few zhang away from the ridge, so the cat bent down and crawled over with four hands and four feet.
