But the jujube tree by the roadside grew tall, and two branches stretched into his house.

There was no one on this road, so the little beggar climbed up the jujube tree, grabbed a few green fruits and threw them into the shop.

In front of these shops is the façade for business, and behind them is a courtyard for stockpiling goods, raising mules, horses, and enlarged carts.

As soon as the fruit landed, the sound of dogs barking sounded in the courtyard, and then two large dogs jumped out of the stables and barked at the little beggar in the tree.

Ahh The woman in red sat down on the branch with her arms crossed, not ready to intervene.

Some shops recruit thieves too often, so they specialize in raising dogs as guards, not only more reliable than people, but also well-trained not to eat food thrown in by strangers.

Can this kid still go down?

The little beggar's face did not change, as if he had known that this shop had dogs.

It's not surprising that he grew up in Yicheng and should have a lot of treasures about these shops. The woman in red saw him take a bamboo cage from his waist and open it, and poured the contents into the courtyard below.

The rat was finally free, but there were two big dogs not far away. As soon as it hit the ground, it jumped to the wall in a puff of smoke and ran for its life.

The two big dogs barked, so entangled. The owner does train them not to eat food from outsiders, but if the food moves, it will run......

It's embarrassing!

Look at the people in the trees, and then look at the mice on the ground, the two dogs jumped on the spot twice, and they couldn't resist the urge to chase the living creatures, and they went away with the mouses.

Taking advantage of the dog's efforts to take the mouse, the little beggar slipped into the yard.

The woman in red sitting in the tree held her forehead and sighed.

It seems to have failed again.

But this time, she was at peace.

Could it be that after many failures, she can get used to nature? This is a novel experience for her.

But after a dozen breaths, the dog hadn't caught up with the mouse, and the little habitual offender at the bottom had already touched what he wanted, and climbed back to the tree with his hands and feet.

......

The head of the soldier turned two corners, and sure enough, he encountered an ambush.

The people in black have kung fu, and they are three over one. Soon he was scarred, the most serious of which was on his right chest, and he was afraid that he had injured his lungs.

He exhaled vigorously. There were troops patrolling the area, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of the rain and could not be heard far.

The opponent's attack became more and more fierce because of this, obviously unwilling to dream more at night.

These people must be the murderers of tonight's murder, but unfortunately, he can't wait for the rescue to arrive. The soldier smiled bitterly, and then was stabbed in the back.

At that moment, several long red objects fell from the sky and landed around them, carrying tiny sparks.

A series of loud bangs, deafening:

"Crackle, crackle!"

The few people who were fighting to death in the field froze.

Blowing up and jumping on the ground, isn't it a firecracker? It's still a special firecracker from the time-honored Xiangguitang, which can blow up half of the incense stick for so long when you light it!

There were as many as seven or eight hangings on this ground, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke immediately spread, making this bleak and cold murderous night as lively as Chinese New Year's Eve.

Immediately afterward, the nearby gates opened, and dozens of people poked their heads out to look here - there were many houses living nearby, and when firecrackers rang out, every household had to open the door to see what was going on.

Even if you sleep to death and be shocked by the sound of cannonballs in the sky, who can not wake up?

Some children were directly scared and cried, so the mother-in-law of that household rushed out angrily and gave a Hedong lion roar: "Which one kills a thousand knives, set off firecrackers here in the middle of the night!"

As soon as the firecrackers sounded, the man in black knew that he could not stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly left his soldiers and fled.

The nearby residents were taken aback when they saw the battle scene and the bloody soldiers, and the locals knew each other how big Yicheng was, so someone immediately came up to help him.

The noise here was so loud that half of the small city heard it, and the army also rushed to hear it, and after asking about the situation, they chased straight in the direction of the retreat of the man in black.

Before being helped into the house, the soldier took a look into the dark.

Earlier, there seemed to be a short figure standing there.

￥￥￥￥￥

The little beggar climbed down from the top of the tree and slipped into the darkness against the base of the wall, just in time to stagger with the hurried brigade of the city defenders.

He couldn't beat the three men in black, but he knew that as soon as the firecrackers in Xiangguitang went off, the leader of the soldiers would be safe. The man in black must have noticed that the firecracker was dropped from the tree, but what did it matter, they didn't see him.

The woman in red followed him and was silent for a long time before asking, "Where are you going now?"

This kid is really only eight years old, and he has a lot of tricks.

She forgot that he couldn't "speak" now. Naturally, the little beggar didn't react, but just walked along the main road to the west of the city.

"It seems that tonight's murder is very big, and I don't know what people died. "She has a very good ear, and she heard the clues on the archway.

The little beggar's eyes flashed, and he remembered the man who entrusted the black box to him. In fact, the two had met before, but with this man's identity, his death was not enough to alarm the whole city.

Could it be......

The streets were already full of guards, and even he had been interrogated twice. However, he is too young to have the ability to commit murder, so the guards are just routine and too lazy to spend more time on him.

Soon after, the little beggar walked into a dilapidated inn.

The post station has long been abandoned, and there are no mules, horses, and vehicles, but the site is still there, and even the open space is still covered with straw.

Squatting on the stone steps at the entrance of the inn was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, whose clothes were more tattered than that of a little beggar, and it seemed that he was also a wandering orphan, but he was in strong shape.

As soon as the little beggar approached, he stretched out one leg to stop the door, and said in a flowing air: "Yo, what wind has blown you here?"

They're not in a bunch.

The little beggar looked into the hall and made a sleeping gesture.

"Why, your throne in the broken garden is not sleeping comfortably?" This little beggar has a quirk, even if he has suffered a big loss for this, he has never changed his loner temperament.

The little beggar naturally couldn't answer, but he took out two round things from his bosom and shook them in front of the young man.

It was two taro, and it was still muddy, and it was very fresh.

He smacked his chin to the post station, and then pushed the taro in front of the young man's eyes, the meaning was obvious:

This is the accommodation fee for tonight.

The boy took it and swiped it twice, well, it had a weight. The man's hand was short, and his face looked two points better, and he shrunk his legs and pointed to the door and said, "The position on the edge of the stable is for you." ”

There were five or six beggars staying here, and one of them, a large lalama occupied half of the beggar's bunk. The latter walked over with some straw in his arms, and without any other movement, he stared straight at the man.
