The figure was heading towards the east gate of Maple Leaf City, and Mu Dongfeng spread his feet and chased after him all the way.

Out of the city, fifteen miles to the east, is the Crescent Mountain.

Crescent Mountain, shaped like the first quarter moon.

There is only one way into the mountain, and it is winding and rugged.

Just as Mu Dongfeng was about to go up the mountain, Tong Erniu rode a horse from behind to chase after him, and he came to the foot of the mountain as soon as he caught it.

Tong Erniu jumped off the horse, came to Mu Xingfeng, and said in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Mu Dongfeng panted and said, "A thief stole my purse, and I chased it all the way." ”

Tong Erniu touched the sweat on his face and said, "Don't you go, it's dangerous in the mountains." I'm going to get you back. ”

Mu Dongfeng looked at the sky and said, "I'll show you the horses, you can't go up the mountain on horseback." ”

The crowd dismounted at this time.

County Lieutenant Lu Chuan recognized Mu Dongfeng and said: "It's getting dark, we can't enter the mountain today, anyway, the Crescent Mountain is this road, we will camp at the bottom of the mountain tonight, and catch the thief in the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as Mu Dongfeng heard that he was going to camp in the wild, it was very fresh, so he said that Lu Chuan agreed to keep him tonight.

A dozen or so hunters quickly searched for branches and hay, and as soon as it was dark, a bonfire was lit. It is said that it is camping, and there is no cover at all, and the saddle, stones, and hay become sleeping places.

Two of them caught a few wild games at the foot of the mountain, and roasted them on the shelf, not to mention, they were full of fragrance, and they brought water and dry food with them, and after eating them all, Mu Dongfeng burped contentedly, and fell asleep in the haystack without heart or lungs.

The catchers take turns keeping vigil in groups of three.

In the second half of the night when Tong Erniu was on duty, a dark figure quietly approached.

The early summer nights are still a little cool.

Tong Erniu stood up to go to Xiaoxie, and was shivering behind the tree at a moment, when suddenly a scream came, and even the branches were trembling with fright.

Tong Erniu hurriedly squatted down, slowly pulled out the Pu knife from his waist, slowly got up, looked around, and found that the other two night catchers next to the fire had fallen to the ground, and the other catchers had drawn their knives in their hands, and they were carefully guarded around the fire with their backs.

Tong Erniu hurriedly sorted out his clothes and leaned over.

Lu Chuan looked at Tong Erniu and asked, "What's the situation?"

Erniu shook his head and said, "I was just unraveling my hands, and I didn't see anything." ”

Lu Chuan leaned down, probed the fast snort on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I was knocked unconscious." Then he looked around and wondered, "Someone was here just now." They attacked us, but they ran away?"

Tong Erniu suddenly remembered and shouted, "The old shepherd is gone." ”

"Old Mu?" Lu Chuan didn't turn his senses for a while, and when he looked back, it was not good, Mu Dongfeng was gone.

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, and decisively ordered: "Tong Erniu, you ride back to Maple Leaf City quickly to seek support, you can steal people under our noses, and we are definitely not opponents with a few of us." Not only did he have to send more arrests quickly, but he also notified Zhuo Da's boss to rush over. After all, it was his godson who was robbed, and I don't think he will sit idly by. ”

When Tong Erniu heard this, he hurriedly got on the horse and left.

Lu Chuan arranged for someone to wake up the two lying on the ground and searched along the foot of the mountain.

Just when everyone was looking for someone, Mu Dongfeng had been carried by a man in black to the mountain temple halfway up the mountain.

The mountain temple has been in disrepair for many years, and it is ventilated everywhere.

The man in black put down the pastoral wind on his shoulder, took out a hemp rope from the bag and tied him up.

Find branches and light a bonfire.

The firelight reflected the face of the man in black, the beard, the scarred face, the rosacea nose, the ears of the wind, if you don't look carefully, you will think it is a yaksha.

The man in black looked at Mu Dongfeng, laughed dryly, and said in a torn voice: "I'm already awake, don't pretend." ”

Mu Dongfeng opened his eyes and asked cautiously, "Where is this?"

The man in black gathered around the fire, roasted his hands, and said, "You don't know who I am, but I know who you are." ”

After a pause, the man in black said again: "Zhuo Bufan, the big boss of Wanma Hall, is your godfather, right?"

Mu Dongfeng looked around and replied, "Since you know that he is an old man, and he wants to rob me, it seems that you have a grudge against my godfather?"

"That's right. Look at this scar on my face, it is the masterpiece of Zhuo Lao Thief. If it weren't for him back then, how could Lao Tzu be what he is today. The man in black said viciously.

Mu Dongfeng twisted his body and said, "I know who you are." My godfather told me that when he was walking in the west of the dart mountain, he met a lone thief on the road, and the two fought hard for 300 rounds, and the thief was finally injured by the godfather's chopping horse/knife, that person is you, right? hahaha..."

"Shut up, little hairy boy, you're dying, and you're still talking nonsense. When the master rests for a while, he will slaughter you first, eat your heart, dig out your liver, and see if you still laugh?" Although the man in black was cruel in his mouth, he did not move.

Mu Dongfeng closed his mouth, waited for a while, and found that the man in black didn't move, his eyes rolled twice, and said, "Why can't you get up?

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the temple. The man in black hurriedly took the hay, covered Mu Dongfeng's body, and stuffed a rag into Mu Dongfeng's mouth.

After a roll, the man in black hid under the offering table.

"Master, there are people in the temple. A voice came in. Two people walked in from the outside, one old and one young.

The old one is a scholar, with a green shirt and a high bun, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a handful of dust, and a fairy wind and bones.

The youngest is a child, thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a sword, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a heroic spirit.

Xiao Daotong first swept into the temple, looked around, and muttered to himself: "What about people? Why is there no one?" and turned back to the old Taoist priest and asked, "Master, shouldn't we scare people away?"

The old Taoist priest looked around, pointed to the haystack, and said, "Look inside." ”

Xiao Daotong pulled out his sword, slowly stepped forward, and picked up the thatch with the tip of the sword, Mu Dongfeng was staring at them with big eyes.

Xiao Daotong was startled, took two steps back, and shouted, "What kind of person?

Mu Dongfeng said "uh-huh" twice, and twisted his body again.

Xiaodao Tong Qingjian shouted angrily: "Shout, don't say anything if you ask." It seems..."

The old Taoist priest coughed and pointed to his mouth, and the little Taoist boy suddenly realized, and hurriedly stepped forward and took out the rags from Mu Dongfeng's mouth.

Mu Dongfeng gasped for breath, turned his head and snorted in the direction of the offering table.

Xiao Daotong glanced back at the master, and hurriedly tiptoed towards the direction of the offering table. The curtain was lifted violently, and the table was empty.

Mu Dongfeng sighed and said, "Alas, the man ran away. ”

Xiao Daotong turned around and asked inexplicably, "Who ran away?"

Mu Dongfeng turned his body, Nunu mouthed, and said, "Untie the rope first." ”

Xiao Daotong looked disdainful and said, "Why? ”

Mu Dongfeng said: "You solve it first." ”

"No, you say it first. Xiaodao said childishly.
