The 10-year-old child went on the road alone, arousing the curiosity of many passengers in the same group, and people often came to talk to him. Yan Saburo's attitude was three points polite and seven points cold, and after walking like this for a few days, everyone else lost interest in him.

Five days later, two people sneaked into his car on the fourth watch day (1 a.m. to 3 a.m.). Traveling during the day is too physically exhausting, and most travelers are unconscious at this time.

These two people had been eyeing Yan Saburo a few days ago, seeing that he was alone with the car and had no dependence, not only chartered a carriage alone instead of a mule cart, but also often bought some food from the small store, unlike the poor who silently gnawed on dry food with water, so they planned to get some pocket money from him.

By the way, this kid seems to have a heterogeneous white cat, they have seen this cat get in and out of the car, in and out of the grass, and know that he will go back to the owner, beautiful and well-behaved, and it looks quite valuable.

Then, there is no then.

The handlebar woke up before dawn the next morning, first went to the grass to sprinkle morning urine, then nibbled on a large cake, fed the horses some grass and water, and then put it on the car. Without warning, a large group of bats flew over the trees, and the horses were frightened and ran a few steps forward, leading the carriage forward two feet.

The handlebar hurriedly chased after the horse to calm the horse, and when he looked down, he couldn't help frowning: the rut was very deep, and by coincidence, the horse and the cart got stuck in a small piece of mud.

He sighed, and drove his horse out, but he felt strange:

There was only a skinny child sleeping in the car, how could the weight suddenly become so heavy? He has a lot of experience, and he can judge that it is at least two adults.

The bumps in the body seemed to wake up the people inside. The handlebar type heard a few "hmm" sounds, as if someone was covering their mouths. He was taken aback, and hurriedly went to lift the curtain, only to see that there were two more passengers inside!

The two men were not short, and they were thrown to the ground like arhats, with their hands tied behind their backs and sackcloth stuffed in their mouths. When I saw one of them, I realized that the sweat towel I couldn't find in the morning was used here......

Yan Saburo slept soundly on the short couch. He was small and thin, and he could stretch out on the couch chair that was a little cramped for adults, and he was not aggrieved, and he also stretched one leg and used the two people under him as a cushion......

There was a bamboo basket on the table, and a white cat. The light shone in with the handlebar-style curtain, and the cat opened its eyes, pressed its shoulders and stretched its waist, and made a standard bend forward.

Then she jumped on the man's head on the ground, and grabbed it one by one, as if she were grinding her claws every morning.

The man had several bloody cuts on his head, and he didn't know how much his hair had been shed, and his eyes were staring at the handlebars, and he kept screaming.

Handlebar type: "......" used to sound like this.

As a result, the team's trip was delayed by two incense sticks.

When the team leader heard about this, he immediately brought the two over and interrogated them in front of everyone.

This kind of convoy walks in the wilderness all year round, and the most feared thing is nothing more than two points, one is foreign bandits, and the other is internal thieves. It is said that when you go out to rely on friends, sixty or seventy people in the team should be in the same boat, but now there are two thieves, and the team leader of course wants to settle accounts with them.

A discerning person can see at a glance that these two stole into the carriage at night to commit the crime. No one thought that this kid would deliberately invite the two of them to the car, and then tie them up.

And everyone also has to thank Yan Saburo for his intimacy, caught the thief in the middle of the night and did not make the camp full of wind and rain and disturb everyone's dreams, but waited until the morning to deal with it. Thinking like this, many people's eyes softened a lot when they looked at him.

As for the two unlucky guys, they were still confused when they were interrogated, and they didn't know how they were defeated. The two only remembered that they got into the car while it was dark, and saw a child lying in the car and a bamboo basket on the table. They were about to look through the contents of the basket when there seemed to be red smoke wafting in front of them, and they smelled a faint aroma in their noses.

Then, they were in a trance.

When the two of them came back to their senses, they had been tied up by five flowers, and they waited until dawn.

The leader searched their bodies, finding two daggers, a coil of rope, and other chicken and dog bits and pieces, and always felt that something was wrong.

Thinking about it later, these two people didn't have a single copper plate on them.

The thieves cried: "He has snatched them all!"

What the two were referring to was Yan Saburo.

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, and Yan Saburo shrugged his shoulders: "If they want to steal me, I'll take them back, it's fair." "These two people are not poor, and they can have three taels of silver when they make it together. One of them also had a longevity lock, made of silver, weighing several coins, probably a talisman.

Yan Saburo didn't say anything polite to him, and he smiled.

Chitose teased him on the side: "What a little three!"

The team leader was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at him twice, and laughed loudly: "Yes, it's fair! You kid is so funny!" No wonder he has the courage to go on the road alone, and he can still eat black and black.

This is the end of the story. If the convoy walks in the wilderness for a long time, these two people are estimated to be thrown out to fend for themselves, and it is also their good fortune, it happens that the convoy is less than half a day away from the next city, and the team leader detains these two people to keep the handover officer-originally these two people chose to start when they are about to arrive at their destination, but also hope to slip away as soon as possible, and feel confident that this little ghost will not dare to ask for help.

......

Half a day later, the team arrived at the end of the trip, Liupei County.

Like the other guests, Yan Saburo was also packing his bags and preparing to leave. At this time, the handlebar chewed dry tobacco, smiled and knocked on the car twice: "Little friend, we have a please." ”

His leader is naturally the leader.

Yan Saburo picked up the bamboo basket and nodded at him.

At this time, the convoy had stopped at the back gate of the post house in Liupei County, and the temporary team of sixty or seventy people quickly dispersed, and the guests paid the final payment and left, while the men had to repair the vehicles and recuperate the horses, and they were very busy.

The team leader was waiting for him under the tea shed of the post house.

This man was a tall fat man, with a sunburned face and two mustaches on his lips, and in him he did not find the pampering of ordinary wealthy merchants.

Yan Saburo remembered that he was full of energy, and sure enough, when he saw Yan Saburo, he opened his mouth with a smile, and his voice was very loud without special amplification:

"Swallow...... Saburo?"

The boy nodded.

"Come, come, drink tea!" Yan Saburo immediately put a large bowl of tea in front of him, and the stoneware bowl was bigger than the palm of his hand. The man of the horse racing team can only drink half of his wrist at most in one sip, "Those two thieves have been twisted by us to the official office, and you will be given justice." ”

Yan Saburo smiled and said thank you, but didn't drink the tea.

Except for gold and silver, he now easily does not touch the things that others give.
