When the government officials arrived, all that was left on the street was swords scattered around. Since there were no casualties or losses, they did not stay for long, but only briefly understood the situation with Li Si, and then collected their swords and set off to hunt down the fleeing "samurai".

Before leaving, some of them glanced at the strange old man, but most of them were attracted by his peculiar dress, and did not think much of it.

And in the strange old man's shop, a figure was hiding behind the counter at this time, his eyes lowered deeply.

It didn't take long for the government to issue an official document that the bandits had been exterminated. The article explains that most of these bandits are exiles who have drifted from an overseas island nation. Of the twenty-three people in total, 12 were captured by the government, and the rest are said to have fled to the sea by boat, and it is not known where they went.

The strange bandit matter seems to have been solved in this way, and Aunt Li's basket of clothes has also been recovered. For Mingzhou City, a remote city, this incident was like a stone thrown into a pool of calm lake water, which set off some waves, but quickly subsided.

But the government and the people of Mingzhou City couldn't have imagined that this seemingly small thing led to the next big event.

"So, why do I always think that the government of Mingzhou City is a beat slower than others?" On the afternoon of this day, Li Si sat at the table and ate the newly bought persimmons with Xiao Cao, and he should have suddenly thought of something and said so.

This is the case with the last time I recruited relatives, and this time the matter of the bandits is like this, and the government's arrest is always done when the matter is over. Could it be that when they usually patrol the streets, they all sit in a corner and are lazy?

"Well, you can't say that. Xiao Cao took a bite of the dried persimmon in his hand and said while chewing.

"We used to have a head catcher in the city, but because we were out on a business trip and couldn't come back, the catchers in the city are now a little more scattered. It's good when he comes back, let me tell you, he's so handsome. ”

"Hmph. Looking at Xiao Cao's nymphomaniac, Li Si snorted lightly and confidently touched his chin.

"No matter how handsome you are, can you be as handsome as I am?"

Xiao Cao turned his head sideways, as if he looked Li Si up and down seriously, then pressed his mouth, nodded and said extremely sincerely.

"Well, beauty is indeed not as beautiful as you. ”

"Looking for a fight!" Li Si's face turned dark, and he reached out to knock Xiao Cao's forehead.

Unexpectedly, this girl slipped away quickly, picked up the persimmon bag on the table and stood up, and stuck out her tongue at Li Si with a slight sound, and then turned around and ran away.

"Don't run, give me back my persimmons!"

Seeing that this person also took away his persimmons, Li Sidang even turned over the table and caught them.

Little thief, stealing something actually stole from the head of your thief ancestor. I think you're just a hungry dog going down to the hut and looking for death.

"Shopkeeper, Li Si is beating people!" Xiao Cao shouted loudly as he ran happily.

Zhang Susu also walked down from the upstairs helplessly, looked at the two people running around the hall and sighed and said.

"Settle down and don't smash the stuff in the store. ”

However, in the past few days, there are no customers in the store, so she will make trouble with them.

When he walked into the hall, Zhang Susu looked at Lao Luo at the counter and asked casually.

"Lao Luo, are we ready for the New Year?"

"Hmmm······" Lao Luo briefly looked through the account book and said loudly: "It's basically almost done, and I'll write two more couplets and paste them on the door when the time comes." ”

"Well, it's better for you to do things. Zhang Susu glanced at Li Si and Xiao Cao, who were still chasing in the store, and shook his head, as if he remembered something again.

"Oh yes, when the time comes, you can also write a couplet to the strange gentleman opposite, and then ask him if he wants to come together for the New Year. Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he will live a strange and pitiful life alone. ”

"Well, I can save myself. Lao Luo touched his beard and replied, looking at his casual appearance, he should have already begun to ponder the content of the couplet.

On the other side, Xiao Cao knew that he couldn't outrun Li Si, so he hid directly behind the half-cut immortal who came out of the backyard just now.

"Lao He, save my life, I will share half of your persimmons. ”

Since he knew that Li Si was a thief saint, it was no secret that the "cousin" of the big thief, Banjuxian, also knew some martial arts.

Hearing that there is food to be shared, the eyes of the half-cut immortal immediately lit up, and he didn't ask what the situation was, he responded directly.

"Deal. ”

said that it was too late, and as soon as his words fell, Li Si's hand had already reached in front of Xiao Cao, and he was about to snatch the bag in Xiao Cao's hand. The half-cut immortal suddenly raised his hand and pushed it on Li Si's wrist with just the right palm.

"Bang!" only a muffled sound was heard, and Li Si's body was pushed to the side.

But Li Si is not a vegetarian, he stepped on the ground, turned his waist, and the whole person spun in mid-air, and then kicked the chest of the half-immortal.

"Wow, you're trying to tear down my old bones. Banjuan looked at the kick that was forced to his chest, and immediately took a stance, and punched straight and hit Li Si's foot.

"Bang!" was another muffled sound.

Li Si's body flew upside down into the air like a piece of paper, and then slowly fell again, floating on a table.

"Old Hetou, this is a matter between me and her, don't worry about it. ”

Although it was only two hands, he had to admit that the martial arts of the half-cut immortal were indeed a little beyond his expectations.

Neither of them was serious, but both of them also probed a little bit of each other's reality.

Seeing that this thief was "revealing his murderous intentions", the half-cut immortal was not afraid, stood in front of Xiao Cao, and said with a palm awe-inspiring.

"Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others is the morality of the rivers and lakes, and I can't let it go. ”

"Well, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Li Si's eyes closed, the green shirt on his body was windless, and there should be strands of internal qi surging, and he opened his hands and put on a posture of white crane wings.

"Hmph, am I still afraid that you won't succeed?" The half-cut immortal snorted coldly, and stretched his hands and feet with his internal qi, making a posture of a vicious tiger descending the mountain.

"Okay, don't make a fuss. At this time, Zhang Susu finally couldn't help it, and before a big drama of love and hatred in the rivers and lakes was about to be staged, she stopped it in time.

"Who will deduct half a month's salary again. ”

"Ahem. Li Si at the table coughed sullenly, and quickly dissipated his internal qi and jumped off the table.

The half-immortal also shrunk his neck stupidly, picked up the broom on the side and began to sweep the ground.

"Xiao Cao, you have distributed the persimmons to everyone, really, they are all such big people, a few persimmons can still fight for each other like this, Xiaohe is more sensible than you. ”

Seeing Zhang Susu carrying her skirt and walking back upstairs in a chattering manner, the three people who had just settled down made trouble again in a blink of an eye.

Lao Luo, who was standing at the counter, shook his head and continued to read his book.

As the old saying goes, it's not about yourself, take care of it, eat less salted fish and less dry mouth. And his teeth are not good, he can't eat something too sweet like persimmons.

······

Everyone in the Qianjialou was preparing for Chinese New Year's Eve, but at the same time, the two people in the puppet shop were quietly looking at each other.
