Chapter 12: The thief shouts after the thief
The short and fat man naturally has no way to deal with a master with strong martial arts, and he is self-inflicted. And I followed the master's instructions and went north along the waterway.
After two days of boating, I came to a small place called Huanshui Town.
As the name suggests, Huanshui Town, the town is surrounded by puddles.
When I arrived in the town, it was already evening, and I was very worried about traveling at night, so I chose the cheapest inn to stay.
How cheap is it? a broken grass house, two door panels.
Why are there two door panels? one for the door, one for the bed, and one for the quilt.
I threw the rotten cotton wool aside, found some clean straw, spread it on the door panel, and went to sleep.
In the past few days, I have been on the road during the day, and every time I lay down, I was very tired, and I fell asleep not long after.
In the middle of the night, I heard something strange in my ears, and when I opened my eyes, I found the door open.
Not good, there are thieves.
I subconsciously touched the underside of my left arm, and I tied the qi sword to my left arm before going to bed, and when I slept, my arm pressed against the ancient sword, in case others stole the qi sword while I was asleep.
My right hand touched the sackcloth under my left arm, and a cold metallic texture reached the palm, and I let out a long breath, fortunately, the most valuable thing was not lost.
Feeling a little calm, I jumped up and rushed to the door, but I didn't see anyone, and I ran out into the street, but I still didn't see a single figure.
As a last resort, I returned to my accommodation.
Untied the hemp rope that tied the air sword, and then checked my body inside and out, and found that all the copper plates on my body were gone, and the key is that the letter of introduction given to me by the master was also missing, so the relationship was great.
What the hell, I seriously doubt that this thief is blind, he doesn't steal from dignitaries, he doesn't mess with rich landlords, but when I look at a poor ghost like me, can't my professionalism be high-end?
It was useless to complain, but fortunately, when the dawn was approaching, I sat in the thatched hut in frustration and saw Dongfang Bai, so I packed my bags, put on my air sword, and went out.
I continued all the way north, and two hours later I arrived at a small city, only to see three large characters engraved on the city wall, "Shangyi".
There were only two officers and soldiers on duty at the gate of the city, two of them leaning against the city wall, one of them seemed to be asleep, his head just fell, and he raised it violently. Another officer and soldier was even more strange, clubbing the end of the spear on the ground, with the spear head against his chin, and he also looked like he was asleep but not awake.
What is the situation, playing acrobatics early in the morning, the two officers and soldiers on duty may play cards all night at night, so that they are listless during the day.
Such a rare official army is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to me. I pretended to be casual and walked to the city gate, and the two officers and soldiers were naturally not in the mood to interrogate passers-by, so I took a closer look.
My grass, this spearhead turned out to be blunt, and it is indeed a sharp weapon used to massage the body.
Although the business is small, it is full of people, and there are many shops. But I didn't want to stay, first find a restaurant to eat and then hurry, this thought just started, and suddenly realized that all the copper plates on my body had been stolen, and what else did I buy food.
When I was feeling resentful and annoyed, I suddenly saw a person sneaking not far away, staring at a rich woman with thief eyebrows.
Because I was only stolen last night, I was extremely sensitive to people who behaved suspiciously, and I said in my heart, damn it, in this Warring States era, the streets and alleys were full of thieves, and today I will arrest you.
First, to promote the positive energy of the society, and secondly, the stolen people are grateful for my noble behavior of catching thieves, and they will inevitably give up some money to support me.
The so-called catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the traitor and take the double, I follow closely behind the thief, once he makes a move, I will take the stolen goods on the spot.
The thief-eyed man kept looking around, and I pretended to walk behind him as if nothing had happened, looking up at Yiyi, but the rest of my eyes never left him.
Sure enough, the rich woman saw some metal jewelry at a stall on the street, so she stepped forward to ask the price and chose it at random.
When the time came, I guess that's what the thieves thought, and naturally, so did I.
The thief looked around behind me again, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to me, I turned my head and pretended to pick something from another stall, observing the thief's movements from time to time.
Sure enough, the thief leaned on the woman's buttocks, and I was stunned for a moment, only to see a thin and swarthy hand slowly stretch out from its long sleeves and touch the woman's purse, and when I was about to pull it back, the other hand pressed down.
Yes, I struck out, and I grabbed the thief's right hand with one hand and grabbed his shirt with the other.
The thief looked up at me, I could see panic and despair in his eyes, I smiled coldly, and told him with my eyes, I didn't expect it, the mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind.
Just when I was secretly complacent, the thief took the lead in stealing my line: "Catch the thief, catch the thief." "Shouting, grabbing my wrists with both hands,.
I was stunned at the time, and because of my lack of experience in catching thieves, I was stunned and didn't know what to do for a while.
The rich woman suddenly heard someone shouting behind her to catch the thief, turned around, grabbed my Mai, pulled me over, opened her mouth as big as the mouth of the bowl and scolded: "Wang Balamb, you dare to beat the old lady's idea, I'm afraid you want to die." ”
At this time, the air sword wrapped in sackcloth on my back also shook with the rich woman's scolding.
The thief also took the opportunity to fan the flames and said: "He is a thief, I have been watching him for a long time, and I have been staring at this lady, I suspect that this person wants to do wrong, and sure enough, as I expected, he actually stole something in broad daylight, and he should be killed." ”
The surrounding crowd heard the noise and gathered around.
"You spew blood, the thief shouts and chases the thief, obviously you are stealing things, why are you too lazy to me, you are the thief. Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately shouted and explained.
"It's him, you are still quibbling, everyone come quickly, this person is not a local at first glance, he must be a thief from other places, everyone quickly catch him and take it to the government to ask for a reward." ”
I was so angry that I tried with all my might to grab the thief, but the rich woman pushed him away and fell to the ground. When the rich woman saw me fall to the ground, she thought that she was afraid that I would run away, so she spread her hands out, intending to come to the top of Mount Tai, and jumped up and pounced on me.
This frightened me, this rich woman has two hundred pounds, to say the least, all on me, either dead or disabled.
In a hurry, I immediately made a rabbit fall and flashed to the side, the rich woman fell to the ground with a face, shaking a burst of dust, and the people around me also hurriedly dodged away, for fear of accidentally hurting the innocent.
Before the rich woman could say anything about hitting the ground, I jumped up with a carp, found a gap in the crowd, and rushed out.
Most of the onlookers are watching the excitement, the so-called matter is not about themselves, everyone is a smart person, even if I hold the idea that I am a thief, I will not see the road uneven roar, when I should shoot, I will come to stop me, if I have the consciousness of the half of the people, I will not fall into such an embarrassing consequence.
I was secretly rejoicing in escaping from the sea of misery when I suddenly heard a person behind me shouting, "Don't run away thief." ”
I turned my head to look, and a middle-aged man dressed in black rushed towards me.
"I'm grass, why did all the bad luck happen to me. ”
I had no choice but to run with all my might, because it was not ordinary people who chased me.
I walked through the streets and alleys, constantly using houses and corners to block the eyes of the man in black and take the opportunity to shake him off.
I am confident that I have practiced the solid basic skills for more than a month (chopping wood with stones, carrying water, and crossing mountains and mountains), and I should be able to get rid of this kid.
I didn't think about it, no matter how I turned left and right, jumped forward and slanted, I couldn't throw the man in black out of my eyes.
In a hurry, my physical strength gradually became exhausted, after all, if I ran with all my strength, I was a cow, and I couldn't hold back such a toss.
Suddenly, I saw a hidden alley behind a corner, so I ventured into it, and ran into a dead end, with three high walls, and only one road when I came.
Just as he was about to go back and run out, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the only way he came.
Oh no, he caught up, it seems that he can't run away this time, since he can't run away, I can only know with affection, and persuade him to believe my heartfelt words with reason.
Sure enough, under the sound of hurried footsteps, a man in black jumped into the alley, saw me at a glance, saw that this was a dead end, and immediately stopped.
When we boarded, the two of us looked at each other face to face, and the alley was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"You run, aren't you running fast? or your brain is not very good. The man in black sneered, clasping his hands and squinting at me. Seeing that his face is not red and his breath is not panting, it can be seen that his physique is not ordinary people.
I ran with all my might for nearly fifteen minutes, and at this moment I was already panting, holding one hand on the wall and panting: "This hero, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." ”
"That's right, I've seen it with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it, besides, you say you're not a thief, but why do you want to run. It can be seen that he is still a flamboyant thief. ”
"Hero, if I don't run, I'm either killed by you, or I am killed by that fat woman, you say I can't run. ”
"If you run away, you're a thief. ”
"You're so unreasonable, that person is a thief and shouts to catch a thief. ”
"You didn't steal, how can others shout, you still want to quibble. ”
"I grabbed his hand first, but he bit back and said that I was a thief, and before I could explain, I was scolded by the fat woman. ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid that you are a thief, otherwise why would he shout, not you. I don't have enough confidence, I don't admit it yet. ”
