Chapter 37: The Thief

The carriage passed through countless buildings and water pavilions all the way, and in a spring scene, everyone's mood was very happy, and the nature of Thirteen was more splendid, and he couldn't help singing.

It was a folk song from the master's hometown of Qinchuan, northern Shaanxi, which originally had a simple and sad artistic conception, but when it was sung in the mouth of Thirteen, it was completely a rough and heroic cry.

"To the immortals, away from the thatched hermitage, shook your body, and left Baogang for a while, and wanted to go down to Chang'an. In his arms, the fishing drum, and the wat board in his hand, I want to worship my aunt and return my wife to the mountain. "The song of the thirteenth floated around, on the lonely ancient road, and spread far away.

The old man didn't say anything more, looked at the triumphant Thirteen, and said, "Although you can't do kung fu, you sing well, and you're not useless." ”

The thirteenth watch came to the spirit, and said with a smile: "That is, among our brothers, it belongs to my best voice." ”

The old man looked at the yellow cauliflower field outside the car window, and said without turning his head: "What kind of skill is a good voice, at most it is just a play to please others, can you rely on it to kill the enemy?"

Thirteen's face stiffened, he thought he was unlucky, and my heart was not like what I wanted to do, but my understanding was low, I couldn't learn advanced martial arts, and I had a good voice, these were all God's arrangements, could I blame me?

There are no more chasing soldiers, and there is no need to hide and hide, and Sister Qi is also in a good mood, because she can meet many new daughters-in-law along the way, who can help Feng Mu breastfeed.

As soon as the two children arrived to eat, they gathered around Thirteen, expecting him to come up with something delicious. Thirteen didn't disappoint them, always finding some game to feast on the two chronically malnourished children.

Sister Qi coaxed the crying Feng Mu, and the two children came over from time to time to come to see, and Sister Qi would patiently tell them that this was the younger brother, and no matter how difficult it was in the future, they would support each other and take care of each other.

The two children didn't understand these brotherhood, but they repeated the word "brother" with interest in their mouths, and the baby Feng Mu was happy in his heart, because when he crossed into this world, although he lost his biological mother and father, there were many more people who took care of him, and he felt the warmth of the world again.

It is like this all the way to enjoy the scenery, all the way forward, the group after a long journey, finally arrived at Shaoxing Mansion, where they will form a good fate, for the future days to receive endless wealth.

As soon as he arrived in Shaoxing Mansion, Thirteen took his two children to buy sugar gourds, and saw a notice on an abandoned wall, saying that the local gentry Xu family had been harassed by a thief for a long time, and was distressed, and a large reward was offered to catch the strange man who could catch the thief.

Thirteen told the old man about this, but the old man just sighed and said, "Do you have that ability, don't be embarrassed." ”

Thirteen suddenly sank his face, patted his chest and said: "How can I say that I am also the brocade guard of the imperial court, it is naturally not a problem to arrest those thieves, senior, you just wait for my good news, I have to eliminate harm for the people." ”

The old man did not object again, and followed the thirteen into the Xu Mansion, and when Xu Fu, the head of the Xu Mansion, heard that someone had come to help catch the thief, he warmly entertained everyone, but seeing that there were all the old, weak, women and children in the group, and there was only one sturdy man, he couldn't help but be a little worried that it was a deceitful eater and drinker.

Thirteen inquired about the thief's deeds from Master Xu, and learned from Master Xu's mouth that the man's name was "empty-handed" and that he had come to the house to steal several times, and every time he came, he would be notified in advance.

The Xu Mansion is very optimistic about this matter, and every time it arranges many family guards, it is bound to take down the thief, but every time under the noses of everyone, the empty hands come and go freely, and everyone can't help it.

It's also strange to be empty-handed, every time you only take a valuable artifact, and it never hurts people's lives, so when Master Xu reported to the governor of the state capital, the other party said that it won't hurt your life anyway, you have a lot of money, and it's okay to take a little.

In a fit of anger, Master Xu decided to recruit strange people to subdue this strange thief, but these days, they are all charlatans, and after Master Xu has been deceived many times, he is miserable.

Looking at the thirteen arrangers of the family Ding to set up the guard, where to set the trap, Master Xu felt a lot of relief, the heart of the road really met the expert, it seems that this time will let the empty hand have no return, when the time comes to catch him, I must see his true face of Lushan, to see if he is really three heads and six arms.

Perhaps he got the news that Master Xu had recruited a capable person to arrest him, and the empty-handed flying pigeon messenger arrived in the afternoon, saying that he would come to steal Master Xu's most precious treasure at night, and Master Xu was shocked, his most precious treasure was not the ancestral jade gourd?

When night fell, everyone waited bitterly, and did not come empty-handed as promised, and after thirteen hastily eaten dinner, they were all on guard in the treasury where the treasure was hidden, and all the family members also hid in the pre-arranged place. The old man looked at Thirteen's serious appearance, drank tea by himself, shook his head, and turned his head to tease Feng Mu in Sister Qi's arms.

The night was deep, everyone was sleepy, the old man was even more snoring, Sister Qi and the children had already fallen asleep, only Thirteen was still stubbornly waiting to come empty-handed.

Perhaps it was a long trek, he couldn't help but yawn, and at this moment, the lights in the hall went out in an instant, and the thirteen only felt a strong wind passing by him, and when he chased after him, he heard a voice shouting: "Thank you Master Xu's jade gourd, I accepted this thing." ”

"Where the thief goes, let me bump into it today, and you will be considered unlucky. The thirteen shouts let the family members activate the trap, and for a time the big net on the roof, the rope sleeve on the ground, and the wooden sticks shooting everywhere in the room were intertwined into an impermeable net, even if they had great ability, it was difficult to dodge.

Who knew that the empty hand laughed loudly, and said: "This kind of carving insect skills, Uncle Ben still doesn't pay attention to it, Master Xu, we will have a period later." ”

After his voice was finished, the figure disappeared into the room out of thin air, and the thirteen were frightened, and chased after him, but he accidentally hit the mechanism he had set up, and was hung in the air by a rope sleeve, and he pulled out his dagger at once, cut the rope, and chased him empty-handed.

How fast the empty-handed figure is, walking through the streets and alleys, like the most cunning rabbit, even the most agile hunting dog, it is difficult to find and catch.

But the empty hand froze, and an old man appeared in front of him, looking at him with a smile, and he wanted to flee from the roof on the left, but as soon as he jumped up, he was hit by a walnut.

The old man stepped forward to peel off the broken walnut, ate it with interest, and was beaten with a bag on his empty forehead, and there were faint traces of blood, at this moment the acupoint was sealed, and he held the jade gourd in his hand, which was really crying and laughing.

It's the first time in my life that I miss it, it seems that there is really a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!
