The wind and snow are getting heavier. Heaven and earth are already white. Last night the north wind howled, and the ditches were flat overnight. After noon, the wind suddenly stopped. There was silence in my ears. All that was left was the falling snow that fell silently.

There is no wind and snow falling, but there is a kind of warmth that rises backwards.

Wearing a wolf's skin, Bai Yuwei stood under the eaves to hide from the snow in twos and threes. In the past few days, the oil lamps in the tower have been lit all night. Far from being covered with ice cubes, the eaves have not yet frozen.

From the Shuangque standing at the entrance of the village, in the covered bridge across the official road, a hurried horn suddenly sounded.

The nearby Bai Yu guards and the archers in the nearby watchtower were immediately alert. As far as the eye can see, in the white snow, a group of homeless people wearing robes and hats are trudging towards the entrance of the village.

Snow is knee-high. Every step was difficult.

The homeless people know that only by going in can they live.

Walking to the bluestone ground around Shuangque, there is not much snow left. Only a thin layer of ice was formed. The homeless stepped on it, and the thin ice shattered. The homeless people lined up quickly stepped out of a broken ice path and walked into Lousang.

Retracting their gaze from this group of homeless people, Lu and Wei Er stabbed and whispered a few words to Bai Yuwei beside him. The pawn then ran to the village.

There are elite soldiers to show the way along the way. The group soon arrived at the Lou Sang Guest House. The house was full, and the dining hall was removed, and the tables and mats were removed, so that the homeless people could set up their bunks. At this time, there were also a lot of people sleeping. The newcomers are overbearing. Without waiting to take off their shoes and enter the church, the first homeless people avoided in the corner. Leaving the most spacious position in the middle.

Waiting for the newcomers to sit in a circle, the first to come forward and fill the lobby.

"How?" A hoarse question rang out in the circle.

"Hugely rich." The answerer is also in the circle.

"When to do it?" Someone asked again.

"Tonight." It was a mute man who spoke.

"Who set fires, who fights, who loots?" The fourth asked.

"The old rule, explore (draw lots)."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a shout outside the hall: "The newcomer should go to the soup pool quickly, bathe and change clothes, and then get food!" ”

"Whoa!" The people in the circle responded in unison.

Quietly loosen the rope and hand the linen wrap hanging behind his back to the nearby crowd, and the people in the circle took off their robes, took off their hats, walked out of the hall barefoot.

Waiting for the people in the circle to leave, covering each other, the first displaced people who hid their packages exchanged heads and ears, and their faces seemed to be happy.

Liu Bei's house.

After listening to the two stabbing men's accounts, the mother's surprise was all on her face.

Liu Bei was also suspicious: "Are you saying that the displaced people who came before are in the same group as this wave of rogues?" ”

"Exactly." Wei Xi clenched his fists and replied: "Back to the young master, the name of this move is: 'Hanging Dog's Tail'." Use the homeless people as bait to make the host family relax their vigilance. The strongmen mixed in with the crowd of displaced people, so that one team set fire to the warehouse, one team shouted and killed, and the other team plundered the lord's house. The homeless people are often involved in fleeing, secretly setting fires, looting, stabbing at them, colluding with strongmen, and committing many unrighteous things. ”

Liu Bei understood: "Therefore, the homeless people are also wicked. ”

"Exactly." Lu Chong, on the other side, replied in a deep voice.

Seeing that Liu Bei seemed to be indecisive, the two assassins glanced at each other, and still Wei Xi said: "The young master has ever cared that there are no women or children in this group of homeless people. ”

Liu Bei had been giving porridge with his mother a few days ago, but he did not see the women and children.

Seeing Liu Bei nodding slightly, Wei Xi said again: "Along the way, taking rations, cannibalizing children, raping people's wives and daughters, and doing all kinds of evil. The beloveds are dead. The rest are the most vicious. Can the young master know why they wandered away and did not return to their homeland? Gain has long been accustomed to licking blood with a knife and killing people for food. Their hands could no longer hold a hoe. ”

"How can it be proven?" Mother still couldn't believe it.

"Madame, look." Wei Xi waved behind him.

Then a man stretched his ape arm, fell down from the eaves, and called out to the young master.

The person who came was a chivalrous man who was good at flying eaves and walking on the wall. After kneeling on the ground and saluting, he took out a package from his back and handed it to Wei Xi. It's the one they brought with them when they came.

Wei Xi unfolded the package layer by layer. Liu Bei suddenly gasped.

"Kill."

"Whoa!" Wei Lu and the others responded in unison.

There is a sharp blade hidden in the package, and Liu Bei is prepared. But when he saw several blood-stained hairpins, jade bracelets, and a forbidden thing on the bed, he couldn't help but be angry! These rogues don't just want to kill, they want to have fun!

The exquisitely shaped hairpins and jade bracelets are so precious. Presumably, their owners have been murdered. He was humiliated before he died!

The thought of these black hands reaching out to his mother. The evil tiger in Liu Bei's chest broke out of the gate!

It's going to devour!

There is only one bowl of soup porridge.

This has been true throughout the ages. The homeless people who have eaten enough are afraid of trouble. Half-dead hanging to ensure safety.

These thieves are different.

Only half a bowl of rice porridge is eaten, and the other half bowl is evenly distributed to the later Liukou. After the rogues had eaten their fill, they lay down in their clothes. In the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The biggest man in the village must live in the largest house. You don't have to inquire at all. The lady who gives porridge every day is the richest family here. Instead of going through the main entrance, he went up to the second floor of the guest house and jumped down through the back window. Then he went out of the courtyard and came to the alley.

"Be careful!" As soon as he poked out of the alley, the thief chief jerked back.

"There's a fire." The rogues who are hidden in the shadows have also discovered clues. The entire Lousang Village is as bright as day!

"What about it?" Someone behind him asked.

"Let the 'bait' come out first." The thief chief has a plan. The so-called bait crowd refers to the bait soldiers. "Sun Tzu" has a saying: "Don't eat the bait, don't stop the teacher." Meaning: a small force to lure the enemy.

"Hmm!" That's why someone learned to bark as a tanuki. Soon, the homeless people walked out of the guest house in twos and threes. Seeing that the lights were like day, they all flinched a little. But they couldn't help but pry each other, and this swarmed out. The streets are bright, but empty.

The displaced people have been around for many days, and there has never been a problem. Presumably, there is a lot of paralysis in the family soldiers. It's late at night again, and people are sleepy. The villagers are asleep, so there is no one in the streets.

Similar situations, they are all too familiar. After a long time of walking on the streets, the homeless people gradually became emboldened. In groups of three or five, they broke away from the brigade and went to nearby homes together.

Seven-story pavilion, Liu Bei and Nudao stand side by side. Liu Bei is short, and he can't talk about being side by side. Fortunately, climb high and look far. Everything in the village is in full view.

Seeing a few homeless people, they took a human ladder and sent one person into the third uncle's house. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

The female Taoist looked sideways and said, "But you are discouraged? ”

"It's not." Liu Bei shook his head: "It's a sigh of relief." Before, I was afraid of hurting the innocent. Now I am not afraid. ”

"I see." The female Taoist muttered: "In this world, who can speak of innocence? ”

Liu Bei only glanced up at her, but did not speak.

Overlooking from a high vantage point, you can see the situation in the village. The large groups of displaced people were broken into small groups along the streets and alleys. took a ladder over the wall to enter the hospital, and after a short time, he opened the door of this courtyard and let his accomplices enter the hospital. Wait for the opportunity to set fire.

And the biggest stream of rogues in the crowd was rushing towards Liu Bei's house.
