Chapter 1172 - There Are Thieves
Jumping the ring of fire, swallowing the sword, breaking a boulder in the chest, invulnerability, etc.
It can be said that each of them requires some real skills to perform, and it is all dangerous, and the slightest carelessness may lead to death, so the people around them are applauding, and from time to time throwing rewards into the hands of the little girl holding the basket.
On the other hand, he stared intently at the sword swallowing performance, wanting to see how such a long sword was completely swallowed into his stomach, especially when he saw the sword blade glowing with cold light, he even sweated.
Even Shen Xiangmiao clenched her fists.
In contemporary times, swallowing swords is mostly a trick to cover the eyes, but it is just a retractable long sword, pretending to swallow it, but in fact it is only in the mouth, giving people the illusion that the long sword has been swallowed.
But in ancient times, even if the craftsmanship was exquisite, it was very difficult to create a telescopic long sword, and it was even more difficult to find a lot of money, and the sword swallowing performed at this time was also a real swallowing sword in the mouth, through the throat, to the esophagus.
Theoretically, people raise their heads, mouth, throat, and esophagus in a straight line, and can swallow long strips of hard objects into the mouth, but it requires extremely exquisite skills, and it requires the courage of the artist, and this long sword has a sharp blade, and it requires extremely superb skills.
Therefore, Shen Xiangmiao sighed in her heart, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
Shui Su is naturally also watching, but in the end, he is a secret guard, and he has to watch and listen to all directions, and this gaze is naturally not only on this sword-swallowing performance, but also pays attention to the surrounding movements by the way.
The people around were bustling, all of them were engrossed in the sword-swallowing performance, and they even watched with bated breath as the sword in the man's hand became shorter and shorter.
But among them, there are also some people who don't pay attention to the swallowing sword, but are busy with other things.
Like the hand that reaches into someone's waist.
And Shui Su also noticed that the hand looked small, not like an adult's hand, but a child's hand, but although the hand was small, it was very flexible, and it was very easy to untie the purse on the person's waist, and the person didn't notice it at all.
Shui Su subconsciously snorted coldly.
Shen Xiangmiao noticed the strangeness of Shui Su: "What's wrong?" ”
"Childe." Shui Su lowered his body slightly, leaned into Shen Xiangmiao's ear and said: "There are thieves here, the son needs to pay attention to some things, the land of right and wrong, do you want to stay soon." ”
"In broad daylight, someone is stealing, and he is bold." Shen Xiangmiao laughed.
"It's not just boldness, the subordinates can see clearly, that person is a child, and his hands and feet are very flexible." Shui Su said, paused slightly, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly: "It seems that there is more than one person here." ”
"Oh?" Shen Xiangmiao followed Shui Su's gaze, and sure enough, she saw two children, squeezing into the crowd.
Juggling is more exciting at this time, and it is common for children to want to squeeze in, after all, they are small and can't see it, and they want to squeeze to the front to see it clearly.
But the two children drilled along the cracks of the people, and paused from time to time, and soon they went out again, but it could be seen that the child's chest was slightly bulging, and it was evident that he had hidden the stolen purse and money bag in his bosom.
This made Shen Xiangmiao frown.
If there is only one child here to steal someone else's purse, then it is fine, at most, it is a feeling that he is not on the right path at a young age, but this is not a person, and these children are obviously well-trained, and it is not the first time to make a move.
This has to make people think about it a lot.
Shen Xiangmiao often heard and saw some news and reports in modern times, and in reality, she has seen some abducted children, who are forced to sell, beg or steal on the streets, but the money they get in the end is completely handed over to the so-called "managers".
Isn't it these children who are stealing purses here are also being forced and controlled......
Shen Xiangmiao, who grew up in an orphanage since childhood, knew that she had seen too many miserable experiences of those poor and helpless children before they were sent to the orphanage, and she was originally embarrassed by this, but now when she sees such a scene again, when she thinks of these possibilities, her heart is becoming more and more dull.
"Catch up and take a look." Shen Xiangmiao said and raised her foot.
"Yes." Susu hurried to follow.
The master and servant, almost one in front of the other, followed the two children closely, but they did not dare to follow too closely, lest they find out, and naturally they did not dare to follow too far, lest they should be lost in such a busy city.
In this way, not far or close, unhurried to follow, only to see the two children, to the non-stop, only brisk along the Qianmen Street all the way forward, only to a fork in the alley, the fork also came out of the two children of the same age as their two children, the four of them looked at each other and smiled, and then there was talk and laughter, jumping forward.
This walk is a straight out of the city.
Chongzhou Mansion is not big, and the people live densely, go to the outside of the city, there are a few villages, but most of them are not big, more is a large area of cultivated land at a glance.
At this time, it was the beginning of May, and the wheat in the wheat field had already pulled ears and bloomed, and it looked vigorous.
The four children, when they came out of the city, seemed to become more and more lively, sometimes picking up a stone by the roadside and throwing it in its place, sometimes pinching a morning glory by the roadside, and sometimes pinching a grass in their mouths.
In short, they have the innocence and playfulness of children, and they seem to be no different from children on weekdays at this time, and when they steal things, they are almost like two people.
One of them, on a whim, reached out to pinch the ear of wheat that had not yet grown all the seeds, but as soon as the hand came out, one of the eldest children "snapped" the palm of the hand, and even said something.
The child who was about to pinch the ears of wheat suddenly stopped, his face was full of shame, and he only stayed there for a while, and he didn't want to pay for it or what he did, so he held hands again and walked forward happily.
It's as if nothing happened at all.
These children......
Seeing such a scene, Shen Xiangmiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and her steps even slowed down a little.
Could it be ......
Shen Xiangmiao lowered her head and thought, but her footsteps did not stop, until she noticed that there was almost a figure in front of her, she raised her head, and saw the four children, who were looking at her vigilantly.
"Who are you, what are you going to do after following us all the way?" The tall one at the head asked.
The voice is loud and righteous.
