Chapter 3: The Thief
Tang Moen nodded and said, "Hey, it's thi,"
Elsewhere the tear bamboo are mostly black spots, the soil quality of the nine miles of Feihuazhai is different, the tear bamboo spots produced are mostly reddish-brown, tied into a bamboo row soaked in the water, very eye-catching, the owner of the broken boat is scolding without strength, the three bamboo rows of the Tang Gate go downstream, the red spots dye the river blue, look at the bright color from afar, hold up more as if the water is on fire, he looked at it, he knew that they and hit their own boat this raft is all the way, when he boarded, his eyes were round, jumping feet, waving the broken fishing net in his hand, chasing along the coast, roaring:" Dog's day, stand down, stand down, pay Lao Tzu money,"
Tang Moxian heard him scolding, and he also became angry and said: "The row is rushed by the mountain stream, and it crashed your boat, don't you want to do it, why don't you rely on our heads," his body was fat, and his body trembled when the fire started, and the bamboo row was pressed so that the fan creaked,
"It's so old, it's old, why bother about this," Tang Moen persuaded and pressed, calmed the eldest brother, touched a piece of silver and shook his hand and threw it away, which was considered compensation, the shipowner was still hit by a stone, squatted down and sighed, but was hit in the head, and when he found that it was silver that fell to the ground, he hurriedly grabbed it, and said with a smile: "A turtle son is a good treasure, the fire is up, and the silver is beaten,"
He squatted down, his hand stopped dancing, Chen Sheng immediately saw that what he was holding was not a broken fishing net, but a black veil, his heart moved slightly, seeing that the shore was not too far away, he jumped up on tiptoe, landed on the shore and beachhead, and rushed towards the owner of the boat,
As soon as the owner of the boat saw it, he turned around and ran, and was caught up and hooked to the ground in two steps, he stuffed the silver into his mouth, and Uriwu Tu shouted: "The turtle has come to regret it, and Lao Tzu is old," Chen Sheng grabbed the black yarn and looked at it carefully, and felt more and more familiar, and asked: "Where did this yarn come from?" The shipowner glared at him with his cheeks puffed out, and confirmed that he was not here to ask for silver, and he was relieved a lot, covering his mouth and muttering: "Scraping on your row,"
The three bamboo rows in the river slid out of the distance, and finally held up, Tang Moxian waved his hand and asked what was going on,
Chen Sheng brushed aside the green reeds, turned around and shouted, "Did anyone see the fourth girl this morning?"
The Tang brothers looked at each other, they all shook their heads, they came out in a hurry in the morning, how could they go up to look at their relatives, only to see Chen Shengyi shake the black yarn in his hand, and shouted: "The bamboo row may have been propped out by her last night, I'll look for it, let's meet downstream,,"
Tang Moxian made a gesture to show that he understood, and his subordinates stood up, Chang Sihao looked at the shore and went away, thinking back to the scene when he set off, and thought: " Judging from the face of the servant by the waterway, he should be very loyal, if the bamboo row is not washed away by the mountain stream, it must be stolen, there are five bamboo rows, if Qin Menghuan holds out one, then who is the other one who holds it up, it is not the pair of men and women in the rain last night, but, they are chasing each other, they should each hold one away, why are there three left, if the chase is tighter, they get on the same bamboo row, then it is not to fight a person on his back, how can no one find out," I couldn't guess for a while, and I drifted out of two meals, only to see a bamboo row obliquely in the aquatic grass along the coast, red spots and rust, looking at the shape of the other one,
Tang Moen pointed out: "Da Grasshopper, it's our platoon Thi, do you want to go ashore to see it?"
Tang Moxian said: "You will live, no one will pick up what no one wants, let it," Tang Moen stopped talking, bored for a long time, saw the picturesque landscapes on both sides of the strait, and did not know the end of the road, and asked his subordinates: "Where is this old," the man replied: "About...... Chongqing Prefecture boundary, "The Tang brothers have been taken into hiding by their grandmother since they were children, and they are not very familiar with geography, and when they hear the name of "Chongqing Prefecture" at this moment, they only have a slight concept, Tang Moen asked: "How far is it from Meishan," the person who supported the pen has been working in Tangmen for a long time, and rarely goes out, scratching his head and saying: "About ...... One hundred and twenty miles, one hundred and fifty or six miles, or ...... **ten miles," Tang Moen couldn't help frowning when he heard him say vaguely, and when he saw a small ferry in front of him, he beckoned to stop and went ashore to inquire about the road.
There was an old man selling tea at the ferry, and pointed out with a smile: "Meishan wow, you have gone through the old man, and you can drive back seven or eight miles,"
Tang Moen grinned and pulled the bitter gourd face back, Tang Moxian slapped him on the head and said, "It's not earlier to ask for directions," Tang Moen didn't dare to reply, but there was a "grunt" sound in his stomach, Tang Moxian scolded again: "Look at you, knock on the head, but the stomach rings, it's not a rice bucket," everyone felt funny when they heard it, Tang Moen looked down at him, and muttered: "How can it compare to you, the bucket is so thick, it rings inside, and the sound can't come out," Chang Sihao didn't dare to be happy when he heard it, thinking that these two brothers-in-law were like children,
Tang Moen felt hungry, and suddenly thought that Chang Sihao and the others hurriedly came out, and they didn't eat breakfast, and they felt indebted, so they suggested finding a nearby place to buy some food first, Xiaolin Zongqing said: "There are no barren mountains and wild mountains around here, there is nothing to eat, seven or eight miles is not far, let's go to Meishan and talk about it," Chang Sihao also agreed, it was difficult to support the platoon against the current, so everyone abandoned the platoon and went ashore, looking for a way to turn back to the north, Chang Sihao had an injury on his leg, he wanted to let the Tang brothers and Kobayashi Zongqing take the Tang men to go first, but Li Shuangji squatted on his back, and the two long legs were thrown away, although he was a little behind, the speed was not weak,
Chang Sihao saw that he ran up all by physical strength, and couldn't help but breathe, so he pointed out his pace and breathing points on his back, Li Shuangji is a real person, listening to his ears, thinking in his heart, the body has brought the essentials, just in line with the essence of the martial arts center and Yihe, plus the congenital bones, the limbs are long, the heavenly machine walks away, the more he runs, the more he runs, the more he wants to run, and then the big crotch is thrown up like an iron bucket flying around, striding like a giant rhino across the stream, smooth to the extreme, grinning loudly, the speed has increased sharply, but rushed to the front, the Tang brothers and Kobayashi Zongqing and others looked straight at the eyes,
Seven or eight miles of road said that the short is not short, said that the long is not long, after a short time, Meishan County is already in sight, Li Shuangji ran smoothly, saw the city gate did not know how to slow down, straight hook rushed in, shocked the two streets of baskets rolling to the ground, chickens flying around, Chang Sihao said: "Okay," patted on his shoulder, his figure floated, gently landed, looking back, Xiaolin Zongqing and the Tang brothers also arrived together, Tang Moxian held his stomach and gasped, and said: "Your follower doesn't look good, I didn't expect to work lightly to turn the black murderer, [black murderer: very powerful]" At this time, the servants of the Tang Gate also arrived, Tang Mo Enyan said that the old house was not far from the west of the county, and it was too late to go after eating, and when he saw a restaurant on the front street, he slapped his clothes and pulled Chang Sihao up, and sat down on the window platform on the second floor.
Li Shuangji took his sleeves as a handkerchief, wiped it around his head, and said: "I'm sweating when I run, why are you so dry," Kobayashi Zongqing smiled: "To put it bluntly, light skills are a kind of skill to speed up and reduce consumption in running, although it can surpass ordinary people, but there are still limitations,"
Li Shuangji: "What's the limit,"
Anyway, waiting for the food is also idle, Kobayashi Zongqing explained, animals survive in the wilderness, whether it is hunting or escaping, they need to increase the speed to the limit in the shortest possible time, but the speed will bring temperature, to be fast must be cooled, animals have a set of self-cooling methods, generally speaking, it is by accelerating the flow of blood, bringing heat to all parts of the body to dissipate, human beings also have this kind of problem, the same human body, muscles, bones and muscles are roughly similar, ordinary people run up and exhale through the opening and closing of the lungs to dissipate heat, which belongs to strengthening the air cooling on the basis of blood cold, at most the potential can only be exerted two or three percent, and the blood of martial arts practitioners is vigorousPart of the heat is dissipated outward through the skin, and part of it is converging inward into the bones, the skin and flesh are afraid of heat, but the bones like heat, and they are steamed by the blood, which can not only reduce the burden of temperature for the body, but also nourish themselves, and it is to kill two birds with one stone, and the potential of speed can be further improved.
Li Shuangji said: "When ordinary people run, the bones can't help dissipate heat," Xiaolin Zongqing said: "Yes, but it doesn't help much, blood and qi, where it is used, go wherever it goes, ordinary people do things with muscle brute force, muscles and bones have not been fully developed, and you are not very used to it, and when the muscles and bones are used more, the blood and qi will not transpirate in the muscles, and the sweating will naturally become less," Li Shuangji was not interested in these martial arts theories, and shook his chin and said: "This is troublesome, it is better to learn from a dog, stick out your tongue and run, everything is solved, ”
Chang Sihao looked out the window at the scenery, downstairs is a commercial street, there are noodle tea stalls and ready-to-wear shops on both sides, and then the stalls are connected to each other, fruits and fresh fruits, vegetable ornaments, everything, shouting, but also lively, his eyes swept between the crowded heads, thinking: "Qin Menghuan left the Tang Gate, and went to find Yan Linyuan, I don't know if Brother Chen caught up with her at this time,"
Most of the people shopping on the street looked east and west, his steps were slow, he looked aimlessly, but suddenly felt a little abrupt, his mind turned, and he immediately focused on a person,
The man came from the north wearing a wide-sleeved floral shirt, retrograde in the crowd, idle, and when he was stared at by Chang Sihao, he was squeezing through the gap between the two people, and when he touched it, the small jade fan hanging on the waist of one of them was only half a red rope.
Chang Sihao immediately understood: "It's a thief,"
I saw the man in the flower shirt smiling and comparing the jade fan on his waist, as if he felt good, took it in his hand, and continued to move forward, and saw that there were four or five girls next to him picking up jewelry at the jewelry stall, and also leaned over, pointing east and west, I don't know what to say, the original hesitant expressions of the girls suddenly became hearty, nodded and laughed, and took out their purses to start, and the shopkeeper was also full of joy, when the man in the flower shirt stood up, the jade fan in his hand had become a beaded bracelet,
He put the beads on his fingers, shook and walked, took a few steps and straightened to look at the sun, seemed to be very satisfied, then there was a group of children on the street giggling, chasing in circles under the legs of adults, he stopped and looked, with a smile on his face, his left hand was back, shaking his head and not knowing what to chant, leaning back, smiling at the fruit stall owner next to him, and pointing forward with his right hand to the children, as if to say: "Look, how naughty these children are," The fruit stall owner looked at the child, and nodded with a smile, and the man in the flower shirt continued to move forward, his left hand came forward, and his sleeve faded, and there was already a big apple in his hand.
Chang Sihao walked on the rivers and lakes, and experienced a lot, so clearly observed that the thief stealing was still the first to suffer, and thought: "He also wants worthless fruits, so it can be seen that he likes to take sheep when he is used to stealing things,"
I saw that the man walked forward while wiping the apple, and a little girl tripped and fell to the ground among the children who were playing, and the little friends laughed when they saw her falling, and clapped their hands in a circle around her, and scattered in a hurry, the little girl saw that no one sympathized with her, and immediately felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, and the man in the flower shirt approached and squatted down, and shook the apple in his hand in front of her nose with a smile, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and raised her eyes to look at him, the man in the flower shirt showed the height in his hand, and drew two lines under his eyes, as if to signal that if she stood up and didn't cry, he would give her the apple,
The little girl looked at him with the apple, stretched out her little hand, and pointed to the string of beads on his right wrist.
The man in the flower shirt shrank down with an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise, as if to say, "You are so greedy," The little girl's face was red, pursed her lips and smiled, the man in the flower shirt was happy, he scraped her nose with an apple, and patted her right hand on her head, the little girl's eyes blinked slightly, and when she opened it again, the beads had rolled down her forehead and hung on her neck, she was very happy, and her body got up, and the man took her little hand, and put her on his shoulder, and the little girl just lowered her head and touched the beads to play, and sat on his shoulder, like an obedient parrot.
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "This guy is still a kidnapper," his eyes stared at him well, his five fingers clasped the tea bowl, and he was ready to wait for this person to throw out and smash him when he walked downstairs, and save the girl, only to see the man walking around in the market, and after a while, he stole two pieces of sugar cakes, a handful of peanuts, and three or five slices of thin crisp, all of which were carried into his arms, and finally went to the noodle tea stall to put the girl down, asked for a bowl of noodle tea, divided it into two bowls, took out the sugar cake and tore it into strips and soaked it, and rubbed the peanuts into skins. Thin crisp crushed, and into the noodle tea, give the girl a bowl, a bowl of yourself,
Sweets are mixed into the noodle tea, and the sugar spreads in the soup, making the sweetness stronger, the little girl drank very happily, the man in the flower shirt looked at her and couldn't stop laughing, and he also picked up the noodle bowl and raised his head to drink,
Just as the bowl fell, Chang Sihao suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his eyes,
