Chapter 247 The Scaleless Young Master (1)

"Does the general mean that we have to pay for it with our lives?" Boss Liu said very disappointed.

"Now it seems that that is not necessary!" The general pondered for a moment and said frankly, "I never thought you would have these treasures before. It seems that you are not ordinary mortals. Since you have such a special fate, to be honest, we

I can't deal with the two treasures in your hands! However, no one can stand without faith, and the underworld is no exception. Since I promised them in front of my soldiers that you will pay a price of a hundred heads, please don't make it difficult for me.

That’s good!”

We were all stunned: on the one hand, he said that he no longer wanted us to sacrifice our lives, but on the other hand, he still wanted a hundred heads. This made us confused. We didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

?

"Ha, it seems you haven't figured it out yet. A hundred heads is not a difficult task for you, but that doesn't mean you have to pay for it with your lives!" the Yin soldier general reminded.

"Oh, I understand. What the general means is that these one hundred heads can also belong to other people? For example, people from the island country?" Xiao Li was really responsive and asked tentatively.

"That's right, at the beginning I only said that you would pay a price of one hundred heads, but I didn't say that it must be yours!"

Our eyes suddenly lit up, and Boss Liu said gratefully: "Thank you, General, for your flexibility! We will rebuild Suzaku Camp as soon as possible and present a hundred Japanese heads."

Later, with the help of local people, the Suzaku Camp was quickly built, and the 318th Regiment also obtained a hundred heads of dead Japanese soldiers from the battlefield, and finally solved the matter without any danger.

Now, our group, especially the five of us, has a great reputation in Suzaku City, and is well known to everyone!

As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong." No, this is not true. We had just solved the troubles of the Yin soldiers, and before the celebration banquet was over, Mr. Zhu asked the group leader to let us help.

"Mr. Zhu has been of great help to us this time, especially for presiding over the rebuilding of Suzaku Camp. He has done a lot of hard work. If you have anything to say, Mr. Zhu, please speak up without being polite. We will never refuse if we can do it!" the leader said very generously.

explain.

"Okay, okay, thank you, captain, I have something to tell you directly!" Mr. Zhu bowed his hands towards the captain, looked at us and said with a smile, "This time I want to trouble Commander Liu and the others to help.

I’ll catch a thief and make the people nearby feel more at ease!”

After listening to what Mr. Zhu said, we all laughed so loudly that we almost spit out our wine: If we were asked to handle such a trivial matter, wouldn't it be equivalent to hitting a grave with an anti-aircraft gun?

"Ha, I'm telling you, old man, although this is a war era and Zhuque City is under military control, there is no need for these five heroes to take matters into their own hands for such a trivial matter. Tomorrow I will send a squad of soldiers to handle this matter for you!"

He smiled and agreed.

"No, this matter has to be done by Battalion Commander Liu and the others themselves. Ordinary people may not be able to do anything about it!" Mr. Zhu quickly pleaded, "The thief I mentioned appears often, although it is not serious.

But no one dares to arrest me, so I have to ask Battalion Commander Liu and the others!"

"Oh? He appears often but no one dares to catch him? Is that thief able to fly over walls and climb over walls, and has great martial arts skills? Don't worry, no matter how good his martial arts are, he can't stop a bullet!" the group leader said confidently.

.

"It's not about the thief's skill, but that he is a ghost thief! So we don't dare to catch the ghost thief. Most people really don't dare to catch the ghost thief!" The old man finally told the truth.

"Ghost thief? What does ghost thief mean? Old sir, are you saying that the thief is not a person at all?" Boss Liu interjected and asked.

"Well, I can't figure out whether he is a human or a ghost. The ghost thief is very scary. Some time ago, our Zhu Laosan was so bold and unbelieving that he followed the thief quietly, trying to catch him, but ended up with

When they arrived at a grave, the thing disappeared, and Zhu Laosan was so frightened that he never dared to mention the thief again!"

The five of us were all aroused by the old gentleman's words. We had heard of the great thief and the masterful thief before, and they all called them "magic thieves"; but this was the first time we had heard of such things as "ghost thieves".

explain.

"Old sir, please tell me first what happened to the ghost thief. If he is really a ghost, how can you, the famous gods and demi-immortals of Suzaku City, still be able to subjugate him?" Boss Liu asked.

"Ahem, let me tell you about it first!" Mr. Zhu then told the whole story of the theft: It has been more than half a year since now. At that time, the neighbors were always throwing away some live chickens and ducks.

Although it is not a valuable object, it still makes people feel troubled.

What's even more outrageous is that almost every house is robbed, but no one has seen the thief, let alone caught him.

Because my family also throws away some poultry items from time to time, I arranged for my three sons to take turns staying overnight to see who was so rampant.

On the third night, the thief visited my house as expected. Since I didn't have enough sleep, I couldn't sleep anyway, so I and my youngest son turned off the lights and sat in the house waiting.

In the middle of the night, a figure appeared in my yard. According to the pre-arranged countermeasures, I asked my younger son to quietly call his two brothers. I first watched the thief from the window.

Under the moonlight, the thief, wearing a long-sleeved shroud, walked lightly to the chicken coop in the corner of the courtyard, grabbed two chickens and walked out.

Unfortunately, before he could be discharged from the hospital, my three sons rushed out with shovels and sticks, ready to catch the chicken thief. I also opened the door quickly, wanting to see what this nasty thief looked like.

When the thief saw someone coming out, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he stopped and turned around slowly.

To be honest, I have lived so old and do not believe in ghosts and gods. I am also a thief. This thief is probably just pretending to be a ghost to scare people. Before he turned around, I thought he was just a cunning person.

The thief deliberately wore a dead man's shroud in order to cover his eyes and ears.

However, the moment he turned around, we were all so frightened that our hands and feet were weak, and we stayed there in a daze, watching helplessly as he jumped onto the courtyard wall and walked away.

Because the thief not only wore a shroud for the dead and had long hair, but also from a close distance, we could see clearly that his face was pale and stiff, without any trace of the breath of a living person.

I don't think it's possible to fake that kind of look that only a dead person has.

Hey, I can’t explain exactly what it is like, but it makes people feel panicked when they see it. It’s not just that one or two families have seen him. Later, many people also saw him in the night, but no one saw him.

No one is afraid!

Because that ghost thief only stole chickens, ducks and live poultry, and never stole other things, so later on, some people even tied two chickens outside the door every month. It was time to honor him and avoid it.

He went into the hospital and disturbed his family.

Upon hearing this, Boss Liu first asked: "Mr., do you mean that this thief doesn't steal other things besides live chickens and ducks? And how many times does he steal every month?"

"Yes, so I said the harm is not very great, but it always makes people worried and uneasy, and they go door to door once or twice a month. According to the previous situation, it will be another turn tonight.

Arrive at my house!"

What the old gentleman said is magical, just like the government officials collect rent and tax, they don’t steal too much and don’t steal anything. Is there really such a kind of thief in the world? He will distribute it equally, not just steal from one family!

"The way I see it, we will go to the old gentleman's house tonight to try it out. We want to see these weird thieves in person!" Boss Liu agreed.

"One more thing, you guys should pay attention. It may not be a thief who did it. You should try not to alert the snake. It's best to follow him to see what's going on and handle it nicely!" the group leader added.

.

"Well, old sir, you can also put two chickens in the yard opposite the wing tonight, and there is no need to close the door. This will make it easier for us to follow him. We will wait for him in your wing. If you insist.

Why don't we follow him to his lair and have a look?" Boss Liu agreed with the leader's suggestion and decided to eradicate the problem and catch the thieves.

When it was time in the evening, Mr. Liu led a few of us to wait in the wing of the old gentleman's house. Unfortunately, it was cloudy tonight and there was no moonlight, so we could not see the situation clearly clearly.

At midnight, as expected, a vague figure came in from the door. His long sleeves were wide and his clothes were flowing. He was dressed like a shroud.

The man didn't look around, but walked straight in. Suddenly he saw two chickens tied together in the open space in the courtyard. He grabbed a chicken's neck with one hand as if it were his own thing, picked it up and turned around.

Walk.

We have seen thieves and come into contact with robbers before, but this is the first time we have seen a thief so arrogantly taking other people's things as if they were his own!

Because the night was dark, we couldn't see his face clearly, and we couldn't tell whether he was a human or a ghost.

After the man walked out of the gate, Boss Liu raised his head and motioned for us to follow him with guns.

In order to avoid being discovered by the thief, we followed him carefully, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from him.

The thief walked out of Mr. Zhu's house and walked westward. He passed by many houses along the way without stopping, let alone taking advantage of them. This made me even more curious: Are there really such righteous thieves in this world?

?Only take two at a time, and as long as the living creatures are not greedy for gold or silver?

As we left the residential area to the west, the road became rugged, and the surrounding area became even more deserted and desolate. In order to avoid losing the thief, Mr. Liu signaled us to speed up our pace and follow closely!

After walking west for a while, there were some high and low tombs in front of us. It seemed that this thief was either not a human being, or he was a very weird guy! Did we meet another heretical person? Otherwise, what would a normal person do?

Maybe live here?

Because Mr. Zhu had said beforehand that someone followed him to the cemetery and suddenly disappeared, so Mr. Liu quickly fired a shot into the air and shouted loudly: "Stop! Otherwise, he will be shot to death!"

Because Boss Liu's move was too sudden, the thief in front was caught off guard and froze for a moment!

A few of us ran towards him quickly, firing the bolts of our guns as a deterrent! At the same time, Boss Liu, who was rushing in front, turned on the lights and pointed them at him.

When we ran to a distance of more than ten feet away from him, the five of us pointed our guns at him. No matter he was a human, a ghost, or a monster, as long as he dared to be a little presumptuous, he would be knocked out of his wits within a few shots!

Under the light, the man was wearing a shroud, his hair was disheveled, his face was pale and bloodless, he didn't look like a living person at all!

With a "plop", the two chickens in the man's hands fell to the ground and screamed! The thief seemed to be relieved. He lowered his hands and said quietly: "You guys, please beat me to death!"

The rest of us were greatly surprised. We originally thought he might be begging for mercy on his knees or using some sorcery. Unexpectedly, he was so relieved that he let us kill him!

"Tell me, you are just a sneaky kid, why are you pretending to be a ghost and running into this cemetery?" Boss Liu asked the other party majestically.

There was a moment of silence, and a moment of dumbfounded silence. The thief suddenly went limp and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, you kid, do you still want to pretend to be dead?" Dasha's brother went up and kicked him. Dasha's strong kick made the thief scream in pain.

Needless to say, this thief is indeed a human being and not a ghost!

"Tell me the truth, who is your boy's name and where does he live? Why did he only steal chickens and ducks? Why did he come to this cemetery?" Xiao Li asked a series of questions.

"No need to ask, just give me a good time and shoot me to death!" the thief replied while groaning.

What a strange thing! Although a thief like this is despised by others, his crime will not lead to death. What's more, the ant is still greedy for life, so why does he want to die again and again? After all, it is better to live than to die!

"It's easy to die quickly! But you have to answer my question first, otherwise, huh, I'll peel off your skin and cramps, chop off your hands and feet, and slowly torture you to death!" Brother Li deliberately pretended to be vicious to scare you.

he.
