At dusk, the lame middle-aged man appeared as scheduled. Just like yesterday, he was carrying a bamboo basket, but the bamboo basket had obviously become heavier.
He was not in a hurry at all. He walked back and forth in front of Li Ye's house twice, then went to sit by the river and wait for dark.
He sat there until he was close to Xu, when the drum sounded, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" and the gate was about to close.
The lame middle-aged man finally got up and came to the back of Li Ye's house. He took out two torches from his backpack, flicked a fire stick, and lit the torch. With a flick of his hand, the two torches landed accurately on the roof of Li Ye's house. The roof was full of
The dry thatch was immediately ignited.
The lame middle-aged man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg. One knee gave out and he knelt down. When he turned around, he saw a tall young man holding a wooden stick appearing behind him.
The lame middle-aged man was so frightened that he jumped up and ran wildly, but was thrown to the ground by Li Ye. At the same time, Zhang Xiaopang, Xiao Huangmao and Wu Jilang came out of the darkness with ropes and wooden sticks.
Rush out.
Li Ye still neglected one thing. He didn't know the details of this cripple. This man's surname was Wei and his nickname was Wei Cripple. However, he was not a cripple. He was just pretending to be lame. Moreover, Wei Cripple was very skilled in martial arts and was a famous thief. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous.
I won't invite him.
Wei Laizi hit Li Ye hard on the chest with an elbow hammer. Even though Li Ye's skin was rough and resistant to blows, he was still knocked over by the elbow. The pain penetrated to the bone marrow and almost broke the bones.
He tried his best to grab Wei Zizi's clothes and pulled hard. Wei Zizi could not stand firmly and was pulled to the ground by him.
"Don't get close to him!" Li Ye shouted. He felt that he was in great danger, and his friends couldn't bear it.
Wei Laizi was really surprised. The force of the elbow strike just now was so severe that most people couldn't bear it. His ribs had long been broken. But this boy was fine and he was still so powerful?
Wei Laizi suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart. He pulled out a gleaming dagger from the backpack beside him and slashed at Li Ye's neck with a swipe of his hand.
Li Ye couldn't dodge, and saw a sword hitting his neck. He had no way to hide. He was so frightened that he lost his mind and screamed secretly, "I'm going to die!"
At the critical moment, a cold light flashed, blood splattered everywhere, Wei Laizi's hand was cut off at the wrist, and the dagger and severed hand flew out.
"ah--"
Wei Laizi screamed miserably, holding his broken wrist and trying to run away. There was another flash of cold light, and a long sword was pressed against his throat. No matter how he tried to hide, the sword was always pressed against his throat.
Knowing that he had met an expert, Wei Laizi sighed, his airway completely deflated, and he fell to his knees on the ground. Then there was a sharp pain in his head and he fainted.
Li Ye was stunned as he watched on the sidelines. The person who saved him was none other than his mother Pei Sanniang. She performed a series of swordsmanship as smoothly as clouds and water. She was like a heroine with strong martial arts skills. She was ruthless and cut off the opponent's hand with a single sword stroke.
Pei Sanniang knocked Wei Laizi unconscious with the hilt of her sword, and snorted coldly at her son, "With your three-legged cat skills, do you think you can deal with such a murderer?"
Li Ye was speechless, and looked back at his three friends. The three of them hugged each other, and they were all frightened.
Pei Sanniang threw a medicine bottle to her son, "Give him a bandage to stop the bleeding, he won't wake up for a while!"
Li Ye quickly applied medicine and bandage to Wei Laizi. The broken hand was bloody and shocking. Zhang Xiaopang and three other people also came to help and tied Wei Laizi's legs tightly with ropes.
At this time, his house was already burning. The neighbors shouted loudly and came to put out the fire with buckets and basins, but they discovered Pei Sanniang and others behind the house.
Aunt Ge was surprised and asked: "Sanniang, Ah Ye, what's going on?"
Pei Sanniang pointed to Wei Laizi on the ground and said: "This murderer set fire to my house, and we caught him!"
When everyone heard that the man lying on the ground was the arsonist, they were furious and rushed to beat him to death.
Pei Sanniang quickly stopped everyone, "Don't do anything, everyone. He has been knocked unconscious. I will report it to the official tomorrow!"
Everyone turned to fetch water to put out the fire. After a while, the fire was put out. The thatched roofs of the three houses were burned down, leaving only four dark mud walls and a kitchen that was safe and sound.
Pei Sanniang rented an empty house in the square. All the horses and valuables were moved away. Aunt Mu was also there.
After everyone had dispersed, Pei Sanniang carried Wei Laizi to Li Ye's room. Only the beams were left above, which was empty. In fact, the burning was not serious, and it could be covered with thatch.
Pei Sanniang said to Li Ye: "Pour a basin of water on him to wake him up!"
Li Ye agreed, quickly went to the yard to get a bucket of well water, and poured it on Wei Laizi's head. Wei Laizi woke up with excitement.
Wei Zizi looked at Pei Sanniang and Li Ye, and finally remembered, "Ah! My hand"
Pei Sanniang stepped forward and slapped her across the face several times, so hard that five teeth flew out and her mouth was filled with blood.
Li Ye really admires me, I am so amazing! I never knew it.
Of course he didn't know, but the person in front of him, Li Ye, had been taught this since he was a child, and his butt was almost broken.
"This stinking breast inside me is so powerful, but now I am humiliating!"
Wei Laizi cursed vaguely, but Li Ye understood, 'You stinky woman, you are so cruel!'
Pei Sanniang turned around and asked Li Ye: "You have read books before, can you still write?"
Li Ye smiled bitterly in his heart. He had studied for a year when he was seven years old. Seven years later, he still asked himself whether he could write. This mother was very generous.
He could only nod, "I can write!"
"I see you bought pen and paper, go get them and prepare to record his confession!"
Li Ye ran to the yard, quietly hid Wei Laizi's dagger, and then rushed to the new rented house to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Pei Sanniang moved her wrists and said coldly: "My father taught me the trick of splitting muscles and crossing bones, but I have never used it. You are lucky today, try the trick of splitting muscles and crossing bones!"
Li Ye came back with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and found that Wei Laizi was dying and almost dying. He looked at his mother as if he was seeing a ghost, and was extremely frightened.
"You write first! He can't speak for the time being."
Pei Sanniang said to Li Ye: "His name is Wei Guang, nicknamed Wei Laizi. He is from Wuli Village, Lanqiao Township, Lantian County. He has no father or mother, no wife and no children. He makes a living by stealing. He has killed three people. The government has offered a reward of 500 yuan for his arrest."
he......."
Li Ye was overjoyed and said quickly: "Since I have five hundred strings, why not just hand him over to the government!"
"no!"
Pei Sanniang categorically objected, "That guy named Hu is so evil. He even wants to burn us to death. I'm not done with him!"
In fact, Li Ye had already written a confession during the day, and what happened was exactly as he planned. Just fill in his name.
Li Ye pressed the fingerprint with Wei Laizi's left hand again, and then waited for dawn.
