That's right, when he was helping the infantrymen wash their clothes, he "conveniently" took something away.
While Gu Yao was cursing secretly in his heart, he had a dry smile on his face: "Boss, this is not considered stealing. After all, once they set foot on the battlefield, they may no longer need the money, so they just use it as a sponsorship for me, a poor poor boy.
"
"You audacious little brat, how many times have I told you not to steal money again! During the Luo Empire, if others knew about this, you, the hateful little thief, would be burned alive. It doesn't matter if you die.
It will also affect the hotel business..."
"It won't be discovered..." Gu Yao interrupted him with a smile: "You know I am always cautious when I start. Those careless infantrymen who are so drunk that they don't even remember which leg they use to walk on are waking up.
After arriving, they won't even notice that there are a few coins missing from their pockets. They will just think that they spent them while drinking or at Tianxiang Tower. Besides, they will embark on the battlefield tomorrow, and whether they can come back is still a question."
"Humph, you'd better be careful!" Fei Tan said coldly, but instead of blaming Gu Yao, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Old rules!"
"I know, I know! Fifty-five cents!" Gu Yao muttered, opening his palms, and there were six silver coins inside.
"Well, six silver coins, fifty-five cents..." Gu Yao put three silver coins in Feitan's hand, and the muscles on his face twitched with pain: "Oh, boss, it's so unfair.
You worked so hard and risked your life to get it, and you took half of it without doing anything."
Feitan's hand didn't take back, it was still fixed in mid-air.
Gu Yao said dissatisfied: "Boss, do you still want to get 40 or 60 points? That's not possible. I risked my life to get this!"
Feitan said solemnly: "You know it yourself."
Gu Yao was stunned: "What do you know?"
Feitan raised his cigarette pole with a groan: "It seems that I need my old friend to tell you."
"Don't! Don't!" Gu Yao covered his head and took out another gold coin from his arms. His movements just now were already very fast. He was a new learner. I don't know how Fei Tan saw it.
This old guy's eyes are really poisonous!
The performance just now was in vain, it was in vain that I was so devoted, hey!
"There are really only so many, boss, I won't lie to you!" Gu Yao cursed secretly as he spoke. He is such a miser, so generous at the gambling table, but so stingy to his employees.
Feitan didn't have any doubts this time. He put the gold coin in his arms, took out two silver coins from the counter, and gave them back to Gu Yao along with the previous six silver coins: "Good guy, even the gold coins, you
This kid is getting bolder and bolder."
Gu Yao laughed dryly: "It's okay. I checked just now. There are a total of eighteen gold coins, thirty-two silver coins, and fifteen copper coins left in the pockets of the two infantrymen. You have to calculate how much one plus one equals.
They were missing a few coins in the first half minute that they won’t remember.”
At that moment, he actually found out the details of the infantry's coins. This is the skill of a thief!
Thieves are not considered a profession, at least not certified by the guild. They are just a group of people who are hated by everyone like rats crossing the street, and everyone calls for beatings. However, for the convenience of naming, people still give this group of guys the title of thieves.
It is also considered one of the default professions.
What thieves like to do most is to steal property, but what they steal is not only property, but also secrets, ranging from personal privacy such as adultery and corruption to political conspiracies.
Therefore, thieves are a very hateful character. They have almost no friends, because even the people closest to them are afraid that their secrets will be known to others.
Thieves do not become friends with each other. They are usually just partners. They use each other's strengths to work together in order to steal some difficult treasures or information. After that, they become strangers because they do not dare to trust each other.
other side.
This is a thief, always living in a dark corner, hiding from the light, alerting others all day long, and being alerted by others.
During the Luo Empire, thieves who were caught were burned alive in public.
"Hmph, you don't want to do anything serious, but you want to be a thief!"
Feitan cursed and walked away, leaving Gu Yao alone.
Looking at his hands, Gu Yao was speechless.
To be honest, even he didn't understand why he became the most despised thief.
Perhaps it's because of the world's forces.
This world is a place full of swords and magic, called Cady Land.
Since the collapse of the Roo Empire, the most powerful empire in human history three thousand years ago, the continent of Cady has fallen into a state of chaos and disorder.
Many lords and nobles still guard the territories that belonged to them before the empire was disintegrated. They are traditional powerful people; some famous families encircle the territory and recruit talented people to become the hegemons of one party; those who think they can get a share of the troubled times
The strong ones were not willing to lag behind, established cities or gangs, and joined the ranks of carving up the continent.
Today, the Kadi continent has been divided into countless large and small forces.
And those weak people are under the jurisdiction of various forces, protected and ruled.
For example, Shili Town, where Gu Yao is located, is a border town under the influence of Chiyan City in the east-central part of the country, adjacent to Ice City.
Both Chiyan City and Ice City are small third-level cities, typical of the nouveau riche after the disintegration of the Luo Empire. The ancestors of the two city lords were strong men who cultivated fire fighting spirit and ice fighting spirit. After the empire disintegrated,
He quickly established his own power by force. Unfortunately, the two ancestral city lords clashed while expanding their territory, and they were as incompatible as their respective grudges, so the friction never stopped.
Hundreds of years of hatred have caused each descendant of the two city lords to inherit the teachings of their ancestors and continue to fight each other. In the past ten years, there has been an escalation trend. They have continuously recruited troops and rushed to the frontier, causing the people under their jurisdiction to be in panic and miserable all day long.
Gu Yao's father was forcibly drafted into the army on Gu Yao's fifth birthday, and died in a battle not long after.
The day after the bad news came, his mother hanged herself, and Gu Yao became an orphan, one of the countless orphans who lost their parents due to the unnecessary war between the Red Flame Lord and the Ice Lord.
Fortunately, Gu Yao was very strong and managed to survive on wild fruits, vegetables, bark, grass roots, and leftovers discarded by others.
Because his mother repeatedly said something to him the night before hanging: "Yao'er, no matter what happens, you must live and live well!"
Gu Yao didn't know what the meaning of living like him was, but he had never disobeyed his mother's words, let alone her last words.
While struggling to survive, Gu Yao gradually understood this cruel world.
Only the strong, in this chaotic world, can use their own hands to change life and enjoy its splendor, instead of being teased by the sad fate like their parents.
The death of his parents made Gu Yao desire to become a strong man!
It's a pity that everything backfired. Even if Gu Yao died, he never expected to become one of the thieves. Although he didn't admit it, what he was doing now was indeed in line with all the characteristics of that dirty profession.
One day when he was seven years old, in a small village suffering from famine, Gu Yao couldn't find any edible wild fruit tree bark, nor could he get any leftovers. He was hungry for two whole days, and he really couldn't stand it.
At this time he met a soldier.
In normal times, Gu Yao would have stayed away from these guys holding weapons, but that day he didn't know if he had eaten leopard gall, or was too hungry and saw the soldier's half-exposed money.
Bag, his heart beat with uncontrollable desire.
In the end, he couldn't control his strong thoughts, and when he passed by the soldier, he put his hand into his pocket, even though he knew very well what the consequences would be if he was discovered.
The whole process was smooth and neat. Even though it was his first time stealing money, Gu Yao felt that he had experienced this process thousands of times and it was so familiar.
Five gold coins and more than ten silver coins went into his pocket at once. It was the largest fortune Gu Yao had ever obtained in his life. What's more, it was easy and effortless.
After he succeeded, Gu Yao was extremely excited, but also a little scared, but he fell deeply in love with the inexplicable excitement. It was not just a yearning for gold coins, as if it was his nature.
After living comfortably for a few months with the stolen money, Gu Yao reached out to the second person, and the third person...
Each small fortune, together with each thrill and joy, Gu Yao savored carefully, and indulged in the unparalleled pleasure like a drug.
Gu Yao's theft skills are also improving day by day in practice. No one teaches him, but he can always learn by himself without a teacher. Those extremely complicated micro-operations feel very familiar to him, as if he was born to be a thief.
If a person had a past life, Gu Yao was sure that he must have been a thief, a clever thief, in his previous life.
