Chapter 101 The encounter in the city (2)

These stone lions are extremely exquisitely carved, and you can tell at a glance that they are not cheap. I guess the cost of this stone lion alone is enough for me for many days, so I found a house with the largest stone lion and stole it tonight.

After walking a few steps along the courtyard wall, he was thinking about what to do next. According to the successful cases in the film and television dramas, the standard configuration of a thief should be to wear a black night clothes and cover his face with a black cloth, and then he could fly up the wall with just a slight lift of his foot.

Unfortunately, I am penniless now and have no money to buy such a suit. I looked down at the clothes I was wearing. The red silk was printed with golden copper coins, and each copper coins were as big as a pancake. It was a bit funny to wear such clothes to be a thief, but I had no other way now, so I could only make do with it.

As for flying up to the wall, it would be even more irrelevant. I am a master now, but facing this five or six-meter-high courtyard wall, I can't fly up at all. At most, I just climb up.

I looked to the left and right sides. There was no one in the alley, so I took a few steps back carefully, adjusted my body, and suddenly exerted all my strength, rushed forward. When I approached the courtyard wall, I jumped up, and took a few steps on the wall quickly. I stretched out my hand and successfully put it on the wall.

I carefully poked my head out of the courtyard wall and looked into the yard. First, I saw the flowers, plants and trees directly below, like a small garden. Inside were houses, all of which were not lit, and it was pitch black inside, and only the general outline could be seen.

I felt that all the people in this house were asleep. I felt a little relieved. I was about to climb over the wall, but suddenly I found several huge black shadows rushing out from the corner of the house not far away. While running, I was still yelling wildly, "Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!" and "There is a dog!" I was shocked and almost fell from the top of the wall.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen big black dogs rushed under the wall, but they could not get up with such a high wall, so they could only stand below and yell at me frantically. Although this was already scared to me, I was frightened not only because these dogs were very big and almost caught up with the donkey, but also because of the old saying "I am guilty of being a thief."

In this quiet late night, the barking of more than a dozen dogs was so harsh that they instantly awakened all the dogs in the surrounding houses. The barking of dogs in the whole alley was connected. Immediately afterwards, lights lit up in the dark room, and at the same time, the light of lanterns appeared at the end of the alley, and there were actually a team of patrolling officers and soldiers.

After a moment of silence, I quickly jumped off the wall and ran towards the other end of the alley, "Stop! Don't run!" "There are thieves here!" "Catch the thief!" No noise shouts sounded behind me.

I ignored these shouts at all, but ran forward with no life. In a blink of an eye, I ran past several alleys. When I got here, the surroundings finally became quiet. I looked back and found that no one was catching up with me, but I didn't dare to stop and ran back to the ruined temple as fast as possible.

I sat on the ground decadently, and I felt a little depressed. I didn’t expect that the threshold for the thief industry is so high. Not only do I have to be able to go to the house and pick locks, but I also need to be able to deal with evil dogs. An industry with such cutting-edge technology is really not something that ordinary people can do. I swear I will never be a thief again in the future. After all, it feels really bad to be chased by others all over the street. If I am caught, it will be even more embarrassing. The faces of the 18th generation of ancestors have been completely discarded.

It’s okay not to be a thief, but I have to find a way to solve the problem of eating. Now the food is out of stock and even the pot has been smashed. The breakfast has not yet been settled. Looking at the stone pots on the ground that are broken into several pieces, I am really depressed.

Suddenly I remembered the morning market I saw in the morning, and those people holding swords in the morning market. "In fact, being a security guard is also a good choice. Although it is a bit far from the dream of a hero in the martial arts world and his salary is not high, at least he can eat a full meal." I said to myself in my heart, but I was still a little hesitant and fell asleep unknowingly.

I don’t know how long it took, and the feeling of hunger that scratched my heart and heart woke me up from my sleep. I looked outside the house and saw that the sky was getting lighter. I drank a lot of water. The feeling of hunger was slightly relieved. Then I got up and walked out of the ruined temple. Oh, just be a security guard. When I was hungry, all my dreams could only be put aside.

I stood in the morning market with a Fiery Sun Knife. Not far away, there were people who were also holding swords and other work. The clothes they wore were similar in style, blue or black coarse cloth, and the cuffs and trousers were tied tightly with straps, which was a bit similar to modern sportswear. Moreover, these people seemed familiar with each other, and they would occasionally chat with each other when they got together.

My outfit, especially with large copper coins on it, looks extremely alternative to my outfit, so I was very aware of it, but this distance didn't work.

These people immediately discovered my existence. Their eyes looked at me were extremely unfriendly, and they also looked at me and said something in a low voice. When they were talking, they would occasionally make fun of me and laugh out loudly. They were obviously very hostile to me, a stranger who came to grab business, and also very contemptuous.

Finally, someone couldn't help it. Three people walked towards me with knives. At the front was a dark-skinned, tall and strong young man. Behind him were two slightly older people. The three people's eyes were equally fierce, and they were looking for trouble at first glance.

However, after standing in front of me, the three of them did not talk to me. Instead, they looked at me up and down several times, and then suddenly burst into laughter, "This kid is just a young man, he doesn't understand the rules at all. He dares to come here to grab business in such a suit. I think he's crazy about money." The leading young man turned his head and said to the person behind him, pointing at me while talking.

"Hahahaha, Brother Wu, your eyes are really poisonous." "Brother Wu, you are right. Just looking at this outfit, you can tell that this kid is either sick or has a bad origin. I think his outfit should have been stolen. The broken knife in his hand has rusted, and he has the courage to take out such a broken knife." The two people following the young man immediately agreed with an extremely respectful attitude. The key is that these two people look older than this young man, but they shouted "Brother Wu" at once. Obviously, this young man is either a high status or a high ability.

"What do you think we should do today? I'm embarrassed to do something with such a young man. If I say something, I will shock the ground and put Long Wugang's face." The young man still turned his head when he spoke, not looking at me at all, but his fingers were closer to me and almost hit my nose.

"I think he would kneel on the ground and kowtow to apologize to you, and then get out of here." "I think he should leave his clothes and the knife, although it is a bit broken, can be exchanged for a few dollars when sent to the pawnshop, which is enough for us to have a pot tonight."

I looked at them coldly, but the three of them didn't respond. They just stood there and discussed themselves, as if I was the live fish placed on the chopping board now and could only let them deal with it.

Such an arrogant attitude really made me angry. I glanced at the fingers under my nose. Wu Gang actually dared to put his hand in this position. He was either possessing unique skills, skilled and brave, or was extremely mentally retarded and didn't take me seriously at all.

Then I knew the answer was the second one, because my left hand grabbed the finger like lightning, and beat it down slightly, while raising his right hand in front of his chest, guarding against Wu Gang's counterattack. The moment I beat it down hard, I screamed and squatted on the ground, "Ah----! Let go, my fingers are about to break! Let go!"

The scene in front of me not only surprised me, but also the two people who followed Wu Gang were even more surprised. They were all stunned for a moment. Obviously, they didn't expect that I would dare to take action, and even more so that their elder brother was so vulnerable.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the two of them immediately made the same move, drew their swords in their hands, and shouted fiercely at me, "Boy! You are looking for death!" "Boy! You dare to hit Brother Wu, do you know who he is? He is the only son of the old man Wu of the Iron Wall God Fist. If you don't let go, you can't get out of Tongyi City." Before the two of them finished speaking, I had already dragged Wu Gang's body and then kicked twice.

These two people didn't say a word from beginning to end, and felt that it was even more hateful than Wu Gang, so they were not weak in strength. The ability of these two people was really bad. I kicked them out several steps away without having time to react. They lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

The fight here immediately alarmed the people around. Ordinary people hurriedly ran for a few steps and hid in the distance, looking at the place curiously. The group of martial artists standing opposite rushed over with swords and swords, but they did not rush up directly, but stopped a few meters away from me.

"Hurry up and let Brother Wu go!" "Kill this ignorant bastard!" "If you dare to come to Tongyi City to make trouble, you are looking for death!" People kept shouting loudly in the crowd.

I looked at the group of people in front of me helplessly. From the actions they ran over just now, I had already judged that none of these people had real skills. At most, I learned to be a little scheming. Even if there are more levels, I am not afraid. But the purpose of coming here today is to find a job. Now it seems that the job hunting is ruined. Even if I beat all these people down, I will still be hungry today. In broad daylight, I can't knock these people down and then search them one by one, which will become a robbery.
