5.5(1/2)
At night, Lin Fangzhou turned around several times and heard the people beside him breathing evenly and in a sweet dream, she sat up gently and got out of bed.
The moonlight shone in through the tattered white window screen, like a mist. Lin Fangzhou walked to the outside room with the moonlight and found a rusty kitchen knife.
While looking for the knife, she accidentally kicked a mouse, which was startled, which made her curse in a low voice: "You ignorant beast, I have never had a grain of rice, but there is a piece of fat on the bed. Go and take him away!"
The mouse was probably used to coming and was not afraid of people. She was kicked by Lin Fangzhou, turned her body, looked around, and found that there seemed to be nothing to eat, so she left.
Lin Fangzhou thought to himself that her family must be a Feng Shui treasure land, and even mice will become spirits.
She walked into the bedroom with a kitchen knife. The person on the bed was lying peacefully, motionless, like a dead person. She must have been asleep. Lin Fangzhou held the kitchen knife with one hand and gently pressed his shoulder with the other. She felt guilty and called him softly: "Little fool? Little fool? Are you asleep?"
He didn't move at all and gave her any response.
Lin Fangzhou's hands were a little sweaty and trembled slightly. She kept saying to herself in her heart: If you kill him, he is a thief. You will die sooner or later. Kill him and bury him. Without knowing it, there will be peace...
Kill him!
She gritted her teeth and gradually exerted force on her hand holding the knife.
But the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes slowly.
Under the moonlight, those eyes were black and bright, looking at her steadily.
Lin Fangzhou's breathing was a little rapid. The kitchen knife was held in mid-air, as if it was blocked by the invisible force with a heavy weight and could not fall.
After standing stiffly for a while, Lin Fangzhou suddenly swung the kitchen knife heavily to the ground.
After all, I can't do it...
She turned over and lay on the bed, and said angrily: "Sleep!"
...
The next day, Lin Fangzhou thought of a new solution.
The reason why she didn't dare to report to the official was because she saved the thief and hid him - but who knows this? She just insisted that the little fool suddenly broke into his house and stole her things. After she caught him, she found that he was unusual like a thief, so she went to report to the official... Then wouldn't he be able to pass the disaster on?
Lin Fangzhou found a rope, tied the little fool up and threw it on the bed, and then went out to go straight to the county government.
The county magistrate was a little worried.
Recently, a tiger appeared in the mountain and ate several passers-by. He issued a document yesterday to recruit warriors to go up the mountain to kill tigers. On that day, a famous hunter went up the mountain. But he hasn't come back yet, so he is afraid that there will be a lot of danger...
Not only that, the two killer gods who were looking for children were back, sitting in his reception room with a gloomy face.
The county magistrate felt very wronged. He obviously didn't find anything in the past few days, so why did they just stay away...
"Can you..." The county magistrate plucked up his courage and expressed his guess, "Can you be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains..."
The two killing gods all looked at him, and he shut up decisively.
There was a silence in the room, and the county magistrate was sitting on pins and pins. He lowered his eyes and his eyes fell on their waists. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind and said, "The two adults are extremely brave and must be rare masters in the world."
The Great Killing God had a calm face and did not move at all. The Second Killing God smiled and said, "You are so flattering, my brothers are tired of hearing it."
The county magistrate smiled and said, "The officials who are not virtuous will cause tiger disasters in the territory. Those who are unlucky in our county will have parents like me, who are unvirtuous and incompetent. Those who are fortunate will have two great-grand and noble-minded people..."
The second god of killing said impatiently: "What are you talking about? You have something to say. I am most annoying to you civil servants to lose your book bags!"
The county magistrate was frightened and said quickly, "I want to say, can you... please help me with your help and get rid of the tiger's disaster that harms the world..."
Bang!——The God of Killing suddenly slapped the table hard and said coldly: "We are here to find people, not to fight beasts."
“Yes, yes…”
At this time, a yamen runner outside reported: "The great master, there is a man named Lin Fangzhou who said he wanted to see the great master."
"Let him go. Didn't I say I won't see guests today?"
"But he said...he said that this matter is of great importance and can make the great master be promoted."
The county magistrate was not angry: "Nothing! Let him get out! If he doesn't leave, he will beat twenty boards!"
"Let's go," said the second killer god with a smile on his face and said, "Why would you like to ask him to come in and see how he is a good thing to be promoted."
Since she made that decision, Lin Fangzhou always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell why. She felt that it might be because she was too nervous. When she walked into the reception room, she found that in addition to the county magistrate, there were two other people sitting inside.
One of them had a bad face, fierce and sharp eyes like a wolf. Lin Fangzhou was immediately frightened to the point of being cold and his scalp was numb.
She seemed to be nailed by his eyes, standing there, silent and stupid.
"Bold and unruly people, why don't you kneel when you see me?" When the county magistrate saw her, he could be a little bit of majesty.
The second killer suddenly said, "It's not in the court, so don't be polite. Look, he was frightened."
The county magistrate nodded, sat upright, and asked Lin Fangzhou: "Are you Lin Fangzhou?"
"Yes." Lin Fangzhou nodded foolishly.
"What are you going to report to me when you find me?"
"I'll catch--" She almost blurted out after memorizing the words on the way, but when she saw the two people suddenly with cold and sharp eyes when they heard the word "catch", Lin Fangzhou suddenly burst into thunder in her mind - she understood something was wrong!
If the government wants to catch the thief, why not make a big fuss about the arrest documents? Why do you have to do something secretly? Why do you still have to kill Wei Guaizi even though he has nothing to do with the thief? Even if they think Wei Guaizi really colluded with the thief, why don’t you make the reason for his killing public, so as to tell everyone not to collude with the thief, otherwise the fate will be very miserable?
They want to arrest and kill people secretly.
Secretly!
As long as you know their secrets, or if you may know their secrets, you may be killed!
Lin Fangzhou felt as if he had filmed the storm in his heart, which scared her to death and sweating like rain.
The county magistrate was sweating profusely when he saw the boy saying only two words. He was puzzled and asked, "What have you caught?"
"I thought of the way to catch...the tiger!"
"Oh? Really? Let's hear it!" The county magistrate was happy and thought that this young man was really raining in time. I was worried about it!
"I, I think... the tiger is too fierce. We, well, can't fight head-on, it's better to be smart."
The county magistrate nodded and said, "It's true. Tiger troubles should not use human life to fight. It was because I was reckless and had killed the hunter's life in vain - what good way do you have to do to get it smart?"
In order to save his life, there is no way to find a way. Lin Fangzhou's mind was turning faster than the top at this moment. He paused and replied: "I heard that tigers are most afraid of lions. Why not, let us put a fake lion to scare the beast? When it is afraid, it will only be concerned about running away. At that time, some good archery masters shoot it behind the lion..."
Before she finished speaking, the county magistrate was so angry that he slapped the table: "Come on! Call me out!!!"
Two yamen runners pushed the door and ran in, carrying Lin Fangzhou's arm and left.
Lin Fangzhou said anxiously: "Grandmaster, you think about it! Even if you don't work, don't hit me. If you hit me, who will dare to give you an idea in the future? Grandmaster!"
Although he came up with a bad idea, the last sentence made the county magistrate a little worried, and he ordered: "Just bomb him away, and he will not be allowed to step into the county government in the future!"
After the yamen runners took Lin Fangzhou away, the two killer gods finally couldn't hold it in. They slapped the table and laughed wildly: "Hahahahahahahaha! Where did this live treasure come from! You have to paste a paper lion to scare the real tiger, hahahahahahahaha!"
The Great Killing God seemed to find it ridiculous, and snorted softly. After humming, he was a little confused and asked, "He seems to be afraid of me?"
The second god of killing was already laughing out of tears. When he heard this, he wiped his tears and said, "Don't you know yet? Don't talk about humans, even dogs hide far away when they see you!"
The county magistrate smiled and said, "Don't say he is a commoner, even if I, the imperial official, was shocked when I met an adult for the first time."
The great killer god would undoubtedly have him.
...
At night, Lin Fangzhou was lying on the bed, thinking about things with his eyes open.
When the clapper at the third update rang, she suddenly pushed the sleeping person beside her: "Little fool, wake up."
The child was woken up by him and yawned, trying to continue sleeping, but she pushed him up: "Don't sleep!"
He stared at her blankly.
"Let's go, I'll take you out for fun." She said, finding a piece of clothing to put on for him.
Although the child was stunned, he listened very much to her. She took his hand and led him out, and he followed obediently.
Lin Fangzhou grew up in Yongzhou City since he was a child and was very familiar with every part of the city. One year, there was a heavy rain in the northeast corner of the county town, and the base of the city wall was loosened by water. When a nearby residents had a brick or two shorter, they went to the loose corner of the wall to take it. With it, a hole was taken out of the city wall, which was just enough for a child to get in and out.
Lin Fangzhou has a thin skeleton and a thin body. She has tried it and she can get through it herself.
Now, Lin Fangzhou led the child to the base of the wall, and both of them got out.
Then she led the child to continue walking, and after a while, she walked to the river.
The moon is very big, the river water is surrounded by white light, weeds entrenched on the shore, the shadows of trees sway, and everything falls asleep, and even insects are not chirping.
Lin Fangzhou was afraid that he would go back to find her. She tied the child's hands with a rope, and tied the other end to a tree. She touched his head and sighed, "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. I have been wrong from the moment I saved you. You... don't blame me."
He didn't struggle, just looked into her eyes.
Lin Fangzhou suddenly felt a little sad. She didn't dare to look at him anymore, so she turned around and strode.
But he stared at her back stubbornly. Her figure gradually disappeared, leaving him alone between the world.
Between this world, there was a wave of moonlight in front of me, and a wave of coldness behind me.
...
Lin Fangzhou returned home and fell asleep.
She had always slept well, but this time she had insomnia. She closed her eyes and her mind was full of the child. He stared at her blankly and followed her foolishly. He trusted her so much and was so obedient...
He is so pitiful.
