A person could approach Lin Ye silently and touch his waist, which made Lin Ye's pores expand in an instant.
Not afraid, but surprised.
When Lin Ye turned around, he grabbed his wrist.
He looked back, unable to suppress the surprise in his eyes.
The person he grabbed couldn't suppress the surprise in his eyes.
Lin Ye was surprised not only that someone could approach him so easily, but also because that person with such skill was caught by him so easily.
Behind him was a boy who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as Lin Ye.
It's just that he looks a little thin, and his height is only just over Lin Ye's shoulders. If you only look at the figure without looking at the face, he probably looks about 12 or 13 years old.
"Stealing something?"
Lin Yewen.
The young man actually nodded: "Yes."
Lin Ye: "How dare you?"
The young man: "How did you catch me?"
It seemed outrageous that a young thief could approach Lin Ye at such a close distance.
But he is also ridiculously weak.
At this time, Lin Ye could probably understand why the little thief could get close to him, but the little thief obviously didn't understand how Lin Ye found him.
Lin Ye looked at the young man, and the young man also looked at Lin Ye.
After a while, the young man asked: "I was caught by you, what do you want?"
Lin Ye: "How about beating him to death?"
The young man shook his head: "Can you beat me to death in a short while without causing any pain? If not, then it's better not to beat me to death. I'm afraid of pain."
Lin Ye: "Yes."
The young man shook his head again: "That's not good either."
After saying that, he suddenly broke away from Lin Ye's hands, turned around and ran away.
There were people coming and going on the street, and there were a few people watching. He burrowed into the crowd like a loach burrowing into the mud.
Lin Ye lowered his head and looked at his hands, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Just now, he saw how the young man broke free, so he was in a trance.
He originally held the little thief's wrist, but at that moment, the little thief's hand seemed to be detached from his bones. It shrank into a long strip and slipped directly out of Lin Ye's hand.
"Can you control your bones at will?"
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
It is indeed an eye-opener to visit this place casually. As long as you can think of it, this place can satisfy you.
It is said that in addition to the main building and two short streets, there is also a manor behind, and there are all kinds of things to do in the manor.
The inn boy told Lin Ye that there was a flower monk in the manor who only gambled and became a banker.
It is said that this person would bring one thousand taels of silver to gamble every day, and then leave after losing.
Compared to Dayu, Dongbo's national power is poor and weak, so prices and other aspects are relatively lower.
For example, when it comes to brothel consumption, spending fifty taels of silver in Yunzhou City may not necessarily make you have a lot of fun, but in Caoshu City, spending only 12 or 80 taels of silver can make people happy for a day and a night.
If you go to those small places to play, it is said that you can enjoy emperor-like treatment for five taels of silver.
Therefore, Monk Hua, who loses one thousand taels of silver a day, is undoubtedly a very rich person.
There are many rich people and weirdos in Caoshu City. In addition to the famous Monk Hua, there is also a man who calls himself Mr. Tianji.
He has a fortune-telling stall at the street corner every day. He only has one condition for fortune-telling. If he fortune-telling is correct, he will get no money. If he fortune-telling is wrong, he will receive ten taels.
Life is very hard, and I have to rely on others to support me for three meals a day.
I don’t know if he is really very accurate in his predictions, or if the fortune tellers don’t want to give money, so they can say they are accurate even if they are not accurate.
But then again, whoever is going to tell the fortune will still have to pay if the fortune telling is not accurate.
Before Lin Ye met this little thief, he had already gone to the main building for casual play, but was politely blocked back.
The person guarding the door said that the main building was temporarily closed and would not accept customers, so I asked this guest for his understanding.
The clothes Lin Ye was wearing were quite shabby, but the gatekeeper was also polite and not arrogant at all.
If we can't get into the main building right now, we'll wait until night.
Lin Ye was interested in this little thief, so of course he couldn't let him leave like this.
After the little thief escaped from Lin Ye's hand, he ran away quickly and soon arrived three streets away.
He arrived at the street corner and handed the bag of buns he was carrying to the fortune teller in patched clothes.
"Old fool, let's eat."
The little thief sat down next to the fortune teller. The fortune teller smiled and took it to eat without saying thank you.
He didn't leave any food for the little thief. After eating, he reached out and wiped oil on the little thief's clothes.
The little thief glanced at him.
The fortune teller suddenly froze, stretched out his hand again, and looked at it carefully with a serious look on his face.
He asked: "Did you meet someone?"
The little thief immediately recounted the strange things he encountered today, and the more he told them, the more incredible he found them.
"Who in the entire Caoshu City could detect that I was stealing? But as soon as I reached out, the guy grabbed my wrist."
The little thief stretched out his hand to show the fortune teller. There was still some redness and swelling on his wrist.
The strength of the grip shocked him.
The fortune teller asked: "Why did you steal him?"
The little thief said: "I can tell the most accurately about their beauties. They look shabbily dressed, but in fact they are very rich."
The fortune teller said: "Do you think that a rich man who has no guards around him and can only rely on shabby clothing to hide himself probably doesn't know martial arts."
The little thief said: "He only carried an umbrella, not a knife."
The fortune teller said: "Be careful these days, you may encounter some disasters."
Little thief: "Bah."
The fortune teller shook his head and said nothing.
The little thief got up and said, "I have to go back. No matter what you said is right or not, I will go hide today and come out to make a living tomorrow."
As a thief, he only targets beauties because he doesn't like beauties very much.
But he would never steal all people's money. The rule he set for himself was to take 10% of the money, even if it was ten taels, he would also take 10% of it, and if he was ten thousand taels, he would also take 10% of it.
Of course, to this day, he has never encountered a deal as big as 10,000 taels. If he encounters it, he may not be mentally prepared.
After the little thief left, the fortune teller was about to pack his things and go home, because he saw something was wrong with the little thief's face. If the little thief was close to him, the disaster might spread to him.
But just as he stood up, a young man appeared in front of him and sat down on the mazar opposite.
The fortune teller said: "I won't read it today, please come back."
While talking, I saw the young man carrying a big black umbrella behind his back.
Lin Ye sat down and asked: "I heard that sir, according to the divination, the sun comes at sunrise and ends at sunset. Why did you make an exception and leave early today?"
The fortune teller said: "I can take my business whenever I want."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "Then I will also tell you a fortune, sir? If the calculation is accurate, no money is required. If the calculation is not accurate, I will give you ten taels."
The fortune teller fell silent.
Lin Ye said: "There is a little thief who is causing trouble. Sir, he is afraid that he will be implicated, so he also wants to hide?"
The fortune teller remained silent.
Lin Ye took out ten taels of silver and put them on the table.
The fortune teller said: "You are right, you can go."
Lin Ye: "Sir, please give me a fortune teller and help me see if my wishes will come true when I come here."
The fortune teller looked at Lin Ye's face. After a moment, his eyes involuntarily turned to the black umbrella.
After a long time, he took the money and put it away: "I'm not sure."
He was so confident that he couldn't see it accurately, so he accepted the money.
Lin Ye sighed in his heart, thinking that it seemed that this trip was really not going so smoothly.
He stood up and was about to leave, but the fortune teller suddenly said: "You can't do it alone."
Lin Ye turned around: "How many people can it take?"
The fortune teller holds out four fingers.
Lin Ye said: "I have more than four people."
The fortune teller said: "Not counting the people you brought, not even forty or four hundred."
Lin Ye: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The fortune teller thought this guy was interesting, but he was not most interested in him. He still couldn't help but look at the black umbrella.
"Where are you going?"
asked the fortune teller.
Lin Ye: "Gather people together."
The fortune teller asked again: "How do you know where to look for someone, and how do you know who to look for?"
Lin Ye stretched out three fingers.
The fortune teller was obviously stunned.
After a moment of silence, he packed up his things and followed Lin Ye in the direction he was walking.
In a slightly old courtyard, a little thief came out with a large basin of freshly mixed food. The basin could be as big as a millstone. As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, seventeen or eight dogs immediately surrounded him.
Big, small, all kinds.
Each dog held a small wooden basin in its mouth. As the little thief whistled, seventeen or eight dogs lined up in a row and sat there obediently waiting.
He distributed food to these dogs. The dogs who had already received the food were obviously impatient, but without his consent, they would not eat it no matter how anxious they were.
After he finished dividing the food, he saw that the dogs were still waiting. He nodded with satisfaction, then snapped his fingers: "Eat."
Seventeen or eight dogs started eating immediately, and the sound of eating was heard in unison.
The little thief looked at his soldiers with satisfaction in his eyes.
He was smiling when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked around and saw the guy sitting on the wall.
When this guy appeared, even the dogs didn't notice, and there were still 17 or 18 dogs.
The little thief asked: "Are you finished?"
Lin Ye: "Be polite. After all, I'm not a good person. I might threaten you."
Thief: "What are you threatening me with?"
Lin Ye pointed at the dogs.
The dogs also looked up at Lin Ye at this time. Some dogs bared their teeth, and some dogs were silent but had fierce looks on their faces.
But the little thief cannot be cruel.
Because he knew that the guy could easily grab his wrist, and of course he could easily kill his dog.
"what you up to?"
he asks.
Lin Ye replied: "Steal something for me. If you steal it, I will give you ten thousand taels."
Then he pointed to the door: "Give him ten thousand taels too."
The little thief looked back and saw a person walking quickly outside the gate. The fortune teller had also arrived.
Fortune teller: "Why do you think I will help you? I'm just curious and came to take a look."
The little thief: "You are not a good fortune teller."
Fortune teller: "He found it himself and has nothing to do with me."
The little thief was silent for a moment and asked Lin Ye: "Are you really going to kill my dog?"
Lin Ye: "I can't say for sure. After all, when I came here, there was a dog that was bigger than the ones you have here. I gave him a dozen mouths when I disagreed with him."
Little thief: "A disagreement?"
Lin Ye: "It's not important."
Thief: "What are you stealing?"
Lin Ye: "This is the most difficult thing to steal in Caoshu City. If it goes well, you get 10,000 taels, and you will be hunted down after it is done. If it doesn't go well, you won't get 10,000 taels, and you will be hunted down."
Thief: "Is this how you negotiate terms with people?"
Lin Ye nodded.
Little thief: "Then you go, I won't agree, I hate you big jade, and I also hate you beauties."
Lin Ye: "Then, do you want to go to Dayu, which you hate?"
The little thief was obviously startled.
When the fortune teller heard this, he sighed: "Disaster is coming."
