Chapter 15
The daily life of a bandit is actually quite boring. Every day he just repairs things in the village, cooks, eats, and patrols. When he has no money, or has nothing to do, he just robs passers-by.

But after Jiang Li arrived, they had something to look forward to every night.The "Water Margin" mentioned by Jiang Li has become the most discussed topic in the village.

During the Lantern Festival, red lanterns are hung everywhere in the village, making it look prosperous.

After everyone finished eating the Lantern Festival, they stopped playing lantern riddles.Firstly, their cultural level is indeed low, and secondly, the stories Jiang Li tells are what they care about most.

On weekdays, there are always people on duty at the foot of the mountain. At night, there are two people at the entrance of the cottage watching over the foot of the mountain to prevent night attacks.

And these two people often have to wait until the next day to hear this story from other brothers.Several people added up and talked about the parts they remembered, and then they could barely make up a complete one.

Sometimes as they were talking, the storytellers began to discuss excitedly, talking about how Jiuwenlong taught loyalty and where Lu Tiha went wild again.At this time, the two brothers listening to the story must interrupt them, otherwise they will not hear the follow-up for a quarter of an hour.

And today, the Lantern Festival, the headmaster ordered a few more traps to be set up at the entrance of the village so that there would be no need for guards at the entrance.

This level of excitement was unprecedented in the past few days.

However, Jiang Li still had to follow his rules.She wants to wait for everyone to tell a story about the world.

This time, it was told by my brother who used to be a gangster in the city.

"When I was a gangster, I went to many places and heard many stories. But if I were to say that the most powerful person I knew, apart from the three masters and the military advisor, there was only one person."

Having said this, the gangster brothers paused deliberately.This is the storytelling skill he has learned from Jiang Li these days.

However, he is not as popular as Jiang Li.

Someone in the crowd threw a peanut.

"What an appetite!"

"that is!"

One peanut was thrown, and a dozen peanuts were thrown at him.

The gangster brothers couldn't resist, so they shouted quickly.

"I said! I said!"

After everyone calmed down, he started talking.

"That person is the number one thief in Northern Zhao Kingdom, Jiang Xiyue who catches wind and shadow."

"Wait a minute, why is it such a bad nickname?"

Jiang Li couldn't help but complain.Catching wind and shadow is not a good word no matter how you hear it.

The gangster brother smiled.

"Because he was so fast, no one noticed when he stole things. People who had some things stolen thought they were lost rather than stolen. So many people doubted whether this person existed or not. They could only It's just a matter of speculation. His name is also spread by some people in the world. I don't know whether it is his real name, what his background is, or where he studied under."

"There is another explanation. What's his story?"

Jiang Li asked, and some people in the crowd also became curious.Some people have never heard of this name, and some people have heard of it, but not the deeds.

The gangster brothers officially started talking.

"Five years ago, there was a magic thief. He couldn't find anything with Xuan Tie shackles, so he decided to go out in person and catch this thief. This magic thief was the most patient. He once pretended to be a farmer in a town for five years in order to catch a criminal. . This incident was also a sensation at the time, because people wanted to know which one was more powerful. Perhaps because of this, Jiang Xiyue also made a gauntlet, saying that he would steal a tree from Prince Wu's Mansion at midnight."

"Stealing a tree? How do you steal it? And is that tree valuable?"

This question was asked by the third master.

It is normal for a master thief to steal gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, but stealing a tree is not valuable, and it cannot be stolen.

The gangster brother also answered.

"This is provocation. He doesn't care about the value of the tree, he just wants to steal it. And if such a big target is stolen, there will be nothing to say."

"Did he steal it?"

Someone in the crowd also asked. The gangster brother picked up the peanuts on the ground and ate one, and then said with a smile.

"Don't worry. After hearing about the divine thief Shi Wude, he naturally went to King Wu's house, shackled every tree, and sent people to patrol every day. But there is one thing, this divine thief Jiangxi Yue Mi Say when you will come to steal. Three months have passed and there is no news. There is nothing you can do about it. You can't tell people, 'Come and steal quickly, we can't wait any longer', right? Besides, they want to What he stole was a tree. Even if he really didn't come, it doesn't mean he was incompetent.

"It was autumn, three months later, and the trees soon lost all their leaves. Until one day, King Wu also became angry. There were so many people hanging around his house every day, and he was under great pressure. Besides, the thief didn't come, so he just He could get angry at the divine catcher. The divine catcher couldn't talk back. After being scolded, he fought back at a tree. As a result, a hole was broken in the tree with one punch."

"Is he so powerful?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask.

She has heard some things from people in the world these days. Anyone who can punch through a tree with one punch is really a master.

The gangster brother shook his head.

"Of course not. He was shocked when the punch hit him. Then, he realized that the tree was dead, only the bark was left, and it was empty inside, supported by wood. Because it was winter, No one found anything wrong. Then let's look for it. After searching for a few days, someone reported that there was a tree suddenly in the village. It had no bark and the trunk was broken. It was glued together and there was glue on it. Leaves. There is a line of words written on the trunk, 'catching the wind and catching the shadow of the moon in Jiangxi'!"

At the end of the sentence, the gangster brother slapped the table.Everyone also applauded.

Jiang Li also thought about it for a long time.

"How is this done?"

"You can't figure it out?"

The third master returned her, and Jiang Li looked at the third master.

"you know?"

"I don't understand either. I'm just asking you." The gangster brothers were afraid that the third master and the military advisor would quarrel again and they would no longer be able to listen to "Water Margin" later, so they quickly answered.

"Actually, many people in the world were thinking about this matter, but none of them figured it out. Later, Jiang Xiyue, the shadow-catcher, was active for another two years and then disappeared. Some said he was caught, while others said he gave up. , and some people said that he started to take apprentices. Now many thieves say that they are his apprentices. "

"It's definitely not that he was caught. If such a person is caught, then he shouldn't tell the world."

Jiang Li proposed a hypothesis, and the third master once again refuted it, only her.

"I can't say for sure. What if he works for the government now?"

"This kind of person doesn't feel like someone who would do anything for the government."

"You know what kind of person he is just by hearing a story?"

"If you two continue talking, it will be dark. Military advisor, continue what you said yesterday."

The boss stepped forward to stop the quarrel between the two people.

The crowd also started to boo, asking Jiang Li to tell the follow-up quickly, so she refused.

The only "Water Margin" Jiang Li knew was Chapter 71, where the heroes of Liangshan were ranked.Without eating Tianxin grass, she would die in more than 40 days.

So in order to prevent her not being able to talk about it at that time, she now talks about it three times a day.These three times, I kept talking for more than an hour before ending.

The next day, the Lantern Festival has passed, and the brothers in the village are taking down all the lanterns. The guards at the gate have also removed all the traps set up at the gate of the village yesterday to prevent anyone from accidentally touching them.

During the day, the cottage was quite boring, and Jiang Li had nothing to do. He just walked around, wandered around the room, and walked around outside.

Just after midnight, Jiang Li was about to take a nap when he suddenly heard someone calling him outside the room.

"Master! Master!"

After walking out, she saw the person outside, it was Wu Xiaoliu.

She was still very tired from getting ready for bed.

"Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

"The boss called you and said he would take you down the mountain to rob you today."

After hearing this, Jiang Li instantly became energetic.

"You must wait for me to change clothes! You can't do it in advance!"

After saying that, she immediately went back to the room and changed into lighter clothes.

After fighting the giant python last time and watching the fight in the temple, she really felt that long skirts were too much of a delay, so she bought a pair of lighter clothes to facilitate movement.

After just a short while, she ran out. Before Wu Xiaoliu could react, he saw Jiang Li running out.

At the entrance of the cottage, the boss and a dozen brothers were waiting for her.

"Master, here I come! Hasn't it started yet?"

"No, I'm just waiting for you."

As he spoke, the headmaster pointed at the group of people passing by at the foot of the mountain with the sword in his hand.

"Have you seen that group of people? They don't have the power of escorts, and the escort agency doesn't have any friendship with our village. The third master and the others also inquired about it when they went down the mountain with you a while ago. This group was just established and has no background. Today we will Rob them!"

"Are we short of money?"

"Of course not. But you have been here for so long and I haven't taken you on a robbery. Today I will show you the world! Let's go!"

This robbery was purely for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's purpose was very clear when he came here, that is, he wanted to be a bandit, so robbery was naturally one of his tasks.Jiang Li had done a lot for the village these days, and the boss thought he should take her on a robbery as a reward.

Jiang Li felt that the reason of "seeing the world" was a bit far-fetched, but then he thought about it, why do bandits need a reason to commit robbery?
When more than a dozen people ran down the mountain, the person from the escort agency saw them.

The owner of the escort agency knows that there are bandits here, and the escorts are young and energetic. They are looking forward to fighting the bandits once. If they win, they will establish their authority.Therefore, even if the experienced escort leaders in the escort agency repeatedly emphasized that they must pay tribute to the bandits, they would not listen.

They also waited for the bandits to come down.

The so-called youthful spirit means that after the five of them were surrounded by more than a dozen bandits, they still felt that they could win.

After the standard plot of threats and refusal to surrender, the two sides started fighting.

Jiang Li stood nearby, holding a sword in his arms. He was thinking about whether he could snatch other people's things without any guilt after nearly half a month of mental preparation. He looked at the five people from the escort agency. They were attacked by bandits three times their size.

After the four people were controlled, the remaining bodyguard was more powerful and ran as fast as he could near Jiang Li.

"Girl! Looking at your dress, you must be a member of the Jianghu family, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"And you are a girl, and you dare to stand by and watch so many bandits. If they dare not approach you, then you must be able to defeat them. Can you help me and kill these people? I will definitely have it." Thank you very much!”

"Speak briefly."

"Help!"

Jiang Li looked at the man's screams, scratched his neck with his sword, looked at the bandit over there, then looked at him again, and said in embarrassment.

"But I'm on the same side as them."
