Chapter 17 Thief
It's getting dark.
Liu Taozi was lying flat on the bed with her eyes closed tightly. Lu Qubing beside her was already fast asleep.
The wind blew gently, beating on the wooden door, making a rustling sound.
Taozi opened her eyes suddenly, stood up quickly, walked to the door in a few steps, and peeked into the courtyard.
In the quiet courtyard, there was a dark shadow, leaning against the wall and moving forward tiptoe.
Every time you take a step, you have to subconsciously look around.
Under Taozi's gaze, the man jumped up, grabbed the courtyard wall, easily lifted himself up, and then disappeared into the night.
Taozi walked out of the door and looked in the direction where the other party disappeared.
Kou Liu stretched out his hands and was now trotting on the courtyard wall.
His figure is like a cat, his feet are very fast, and in the dark night, he is like a gust of wind.
When he encounters a higher courtyard wall, he can climb up with a single jump without making any sound.
He didn't know how long he ran, but he finally stopped and hung on the courtyard wall skillfully, looking around.
In the distance, you can see swaying torches and the barking of big dogs.
Kou Liu frowned, so he had no choice but to change direction, crept to the west, and then climbed down the wall.
Even though it was late at night, there were fires everywhere in the house.
There are even more big dogs.
Kou Liu entered the maze-like courtyard and disappeared.
Time passed little by little, and the stars were extremely bright tonight.
"Ouch!!!"
There was a bark from the front yard, and in a moment, big dogs everywhere started barking.
Someone exclaimed something.
Kou Liu came running wildly, almost flying up the courtyard wall, following the route he came from, and quickly advancing on the courtyard wall.
All the noise was left behind, and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Kou Liu entered the law school room again, looked around, leaned against the wall, and moved little by little. Soon, he came to the front of his house.
He turned his back to the door, looked around, then slowly pushed the door open with his hand, still looking around cautiously, and stepped back little by little.
At this moment, he felt that he had hit something.
At this moment, Kou Liu's whole body was stiff and his hair stood on end.
A big hand suddenly covered Kou Liu's face. What kind of big hand was it? Kou Liu felt that his whole face was covered. The next moment, he flew up and flew into the house.
Kou Liu quickly grabbed the big hand with both hands and tried to open it.
Something cold touched his neck.
Kou Liu gave up struggling instantly.
The big hand slowly let go, allowing Kou Liu to breathe.
"thief?"
Kou Liu knew this voice, that strange tall Chinese man.
"Let me go and give you money."
"What do you want to learn to steal from the county?"
"It's not stealing."
As soon as Kou Liu finished speaking, his hand seemed to use force again.
"I'm getting my stuff back!"
"Let me go, I have money, otherwise, even if you report to the official, you won't get the money."
The man roughly turned Kou Liu over, grabbed his face, and slammed him against the door. The sword in his hand was pressed against Kou Liu's neck.
Kou Liu was forced to raise his head, and his forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat.
Taozi stared at him, looking him up and down.
The sword in his hand became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to pierce Kou Liu's neck at the next moment.
"I'm not lying to you! Someone took my things and injured my relatives. I'm here to get my things back!"
"Please! Spare me! I can't die yet!"
Kou Liu closed his eyes tightly and trembled all over.
The next moment, Liu Taozi let go of him, opened the door, and disappeared quickly.
Kou Liu collapsed on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.
The next day, Lu Qubing gently stroked his red forehead and complained to Liu Taozi beside him:
"My dagger was not hung securely. It fell directly on my head this morning. Fortunately, it was not unsheathed. Otherwise, I would have risked my life. I will never dare to hang it up again."
"Um."
"If there is a thief in the law school, will you be implicated?"
"Ah? Thief?"
Lu Qubing looked around and lowered his voice: "I'll tell you the truth. Don't spread these words to anyone else."
"Originally, I couldn't tell the outside world. In fact, I am not in charge of the law school at all. There is no one in charge of the law school. There is not even a law school at all!"
"At first, we all studied together, but later we were separated. I was thrown here because there was no arrangement."
"Don't talk about thieves. Even if a rebel thief emerges, it has nothing to do with me. Whoever issues the learning cards will be responsible. If he is unlucky, it will be the fat pig's unlucky one!"
Lu Qubing said enthusiastically. Judging from his expression, he seemed to wish that there would be a rebel among the students and send Fei Zongxian to the clan to kill him.
Taozi said oh but said nothing.
Taozi followed the others in line to beg for food, but Lu Qubing left.
Taozi was standing when a person slowly came over.
The person who came was none other than Kou Liu.
At this moment, he was no longer as aloof as he was a few days ago, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Tao Zi followed closely behind him, and even the old man couldn't help but take another look at him.
While eating, he squatted next to Tao Zi.
"Brother, why did you let me go?"
Tao Zi just ate her rice and ignored him at all.
Kou Liu also buried himself in his meal.
"No matter what, I will remember it, thank you."
"I will definitely repay you."
Kou Liu said very seriously.
Taozi ate the rice cleanly, then stood up, returned the rice bowl to the old official, and turned around to leave. Kou Liu just looked at his back.
"What a strange person"
When Lu Qubing returned to the school angrily, Taozi was still reading his book.
Lu Qubing sat down in front of Taozi, his expression extremely ugly.
"Taozi, someone may come looking for you."
"Since you don't want to leave, then be careful and never go out with these people."
"You study very seriously. There are only the last fifteen days left. If you get through it, just be patient."
"I'm here anyway"
Lu Qubing's meal today was not that tasty.
It was not just the fat pig thing that made Lu Qubing disgusted, but also the Xianbei man in the school.
"Brother, I exchanged some Naizi with someone. This Naizi was brought from home. I tasted one and it was pretty good. I gave it to my brother to try."
Kou Liu smiled and placed Xanazi on Taozi's bed.
Taozi said nothing, and Kou bowed and left.
Lu Qubing watched this guy leave in surprise.
"Brother Taozi! When you treat others politely, you must ask for something!"
"This person has never met you before, and he is suddenly so diligent. He must have an agenda!"
Lu Qubing narrowed his eyes, "Could he be someone sent by Fat Pig? Fat Pig is always close to the Xianbei people."
"It's not like that."
Taozi finally went back to the road and said something.
Lu Qubing may have too many things on his mind, which makes him absent-minded. Even when he is giving lectures, he behaves a little abnormally.
This time his speech was not as smooth as the previous times, and the content became a little difficult.
Everyone in the school room was sitting on the ground, frowning and scratching their heads. When Lu Qubing unintentionally increased the difficulty, it was not so easy for these people to keep up.
The door to the law school is open.
It must be open at all times except when it is dark.
No one knows why this door has to be open, but it was like that in the past, so it is like that now.
Three people appeared outside the door of the school. As soon as they appeared, everyone in the school saw them.
Lu Qubing stopped teaching, stood up and looked back.
The three people quickly locked Taozi in the crowd and were about to walk over, but Lu Qubing stood in front of them.
"Why do you come to my law school?"
Lu Qubing knew all these people and had met them at Fei Zongxian's place.
The leader smiled and said, "We are here to pick up a student under the order of the doctor. Congratulations. There is a student who has been favored by the doctor and wants to teach him the way to a saint!"
In the past few days, Lu Qubing felt a little harsh when he heard the words "Sage Avenue".
He really didn't understand how a person from a wealthy Confucian family, who had studied so many sages and sages, could talk about the truth and do some evil things at the same time.
"If you want to be promoted, let Jijiu give the order. The doctor can't control this place."
The man shook his head, "You have no control over this place. You were only temporarily assigned to supervise everyone. Have you forgotten?"
"The most important thing is that if people want to go, you can't stop them."
He immediately looked at Taozi and said, "Brother Liu Xian, this is a great thing, come with me!"
"Get out!!!"
Lu Qubing was completely angry. He stepped forward and tried to push the person in front of him, but the other two people surrounded him on the left and right.
The leader narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu."
Everyone in the school stood up slowly. They glanced at Taozi, who nodded slightly.
I don't know who started it first, but they walked back and forth in the direction of Lu Qubing.
Taozi still sat in her original position, motionless.
Many students moved their bodies sluggishly, moving little by little, and at some point, they were all standing around Lu Qubing.
These people were thin, with timid eyes, and some were still trembling, but they did gather around them, and there were indeed more than thirty of them.
The leader glanced at the people on the left and right, and then glanced at Liu Taozi, who was standing still.
"Brother Liu Xian, you should think about it again. Such a good opportunity should not be missed."
"Let's go."
He turned around and left with the people.
