Chapter 474: Ambush

"But it always appears only when it is late at night, so I can't find it if I want to play with it during the day..." the little girl said cowardly, "It's so beautiful, I really want to touch its feathers..."

"What does that bird look like?" Taoist Tian intended to learn more detailed information so that he could accurately find the target.

"Because it has been flying in the sky, I haven't looked it very close. But I remember it was emerald green, just like the expensive jewelry sold in the shops, very beautiful..."

As she said that, the little girl's eyes shone with a light of longing, and she obviously really liked it very much.

"Such a spiritual bird knows how to avoid the eyes of the people and only appears in the middle of the night, and can also tease children..."

After remembering these words in his heart, Taoist Tian thought to himself: "I believe that even if it is not a bird demon, it is not far from it."

I guess theft case of the Wang family is related to this bird.

Now let's investigate this bird as a target.

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little clue about the current investigation, and felt a little comforted in his heart. He reached out and touched the heads of the two children without hesitation, and praised: "You guys did a good job."

The boy was a little angry at his behavior of treating himself as an ignorant child, but before he could resist, he saw the Taoist priest in front of him handing him a bag of food. He was stunned and quickly took it away. After weighing the weight, he felt happy and could not care about anything else. He would ignore the offense of Taoist priest Tian for the time being.

"Those are treated as rewards for your hard work. Give some good food to your younger brothers and sisters. Be careful about stealing sacrifices and it is best not to do it anymore. If you are caught, you may blame the source of the disaster on your anger at the Dragon Prince, and your life will be difficult to save."

Taoist Maestro Tian reminded him with some emotion that he probably thought of his childhood experience. He could vaguely recall that before he met his master, he had been wandering and eating a hundred-storey meal for a long time. Looking back now, he is similar to these children.

In comparison, I am lucky enough. I hope that these children may meet relatives who are willing to accept them in the future...

The boy obviously did not understand the profound meaning of his words, but was a little impatient with his preaching and curled his lips: "Of course I understand these things, you don't need to say more!"

If you weren't really hungry, how could you risk stealing sacrifices from the temple?

Taoist Tian then asked the girl about the time and place of the bird.

The girl thought for a while and whispered: "It's there, but it's not visible every night, sometimes two days, sometimes three days. Speaking of which, the bird last appeared several days ago, maybe I can see it tonight!"

"tonight?"

This time surprised Taoist Tian, ​​and what surprised him even more was that the direction the girl pointed made him vaguely feel familiar.

"That direction..."

Just as he was thinking, the girl suddenly raised her head timidly and looked at him with a glance, then lowered her head in fear, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, are you asking if you want to catch that beautiful little bird?"

"Can you not hurt it... it did not do anything bad, it should be a good kid..."

Taoist Tian slowly withdrew his gaze, touched her hair and replied, "Don't worry, if it's a good child, I won't hurt it."

When he returned to the Wen Mansion and passed the news back a while later, everyone was excited.

After all, I have encountered setbacks many times in the past few days, and even the disaster relief task sent by the king had to be delayed, which is very annoying.

This time, I got accurate news. People like Yizimei were eager to make a big fuss. At this time, I immediately started to pick up the thief and then teach a good lesson. Of course, Mr. Wang and the county magistrate were also among the targets of revenge.

Yizimei jumped up first, looking fierce: "After the matter is over here, I must enter the Wang family, hang the Wang Master Wang and whip it a few times, and those officials are also..."

"I think I dare to bully people with a layer of official skin. Then I will want them to look good!"

Lu Rou next to him rarely agrees with him, stood up seriously and patted his shoulder, and said proudly: "It's me too! I have to whip a few more to be satisfied!"

However, the opportunity to settle the score in the future is obviously far away. In short, we must catch this little thief first.

Because I finally found the clue this time, basically everyone went out to ambush near the granary of the Wang family, waiting for the other party to appear.

Waiting for the late night is the real opportunity to start.

...

Under the night, the Wang family's granary was still brightly lit. The guards hired by the Wang family to guard the guards outside the door were holding torches and big swords around their waists to guard the land. Their duty was to ensure that no thief could sneak in from the shadows and ensure that the food inside was foolproof.

However, despite this, in fact, because the murderer Wen family, who was mentioned by the immortal master, had fallen, they thought the thief had already been resolved, so they naturally became a little lazy, and the situation of the guard was not as strict as the previous few days.

In just a moment, when you are standing tall from the nearby roof, you can clearly see the guards guarding in front of the gate chatting, and you can even see someone drinking and punching in the shadows of the lights, making a noise, not as if you are on duty at the granary.

It is no wonder that thefts occur frequently when guarding here in this casual appearance.

After casting contemptuous eyes at these guys, Yizimei and others officially hid in the nearby houses, hiding their figures under the moonlight, quietly waiting for the arrival of their targets.

However, because they knew in advance that the Wang family’s granary was not stolen every night, they were ready to not get tonight before they were ambushed here. Anyway, as long as the other party appears in the next few days, all efforts will be rewarded.

"At the end, if we really catch the bird, would we send it to the government office to the people who exchanged the Wen family?"

I don’t know who raised this question first, but it made everyone stunned. After all, I haven’t thought about this question before.
