After the beggar entered the dilapidated courtyard, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Hong Chen, who had followed him, with a smile.
Hong Chen swept a glance and discovered that in the dilapidated courtyard, other than the little beggar, there was someone else.
A man was playing a flute on the roof of the broken roof tiles.
He was dressed in a long robe with silver threads, his hair was tied up with a white jade crown, and his face was like a jade plate. He was quite handsome.
He often looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, his brows filled with worry.
This kind of man must have an irresistible attraction to many women.
There was an old locust tree with dense leaves in front of the house.
On the thick branch, a man wearing a Yin Yang mask stood upside down like a bat. He looked gloomy and unpleasant.
Hong Chen's pupils contracted slightly.
He realized that the seemingly dense branches and leaves on the old locust tree were actually crows that were perched on the tree.
Because the night was too dark, he couldn't see very clearly.
In the courtyard of the dilapidated house, there was a stone mill that had fallen to the ground.
A muscular man sat on the millstone. He was tall and muscular, and there were two strings of black spherical bombs hanging on his body.
He didn't say anything, but people could feel the domineering and terrifying aura that he emitted.
There were other people in the dilapidated courtyard.
But the rest of them were not worthy of Hong Chen's attention.
Only the man playing the flute on the roof, the man with the Yin Yang mask hanging upside down from the locust tree, and the man with bombs all over his body made Hong Chen wary.
The little beggar raised a purse and chuckled."How is it? I didn't lie to you, right?”
"The Thief Commander, Thief King, and Thief Demon you are looking for are all here. This bag of money is my reward.”
Hong Chen's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to touch his clothes. He discovered that the money pouch inside had been lost at some point.
"When this old master grabbed one of your hands, you used the other hand to steal this old master's money bag without anyone noticing?”Hong Chen asked calmly.
The Pauper swaggered out of the room and said proudly,""That's right, I stole it at that time. Who told you to chase me so far!”
Hong Chen lightly smiled. Flipping his palm, he took out a sachet.
"What do you think this is?"
Hong Chen took the sachet and waved it in front of the little beggar.
"This is…"
The expression on the little beggar's dirty face changed, and he quickly touched his body a few times.
It was gone!
It was gone!
"That's my sachet, when did you steal it…!？”
The little beggar pointed at Hong Chen and cried out in surprise.
Hong Chen smiled," Naturally, when your other hand stole my money pouch, my other hand also stole your things."”
"You-!"
The little beggar's eyes widened.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
The little beggar went to snatch the sachet from Hong Chen's hands.
How could Hong Chen allow the little beggar to snatch it away? He used Lightning Steps to dodge the little beggar.
"You're an old man, what's the point of bullying a girl?" The little beggar said angrily.”
"You're a girl, but you stole an old man's retirement money. Is there any meaning in that?" Hong Chen retorted.”
"You-!"
The little beggar couldn't win against Hong Chen and stomped his feet in anger.
"I…I'll just return the money pouch to you!”
"Sure."
"I'll return the money bag to you, and you return the sachet to me.”The little beggar raised his fair neck and asked.
"No problem." Hong Chen nodded.
"I'll count to three," the little beggar said,"and we'll throw the items to each other."”
"No problem!" Hong Chen agreed immediately.”
The little beggar started counting.
"One…two…three…throw!”
Hong Chen and the little beggar threw the sachets or money pouches in their hands to each other at the same time.
Hong Chen stretched out his hand and caught the money pouch.
The little beggar also caught the sachet.
The little beggar revealed a triumphant smile.
"Old grandpa, I'm still better than you. The purse in your hand is full of pebbles.”
When Hong Chen heard this, he hurriedly opened the money pouch to take a look.
Indeed, they were all pebbles.
The purse was originally filled with silver pieces.
In the end, the little beggar had secretly swapped them all for pebbles.
"Little girl, you're not good enough. You've learned to lie to the elderly?" Hong Chen said with a dark face.”
The little beggar giggled and said," I didn't lie to you, old man. After all, I only said that I would return your purse. I didn't say that I would return the money to you."”
Hong Chen wasn't annoyed. He suddenly laughed.
"Little girl, don't you want to take a look at what's in your sachet?”
The little beggar was slightly startled and quickly opened the sachet.
He found that the thing in the sachet had disappeared and turned into a stone.
"You…!" The little beggar was furious.
"Likewise," Hong Chen smiled.
The little beggar blushed and said anxiously,""Old man, give it back to me. That's a token of love that mother gave me, saying it's for my future husband!”
Hong Chen shook his head and said," I'm not returning it. You were the one who stole my things first. The older the ginger, the spicier, right?"”
The little beggar snorted in anger. He stomped his foot and his figure suddenly increased.
With a swoosh, it flew over like a ribbon.
In just a blink of an eye, the little beggar had coiled around Hong Chen's body.
The little beggar's pair of small hands stretched out extremely fast, practically grabbing out eighteen afterimages, touching towards every part of Hong Chen's body.
"Are you a beggar?" Hong Chen laughed.”
