Water Margin people

Chapter 9
"What a net of heaven and earth?"

Lu Zhi rubbed his bare head deeply but didn't understand what Sun Lei was talking about.

"You don't have to worry about it, just watch it carefully!"

Sun Lei just said this without turning his head.

Lu Zhi shook his head deeply, and stopped thinking about it so much, and continued to fight with the fat chicken with the wine jar in his arms.

Sun Lei came back in the middle of the night, and Lu Zhishen was sleeping by the tree trunk, snoring.

"Master Lu, why are you so irresponsible? What if the thief ran away?"

Sun Lei kicked Lu Zhishen. The guy was surrounded by chicken bones, and the wine jar rolled on the ground empty. Lu Zhishen probably didn't even know that the thief ran away from him.

"Hmph, when did Sajia fall asleep?"

As soon as Lu Zhi's deep snoring stopped, he opened his eyes suddenly, which seemed a little sleepy.

"Are you pretending to be asleep?"

Sun Lei was startled by Lu Zhishen.

"If I don't pretend to be asleep, how dare the thief come out?"

Lu Zhishen flicked his head, and a dead leaf on it fell to the ground.

Sun Lei looked at it secretly, Lu Zhishen still had such delicate thoughts, but he really didn't see it these two days.

"What are you doing looking at me? Where have you been? There is no food or drink in the forest. I expect this thief to escape at sunrise. Find a place to hide, and I will continue to pretend to be asleep."

Lu Zhishen found a relatively large leaf on the ground and said, people are most sleepy at dawn, and the thief will definitely escape at that time.

"That's good, Master Lu. You can stay on the northwest road later, and I'll just guard the southeast side. Let's block on both sides to ensure that he can't escape."

Sun Lei pointed to two roads, the northwest one was the road they were chasing, and the southeast was a small road. This area was densely forested, so if you want to go out, you can only take these two roads.

"You guard the southeast?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei with some doubts. In the past two days, he knew something about Sun Lei. Apart from drinking a lot, his boxing skills were no different from ordinary people. .

"You call me brother, don't you believe me? As long as that guy runs away from me, let's work together as brothers to ensure that he won't escape from this trap!"

Sun Lei said confidently.

"Okay, the Sa family has always believed in brothers, so we will guard one side alone."

Lu Zhishen said frankly that there are two ways out of this mountain forest, he can only guard one, and the other can only be handed over to Sun Lei.

There was a faint whiteness on the sky, and a black shadow in the dense forest in the mountain was wiped out of the mountain by this light. This man was a skinny man in his 30s. His face was paler by the faint moonlight, but his face was full of ferocity. There is a conspicuous gold seal on his forehead.

The clothes on the man's body were torn by thorns, and he walked out of the dense forest on the side of the mountain to find the road.

"That damned monk should go."

The skinny middle-aged man muttered, I don't know what kind of bad luck happened today, he wanted to go to the brothel Goulan to relax, but he was spotted, and when he ran away, he met a nosy monk again.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have gone to a nearby village to find someone to attack!"

The skinny man said bitterly.

"Sajia sees that you don't have that chance!"

With a roar, Lu Zhishen jumped down from a tree and was about to kick the skinny man.

The skinny man reacted quickly and rolled forward, avoiding Lu Zhishen's kick.

"Prostitute, take your life!"

When Lu Zhishen landed, he punched the skinny man with his fist.

The skinny man didn't dare to take it hard, grabbed the ground with both hands, and scattered a lot of dead leaves mixed with soil towards Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhi's deep fist turned into a palm, and he blocked the dirt and leaves with his swing, preventing them from hurting his eyes.

In that split second, the skinny man ran towards the dense forest beside him, which was in the southeast direction, where Sun Lei was guarding.

"Run away!"

Lu Zhishen immediately chased after him.

Sun Lei, who had been guarding the southeast for a long time, heard Lu Zhishen's thunderous shout and knew that the man was coming. He took out a small gong and a small hammer from the cloth bag behind his back.

"Catch a thief! Catch a thief!"

Sun Lei beat the gong and shouted, and lit a dozen fires by the way.

The skinny man who had just run into the path was frightened out of his wits, and his foot speed was a little faster, as if he didn't need to touch the ground, he fled out of the woods in a flash.

"Hurry up! Why did you let him go!"

Lu Zhishen then ran over, his footsteps were not as light as that of the flower picker, so naturally he ran not so fast. When he saw Sun Lei beating the gong and staring at him, he asked, this is the road that Sun Lei was guarding, but he let the thief run away up.

"Master Lu, why are you in a hurry, he can't run away, this is just a sky gong, there is a ground net over there, where did he escape?"

Sun Lei put out the torch, knocked the gong heavily and said with a smile.

"Don't believe it, let's go and see."

Sun Lei beat the gong briskly, and walked along the road to the outside of the woods, still humming.

"Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountain..."

Lu Zhishen followed with his eyes wide open. When he came, the thief was nowhere to be seen, so he must have run away.

At the end of the forest path, a huge silkworm chrysalis-like object was wriggling slightly on the ground, accompanied by painful groans.

"Well, I said he can't escape!"

Sun Lei proudly pointed to the skinny man on the ground who was trapped firmly by the fishing net. In order to prevent the trap from becoming unsteady, Sun Lei specially found some thin thorns and put them on the fishing net. Looking at the bloody fishing net and the rolled up flesh You don’t need to guess that this man must have gone through a lot of painful struggles. A fishing net with thorns is like an iron hook. The more you struggle, the tighter it will be. Struggling desperately, because of human instinct, this is an endless loop. Those thorns were deeply pierced into the skinny man's flesh. It hurts to see the bloody flesh. Sun Lei accidentally got pricked when cutting these thorns. through that pain.

"Brother, how did you catch this guy?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the flower picker who was throbbing in pain on the ground, and he didn't have the idea of ​​going up and kicking his feet. There was no place to step down from the thorns all over his body, and Lu Zhishen felt pain just looking at it.Why do you need to bear thorns to plead guilty? Poisonous thorns are more terrible than whips.

"I put this fishing net at the exit of this trail. At dawn, the light in the woods was poor. I rang the gong and yelled at this guy. He thought there was a large group of people coming to catch him. He must run desperately. He would not pay attention to the fishing net. Once he hits it, he will be afraid. It was netted tightly like a fish, and in order to prevent him from running away, I also chopped some thin thorns, and it seems to work well."

Sun Lei said proudly, raised the gong in his hand, and pointed to the thief on the ground who was tied up with a fishing net.

"Isn't this just a net of heaven and earth, with which he can still run?"

"Brother's good means? The Sa family admires it!"

Lu Zhishen looked at the gong in Sun Lei's hand and at the thief tied up with fishing nets on the ground, and clasped his fists at Sun Lei and said, if it wasn't for Sun Lei's ingenious plan today, the thief would have to run away.

"Master Lu is serious, but he is just a stupid thief, it's no big deal."

Sun Lei chuckled.
