Prophet of Rebirth

Chapter 222 The Thief in the Pond

"My cow is gone, goddamned bastard, who stole my cow!" In the dead of night, Ye Zhiqiu knelt in front of the mourning hall, recalling his father's voice and smile, his whole body trembled with a roar, and the funeral had just finished Not long after, when the villagers were about to go back to rest, they did not expect such an accident to happen.

"...How dare you steal chickens and dogs at my father's funeral. I don't want to live anymore." Ye Zhiqiu stood up and rushed out. It seems that the cow stealing incident happened at this time in his last life. I forgot about it, and I didn't expect it to happen in the end.

"Village chief, whose cattle have been stolen?" When Ye Zhiqiu rushed out, the village was already in flames, and even the neighboring village sent people to help. When he came out, he happened to see the old village chief leading a few people out angrily. You must know that cattle are the lifeblood of the villagers, and stealing cattle is killing the farmers, which is a big taboo.In his previous life, although he knew about the cattle stealing, he only helped to find it at that time. He didn't know who lost the cattle at all, so he just asked casually when he saw the old village chief.

"Xiaomei's house." The old village chief replied while ordering his men to search for it in the surrounding woods.

"Xiaomei's family! Looking for death." Ye Zhiqiu almost punched a hole in the mud wall of his house, and said with a gloomy face: "Village chief, don't ask people to look around. I know where the thief is. Ask people to follow him." I come."

The thief in the previous life was considered unlucky, but also very smart.Originally, one or two big buffaloes could not run fast, and the target was too big. He could not run away non-stop as soon as he stole the buffalo, otherwise he would be caught before he could run very far, so he was very smart to get rid of it. Clothes took the cow and jumped into a pond below the village to hide. He wanted to wait until everyone thought he had fled away and gave up searching before running out.Originally, his strategy could be said to be flawless, but it seemed that there was a will in the dark. When the villagers were searching the pond, he was hiding in the water. After everyone turned and left, he surfaced to breathe.But what he never imagined was that a villager suddenly came back with a carbine, and the flashlight shone right on his head, so the thief was a tragedy and was tied up by the villagers. On the biggest banyan tree in the village, he was beaten and kicked until he was half dead, and then he was beaten again the night before he was handed over to the police. The thief who was already half dead was completely dead the next day. Ye Zhiqiu didn't know anything about the rest of the matter. Anyway, if he dared to steal a cow, he had to be prepared to be beaten to death.

"Do you know where the thief is?" The village chief was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu incredulously, but when he thought of Ye Zhiqiu's identity, he immediately felt relieved, and yelled at several young men: "Da Niu, Ergou, where are you?" One, follow Zhiqiu to catch the thief, and the others will continue to search." Although I believe in Ye Zhiqiu, I am not afraid of [-] but just in case, the village chief has to make two preparations at this time. A dozen or twenty people are also looking for it, so we can't let a large number of people wait. If Ye Zhiqiu's prediction is wrong, wouldn't he miss the best time to catch the thief.

"Yes, Uncle Hua." A few middle-aged people walked out of the crowd and followed behind Ye Zhiqiu. The rest of the people scattered around. It was the first big search in the quiet night, and the small mountain village had not been quiet for a quarter of an hour. , It boiled completely again.

"Zhiqiu, do you really know where the thief is?" Ye Zhiqiu led a few people not far, and a strong middle-aged man behind him couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Niu, feel free to follow me, I'll lead you to catch the thief." Ye Zhiqiu nodded, and walked towards the pond with deep feet and shallow feet.

"Zhiqiu, how do you know where the thief is hiding?" Uncle Niu was silent for a moment, then asked curiously.

"Taoist Master Tianji told me." Ye Zhiqiu snarled in the direction of Tianji Mountain. Sometimes some things can express their meaning better without explanation than with explanation. The general direction gave them a misleading way. problem.

"Hey!" Several people laughed, showing such an expression, Ye Zhiqiu seemed to be rendered into a semi-immortal state in their eyes because of the reason of the Taoist priest, so Ye Zhiqiu was not sure about the prophetic things. There was nothing surprising at all, but I took it for granted.

"Zhiqiu, you don't want to say that the thief is hiding in the pond, do you?" Seeing Ye Zhiqiu standing by the pond, Uncle Niu couldn't believe it. Although the weather is very hot, the night in the mountain village is still It's a bit cold, and the water in the pond is almost the domestic sewage of the whole village. It can be said to be as smelly as it is. Unless the thief is smart or too cheap to hold back the smell, he will definitely not Might go down this pond.

"Uncle Niu, you'll find out later, and now everyone cross-shoots on the water surface of the pond for 5 minutes." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, even if the thief can hold his breath, he can't hold it for five minutes.

Although a few people couldn't believe it, but since they came, and Ye Zhiqiu was so sure, it would be a waste of time not to take a photo, so the few people stopped talking nonsense, turned on the flashlight and swept the pond.The pond below the village is not very big, but it is not small either. It is as big as half a football field. A few flashlights seem to be unable to take good care of it. Difficulties.

Five minutes passed quickly, but let alone a thief, there was not even a living thing. Several people put away their flashlights and looked at Ye Zhiqiu, as if they were waiting for Ye Zhiqiu's answer.

"...No reason! Do you really want me to go down and search for it myself?" Ye Zhiqiu frowned, looking at the surface of the water with some rotting animals floating, he felt repulsed, and when he didn't confirm that the thief was in the pond, It is simply impossible to ask others to search.Is it really necessary to kill the carbine to find out the thief? Isn't this too funny? Knowing that the thief is in the pond, you have to follow the trajectory of the previous life?Although he rejected this idea in his heart, he didn't have any good solution at this time. After all, the funeral of his last life was two years ago, and the funeral was held two years later. Will the thief still insist on hiding in the This pond has become a variable.

Ye Zhiqiu felt that the more he thought about it, the more 'chaotic' his mind became. At this moment, he was completely confused. What is the rebirth? He said it was rebirth, but what happened in the previous life deviated a lot, so he said it was not. Rebirth, some things can't be changed no matter how hard you try. Could it be that my own rebirth is also destined.

"Zhiqiu, we can't find the thief here, let's look elsewhere." Seeing Ye Zhiqiu standing motionless by the pond like a fool, Uncle Niu thought he was blaming himself for this. It was his father's funeral, and it was normal for him to have some mood swings and some abnormal behavior, so he didn't mean to blame him.

"Uncle Niu, you're right, let's look elsewhere, this thief is really not ordinary cunning, I saw him jump into this pond, why is he gone without a trace now, really What a strange thing!" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly snatched the flashlight from Uncle Niu, and loudly said on purpose, at this moment he has no other choice but to try his luck with the carbine, if it really goes against the previous life , it can only be blamed for his poor character, which can also indirectly prove that his appearance has disrupted a large part of his life, which may also be a good thing.

"Hmm!" Uncle Niu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to suddenly grab the flashlight in his hand, but after thinking about it, he felt that Ye Zhiqiu might be blaming himself for causing everyone to run away for nothing because of his recklessness, and wanted to personally Find the thief and make up for it.

The few people also sighed slightly. They originally had a lot of confidence in Ye Zhiqiu. At the same time, they also wanted to see whether Ye Zhiqiu's so-called power of prophecy was as miraculous as that of the Taoist priest of Tianji back then. Another Heavenly Mystery Daoist has been established, which is of great benefit and harmless to Hutan Village!I didn't expect that it would end in failure in the end, and I was always a little depressed.

"Fight it, dad, you have to protect me." Ye Zhiqiu turned around suddenly after they were more than ten meters away, turned on the flashlight, and a white light shone into the pond. Of course he didn't know Where the thief would be lurking, and he didn't know where he would show up, so he could only take random photos based on his feelings, but the next moment his heart was bleeding. After the light passed, the water surface was still empty, and the ghost shadow Not one.

"Zhiqiu, what's the matter, you still don't give up." Ye Zhiqiu's sudden turn of the head made Uncle Niu and the others stunned, not knowing what kind of tricks Ye Zhiqiu was up to.

"Alas! It seems that things are different and people are different. The time has deviated from time to time for two years. How could this trivial matter still wait for me to touch it on the established track?" Ye Zhiqiu was slightly disappointed in his heart, and sighed just now. Wanting to take back the flashlight, Uncle Niu suddenly pointed at the surface of the water that Ye Zhiqiu was illuminating, and exclaimed, "...the thief is really in the pond. Everyone, please surround the pond so that the thief doesn't get away. Two Dog, go and inform the village head, tell him to find someone to come over."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, and looked into the pond. At this moment, a black human head just came out of the water. He wiped the water droplets on his face with his hands, and at the same time spit out the sewage in his mouth. In the middle of the middle, the whole person was stunned, and then there was a deep fear on his face, his heart turned cold, and his face suddenly turned pale. He knew better than Ye Zhiqiu, the fate of being caught stealing cattle, isn't it? To lose this life is to be beaten into a cripple.
