The story of the Wise Mountain Thief

There is a mr. clerk named Li Zhisheng, who lives by writing letters, congratulatory messages, Cambodian posts and other documents to others.

One day he heard that two mountain thieves had come from a nearby mountain, often coming out at night to steal, but it did not hurt anyone.

Li Zhisheng thought to himself, I have five or two pieces of silver to keep properly, in case the thieves take it.

The silver was wrapped in a gray cloth and placed in the mezzanine of the cupboard.

Two days passed, and the thief did not come.

In the middle of the night, I heard a muffled sound in the courtyard.

Then two people came to the door of the house and opened the door to enter.

Li Zhisheng pretended to wake up and asked: Why did you two break into my house? One of them said: We want to ask you for some money, I'm afraid you won't give it, we'll find it ourselves."

Li Zhisheng said: You look for it, and when you find it, you will take it away.

The two men took five or two pieces of silver out of the cupboard and took it.

Li Zhisheng trailed behind them, and after seeing them in a hidden place entering a cave, he returned home.

The next day, a pit was dug in the low wall of the courtyard, and the excavated soil was pulled on the way to the cave, and a "careful trap" was written on the wall of the courtyard.

And he said to the people: I dug a pit to prevent thieves from stealing.

In the evening, I came to the hidden place in front of the cave early in the morning, and after seeing the two thieves going out, they came to the cave and took away all the thieves' silver.

The next night, the second thief came to Li Zhisheng's house to beg for the lost silver, and Li Zhisheng said: I did not steal your silver.

The thief said: Why are you still digging traps?

Li Zhisheng said: Dig this pit in order to teach the outlaws to come and disturb.

The second thief said: The silver will be in you, and the two of them searched in the courtyard of the house, but they did not find it.

When the two were about to leave, Li Zhisheng stopped the two and said: I see that you two are people who can be created, so it is better to change evil and return to righteousness.

I have a good friend named Guo Dacheng, who was an instructor in the army.

I write a letter to him, and you may defect to him, and he will take you in.

In the future, after making military merits, it will also glorify the township.

The two listened to Li Zhisheng's words and felt reasonable and grateful.

One of them said: My name is Wang Siliu, and his name is Liu Dabao.

The two of us had worked together to do shipping transactions, but due to the wind and waves, the ship overturned and destroyed, and there was no longer any capital to operate.

I had to do this theft.

Now, listening to the teachings of Brother Ren, we are willing to change from evil to righteousness and serve the country from the military.

Li Zhisheng said: Since you have changed from evil to righteousness, I will tell you that I have taken this silver, and I will give you the silver as a road fee.

Wang Siliu said: Where did you hide the silver, and we did not find it? Li Zhisheng said: Hide in the pit, because the pit is for you, and you will not search for it.

Liu Dabao said: I really admire your intelligence.

The three of them took the silver out of the pit, returned the silver they had stolen from others to the original owner, and took only Li Zhisheng's silver from the army.

People's fight against the two thieves by Li Zhisheng has become a street talk.
