My name is Lin Fei.

　　But more people like to call me "garbage", "little punk", "stinky scoundrel", or "pervert". I'm just a code name.

　　In fact, the name is just a code name, just like my name is Lin Fei, but also did not fly, but more like the root of the city wall of Luoyang next to the gutter of a mess of mud.

　　Lying on the top of the big acacia tree, I covered my head with a wide lotus leaf, squinted my eyes, stretched my neck, and stared at the garden of Mr. Wang's house across the street.

　　I was a man, looking at a woman, of course, and a beautiful young woman at that.

　　She was sitting on a swing in the garden, tilting her head, swinging happily to and fro, her snow-white neck flashing in the sunlight. The swing was sometimes thrown high over the fence, sometimes hidden in the shade of the trees, and silver bells of laughter spilled all over the ground.

　　The sun was so hot that it wilted the leaves, and the sweat that flowed almost clung to my eyelids, but I was still thieving and mesmerized by the sight.

　　"Second brother, you're peeking at Miss Wang again!" Under the tree, a man raised his head and screamed at me, two green dragons erupted from his nostrils on his dirty little face and abruptly retracted again.

　　"Shhh!" I raised my index finger and put it to my lips while waving my fist at him.

　　His name was Li Jiejie, a junior member of our Beggar Swindler Thief Robber Gang. I ranked second in the gang, that's because I'm smart, the boss can't be, once the offense, the government pursued, the boss must be the most suffer.

　　The gun hit the head out of the bird.

　　"You do not look, quickly down ah! The brothers are waiting for you in front of the White Horse Temple." Li Jiejie looked at me blearily, such a steep and straight big acacia tree, not many people in the gang dared to climb it, so when I heroically climbed the tree in order to peek at Miss Wang's family, under the watchful eyes of ten or so brothers in the gang, I got a little bit of pathetic pride.

　　"Lustful." That's what the brothers in the gang said in the end.

　　Does someone like me deserve pride?

　　Greedily taking one more look at Ms. Wang, I descended from the tree in a puff of smoke, took Li Jiejie with me, and strutted towards the White Horse Temple in the south of the city.

　　Along the way, when pedestrians saw us, they all covered their noses and frowned to avoid us. Even pugnacious men had to walk around us.

　　Because Li Jiejie's body is really too stinky, like a rancid meal after a few nights, flies are staring at him and buzzing around. Which brother in the gang has a stuffy nose and cold, close to smell him, nose will pass.

　　Of course I was no better, I hadn't bathed for half a month, and my smile was dark and brilliant.

　　But my clothes are very clean, although worn, but very clean.

　　The White Horse Temple in the late afternoon was quiet, the incense burners had all left, and the breathless chanting of the monks could be heard faintly from within the yellow temple walls.

　　More than ten ragged teenagers gathered around the wall, some were staring blankly, some were reclining and dozing, and some were concentrating on catching lice.

　　"Fei, you're finally here!" Among the teenagers, the big, black and strong bear greeted me.

　　I greeted lazily, "Hello, boss."

　　Big Bear is the boss of the Begging Scamming Thieving Robbing Gang, he is as his name suggests, he is black and strong, and has a lot of hair on his arms, I think his dad is most likely a wild man in the mountains.

　　We are all orphans, usually wandering the streets and have nothing to do. In order to have enough to eat and drink, at my initiative, we formed this gang whose name seems to be very long.

　　Seeing me, more than a dozen brethren gathered around, and Big Bear said in an urn, "Little Fei, it's the same old rules, you come up with the idea, and the gang will listen to your arrangement."

　　I hurriedly waved my hands, "No, no, no! The idea is from your boss, I'm just providing a suggestion, suggestion, understand?" When something goes wrong, I don't want to take the blame.

　　Big Bear impatiently said, "Alright, alright, whatever you say. We all know that your deadbeat dad is a showman, you're the only one who likes to pick words!"

　　I smiled sarcastically, I always like to remind them that my dead dad is a Xiu Cai. Xiu Cai, you know? A person who can read and write, and can be an official in the imperial examinations!

　　But when Dad was alive, it seemed like he could only be called out and scolded by the county office's servants.

　　"For this plan, the location is at the White Horse Temple Maharajah's Hall, and the target is the merit box filled with copper plates." I purposely coughed, put my hands behind my back, and put on my full accent, "Do the little ones understand?"

　　Li Jiejie sucked his nose hard, "Second brother, we already knew, so just quickly tell us what to do."

　　I gave him a blank look, "What's your hurry kid? You're always on the outside looking in anyway, what's the point of telling you?"

　　Er Huzi, the least courageous of the gang, hesitantly said, "Second Brother, there are so many monks in the White Horse Temple, isn't it too risky for us to steal money?"

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

　　"Coward, what do you know!" I said viciously, "Today Magistrate Zhou is performing a puja for his dead father, most of the monks in the temple have gone to the Yamen, and there aren't many left. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now, can't you see that there aren't even any policemen patrolling the streets in the afternoon?"

　　Da Xiong said convincingly, "Lao Er is right, I just took a peek, there are only three or four vultures left in the White Horse Temple."

　　I said triumphantly, "So, my plan is that Er Huzi, Xiao Qian, and Zhu Da Mao will be the first to act, your target will be the White Horse Temple's vegetable garden, pretending to steal cabbages to lure the bald donkeys over. Wang Fugui, you are the fastest, you act in the second batch, first enter the Daxiongbao Hall, then run desperately towards the back hall, in this way, the bald donkeys in charge of guiding the incenses will definitely chase you, and the Daxiongbao Hall will be empty."

　　Big Bear shouted excitedly, "I understand! Then we go in as the third group, pick up the merit box and run. I'm the strongest, so one of us can pick it up!"

　　I nodded, "No need for all of us to go in, leave a few people to keep watch in case of accidents. Now I'll count to one, two, three, everyone spread out, start moving!"

　　More than a dozen brothers immediately scattered, I first followed the three people of Er Huzi, around to the south wall, let them step on my shoulders, one by one, climbed over and tumbled into the vegetable field. I lay on my back on the wall, peering nervously. Soon, the monks heard the movement and all ran over. For a while, chickens flew and dogs jumped, the monks' drinking and cursing and Erhuizi's and their fleeing east and west were in chaos.

　　The first step was successful!

　　I drew out the piccolo in my arms and loudly blew three bird calls.

　　The plan proceeded step by step as I expected.

　　The two tigers a few by the monks beat up a few times, or let them go, although the monks, down to the hands but not compassionate, looking at the two tigers swollen panda eyes, I laughed happily.

　　I am always happy to see others in bad luck, this is my only joy outside of peeping at Miss Wang.

　　Not long after, I heard a series of frantic running footsteps coming from the temple gate there.

　　Got it!

　　I raised my arms and cheered, and without noticing, I fell off the wall and came down hard.

　　Holy shit!

　　I had actually fallen in the vegetable field of the White Horse Temple!

　　Covering my mouth in pain, I was just about to get up when a pair of hemp shoes suddenly appeared in front of me.

　　Oops!

　　I raised my head, oh my god, it was actually the presiding master of the White Horse Temple, Master Gaya Ye!

　　The whole Luoyang city knows, Gaya Ye is a very bull bald donkey, even Tang Xuanzong in the palace, also have to honor him as a living Buddha.

　　Because Gaya's predictions are as good as God's, he is the best prophet in the history of the world.

　　His prophecies were never wrong.

　　But this cowman, seldom show his face, make mysterious. Maybe he knows he looks ugly, skin and bones, like a skeleton.

　　I was in a hurry to get out of this, so I hurriedly smiled fawningly, ''Master Gaya, I've heard a lot about you! My humble admiration for you is like a torrent of Luo water, continuous and unceasing, and like ......"

　　"Sixteen years, your Yang life span is only sixteen years." Gaya Ye stared at me in horror, the seven-colored luster of the rainbow shooting out from his pupils.

　　I was shaken.

　　The sunny sky was suddenly cloudy and dim.

　　"Boom." The sky violently exploded with a thunderbolt, dazzling blue electric light broke through the clouds and split down, Gaya Ye was motionless and dumbfounded, and had already turned into a charcoal of charcoal, emitting a pungent aroma of roasted meat.

　　Gaba was killed by lightning.

　　I looked at him dumbfounded, suddenly screamed wildly and rushed out of the White Horse Temple.

　　The rain poured down.

　　That year, I was sixteen.

　　Heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning.

　　Soybean-sized raindrops smashed down intensively, splashing clattering arrows, dark sky, as if lashed out countless snow-white whips.

　　The field of vision is white, pedestrians are hiding under the eaves. Only I was like a madman, running wildly through the empty streets on one side, shivering with fear on the other.

　　I knew that I was dead.

　　Gaya's prophecies have always been accurate, and being struck to death by lightning proves the old saying: "Whoever leaks the secrets of the heavens, the heavens will condemn him!"

　　I'm going to fuck Gaya's ancestors! I'm only sixteen years old! I'm only sixteen years old!

　　I don't know how long I've been running, but with a "thud", I fell to my knees, my legs weakened, and the sky was spinning. Here is already the countryside, the Luo water is long, like a green and blue ribbon, the river rain fog rolled up, empty and cold. Wiping my face with all my might, I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears.

　　I was going to die soon. It wasn't until late at night that I came to terms with this cruel fact.
