Chapter 5 The Toad's Nest
This is a small alley in Xuanwu (District) of Nancheng near the south exit of Niujie, and Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan successfully found the large compound located in the depths of the alley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As soon as the two of them entered the hospital, they were interrogated by an old lady who lived at home, which was also a normal situation back then, Hong Yanwu was not weak at all, so he asked the old lady about which room Zou Shuncai lived in.
When asked about the location of "Zou Toad", he also thanked him repeatedly, appearing both polite and educated, in exchange for an old walnut-like smile.
As "Huozi" said, in front of the two small West Houses in the deepest part of the courtyard, there were some old newspapers, broken cardboard boxes, bottomless broken basins, and broken water scoops with leaky holes. This is also the place pointed out by the old lady, and it should be the snail house where Zou Shuncai lives.
So in front of the toad nest of "Zou Toad", Hong Yanwu tried to knock on the door first.
Luckily, there were people in the house. Soon I heard a voice in the voice of a cigarette and alcohol responding, "Hey, which grandson? What's the matter?"
Hong Yanwu immediately gestured at Chen Liquan, wanting him to be discharged from the hospital. This is what they said in advance on the way here, and as soon as they found someone, Chen Liquan went outside to wait for him.
But what Hong Yanwu didn't expect was that Chen Liquan actually regretted it when it came to the end. He actually took the initiative to yell at the house, "I'm your grandfather!", and then kicked the door open.
Hearing only a "click", the iron latch inserted in the door suddenly fell off, and even half of the door frame was split by the nails on the latch.
Immediately followed Chen Liquan without saying a word, Hong Yanwu understood that Chen Liquan was determined to mix, but there was nothing to stop it for the time being, he could only shake his head, sighed that Chen Liquan was too "angry", and then followed up quickly.
There was only one person in the room who was lying on the bed. As soon as this man saw two menacing men breaking in one after the other, he realized that something was wrong.
He was so excited that he immediately turned over and got out of bed, but in a hurry, he couldn't find his shoes, so he had to stand on the ground barefoot, but his mouth was much more polite.
"Two masters, look at the face, who are you? Aren't you looking for the wrong place? I'm just a ...... picking up rags."
The room was dimly lit and dark everywhere.
But Hong Yanwu took a look at it, and still recognized that this person was the master who led people to raid his own house back then, tall and tall, with thick limbs, a horizontal face, and a large scabies on his left cheek.
The only difference is that Zou Shuncai's high-spirited spirit is gone, and his current appearance is too unkempt. He has a scruffy beard, red eyes, and scorched teeth, and has the virtue of a smoker and drunkard.
"Don't be so polite, put on your shoes first. Rest assured, that's right. Aren't you the 'Zou Toad'? That's what we're here for you. ”
Hong Yanwu said without a smile, and then stopped paying attention to Zou Shuncai, and then just looked at his "toad nest" inside and out, up and down.
In Hong Yanwu's eyes, the two huts outside here are undoubtedly very interesting.
Don't look at the simplicity of the house, the walls are dark and the house is slanted, the curtains are tightly drawn, and there are even several thick log stakes propped up on the beams in the house, as if a gust of wind can blow the house down.
But what is surprising is that, except for the bed and a dining table, the rest of the limited space in the room is almost occupied by pots and jars and some old wooden furniture. Relatively speaking, it is rare to pick up scrap newspapers, scrap iron and copper at home.
And these jars, old furniture, and the filthy mess of wine bottles and dirty bowls on the table are not the same. Although most of the things are also dusty, they are placed in a very orderly and well-organized manner.
Blue and white, pastel, enamel, hat tubes, plum bottles, general jars, everything is placed smoothly, and no other sundries are placed around, undoubtedly to avoid accidental damage such as bumps. Not to mention, there are many small objects that are shiny and slippery, and they are often played with at first glance.
This scene may not be obvious to most people in this era, and some people may even think that Zou Shuncai prefers to collect old furniture and old furnishings. But for Hong Yanwu, he can undoubtedly see through it at a glance, this "Zou Toad" is definitely a knowledgeable "player".
Putting aside his character, it can even be said that this old boy is no less than the well-known "Teacher Ma", a shrewd person with foresight and collection consciousness that is rare in this era.
Once he figured out this matter, Hong Yanwu felt a lot more at ease, because looking at this meaning, the old boy should have got most of his family wealth out, not out of the house. If there is no special reason, there is a high probability that his mother's jade flat square is still in the hands of this dog.
"In this room, it's really smoky, stinky, what's the smell?"
Chen Liquan couldn't see anything strange in the room, he only felt that the smell in the room was too big, and he couldn't stay with people.
It's no wonder, probably because he was afraid of prying eyes, the hut was tightly covered by Zou Shuncai, impermeable, and the curtains were drawn during the day. It seems that he drank and slept again, smoking, smelling of wine, and smoking, all mixed together, and it was strange if he didn't smoke it.
Listening to these prickly words, Zou Shuncai only looked at Chen Liquan, but did not say anything, as if he was still pondering the intention of the two.
But Hong Yanwu sneered and gave another sentence in order to arch the fire. "If it's four-legged, it won't die. It's just a two-legged living person like us. ”
Chen Liquan couldn't help but laugh, he admired Hong Yanwu's cold jokes.
"I said, what are you laughing at, this is a toad nest! What's wrong with this smell?" Hong Yanwu continued to squeeze people as if he was afraid that his words would not be damaged enough.
This made Zou Shuncai a little nervous, and he glared at Hong Yanwu with extreme annoyance. "Who the hell are you, how do you open your mouth and curse?"
Hong Yanwu pushed back with a word. "Who heard me scolding?
Zou Shuncai finally showed a fierce face, and threatened with a fierce eye.
"Even if Lao Tzu is a toad, it is also a vajra toad cast in steel and iron, which cannot be broken or smashed. If you're going to come to me today, be careful to knock off your front front teeth. ”
Hong Yanwu was not stunned at all, sneered, and responded-for-tat.
"I've seen a lot of toads, but I dare to claim that they can't be broken and smashed, but I really haven't seen them!
As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, and the hostility is indeed quite obvious, unlike the situation where it can be said well.
So Zou Shuncai's bastard strength also came up. He suddenly rushed two steps to the side, and succeeded in taking an axe standing by the wall in his hand, and his courage was immediately strong.
"Little bunnies, grandpa didn't have you when he bullied people. I'm not a soft persimmon!"
Hong Yanwu suddenly laughed "hehe".
"Yo ho, make a broken thing to chop wood, you think you are a fairy? Children make games! I also tell you, if you want to play Sanqingzi, knock blood gourd, you really find your ancestors! Come, if you don't cut it, you are my grandson!"
Zou Shuncai's eyes were really red, and he rushed over with an axe raised like crazy and rushed straight towards Hong Yanwu, still screaming in his mouth.
"Run, you're my grandson! I'm fighting with you!"
With Zou Shuncai's vicious howl, the atmosphere suddenly became white-hot.
But just when this old boy rushed over violently, he was about to approach Hong Yanwu two steps, and when he was about to chop the axe, Chen Liquan on the side moved.
I saw Chen Liquan suddenly fly up with a kick, accurate and ruthless, hitting Zou Shuncai's chest, and actually kicked the kid backwards, and after falling to the ground, he couldn't control a backward wheel, and then with a "bang", he hit the foot of the bed hard.
This is good, although the axe in Zou Shuncai's hand fell to the ground, there was an extra bag on his head. hit him with Venus in his eyes, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
The most annoying thing is that Hong Yanwu took the opportunity to say cool things again.
"That's right, the toad's two eyes are on the top of the brain. If you want to see people, you still have to lie down to see clearly. It's not right, it's still not right, you have a problem practicing this 'toad skill', it's not as authentic as Ouyang Feng'......"
Good guy, Hong Yanwu got carried away and didn't pay attention, and Master Jin's role also made him talk about it.
In this era, how many people in the mainland know "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Zou Shuncai doesn't know what it means. But the old boy knew that he was ashamed, and when he had eased up, he screamed, picked up the axe, and pounced again unwillingly.
This time, Hong Yanwu didn't allow Chen Liquan to help, and took the initiative to step forward, and a "neck hug" was put on the ground for Zou Shuncai again.
This has gone down, whether it is from the endurance of the body bones or the world he has seen in his life, this time he has made Zou Shuncai understand. Through the pain in his back and buttocks, he finally knew that the feelings of the two masters in front of him were not something he could deal with by playing tricks.
So the kid stopped completely, and the axe stopped picking up, and reverted to a timid and obscene appearance. even asked with a little grievance and cried.
"Who the hell are you, two? Why did I mess with you? I have to be a ghost, right?"
Since he had successfully achieved the strategic goal of defeating the enemy's arrogance, Hong Yanwu finally got to the point.
He said with a smile, "I really don't know each other, we are old acquaintances! My surname is Hong, and my family lives in Furuli, don't you have a relative named Mao Yuanfang, remember it? I was only seven years old that year, but you took someone to raid my house for my words!"
Zou Shuncai's face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and his eyes began to roll around, but his mouth was shirking responsibility.
"It's a public errand, but you can't rely on me...... What are you doing today?"
Hong Yanwu hooked a stool with his foot and sat down with a grin.
"Pretend to be confused, right, what about the jade flat square that you copied from our house? I'll advise you now, don't be stupid, take it out quickly!"
"Ouch, brother. At the beginning, I had to hand over everything to the public, not to mention that you look at me like this, I have to live by picking up rags. I can't afford to pay you even if I want to. Why don't you spare me, and I'll give you compensation? Why don't you just knock you and get a ......?"
This Zou Shuncai was absolutely unexpected, just like that, he really knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hong Yanwu.
Chen Liquan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Hong Yanwu.
It can be seen that Zou Shun came to this set, but Hong Yanwu was angry. He could probably guess what the toad was thinking, nothing more than that he thought they were young and had limited vision, and wanted to get by.
Not to mention, if you kowtow, you can keep a treasure steadily, for this scoundrel who doesn't take his face seriously, it's really worth it.
"Okay, since you said so, you can't take it out or pay for it, and I can't make it too difficult for you. But I see that these jars and jars of yours are very good, so I just let me smash them on the ground, listen to the noise, and let out my anger......"
Zou Shuncai's face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled. "What are you going to do?"
Hong Yanwu narrowed his eyes, and said with a gaze like a knife, "Don't do anything, just report it back! Since you smashed our house, I also want to smash your family's things!" )
