ββExcerpt from "The Defense of Anfeng City, a Famous City in the World"
Anfeng City, is a big city in the world, its permanent population, has exceeded one million, Anfeng is prosperous, has been far away from the surrounding towns, every first day of the new year, the fifteenth day, the people of the nearby towns and villages have rushed to Anfeng or sell, or purchase daily necessities, called the market. Therefore, Anfeng City is the most lively on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
At this moment, on the first day of the seventh month, it was noon, Yong'an Gate, that is, the West Gate of Anfeng, gradually became deserted from the pedestrians in the morning, Ma Xiaoliu and Guawa and Monkey sat in a teahouse not far from the West Gate to drink tea, and the three of them raised their heads from time to time to look at the West Gate City Gate. These people, since following Commander Ye, the other people have different eyes when they look at a few people, and the monthly system immediately has the initial two taels of silver rising to ten taels, and the purses of the three people are gradually bulging, and the waist board is also straighter, that is, looking at the brothers of the previous gang in the gang, they seem to feel a little superior. And a few people followed Commander Ye around all day and didn't see anything ordered by Commander Ye, it seemed that a few people followed Ye Jianan every day, Ye Jianan felt a little annoyed and casually found an excuse, and it seemed that Commander Ye glanced at a few people, and specially ordered an important matter to be handed over to a few people. The three of them had been drinking tea at the gates of each city for more than ten days, and seeing that the days were passing day by day, the first thing that followed the instructions of Commander Ye had not been completed, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little anxious in their hearts.
"Sixth brother, you said that this Ye Commander is true, what is not easy to do, the first time I ran into this, what about the millions of people in Anfeng City, how to find it, not to mention the ...... in Nancheng" The monkey scratched his head, as if he felt that this matter was a little difficult to do.
"Monkey, what are you talking about, Commander Ye's business, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it." Gua Wa next to her interjected with a straight face.
"This ...... I'm not saying I won't do it, by the way, what do you say are the relationship between those three people and Commander Ye? The monkey also seemed to feel that something was wrong with what he said, and changed the subject.
"I see, it may not be a friend, it should be an enemy." Ma Xiaoliu took a sip of tea and said.
"Why, why not friends but enemies?" Guawa and Monkey asked in unison.
"You guys, it's just that the experience of the rivers and lakes is too shallow, and you can't see it. Brother will teach you a trick today, but at night you have to be one in and one out. Ma Xiaoliu smiled.
One in and one out, is a common saying in the Tiger Gang, one in means to eat, one out, that is, to go to the kiln to find a girl.
Guawa and the monkey glanced at each other, and both nodded in agreement, this is also this, the purse is also bulging, to change the past, this Ma Xiaoliu is in and out, and it is not possible to spend half of the monthly system of the two.
"Think about it, what did Commander Ye say when he explained?" Ma Xiaoliu said.
"I didn't say anything, I just gave us three portraits and asked us to find someone according to the picture." Guawa said.
"Then think about it again, what if you find someone?" Ma Xiaoliudao.
"Leave it to the Commander." The monkey said, thinking about it and exclaiming, "Sixth brother, you are so treacherous, so you can enter and exit." β
"Haha, this is all Jianghu experience, otherwise you can call me Sixth Brother?" Ma Xiaoliuji is happy. Gua Wa next to her was still ignorant, "What are you talking about, I don't understand." β
The monkey pulled Guawa and said, "You still don't understand, if it's a friend, the commander will let us find someone and give it to him?" What if you were going to do this to your friends? β
Guawa slapped her thigh, "Yes, if it's a friend, you must invite it to the house, or the commander will pick it up in person." β
Both of them were a little annoyed, and Ma Xiaoliu looked at the two of them on the side and said with a smile, "The experience of the rivers and lakes can be seen in this kind of trivial matter." You two, let's stare at it for a while, I'll doze off. Ma Xiaoliu put together a few benches into a makeshift bed, and was lying down on his back, but he heard some intermittent words from Guawa, "Six...... Six...... Sixth brother, you ...... You...... You're ......."
"Guawa, what's the matter with you, the sheep is crazy, the sixth brother is trying to sleep." Ma Xiaoliu scolded with a hint of annoyance.
"Six...... Sixth brother, you hurry up, you ......" The monkey next to him kept pulling Ma Xiaoliu's arm, and his eyes looked out in a daze.
"Six...... Sixth brother, those three...... Two people, coming. Guava finally held back a complete sentence.
Ma Xiaoliu grunted, turned around and flipped up, but he used too much force and knocked over the bench he had just set up, he didn't care at all, just looked outside.
"Monkey, Guawa, ...... Quick, catch those two. Ma Xiaoliu didn't even notice it, and his words couldn't be broken.
Seeing that the three of them were about to go away, fortunately, several of them were familiar with the local snakes, hula, the three of them rushed out of the teahouse and chased after them, leaving only the owner of the teahouse behind and shouting, "Guest officer, guest officer, tea money, tea money has not been paid." β
Ma Xiaoliu and a few people chased forward and stopped the two, Ma Xiaoliu looked around, while looking, he muttered to himself, "Why is there one missing?" He looked up and asked, "What about the other one?" β
There were two people opposite, one was of medium stature, and the other was thin, and the thin man was the first to say angrily, "Who of you, what are you doing to stop our two brothers, what is there and one who is not, go away!" Before the words fell, he wanted to bypass Ma Xiaoliu and walk out.
"Stop! Do you still want to go? Ma Xiaoliu shouted, watching the people around him gradually gather around, Ma Xiaoliu shouted, "The tigers help to do things, and the idle people are avoided!" Suddenly, the people who watched the excitement scattered, and more than a dozen people came out of the crowd at once, and said to Ma Xiaoliu, "Sixth brother, is there anyone who needs a brother?" β
Ma Xiaoliu took out a few paintings from his arms and said to the monkey and Guawa, "Come and see, are these two people?" The people in the painting have clear lines and clear images, it is the two people in front of him, Ma Xiaoliu nodded, and said to everyone, "Arrest these two people and send them to the Commander's Mansion." Everyone rushed up and tied the two of them together, without any scruples about the two of them screaming all the way.
Ma Xiaoliu and the others escorted the two of them into the small building in the backyard of Tianxing Building, and along the way, the monkey and Gua Wa also deliberately went to the end, staring at the two intently, for fear that something would go wrong, and in the blink of an eye, the two ran away. locked the two of them in the firewood room of the small building, sent two people to guard them, and then reported back to Ye Jianan.
Ye Jianan rarely eats in his small building, so the firewood room has not been used a few times, and when he opened the door, there was a musty smell, a damp smell, mixed with various smells, and the two of them couldn't help but sneeze a few times, and shouted bad luck in their hearts. Both of them are gangsters in Qingshui Village, idle all day long, doing some stealing chickens and dogs, on weekdays, they also enter the wealth with their left hand, and the role of their right hand scattering, or go to the Yihong Courtyard in the town to lean on the red and hug Cui, the two and another person smell the same, so they go in and out together, today's first day of the new year, the three people who were supposed to go to Anfeng City together to see the excitement together, by the way, to see if there is a chance to make a fortune, who expected that one person was about to eat bad last night, and he went out seven or eight times a night, and when the two went to Anfeng City together, was already lying on the bed with a pale face, and he didn't even have the strength to walk, so the two of them comforted and went on the road alone. But who knew that he had just walked to Anfeng City, he was stopped by a few people, took a few pieces of drawing paper and gestured to himself, and muttered about how there was one less person, the two of them were gangsters in Qingshui Village, and there was still a price in the eyes, the man shouted the Tiger Gang, and the onlookers dispersed in an instant, and more than a dozen people from the Tiger Gang suddenly appeared, this is the gate of the city at noon, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, and under a roar, there are more than a dozen people coming, it can be seen that this Tiger Gang is also a first-class gang. The more they walked, the more frightened they became, and they actually walked to the backyard of Tianxing Tower on the first floor of Anfeng, and the two of them thought hard for a long time, and they didn't think when they had offended such a big person.
In the dark, one person asked, "Hey, you said that such a big yard is inhabited by a big landowner, this is much more magnificent than the peeling yellow family in our village." β
"It doesn't matter who he is, even if he is the emperor, he can't hold on to us without a reason." Another voice came.
"You kid, did you offend some big guy? Otherwise, how would people come up and catch us? The voice from earlier said.
"I still want to ask you, the mother-in-law you were in a coma with medicine a few days ago, after you got into her, she didn't want to die or live, I heard that the mother-in-law seems to have a relative in the city." Another voice said.
"No, but it seems that the mother-in-law doesn't seem to be from our town, hey, let me tell you, that mother-in-law is really good, a woman who has given birth to two babies, and the tits are still very warped." The voice smacked its mouth a few times, as if it was still savoring something.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a voice that didn't know where to hit came, and another voice came, "It's all about to happen, and we are still so lustful, we have all been caught here, and we are still thinking about some messy things." β
"Oh no, I remember, the mother-in-law who went to her a few days ago seems to have heard that the son of the sister-in-law of the brother-in-law of one of her cousins-in-law is in the city, and it is said that she is still an official." A voice from the front said.
"That's it, you're a muddy ball, you don't look at other people's backgrounds, you can't control the thing below, now it's okay, even your brothers will suffer with you."
"How do I know, then it's time, who cares about this ......" the voice muttered, gradually fading.
When night fell, there was no light in the firewood room, the two had not eaten a grain of rice since noon, had not drunk a sip of water, and were already curled up with hunger at the moment, the two complained to each other without a match, and suddenly there was a "clang", the door opened, and before the two of them could straighten up, they heard a person calling, "The commander has an order, take these two people to the hall!" "Yes!" When several people answered, two of them put one hand around their arms, and dragged them out. I don't know how many turns I turned, and finally came to a relatively large room, "Poof! Poof! Two times, the two were still on the ground.
The two touched the wool blanket on the ground, soft and light, and the two of them were secretly frightened and smacked their tongues, "Such an expensive wool blanket is too soft and warm and too luxurious to cover the body, and it is actually used here to cushion the ground." But I heard a report from a person next to me, "Commander Ye, the person has been brought." β
The two secretly glanced at the main seat of the lobby, but saw a young man in black sitting on a chair, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, it was Ye Jianan! Finding that the eyes of the young man in black swept over, the two quickly bowed their heads, turned around and knelt on the ground, and the thin man said tremblingly, "This master, no, young master, no, this son, I, the villain, the villain doesn't know that the mother-in-law is you, a relative of your old man, I, I really don't dare anymore." Please be merciful, and spare the villain, this time. The two of them kept kneeling and kowtowing, but they didn't hear any sound, in the entire huge hall, only the kowtow of the two people sounded, and in the night sky where there were only a few lone stars outside, it was even more eeriely quiet.
When the two of them were overwhelmed by this invisible pressure, a cold voice came, "Wang Xiaoshui, dumb, don't you remember this seat?" β
"This adult, you have recognized the wrong person, we are not Wang Xiaoshui, dumb, we can also speak." The other tried to stand up as he spoke.
"Humph!" Ye Jianan snorted coldly, and the man quickly fell to his knees again, not daring to move. But a cold voice came, "Go down and close the door." "Yes!" When everyone left and there were only three people left in the room, Ye Jianan slowly got up and walked in front of the two. "On the evening of April 16, on the hill next to Linshui Town, I ate one of your roast chickens."
"This son, you are so noble, how could you have eaten our ......", like a flash of lightning, flashed in the minds of the two of them in an instant, and the thin man couldn't help but stand up, looking at Ye Jianan in surprise, "You... You..."
"Wow!" Ye Jianan didn't wait for him to finish, kicked out, hit the knee, Wang Xiaoshui's words were suddenly amputated, and at the same time, his leg was numb, and he knelt down again. "Say! There is also a Zhang Dahu, where did he go? Ye Jianan shouted. The two of them were the scoundrels of the village, and at this moment they saw that there was only one person on the other side, and they were not burly, looking strong and powerful, the two glanced at each other, and suddenly the two of them rolled up left and right, and threw themselves towards Ye Jianan.
Ye Jianan sneered, swung his shirt, took three steps back, one horse step, and two fists, "Poof!" "Two sounds, right in the abdomen of the two of them, how strong Ye Jianan is at this moment, the two of them suddenly fell to the ground, curled up, and cold sweat came straight out." I don't care what your original name was, at that time you said that your name was Wang Xiaoshui, you were called mute, then now, you are Wang Xiaoshui, you are mute! Ye Jianan shook his head, "Since you can speak, how can you be called dumb." He leaned over, pinched the mute's neck with one hand, and slowly lifted his whole person up, looking at the horror in the eyes of the two, Ye Jianan suddenly became a little inexplicably excited, and after a while, the mute's face was as red as blood, and his hands kept grabbing the hand that was tightly pinching his neck, trying to let go of a good breath, and his feet kept kicking in the void.
Wang Xiaoshui on the side turned over and knelt down, and kept kowtowing, "Childe, you let him go, we don't know Taishan, and we collided with your old man's ......" A trace of cruelty and blood, at the corner of Ye Jianan's mouth, slowly bloomed. Seeing the mute face emerge one by one due to his difficulty breathing, Ye Jianan let go of his hand slightly, the dumb man opened his mouth involuntarily, stretched out his tongue and breathed heavily, the white light flashed, and the dumb man "Ah! With a loud shout, Ye Jianan instantly retreated three feet, Wang Xiaoshui's kowtow stopped abruptly, and watched in horror as blood kept pouring out of the gaps between the dumb fingers covering his mouth, and Ye Jianan, who was carefully admiring the dagger in his hand. The blade is as bright as a mirror, and there is a drop of blood dripping from the tip of the knife, which is dripping on the white wool blanket just now.
The dumb man rolled on the ground in pain, Wang Xiaoshui knelt close to Ye Jianan, and kept kowtowing, "My lord, you can spare me, my lord, it's my dog's eyes that don't know Mount Tai, my lord, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life, my lord ......" A chuckle, "I won't kill you, after all, you didn't kill me at that time, and you didn't beat me at that time." β
"Ah, thank you, sir!" Wang Xiaoshui was overjoyed. "Humph!" A cold snort came, "But I won't let you go, I remember, you gave me the drugged roast chicken." Suddenly, Wang Xiaoshui's joy froze on his face, he was shocked, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing, "My lord, you have a lot of ......."
"I think about it, is it the left hand or the right hand, which hand handed it to me?" Ye Jianan seemed to be thinking hard, looking at Wang Xiaoshui looking at him in horror, his body couldn't stop crawling towards the door, he deliberately raised a knife on the dumb body, and was facing Wang Xiaoshui, but slowly wasting time, just to let Wang Xiaoshui taste the fear of the danger approaching but powerless to resist before breaking his hand. Looking at the mute who was rolling on the ground because of pain and Wang Xiaoshui who retreated to the corner of the wall due to panic, Ye Jianan suddenly felt a burst of happiness in his heart!
"Say! Where is Zhang Dahu? The sudden burst of shouting, for Wang Xiaoshui, was no less than a thunderbolt, he held his head, cowered in the corner, trembling, "He, he is in Qingshui Village." β
After a long time, a miserable scream came, in the night of this lonely and lonely Anfeng City, some people cried and bleed, some people were happy to take revenge, and some people, in the scarred grief and anger in their hearts, took a long breath.
