Volume I, Chapter 7

On the day of Daddy Stinky Poop Ball's birthday. As soon as it was dark, Wang Hongju sneaked out of the house with a slingshot, and the two friends were already waiting for him at the mouth of the alley. They muttered a few words softly, and then walked towards the Stinky Ball House together. The slingshot team has not been active for some time, and their hands are itching, and tonight they are going to make a big fuss about the traitor's birthday party, and the three of them are very excited along the way.

There is a big courtyard facing south in an alley of Gulou East Street, there are two stone lions squatting in front of the tall blue brick doorway, and the two black lacquered gates are very heavy, which is the home of the stinky ball. There was a black car and a rickshaw parked at the gate of the Shi family, and two Japanese soldiers and several policemen dressed in black stood in front of the Shi family with guns.

Wang Hongju and the others hid in a distant place and looked at the probe. After a while, the black door closed, and a melodious huqin sound came from inside, and the birthday party of Daddy Stinky Ball began.

Seeing that the time had come, Wang Hongju and his two companions slipped to a lower section of the wall under the cover of darkness, and dragged them up to the house. They tiptoed down the ridge to the roof of the house and the three of them lay on the roof of the house to peep into the yard. The home of the stinky ball is a square courtyard, and in the spacious courtyard in the middle are five tables of eight immortals, the tables are full of chickens, ducks and fish, and the tables are full of people who congratulate Shi Shu on his birthday. A large wattage light bulb was temporarily hoisted in the courtyard to illuminate the courtyard. The father of the ball man, Shi Shuli, sat at the main table with a Japanese man with a red beard, and the Japanese man was Shi Shuli's immediate boss: the spy leader Ichiro Ono, and next to Ono sat Ma Liangchen. This Ma Liangchen has been a county magistrate in a county in Hebei for a period of time, and he feels that it is not as fast as being a county magistrate in a small place to get promoted to make money in Beiping, so he resigned from the county magistrate and returned to Beiping and joined the Japanese secret service.

The mother of the stinky ball is a tall woman with a knife-backed face and a water snake waist, and she always has a flower on her ear sideburns, which is nicknamed "A Flower", and she looks like a beautiful woman. Today, at the feast of the Shi Shuli family, a flower was out of the limelight, and I saw her wearing a big red tight-fitting cheongsam, which tightly wrapped her chest and buttocks, and showed the slenderness of her waist. With a red flower in his ears, he diligently revolved around several wine tables, and kept pouring wine and food for the guests. I saw that she patted this person on the shoulder for a while, and threw a wink at another person for a while, or she was busy with a few whispers to a female guest. According to the rules, children can't sit with their elders, they sit at a small table in the corner of the courtyard to eat, and the stinky ball is gnawing on a fat chicken leg with relish.

Under the front porch of the main house, there was a woman dressed in ancient costumes who shook her water sleeves and sang in a low voice with her erhu. The spy leader Ono is not only a China expert but also a fan of Peking opera, he drank wine and listened to the play with relish, and when he heard the rise, he gave a thumbs up to the female actor, "Yo Xi!" Yo West! "Applause. Shi Shuli, Ma Liangchen and others looked at the faces of the Japanese and gave a thumbs up: "Yo Xi!" Yo West! As long as the Japanese are happy, the two of them will be happy.

At this time, a flower swayed over, she stuck to the Japanese side to pour him a glass of wine and then picked up a glass of wine, and then said in a delicate tone: "Ono Taijun, today you are the guest of my family, you must not be polite, I wish you a good drink, have fun, come, I toast you!" ”

Some drunken Ono put his arms around the woman's thin waist and said, "Today is a good night and a beautiful woman toasting a beautiful wine, how dare I not be happy with such a warm reception from Mrs. Shi?" After he finished speaking, he took a drink from the wine glass, and then took the opportunity to pinch it on the buttocks of a flower, and a flower flashed in a shy manner, and then leaned into the arm socket of Ono and let out a few laughs. Yizhihua raised her wine glass with a smile and drank the wine in her glass, and then she filled Ono with a glass of wine and said, "Taijun, I want to toast you with a glass of wine!" Thank you for your cultivation of my husband! Yihua pointed at her husband with an orchid and said, "I hope you will take care of me after the ceremony!" ”

Ono raised his glass very happily and said, "It's easy to say, as long as you have one heart with the Imperial Japanese Army, you won't have a future!" Come, everyone toast to Japan-China cooperation, coexistence and common prosperity! He raised his head and drank it all again.

Seeing that Ono had finished drinking, Yizhihua picked up his wine glass to drink, but Ono stretched out his hand to stop her: "Mrs. Shi, slow down." He casually picked up a large porcelain bowl from the table, poured it full of wine, pointed to the bowl and said, "Mrs. Shi, today is your husband's birthday, you have to drink more, a small cup is not good!" Drink all the wine that is in this bowl for me. ”

Yizhihua was dumbfounded when she looked at the big bowl of wine in front of her, she slowly picked up the bowl and put it down again before she put it to her mouth. She looked at Ono with pleading eyes, and Ono touched his own human beard and didn't speak coldly.

The people next to him saw that Yizhihua didn't dare to drink, so they all coaxed: "Mrs. Shi, you have to drink the wine of Taijun's toast!" ”

"Yes, what a toast Taijun has for you! Don't sweep away Taijun's excitement! ”

Yizhihua knew that it would not work if she didn't drink this wine, so she hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Ono Taijun, I can't drink so much wine, why don't I take a sip?" ”

Xiao Ye was angry, he glared and said with red eyes, "No! Why don't you listen to me? If you don't drink, you look down on me, and if you look down on me, you look down on the Imperial Japanese Army! I ordered you to drink it, and I watched you drink! ”

Yizhihua, who can usually drink some wine, has never drunk so much wine, she stood dumbfounded, looking at a big bowl of white wine and not knowing what to do, Shi Shuli and Ma Liangchen saw that Xiao Ye was angry, and they were a little panicked. Shi Shuli hurriedly said to his wife: "Taijun toasted you because he looked up to you!" Isn't your usual amount of alcohol quite large, what is this wine, don't drink it quickly! He winked at his wife as he spoke.

"Sister-in-law, how many times is it rare to get drunk in life? Today is a happy day, so drink this bowl of wine! If you don't drink it, Taijun will be really unhappy! Ma Liangchen was also busy persuading.

"Mrs. Shi, you have to gulp down the wine! Hurry up and drink! Otherwise, I'm really upset! Ono urged, pointing to a large bowl full of liquor.

"Taijun, I'll drink, I'll drink. Today, today I will give my life to accompany Taijun! The frowning sprig of the flower was forced to take a big sip of wine from the big bowl, and then another big sip. The strong liquor choked a flower, she was so uncomfortable that she didn't want to drink it, she just wanted to put down the bowl, but she saw that the fierce and vicious Ono was still staring at herself, and hurriedly drank a few sips. After more than half a bowl of white wine, she couldn't stand a sprig of flowers, her stomach was hot like a pot of charcoal, only to feel that her eyes were spinning, and her body floated up like a feather. Shi Shuli saw that his wife was about to fall backwards, and hurriedly reached out to support her, and took the big bowl in her hand. A flower waved her hand dizzily and said, "Don't, don't care about me!" Taijun asked me to drink, but I, I haven't drunk this wine, I haven't finished drinking it. Bring me the wine, bring it to me, and I'm going to drink it dry. ”

Looking at the uncomfortable appearance of a flower with cracked teeth, Ono and several Japanese people at the adjacent table laughed happily, and Shi Shuli and the others also laughed awkwardly.

"Mrs. Shi, how can you drink so much wine as a woman! Don't look at me as a martial artist, but I have a lot of pity, I just made a joke with you, and you took it seriously. Forget it, don't force yourself if you can't drink, look at me! Ono took a large porcelain bowl from which a flower was drinking, and asked someone to fill the bowl with wine, and then craned his neck and drank it in a big gulp, and he drank it dry in a few sips. Ono wiped his mouth after drinking, and proudly turned the bowl upside down for everyone to see.

"Taijun has a good amount of wine! What a lot of alcohol! The people next to him applauded vigorously, and in the noise of the crowd, a flower slumped on the chair with snot and tears on her face and couldn't get up anymore. Greatly good! Ours can't compare! ”

Ono snorted a mouth full of wine and said, "Shi San, our soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire must also have the spirit of bushido when they drink alcohol!" ”

Shi Shuli nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" The great strength of the bushido spirit of the Imperial Japanese Army is not available to us Chinese. After saying that, he urged the servants standing aside, "Bring the wine, and fill it up for the prince!" ”

Ono was angry when he saw that the servant had poured his own wine and Shi Shuli's cup was not full. "Shi Sang, you have a bad conscience, and it's not true to drink! Come, I'll fill it for you. He snatched the bottle from the servant's hand and poured a full glass of wine for Shi Shuli.

Shi Shuli saw Ono pour wine for himself, he was flattered, and hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you, Taijun, I drank this wine dry!" ”

"Slow." Ono stopped Shi Shuli, he stretched out a hand and gestured, "Today is your birthday, let's make a few punches to cheer everyone up, okay?" ”

"Taijun also plays with China?" Asked in surprise in the history books.

"You don't know, we Japanese people also like to guess the order when we drink, but the rules are slightly different from China. I'm happy today, I'll play with you according to the rules of China, you let go, don't be afraid to win me, if you lose me, you will also be punished for drinking! I wonder if you're my opponent? ”

"Good! Then I will accompany Taijun to play a few punches, which can be regarded as cheering up the friends present. Since Ono proposed to draw a fist, he no longer cared about his relationship with Ono, and stretched out his hand and shouted loudly to drink the wine order and Ono to draw a fist. The people at the other tables saw Ono taking the lead, and they also used the strength of wine to catch each other and punch each other, and the courtyard was full of "Hello brothers!" "Four happy fortunes! "Eight horses! The shouts.

Shi Shuli, who thought he was a master of boxing, fought Ono and was defeated in a few rounds. It turns out that Ono is quick and very good at figuring out the opponent's psychology, and he guesses exactly what punch the opponent is going to throw, and he can catch the opponent almost as soon as he shoots. After a few punches, Ono lost less and won more, and after Shi Shuli was poured a few glasses of wine in a row, he was dizzy and defeated. Ma Liangchen saw that Shi Shuli was not Ono's opponent, and he rolled up his sleeves with great interest to compete with Ono, but the result was still a mess. Ono looked at the two subordinates who were dazed by him contemptuously and said, "Yours can't do it! Our soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire also have no opponents in the drinking field! With that, he threw his head up and drank a glass of wine, then filled himself with another glass.

Ma Liangchen, who was drenched in wine, still understood in his heart, he was afraid that Ono would drink too much wine and make trouble, so he shouted to the boss of the troupe who was sitting on the sidelines: "Our Ono Taijun likes to listen to the overlord Farewell Concubine the most, you give me a paragraph, and I will be rewarded for singing well!" ”

The sound of Jinghu sounded, and Ono, who loved Peking Opera, immediately sat down quietly. A female actor who played Yu Ji danced to the front of the stage after the accompaniment passed the door, and she twisted her waist and stroked the water sleeves to the euphemistic and sad sound of the piano, and sang sadly. As soon as the female actor spoke, Ono put down the wine glass and listened with a lot of taste, he shook his head while slapping his hands on his thighs, and the people all over the yard also quieted down. At the end of the female play, Ono applauded loudly, he took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded.

The female actor was just about to turn around and step off the stage, "Slow! Ono stopped her. Ono put his hand on Shi Shuli's shoulder very affectionately and said, "Shi Sang, you tell this woman to sing another concubine drunk bar." Mrs. Shi got drunk for me today, I feel very sorry for her, and I want to give this scene to her to apologize! ”

Shi Shuli suddenly felt warm in his heart after hearing this, and he was flattered and shouted to the female actor: "Taijun wants to listen to the drunken concubine, you hurry up and sing!" After he finished speaking, he poured a full glass of wine for Ono, "Ono Taijun, let's listen to the play while drinking." ”

Ono picked up his glass but didn't drink it, his eyes stared straight at the female actor who was dancing and singing, and his head kept shaking with the rhythm of the singing. Ono said to Shi Shuli: "Among the many roles in Peking Opera, I love to watch Tsing Yi's drama the most, and the woman in front of me looks good, has a good figure, and sings better." I love it! Today is your birthday, please pay for the troupe! It's my congratulatory gift to you! One day when I have free time, please arrange for this female actor to sing a solo play for me. ”

"Could it be that Taijun has taken a fancy to this little woman?" Shi Shuli asked flatteringly.

"You are worthy of being my subordinate, you are very good at figuring out my thoughts!" Ono squeezed his eyes in confusion.

As soon as Ono's words were finished, there was a "snap", and a steel ball flying from nowhere hit Ono's right cheekbone, and Ono "Ah!" With a scream, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he jumped up from the chair like stepping on a spring with his face covered, and then fell to the ground and rolled. Ono's right cheekbone was swollen with blood, and he had fainted in pain. It turned out that a few children lying on the room did it, and it was Wang Hongju who hit Ono with a slingshot. Seeing Ono fall to the ground in extreme pain, the people in the courtyard suddenly became commotion, and they didn't understand what was happening. Looking around, Shi Shuli and Ma Liangchen and others were hit by steel balls one after another, and they screamed in pain. "Oh no! There are assassins! I don't know who shouted, this sudden event made the people who were still immersed in eating, drinking and merry, suddenly frightened, they screamed and scattered like headless flies, some ran into the house, some lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, some burrowed under the table, and some slammed together. In the chaos, some tables and chairs were knocked over, and wine, meat, and food were spilled on the floor.

"Look! There are people in the room! The stinking ball yelled at the room. Bang! "A gun-wielding agent shot indiscriminately into the room. Wang Hongju hit the stinky ball fiercely, and the projectile hit the window behind him instead of hitting the stinky ball, and the window glass was shattered. At this time, the devils and policemen standing guard at the gate also rushed in with guns, and Wang Hongju saw this and hit the light bulb hanging in the courtyard with a slingshot, and the light bulb fragments splashed everywhere with a "pop", and the bright courtyard became dark. "Bang! Bang! "A few more shots sent tiles to the eaves. A bullet grazed Wang Hongju's scalp and startled him. Wang Hongju, who was in a state of excitement, felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly made a retreat gesture to his companions, and in the dark night, several children scurried like dexterous tanuki on a series of ridges and disappeared.
