Chapter 273: Step by step
As a result, as soon as they entered the town, the two people were stopped.
They were stopped by two strong men in cloth clothes, without guns, all carrying short clubs in their hands.
Director Liu's face tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to touch his waist, but was gently touched by Fang Buwei.
"Why are you two in the way?" Fang Buwei asked.
Although the lights were dim, Fang Buwei could see it very clearly, these two men had black and red faces, rough hands, and they looked like coolies, they should be the guards in the town.
"Patrol!"
A man replied, and put the lantern in front of the two of them again.
If it was an ordinary person, the man would have been released, but Fang Buwei and Director Liu were too conspicuous.
Even if it's raining, it's just soaking wet, but where does this mud come from?
"Why are you so embarrassed?" The man asked.
"Can you come by boat and come ashore without being covered in mud?"
Fang Buwei pointed to the bottom of the mountain.
The end of the river is low, and the banks are full of muddy water.
If Fang didn't come for one person, there wouldn't be so troublesome at all. Before he saw these two big men, he had already taken a detour.
……
After asking a few words, seeing that Fang Buwei's answer was reasonable, the two strong men put Fang Buwei and Director Liu in.
"Why is the investigation so strict, will it have anything to do with Li Fengnian?"
Walking a little farther away, seeing that there was no one nearby, Director Liu asked in a low voice.
"I can't tell!" Fang Buwei shook his head.
The expressions of the two men did not seem to be fake, they should really be patrolling.
And the questions asked weren't tedious, just asking them how they got to this point. There is no mention of the origin and purpose of the two men.
But a small town is just so guarded?
Could it be that Li Fengnian mobilized the surrounding masses to be a fan?
If these two people really have something to do with Li Fengnian, I am afraid that everyone who enters the town will know about it.
The timing is not at the right time!
Fang Buwei frowned as he looked at the light rain that was still falling.
Tomorrow is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the new year, and with such heavy rain, ordinary pilgrims will definitely not come to offer incense.
In this way, has he been suspected by the people arranged by Li Fengnian?
Fortunately, he put on makeup when he got off the boat, and Li Fengnian couldn't recognize himself for a while.
But after taking a few steps forward, Fang Buwei found that something was wrong.
The town is brightly lit, and most of the shops are not closed, especially the incense and candle shops, and many people are coming in and out.
And even though it was raining, there were still many pedestrians walking around the street.
Looking further away, Fang Buwei saw that there were still cars parked at the doors of the two inns.
Why is it so lively?
"Why are there so many people?" Director Liu asked in shock.
"What day is it?" Fang Buwei asked rhetorically.
"May 19th!" Director Liu replied.
"I'm asking Han Li!"
"The seventh day of the fourth month!"
Tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday, no wonder it rains so heavily, there are so many people in the town, and the patrol is so strict?
Fang was not surprised.
Such important information is ignored by yourself?
There are so many people on the mountain, so how can this mountain be surrounded?
Not only did it increase the risk of exposure of the large army, but the difficulty of rounding up Li Fengnian increased several times.
Fortunately, it was not launched earlier.
Fang didn't turn his head and walked away.
He was going to give the order to all two men and horses to retreat and wait for the order.
And it must be reported to the headquarters, so as not to be anxious by the heads of government and so on.
Director Liu didn't know why, so he could only follow closely.
A few minutes later, Fang Buwei turned back again.
If you can't surround the mountain for the time being, you must first follow the person who sent the telegram.
Director Liu, who was following closely behind, was tired and panting.
The town is not small, most of them are shops, and they sell everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. It's all pilgrims' business.
When passing by a clothing store, Fang Buwei bought two monk's robes and shoes and socks, and when they came out, the two of them were dressed as monks and not monks.
Wandering in the streets in muddy water, it is still too conspicuous.
If you walk in the city, you will feel very strange. But in places where this Buddhist style is prevalent, this kind of dress is common. There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, all dressed like this.
didn't look at the shopkeeper in the clothing shop, not only wearing monk's clothes, shaving his head, but also a donor, almost lit incense on his head.
After not taking a few steps forward, Fang Buwei saw the two big men who had checked them just now.
Dahan didn't notice them, and walked forward unhurriedly. Fang Buwei looked at it, and the direction in which Dahan was advancing was the location of the radio station.
I was thinking about how to find an excuse and take Director Liu around that street, but this is not a ready-made excuse?
Fang Buwei gave Director Liu a look, and the two of them followed from a distance.
The street is a bit out of the way, and the alleys are very narrow, but most of the shops are open and lit, but the one that publishes the newspaper alone has no light.
Fang Buwei looked up and saw that it was a grain store.
The two big men didn't even turn around, and went straight into the next door of the grain store.
It's a restaurant.
Fang Buwei and Director Liu glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.
Fang Buwei was thinking, could it be that the armor guarding the patrol was really related to Li Fengnian?
Along the way, there are several restaurants on the street that are still open. Even if these two big men are hungry, they don't have to go so far.
At such a time, Fang Buwei will not believe in any coincidences.
Director Liu looked at Fang Buwei, meaning what to do now?
It is definitely not possible to follow up directly, and it is suspicious to be in vain.
Fang Bushu glanced up and saw a lantern marked inn hanging at the door of a shop not far in front.
……
"Two laymen, I'm sorry, it's full!" Seeing the guests enter the door, the shopkeeper of the inn immediately greeted him.
Fang Buwei smiled at the owner of the inn, stepped forward, and put the two silver dollars on the counter: "There is something delayed, I came a little late." But tomorrow's morning incense is a must, and please make it convenient for the shopkeeper! ”
"There are really no rooms!" The boss looked at the silver dollar with a reluctant face, but in the end he spread his hands helplessly.
"It's good to have a place to sleep, at least you don't have to get out in the rain......" Fang Buwei took out two more silver dollars and put them on.
The shopkeeper looked at the silver dollar, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the small door behind the counter and said, "This is it, it is not used for vigil, there is only a small bed, why don't you two go for it?" ”
Fang Buwei just wanted to find an excuse, so he naturally agreed.
After a simple tidying up, Fang Buwei asked the shopkeeper again: "Trouble shopkeeper, is there a restaurant near here?" ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed: "Go out to the right, and then go three more forward!" ”
It refers to the one where the two big men entered.
