Chapter 228: Exploring the Netherworld at Night (2)
"Alas! The roof leak happened to be rainy. Originally, our Ziwei Pavilion was annoying enough to make the Japanese people troublesome, but what did you think, the local bullies also came to join in the fun. A few days ago, the owner of the Netherworld Mansion came to us to listen to the plate, unfortunately, the aunt who was in charge of filling the water for the guests on this day was not feeling well, so I asked Shuyi to temporarily fill the water for the guests for her.
Originally, the master of the Netherworld Mansion listened well to the listening plate, but when Shuyi walked in front of him and filled him with water, his eyes immediately fixed on Shuyi, and he also moved on Shuyi. After listening to the plate, he took out a bag of silver taels from his bosom and threw it on the counter, and then, in a non-negotiable tone, told us that he would come to marry Shuyi as a concubine at a later date. After saying that, he walked away.
The next day, he asked the people in the house to bring a box of jewelry, saying that it was a dowry for Shuyi, and set a date for marrying Shuyi. You know, Shuyi is the youngest among your sisters, and she is still underage, I love her the most, how can I bear to let her ** tiger wolf's mouth?
After Shuyi found out about this, she was going to die and live all day long, and threatened that she would become a nun and not be a concubine for that bad old man. Seeing that this day is getting closer and closer, I can't think of any way to save Shuyi. I'm old and out of use...... Cough...... Ahem......"
"Mom, don't be in a hurry. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we all have to think of a way. There are always more solutions than difficulties. ”
"What can be done? This Netherworld is not an ordinary family. Who in the whole city of Busan would dare to mess with people? Not only that, but a few days ago, people were hooked up with the Japanese again, so no one dared to say a word to them. ”
"They colluded with the Japanese people?"
"Isn't it? When the Japanese came, they entrusted the people of the Netherworld to maintain law and order in the city for them, and they agreed. With the support of the Japanese people, the people of this Netherworld are even more horizontal. ”
"Doesn't this Netherworld not harm the common people?"
"People change. It is said that the owner of this Netherworld was originally an outsider, and no one knows where he came from. After coming to Busan, he first bought a house and started a small business in Busan. Later, his family soon developed, and he not only built the spacious mansion where he now lives, but also recruited a large number of thugs to take care of the home.
It was then that people began to notice him and realized that he was not a businessman, and that his wealth was made entirely by killing people for others. After everyone knew his identity as a killer, they all stayed away from him.
Although he has gained a firm foothold in the city of Busan, as an outsider, he still does not dare to be too publicistic for a long time, and he can still get along with the people in the city. But now, when people are tied up with Japanese people, it's different. With so many Japanese people supporting him, he began to be arrogant. ”
"Such people should be killed!"
"Don't take any chances, kid. Don't look at the fact that you have killed so many Wa people on Jeordia Island, but this Netherworld cannot afford to provoke it. ”
"Mom, don't worry, that's what I'll say. Don't worry too much. Look at how nice the sun is outside, I'll help you go out for a walk. ”
"Okay. It's been a long time since my old bone was active. Walk. ”
At dinner, Cambodia told Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu about Shuyi's forced marriage. Ye Ruliu listened to it and said indignantly: "This is too bullying!" ”
Shi Lang poked Ye Ruliu with his elbow and signaled her to be quiet. Ye Ruliu suppressed the anger in her heart and buried herself in eating.
"After dinner, come to my room." Seeing that Ye Ruliu's excited words and deeds did not cause the surroundings to be
The attention of the other personnel of the Ziwei Pavilion who were eating, Shi Lang whispered to Ye Ruliu.
"Okay." Ye Ruliu said softly to Shi Lang.
After dinner, Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang came to Shi Lang's room together.
After Ye Ruliu closed the door of the room, he said jokingly: "Let me visit the bedroom of our dignified leader of the thousand households. Yo, yes, living alone in such a big room. ”
"What. Don't forget, I'm a grocery buyer now. You, the leader of the Salt Gang, were able to come to my subordinate's humble house in person, which is really brilliant, and I am a little flattered. Hurry up, please take a seat. Shi Lang motioned for Ye Ruliu to sit on the small bunk in the room.
"Well, do you have any ideas?" Ye Ruliu sat down, looked at Shi Lang and asked.
"With you sitting next to me, what do you think I can think?" Shi Lang pulled a cotton cushion and sat opposite Ye Ruliu.
"I hate it, people are talking to you about business." Looking at Shi Lang's eyes, Ye Ruliu shyly reached out and gently slapped Shi Lang's knee.
"I'd like to explore the Netherworld tonight." Shi Lang stretched out his hands, held Ye Ruliu's hand on his knees, and said seriously.
"Why? For the sake of Shuyi? Ye Ruliu stretched out his other hand and held it on the back of Shi Lang's palm, looking at Shi Lang quietly with a pair of eyes, waiting for Shi Lang to say the following.
"Yes and not quite. On the one hand, after we came to Ziwei Pavilion, they provided us with convenience. Now that Ziwei Pavilion is in trouble, we can't sit idly by. I want to take a look first, and then find a way to rescue Shuyi who was coerced.
"On the other hand, after listening to Cambodia's introduction to the Netherworld, I felt that it was necessary to understand the reality of the Netherworld. The people of the Netherworld colluded with the Japanese people to maintain law and order in the city, and they are very likely to be a major obstacle and opponent in our future surveillance and investigation work. We should find out the truth of the Netherworld as soon as possible, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can deal with this adversary well in future reconnaissance work. ”
"I'll go with you."
"No need. I can go alone. ”
"No, I can't. You have also seen this Netherworld, it is simply a tiger's den in Longtan. How can I rest assured that you will go alone? ”
"I'm just going to find out what's going on in the Netherworld, not to make trouble. Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
"No, I must go with you."
"Good, good. Hehe, since I can't help you, let's go together. Don't pout, like a three-year-old. ”
"You're like a three-year-old." Seeing that Shi Lang agreed to go with him, Ye Ruliu put away her coquettish expression and smiled proudly.
"Look at you, the expression on your face is cloudy and sunny for a while, and you say that you don't look like a child, so do you believe it?"
"Did my face change so quickly?" Ye Ruliu raised Shi Lang's hands and stroked Shi Lang's big hands on his face.
Shi Lang's hands clearly felt the heat on Ye Ruliu's cheeks, and in an instant, a stream of heat quickly surged throughout his body, and his breathing became tight.
Ye Ruliu closed her eyes slightly, and her body couldn't help but lean towards Shi Lang. Shi Lang leaned over and held Ye Ruliu's pink face with both hands. At the moment of kissing the other party's fiery lips, Shi Lang suddenly hugged Ye Ruliu into his arms.
Midnight.
In the grass outside the high wall of the backyard of the Netherworld, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, who were dressed in black tight-fitting night clothes, were alertly observing the wind and grass around them.
Unexpectedly, the courtyard wall of this Netherworld Mansion was as high as the courtyard wall of the Forbidden City
Big. Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu saw that there was no movement around them, so they deftly flashed to the root of the courtyard wall.
Shi Lang took out Wen Jin and listened to the movement inside the wall, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he put away Wen Jin and shot the flying tiger claw taken out of the rucksack to the top of the wall.
"I'll go up and have a look." Shi Lang whispered to Ye Ruliu.
"Okay, stay safe." Ye Ruliu also said in a low voice.
Shi Lang clenched the rope of the Flying Tiger Claw, and jumped onto the wall with a few lifts. He crouched on the wall, carefully observing the terrain and movement in the courtyard, and after confirming that there was no danger, Shi Lang reflexively reached out and gently shook the rope of the Flying Tiger Claw.
Ye Ruliu immediately tightened her grip on the rope, deftly jumped onto the wall, and fell beside Shi Lang.
Shi Lang put away the tiger's claws, then picked off a small stone from the wall and threw it into the yard.
The courtyard was silent, and there was no sound.
Shi Lang glanced at Ye Ruliu, and the two held hands while jumping into the courtyard from the high wall.
The place where Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu landed was a vegetable field. The two of them first hid among the unknown thick vegetable branches and leaves in the vegetable field, and once again observed the movement around them.
There was silence in the vegetable patch.
After a while, the chirping of the insects in the vegetable patch, which had just stopped abruptly due to fright, began to sound again.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu leaned against a row of low houses on the right side of the vegetable patch, bowing forward.
When they were about to reach the southernmost end of the row house, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu were startled by the two strange cries of "quack, quack" coming from the left front of their bodies. The two quickly hid their bodies and watched from the sound. About five meters to the right of the two of them, there is a cage enclosed by a wooden fence. Inside the cage, a group of snake vultures huddled together were sleeping at night with their eyes closed. Maybe he heard the sound of Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu walking, and the snake vulture who was in charge of standing guard at night called twice, as if to warn the visitors.
Shi Lang roughly estimated that there were more than two dozen snake vultures in the cage. It seems that passing in front of this group of astute guys is hard not to elicit a reaction from them.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu retreated gently, then bypassed a group of rockeries in front of them on the right and came to a crooked corridor.
The two of them bowed forward against the cloister. When you reach the end of the cloister, you see a corner door. Shi Lang pushed it lightly and found that the corner door was locked from the other side.
Seeing that they couldn't continue to move forward, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu simply jumped onto the roof of the cloister, ready to sneak on the ridge.
At the moment when the two of them jumped to the top of the corridor, Shi Lang suddenly spotted a black shadow on the roof of the tall house on the south side of the corridor by moonlight.
Shi Lang was afraid that the other party would find out about himself and Ye Ruliu, so he hurriedly pressed Ye Ruliu on the ridge of the house, and then used his finger to keep the figure suddenly found in front of him.
"Have we been discovered?" Ye Ruliu looked at the figure and said in a low voice.
"Not really. It seems that we are not the only ones interested in this Netherworld. Shi Lang judged from the other party's figure that the other party should also be here to explore the Netherworld at night.
"What should I do?"
"Follow along. Look where it is sacred. ”
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu stepped on a groove at the top of the cloister, and after walking for a distance, they jumped onto the roof of a house connected to the cloister and approached the black shadow.
The dark shadow not far away had traveled a distance, and had come to the roof of a magnificent house, and he first looked down behind the ridge, and then, standing up, jumped from the roof to the bluestone floor of the courtyard.
After the figure landed, he actually stood in place and shouted, "Netherworld Holy Lord, there is a guest visiting. Don't know if it's convenient or not? ”
