Chapter 113: Nanyuan's Last Dream (5)
"Oh, yes. I remembered. Shi Tianji suddenly remembered something and put his hand into his arms, and took out a bag from it, "Fortunately, I took this with a sheep in Chunxiangju, and I didn't expect it to come in handy." Shi Tianji ostentatiously shook the bag full of silver in front of everyone.
"Okay, Lao Shi, if you succeed in saving people this time, I will give you a great credit. Give the money to General Lee. Luo Shiyin praised Shi Tianji.
The team members all know that on weekdays, Shi Tianji is an iron rooster, and it is not easy for him to perform like this today.
"Here, on." Shi Tianji threw the silver bag in his hand to Li Ruzhu.
"Thank you Brother Shi for your generosity, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely double it back to you." Li Ruzhu took the silver bag and said gratefully.
"You're welcome! It's not my money anyway. Let it be atonement for the sins of this old thing! Shi Tianji pointed to the corpse of the female shopkeeper of Chunxiang House on the ground and said.
"You're all gone, so what are we going to do?" The youngest monk asked everyone stupidly.
"Lao Shi, what do you say to do?" Luo Shiyin glanced at Shi Tianji with a heuristic eye.
"Well, that's easy to do." Shi Tianji understood the meaning in the commander's eyes, he replied, and then, taking a rope from the corner of the wall, tied the other three monks other than the Void Monk to the pillars in the room one by one, and gagged their mouths with rags, "You listen to me, stay here honestly, and don't make any noise." Otherwise, when we return, we will have your good fruit to eat. ”
On the right side of the gate of the Bamboo Forest House, there is a small path hidden in the rocks. Follow the trail all the way north for about 50 meters to the north side of Jiyangling.
The mountain on the north side of Jiyangling is not a cliff like the south side, but a slope with a gentle slope.
Under the guidance of the Void Monk, the team members followed the artificially stepped path on the grass on the hillside to the bottom of the peak.
Continue to walk more than ten meters to the north, a flat land appears in front of you, the flat land is surrounded by a wooden fence, and in front of the fence door facing east, there is a square wooden shack.
Inside the shack, a large ox is tethered to a stake and is leisurely eating hay from the trough in front of him. Behind the scalper, a dilapidated ox cart with a square tarpaulin canopy on top of the body was horizontal.
When the void came to the carport, he first pushed out the ox cart and put it in place, and then led the ox out and set it up.
"The car is a little worn, so the two heroes will be a little bit better. Wronged two. The void said apologetically to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, whose hands were tied behind their backs.
"Let's go." Shi Lang said to the void.
Before setting off from the temple, Shi Tianji had already tied Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu's hands behind his back, but he only tied the rope to an imperceptible live buckle. Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu can break free with a slight pull when necessary.
The void handed the two strips of black blindfolded cloth prepared in advance to Li Ruzhu beside him, Li Ruzhu took the strip of cloth and handed it to Xie Yuan, and then, together with Xie Yuan, blindfolded Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu with the strips of cloth in his hand, and tied them from the back of his head.
Inside the canopy was a worn mat. Shi Tianji lifted the curtain behind the canopy and helped Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang into the canopy. Xie Yuan stuffed Shi Lang's embroidered spring knife and Ye Ruliu's deadly rose thorn under the mat in the canopy, and then lowered the curtain.
"Be careful." Seeing that everything was ready, Luo Shiyin instructed Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu in the carport.
"Don't worry, sir." Shi Lang said to Luo Shiyin.
"Rack!" With the void shouting at the ox, the ox cart slowly moved forward. The wheels pressed against the potholed mountain road, and from time to time there was a "squeak" sound.
Li Ruzhu followed the Void, constantly asking the Void about the distance from Xiaoyao Valley, he couldn't wait to see Zhu Qing immediately, and at the same time, deep in his heart, he kept imagining what his Zhu Qing sister looked like now.
Luo Shiyin led Xie Yuan and Shi Tianji to follow behind the ox cart.
After driving for nearly a kilometer, a maple forest appeared in front of me.
"After this forest, you will reach the sentry post." The Void parked the car at the southern end of the Maple Forest and said to Li Ruzhu.
"After you get inside, don't play any tricks, otherwise, it will kill you!" Li Ruzhu flashed the short knife pinned to his waist to the void and said threateningly.
"Don't worry, my lord, it's too late for me to atone for my sins, how dare I play tricks. To tell the truth, I was forced to do these immoral things for the Japanese people. What a sin, a sin! Void nodded and said.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Wait inside, be smart. When it's done, we'll be able to surround you. Luo Shiyin walked to the ox cart and told the void.
"Hey, definitely, definitely!" The Void nodded in agreement.
"Shi Lang, safety is the top priority. Do you understand? Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang in the canopy.
"Don't worry, sir. Subordinates understand. Shi Lang replied in Pengnei.
"Okay, let's go. We are here to answer you. Luo Shiyin waved at Li Ruzhu.
The ox cart walked into the winding path in the maple forest and walked towards the valley mouth in the north of the forest.
Luo Shiyin led Shi Tianji and Xie Yuan into the maple forest, and the three of them first observed the terrain in the forest, and then helped each other climb a tall pentagonal maple and looked at the Xiaoyao Valley to the north.
The leaves of the maple tree in this season have fallen, and Luo Shiyin and the other three people are hiding behind the branches of the maple tree, and the scene at the mouth of the valley of Xiaoyao Valley is in full view. It can be clearly seen that the mouth of the valley is actually a narrow slit sandwiched between two cliffs.
Under the cliff at the entrance, a row of small wooden houses were built against the mountain, which should have been used by the dozen or so Japanese sentinels at the mouth of the valley.
In front of the wooden house is a path leading to the valley, and after the path extends straight inward for about ten meters, it turns to the left, and the view inside is obscured by the cliff.
Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu sat in the bumpy ox cart, listening carefully to the wind and grass outside.
"Matsuo-kun, hello. I'm sending you a beautiful woman again! The ox cart came to the mouth of the valley, and the Void Monk greeted a warlord in a loud voice.
"It's been a hard work. Stop and let me take a look. The Japanese soldier called Matsuo by the Void waved his hand at the oxcart and motioned for the Void to stop and check.
"Phew—" Void stopped the car.
"Who is he? Why haven't you seen him? Matsuo came to the ox cart and looked at Li Ruzhu suspiciously and asked the void.
"Oh, he's a monk who has just become a monk in the temple. No, bring him over to see the world. Void introduced to Matsuo.
Matsuo circled around Li Ruzhu and carefully observed Li Ruzhu. Li Ruzhu hurriedly pretended to be nervous and nodded to Matsuo frequently.
"Matsuo-kun, why don't you take a look at the surprise in this car first?" The void was afraid that Li Ruzhu would reveal a flaw, so he quickly diverted Matsuo's attention.
"Good, these two were very beautiful today. I'm going to have to try it tonight! Matsuo walked to the back of the cart, lifted the curtain, glanced in, and then lowered the curtain and exclaimed.
"That's good, Matsuo-kun. I'll go in first, so that you two can settle down a little sooner, and I'll be there for you in the evening." The Void leaned in front of Matsuo and said flatteringly.
"Okay, let's go inside." With a wave of his right hand, Matsuo moved out of the way of the dozen or so Japanese samurai who were two or three meters in front of him.
The void did not dare to slack off, and drove the ox cart towards the valley.
The ox cart turned around the corner of the path, and the sky, which was still clear just now, was overcast. From behind the mountains to the north of the valley, large dark clouds drifted. The valley was suddenly filled with mountains, blurring people's vision.
"Drive, drive!" The void kept shouting oxen, and the ox cart followed the familiar stone path at the bottom of the valley to the double-story wooden house in the deepest part of the valley.
It is a two-story wooden house with a south-facing wooden door on the first floor. If it weren't for the eaves and arches on the roof with Chinese architectural style, it would be hard to think that it was actually a place specially built by the Japanese people for the recreation of the Japanese army.
"Bustard mother, the goods are here!" The Void stopped the ox cart in an open space about five meters in front of the wooden door and shouted into the door.
With the opening of the wooden door, out of the inside out of a middle-aged and elderly woman dressed in Korean costumes, this is a middle-aged and elderly woman with a more complex appearance judgment, just from its tall figure, decent clothing and walking large crotch twisting action, it is easy to remind people of the charm of the half-aged, which makes its appearance score higher.
However, when she gets closer, she will find that the ruthlessness of the years still marks her face very obviously, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes that are still difficult to hide with heavy makeup and the full yellow teeth that are exposed between her smiles undoubtedly hedge against the high appearance score brought to her by her good figure, and even to some extent, pull her appearance score to a negative number.
It seems that this is the old bustard here.
"You are a dead monk, and you won't come to help the old lady." The old bustard twisted his hips and came to a step in front of the door, carefully descending the steps, and kept complaining about the void monk.
"Hey, you have to be careful. If I accidentally break my body, my brother and I will be so distressed! The void hurried over, grabbed the old bustard's outstretched hand, and carefully helped her down the steps.
"That's interesting enough. How many are you sending this time? The old bustard, supported by the void, came to the ox cart.
"There are a few, there are only two in total, and now that the war is in chaos, this job is not easy to do!"
"Hey, who is he? Why haven't you seen him? Why didn't the little monk come? The old bustard looked at Li Ruzhu's eyes, and asked the void.
"This is Fayun, a monk who has just become a monk in the temple. No, the clearance is not feeling well, so I let him come. The Void coped.
"Then bring people in." The old bustard didn't look at Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu in the car, and turned around and walked towards the room.
Void and Li Ruzhu helped Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu out of the car, and then took off the blindfold on their faces. The four of them followed the bustard into the door.
The layout of a brothel is similar to that of a regular brothel, except that the hall on the first floor is much smaller than that of brothels in other parts of Korea at the time.
After entering, there is a small wooden counter in the right corner, which is supposed to be the place where the bustard used to collect money.
At the front of the hall was a suite separated by iron silk, and the light was too dim to see the scene in the suite, and there seemed to be many small beds in the shape of a few strips.
In the northwest corner of the hall there is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. The entire second floor should be filled with separate rooms.
"Come, put the two of them in a small dark room first to get used to it. I'll enlighten them later. Be quiet, the girls are sleeping. After entering, the old bustard walked straight behind the counter, and then said to the two men standing in the northwest corner of the house.
The two men replied and walked up to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu. Judging from the way the two of them walked with a limp, they should be the injured and disabled Japanese soldiers that the void said.
The two Japanese soldiers muttered a few words in a low voice, and then, one by one, escorted Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu into a small door around the corner.
It turned out that the little black room that the old bustard was talking about was the room inside the door in front of him.
The two Japanese soldiers pushed Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu into the house violently, and then closed the door.
The light in the room was much darker than the hall outside, and Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu blinked their eyes vigorously a few times before they could barely adapt to the darkness in the room.
It is a windowless room, with only a rectangular stool in the room. The two sat down on their stools and began to think about their next move.
In the hall, the Void Monk saw that the two Japanese soldiers who were escorting Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu returned to the position they were standing just now, far away from the counter, so he leaned over to the counter and whispered to the old bustard: "Bustard, I want to ask you for a favor with something. ”
"What's the matter? If there is a fart, let it go. The old bustard said angrily.
"Do you remember the girl I sent you this summer with a beautiful mole on the corner of her mouth?" The Void whispered.
"How can this old lady remember that you sent so many people!" The old bustard said as he lowered his head and tidied up the countertop.
"That's it...... A girl with a big temper. You forget, Matsuo-kun happened to be here at the time, he saw that the girl was good-looking, and wanted to kiss her, but the girl actually bit Matsuo-kun's tongue in one bite. ”
"Oh—come to mind, there's such a person. It's called...... Zhuqing, right? The old bustard raised his head, looked into the void and said.
"Yes, that's her. Is she still there? The Void asked.
The reason why Void asked this was because he knew that some of the girls who were sent here would commit suicide because they could not bear the humiliation, or they would fall ill and die because of the inhumane treatment they had been subjected to for a long time.
"What did you ask her for?" The old bustard became alert.
"That's the case, this girl is a good friend of his friend, see if you can be accommodating and let them meet, so that he can give an account to his friend when he goes back." The void pointed to Li Ruzhu and said to the old bustard.
"That's not going to work. You also know that if this matter is known to the Japanese people in the city, I am afraid that I will have to lose my head. I think you'd better go back quickly. The old bustard said impatiently to the void.
