The sky became more and more gloomy, and then a cool breeze blew, and in an instant, the raindrops like beans poured down, as if they could flood the trenches, the Songhua River, and the entire northeast in an instant.

Shizhu followed Liu Fulong all the way with the golden retriever, and after following for a few miles in the mud, he saw Liu Fulong and his group enter a big mansion, and there were four people with guns in front of the door, presumably this is Liu Fulong's old nest in the northeast.

After infiltrating the Northeast, Liu Fulong first became a bandit, and then in the 24th year of the Republic of China, he took refuge in the Japanese and acted as a spy, specializing in doing some unseemly deeds for the Japanese that were inconvenient for them to come forward, such as secret agents, murders, and assassinations. Liu Fulong does not live in the Japanese camp, but in this mansion a few miles away from the camp, and he likes to call this mansion the "Dragon Palace".

After learning that Liu Fulong lived here, Shi Zhu couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, because he had been worried before, if Liu Fulong lived in a Japanese camp, how could he sneak in and assassinate, and how could he escape with his whole body? Now, Liu Fulong lives in this house, which saves Shizhu a lot of heart, and it is much easier to sneak in or withdraw.

Subsequently, the stone pillar quietly climbed the courtyard wall to check the situation in the courtyard. The front part of this house is a courtyard with an inner courtyard structure, and there are rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard wall, and people come in and out from time to time, which should be where the minions live. Liu Fulong lives in the inner courtyard. There is also a slightly smaller second courtyard at the back of the compound, which is connected by a second gate in the middle.

The stone pillar was roughly counted, and there were fifty or sixty bandits who could be seen, and it was estimated that there must be at least two hundred bandits in this courtyard.

After entering the inner courtyard, Liu Fulong ordered: "Come on, get some good wine and food, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the success in the evening!" ”

The "gong" Liu Fulong refers to is actually the fact that he assassinated an American journalist and his companion on behalf of the Japanese last night, and these two people were about to send some incriminating evidence of the Japanese to the headquarters. In the afternoon, Liu Fulong went to the devil's camp to report the results of the battle to his master, and received a lot of rewards from the Japanese.

After the order to go down, a small minion answered with a crisp "yes" and walked quickly to the kitchen.

When night fell, it was dark around, and the inner courtyard was brightly lit, and Liu Fulong was eating a "celebration banquet" and drinking "celebration wine" in the lobby with a group of brothers.

"Good brothers, five leaders, seven clever ......"

"You lose, drink, drink!"

"Eighth child, why did you make a stinky fist! Three glasses of wine! ”

There was a sound of fists on the wine table, you come and go, it's not lively; Sometimes there is a fierce quarrel, the two sides fight red-faced, the sound sounds like the roof can be torn over, and finally the fist has to come forward to judge, which is the matter.

Shi Zhu hid on the top of the wall and observed everything in the courtyard, and after a few hours, he was tired, cold and hungry. Watching the people in the inner hall eating and drinking, he felt even more hungry, even the golden retriever in the satchel, his stomach made a "gurgling" sound, and the sound of the heavy rain could not be hidden. Shi Zhu had no choice but to take out a piece of hard cake and share it with the golden retriever.

After a while, the noise in the inner hall gradually stopped, and only Liu Fulong was heard to say, "The brothers are all shouting, right?" Come on, bring the two little ladies in the backyard, sing songs to the master, and relieve boredom! ”

After a while, a few bandits carrying guns brought two young girls over, two of them were brightly dressed, with pink faces and red lips, one holding a pipa in his arms and the other holding a three-stringed string, although they were unwilling to serve these bandits, but what could this weak body do!

"Speaking of the third Song man, the two of them sell big cigarettes,......"

"The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn moon is bright,......, how can I not know each other at the beginning."

The ghostly sound of the pipa and the three strings accompanied by the tinkling sound of the raindrops hitting the roof tiles scattered and floated in all directions, and even the stone pillars and golden retrievers were fascinated by it.

After a few songs, the bandits staggered away, and the drunken ones fell asleep on the table, and all was quiet again, except for the sound of the rain, the occasional rumbling of thunder, and the occasional croaking of frogs not far away.

This time he came to the Northeast, Shi Zhu's original intention was to find out the news of Liu Fulong, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge, and now this opportunity is in front of him. Shi Zhu felt that Liu Fulong's bandit nest was neither in the mountains nor in the camp of the Japanese, and the guards were not strict, except for the four people standing guard at the door, there was only a team of patrols in the courtyard from time to time, and it was easy for him to avoid these people, which was a good opportunity for revenge.

Shi Zhu saw Liu Fulong enter the room to sleep, and in the dead of night, when he estimated that the person was asleep, he planned to do it.

After nightfall, the rain was a little lighter, but the sound of the rain still provided excellent cover for the stone pillars. He put the golden retriever in a small hole under the courtyard wall to avoid the rain, and he quietly climbed into the courtyard and followed the wall to the inner courtyard. The door of the inner courtyard was hidden, and this group of bandits must have been used to it, and it was expected that no one would dare to attack them at night, so they were so casual. With a slight push of the stone pillar, the door opened, and although there was an intermittent "squeak", it did not wake up the sleeping people.

After the stone pillar entered, he saw that the hall was still bright, so he blew out all the oil lamps inside, leaving only the two near the door.

Seeing that there were still so many drinks and dishes on the table, Shi Zhu's stomach became angry, and even his legs seemed to be tripped by these foods. He didn't care about whether he was decent or not, he didn't care about his three-seven-twenty-one, he filled his stomach first, so he grabbed the fish and meat on the table by the faint light, ate it like a wolf, and drank a few sips of wine to warm up.

Before leaving, Shi Zhu noticed that the bandits had all put their guns on the table. He picked out a good piece and pinned it to his waist just in case, and he threw the rest to the edge of the corner and hid it.

Shi Zhu walked towards the inner room and gently pushed the door of Liu Fulong's room, which was not locked.

At about this time last year, Shi Zhu and Zhao Yishui once stabbed the traitor Yan Zhihu at night on Qitai Mountain, at that time they were facing living people, and now they are facing a sleeping "dead man", and it should be easier to assassinate. But Shi Zhu also knows very well that now he is fighting alone, and there is no response, if he wakes up these bandits, even if he can kill Liu Fulong, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from this bandit's nest. Therefore, the stone pillar was chosen to use a thorny dragon dagger. Although he had a gun he had just gotten, he didn't dare to use it until he had to.

It was pitch black in this room, only to hear Liu Fulong's intermittent snoring, and Shi Zhu looked for this sound and slowly walked to Liu Fulong's bed. Although the stone pillar was considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, a little cold sweat still broke out in the palm of his right hand holding the Thorn Dragon Dagger at this time.

This scene reminded Shi Zhu of Cao Mengde's assassination of Dong Zhongying in "Three Kingdoms" told by Mr. Storyteller. But in Shi Zhu's opinion, at this time, there will naturally be no "Lu Fengxian" outside the door to disrupt his plan, and Liu Fulong will definitely not get up suddenly like Dong Zhongying, and he will not be able to kneel down and offer a knife like Cao Mengde.

However, perhaps it is this psychological implication that makes creation tricky, or that "history" is always strikingly similar, in short, there must be a reason why the wicked can continue to be evil. This time, not only did Shi Zhu obviously underestimate Liu Fulong's combat effectiveness, but even God was on the side of the bandits: Shi Zhu originally planned to cut Liu Fulong's throat, but at the moment when he was about to wipe it off, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, and the lightning was impartial, reflecting the cold light of the thorn dragon dagger onto Liu Fulong's eyes.

"Which one?" Liu Fulong has been a bandit for many years, and his vigilance is naturally very high, and this cold light woke him up in an instant, and he shouted while dodging sideways.

Seeing that the throat could not be cut, the stone pillar raised the stinging dragon dagger, intending to stab it down, but Liu Fulong kicked at the stone pillar indiscriminately in the dark, and actually made this piercing deviate. When the stone pillar was about to pierce Liu Fulong again, Liu Fulong had already taken out a pistol from under his pillow.

"Bang, ......" Liu Fulong fired several shots in the dark.

Although the stone pillar tried desperately to dodge, in the darkness, he was bitten by a bullet in his arm, and a bullet passed through his left arm against the bone, and blood immediately gushed out from both sides of the wound.

Since Shi Zhu dared to assassinate Liu Fulong, he still had some ability, he first pulled out a dart from his waist in the dark, endured the pain of the wound and threw it, the dart directly nailed Liu Fulong's right hand with a gun to the bedpost, and Liu Fulong immediately screamed "ah".

Immediately, Shi Zhu took out the gun on his waist and shot it in the direction of Liu Fulong's screams. How can Liu Fulong also be a battle-hardened person, he was able to escape under the encirclement and suppression of the official army, and he was also a little alert and flexible, at this moment he had already pulled out the dart nailed to his hand, and squatted down in an instant, dodging the shooting of the stone pillar, and started a shootout with the stone pillar.

Outside the house, as soon as Liu Fulong's gunshots rang out, it alarmed the bandits. Shi Zhu naturally heard the noisy movement outside, and he knew that it was already difficult to kill Liu Fulong in this darkness, so it was better to withdraw first and take revenge later.

Shi Zhu immediately opened the door and quickly ran out and entered the lobby.

In the lobby, several bandits who were sleeping soundly had already woken up, and just as they were looking for guns everywhere with blank faces, the muzzles of the stone pillars were already aimed at them. Fortunately, they were also clever, and they got under the table, and only then did they dodge the bullets of the stone pillar.

The stone pillar ran to the gate of the inner courtyard and pushed open the door to evacuate. Unbeknownst to him, dozens of bandits had already rushed over on both sides.

After firing two more shots, the gun in Shizhu's hand ran out of bullets, and no matter how much he pulled the trigger, it would be useless. At this moment, Shi Zhu really hoped that he could grow a pair of wings, or have the martial arts of flying eaves and walls, or have the spell of stealth, or have divine soldiers descend from the sky to help him escape from this bandit's den, but no miracle happened!

Shi Zhu knew that he was a mortal after all, even if he knew some fist and foot kung fu, he definitely had no magic possession, and he couldn't resist firearms, if he forcibly rushed out, he would eventually be a corpse on the spot. In desperation, Shizhu had no choice but to throw away the gun and retreat to the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Liu Fulong had already chased him out at this moment, and several bandit generals in the hall also found the guns hidden in the corner. As a result, the muzzles of several black holes were aimed at the stone pillars, and at this moment, even if he had three heads and six arms, with a dagger and a few darts, he could not escape the front and back attacks.

Shi Zhu saw that the general trend was gone, so he gave up the senseless counterattack, and lived a moment longer, maybe he could really wait for a turnaround.

"Come on, tie me up!" Liu Fulong waved his hand at the people below.

"Yes!" Several people rushed up. After some manipulation, the stone pillar was tied up by the five flowers.

"Who are you? How dare you come to assassinate Lao Tzu! Liu Fulong came up and asked Shizhu.

"Master, I'm here to take revenge on you, but unfortunately I couldn't kill your ...... of the shit"

"Lao Tzu has killed more people than you have eaten grains of salt, which green onion are you looking for revenge?"

Hearing this, Shi Zhu looked at Liu Fulong angrily with his eyes, and said: "Twelve years ago, in Hongzhuang, Haizhou, you robbed my father's money and killed him, I came to ask you to pay for your blood debt!" ”

"Hey, I remembered, it turned out to be that old guy, I didn't expect your grandson to be able to find Lao Tzu here. I didn't want to kill that old thing back then, but I dared to grab money from Lao Tzu! Liu Fulong remembers this incident quite clearly.

"Then it's obvious that you robbed us of our money!"

"Your money? What is in the hands of Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu's things, and Lao Tzu and I are doing this business! ”

"Alas~~~! It's a pity that I couldn't avenge my dad today, and I cheapened you for this shit! Since it has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill or chop, give me a happy word, master, I don't blink an eye! ”

At this moment, Liu Fulong's brothers were clamoring to drag the stone pillar out and feed it to the dogs.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you can't run! It's not easy to kill someone, it's the same as pinching an ant to death! Liu Fulong was not in a hurry.

At this moment, the stone pillar is like fish meat on the board, and Liu Fulong is allowed to slaughter it, but Liu Fulong is not in a hurry to kill the stone pillar, but first snatches the stinging dragon dagger on the stone pillar, pulls it out and looks at it, and calls it a good knife. Then, he took out the dart that was thrown at him and asked Shizhu, "Tell me first, where did this dart come from?" ”

"Darts, you ask? That's what I picked up on the road, sir! ”

Liu Fulong saw that Shi Zhu didn't say anything, so he pinched Shi Zhu's mouth with his hand and said, "Boy, your mouth is quite hard, don't you say it?" Never mind! Lao Tzu respects you as a man, so I won't kill you with my own hands today. Tomorrow morning, I'll send you to the Japanese, they have a lot of means, let them torture you slowly, see if you kid is still hard-mouthed! ”

Subsequently, Liu Fulong ordered his subordinates to put the stone pillar in the dungeon. Only then did Shi Zhu feel the pain of the wound like a burning fire, and his face had turned pale from blood loss.

The next day, Liu Fulong took several brothers and escorted the stone pillar to the Japanese barracks. The officer in charge of picking up the person was an officer named Matsumoto, who was of medium height, slightly fat, and had a pinch of "board brush beard". When Liu Fulong saw Matsumoto, he nodded and said, "Matsumoto Taijun, this person dared to assassinate me last night, you see, my hand was injured like this!" Thanks to Taijun's daily teachings, I was vigilant and captured this person alive. ”

After showing Matsumoto the palm wrapped in the abrasive cloth to complain, Liu Fulong said again: "Matsumoto Taijun, according to my judgment, this person must be a member of the Anti-Union!" ”

"How so?"

"Taijun, please look!" Liu Fulong immediately took out the dart that stabbed him last night, and said: "This dart is called 'Eagle Dart', and there is a 'Qin' character on the dart surface, which is the unique secret weapon of the Qin family in Xinjing. A few years ago, in Laoheigou, we were ambushed by this kind of dart, and soon after, we killed them. Later, I heard that this dart appeared again in Lotus Mountain in Xinjingdong, and Shi Dangdang's anti-United Nations troops were hiding there. ”

"Sigh! Liu, you caught the anti-union elements, and you have a lot of credit! ”

After Matsumoto finished praising Liu Fulong, he turned to the stone pillar and said, "Yours, tell me honestly, where are the people of the Anti-Union hiding in Lotus Mountain?" ”

The stone pillar was not far from them, and he clearly heard the words of Liu Fulong and Matsumoto, and thought to himself, since the Japanese regarded him as a member of the Anti-Japanese Federation, they must want to get some information from him, it is better to push the boat down the river, maybe the Japanese will not kill him easily.

"Lao Tzu is from the Anti-United Nations, do you want to go to Lotus Mountain? Just help me kill the dog surnamed Liu, and I'll tell you! ”

"Horn Ga, dare to tell me the conditions! Someone, hang him on the playground until he says so! After Matsumoto finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and two Japanese soldiers dragged the stone pillar out.

Then, the stone pillar was tied up with his hands and hung on a wooden shelf, and only his toes could barely reach the ground, which was a torturous feeling of not being able to reach the world and not touching the ground. However, Shi Zhu saw that the Japanese obviously believed that they were anti-unionists, and they didn't want to shoot him, but just wanted him to suffer first.

At the beginning of the rainstorm, the stone pillar could still feel a burst of refreshment at first, but the closer to noon, the more powerful the water vapor on the ground evaporated from the sun, and the stone pillar sweated profusely, and in the end, even the sweat was gone. Shi Zhu was already seriously injured, and gradually felt physically exhausted, and slowly lost consciousness.

I don't know how long the stone pillar was hanged, but he only vaguely remembered that someone had fed him two mouthfuls of food and a few mouthfuls of water during this period, so that he would not starve to death.

That night, Shi Zhu seemed to see his grandmother in a daze, and saw his uncle, Xiaoyu, Zhu Huaiqing, Chun Tao, Chunhua, as well as Zhang Banxian, Luo Erfang, Liu Shanxiu, etc., they were all talking to themselves, but they couldn't hear clearly. Later, Shi Zhu remembered what Venerable Renfang had said to him. Later, I saw his father and Dai Dayan waving to him in the sky......

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and these people were gone, and what appeared in front of the stone pillar was Li Xianglan, who looked like a sixteen-year-old, with long hair, swaying gently in the breeze, and smiling at the stone pillar. This angelic smile made Shi Zhu's eyes light up, and he slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the stone pillar was already scorched, his exposed skin was blackened by the sun, and his lips were already dry and cracked. In a blur, he seemed to see a dark shadow walking towards him, but at this time, he could no longer tell whether it was in a dream or in reality.

"Shi, drink some water!" The sound stone pillar sounded familiar.

After taking a few sips of water, Shi Zhu became a little conscious, and looked at it, it turned out that it was Tanaka Kakuei standing in front of him, and he was feeding himself water while looking around vigilantly, for fear of being seen by others.

"How are you?" Shi Zhu asked in a thin voice.

"Stone, don't speak! I came to the military camp today to run errands, and it was your attendant little yellow dog who jumped up to me and pulled me to the playground to see you. You've been hanging for three days and three nights, and no one notices you at night, so I'll quietly let you go......"

Kakuei Tanaka quickly untied the rope tied to the stone pillar's hand, and then helped the stone pillar to avoid the searchlight, and walked to the wall that was not very high, pointed to the stone pillar, and said to the stone pillar: "Turn over from this side, and you will be able to leave!" ”

Shi Zhu couldn't understand the Japanese spoken by Kakuei Tanaka, but he had already understood the meaning, and he himself couldn't imagine that this Japanese who didn't want to "say goodbye" to himself who he accidentally helped on the road before he could risk saving himself at the most dangerous moment and pull himself back from the ghost gate, maybe this is the blessing that Master Renfang said!

Subsequently, Shizhu said to Kakuei Tanaka: "The grace of saving lives cannot be repaid!" In turn, he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Kakuei Tanaka in a little Japanese that he only knew: "どうもありがとうございます!" ”

"Go, go! Don't be discovered! After Tanaka Kakuei stuffed some more food for the stone pillar, he waved his hand to signal the stone pillar to leave quickly, and he himself quietly returned to the dormitory.

After eating something to regain his strength a little, the stone pillar jumped up with all his strength and climbed over the wall.

After escaping, Shi Zhu seemed to feel that he had gained another life, the pain he had suffered before was insignificant at this time, being alive was the most important thing, only by being alive could he have the opportunity to kill Liu Fulong again. Although he is very unwilling, the top priority is to get out of this dangerous situation as soon as possible. Before leaving, Shi Zhu subconsciously touched the outside of his calf, and his heart trembled instantly, and then he remembered that the dragon dagger was still in the hands of the Japanese officer.

The Thorn Dragon Dagger was originally given to the stone pillar by Feng Qingyun, and it is a priceless treasure inherited by the Feng family, if it is gone, the stone pillar may feel guilty for life. After the stone pillar was hoisted, Liu Fulong, in order to flatter the Japanese master, offered the thorny dragon dagger to Matsumoto, and he could see it clearly.

At this moment, the stone pillar was so anxious that even sweat broke out on his forehead, he regarded the thorn dragon dagger as more important than his own life, after some thought, he turned his head and decided to drag his extremely weak body back and take the thorn dragon dagger back.

At this time, the golden retriever bit the corner of Shizhu's pants and tried his best to prevent Shizhu from going back. When Shi Zhu wanted to say something, the Golden Retriever slipped into the devil's barracks, and Shi Zhu seemed to know what the Golden Retriever wanted to do.

After some anxious waiting, the golden retriever actually came back with the thorny dragon dagger in his mouth.

"Golden Retriever, good brother, this time it has helped me a lot! Thank you when you look back! After putting away the dragon dagger, the stone pillar staggered away with the golden retriever. As for the ensuing riots in the Japanese barracks, the stone pillars are naturally unknown. Liu Fulong and Matsumoto didn't know how the stone pillar escaped in the end, and how the thorny dragon dagger disappeared out of thin air.

Although the stone pillar escaped death, the gunshot wound to the shoulder was still serious, and it had already turned into pus, and if it was not treated, there might be some consequences. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Captain Shi whispered to him when he left Lotus Mountain, so he decided to go to Songhua Street in Harbin City to find "Xiangfu Tea House".

Just as the stone pillar staggered past a wilderness, the golden retriever suddenly bit the corner of the stone pillar's pants and squatted on the ground. Shi Zhu knew that there must be a situation in front of him, so he straightened his waist, straightened his clothes, smeared some wet mud on both sides of the wound, and endured the severe pain to cheer up.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, two people suddenly popped out of the grass on both sides, both holding spears and pointing at the stone pillars.

"What's the way? Report it! One of them asked the stone pillar.

Hearing this question, Shi Zhu knew that the two people standing in front of him should be bandits from the nearby locks, and eighty percent of those in this place were following the Japanese. Thanks to Cao Shangfei teaching himself a few black words when he was in Changchun, this will finally come in handy.

Shi Zhu clasped his hands into fists, then threw himself back from his left shoulder, saluted the two bandits, and then said in a half-pulled black language: "The two of you are side by side, the younger brother is a leader!" ”

Who knew that the two looked at each other after hearing this, looking puzzled. Seeing this, Shi Zhu thought to himself, it turned out that he had met two novices, and it would be easy to do. "Two brothers, you look like you're new here, right? I've never seen it before! Just the two of you on duty? ”

"Just the two of us! What about the new arrivals? ”

"Then the little brother will just say it. My surname is Shi, and I specialize in selling goods to the brothers and the imperial army. At night, I moved the pulp at the imperial army, and when I moved it big, I lay on the bridge by the ditch, no, it made the leaves full of mud! I also hope that the two brothers will let the younger brother pass! ”

The two of them were newcomers, and they heard Shizhu talk about the Tao, and they were probably really familiar with it, so they were afraid of offending people, so they took their guns and gave Shizhu a way.

As soon as the stone pillar took a few steps, a person behind him suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

"Isn't there something to show the stuffing?" Shi Zhu's heart suddenly became nervous.

Sure enough, the man continued: "You said that when you moved the pulp in the imperial army, why didn't it smell of pulp on your body? ”

"Maybe it's because I've been lying on the bridge for a long time, the smell of pulp has faded, and there is another smell of mud on my body, which is covered. Why don't you check this brother again? Shizhu turned around and walked slowly to the two men.

Just when the two of them came to check, Shi Zhu suddenly pulled out the thorn dragon dagger, and wiped it on one of the necks, and before he could react, the man reflexively covered his neck with his hands and whimpered. The other one was frightened when he saw this situation, and he panicked and wanted to pick up the gun, but he was pushed away by the stone pillar, and he was kicked and kicked to the ground directly. The stone pillar quickly threw out the dragon dagger and plunged it straight into the man's heart, and after a while, the man also fell in a pool of blood.

Looking at the two corpses, Shizhu sighed: "Alas, why is this so painful! I didn't want to kill people, who made you aggressive! ”

The stone pillar dragged the body to a dry ditch by the side of the road, and hurriedly covered it with some branches and hay before continuing on his journey. At this time, Shi Zhu suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wound, just now it was to pass by, so he tensed his nerves and forced him to calm down, and now he relaxed, and the severe pain of the wound naturally struck again. Shizhu had to go to a place with water first, wash the wound, and then continue to walk with the golden retriever after a little relief.

With some memories of the time when he was in Harbin a few days ago, the stone pillar groped in the dark, and finally found Songhua Street, and then along the cement pavement of the street, he successfully found the signboard of "Xiangfu Tea House" at the corner not far away.

"Knock knock......" The stone pillar held on to the door frame with one hand and tried to knock lightly with the other.

"Who is it in the middle of the night?" A man's voice came from the room, and it sounded a little vicissitudes.

"Second uncle asked me to borrow a fire!" Shi Zhu said the code according to Captain Shi's instructions.

After a while, the lights came on in the house, and the door of the tea house creaked open, and a thin old man in his fifties came out, wearing a gray coat and a pair of round copper-framed glasses. The man looked around, and then quickly helped the stone pillar into the house.
