Chapter 279: Catching Bandits on a Snowy Night
Heavy snowfall began in the second half of the night. The morning sun tried to shoot a few reddish rays of light, but in the end it still failed to show its face.
On the mountain road with crystal snowflakes, a man rode a horse and walked unhurriedly. Not far away, a donkey cart, carrying a tightly wrapped woman, was also swaying, swept away in the snow waves, which were tight and slow.
Huozi's mother-in-law's maiden name is Yang, and the family population is also simple. Brother Yang Hu, after marrying, he was separated and lived alone next door. In the old house, only the old couple are left to rely on each other. is a girl, Yang Hua, because she got polio when she was young, and one leg seemed shorter. Although she looks smart, she thinks she is a cripple, she is almost thirty years old, and she has not yet proposed marriage to a serious person. I really had no choice, so I had to promise it to my rabbit-mouthed cousin in the distance.
Although Yang Hua has a problem with her legs, she is ingenious and has a strong personality. Who knows, Huozi looks wilted and honest on the surface, but in fact, he is a lazy and lazy master.
When I got married, it would be quite stable, and Yang Hua would go to the field to work all day long, and the days were still bright. But later, some random people came to the leather workshop, and they spent all day drinking and drinking, and they secretly ran there when they had nothing to do. At first, Yang Hua didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Huozi was making a fresh and happy life. But then I simply soaked there all day and was not at home. scolded him and asked him, and he couldn't squeeze out a clear fart.
One night, Yang Hua let the raw cucumber eat bad stomach, and when she went to the thatched house in the middle of the night, she secretly saw a group of people, carrying a few bundles of spears and many large wooden boxes, and put them in the big vegetable cellar of their house. Only then did he understand that the gang had a background, and they couldn't let Huozi follow them anymore.
So, first of all, he reasoned with Huozi, but saw that Huozi was silent and did not enter the oil and salt. He was angry from his heart, and simply said what he saw at night. and threatened that if they didn't move their things, Huozi would still follow them, and they would expose it to the government.
Huozi knows that Yang Hua is a master who can say it and can do it. felt that this matter was very important, so he quietly told the fifth son. Who knew that the fifth son said as if nothing had happened: "Don't worry, women, they are all knife-mouthed tofu hearts, can she bear to let her man cause trouble?" Go back and coax well, be patient on the kang, and stuff some money into your arms. ”
Wuzi said in his mouth, squeezing out a look of obscenity and greed on his face, and took out a few dollars and pestle for Huozi. And settle down and don't make a noise, and be careful to lead trouble.
Wuzi just understated the matter to Stationmaster Hu. Stationmaster Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Wuzi with a solemn expression: "Don't show it out in advance, you should pay more attention, you can't let that woman make any trouble." ”
Wuzi said with a disapproving look: "That woman just loves to chatter, but in fact, she doesn't have the guts." One day I'll scare and scare her with words and tell her to shut up. ”
Stationmaster Hu glanced at Wuzi strangely, and muttered to himself: "I heard that your kid and Huozi are close, so you won't be beating the attention of other people's mothers-in-law." ”
Wuzi looked embarrassed, laughed and muttered: "The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass by the nest, how can he do that at the door of the house." ”
Stationmaster Hu smiled slyly and turned to leave.
The heavy snow still fell, and the gray sky was not lit by a single star. The earth was shrouded in a fluttering veil of snow. The fifth son came to the Yang family, and it was still when he accompanied Huozi to marry. For the simple old house structure of the Yang family, I still remember it vividly. On the kang of the main house, the old couple are asleep, and the side room suite is Yang Hua's boudoir.
In fact, Wuzi has coveted Yang Hua's appearance for a long time, and often thinks about things that make his heart beat hot. But afraid of Yang Hua's temperament, he has never dared to act rashly. This time, in order to curry favor with the stationmaster, he received his life. If you don't do it, you'll never get a chance.
For this reason, he pondered for a long time, it is impossible to be soft, and he can only work hard with his heart. It's not difficult to quietly enter Yang Hua's house, but I'm afraid of making some noise on Yang Huakang. woke up the old couple, and things were complicated.
After thinking about it again and again, I simply didn't do anything, and I knocked the old guy unconscious first when I entered the door. As for Yang Hua, he can only be raped and then killed after being knocked unconscious. Although it is rare, there is no way out.
The fifth son pinched the time, and with a nervous and slightly excited mood, he quietly touched the low part of the courtyard wall of the Yang family, listened vigilantly, and then leaned into the wall with both hands.
I saw him tiptoe to the door of the house, and listened quietly for a while. Just as he was about to reach out and quietly push the door, he saw a little cold star passing by, and a fluttering red tasseled dart was inserted between his fingers impartially.
Wuzi was suddenly stunned, and just wanted to look back, but unexpectedly, a figure suddenly floated behind him. While he was still in a daze, one arm was snapped behind him like lightning. At the same time, I only felt a heart-piercing pain, and my arm was unboned. Immediately after, the kneecap seemed to be slammed into a hard object, and his body staggered, and he fell to the ground with his buttocks, and he could no longer move.
At this time, I only heard a woman shouting loudly: "The Yang family has entered the thief, hurry up and catch the thief." ”
In a blink of an eye, not only did the old man of the Yang family and Yang Hua come, but also recklessly came to Yang Hua's brother. Yang Hua saw that it was the fifth son, and he grinned at the root of the wall. So he was stunned and held up the hoe, and said hatefully: "He is a bad person, give me a beating." ”
So, the brother of the second pole didn't say anything, picked up the hoe and smashed it at the fifth son.
In the dark, I only heard Wuzi snort and turned his back on his breath. Shuzhen, who was hiding in the shadows, hurriedly dodged over and shouted, "Don't fight! ”
The hoe raised by Brother Yang Hua shook a few times in the air, and he saw a woman blocking in front. Just about to have a seizure, he was pushed away by Yang Hua, and took Shuzhen's hand with a smile on his face and said, "Frozen bad, right?" Come to the house and warm up. ”
Shuzhen smiled gently and said, "Don't get in the way, first tie him up and settle down in a place, and hand it over to the militia early tomorrow morning." ”
When Brother Yang Hua heard about it, he immediately got a thick hemp rope and tied it up clumsily. When he twisted the back of Goko's hand, Goko couldn't help but howl like a pig.
Shuzhen glanced at him contemptuously, and suddenly flew up and kicked Goko in the shoulder. Strangely, instead of feeling pain, Goko found that his arm was able to move. So, I thought to myself: It's in the hands of a master today.
Shuzhen saw that Brother Yang Hua got the drunken Wuzi into the donkey pen and put the door bolt. He dragged Yang Hua with confidence and said, "To the outside world, I said that it was a thief caught by your brother, don't talk about anything else." With that, he dodged and drowned in the darkness.
Brother Yang Hua likes to brag nonsense on weekdays, but this time when he seized an opportunity, he was even more dismayed.
said that he peed in the middle of the night, and he heard movement in the courtyard, so he looked for a hoe to hide in the dark, and it didn't take much effort, and sure enough, a figure sneakily came to push the door. He didn't say a word, picked up the hoe and knocked the man to the ground, pulled the rope and tied it firmly.
The matter of the Yang family's thieves was noisy in the village for a while. Some people say that the Yang family recruited thieves because of the golden cigarette pouch handed down by their ancestors, and some people say that it was Yang Hua who provoked the rioters. Anyway, there are some things to say, but Yang Hua insists that he is here to steal something.
Huzi was holding the book and was engrossed, only to see Shuzhen carrying a string of Gala chicken in her hand and walking in with a smile. Seeing that there were more people in the house, he first shook his head for a moment, and then smiled at Hu Ziwen, who wanted to stop talking, and said, "I just left the county seat, and I met your second uncle." I heard that you have a leg injury, so I have to get you a few gala chickens to make up for your body, saying that you are squeezing under the southern slope. You're kind of lucky, and he really got it. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to Xiao Wang and said, "Find a place to feed these two living ones first, and these three dead ones will get some hot water to pick up, and stew one for Huzi to eat every day." ”
Xiao Wang stretched out his hand to pick it up, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Huzi and said, "Eat like this, don't feed Brother Huzi into a fat pig." ”
Huzi pretended to be displeased and waved his hand and said, "Go to work!" Just talk a lot about you. ”
Shuzhen followed up and said, "You get hot water first, and I'll go over as soon as I speak." ”
Shuzhen couldn't talk to Huzi much, but she just warmed up with a distressed shush Han, gave Huzi a hint, and hurried out of the ward.
Shuzhen dragged Xiao Wang to a secluded place, settled down carefully, and Xiao Wang immediately rushed back to the county seat.
Shuzhen carried the white and tender Gala chicken, circled in front of the tiger, and said with a meaningful face: "Look at the oily and fat." ”
Seeing Huzi smirking at her in a daze, Shuzhen pouted and smiled while fiddling with the Gala chicken in her hand: "Xiao Chen is really a useless person, I heard me say that his object came back last night, and the monkey was in a hurry. So I sent him back, and in three days he changed me. Besides, it's not easy to stay here. ”
Huzi grinned and said: "Xiao Wang is a daughter-in-law, and everyone in the bureau knows it." ”
Shuzhen gave Huzi a look, held the gala chicken and said with a smile: "Put it outside and freeze it, and you can eat it tomorrow." With that, he walked out of the door with light steps.
According to the information provided by Shuzhen, each of the bandits in the leather workshop has a group of Qing Gang infiltrators in their hands, and they control and hide a large number of materials and money.
Therefore, Secretary Wang decided to immediately close the net and arrest the leader of the Green Gang in Pifang, and interrogate him overnight, striving to dig out more hidden members of the Green Gang. Fundamentally eradicate or weaken the local youth gang counterrevolutionary forces.
The heavy snow for a day and night has smeared the originally single-toned earth with a heavy stroke.
In the second half of the night, the mountain wind is particularly cold, making people feel like pins and needles on their faces. A team of police officers, dressed in white cloaks, was quietly surrounding the silent and sour leather mill.
Stationmaster Hu and his group were still in a sweet sleep, so they were handcuffed in a daze. After a surprise interrogation, in addition to the six leaders of the leather workshop, a total of more than 50 people were arrested and a large number of guns, ammunition and materials were stolen. After verification, these are the four of Fuyuan County. 3. The property that was looted during the counter-revolutionary riots.
Just after lunch, two men who looked like cleaners came to the ward in a big way. Xiangzi nodded silently at the two of them, and the two of them pounced on the patient who was in a daze with lightning speed. The handcuffed patient wanted to argue about something, but the alert person came and found a Browning pistol under his pillow.
Seeing that the patient looked depressed and hung his head, Huzi sneered at him and said, "It seems that the leg of the chief of staff is going to be treated in prison." ”
The man seemed to be stunned for a moment, glanced at Huzi suspiciously, and stopped talking. Finally, like a deflated ball, he hung his head in pity.
That person was none other than the chief of staff of the 'New Cavalry Fifth Army', a counter-revolutionary organization of the Youth Gang. 3. An Qifeng, the mastermind of the counter-revolutionary uprising.
