In March in the northwest mountains, as long as the sun sets, the cold wind will not lose the opportunity to rush over.

When Huzi saw that the woman wearing only a jacket was shivering with cold, he took off the leather jacket that he had to spare for the night from the horse, handed it to the woman, and said, "Put it on, see if it makes you cold." ”

Seeing that the woman obediently took the leather jacket, Huzi glanced at it with pity, and said tentatively: "Actually, it's not a big deal for two people to fight, so let's go home and live a good life for a few days." ”

When the woman heard this, she muttered with a frightened look, "Don't go back, don't go back." He's a brute, not a man. ”

Huzi sighed lightly and said: "Look at the floor of your yard, it should have been a wealthy family in the past, why did it fall into the way it is now?" ”

The woman's face showed pain, twisted her neck stiffly, and said with a long sigh: "If you want to say that the Bao family was one of the best families in the area of Thief Ditch a few years ago. Since the old man had a stroke three years ago, his family has begun to lose. We were idle all day long, not doing our jobs, and socializing with some random people, and smoking big cigarettes.

A few days ago, in the second half of the night, more than a dozen people came to laugh, all of them like hungry wolves. I served them food and listened to them mutter: The outside is chasing too closely, and they want to hide in my house for a while, and my family will settle them in the potato cellar. ”

Huzi interrupted eagerly, "Are those people still there?" ”

The woman glanced at Huzi with a puzzled face, and said with resentment: "Isn't it, I still have to serve and drink all day long." ”

Huzi said thoughtfully: "Have they been hiding inside and not coming out?" ”

The woman said contemplatively: "Sometimes I come out, but I go out a few times in the middle of the night, and come back in the middle of the night the next day." Sneaky, I don't know what the hell they are going to do again. ”

Huzi's spirits perked up slightly, and he pretended to be casual on the surface and said, "Then why did he beat you in the afternoon?" ”

When the woman heard this, she twisted her head to the side in pain, and an inexplicable blush passed over her face. After a moment of silence, the woman bit her lip as if she had made up her mind, and said with an angry face: "It's too embarrassing to say." At noon today, Leng Buding came to look like a businessman, and our family, as if he was seeing a fairy, was going around people's houses.

It was the busy work of slaughtering chickens and cooking meat to feed me, and the shameless brute in my house also settled me to change into bright clothes, saying that he wanted me to sleep with that person at night. I don't want to do it, and when I run out, I will meet you. ”

When Huzi heard this, he looked around a little restlessly, and said as calmly as possible: "It's time to see that it's here, we have other things, so don't let it go." I'll give you a fur coat. ”

What else did the woman want to say, but Huzi and the warriors who came with her had already galloped away from another road.

After running wildly for a while, Huzi suddenly reined in his horse and said eagerly: "You go straight to the county seat now, take the police force and run to the thief ditch overnight, and I will go to transfer the militia." We must not let this group run away. ”

In the early night sky, a few bold stars appeared in the clouds and mist, and in the gray-black sky, a faint silver light shimmered. The green hills in the south are faintly darker and farther away.

The dogs in the neighborhood have been secretly harmed by the Bao family, and in the cold air, there is only the regular crowing of the rooster.

Huzi led more than a dozen militiamen in Dayou, and quietly surrounded the Bao family compound at night. And settle the team members, as long as someone from the Bao family comes out, they will take it immediately, and never let go of a bandit.

In the quiet night, just waiting for the arrival of the police force.

In the second half of the night, the sky was dressed by the cold mountain wind, and the half-curved waning moon hung obliquely on the treetops, bringing a cold white light to the earth.

Huzi heard a slight squeeze behind him and knew that the police force had come up. So, the spirit lifted and greeted.

first said to the team members for their hard work, and then lowered his voice with a solemn expression and said: "In a team of two, rush in and control the house first, if there is no resistance, try not to shoot and hurt people." ”

More than a dozen black shadows quietly touched into the compound, and Huzi took the lead in rushing towards the main house. The dark room was dimmed into gray by the glimmer of light outside the window, and one person fell asleep at each end of the kang.

Huzi tiptoed up to one of them and tugged at the quilt. The man rolled over lazily, and then, in a panic, jumped to his feet. Before he could make a sound, he was covered by the person guarding the kang, who was a man from the Bao family.

The slight sound woke the other man, and with a flash of cold light, the man pulled out a pistol from under his pillow.

Before he could straighten the barrel of the gun, a cold star flashed, and the cold dart was already inserted into the back of his hand, and at the same time, Huzi's spirit flashed, and the muzzle of the gun was already against the man's head.

Huzi said to the team members who came in later: "Handcuffed! ”

The man seemed to be fully awake at this time, and he pulled out the dart with a grin, tore the quilt and wrapped it around the wound, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?" Why just arrest people, I'm a legitimate businessman, protected by the government. ”

Under the dim oil lamp, the man of the Bao family looked frightened and depressed, but the other person was still shouting proudly. Huzi didn't pay attention to him, picked up the man of the Bao family and left the house.

At this time, the east had turned white, and Daystar was blinking bright eyes and smiling at everything on the ground.

Huzi let go of his hand and asked in a majestic voice, "Who is in the house?" ”

The man of the Bao family squeaked and refused to say at first, but when Huzi saw this, he kicked him hard, and said angrily: "Your wife is all talking, you will explain happily, and maybe you can leave a way for you to live." ”

The man of the Bao family hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said with a slumped head: "It's a leader of the Qing Gang, who said that he came to contact the Qing Gang bandits from all over the country to make trouble on May Day." I don't know anything else. ”

Huzi nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Where is the tunnel entrance?" How many people are in there? Do you have a weapon? ”

The man of the Bao family seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then shook his head in frustration and said, "There are eleven people, three spears, two *, and two box cannons." ”

Huzi then asked in a soothing tone, "Are there any other weapons besides guns?" Like, ** or something? ”

The man of the Bao family said affirmatively: "Mo, no, when they came, they had those belongings, * they still got back from before." ”

Huzi cursed a swear word in his mouth that others couldn't hear, and said to the man of the Bao family: "Is there only an entrance and exit of the vegetable cellar?" ”

The man of the Bao family nodded stunnedly. Huzi waved behind him and said, "Lead the way!" ”

The vegetable cellar is next to the stable in the backyard, and the cellar entrance is very secret, and Huzi motioned for the Bao family man to shout.

The man hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and lifted the lid of the wicker cellar, and shouted in his mouth, "It's me, Bao Cunlu." The courtyard is surrounded by people, I see you also come out and surrender, there is no other way out. ”

Huzi saw that he was too close to the mouth of the cellar, and as soon as he reached out and dragged it over, a shot was placed inside, and the bullet flew into the sky with a whistling bullet.

Huzi gritted his teeth angrily, squatted at the mouth of the cellar and said, "Come out and surrender quickly!" It is useless to resist. You are all wicked bandits, and we can kill you on the spot.

I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, we'll throw all the dozen or so we've brought from the vegetable cellar, and it's too heavy to carry anyway. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his voice: "One--, two--"

When the count reached two, it suddenly spoke: "Okay, okay, okay, let's take it!" ”

Huzi said in a majestic voice: "Don't bring weapons, hold your head in your hands, and come out one by one." ”

After escorting back the bandits, Huzi did not rest for a moment, and immediately organized an interrogation, which resulted in an unexpected harvest.
