Chapter 18: Let's Do It Together...... (b)
No matter how happy the people in the room were, they were so frightened that they fell on their beds when they saw two fierce masked thieves break in.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."
Zhang Yan held a dagger and put it on the fat prostitute. Cheng Qi thought that Zhang Yan had figured out the location, and when he came in, he would be angry and blood-spattered for five steps.
Unexpectedly, the first thing she did when she came in was to put a knife on the neck of an unlucky fat man, and then forced the smooth ** to gag the fat man's mouth and tie it to the bedpost.
"Where's Mika?"
"She's next door." ** Cowardly under the threat of a knife. Cheng Qi felt that the girl who was threatened by the dagger might be eighteen or nineteen years old, at most twenty.
"You put on your clothes."
Under Zhang Yan's command, ** put the skirt up a little messily. Cheng Qi naturally refused to let go of this large spring light, and carefully observed the girl's snow-white thighs, as well as some other indescribable points.
Zhang Yan took out a roll of rolled bills from her waist: "This is fifty yuan, you go to Meixiang next door, make a fuss with her, and make things as big as possible, this money is yours." ”
** Looking at the strange man in the mask, and then at the fat man who was tied, standing on the ground hesitating and not daring to move.
Zhang Yan's knife was attached to the fat man's neck: "If you are told to go, you will go...... If you don't listen to me, I'll let him die here—guess what's going to happen to you?" ”
** Frightened, shuddered, busy; "I'll go, I'll go...... I'm going to go to Mika's house...... But how am I going to ......?"
"You just have to throw your arms on the man in her house and make Meixiang think you're here to steal business."
**After thinking about it, I felt that this was easy, and I coveted the fifty money in Zhang Yan's hand, so I agreed to go. After she went out, Zhang Yan said to the fat man: "You just stay here honestly and don't make any noise, otherwise it will only be bad for you." ”
After that, she asked Cheng Qi to hand herself the towel on the shelf next to the bed, and after blindfolding the fat man's eyes, she gestured to Cheng Qi, and the two exited the room together.
As soon as she went out, Cheng Qi grabbed her; "What the hell are you going to do?"
"Revenge." Zhang Yan said coldly; "Do you have any other options but to help me now...... Also, if you can't help, it's best not to be a stumbling block. ”
As she spoke, she untied the cloth bag tied to her belt, took out two porcelain bottles from it and handed them to Cheng Qi: "If you want to help, help me hold this."
"What is this?"
"You'll find out later."
Zhang Yan led him back, and when he walked to the corridor near the riverbank, she pried open a window with a dagger, and before she went in, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is there already a commotion over there?" ”
Cheng Qi listened with his ears pricked up for a while, and it did seem to be the voice of a woman fighting: "It should be." ”
"That's now, no one will notice here."
Zhang Yan climbed through the window and entered the house, the sound of landing was very light, and there was no movement at all. Cheng Qi was a little clumsy, and almost knocked over a vase on a shelf by the window.
Zhang Yan took out a fire fold from her arms, shook it, walked to the table in the middle of the room, picked up a half-lit candle and lit it.
She walked to the bed with a candle, looked at the couple sleeping on the bed through the curtain, nodded, and motioned for Cheng Qi to hand her the porcelain vase.
After the seal of the porcelain vase was opened, a strong smell was emitted, and Cheng Qi vaguely felt that there was a bad premonition in her heart, but she stood in place and did not stop her.
Zhang Yan poured out the liquid in the porcelain bottle, spilled it on the cabinet, poured it on the floor, and spilled it on the clothes next to the bed, and finally she simply splashed it all on the gauze curtain.
The strong smell seemed to smoke the person on the bed to wake up, and Zhang Yan had already thrown the candle in her hand with a smile.
The flames were already rising, and Cheng Qi grabbed her hand—very soft, tender, and a little slippery—and ran out.
He was fast enough, but he still felt the endless heat coming from behind him.
The two of them climbed through the window one after the other, and only then came the terrible screams of a woman and the howl of a somewhat familiar man behind them.
At this moment, he had no time to care about the life and death of the two people in the house. All he knows is that every second from now on counts to him!
Cheng Qi pulled Zhang Yan out of the corridor with lightning speed, and only needed one more turn to run to the water gate, but if he didn't die, there was a drop of four or five steps at the last turn, and at the bottom of the steps, there seemed to be a handyman who brought tea and water and collided with them.
didn't have time to think about it at all, he took advantage of the momentum of running, flew up on the steps, kicked down the handyman who hadn't understood what was going on, and then ran past the man with Zhang Yan, and rushed to the water gate, until he locked the door and got on the boat, he felt that his heart was about to jump out.
Zhang Yan shook the oar, Cheng Qi helped her lock the copper lock on the fence, and then took the key and asked; "What about this?" She shook desperately, hoping to get as far away from the scene as possible - it was a place for dogs and horses, and there were still many people around, and as long as they hadn't left, it would still be unsafe.
"Throw it in the water!" Zhang Yan popped out from between her teeth: "This is a copy." ”
Cheng Qi threw it hard at the sparkling water in the distance, only to hear a pop, and his heart sank like the metal key that had entered the water.
Zhang Yan is much more familiar with the terrain than him, and he has crossed from a water alley that seems to be rarely passed through to a rice field in the south of the city - the green hills five or six miles away are black, which reminds Cheng Qi of Brother Xun's description when he watched the social drama in "Hometown", "The fragrance of the beans and wheat on both sides of the river and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river are mixed with the water vapor blowing in the face; The moonlight was hazy in the water. The pale black undulating mountains, like the spine of an iron beast, ran far away towards the stern, but I still thought the boat was slow. ”
Didn't Cheng Qi think the boat was slow? After the adventure just now, the tight string in his mind finally gradually relaxed, and the whole person felt extremely tired. And Zhang Yan's speed of swaying has also decreased a lot.
The night in the suburbs at this moment was quiet, with the Milky Way lying in the sky, and the water on the ground pushing the boat southward. The fragrance of unknown crops wafting from both banks, and the strange willows on the bank seem to be the terrifying goblins in the story of gods and monsters, guarding the key points at the bend of the river.
Zhang Yan let the boat float in the river by herself, and she dropped the oar and sat quietly on the bow of the boat. Cheng Qi looked at her playing with the mask, and only felt that this woman was indeed as beautiful as a flower, sinking fish and geese, but she was indeed like a snake and scorpion, and she was extremely vicious.
Until now, his mind seemed to linger with the screams of the two people who had been engulfed in flames...... Their mournful voices seemed to echo in his ears all the time.
