Following the sound of footsteps, two people walked over, one wearing a military uniform and carrying a spear, the other wearing black clothes and white shirts, carrying a pole and a stick, it seemed that they were armed to patrol the night. Duan Laosan and Shi Suo clung to the back of the flower bed, holding their breath and not moving.

When the two night watchmen walked away, the footsteps were in the backyard, on the low wall, the figure flickered, and the black shadow jumped off the wall again. The movements were still brisk and silent, and Duan Laosan and Shi Suo couldn't help but secretly admire. The black shadow tiptoed forward. Duan Laosan and Shi Suo glanced at each other, and then walked forward, there was the dark courtyard with laurel trees, what was this black shadow going to do?

The door of the small courtyard was tightly closed, and the shadows of the few laurel trees in the courtyard slanted to the outside of the courtyard, and the black shadow looked left and right, and then walked towards the courtyard of the laurel tree. Duan Laosan and Shi Suo both knew that there were sentinels in the courtyard, and at this time they were already able to determine that this black shadow would not be a thief, he neither ran to the warehouse nor to the bedroom, but went straight to this suspicious courtyard, could it be that his purpose was the same as himself?

The two were puzzled, and the black shadow walked to the gate of the courtyard, stretched out his hand and patted the door twice.

At this time, in the dead of night, the sound of banging on the door was particularly clear, the black shadow stood in front of the door, a ray of moonlight, shining on the body, Duan Laosan and Shi Suo saw that the black shadow was slender, and his face was covered with a black veil, and he couldn't see his face clearly. It seemed to be carrying something in his hand, and it was soft and collapsed like a piece of rope. At this time, the door of the small courtyard opened with a "creak", and a soldier wearing a hat leaned out his upper body and asked, "Who?" ”

When the soldier saw the black shadow covered with a black veil in front of him, he couldn't help but cry out "ah", and at the same time, the black shadow moved quickly, raised his hand, and the rope in his hand was put on the soldier's neck, and at the same time flew up with a kick, the soldier fell on his back, and the rifle fell to the ground.

Shi Suo and Duan Laosan hid in a corner of the wall behind, cheering for the swift movements of the black shadow, suddenly, another figure flashed under the moonlight, and on both sides of the courtyard wall of the small courtyard, two more figures came over, both of them were dressed in black clothes and white shirts, each holding a pole in their hands, one left and one right, along the outer wall of the small courtyard, to the masked black shadow outflanked the past.

At this moment, Duan Laosan and Shi Suo's hearts both raised their throats, although they didn't know what the masked black shadow was, but seeing that he had subdued the sentry in the small courtyard, he was obviously looking for trouble in Shang Huaiqing's mansion, so they naturally regarded him as their own person, and the two of them were elated, but they didn't expect that there was a secret sentry outside the small courtyard, and at this moment, the masked man was already in the middle of a two-sided attack, which was extremely dangerous.

The masked man also noticed the strangeness behind him, raised his hand back, a flash of light, and flew backwards, looking at the white moonlight, it was a slender and snowy flying knife.

The flying knife made a slight sound of breaking the air in the dark night, and the force was very great, and a man who was carrying a rod and stick against the root of the wall hurriedly dodged, and at the same time met it with the rod in his hand, and with a "dang" sound, the knives and sticks collided, and the flying knife fell to the ground.

The masked man missed, his body shook, and he jumped away, at this time another family member had already jumped up, waved the rod in his hand, and hit the masked man with his head, and the masked man turned around, his movements were fast, his hand flipped over, and he held a flying knife in his hand, and used the flying knife as a dagger, stabbing towards the family ding. This jump, turn, and stab, the movements were brisk, and the body was small and soft, Duan Laosan and Shi Suo had already seen that this masked man was actually a woman. The two of them were even more surprised.

Another family member who was blocked by the flying knife also caught up, brandished a pole and stick, and hit the masked woman, the woman did not show weakness, under the attack of the two poles and sticks, her slender body was like a black butterfly piercing the flowers around the tree, and a flying knife in her hand stabbed horizontally, forcing the two strong mansion family members to hurry and retreat step by step.

Shi Suo almost shouted, but Duan Laosan knew that the woman's situation was extremely dangerous, and after a long time, even if she won, she didn't know how many soldiers, family members, and guards in the mansion would come, and if she delayed a little, reinforcements would come in a steady stream. Moreover, the sentry who had been subdued by her just now had recovered his breath and was getting up to pick up the rifle that had fallen to the ground.

"Up." Duan Laosan snorted lightly.

Shi Suo jumped forward, like a black whirlwind, and suddenly pounced on it, and in a blink of an eye he was behind a family member, who heard the wind behind him and was not right, just turned half of his body, and before he could see the situation behind him, he was thrown to the ground by Shi Suo with a rod and stick.

The other family member had been beaten by the masked woman to the point that he couldn't reach it, and when he saw his companion being knocked down by a figure that suddenly came out, he was so frightened that he turned around to run, but the masked woman threw out a flying knife, and the family member fell to the ground with an "oops". At this time, Duan Laosan had already run to the gate of the courtyard, and the soldier had just touched the big gun, and Duan Laosan was hit in the head again, snorted, and fell down again.

"Someone's coming." Not far away, someone was shouting, obviously, the fight here had alarmed the guards in the courtyard. Duan Laosan grabbed a picked up rod in his hand and shouted, "Hurry up." ”

The masked woman seemed reluctant to go, so she got up and ran into the courtyard, and Shi Suo grabbed her, "Let's go." Who knew that the man shook his hand and broke free from the stone lock and said, "I want to save people." There was both anxiety and crying in his voice. Duan Laosan was also in a hurry, and he caught up with Shi Suo, dragged up the masked woman, and said anxiously: "If you don't leave, it's too late." ”

In the mansion, the footsteps everywhere were ringing in a hurry, bursts of shouting, one after another, Shi Suo couldn't help but say, dragged up the masked man and ran violently, turned a corner, heard footsteps from the opposite side, the three of them quickly turned a corner again, climbed over a short wall, jumped to the backyard, Duan Laosan wanted to run to the back wall, over the wall, but just ran to a place more than ten meters away from the courtyard wall, along the courtyard wall, there was a rush of footsteps, obviously, it was the guards to block the backyard.

Shi Suo was in a hurry, and now it was too late to go over the wall, Duan Laosan was in a hurry, and tore the black cloth on the masked man's face, and threw it at the wall together with the rod in his hand. The rod was wrapped in a black cloth and flew over the wall "suddenly", only to hear someone shouting: "Someone jumped over the wall, jumped over." ”

Duan Laosan returned with the stone lock and the masked woman, sticking to the root of the wall, and ran to the firewood shed, the backyard was the location of the big stove house, and no one usually lived there, let alone guarded, at this time there was no chasing soldier, the three of them quickly got into the firewood shed, the shed was full of piles of old rotten firewood, Duan Laosan and the stone lock hurriedly dismantled the firewood, let the woman get in, and then covered it with firewood, and after a while, the firewood shed was full of dust, choking the three people coughed.

As soon as it was covered, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Duan Laosan slowly opened the door of the shed, pretending to be sleepy-eyed, and looked out, a team of family members was running to him, Duan Laosan yawned and asked, "What's the matter, is there a thief?" ”

"Get up, catch the thief." A family member said.

"Okay, okay," Duan Laosan turned around and said, "Hey, hey, brother, don't sleep, get up and catch the thief." (To be continued.) )
