At this time, Duan Laosan and a few people had already walked out of the town, and suddenly Dafeng said: "No, you see, those people are sneaky, are they staring at us?" ”

Sure enough, on the edge of the town, behind a corner, two figures disappeared.

The tinker was scared, "This, don't let them follow again." Uncle Mi is very powerful, and he is a tyrant in this place. ”

Duan Laosan comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go far away and avoid them." You go on to say. ”

"Good. Where did you just go? Oh, last night, those people went out of the woods to meet the blind man, I was secretly glad that I was not discovered by them, and was about to stand up and sneak away, suddenly, something even more frightening appeared, a big tree next to me, a head poked out from the back, less than a foot away from me, but it startled me, I hid here to pee, when I entered the woods, quietly, there was no one, until the group of guys came to the woods, and I didn't see anyone else, the head poked out from behind the tree, is it a person or a ghost? At that time, although it was not completely dark, but the sun had already set, and the woods were darker than outside, and I was scared in my heart, but let alone mention it, I was so frightened that I screamed 'Mom' and fell, and I was so flustered that if you saw it, you would definitely laugh at me. ”

"Haha," Shi Suo smiled, "Your name has not been discovered by that group of Master Mi's men?" ”

"But no, it was heard at the time, those guys looked back and saw me, and they were taken aback, there were two big men, who ran to me, scared me, I didn't even lift my pants, I ran away, at this time, from the edge of the woods, behind every big tree, people jumped out, that scene, it was really dumbfounded, who would have thought, there were so many people hidden in the woods, when I first entered the woods, I thought I was looking for a secluded place to pee, but it turned out that I was in the ambush circle of others, How do you say that you are peeing under the noses of so many people? ”

The tinkerer shook his head as he spoke, and Duan Laosan asked, "Who are those people who are lying in ambush in the woods?" ”

"They are all Taoist priests. I don't know where so many old Taoists came from, I was scared and surprised at the time, not to mention, we are playing crafts, and we can be regarded as going south and north, but I have never seen so many Taoist priests appear together, even in the Taoist temple, there are not so many old Taoists. ”

Duan Laosan and the others all remembered the conversation between the fat and thin tea guests chatting in the teahouse, and the statement about the Taoist priest fighting seemed to be true. The tinker continued: "I was scared at the time, but fortunately, those Taoist priests did not come at me, one of them kicked me, also because I was in his way, they swarmed, all rushed towards those men, originally, the blind man walked to the edge of the woods, this time, everyone was surprised, the two men who rushed towards me, also stopped, to meet the blind man, also turned to deal with the Taoist priest, in the woods, outside the woods, immediately became a battlefield, those evil men and Taoist priests, It's all together, but no one cares about me anymore. As soon as I saw it, I didn't run, but I really couldn't run, so I picked up the toolbox and ran away. ”

"They fight, who wins?" Shi Suo asked with interest.

"I don't know, I didn't dare to look any further, but the number of Taoist priests is large, and they may take advantage."

"What about the blind man?"

The tinker still shook his head, "They fought, there were shouts and killings everywhere, it was messy, the figures were all mixed together, and I couldn't tell where the blind man was, I was busy running away, who knows where the blind man ended up, so many people fought, and they trampled him to death." ”

Walking out of the town, Duan Laosan said to the tinker: "Big brother, we are going to the city, will you go with us?" ”

"Let's go together, I'll go to the city too, if I run into Uncle Mi's people again, I can't fight them myself, hehe."

Outside the city of Wuchang, the water network of lakes along the Yangtze River is all over the place, the land is flat, and the farmland villages and towns are densely populated. Not far from the side of the road, there is a forest, with a little pink flowers, it is very bright from a distance, at this time it is just early spring, few flowers open, those flowers are particularly eye-catching, Dafeng said: "It's really beautiful, you go first, I'll go over and see." ”

Dafeng has a bold personality, but it can't get rid of the girl's love of beauty, see flowers, can't help but go to watch, go closer, find that this large forest, in fact, is not a tree, all planted woody cherry blossoms, there are early cherry blossoms, late cherry blossoms, mountain cherry blossoms, etc., sparse and dense, staggered layers upon layers, natural and casual, at this time the flowering period has not arrived, only a few early cherry blossoms, blooming pink petals, a piece of pink with red, delicate and pink, people can't help but love.

Dafeng was watching with joy, leaning closer to the branch to admire it, and suddenly a shout came, "What are you doing?" ”

This shout came from the depths of the cherry blossom forest, and two soldiers came over with guns, glared at them and shouted, "What person, come here." ”

Dafeng is a little strange, how could such a beautiful garden come out of the vicious and nasty GIs? The scenery in the entire flower forest has been destroyed. She didn't answer the two soldiers' questions, turned around and left. When the two soldiers saw that it was a young girl admiring the flowers, they chased after them in vain, and turned around and went back.

Catching up with Duan Laosan and others, Dafeng told him about meeting the soldiers, and Duan Laosan said: "It's not strange, such an elegant garden must be from a rich family or a powerful person, and it is normal to have soldiers guarding it." ”

Entering the city, in the streets and alleys, there are colorful posters pasted in several places, painting costumed characters, and the words "Feiyun Pavilion Grand Stage hires famous actors to perform ten times in a row, and the grand occasion is unprecedented". Duan Laosan quietly found some beggars he knew before, and when he inquired, he learned that it was indeed the team invited by Shang Huaiqing to act, and the Zhang Mansion was busy day and night, as if he was going to entertain guests, and people came and went every day, as if they were going to do a happy event.

"Shang Huaiqing is not surnamed Zhang, how can he live in Zhang's mansion?" Dafeng asked.

Duan Laosan explained: "The original owner of the Zhang Mansion was surnamed Zhang, but later declined, and the house was bought by Shang Huaiqing, and it was still called the Zhang Mansion without changing its name. In my opinion, since the Zhang Mansion is so lively, there must be something, Shang Huaiqing is not only a local tyrant family here, but also an important figure of the Anhui warlords, the Zhang Mansion is likely to be a high-level lair for them, let's find a way to get in, how about it? ”

Both Shi Suo and Dafeng agreed. So the three of them agreed to be picked up by Dafeng outside, Shi Suo and Duan Laosan each found a load of dry firewood, tied a hemp rope around their waists, hung a firewood knife, dressed up as a woodcutter, picked up the firewood, and walked to Zhang's mansion.
