Chapter 40 (2) The Red Lotus Flourishes

Sure enough, the drums have a rhythm, but in such a windy weather, no one will sing, and there is no sound such as silk, bamboo, huqin, etc., let alone a voice. The two men pricked up their ears and walked through the streets by the sound, slowly approaching the front of a tall mansion in the center of the town. The sound of the drums became clearer, and it was clear that the sound was coming from inside the courtyard.

This courtyard occupies a large piece of land, Qingtang Tile House, magnificent and magnificent, from the outside, but only two courtyards, the countryside and the city are different, often the courtyard is broad, and the building is very few. Shi Suo came to the front of the compound and was looking at it, when suddenly Dafeng pulled him and pointed forward with his hand.

On the wall of the blue brick courtyard of the courtyard, there is a figure.

The man was lying on the wall, slowly crawling towards the wall, his movements were both light and slow, Shi Suo and Dafeng both squatted down, hidden in the dark shadow in the corner of the wall, watching the man straddle the wall with his legs, and then grabbed the head of the wall and turned into the wall.

"Thief." Shi Suo said in Dafeng's ear.

"Look at it."

The two came to the wall, set up a personal ladder, Dafeng climbed the wall, looked in, the courtyard was a wide patio, empty, the main room was lit up, looking out of the window, the figure in the house was longing, reflected on the window paper, and there were bursts of drums from inside. A dark figure was crouching under the window, half-crouching, peeking in through the window.

Dafeng climbed up the wall and pulled the stone lock up, and the two saw a rope hanging from the place where the thief had just gone down the wall. And the thief has been squatting under the window, as if peeping, Shi Suo wondered in his heart, usually thieves go to the room where no one is there to steal, but this person has been lying outside the room with the lights on and the drum sounding, what is he doing?

There was a pile of firewood in the courtyard, Shi Suo and Dafeng slowly slipped down from the wall, hid behind the pyre, heard the intermittent sound of drums in the house, and the sound of talking, but because they were far away, mixed with the whirring wind, they pricked up their ears, and they couldn't hear what was said.

After a while. The drums in the house stopped, and a loud laugh came from inside the house, and the sound was heard. There are a lot of people in the house, it is by no means an ordinary family of a few people, is there a lot of people partying? Shi Suo and Dafeng were speculating wildly, when they suddenly saw the thief lurking under the window, and ran over to this side.

Both of them became nervous. Seeing that the man was like a frightened rabbit, he ran quickly to the pyre, and it seemed that he also wanted to hide here, but the pyre was less than a foot square, and he ran over, and he was bound to find Shi Suo and Dafeng.

A piece of moonlight shone on the thief who ran over, just so that Shi Suo and Dafeng saw his face, and the two found that the thief who ran over was the strong man he met in the noodle shop, and he came out to look for the "juggling class". How did you get into this compound?

There was no time to think, the strong man had already run behind the pyre, and saw Shi Suo and Dafeng at a glance, startled, so startled that he was at a loss, opened his mouth and almost shouted, Shi Suo had already wrapped his arms around his neck and covered his mouth.

The strong man was hugged by the stone lock and couldn't move, at this time. As soon as the door opened, several figures stepped out.

Only then did Shi Suo and Dafeng understand that the reason why this thief suddenly ran here was because the people in the house wanted to come out. He was afraid of being discovered, so he hurriedly fled, there was only a firewood pile in this courtyard to hide, so he panicked and went straight to the firewood, but he didn't expect to hit Shisuo and Dafeng in front of him all at once. was caught.

The few people who came out of the house, talking and laughing, went straight to a thatched toilet in the corner of the courtyard, it turned out that they were going to relieve their hands. What is strange is that these people are all wearing red headscarves, with red streamers floating behind their heads, blown by the wind, and the streamers fly wildly, this kind of dress is reminiscent of Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Army in the Qing Dynasty. But nearly 100 years have passed since the Taiping Army, are there still descendants or remnants of the party secretly gathering?

"If we kill someone at the conference tomorrow, will it alarm the government?" One of the people wearing the hijab said.

Hidden behind the pyre, Shi Suo and Dafeng are more and more surprised, killing people at the conference? Who are these weirdos? It seems that there are many mysteries hidden in this blue brick compound. They both held their breath and cowered under the pyre, while holding down the thief they had just caught tightly with their hands. Luckily, the toilet riders didn't notice the pyre.

"Huh, what can the government do?" Another voice replied: "Our land, today belongs to Lao Zhang, tomorrow belongs to Lao Wang, which military leader does not buy our account?" If there is no such way, the dignified Red Lotus Society can still set up a flag to fight the world? ”

Fight the world? The more Shi Suo and Dafeng listened, the more surprised they became, their eyes widened, what kind of ability do these people wearing red turbans have, and they want to fight the world? What is this "Red Lotus Society"?

Chatting all the way, those people entered the latrine, Shi Suo assessed the situation, these people wearing red turbans entered the latrine, they were sideways to the firewood, plus they were careless, so they didn't find the three people here, and when they came out of the latrine, they were facing the firewood at that time, and it was very easy to find the people who were hiding, and this strong man captive was not honest, if he moved a little, it would be easier to expose. Therefore, he glanced at Dafeng and decided to run away immediately.

Shi Suo let go of the strong man, the man did not shout, nor did he return fire at Shi Suo, glared at him and ran away, went straight to the wall, dragged the rope to climb up the wall, Shi Suo and Dafeng also followed him, dragging the rope feet and climbing up the wall.

As soon as the three of them landed outside the wall, they heard the sound of talking in the courtyard again, it seemed that the people who went to the toilet came out, and only one voice said: "Our Red Lotus Society, if you can become famous in one fell swoop this time, you will ...... in the future" A gust of wind whistled and blew, flying sand and stones, interrupting the speech in the courtyard.

The stone lock and Dafeng outside the wall closed their eyes and lay down on the wall to avoid the wind and dust, and the strong man did not run away, but shrank aside. After a while, the wind and sand passed, and the sound of talking in the courtyard was no longer audible, and the drums in the house never sounded again.

"What are you going to do?" Shi Suo asked the man in a low voice.

The man rolled his eyelids and whispered, "Knowingly, aren't you also here to find the Red Lotus Society?" Which hill are you from? ”

Shi Suo didn't answer him, and continued to ask, "Aren't you looking for a juggling class?" Why did you find the Red Lotus Society again? ”

"Hmph, can you handle it?" The man snorted, stared at Shi Suo, it seemed that he was caught by Shi Suo coldly just now, and he was not convinced, but with one enemy and two, after all, he was not sure, so he didn't dare to rashly make a move on Shi Suo and Dafeng, glared for a while, and said: "I'm not an enemy of you, since we are all dealing with the Red Lotus Society, when they open the incense hall tomorrow, we can cooperate." ”

"Okay." Stone Lock agreed.

"Then come here tomorrow morning." After the strong man finished speaking, he turned around and left. (To be continued.) )
