Chapter 18 (3) The Manjia Compound
The man frowned, waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, no, I said no, just no, three please." "Anyway, stand up, which means to chase away the guest.
Shi Suo and Dafeng had to argue again, Professor Wan made a look, pulled the two of them, said goodbye to Manchu, and said to the two young people: "It's useless to say, this guy has already closed the door, let's beg him, even if he kneels down and kowtows, it is useless, we have to think of another idea." ”
When they met the villagers of this village on the street, the three of them stepped forward and asked, this "Man Zhonghua" turned out to be the second son of Man, and then asked in detail, someone shook his head and said: "Master Man is a good person, but it's a pity that the second son of Man...... Alas," he said no more, and hurried away. Someone frowned directly and said, "I don't know." It seems that this second son of Man has a very bad humanity in the village, ignoring the public, which is diametrically opposed to his father's reputation.
Professor Wan whispered to Shi Suo and Dafeng: "We can't believe a word of the second son's words, I think, tonight, let's visit the Manchu family at night, try to find someone who knows the details, ask for an understanding, if necessary, arrest one or two people from the Manchu family, and interrogate them." ”
Both of them naturally agreed, and Shi Suo said: "In the courtyard of the Manjia family, something is very wrong, quiet, as if everyone is asleep, and what I heard from the outside is not the same." Maybe there's something else going on. ”
Professor Wan complimented: "Yes, you are becoming more and more detailed, and this time you have observed very carefully, very good." ”
"Ahem, don't praise me, as long as the people in the courtyard are not blind and their ears are not drooping, who can't see it?"

In the evening, Professor Wan and the three of them discussed the plan of "visiting Manfu at night". When night fell, the three of them quietly came to the outside of the Manjia compound, Professor Wan stayed at the corner of the street to answer, Shi Suo and Da Feng walked to a corner outside the courtyard wall in the dark, Shi Suo used a rope with hook claws, threw it up, put it on the wall, and dragged the rope to gently climb the wall.
In the courtyard, it is much more lively than during the day, you can see many rooms with lights on, many rooms, there are voices of talking, and there are noises, and there are a few people who look like family members, hurriedly walking around the courtyard. Shi Suo pulled Dafeng up to the wall, and the two of them looked around and no one paid attention, and jumped into the courtyard.
The houses in the courtyard are layered up, row by row, and they can't tell how many they enter the yard, the two are not familiar with the terrain, and they see a dwarf holly tree in front of them, planted in front of a corridor, separating the two houses, so they take a few steps and hide under the holly tree.
Shi Suo whispered, "Let's wait a while, see the opportunity and catch him." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came, the two of them shrank under the bushes, the Yonglu was two or three zhang away, through the branches, I saw three people walking along the Yonglu, the front one, the micro cat waist, did not see the arms shaking, but was tied by five flowers, one of the two people behind was holding a wooden stick, the other holding a big knife, holding this person, hurriedly walked over.
Shi Suo and Dafeng were both taken aback, and saw that the kidnapped person turned around and scolded as he walked: "Shameless villain, plot ......" Before he finished speaking, he was gagged by the person with the knife, and kicked him from behind, and the kidnapped person stumbled and almost fell.
The three of them walked along the road to the backyard, the footsteps gradually faded away, Shi Suo and Dafeng glanced at each other, they were a little inexplicable, and they didn't know what had happened in Manfu. I was wondering, only listening to a voice, from far and near.
A group of people dressed in household clothes hurriedly walked over, and these people were also carrying knives, guns, clubs and other weapons in their hands, as if they were about to set off for battle, and one of the leaders said softly: "Everyone disperse, get ready, and no movement is allowed without orders." ”
These people got the order, and they hid in the corner, under the tree, and behind the moon gate, and set up an ambush array, and one of them got into this holly bush, and the place where the stone lock and the big phoenix were hiding, less than a foot away, the breath could be heard, and the stone lock and the big phoenix were huddled under the holly tree, holding their breath and concentrating, and they didn't dare to move.
In the sky, the moon rose, the village was quiet, the autumn wind blew, the leaves were turning, Shi Suo and Dafeng were originally here to "explore the camp", but they fell into an ambush that did not know the details, and they had many questions in their hearts.
After a while, from a distance, there was a scattered sound of horses' hooves, listening to the sound, there were at least several horses, in the silent autumn night, the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear, the sound became louder and louder, obviously rushing to the family compound.
Shi Suo understood that the ambush in the courtyard was aimed at these horseback riders.
Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the compound, and a burst of noise and footsteps came from the door, accompanied by a loud conversation, and the voice of one of the people, somewhat familiar, listened carefully, it was the second son of Man who had met during the day.
"Big brother, you don't believe what I said, let's go and have a look together." The second son said.
"Okay." An unfamiliar voice said, "My father has always been strong, how could he suddenly become ill?" ”
"Ahem," suddenly, the second son coughed.
With this cough, the corner of the road, behind the house under the tree, more than ten people who had been ambushed in advance, rushed out, Shi Suo and Dafeng also quietly stretched out their heads, looked forward, only to see these ambushers wielding bright knives and guns, and pounced on a few people who had just entered the hospital, in the night, the knife in the courtyard flashed, a scream, those who had just entered the hospital were defenseless, in the face of a sudden attack, a burst of ran, the path in the courtyard was narrow, there was nowhere to retreat, the two were knocked down, the rest of the people were barehanded, plus outnumbered, but three moves and two styles, they were caught. A small ambush battle, which ended in a blink of an eye.
"Second, what are you going to do?" Among the people who were captured, the unfamiliar voice shouted angrily.
"Big brother, I'm sorry." The second son said gloomily: "Take them all." ”
With the sound of chaotic footsteps, the people who were caught and the ambushers all left in a hurry, and near the holly bushes, calm was restored, and Shi Suo and Dafeng looked at each other, and they both felt extremely surprised.
The two of them hid for a while, squatting under the tree, their backs ached, and they were just about to straighten their waists, when they heard another voice coming from the gate.
"General Ding, please." This is the voice of the second son.
Another General Ding? Shi Suo poked his head out from under the tree, looked forward, the shadow was full of shadows, saw a figure, along the crooked road, walked over, in the night, can not see the face clearly, can only distinguish the second son of Man with two or three family members, accompanied by a person in civilian clothes, to this side.
"Master Man has been okay lately." The man in civilian clothes said.
Shi Suo and Da Feng listened to the voice, couldn't help but be more surprised, I couldn't believe my ears, this voice was very familiar, it turned out to be the person with a gray scarf on the road I met, in the rainy day hut, in the mud and stone torrent, on the boat crossing the river, he has been with that group of evil men, but he is also quite enthusiastic, Shi Suo and Da Feng have a good impression of him, but, on the night when the family encountered strange changes, why did he come suddenly? Moreover, how did he become "General Ding"?
"My father has always been healthy." The second son said.
"Very good, I will discuss it with your father and son this time, and our major affairs will definitely succeed immediately." The "General Ding" said.
"Ahem," the second son coughed again.
Shi Suo heard him cough and said in his heart, "It's not good." Sure enough, with this cough, several family members who were accompanying him suddenly pounced on him and twisted "General Ding", Shi Suo could see clearly, "General Ding" was not bad, and he was not in chaos, he turned around, dodged the capture behind him, and kicked out a kick to the second son, who couldn't dodge it, and was kicked to the ground.
"Okay," Stone Lock almost screamed.
"General Ding" hit him with a blow, turned around and ran, but a family member gave up his life and pounced, hugging his calf, "General Ding" struck down with a palm, the family snorted, but they were very brave, they didn't scatter their hands, and the rest of the people rushed up and grabbed him.
"Man Er, you don't want to die." "General Ding" shouted.
The second son got up from the ground and said angrily: "Whoever doesn't want to die, you have to wait and see." With a wave of his hand, several family members carried "General Ding" and walked to the backyard. Shi Suo waited for them to walk a few feet away, quietly squeezed Dafeng's hand, and the two climbed out from under the holly tree and quietly followed.
Shi Suo was not a resourceful person, he followed these people, and he couldn't tell why, but he felt that he had a good impression of the person who was wrapped in the turban, and seeing him captured, he was moved to rescue, and subconsciously got up to follow.
Passing through a side door, entering a side courtyard, there are more than ten fruit trees growing in this courtyard, under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying, it seems more gloomy than other places, several houses, all closed doors, in front of the door, there are two people, one is holding a big knife, the other is holding a fire gun, like a sentry.
The second prince waved his head and ordered: "This person, keep a room alone and take good care." ”
Several family members opened a small ear room and escorted "General Ding" in, and Shi Suo and Dafeng, who followed behind, did not dare to enter the courtyard, but only watched secretly outside the courtyard, and waited until the second prince and others turned around and walked out, then they flashed aside and hid behind the corner of the wall next to them.
Not much effort, inside and outside this partial courtyard, it is quiet again, Shi Suo and Dafeng tiptoed out from the corner, peeking into the courtyard, two sentinels, walking Dada, occasionally chatting a few words, at this time it was already the dead of night, in the courtyard, the lights of each room, the second brother went out, the night wind blew, the leaves of the fruit trees in the courtyard, there was a soft sound.
Shi Suo looked around, the room in the courtyard, the road, the corridor, there was silence under the moonlight, he felt that the time had come, pointed to the two sentinels, signaled to Dafeng, Dafeng nodded, the two of them one after the other, suddenly rushed to the courtyard.
