Chapter 13: Night Terror
With the light of the remaining bonfires, the three people of the small teapot who had been crawling in the dark for more than five hours, their eyesight had already adapted, and the hemp pole and Wu San, who were carrying axes, quickly passed through the open area in front of the Taoist temple, smoothly turned the corner of the wall, and touched the back of the Taoist temple.
The little teapot was not slow, bent down and sneaked to the entrance of the main gate of the broken Taoist temple, hid in the dark, vigilantly looked at the brick and wood bungalow where a group of thugs lived more than ten meters to the south, and saw that there was no movement, and immediately passed through the open door and quietly came to the door of the boss of the side hall.
The small teapot held back his breath, clenched the kitchen knife, tilted his head sideways against the door frame, pricked up his ears to listen to the movement, only felt his heart beating like a drum, his mouth was dry, and it seemed that every second of waiting was like a year.
"Click...... Twitter-"
A few faint knocks on the door came from the back hall, which frightened the little teapot hair to stand on end, and his heart stopped, although he knew that this sound came, which meant that Ma Gong and Wu San had successfully climbed into the courtyard wall and successfully opened the back door of Boss Qu, but he still couldn't suppress the strong worry and horror in his heart.
Before the little teapot could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden muffled sound in the closed door, like the sound of chopping a watermelon, and the little teapot was creepy.
The sound stopped, the door quickly opened from the inside, the heavy smell of blood came to the face, and the shortness of breath let the small teapot into the door, took out the match, and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, there are piles of things everywhere in the house, you can only light the lamp, you can't see clearly if you don't light the lamp!" ”
The little teapot came back to his senses, turned around and gently closed the door: "Then light the lamp, move quickly!" ”
The hemp pole answered, his hands trembled, and he struck four matches in a row before he struck them, carefully raised the burning matches, looked around, and soon saw the candlestick on the square table at the head of the bed.
The hemp pole took a few steps, lit the candle, the whole space was instantly bright, and the small teapot found that the hemp pole and Wu San were covered with blood, and the three body heads on the big bed were all split, and they couldn't see their true faces at all, and they could only identify men and women from the ** body covering half of the quilt.
"These two women...... Kill them all? ”
The little teapot trembled, and it was not easy to speak.
Ma Pole was speechless, consciously or unconsciously avoiding the eyes of the little teapot, obviously feeling deeply guilty.
Wu San raised his hand to wipe the blood stains on his face, and said in a low voice: "The second brother went down with an axe, and he didn't let Boss Qu die, and the second axe didn't cut down for a long time, and the eyes of the two women opened, and I couldn't care so much." Little brother, before you came in, didn't you tell me not to leave my mouth alive? ”
The little teapot didn't care about answering, endured the strong vomiting**, looked around, walked quickly to the cabinet at the end of the bed, pulled out a few neatly folded linen sheets, and handed them to Wu San:
"Quick! Follow the second child to find out the things, get the things and leave immediately! ”
As soon as he heard this, he immediately lifted the candlestick and walked inside, Wu San put away the bloody axe and followed, and the small teapot took a deep breath and followed.
After walking a few steps, Wu San touched the Eight Immortals Table on the other side when he was bypassing a few large wooden barrels, and the porcelain teapot placed on the edge of the table fell to the ground crookedly, and there was a loud breaking sound of "popping", which frightened the three people's hearts twitching and dumbfounded.
"You go look for something, I'll go out and watch!"
The little teapot was the first to react, squeezed out a sentence, turned around and ran to the door, stuck to the wall behind the door, took a few deep breaths, slowly opened half of the door panel, carefully looked at the movement outside, and quickly flashed out of the door, touched the back of the door, pulled out the kitchen knife, carefully poked out his head, and observed vigilantly through the window lattice.
Just when the little teapot's heartbeat was a little calmer, the footsteps came from outside, and the little teapot suddenly hardened all over, like a great enemy, clinging to the wall behind the door, and even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, if it was not for the footsteps to distinguish that there was only one person, I don't know what the little teapot would be scared of.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a tall and thin man came to the front of the door by means of the faint light, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before he raised his legs to come in, and carefully walked to the door of the hidden room, and stopped: "Big brother, are you okay...... Big brother, if it's okay, I'm leaving? ”
The tall and thin man said that he would not leave, as if he was suspicious, and the small teapot clinging to the wall threw out with all his might, waving a kitchen knife and slashing at the back of the man's neck.
The man was very alert, heard the strange noise, turned back suddenly, raised his arm quickly, subconsciously protected his head, but the knife of the small teapot came too fast and too fierce, the blade broke through the wind, cutting off half of the man's palm like chopping vegetables, two palm-long wide-backed kitchen knives castrated non-stop, "poof" sound, directly from the front of the man's right ear and the corner of the eye, the knife body was deeply sunk into the head and directly to the cerebral marrow, and finally was tightly clamped by the skull on the other side.
The man who was hit opened his mouth wide in vain, danced with his hands, and his uncontrollable body spun around in place a few times, and finally suddenly stood up, and then fell straight to the ground. The little teapot hurriedly stepped forward to hold on, dragged the convulsive body into the room, sat on the ground, and vomited in pain.
More than ten minutes passed, and the hemp pole and Wu San, who were carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders, finally walked out, and the hemp pole took a look at the corpse on the ground by candlelight, and picked up the retching small teapot, and hung the two heavy burdens tied together on the shoulders of the small teapot:
"Little brother, you and the third brother go first, I want to search the house, Boss Qu has already sold two big copper tripods, I am sure there is still silver in this house!" Third, you help the little brother, go quickly! ”
Wu San took the arm of the little teapot and left the room together, and when he walked out of the door, the biting cold wind hit, and the little teapot suddenly woke up, stopped, and said anxiously: "Knife...... The knife, the kitchen knife, is still on the split head, it has to be removed, and the handle cannot be left! ”
Wu San ran back to the room quickly, bent down and grabbed the handle of the knife embedded in the corpse's head and pulled it hard, but the knife cut too deeply, the head seemed to grow on the knife, and he couldn't pull it out.
Wu San didn't bother to pay attention, straightened the huge burden on his back, ran out with a knife, pulled the small teapot that couldn't stop wheezing, and fled into the bamboo forest in the west in one go.
According to the original plan, the two went all the way to the north, and finally arrived at the mass grave in the north of the city before dawn, rushed into a broken thatched hut abandoned by the filial son of the grave, and the small teapot lay down without support, and for a while he only felt that his whole body was weak, and his heart and lungs were burning like a fire, and he gasped with great difficulty, and he did not recover slightly until the sky was bright, and he was about to get up and look around, Wu San and the hemp pole had arrived in time.
Wu San grinned at the small teapot and diligently gathered the four loose burdens.
The hemp pole threw down the heavy burden on his shoulders, and immediately there was a sound of metal colliding, which was so beautiful and beautiful, and instantly dispelled the fatigue and fear of the little teapot.
Ma Pole sat down next to the small teapot and kicked the burden in front of him: "Little brother, guess how much silver you found?" ”
The little teapot looked at the dirty burden in front of him: "Three or four hundred taels, right?" ”
"Haha! At least six hundred taels, and more than three hundred pieces of Yingyang, little brother, we have made a fortune now! ”
The hemp stick gripped the arm of the little teapot tightly, excited.
The little teapot grinned: "You stop first, don't be happy too early, the matter is not finished yet, the sky is almost dawn, a few of us are covered in blood, and if we don't clean it up, I'm afraid something will happen." We first hid the antiques in the four baggage, and then went to the river to wash together, and as soon as the city gate opened, the third child and I went to the north market to find a car, and the second child continued to stay here to look at things, according to what was said before, we must move all the things back before noon. ”
"Good! Listen to you. ”
At noon, the small teapot, hemp pole and Wu San, who had unknowingly finished a big deal, returned to Liufangzhai side by side, and the fourth brother Luo Fa, who had not slept all night and was frightened, opened the door and saw the three brothers unharmed and full of spring breeze appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but have flushed his eyes, and he was very excited, grabbed this, looked at that, and was so excited that he couldn't speak, which caused the three proud brothers to laugh for a while.
Yes, proud!
Little Teapot, Ma Pole, Wu San, the three young people who are struggling at the bottom of the society and living in the market, after last night's bloody baptism, whether it is confidence or temperament, there have been huge changes, although they themselves are not aware of it, although the changes in the spiritual level are silent and indescribable, but they are indeed changing.
The little teapot took the hot tea handed by one of the little fellows who had been called by the hemp pole to help guard the house, reached out and pinched his pink face, took out a few copper plates, and stuffed them into his little hand:
"Tell your brother to go out to play, we are at home today, I don't need you to watch the house, remember to go home early for dinner."
"Thank you, big brother!"
The six-year-old was very sensible, and after bowing, he happily ran to the backyard and called his brother to the street to watch the lion and dragon dance.
After the child left, Luo Defa saw the three brothers without saying a word, sitting and drinking tea with a big grin, and finally couldn't help the eagerness in his heart: "Little brother, tell me about it!" ”
"Say what?"
The little teapot deliberately teased him, seeing his anxious appearance, everyone was happy, and the little teapot couldn't bear to embarrass the eldest brother anymore, put down the teacup and asked with a smile:
"Has my sister been here?"
"Came, came to knock on the door early in the morning, I told you what you taught me, and your sister thought you were sleeping at the second brother's house, so she went back without saying anything...... Brother, everything is going well, right? "Rodfa cares a lot.
The teapot nodded:
"God forbid, it's going well, but it's also quite dangerous, around ten o'clock, the three of us just pulled a cart of charcoal into the north gate, a team of city defense officers and soldiers came fiercely, and began to move out of the rejection of the horse card, all the people in and out of the city gate and the sedan chair, the car must be checked, and when we return to your second brother's house, after unloading the charcoal and hiding the good things, take a shower and change clothes, we heard the story of the murder in the purple bamboo forest outside the west city on the street, maybe Ding Yong of the Baojia Bureau will come to us for interrogation."
"Huh!? So what to do? Rod felt a pang of tightness in his heart.
Ma Pole smiled disdainfully:
"What to do? What do we know? The brothers hired a car to transport a cart of charcoal back in the north of the city early in the morning, but they didn't know anything except for people everywhere, what were they afraid of? ”
"This ...... Hey! yes, yes! Last night, our brothers played cards in the teahouse all night, and then the second brother's sister went back when she was sick, haha! ”
Luo Fata reacted very quickly, all the worries on his face were gone, and he was replaced by a sincere smile of relief, which caused everyone to laugh heartily.
After the big guy finished laughing, the little teapot said solemnly:
"Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the third and fourth children have to go back to reunite with their families, I won't keep you, it's not good for everyone to get together at this time. Second, you also go back, buy more meat and vegetables for a group of small people, everyone can spend the New Year with peace of mind, before the fifth day of the new year, it is best not to come to me, others such as car rental shops, including me and the second child after the year to report the household registration, have to talk about it after the fifth day of the new year, how about it? ”
The three of them thought about it for a while, and they all felt that the little teapot was reasonable, and this was the best way to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, so they all agreed with the little teapot's opinion, and left after sitting for a long time.
The small teapot sat alone for a long time, went to the counter and took out the iron lock of the door, and after going out and locking the door, Shi Shiran went to Baicui Building diagonally opposite.
As soon as the little teapot stepped into the red-lacquered door of the hidden Baicui Building, he was alarmed by the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him, and he looked back and was surprised:
More than 20 heavily armed officers and soldiers of the city defense came over under the guidance of Ding Yong of the Baojia Bureau......
