CHAPTER IX
1
The assassination of Du Laosan was actually a very reckless thing, but it was a masterpiece of mine. Every time I think about it, I feel that there is nothing in this world that cannot be done. Because Du Laosan's traitors have seen Song Qigui and them, if they go to Tucheng with me to kill Du Laosan, the goal is too big, maybe they will be eliminated before they meet Du Laosan. So, I decided to go to Tucheng alone. Song Qigui disagreed with my bold idea, he said it was too dangerous. I sneered, what are you doing these years are not dangerous, Lao Tzu has been walking in the world with his head! Ignoring their obstructions, I went down the mountain with my bare hands on a star-studded night.
2
The next morning, I hid in a ditch not far from the gate of Tucheng and observed the situation on the other side of the gate. I could smell the grass, but the sweet smell of grass was quickly replaced by the smell of blood, and the mere thought of killing would emanate from the pores of my body and permeate the space in front of me. There are a few devils and puppet soldiers standing guard outside the city gate, and they are very strict about people entering and leaving, and I am afraid it will be very difficult for me to get in.
If I can't even enter the city gate, how can I kill Du Laosan?
I'm very anxious, what should I do?
Just when I was in a hurry, I saw a man pushing a wheelbarrow out of the city gate, and the devils and puppet soldiers guarding the city gate let him out of the city without asking anything. As soon as my eyes lit up, I had an idea. When the dung truck was out of town, I quietly followed. In a remote location, the man opened the lid of the sealed dung bucket on the wheelbarrow and emptied the dung from the bucket into the field.
When I appeared in front of the man, the man was startled, maybe my pockmarked face looked very ugly, or maybe there was some other reason.
I said to him, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. β
The man was very nervous and wary of me: "Do all the bad guys have the word bad on their faces?" I'm far from you, and you're not enmity, don't-"
I said, "Don't be nervous, I really won't hurt you." β
The man said, "In these days, there have been many soldiers, and everyone has them, and who knows you-"
I said, "Let me tell you, I have come down from the mountains, and I ask you to help me into the city, and I will not touch a single hair of you." β
As soon as the man heard that I had come down from the mountain, his face immediately changed, and he stammered when he spoke: "I ...... I'm just a manure deliverer, what's the matter...... How can I help you get into the city! You, you spare me, find someone elseβ"
I pulled down my face: "Tell you, I'll find you today, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it if you don't do it, otherwise-"
The man's legs trembled: "I ...... I'm really ...... I can't help youβ"
I said coldly, "You can!" I'm hiding in a dung bucket, you cover the dung bucket and push me into the city, it's not done! β
The man trembled and said, "This ...... If they find out, they will be killed! β
I said, "If you are afraid that the devil will kill your head, are you not afraid that I will kill you?" β
The man was speechless and looked at me in horror.
I then said, "Are you going to do it?" β
There was murder in my voice. The man had no choice but to nod. I could tell he was still very nervous and scared. I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't take care of it anymore, so I got into the big dung bucket, and when he closed the lid of the dung bucket, I said to him: "Don't be nervous, you can walk as you normally go, if you show a flaw, I will die, and you will die too!" β
He trembled and said, "I understand, I understand!" β
The dung bucket was just hiding my body, I curled up in the dung bucket, the unpleasant and pungent stench made my stomach tumble, I resisted not to vomit out, gritted my teeth and said to myself, "You are the one who crawled out of the pile of dead people, what is the smell of this feces!" β
I couldn't see the man's face when he entered the gate, and I was sweating in my heart. I think if something goes wrong, I'll fight with the devil! The man had made his way into the city and let me out in a lonely alley, and I saw him sweating profusely and his face pale. I didn't have time to say a word of thanks, so he pushed the dung cart and left in a panic.

Who is Du Laosan?
After entering Tucheng, this question was placed in front of me. I must confirm Du Laosan in the shortest possible time, and then find out where he haunts and wait for an opportunity to attack. I wandered around the streets of Tucheng as if nothing had happened. I think that such a notorious person in Tucheng, I am afraid that there will be no people who know him. I saw a blacksmith shop, and a wave of heat surged through my heart, and I naturally remembered the blacksmith shop in Changling Town.
I walked in.
A middle-aged man with a dark face said to me, "Guest officer, what do you want to buy?" β
I said, "Is there a knife?" β
The middle-aged man smiled: "What knife?" β
I said, "What knife do you have?" β
The middle-aged man said: "We only have kitchen knives, and other knives don't." β
I said, "Oh-"
I was talking to the middle-aged man and glancing down the street. At this moment, several men in black clothes and black hats rode slowly past the door of the blacksmith shop on bicycles, all of them carrying box guns on their bodies, and the man who hit the head had a fleshy face and a scar on the left side of his face.
After they passed, the middle-aged man spat on their backs and muttered something. The middle-aged man's actions proved that he was bored and dissatisfied with those people. I asked, "Who are those people?" The middle-aged man stared at my face for a while and said, "You are a foreigner, right, don't you even know these people?" I nodded. The middle-aged man said: "Then you have to be careful, don't let them find out that you are a foreigner, they are very close, these people are Japanese doglegs, and the scarface in the lead is Du Laosan, the captain of the devil spy team." I said, "Thank you, I'll be careful." The middle-aged man said, "Do you still buy knives?" I nodded. The middle-aged man said: "But we are only allowed to sell kitchen knives here, and other knives are not allowed to be sold, do you want kitchen knives?" I said, "Yes!" The middle-aged man said: "I have one more mouth, I look like you are a passerby, what are you buying a kitchen knife for?" I said, "Kill the dog!" The middle-aged man laughed: "A kitchen knife can also kill a dog?" I said firmly, "Yes!" The middle-aged man said boldly: "I see that you are not an ordinary person, I will send you a kitchen knife, no money!" I took a kitchen knife and said, "Thank you!" The middle-aged man looked at me mysteriously: "Be careful, there are many dogs!" I nodded, tucked the kitchen knife on the waistband of my trousers, covered it with my clothes, and walked out of the door of the blacksmith shop.
I remembered what Du Laosan looked like.
Through reconnaissance, I was able to figure out some crucial situations.
For example, Du Laosan always likes to go to the kiln called "Yingchun Courtyard" to spend the night, where there is a prostitute named Qiu Xiang who is his old friend; For example, when Du Laosan spent the night in the Spring Courtyard, he only took two of his subordinates to guard the door; For example, behind the Spring Festival Courtyard is the house of Xu Chuanbiao, the commander of the pseudo-army; For example, Du Laosan and Xu Chuanbiao are at odds, Du Laosan is a hardcore traitor, but Xu Chuanbiao is not as arrogant as Du Laosan, and sometimes he disobeys the devil......
4
That night, I was a prostitute with a sharp kitchen knife tucked away at my waist.
I watched Du Laosan enter an upstairs room, and I opened a room with a prostitute in a room next to him. I've never been in a place like this, and it's a bit restrictive. After entering the room, I heard the sound of a woman laughing in the room next to me, because the room was separated by a wooden plank, and the laughter and Du Laosan's foul language were very clear. The prostitute who accompanied me came up and was about to untie my trouser belt, I was immediately very nervous, I was a waste, I couldn't let this prostitute find out that I was a waste, let a prostitute laugh at me, I would go crazy! I chose an awkward place to kill, which I didn't expect. The prostitute's hand touched the kitchen knife on my waist, and the hand retracted, maybe she had never seen a man with a kitchen knife to prostitute herself, she looked at me in surprise, and wanted to say something, I quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "Don't talk, lie down on the bed honestly for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will destroy you!" She was frightened and lay motionless on the bed.
My ears pricked up, listening intently to the sounds coming from the next room.
That voice made me angry, made me feel inferior, and made me want to kill Du Laosan's dog-day traitor right away.
I don't know how long it took, but the voices in the next room fell silent.
After a while, I heard Du Laosan's snoring.
My chance has come!
I saw my own distorted, ugly face and blood-red eyes in the dressing mirror in my room. I took out a piece of ocean from my pocket, put it on the prostitute's breast, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Stinky **, you listen to Lao Tzu, tonight, you don't see anything, you don't know anything, don't say anything, otherwise, you will die an ugly death!" β
The prostitute nodded in horror.
I came to the window, gently pushed open a crack, and looked outside, and there was a fence outside that was Xu Chuanbiao's house, and Xu Chuanbiao's house was quiet. I felt that there was nothing wrong, so I climbed out of the window, climbed against the wall to the window of the next room, and tentatively knocked on the window lattice, but there was no reaction inside, Du Laosan and Qiu Xiang must have fallen asleep. I slightly opened the window door and climbed in.
The room was pitch black, and I remembered the scene of killing Liu Monkey in the Liu family's mansion in Changling Town a long time ago. I can't see clearly where Du Laosan and the bed they slept in. I did the same and made a noise, and sure enough, someone turned over on the bed, and then said: "Third child, wake up, it seems that someone has entered the room!" "That's Akika's voice. Du Laosan slept very deeply, like a dead pig. Qiu Xiang said again: "Third child, wake up, there seems to be someone in the room, you get up and take a look!" At this time, I heard Du Laosan's impatient voice: "Don't make noise, how can there be anyone!" Who eats a leopard dares to come to our room, and there are still our people watching outside! Qiu Xiang said in a coquettish voice: "Third child, you better get up and take a look, I'm afraid!" Du Laosan scolded: "Damn, what are you afraid of!" β
I could tell exactly where they were by the sound of my voice, so I pulled a kitchen knife from my waist and gently touched them. Before I could touch the bed, I heard the sound of someone getting out of bed, and then a match was struck, and the man lit an oil lamp. I could see it very clearly, it was Du Laosan who was naked, and I remembered the scar on his face once I saw it.
When it was too late, I jumped up like a leopard, pounced on Du Laosan, waved a kitchen knife, and slashed at his head. I thought that the knife that had accumulated my infinite strength could completely split his head, but I didn't expect this bastard's head to dodge, and instinctively reached out to block it, and my knife cut off his arm in unison.
I heard Du Laosan's screams like killing pigs.
I also heard Akika's frightened screams!
"Someoneβ"
Du Laosan shouted loudly and fled to the door.
At that moment, I forgot myself, forgot everything, and had only one wish, to chop Du Laosan to death as fast as possible. I ran after him and slashed him in the head and in the shoulder. At this point, the people outside were shouting and kicking the door, because the door of the room was tied backwards, which bought me time. I threw Du Laosan to the ground, the knee of my left leg was pressed against his chest, and the kitchen knife in my hand fell fiercely on his head and neck, and blood and flesh were splashed!
I was sure that after hacking him to death, I also slashed him twice in the lower body, and at that moment I was very dark and cruel!
Then I ran towards the window, when the door slammed open and I jumped out of the window in desperation. There was a gunshot behind me, bullets whizzing past my ears, and I didn't know if I had been hit by a bullet fired by Du Laosan's men, so I jumped over the fence and entered Xu Chuanbiao's house.

When I killed Du Laosan, I stabbed over a beenet's nest.
Tucheng fried the pot. The devils and the special forces rushed over from all directions and surrounded Xu Chuanbiao's house. Xu Chuanbiao's house was also blown up, and those puppet soldiers were scurrying around inside.
I took advantage of the chaos to get a puppet soldier into a small room with miscellaneous items, knocked him unconscious, and changed into his clothes. I mingled in the chaos of the puppet army and tried to escape, but I found that it was simply impossible, and I couldn't escape. I'll have to find a way to hide, if the devil's brigade rushes in, I'll have nowhere to hide, where is the safest place?
I had an idea, and suddenly said loudly: "Something happened in the second aunt's roomβ"
A few puppet soldiers ran to the backyard, and I followed. When they arrived at the door of the second aunt's room, someone said, "Second wife, are you okay?" β
A man's voice came from inside: "Who's yelling outside?" β
The door opened, and it was Xu Chuanbiao who walked out, he said, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" β
A puppet soldier said: "Report to the head of the regiment, Du Laosan was killed in the Yingchun Courtyard, and his subordinates said that the murderer came to us, and Du Laosan's subordinates outside the gate will come in to search, and the deputy of the Wang Tuan will lead people to reason with them there!" β
Xu Chuanbiao let out an "ah", then held the gun and said, "Let's go, follow me to the gate and have a look!" β
I stayed secretly, and when I saw them go to the front yard, I opened the door of my second aunt's room and went inside. This second aunt is really not simple, there has been a lot of trouble outside, she is still sleeping with her face facing in, and there is a light in the room.
When I entered the room, she didn't even notice.
I was standing in my second aunt's room and smelled a strange smell, the smell of fat powder mixed with the smell of tobacco and the smell of a woman's body. I've never smelled anything like it, not in the Spring Courtyard. I had a psychedelic feeling in my mind, but that feeling disappeared in an instant. I'm thinking about how to escape now! Where is my hiding place in this room, to get under my second aunt's bed? No, if they bring someone in and search and shine a flashlight under the bed, I'll be spotted and the guns will fire at me and the bullets will drill at me. In any case, I still think that the second aunt's room is the safest place.
The devil has entered the backyard, and I heard the devil's wah-wah-wah-wah-wah.
I suddenly got into a hurry and got into the bed of my second aunt. I can say that it was the warmest and softest quilt I've ever had in my life. I got into the quilt and touched the second aunt, the second aunt seemed to wake up from her sleep, she turned over, a tender hand on my chest, touched it gently, and suddenly sat up: "Who are you?" β
I covered her mouth with my hand and whispered, "Don't speak, you will die if you speak!" β
Her eyes were horrified.
At this moment, there was a stray sound of footsteps outside the room.
The second aunt said softly: "It's not a matter for you to hide in my bed, if they come in, they will find out." β
I also whispered, "The devils in your room dare to come in too?" β
The second aunt said, "Why don't you dare! What kind of hero do you think Xu Chuanbiao is, he is a bad breed, and the Japanese devil is his father! β
There was a devil's voice outside the door, and a person said in Chinese: "Head Xu, Taijun wants to enter the second aunt's room to search!" β
Xu Chuanbiao said: "I just came out of it, and the second aunt is too alone inside, and it is impossible for the murderer to hide inside, let's search somewhere else!" β
The man said something to the devil again.
The second aunt said, "It's going to be bad!" β
With that, she got out of bed and got under the bed, and soon, she stuck her head out from under the bed: "Come down!" β
I hesitated.
The second aunt was too anxious: "You hurry down, otherwise you won't be in a hurry, I won't harm you, I also hate Japanese devils!" β
Listening to her, I got under the bed.
I didn't think there was a hole under the bed.
The second aunt said, "Go down!" It's too late, Xu Chuanbiao can't stand it outside, and the devil is about to come in! β
I couldn't do any more, and jumped down to the dark hole, and I landed on a pile of soft straw and smelled the scent of dried straw. The hole closed, and I heard the creaking of the bed, which must have been the sound of the second aunt in her panic when she returned to the bed.
After a while, the door was kicked open by the devil.
The second aunt's too calm and delicate voice sounded: "Biao, what's going on, in the middle of the night, bring so many people in?" β
Xu Chuanbiao said angrily: "Look, look, is there anyone else in this room? If the killer comes in, will the second aunt still be able to speak peacefully? β
The sound of stray footsteps rang out in the room.
The second aunt screamed and said, "I haven't got my clothes on yet, why are you lifting my quilt?" Could it be that I can't hide someone in the nest! I'm not ashamed anymore, I'll lift it myself! You get it, right? See, what about people? Who do you want? Xu Chuanbiao, you useless thing, you don't care if your wife is bullied! What kind of man are you! β
Xu Chuanbiao slapped the second aunt in the face and scolded: "Slut, I'll let you talk nonsense!" β
The second aunt suddenly screamed and grabbed the ground: "My life is so bitter, my life is so bitter, I used to be bullied in the theater troupe, but I didn't expect to get married, and my own man brought outsiders to bully me, humiliating me, I don't live anymoreββ"
The devil screamed wow-wow-wow.
The translator said to Xu Chuanbiao: "Let's go, go to another room to search, Taijun said, don't let the murderer escape!" β
Footsteps scrambled out of the room.
I fell on the straw and let out a long breath.

Xu Chuanbiao's second aunt saved my life. The second aunt is a scheming woman, she knows how to protect herself in this chaotic time, so she dug a cellar under her bed, and this cellar didn't even know Xu Chuanbiao. After I had been in the cellar for a few days, my second aunt had managed to get me out of town. In the days when I hid in the cellar, the second aunt brought me delicious food and drink, and every night Xu Chuanbiao came to the room, and the second aunt made trouble with him. Xu Chuanbiao was also helpless and walked away.
I spent a few days in the cellar in peace and fear, and when I returned to the mountains, when Song Qigui saw me, he said that my face had turned white. That night, Song Qigui was very drunk, and after getting drunk, he cried inexplicably and said sorry to me.
I asked him why he was sorry for me, and he wouldn't say anything.
Could it be that he is hiding something in his heart?
