38. Fierce battle on a rainy night. Fighting is king
The cry is desolate and sad, containing endless grievances, one after another, sharp and piercing, which makes people's hearts chill.
"Female ...... Female ghosts! Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his face turned white, and he looked around in horror. The other people in the hall were not much better, and the few people who were still speaking hard just now did not dare to come out, holding weapons tightly in their hands, and gathered together to look at the doors and windows of the hall.
There was another sharp scream, a wail like a person dying, which made Liu Meng's brain tense when he heard it. At this time, the two pots of flowers and plants at the door of the hall suddenly rattled, and a cold wind blew in, and the two candles near the window flickered a few times and then went out. After that, as if it was a chain reaction, the candlelight on the side of the position was extinguished one after another, except for the three candlesticks in the middle of the hall, a half of white ash was still burning, but the candle flame was swaying and would be extinguished at any time.
How can such a large living room be illuminated by this faint candlelight? For a while, the hall was dark, and the wind and rain outside were even more urgent, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard were swaying wildly by the wind, as if a big hand was pulling, and the sound was like a demon exhaling.
What a terrifying atmosphere. Although he knew that it was the women of the Zhuang family who were playing tricks, Liu Meng was also frightened, and Wei Xiaobao hugged his head tightly with both hands, and his whole body trembled.
The white-haired old man also had a nervous face, and instructed everyone to quickly disassemble the tables and chairs, light a few more torches for lighting, and then use the internal force, and said loudly outside: "We passed by your place, came to shelter from the rain, and there were many wrongs in trespassing on the treasure house, and I hereby apologize." Let's just wait for the rain to stop, and leave immediately, and hope that the host will not blame! ”
This white-haired old man has good skills, and his words are full of qi and spread far away, and everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the outside to respond.
For a long time, the sad female voice outside was no longer sounding, and the squeaking movement everywhere also calmed down, and even the wind and rain seemed to be much less.
Seeing that it was really effective, a man asked everyone's thoughts in a dry voice: "Third Master Zhang, you said that this is really ...... Ghosts? Speaking of the word ghost, the man swallowed his saliva before continuing to say it, obviously afraid.
The white-haired old man shook his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, we have important things to do, just take shelter from the rain." ”
A man stepped forward, moved a chair that was still intact, and sent it to the white-haired old man Zhang Sanye to sit down, and someone offered a wine gourd, Zhang Sanye pulled out the stopper and took a sip, exhaling a mouthful of white air. Then he squinted at the two teenagers who were cowering in the corner of the hall door, and suddenly asked, "Where are the two little brothers?" Why don't you even bring an entourage, so that your family can rest assured? ”
Liu Meng raised his head and smiled: "We are a family on the edge of the capital, we came out to play and got separated from the servants, and we will go back when the morning dawns, thank you for worrying about the old man." ”
Zhang Sanye let out an "oh", looked at Wei Xiaobao, who was still cowering there, and asked, "Since it is the family of the root of the imperial city, I don't know that the little eunuch can be seen on the way?" About fourteen or fifteen years old, he went from east to west. ”
Good guys, I'm already suspicious of our brothers. Liu Meng still had a warm smile on his face, and said: "The old man asked a strange question, there are more little eunuchs in the capital, and I won't meet a few one day, but there will be no more on the road, the Qing Dynasty has rules, and the eunuchs who leave Beijing without permission are to be killed." ”
Handing the wine gourd in his hand to others, the white-haired old man Zhang Sanye laughed a few times and said: "I heard that this little eunuch has no other skills, he is cunning and clever, and he is best at pointing out black and saying white and reversing right and wrong, I look very similar to this little brother." After speaking, he looked at Wei Xiaobao with bad intentions, and several men slowly forced him up.
Liu Meng turned his arm and gently pinched Wei Xiaobao to remind him to pay attention, but he said: "Since the old man looks like him, he might as well come over and check his body, the eunuch is not as strong as our brothers." ”
"Yo! The kid has a slippery mouth. A man who came around saw that Liu Meng's mouth was unforgiving, and immediately walked up a few steps, rolling up his sleeves, to teach this flamboyant boy a lesson.
There are a total of sixteen people on the other side, and there is only one master, Zhang Sanye, and the others are almost the same as ordinary Qing court guards, as long as they don't let the other party form a strange formation and fight in this dim environment, their chances of winning are almost 100%.
In an instant, Liu Meng decided to strike first, stretched out his hand to push Wei Xiaobao behind him, and said in a low voice: "Go out and run to the right room." At the same time, he leaned forward, deliberately groaning, and when the man leaned down to check, the long sword was already out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed, and the tip of the sword was like a poisonous snake probing whisker slashing through its throat, and blood sprang out in a hurry.
Without waiting for the man in front of him to fall, Liu Meng beckoned the donkey to roll again, and stood up in front of another man, and the long sword pinned behind the shoulder with his backhand was violently bright, and a sword stabbed out, and the wind returned to the lightning! stabbed the man in the heart.
Seeing that the other party suddenly got up and sneaked attack, in the blink of an eye, two of his brothers were hit, and the others were in an uproar, drawing knives and carrying guns, shouting and rushing together. The white-haired old man Zhang Sanye yelled angrily: "Take it all down for me, and then discount your hands and feet first!" ”
Wei Xiaobao's escape kung fu is the most clever, as soon as Liu Meng reminded him, he was ready to escape, and when Liu Meng made a move, he immediately rushed out, ran out of the hall in a few steps, regardless of the rain outside, covered his head with both hands, and went into the right room along the courtyard.
Seeing that Wei Xiaobao successfully escaped according to his orders, and also attracted two enemies, Liu Meng made up his mind, and immediately did the same, and also rushed out of the hall door, connecting the dots on his toes, like a spirit monkey jumping onto the top of the corridor, turning around the pillars, just in front of a person who chased out. This person was originally the closest, and after chasing him out with a waist knife in his hand, he disappeared in front of him, and was puzzled, when he suddenly saw a flash of light behind the pillar above his head, and the heavenly spirit cover had been pierced by a sword.
With a sword to finish one, Liu Meng did not hesitate, turned around and jumped down, ignoring the few people who followed him, and launched eight steps to catch the cicadas, and rushed into the left wing room in a few vertical jumps.
With the faint light, after a little look, he saw that the window was in the right position, and Liu Meng ran to the window in a few steps, and then carried a small vase in his hand, and when those people rushed to the door of the wing, they slammed it over, and then quickly flashed and jumped out from the window.
There were about four or five people chasing Liu Meng, and the others were standing at the door of the hall with Zhang Sanye in their arms, pointing at both sides, thinking that they were assigning tasks. When the first to rush into the chamber were two men with knives, they were shadowed by the vase, and when they dodged, their figures paused, blocking the few people behind. Standing at the end is a man with a spear, because it is a long weapon, it seems that he does not intend to rush into the room, and should be responsible for the role of a support place.
The man with the spear in his hand suddenly heard the shouts of his accomplices behind him, and turned in surprise, only to see the chasing boy jumping out of the window, and rushing towards him with his sword like a predatory beast. couldn't help but be shocked, reluctantly raised the spear, and stabbed at the other party. In a narrow environment, it is especially difficult to turn around with a long weapon, and this man is easily flashed in front of him, only to feel a cold and numb stomach and abdomen, followed by colic like a broken intestine.
Kill another one, Liu Meng casually made a move to the golden goose in the air, separated the door of the man turned around and slashed back, and then spread his body again, rushed to the middle of the courtyard, and used all his strength to catch the cicadas, quickly swept through the rain, and chased towards the right side of the room that Wei Xiaobao had just entered.
