XVII. Night Patrol

Zhang Zhen glanced in the direction pointed by Li Gen, and saw a black shadow moving forward slowly, feeling that it was a person.

Seeing the black shadow at this time, Zhang Zhen sighed in his heart, he was blinded. It stands to reason that this thief shouldn't have come out at this time. He should have known that everyone was on patrol at night, why did they still walk so slowly? Did I overestimate the thief's IQ, or did the thief steal from the rotation?

This happened unexpectedly, which caught Zhang Zhen off guard. The situation was urgent, and he had seen the skills of the man in black that night, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. Zhang Zhen hurriedly gave his team a gesture, and then rushed over with a few steps.

As he ran, he pointed his flashlight at the black shadow, keeping an eye on the shadow's path. But the black shadow always maintained its original speed, moving forward unhurriedly. Zhang Zhen got closer and closer to the black shadow, and he suddenly had a sense of fear. He unconsciously slowed down his pace, and dared to shout: "Stop, password!" ”

The black shadow was indeed a figure, but it was already midnight, and it was definitely not a villager. If this is not a thief, there are other unsightly things.

The dark shadow heard footsteps and scolding, and did not appear alarmed. It was completely as Zhang Zhen said, and stopped. Before he could turn around, he heard the word "fly" in the air.

The word "fly" is clear but loud, without a trace of fear. Zhang Zhen listened to the word "fly", and his head immediately made a mess? How did he know tonight's password? Could this also be an innocent person? Did Li Gen leak it out when he passed the password?

When you hear the other party's password, you also need to order it immediately. Zhang Zhen didn't have to think much about it, so he replied with the word "snow". Although the other party said the password, he still didn't dare to let down his vigilance at all! Continue to stare at the dark shadow with a flashlight, and then step closer.

But the shadow didn't move, and just stood there. Motionless, it seemed to be waiting for Zhang Zhen and them to come up and check. Zhang Zhen stopped seven or eight meters away from the black shadow, and he didn't dare to rush forward.

It wasn't until a few people from behind them came running that they walked over together.

The black shadow that Li Gen first discovered, he looked very excited, and shook it with a flashlight. As soon as he approached, he took a picture of the man's whole body.

"Old Man Sun???!!!"

"What's going on? Why are you here? ”

"Don't you know about tonight's night watch?"

"It can't be a thief's inner ghost, hurry up and tie it up!"

Several people in the Li family were incredible, and when they saw that this black shadow was Sun Laohan, they were no longer nervous, but they began to show off their strength in front of Sun Laohan one by one.

At this moment, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei were not surprised at all by the old man Sun who appeared in front of them, but they were nervous. They knew that Sun Laohan had a special skill. The six people in front of him were simply vulnerable in the hands of Sun Laohan!

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei didn't dare to act rashly and didn't speak. Seeing that several people from the Li family went up to interrogate Sun Laohan, he was thinking: Sun Laohan is a thief, and this suspicion has long been there. But now that he can give orders, he really can't say anything about tying him up like this. Catching thieves and stolen goods, Sun Laohan was empty-handed, and there was nothing left except the strange cane in his hand. They can't tie up Sun Laohan just because he walked at night.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei were a little disappointed and a little inexplicably happy. This joy comes from the fear of Sun Laohan in his heart. They knew that if they did do do it later, they would only be beaten. Since there is no way to convict, it is estimated that there will be no drama in catching the thief tonight.

Sun Laohan listened to the question of the Li family, and he was not in a hurry. coughed and said unhurriedly: "I also just came out of Zhang Zhen's house, and I have been talking to his grandfather until now." His grandfather didn't worry that Zhang Zhen was patrolling outside tonight, so he never slept. I'm not coming out until now. ”

When Zhang Zhen heard that Sun Laohan was using his grandfather to pressure him, it was really difficult to judge Sun Laohan's mind for a while. He can't act rashly, not to mention that Sun Laohan will not let him be tied up for the time being, even if he is forcibly tied up tonight, if he really chats with his grandfather tomorrow, it will be a shame.

When Zhang Zhen thought about it, he no longer thought about tying people up. He said to Sun Laohan: "Grandpa Sun, then I'll send you home first." It was such a dark day, and the road was slippery again. ”

When Sun Laohan heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Today I am not your grandfather Sun, I am your teacher." I have to teach you a trick, what is the real "catch turtle in the urn"! ”

As soon as Sun Laohan's words came out, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei, who were ready to give up the action, were taken aback. "Catching turtles in the urn" is only known to him and Zhang Lei, how does Sun Laohan know? Zhang Zhen unnaturally glanced at Zhang Lei, who was also in a cute state.

Zhang Zhen was afraid that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked again: "What did you just say?" ”

Sun Laohan pointed to the flashlight in Li Gen's hand and said, "You turn off the flashlight first." Are you making such a big move to report to the thief or to arrest the thief? ”

Li Gen had already talked a lot, and besides, he was pretending to be a tiger tonight, thinking of using Zhang Zhen's night patrol team to play prestige, and now he met an old man Sun who was old, he naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity. happened to hear Sun Laohan say such a cruel word to him just now, he was unhappy in his heart, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Dead old man, I want you to take care of it?" I'll tie you up with any more! ”

Li Gen wanted to say something else, but before he finished speaking, two crisp sounds of "pop" came from Li Gen's face.

Look at Sun Laohan again, he has already changed his state. There is no longer an old dragon clock in him. There was a glint in his eyes, and the cane he had been holding was now held horizontally in his hand, and his other hand was rubbing his fingers. looks like a commanding general.

That's right, it was Sun Laohan who slapped Li Gen twice just now. Li Gen was beaten, and Zhang Zhen, Zhang Lei, and the other three people were also stunned. They only heard the voice, and they didn't see when Sun Laohan's gesture was raised to beat people. Is this still the old man they knew before? I didn't expect Sun Laohan, who laughed on weekdays, to be so short-tempered, and beat people if he didn't agree with him.

Li Gen, who was beaten, left four finger prints on his left and right cheeks. The burning heat on his face made Li Gen react, and he didn't dare to speak even when he rubbed his face. These two slaps came a little hard, and they ended before he even knew it.

Zhang Zhen didn't speak, stood in place, waiting for Sun Laohan to explain himself.

Sun Laohan was unusually calm, squinted his eyes and said to Li Gen: "Child, be careful when you speak in the future." If you say too much, you will lose, this is what I taught you for your grandfather. You've got to take it. Remember not to shine the flashlight on people's eyes in the future! ”

Sun Laohan's whole body exuded a powerful aura, and what he said word by word was true. Everyone listened to Sun Laohan teach Li Gen a lesson, and they didn't dare to speak. Everyone turned off their flashlights, and in the darkness, Sun Laohan said to Zhang Zhen: "You have a bit of brains, but your method is too rough." If you want to 'catch a turtle in an urn', you must at least leave an opening for the turtle to come in. ”

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei always thought that the black shadow in the temple was Sun Laohan, but after meeting Sun Laohan just now. The aura emanating from his body didn't look like a sneaky thief at all. And these words just now, if he was a thief, would he still use these words? But then again, the way he saved himself in the morning was indeed the same as when he saw the black shadow in the temple. Could it be that after Sun Laohan was discovered in advance, he began to pretend to be calm?

Zhang Zhen's head was in a mess, and he didn't know what to do now. Zhang Lei looked at Sun Laohan and had an idea with Zhang Zhen. They couldn't tell for a moment whether the old man in front of them was a thief or not.

Sun Laohan seemed to have seen through Zhang Zhen's plan a long time ago, and he didn't discuss it with them. He said to Li Gen in a commanding tone: "You, go and call your group over, and then let them go to the north to patrol the night, and we will wait in this river for ten minutes before we pass." ”

Li Gen listened and unconsciously glanced at Zhang Zhen, he wanted to get Zhang Zhen's permission. Zhang Zhen didn't know Sun Laohan's intentions, since this was already the case, it was better to do what Sun Laohan said first. See what tricks Sun Laohan can play?

Zhang Zhen waved his hand to Li Gen, signaling him to listen to Sun Laohan's words and call the team in Henan. Although Li Gen, who was beaten, was on fire, but now seeing that everyone didn't dare to turn their faces with Sun Laohan, he didn't dare to do it alone, so he could only endure his anger and call the people in Henan.

Everyone didn't know why, they all seemed to be shocked by Sun Laohan's momentum, and they all acted according to Sun Laohan's arrangement. It didn't take long for Li Gen to take the people from the south side of the river to the river, and then went to the north side of the river with a brief speech.

Zhang Zhen: They are blowing the wind in the river. In the winter in the north, it was already very cold at midnight, and in the windy river on all sides, except for Zhang Zhen and Sun Laohan, as well as Zhang Lei who was wrapped in a sheepskin jacket, everyone else shivered in the wind blowing in the river.

Zhang Zhen was standing next to Sun Laohan, and he vaguely smelled a fragrance in the wind blowing in the river. This fragrance seems to be emitted by Sun Laohan, the same as the fragrance he smelled in the temple last night, but it is slightly different.

Zhang Zhen, who smelled the fragrance, was suspicious in his heart. He wasn't sure that the old man in front of him was the man in black last night, but he couldn't rule out that Sun Laohan was not the man in black. After all, all the doubts are now reflected in Sun Laohan.

After Zhang Zhen smelled the fragrance, he immediately became worried. Originally, there was a group of people on the south bank who could join forces with them. Although those people are not as powerful as Sun Laohan, they are all strong men with tigers on their backs, and they have a chance of winning if they make a move. But now they have all been separated by Sun Laohan all of a sudden, just these few people, except for Zhang Lei and himself, those people have long been suppressed by Sun Laohan's momentum.

The more Zhang Zhen thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to drag Zhang Lei who was standing next to him over. Motioning for him to follow him. Zhang Lei has done a lot of stealing chickens and dogs with Zhang Zhen since he was a child, and he has a very tacit understanding with Zhang Zhen. He immediately understood Zhang Zhen's thoughts, followed Zhang Zhen, and never left.

Sun Laohan looked up at the sky, a trace of the waning moon hung in the sky, and the wind gradually stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "It's time to do it." ”
