As they spoke, the three of them came to a beggar's gathering place in the slum shantytown, and at the same time saw the cats of various colors lying on the eaves and under the low walls.

"Wow, so many cats?" Wu Sihe looked at it in surprise.

Liu Luoqu looked at the beggars in front of him who were lying under the wall: "Look over there." ”

Tang Anshu returned to the cart and looked at the wine, food and fresh fish contained in it: "The rule is to respect the cat first, and then raise people, the order cannot be reversed, if it is reversed, the guide of the underworld will not appear." ”

After speaking, the three of them each took a bag of fresh fish and prepared to feed the cats, who knew that as soon as they turned around, they found that those cats had come to the car silently without knowing when, surrounded them, and looked at the bag in their hands with round eyes.

Tang Anshu smiled: "It seems that we don't need to feed it, let's pour out the fish." ”

Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu hurriedly poured the fish to the ground, and the cats immediately rushed up, making a "woo" sound and began to eat fresh fish.

The three people who were surrounded by cats were unable to move at this time, Wu Sihe was fine, squatting there teasing the cat, while Liu Luoqu stood there with his hands raised, frowning and looking at the cats rubbing around his legs from time to time, with a helpless face, although he thought the cats were cute, but he felt that a big man liked small animals so much, he would be laughed at.

After the fresh fish was almost taken away, Tang Anshu said: "Take the wine and food, give it to those beggars, remember, don't use alms, use the way of treats." ”

Saying that, Tang Anshu pushed the cart, came to the wall, and presented the cooked foods such as roast chicken and roast duck with both hands, and then handed over the wine bottle with both hands, and those beggars were also unceremonious, and did not thank them, took them, and ate and drank on the spot.

For a while, the whole alley was very lively, and many beggars began to sit together, drinking, punching and singing, as if there was some happy event.

When Tang Anshu was laughing and talking with those beggars, Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu took a pot of wine, stood in the corner, and talked in a low voice.

"Don't contact the Underworld through the local Brotherhood Division, not only will you never be able to get in touch, but you will also be on the blacklist of the Underworld." Liu Luoqu shook the flask in his hand.

Wu Sihe took a sip of wine and asked, "Wasn't the Dead Ear born out of the Robe Brother's Association?" How can there be such a big grudge? ”

Liu Luoqu shook his head: "It's not a grudge, it's just that they don't want to get involved in something they can't control, such as revolution." ”

Wu Sihe turned his head to look at Liu Luoqu and asked suspiciously: "Revolution? ”

Liu Luoqu said in a low voice: "Don't you know that when the revolutionary party was anti-Qing and anti-Yuan, it relied on a lot of forces in the rivers and lakes? The Pao Brothers Association is one of the larger forces, and it is rumored that the assassination of Long Ji relied only on the information that the Robe Brothers would get from the Stygian Ear, although the assassination failed, but the news leaked, saying that the Stygian Ear did it, so Guangzhou City launched a seven-day search for succession, and regarded the Stygian Ear and the Pao Brothers Association as 'party members' accomplices, as long as they were found, they could be killed on the spot. ”

"I see, so I won't cooperate with these forces that have a direct connection with politics anymore?" Wu Sihe understood, "But this is not realistic, right?" Now is a troubled time, and everything in the troubled times has to be related to the so-called politics. ”

Liu Luoqu nodded: "Yes, so, Ming'er has designed a set of his own contact methods, they don't understand politics, but they understand people's hearts." ”

Wu Sihe sighed: "The Dark Ear is really omniscient. ”

Liu Luoqu took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth: "That year, the hall master asked me to kill a second-rank senior member of the former Qing Dynasty, and that old man was hiding in a well-guarded mansion outside Hangzhou. Not to mention going in, it was difficult for me to get close, and seeing that the time was almost up, I had to find a way to contact the Dead Ear, because if I didn't complete the task on time, I would die. ”

Wu Sihe immediately asked, "And then?" ”

"I bought a message from the Underworld for ten gold bars, and then as they instructed, I sneaked into a waterway somewhere in the West Lake, and easily killed the old man in the study." Liu Luoqu smiled bitterly after speaking, "Although the task was completed, my life was saved, and the remuneration was paid, but the transaction was a loss." ”

Wu Sihe hurriedly asked: "How can you lose money?" The second-grade member of the former Qing Dynasty, his life is worth a lot of money, right? ”

Liu Luoqu looked at Wu Sihe and said word by word: "Yes, it's worth twenty gold bars, the organization takes half of it, and the remaining half is mine." ”

Wu Sihe's face changed when he heard this: "You mean, you even know how much you were paid for carrying out that assassination mission, so you asked for ten gold bars?" ”

Liu Luoqu took another sip of wine: "Yes, it's clear, so, don't underestimate the ears, their ears and eyes are all over the world, I suspect that even the wind is full of buildings with their ears and eyes." ”

Wu Sihe nodded silently after listening, exhaled cautiously, subconsciously observed the beggars eating and drinking around him, guessing who was the real guide of the underworld, and at the same time, he also felt like a fool who had been stripped naked and walked on the street.

●

At the top of the observation tower in the prison, Sun San held a telescope and looked at the seagulls that landed on the reef in the distance.

But Tie Peiwen, Huang Panshan, Zhang Dingfeng, and Sun San's adjutant Gu Feng around Sun San set their eyes on the young man next to Sun San.

The young man, dressed in a strong suit and armed belt on his upper body, was dressed very differently from the others, hanging the pistol on his left chest, the dagger hanging horizontally on his waist, and carrying a German Mauser rifle behind him.

Huang Panshan looked at the young man, and knew from the way he was dressed that although he was young, he also had a different experience from the soldiers here, at least in terms of combat experience much more than others-

The pistol was too big, and if he used a holster to hang on his waist, it would affect his movement, so he made his own holster and hung the gun diagonally on his left chest, which did not affect his movement and could quickly draw the gun.

In the same way, he hung two daggers on his waist, which also showed that they were the weapons he used in melee combat, and on his left shoulder there was a row of bulging cloth bags containing five bullets, which was convenient for shooting on the ground, and could be used to quickly replenish bullets without changing postures, although there were only five rounds, but for a sharpshooter like him, it was enough.

He put on the modified goggles on his forehead, and when shooting, he only had to flick one of the upper mechanisms to cover the left side of the goggles, making it easier for his right eye to aim.

"Samadhi!" Sun San put down his binoculars and pointed to the seagulls in the cliffs and reefs in the distance, "Ten bullets, can you shoot down ten?" ”

The young man known as Samadhi took the telescope in Sun San's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "Eleven." ”

Sun San grinned and said, "Try it? ”

Standing against the low wall of the observation tower, Samadhi aimed his Mauser rifle at a flock of seagulls in the distance, and everyone around him held their breath.

After the first bullet was fired, the sound of gunfire echoed through the mountain stream of the prison, and two seagulls nested together were shot and fell through the cracks in the rocks, while the surrounding seagulls flew up in fright.

Samadhi immediately changed his posture, and the moment he pulled the bolt to load, he observed the seagulls flying down, raised his gun and pulled the trigger again, and the second shot fell, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth.

After using up the five rounds, Samadhi had moved to the other side of the observation tower, and the rifle was reloaded.

Although Sun San's order Samadhi has not yet been executed, his marksmanship has already amazed everyone around him.

Samadhi, who had changed positions, did not shoot immediately, but stood there and observed, and waited a little longer before resuming his gun, aiming at another group of seagulls circling in the air and pulling the trigger.

After the first seagull was shot and landed, Samadhi immediately moved the muzzle of the gun down, aimed at the position of the cliff rock on the left, and waited for the seagulls to fly there to dodge, he pulled the trigger again, and after a while, four more seagulls were shot.

Then, Samadhi put away the gun, pulled the bolt, and held the Mauser rifle in both hands and presented it to Sun San.

Sun San looked at the empty gun chamber, smiled, and then took it over and looked at it carefully: "Good marksmanship, everyone, how is my Tianyan squad leader?" ”

Tie Peiwen praised: "Bo Samadhi is really like a god in marksmanship!" Admire! ”

Bo Samadhi stood there expressionlessly, not to mention the return salute, and he didn't even have a basic eye response, which made Zhang Dingfeng a little unhappy, but he could only endure it.

Sun San returned the rifle to Bo Samadhi: "What is this Mauser rifle called?" ”

As he took the rifle, he replied, "G98." ”

Sun San nodded: "Yes, yes, G98, damn, this thing was bought from a few Turkish businessmen, Lao Tzu bought a total of 20 sticks at that time, and these 20 pieces cost Lao Tzu a lot of money, but it was worth the money." ”

Huang Panshan on the side pretended to be puzzled at this time and asked: "Squad leader, I have a question, after the first five shots, why did you pause for a long time before shooting again?" ”

Bo Samadhi didn't answer, and it wasn't until Sun San nodded to him that he replied, "Report!" According to my long-term observation, the seagulls on the cliffs around Snake Heart Island are divided into five groups, and each group has a different direction of escape after being attacked, and every time the seagulls are attacked, if a certain group is attacked continuously, they will immediately flee the range of Snake Heart Island, so I will choose to attack another group of seagulls. ”

Sun San nodded with satisfaction, and Tie Peiwen asked again: "Squad leader, then when you shot the second batch of seagulls, why did you immediately know the direction of aiming at the cliff after firing a shot?" ”

Bo Samadhi frowned slightly, not wanting to explain too much: "Report! That's also based on long-term observations. ”

He had been on the observation tower for a long time, and in addition to the soldiers around him, he was accompanied by the seagulls flying all over the sky, so he knew very well the rules of flight of those seagulls and the direction in which they would avoid when they were frightened.

Tie Peiwen hugged his fists and said: "Admire." ”

Zhang Dingfeng muttered beside him at this time: "There is nothing to hide during the day, what if it is night?" ”

Everyone knows that what Zhang Dingfeng meant in his words was aimed at the failed prison robbery operation of Tang Anshu and others that night.
