After settling the soybeans, he bent down to the firewood, slowly knelt on his knees, and crawled towards the hole inside.

Hou Fengfeng turned back along the secret passage, and when he climbed out of the well, the old man had long been nowhere to be found, and hurried to the front yard.

The oil lamps in this hall are lit, and the old man on crutches is sitting at the table of eight immortals, savoring the freshly brewed strong tea.

"Here? Come and sit down, shall you? It's very safe in there, and most people don't go to that house, it's full of cobwebs and dust. The old man stroked his beard and nodded to the peak.

"Then thank you, uncle, I'll go out to see the other Red Turban Army brothers, just now they tried to divert the chasing officers and soldiers, but now I don't know if it's murderous or lucky, I have to go out and take a look." Hou Feng bent down to thank him, ready to turn around and leave the door.

There was a knock on the door, and as soon as Hou Feng arrived at the door, he instinctively retreated in fright and looked at the old man in the hall.

"Hahaha! Who is it? If you don't sleep so late, the officials and troops outside have exterminated bandits, and the city has been banned, aren't you afraid of being punished as a chaotic party? The white-haired old man came out on crutches and asked the knocker outside the door.

"The old man hurriedly opened the door, we are the Red Turban Army who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and our brother came to disturb just now, I hope you can help." The voice of Orion Black Mountain came from outside the door, and Hou Feng walked over quickly, opened the door and waved his hand to signal everyone to come in, poked out his head to look left and right, and closed the door again.

"Hahaha! My shabby house is quite a good customer, huh? Please all sit inside! As long as you don't dislike this poor family, I welcome it here. The old man leaned on his crutches and turned around and waved his hand to the crowd.

This Orion Black Mountain led his men into the courtyard, ordered the others to wait in the courtyard, and only brought a few cronies into the house, and everyone sat down at the table and chatted about it.

"Go and bring those beef and water wine, let's eat here tonight, wait for the third watch, and escort this Huang Shou back to the inner city." Orion Black Mountain waved his hand to the subordinates standing behind him, and said with some command.

After a while, the table of the Eight Immortals was full of wine and meat, and Hou Feng cut off the beef with a dagger, handed it to the old man and said: "I have disturbed you a lot, you have invited this meat first, and when Xicheng is rerecovered, I will definitely invite you to the county government as a guest, and then repair your house, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking in." ”

"Then thank you Jun Ye, I'm grateful! This official army reoccupies Xicheng, and from time to time they go from house to house for interrogation, and I estimate that they will arrive at my house in a few days, and you had better go into the secret passage under the well, if you are caught, then you will be in trouble. The old man took the beef with both hands and nodded in thanks.

After three rounds of drinking, Hou Feng ran to the backyard with the Red Turban Army, climbed down the well rope, and disappeared at the mouth of the well.

The old man closed the door of the hall and went into the inner room with an oil lamp, and as soon as he took off his shoes, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Who is this? Don't you still let people sleep in the middle of the night? The old man put on his shoes, took off his shirt from the bedframe, put it on his body, and carried the oil lamp to open the door of the inner room, and came into the house.

The old man looked through the crack in the door, and the knocking momentum continued unabated, and then he shook his head, opened the door of the hall, and crossed the threshold to the gate of the front yard.

"Who's out there? I've already fallen asleep, what the hell are you doing here so late? The old man came to the door and spoke through the door.

"We are the official army of the imperial court, responsible for the arrest of the Red Turban Army, in order to maintain the law and order of one side, quickly open the door to assist in the search, and when the time comes, we will clear the chaotic party as soon as possible, and return the peace of this side." There was the sound of a knife slamming the door outside the door, and the blade of the knife was inserted directly into the crack of the door, causing the old man to take two steps back.

Several officers and soldiers on the wall of this courtyard jumped down, kicked the old man away, opened the door of the front yard, and led the officers and soldiers holding torches into the courtyard.

The crowd scattered one after another, and the fat leader walked in with his hands on his hips, waved his hand at the old man on the ground and said: "The official army chased and suppressed the Red Turban Army and Cao Kou, and dared not open the door, presumably you are their internal response, come and tie him up and hang him for me!" ”

The fat leader gave his subordinates a look, and suddenly this group of subordinates rummaged everywhere, but anything that could be taken away would definitely not be left for him, and for a while, the chickens and dogs crowed, and the whole house was in a mess outside the house!

"Boss! There is a wooden door next to it, it seems that it has not been opened for a long time, and it is full of dust and cobwebs. The roe deer's men came over, bent down and clenched their fists in reciprocation.

"Really? But whenever my army on the west road passes by, snakes and rats are extinct and no grass grows, how can this be missed? Hurry up and lead the way, maybe there are some good things inside! The fat man touched his chin and followed his men with a wicked smile on his face.

Before coming to the door of the firewood room, the fat man squatted down and saw that the iron lock on it had long been rusted, and the keyhole was full of rust.

The fat man took out the steel knife at his waist, slashed towards the iron lock, and waved his hand to push open the wooden door, and a burst of dust fell from it.

The fat man coughed a few times, waved his hand and motioned for his men to follow in, the room was full of tattered tables and stools, or dense cobwebs of dust.

"Give me a careful search, don't leave anything that can be used, this guy is Diao Min, so many wine bowls of beef on the table, it must be collusion with the Red Turban Army, otherwise ordinary people don't talk about eating beef, it's just white rice, it's a luxury." The fat man waved his right hand, and everyone looked around to find it.

The fat man leader came to the wooden bed, touched the straw and still had body temperature, but the soybeans sleeping on it had long been missing.

After the officers and soldiers ransacked the courtyard, they withdrew from the gate of the courtyard with their things, and the fat man waved his right hand, and everyone returned to the camp with torches.

"Oooh! So that's the case? After listening to Hou Fengfeng's words, Huang Dou remembered the old man in the front yard at this moment, and everyone followed him and ran over.

The gate of the front yard was wide open, and the officers and soldiers had long since disappeared, and the old man fell to the ground with his hands tied behind his back, and blood splattered on the ground.

"He seems to be injured, hurry over to save people, these damn officers and soldiers, even the white-haired old man will not let go." With a wave of his right hand, Soybean ran towards the old man on the ground.

Huang Dou helped the old man up and untied the rope that tied him back, only to find that blood was constantly gushing out of the old man's abdomen, and most of his clothes were already soaked.

"Bang bang bang" Another rapid knock on the door came, and everyone looked at each other, and suddenly cold sweat dripped down again and again......
