Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Night Battle
After everything was decided, the big head lay on the bed and looked through the notes left by the man, and after the fat man ate it violently, he had the energy to start tossing up the six bags of treasures stacked in the corner, and the taro buried his head and was still studying the paper, and the smoker went downstairs to get the pen and paper, and sat cross-legged on the ground to write and draw. I had nothing to do with the monkey and found a bed ready to sleep a little longer.
At this moment, Gu Cang pushed the door and walked in, glanced at the jewelry and jade that had been turned up by the fat man, shook his head and said, "Don't toss, these things will not be able to be used for a while." ”
When the fat man heard this, he was immediately disinterested, and hung his head, he had heard me introduce the situation in the city, and roughly guessed that so many jewels would not be able to be sold for a while. "What then? You can't go north to Beiping, right? ”
"Beiping?" Gu Cang raised his eyebrows: "How many of you are going to Beiping?" ”
The big head closed the note, "Well, I was entrusted to deliver a letter." ”
"You people are really active, you don't want to live and rest if you don't die, and you're going to run away again." Gu Cang turned to me, "What I said before, have you discussed it?" ”
I nodded, "We're not going to dodge." ”
"Hmm. So the next road, do you want to go together? ”
The fat man smiled, "Of course, you see our group of guys with half a bucket of water, half a life is almost gone when we enter the cemetery, and it is much safer to have a master like you to accompany you." What's more, I came here this time to find you. ”
Gu Cang smiled rarely, "In the past few days, it is best to stay in the guest house with peace of mind, and wait for the turmoil to calm down before leaving." At that time, I will go to Peking with you and see the market. ”
I turned my head to look downstairs, and I don't know when it began, the downstairs was already full of all kinds of people, at least fifty people, and the long boxes that had been closed had all been opened, revealing all kinds of knives. The night is getting dark, the yard is busy, everyone is wearing themselves with a cold face and meticulously, and then looking at Gu Cang, a black dress that he didn't notice just now, but it is so dazzling at the moment, although he has only known him for the last day, but subconsciously he regards him as a trustworthy partner, otherwise he would not have come all the way here. Now, looking at his swarthy face and talking expressionlessly, I could guess what he was going to do.
When he came back yesterday, Gu Cang said: Old man Hu only has two choices, if he gets what he wants in the ancient tomb, it is a pity for him to give up all this. But Old Man Hu didn't get the answer he wanted from us, so he must work hard for everything he had.
Gu Cang turned around and walked outside, passing me, and I asked softly, "Are you really going to do those things?" ”
His footsteps stopped for a moment, and then he walked away again, and I only heard him say, "I owe the teacher a favor, and I must pay it back." ”
That day, starting from nightfall, led by Old Man Hu, they were divided into four teams in total, all of which attacked at night. One of the teams was led by Old Man Hu himself, the second team was led by Gu Cang, and I have never seen the leaders of the third team and the fourth team. After the four teams banged on the street, they walked out of the guest house in an orderly manner, entered the main street, and spread out in four directions. The large and small open wooden boxes in the courtyard had been emptied, and the doctors who were sitting in the courtyard were neatly packed into the storeroom, and soon after those people left, about a dozen doctors came in the guest house one after another.
At the mouth of the alley of the guest house, three medium-sized trucks came, dozens of stretchers were placed in the yard, and the tables and chairs had already been moved to the warehouse.
I leaned against the railing on the third floor, and I couldn't help but admire the fact that it only took ten minutes for them to do so much complicated work, and it was as fast as a soldier. I was the only one who felt stuffy in the house and wanted to come out and take a walk, but at some point, the smoker also came out, stood next to me, and handed me a cigarette.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, if Old Man Hu loses this battle, everyone here, including us, will disappear before dawn." He smoked a cigarette with an indifferent face, and suddenly this sentence came out.
I was shocked, Fang Cai didn't think of this problem at all. "You're saying we're in danger too?"
"If I am in a hostile force and Old Man Hu comes out, I will definitely send someone to raid the base camp. This is the way of using soldiers. The smoker was thoughtful, and it was not clear where he had learned these things.
"The smoker is right." A big voice came from behind him, "Everyone had better prepare tonight, Old Man Hu is going to fight with all his strength this time, and go out with the determination to become a king or a loser, and see tonight." ”
The monkey also followed, "Then should we also do something, in case the enemy comes here in a roundabout way, we will not be caught in the urn." ”
"What are you afraid of, Old Man Hu's warehouse is so big, and you can't find a few tools to take advantage of? Taro, monkey, you two go down with me, and get some guys up, lest something really happen, and you are in a hurry with big eyes and small eyes. "The attitude of the fat man's unique game world is sometimes really enviable.
The three of them went downstairs, and I moved a few stools from the house, found a pack of cigarettes, and said, "I've slept enough anyway, so let's see how it goes." ”
When the doctors in the courtyard heard our conversation, they didn't even look at it, they stuck to their posts straight, and the three fat men went down to look for them, and they really found a long box with dozens of short knives that had not been opened, and the three of them carried it to the third floor and put it in front of us.
As soon as the fat man saw these knives, he was busy playing with them, "With these guys, at least you can hold it up for a while." ”
I glanced at it and pushed the wooden box against the wall. "Fatty, don't mess around, no one wants to really get to that point, I hope they can come back successfully."
"I call it taking precautions, and I think it's also hanging, and Old Man Hu is afraid that he has no bottom in his heart."
Time flies, and when it is late at night, there are already vehicles to send the wounded one after another, and a group of doctors come forward to check, and those who have lost their breath will be ordered to be temporarily put in the corner of the wall, and those who are rescued will be put on a stretcher for rescue.
Since late at night, time has passed little by little, and the number of wounded sent back has gradually increased from three to three or two at the beginning, and has lasted until about four o'clock in the morning, and the number of dead and wounded has reached more than 20 people, which is fully half of the number of departures.
Just when we were worried about this result and thought it was not good, the sky was gradually whitening, and the morning sun was about to rise.
The smoker was sleepy-eyed and pulled out the last one of a whole pack of eyes, "It's already dawn, Old Man Hu and they have won, let's go back and rest." ”
The five of them had already fallen asleep, so they fell straight down on the bed and fell asleep. Otherwise, I'm a curious person, and I haven't seen Gu Cang come back, and I'm worried in my heart, and I want to wait until the rest of the people come back to determine the final result.
Before five o'clock, the remaining twenty or so people returned to the guest house almost at the same time, all of them were scarred, even the clothes of Old Man Hu were dyed blood red, and then looked at Gu Cang, only to find that he was the only one who was the most seriously injured among all of them, and the deep wounds on his arms seemed to be looking at me with bared teeth, and his dark face was also turned pale due to excessive blood loss at the moment, and he walked a few steps forward, almost wanting to fall.
When the last man entered, the door of the tomb was slammed shut, and the doctors, who had stayed up all night, began their most arduous and hectic task of the night.
Gu Cang was lying on a stretcher, looking up and seeing that I was looking at him, he smiled faintly, and whispered words that I could hear clearly even in such a noisy environment, "The matter is settled, go back and rest." ”
Seeing him like this, my heart couldn't help but throb, not for myself, but for this friend I didn't know well. Looking at the injury he suffered tonight, this kind of thing must have happened many times over the years, but he didn't complain, just because he owed Old Man Hu a favor, and he had to repay it several times and dozens of times.
I can't imagine how heavy the things that such a man will carry on his body.
When I returned to my room, I lay on the bed, and I couldn't sleep for a while. Probably infected by Gu Cang's sadness, I remembered something I had always wanted to do but didn't do: write a letter to Xiu'er.
I found the pen and paper, for a while I don't know where to speak, although it is less than half a month, but this half a month has passed much more than what others have experienced in a year, I thought for a while, and finally put down the pen, the first word came out, and all kinds of messy things were written down, at the end of the letter, I told her that our group would arrive in Beiping in about seven days.
