47. The Gentlemen's Agreement (Part II)
Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng had no plan, and they were caught by Di Jinyan with a net. Like two fishermen caught in the net, they cannot escape if they fall into the net. I was ashamed, and my face suddenly became cloudy.
Originally, I thought that relying on the old and selling the old, the seamless trick was beyond the imagination of other human beings. I once thought that the two of them had just drilled out of the dog hole at the root of the broken wall, as if they had fallen into the hell of life and death and sorrow, boundless, and the picture of pathos was rushing everywhere.
The thieves carried Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng in front of Di Jinyan like carrying baskets and fishing. Di Jinyan first circled around the two of them, and then smiled leisurely.
"Aha, I thought the brothers had picked up something good? It's the two of you. Li Mutou, old man Dong, why are you caught in a net like a fisherman? Doesn't look comfortable? I told you a long time ago. How can these so-called crooked ways of your grandfather and your two be able to deal with our brothers? Isn't that self-inflicted? ”
At this time, Li Qiusheng was caught in a net, bent like a fisherman who couldn't move, and shouted with his mouth open. "Lady thief, don't be complacent, this is just a trick for the master and the old man to try your brother. It's not unusual to be caught by you, anyway, we still have time to play slowly, what are you afraid of? The old man still has a lot of means, so you just wait to be taught. ”
"Really? Why can't I feel it? On the contrary, I think you two are poor in donkey skills, what tricks can you play? Di Jinyan looked at Li Qiusheng's lame appearance proudly and smiled, the posture that a winner should have was self-evident and overflowing.
Old Man Dong was like a defeated rooster, hanging in his pocket without saying a word, his eyes glazed. Hearing Di Jinyan's words, she was even more blushing. He twisted his body as much as he could, bumped into Li Qiusheng slightly, and said faintly. "Boy, those who have failed are not allowed to say much, and they will be insulted by their words. If you have the ability to save it for the next time you escape, it's not too late for you to say big things. ”
"Old man, old man, don't you have anything to say now? I, Di Jinyan, are waiting for you to panic. Di Jinyan arrogantly crossed to Old Man Dong and smiled, as if she herself was a frolicking and innocent little woman, greedy for joy.
Old Man Dong frowned and replied with a bitter face. "Golden Woman, the old man doesn't dare to say anything if he misses you. Can a person who has lost a record still be brave? Isn't that self-inflicted? So it's better for the old man to be free from his mouth now. The facts are the best proof of the results, my old man is outdated. ”
"Ouch, the old man's heroic sword is not old, so he can admit defeat so easily. If this were the result, the old man would not have staged that drama yesterday. The little woman is still a little self-aware, it must be that the old man has another idea in his heart. However, the little woman is very curious, and she must be waiting for Old Man Dong's tricks. Di Jinyan said happily again, it seemed that she was thinking about having a trick with the old man.
"Okay, the thief woman, you first order someone to remove the fishing nets from us. Old Man Dong and I won't pester you, go back to the bedroom first, and then fight with you when we have enough energy, so that you can really think that our grandfather and grandson don't have some top-secret means, so that you can underestimate it. At this time, Li Qiusheng put on his deflated appearance and said mockingly. In private, I really hope that I can get out of the scene of being ridiculed by this thief woman in every way.
Di Jinyan seemed to see through Li Qiusheng's bitter mood at this time, and she smiled happily. "Li Mutou, it's uncomfortable. Please, this time! Well, it's okay, let's let you two go back to the room first, I, Di Jinyan, really want to wait for another competition with the two of you. After that, he glanced at the old man Dong and Li Qiusheng who were still in the fishing net, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Come on, let the two of them go, send them back to the previous room, and serve them well." ”
Several leading thieves next to him shouted in unison, and immediately a few thieves pounced on them, and stripped off the fishing nets on Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng with three strokes and five divisions.
Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng were free for a while, and immediately broke their almost numb hands and feet, and saluted Di Jinyan and thanked him. "Thank you to the Golden Woman, don't punish the grace. Old man Dong, Li Qiusheng is toothless and unforgettable. ”
"Okay, you both go back to your room. The time we agreed on hasn't come yet, I'm waiting to compete with you Old Man Dong again. Di Jinyan waved her hand and saluted, and looked at the two of them coldly, as if she was concerned.
After Li Qiusheng helped Old Man Dong to return without care, all the thieves immediately dispersed, and the lobby returned to its former calm.
After everyone left, Di Jinyan was still sitting alone on the master's chair in the lobby, her eyes were slightly rippling, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in her heart.
In the dilapidated bedroom, Old Man Dong said listlessly, "Boy, we are embarrassed this time." When has the old man suffered such a loss? With a self-deprecating sarcasm, he said, "It seems that we must be the turtles in the urn, looking at this posture, we can't escape the Golden Woman's Skynet even if we have wings." Boy, let's not think about anything, just accept our fate, it's better to survive with the blessing of the Golden Woman, than to flee day and night. ”
"Hmph, old man, is this what you should say? Why does it sound so harsh. Li Qiusheng suddenly snorted angrily, and made an extremely exaggerated gesture of contempt in front of Old Man Dong.
"Boy, since you don't accept your fate, then tell me what better way to escape? This time, my old man will listen to you all. Old Man Dong still asked with little confidence, his eyes had already closed slightly and he was dozing.
Li Qiusheng smiled and said, "Old man, of course I have it." But now the most important thing for us is to eat, play and sleep well, so that it doesn't matter how many days there are left in the gambling game. Don't forget the old proverb that 'the water reaches the bow of the boat, and there is a road before the car reaches the mountain'. ”
Old Man Dong suddenly sneered, and was suddenly speechless. As soon as he picked up the tea in his hand and drank it all, he spread his feet on all fours, and then lay straight on the bed and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Li Qiusheng shook his feet suddenly, his shoes flew off, and his whole body flew towards the bed.
The cold winter night came very early, and when Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong were woken up from their deep sleep, the night was already dark.
The two thieves who came in to serve Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong to eat and wash were still the two thieves who were tall, short, fat and thin.
At this time, the two thieves from before stood in front of Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng in panic as if they had done something extremely uneasy, at a loss for a moment, panicked.
Old Man Dong looked at the two thieves indifferently as if he was familiar with nothing, walked to the table, sat down dejectedly, and turned around and shouted. "Boy, let's eat." Then he picked up the rice bowl as if no one was around, and chewed it briskly.
Li Qiusheng seemed to be playing a double reed play with Mr. Dong, got up from the bed with an 'um', sat down directly at the dinner table, grabbed the dishes and chopsticks and ate them along his mouth.
The two of them gobbled up for a while, and after they were full of wine and food, Old Man Dong slowly glanced at lazy energy and said.
"Brother, can you take our grandfather and grandson to the kitchen for a walk, we have to wash the dirt of this body. Otherwise, it stinks, and even you two brothers will dislike it. ”
The thin thief was startled at first, and then said in a blink of an eye. "Old man, this can't be helped. The eldest lady ordered, whatever you two want, our brother will do it for you, but you must not let your grandparents and grandchildren run around again. Otherwise, if something happens again, the heads of these two of us will be lost. ”
As soon as the short thief waited for the thin thief's words to land, he rushed to speak. "Old man, little ancestor, you are doing well, don't be embarrassed anymore. Last time, our brothers wiped their conscience and took a tael of your silver, and this misfortune followed. Fortunately, the eldest lady didn't pursue it, otherwise our brothers would have been miserable. This time, no matter what you say, our brothers will not dare to agree. ”
"Hey, hey, is there such a thing that makes your two brothers so difficult? Don't we just want to take a comfortable hot bath? We didn't let your brothers do anything stupid, and your eldest lady wouldn't be so unreasonable. Old Man Dong smashed his mouth and said with a sympathetic insult, as if he was nagging with a very impatient look.
The two thieves wilted in an instant, you look at me, I look at you, looking at the panic, dilemma.
Li Qiusheng's eyes lit up, and he swept over Old Man Dong's body and said. "Big brother, let's do it, in order not to embarrass the two of you. Old man Dong, don't go to the kitchen with you, I'll just go with you alone. However, Mr. Dong's bathing water has to be taken care of by your brothers. ”
The thin thief hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the short companion on the side, and then said, "Brother, what do you think?" ”
The short thief squeaked suddenly, as if he couldn't make a decision. Dumb, dumb, after talking for a long time, he glared at Li Qiusheng again, and replied simply. "Forget it, man, it's not a big deal anyway. With us following us every step of the way, they can't make any kind of trouble. ”
The two thieves nodded, and Old Man Dong smiled, while Li Qiusheng swayed and followed behind the short thief and turned into the kitchen.
The third watch has passed, and the chill is even worse. Outside the compound, many thieves who were guarding the night were dozing off.
Although there are leading thieves patrolling and checking the sentry, in this broken courtyard in the deserted suburbs, there is no way to stop these thieves from stumbling and dozing. As long as the head of the body turns, the sleepiness in our eyes starts us to sleep again.
At the fourth watch, two pieces of darkness flickered in the kitchen, and a pinch of fire immediately burned violently.
The light of the fire suddenly crackled, like an exploding thunderbolt rolling in the night sky, endlessly. The fire follows the wind, and the wind rises with the fire, from small to large, and slowly spreads to all sides.
The fire finally burned in the firewood room, and the fire suddenly reflected half of the dark sky.
The thieves who kept vigil were shocked, and in an instant, like the defeated remnants of the defeated army, beat gongs and drums and made a noise.
Running along the road, shouting, "Fire, fire, brothers, put out the fire, come and put out the fire." ”
The thieves who were sleeping soundly in the broken courtyard seemed to have suddenly suffered the catastrophe of the enemy's attack. Dressed in disheveled and tired faces, they rushed out of their respective bedrooms. Frightened, he suddenly panicked and picked up the only buckets, brooms, and branches, and walked to the scene of the fire, struggling to pounce on the nameless fire.
In the chaotic occasion when the thieves were struggling to rescue and extinguish the fire, there were two dark shadows with bright eyes and dark smiles on their faces. While holding the bucket, he quickly rushed to the gate of the ruined courtyard.
Everything went as expected, no one obstructed it, no one followed. Naturally, the waves are not alarmed.
This time, the darkness of the two escapes was even more unimpeded, rushing out like arrows off the string.
Outside the hospital, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cold wind was gusting.
Walking on the mountain path is like walking in an array of wind and frost swords, the bones are piercing and cold, and the tentacles are painful.
The two black-clothed men who escaped from the ruined courtyard seemed to be relieved of their heavy suffering in an instant. Then he lifted the black clothes on his body, shook his hand away, and didn't open his eyes to look back.
Each looked up and looked around, the cold night in the deserted and empty suburbs. The night breeze was cold, and the stars shifted, and finally exhaled a long breath from the roar of the two of them.
The two of them sat down on the desolate dry grass, looking at each other and smiling. Then lie back, spread your feet, close your eyes, and lie down in this strange and cold land.
In the darkness, a circle of figures slowly surrounded the surroundings, smashing densely and silently. surrounded the two men who were lying in the dark night, quietly, as if they couldn't get through. It's just that they didn't know that there were dozens of pairs of angry eyes not far away, staring at the two of them all the time, every minute and every second, as they escaped from the broken courtyard.
The figures outside the circle finally slowly surrounded the two of them. As he approached the two black shadows, he heard a long and sharp howl, and after a crackling sound, a ring of bright torches lit up all around. The two smug black shadows shine brightly.
The two black shadows in the circle immediately stood up stunned, looking at the black shadows outside the circle with a blank expression. Looking at the continuous firelight in front of him, he couldn't spit out a word, and he fell into each other's eyes stupidly with a look of shock and doubt.
One of the thieves at the head slowly raised the steel knife in his hand, and a waterfall shouted with a sound, and all the thieves swept towards the two black shadows in the circle like a demon.
In an instant, the ashes were gone.
