Chapter Twenty-Five: A False Alarm
Li Qiusheng was drunk like this by Di Jinyan, and immediately stopped in the middle, slowly crossed back, and sat down in front of the round table without saying anything.
Di Jinyan immediately jumped out of bed, put on a black mask, and peeked out a few times by sticking to the window, as Li Qiusheng said. immediately turned around and beckoned to Li Qiusheng, signaling Li Qiusheng to come forward.
Li Qiusheng knew where he was and tiptoed over. Di Jinyan whispered in her ear, "Boy, you want to stay in the room, and don't move." Otherwise, once you move, it will become more and more dangerous. ”
Although Li Qiusheng didn't know what he meant, he listened to it in the end. When Di Jinyan gently pushed the window and turned over, he walked back to the bed as if nothing had happened. threw the packed bag on the bed, and lay down with his clothes again. Squinting his eyes, it seems that everything he just peeked at has nothing to do with him.
After Di Jinyan came out of the window, she walked to the hall in the courtyard through the dark outside the corner. Although there were people guarding the courtyard, for Di Jinyan, these were not a big problem. After all, her kung fu is not vegetarian, and ordinary people have no way of discovering it.
Until the front of the hall, the lights and candles were like daylight, illuminating the wide area where the hall and the courtyard were connected. In addition to this, the guards of the Lei Mansion also kept patrolling back and forth, and the soldiers brought by Sun Congde were also scattered from time to time, extending from the gate of the entrance to the front of the hall in the courtyard. With such strict guarding, no matter how good Di Jinyan's kung fu was, without the protection of the cover, he would not be able to take a step into the hall.
At this time, Di Jin Yanpu Mansion was among the flowers in the courtyard, and his heart was so anxious that he hit the autumn wind. She didn't dare to turn around and tell Li Qiusheng about the situation in the courtyard. She was afraid that Li Qiusheng, this kid, would not be able to hold his breath all of a sudden, and the trouble would start, and things would be even more difficult to handle with her alone. There was no way, Di Jinyan had no choice but to calm down and look around, looking for a good solution to the dilemma in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the flowers two or three meters away from the lower right corner of the hall, and then a hairy rat that came out late at night to forage for food slowly crawled out of the flowers, squeaking and screaming in its mouth. Di Jinyan's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he had already bounced a small pebble in his hand and shot straight at the hairy mouse. I only heard a scream, and the hairy rat fled back in pain, causing the flowers and plants in that place to sway.
The big man and the soldiers guarding in front of the hall rushed over with the swaying grass and flowers. All of them looked nervous, their eyes lit up, as if something desperately important was about to happen, they formed a big circle, lit a torch and went straight to the grass. Mom, a big hairy rat weighing one or two pounds and being wounded was already lying in the grass, desperately struggling to escape. Several big men and soldiers burst into laughter when they saw it, picked up the big hairy rat on the ground and said. "What a fat rat, brothers are done, let's make a snack for the snacks."
Di Jinyan was waiting for this opportunity, and as soon as the few big men and soldiers in front of the guard hall let go, she flew over like lightning, turned over to the roof of the hall, and moved over gently. When I got to the roof in the center of the hall, I leaned over and took a closer look.
I saw Lei Hu and Sun Congde talking happily in the hall, and Lei Hu said with a smile. "General Sun came to visit at night, I don't know what advice I have? It's the middle of the night, isn't it that I, Lei, provoked General Sun again? ”
Sun Congde put on a bitter face and replied as if he was very embarrassed. "Hey, don't mention this harboring thing, isn't it because of the catastrophe that prevented you from entering the city in front of the city gate in the evening?"
Lei Hu was suddenly shocked, "General Sun, where did you start with this?" You can't be mistaken. ”
"Hey, Master Lei is really joking, how can someone Sun be such a forgetful person." Sun Congde patted his thigh and said worriedly, suddenly changed his tone, and raised his voice to continue. "Could it be that Master Lei really forgot the shopkeeper Chen of "Liuxiang Courtyard"? Didn't I come to disturb the Lei Mansion in the middle of the night because of her? ”
"Ah" Lei Hu was taken aback, and looked at Sun Congde again and said, "How do you say this?" I also asked General Sun to give advice. ”
"Hey, it's a long story, it's a shame. A dignified general was actually driven out of the house by the third aunt overnight. I can't just sleep and rest, what kind of world is this? Sun Congde finally concealed the distress in his heart and said it, making the surprised Lei Hu laugh and lean forward.
Sun suddenly turned red, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all. Lei Hu seemed to understand his gaffe, and hurriedly asked. "In this way, your third aunt is really Chen Lazui's daughter? No wonder General Sun has suffered this hardship. ”
"Of course, after the evening shift, I went back to the house. Thinking about Chen Lazui's matter, he went directly into the third aunt's room and told her everything about the city pass. My third aunt immediately changed her face, saying that I was ungrateful, and I forgot all about my benefactor when I married her. The third aunt also said that she pointed to my forehead and said, if it weren't for the favor and help of Master Lei and Chen Lazui, then there would be such a beautiful and lovely third aunt married by your Sun Congde. Whatever you say, I want me to come overnight to apologize to Master Lei and Shopkeeper Chen. I couldn't prevaricate for a while, and when you look at this coming and going, it's even more late at night. Master Lei, I'm really embarrassed to disturb me late at night. Sun Congde has recently told the ins and outs of the matter, and he has also told the grievances clearly.
Lei Hu naturally knew the reason for Sun Congde's flashy words, so when Sun Congde said the words from beginning to end, he immediately stopped Sun Congde's words and said. "General Sun, let's not talk about this girl. Come, whoever enters my Lei Mansion is a guest, and we won't get drunk tonight. ”
"Okay," Sun Congde replied quickly, and the wine glass in his hand touched with Lei Hu's wine glass.
Di Jinyan was physically and mentally tired from listening to the roof, and felt that no matter how much she eavesdropped on, she might not be able to hear any meaningful news.
was about to close the momentum and escape, only to hear Sun Congde say vaguely from the wine glass. "Master Lei, can you see the notice of the imperial court today to draw Li Qiusheng's shadow and figure with cloth? Now it's all over the street. Maybe if we can capture this guy in our Peach Blossom Town, we won't have to worry about eating, drinking, and withdrawing in this life, and being promoted to wealth is just around the corner. ”
Lei Hu was startled at first, and then immediately said casually. "General Sun smiled, I was dizzy, what do you know about Li Qiusheng? Take 10,000 steps back, even if my Lei Hu encounters such a good thing, I don't dare to think about it, after all, it is not what my Lei Hu wants to do. General Sun, let's drink and don't talk about this. ”
Sun Congde seemed to be bored with himself, scratched his bun and replied, "Yes, this is not a cake falling from the sky, how can a righteous person like Master Lei do these bad things, it seems that my Sun is too careful." ”
Lei Hu pressed Sun Congde's hand again and said, "General Sun, come, let's just drink at this time, drink." Talk less about everything else, talk less about it. ”
Di Jinyan heard this and wanted to run away again, but as soon as his feet were loosened, a piece of rubble immediately fell from the roof, and all of it shattered to the ground with a 'bang'.
Lei Hu and Sun Congde immediately shouted from inside the hall, "Who? Hide above the roof and give it to me. ”
With that, the two of them rushed out of the hall, only to see a black shadow like a bat flying at night, flying straight towards the outer courtyard, and in a moment the news disappeared without a trace.
The big men and soldiers guarding outside were also stunned, and they all looked at the roof. I saw that Di Jinyan had lost the trace of the search, and there was no trace to be found.
Everyone was helpless, and they picked up the lights and searched the Lei Mansion casually. When they saw that they found nothing, they all thought that it was the wind or the night cat that had unintentionally shaken off the tiles, which made everyone turn over in panic and leave one after another.
When the Lei Mansion returned to calm, everything fell asleep in the long dark night.
Di Jinyan quietly flew into the Lei Mansion compound again, turned around, and found Li Qiusheng's bedroom. I gently opened the window and entered, only to see that Li Qiusheng was already like a four-legged king, sleeping on the warm cotton bed in a kimono, a little like thunder. Di Jinyan tiptoed over and gently pushed Li Qiusheng who was asleep.
Li Qiusheng woke up suddenly, got up and asked anxiously with sleepy eyes. "Lady thief, how's it going outside? Did Lei Hu sell me and Mr. Dong? What are you going to say? Don't wait for someone to die. ”
Di Jinyan waved her hands and said happily. "Boy, there's nothing out there as you feared. Lei Hu still seems to be a little heroic now, but it is difficult to say in the future. Fortunately, you kid didn't make a fool just now, or it would have been cast without a big mistake. ”
Who knew that as soon as Li Qiusheng heard Di Jinyan's words, he immediately laughed. "Old man Dong just said? His brother wouldn't betray our grandfather. It's you, a thief mother-in-law, crow's mouth, who speaks ill of others as soon as you enter the gate of Lei Mansion, as if you are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. I'm really convinced of you, a belly full of bad water, all fooling people. ”
As soon as Li Qiusheng's words fell, Di Jinyan roared like an enraged lion. "Well, I'm a bad mouthful. So what are you? It's not a fugitive for your life, and you don't necessarily have to go there. ”
Li Qiusheng was speechless for a while, and said with a blushing face. "Thief mother, you get out of me, and don't appear in front of me in the future. I don't owe you, you don't owe mine, let's not interfere with the river water, the road is facing the sky, and we go to one side. ”
"Okay," Di Jinyan replied angrily, and two tears of grievance suddenly flowed down her cheeks. However, she was still unwilling to accept her failure and said leisurely, "When that day really comes, you will think of me." Now nothing I say proves that what I say is true, only facts speak louder than all words. After saying that, Dick Yan flew away without looking back, and the room was gray with its original peace and tranquility.
Li Qiusheng seemed to stay in it without any sleep, motionless.
