West Wing.

"Grandpa, look. ”

Old Man Su sat cross-legged on the bed and woke up, looking at Su Su happily holding a string of sugar gourds and looking at him.

"Huh, where did it come from?"

"It was given by my brother who took us up to the second floor in the morning. ”

"Oh, you can't eat anything from outsiders in the future, you know?" the old man touched the little girl's head dotingly.

"Well, but Brother Xiaoqing is not a bad person. Grandpa eat one, it's delicious. "Hand it to the old man.

"Susu eat it, grandpa doesn't eat this. ”

"Oh" Then he sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on the body of Old Man Su, and eating the sugar gourd happily.

The old man continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

On the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite Shangshan Building, the thin man looked at the motionless bee in his hand, and kept wondering in his heart, and said to himself: "It's almost dinner time, and it hasn't come out yet, do you live in it?", the thin man looked at the side for an afternoon, but he didn't see the pair of grandchildren come out.

The thin man looked at the bee in his hand again, but he still didn't move.

If there is a discerning person here must find clues, the bee in the thin man's hand is the same kind of bee than in the building over there, but the hand is only one size bigger than the one that is put in the hand, this is a kind of so-called hundred-step sub-female bee, as long as the sub-bee leaves the female bee in a hundred steps away during the day, the female bee will definitely follow behind it, the people in the rivers and lakes specially trained this kind of bee for tracking, as long as the target is contaminated with a certain breath, the sub-bee will always follow the target, and the thin man also used this method to track the pair of grandchildren.

The old man surnamed Su and his granddaughter Su Su had dinner and went to bed early when they returned to the room.

Wang Lianqing worked hard all day, his body was sore and his back hurt, he heated a basin of water, soaked his feet, and fell asleep under the quilt.

The shopkeeper Wang lit the oil lamp in the bedroom on the second floor of the backyard and checked the account book settled by Liu's account room today, a gust of wind blew the window, as if he wanted to break the window and enter, and soon a window was blown open with a "bang", and the wind poured into the room, and the oil lamp flame in the left palm of the shopkeeper was blown slightly weaker, and the account book was blown open a few pages and turned over.

The shopkeeper Wang hurriedly pressed the page with his arm that was stuck with his finger and pressed the account book with his elbow, and quickly protected the oil lamp with his left hand, so as not to be blown out by the wind, and the wind gradually became smaller after a while, and the lamp returned to brightness. ”

After finishing speaking, he closed the window, returned to the table and continued to look through the account book, after reading it, put it in the cabinet compartment, and then turned it off, took off his shirt, blew out the lamp, took off his shoes and went to bed.

The night began to fall silent, and in the gloomy darkness there was no sound to be heard except for the rustling of the leaves outside and the "thump" of the doors and windows of the house.

The so-called moon is dark and windy and high night.

I don't know how long it took, in the alley of the back street of Shangshanlou, a black cat jumped up the door wall of a courtyard from the alley, "meowed", and after a while, it seemed to have found something, and immediately jumped off the wall and disappeared on the other side of the wall.

At this moment, under a low wall deep in the alley, three people leaned together, hidden in the darkness, as if they were one with the night. One of them whispered, "Uncle, when are you going to do it?" and the other replied in a hoarse voice: "In a while, it will be the ugly time, this is the time when people sleep the deadliest, and the ugly time is moving." ”

"Good. ”

Not long after, the gong in the husband's hand struck again, and shouted: "When the ugly time is the fourth watch, the weather is cold, don't stay." "Go away.

"Hands-on", the three of them flew to the top of a house in the back alley of Shangshanlou, gently worried about the eaves of the roof, and borrowed their strength again, dodged to the second floor of Shangshanlou, hiding in the corner of the dark observation deck and remained motionless.

The shopkeeper Wang was suddenly awakened by a gust of wind into the house, only to hear that the window that had just been closed was open again, and he was blown around by the wind, and the shopkeeper Wang scolded secretly: "Damn, find a nail to nail it tomorrow and see if you can blow it." ”

After speaking, he grabbed the flint and steel beside the pottery pillow, gently blew it open, turned on the oil lamp, walked to the window by the light, and closed the window again.

At the moment when the shopkeeper closed the window and turned back, he was almost scared to death. The moment he turned around, he suddenly saw a blurry face appear in front of him, almost colliding together, the face was still staring at him with a smile, the light in the room was not very bright, and then the barely light could be sure that it was a face.

The shopkeeper looked at this frightened scene, wanted to call but couldn't call out, couldn't walk, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, the shopkeeper Wang forced himself to calm down, and said to the 'person' in front of him: "You~Who are you?Yes~People are ghosts?What do you want to do?"

Hearing his question, the lips of the face in front of him moved, and said, "Say, which room does the grandfather and grandson live in?" and then smiled gloomily at him.

After hearing what he said, and after confirming that it was a person, the shopkeeper Wang was much bolder, and he settled down and said, "What grandson?" ”

When the man heard the king's answer, he smiled, and then said to the king's shopkeeper, "Oh, are you sure you don't know?" The king's shopkeeper thought to himself that this person sneakily came to find the pair of grandchildren in the middle of the night, and he was definitely not a good person.

"I really don't know who you're talking about. ”

"Be a good person? A good person dies. After saying that, he didn't look at the shopkeeper again, but walked straight to the bed of the shopkeeper Wang, and watched the man walk away, and by the light over there, the shopkeeper finally saw his face clearly, looked at the man in surprise and said, "It turned out to be you." ”

The man was not at all surprised that the shopkeeper recognized him, he grabbed the robe that the shopkeeper had hung on the clothes pole, walked in the direction of the shopkeeper, and said to the shopkeeper as he went, "You really don't say it?"

The shopkeeper looked at him vigilantly and said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

The man's sneer, he didn't stop, he kept approaching the shopkeeper Wang, looking at him playfully, the shopkeeper Wang retreated again and again.

Then the shopkeeper thought that he was dazzled, and the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, and when he looked at it, he was indeed not there, and in his trance, he suddenly heard the voice of the person behind him: "You don't say that I can find them, since you love to be a good person so much, then let you die a good death, don't blame me." ”

After listening to the man's words, the shopkeeper didn't react, and suddenly felt something inserted into his body on his waist, and he only felt that he was about to faint in pain, and the pain made the shopkeeper Wang cry out loudly, but he found that the man had used the robe he had just taken from the clothes pole to stretch out his left hand from the back of his neck and tightly wrap his throat, blocking his mouth, unable to make a sound, unable to move, only a whining sound.

The shopkeeper began to be afraid, and then clearly felt that the man pulled out the thing inserted into the waist, and pierced it into his inner thigh, and a feeling of pain came, the shopkeeper Wang's eyes widened, and the cold sweat on his forehead came out directly, only to hear the "hehe" laughter of the person behind him, he wanted a cat to tease the mouse that had not escaped from the palm of his hand, the shopkeeper Wang couldn't scream, only attacked the person with his hands before and after, but an old man who was close to the age of the sixtieth natural strength was no longer stronger than when he was young, and he could not do any harm to that man.

There was another sharp pain, the shopkeeper Wang clearly felt that his left leg was inserted again, the pain made his scalp numb, tears flowed, and he clearly felt that there was water flowing down the legs in his legs, and the shopkeeper Wang knew that it was blood, and he couldn't change anything by watching all this happen. Then the man pulled out the insert from his left leg and stabbed it into the lower abdomen, and the king's shopkeeper vaguely saw that it was a dagger about two inches long.

Then he stabbed a few times, at this time the shopkeeper Wang was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his body trembled violently, his eyes were hollow, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hands were hanging down, and then the man pulled out the dagger in his lower abdomen and inserted it into the back of the king's shopkeeper, and then cut the shoulder meridians on his left arm, and the blood flowed artesianly, the king's shopkeeper could no longer support it, and collapsed directly, the man let go, and the king's shopkeeper lay on the ground, blood kept coming out of his mouth and nose, and he trembled on the ground.

The wounds on his body continued to bleed, and after a while, the blood on the planks pooled into a puddle. At this time, the window that the shopkeeper had closed just now opened again, and two black-clothed men rushed in from outside, and the man at the head said to the man next to the shopkeeper Wang: "Don't waste time, but as a result, he is afraid of change." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi!"

It turned out that these three people were the three people from the back alley.

The man standing next to the king's shopkeeper pulled out his dagger, squatted down, and thrust it into the chest of the king's shopkeeper, and instantly shot out a few drops, and hit the man's face, and the man frowned.

Then he inserted another knife, and saw that the shopkeeper on the ground was not moving, and then he probed his snort, and made sure that the shopkeeper did not breathe any more, so he pulled out the dagger, wiped the clothes of the shopkeeper Wang, wiped the blood on the dagger, and then wiped the blood on his face with the bloodstained part of the robe, and nodded to the two people who were watching there.

The person who was the leader over there gently pushed the oil lamp on the table, the light went out in an instant, and the room was dark, and then the three of them flashed out of the window gently, and the next moment appeared on the roof of the building, gently lit the roof tiles and quickly flew towards the osmanthus tree in the courtyard that was blown from side to side by the wind, and disappeared among the dark branches.

At this moment, the old man Su in the west wing seemed to feel something, and suddenly opened his eyes, only to hear an insect flying in the room, feeling that something was wrong, and immediately got up from the quilt and picked up the clothes on the clothes pole and put them on, woke up Su Su, and told her to stay in the room and not to come out no matter what she heard.

Hearing what his grandfather said, Su Su immediately grabbed his grandfather's hand and said nervously: "Grandpa, I'm afraid of being alone." ”

"Well, don't be afraid, grandpa will come back after going out for a while. ”

"No, no, no. ”

The old man shook his head helplessly, "Then you get up, get dressed, and we'll go out together." ”

"Su Su, no matter what you see, don't make a sound?" the old man instructed again.

"Got it," Su Su nodded back.

After getting dressed, the old man hugged Su Su and gently opened the door, and a gust of wind rushed towards him, and Su Su inexplicably hugged the old man's neck.

The old man gently stroked Su Su's back with his right hand, and whispered, "Grandpa is here, don't be afraid." ”

"Hmm. His head was buried in the old man's arms.

Out of the door, the old man took the door and walked in the direction of the backyard.

Listening to the rustling sound of the wind and the dark clouds closing the moon, all this seems very strange. Old Man Su frowned as he moved, his right hand secretly lifted his qi, and the qi in his body worked on its own.

Turning the foot of the corridor, this corridor went forward to the middle of the backyard, and Old Man Su felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn.

He has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and he is used to seeing the people of the rivers and lakes fighting openly and secretly, intrigue, and it is not strange that people die in life, and the villains who died under his hands are not hundreds but dozens, and he has almost died at the hands of gangsters several times, but he has survived strongly, and he is also considered to be an old veteran of the rivers and lakes, but in the face of a situation like tonight, he still can't help but be apprehensive in his heart, he moved forward cautiously, not daring to make a sound, and Su Su was obediently motionless in his arms.

Old man Su continued to walk forward, the wind seemed to be getting more and more urgent, and he rushed towards the door in front of them, the old man's long hair was a little disturbed by the wind, and the old man hugged Su Su in his arms.

Walking through half of the corridor, when the old man just wanted to take a step forward, he suddenly screamed in his heart: "Not good", and in an instant, he felt that there was a gloomy murderous aura around him from the corridor beam above the oblique towards the door, saying that it was fast, the old man quickly retracted his steps, and his whole body went to the left side, only to feel that there was a strong force from the position of the side just now, and for a moment he only heard the stone slab under the ground where he was standing before being cracked "boom~" and scattered.

Su Su, who was in the old man's arms, didn't react to what happened just now, and was startled when he heard the sound of the stone slab being split, and screamed loudly.

Feeling the moment of shock just now, cold sweat broke out on the old man's head, if he hadn't taken precautions in advance, he would have been hit by the force that had been split from the beam just now, and it was estimated that he and Su Su would be split in half, thinking about this killing blow, he felt a chill in his back.

He hurriedly dodged behind him, away from the position just now, not daring to relax, about ten steps away, staring at the position where he was attacked just now, where a man's voice came from the darkness: "Admire, admire, actually dodged my sneak attack with all my strength." ”

Listening to the man's blatant voice, Old Man Su's brows furrowed even tighter.
