After the police left, Qiao Xiaojing, Cuiyu and Fugen sat down in the garbage heap. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh my God," Jade sighed with relief, "it's just a little bit like that, and it was almost discovered by the police, it's really hanging." ”
"If the police enter the kitchen," Qiao Xiaojing also felt very suspenseful, "No matter what else, just from the dishes and chopsticks that have not been cleaned up on the dinner table, you can see that there are people living here, and after careful search, the three of us may be too late to drill even if we have a crack in the ground." ”
"Thankfully, the kitchen door is wide open," said Fogan as he stood up, dusting himself off, and laughing, "causing the police to have the illusion that if the door had been closed, I think those guys would have broken in, and it might have been all over now." ”
"Really!" Cuiyu agreed with Fugen's statement, she had already stood up and reached out to pull Qiao Xiaojing, who was still sitting on the ground.
The three of them escaped the catastrophe, stepped on the garbage and sundries and came to the kitchen door again, and their eyes all turned to the door, although the night was dark, they could still vaguely see the door frame that had lost the door panel and looked extremely lonely.
Fogen made his way to the doorway, lifted the door panel that had been laid flat on the floor, and reattached it to the door frame.
At this time, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu had already entered the kitchen, lit the kerosene lamp, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot.
"I didn't expect even the police to be involved," Qiao Xiaojing said disappointedly, "We have become the minions of that wicked woman, and our trouble is getting bigger and bigger." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Jadeite sighed.
"The policeman has taken the advantage of the wicked woman," said Fugan, sitting on the threshold smoking a dry cigarette, "and naturally we will work for the wicked woman, but we will have a hard time, and we will have to find a way not only to deal with the wicked woman, but also to deal with the police." ”
Speaking of this, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu stopped talking, and Fugen stopped talking, and on this nightless night, the messy and dilapidated courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"Okay," Finally it was Jade who broke the silence, she stood up and patted her back, "It's not too early, it's better to sleep, anyway, be careful in the future." ”
Qiao Xiaojing followed Cuiyu out of the kitchen and went to the residence in the dark.
Fogen sat on the threshold for a few more moments, yawned, closed the kitchen door, and went into the back room with a kerosene lamp.
Not long after the three of them fell asleep, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and the sound was even more rapid than the previous sound of the police knocking.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu sat up suddenly, listening to the outside of the house, someone was indeed knocking on the door, and the sound was very loud, they quickly got dressed, and before they could put on their shoes, they came outside the house.
At this time, Fogen had not yet fallen asleep, blew out the kerosene lamp, and was standing in the courtyard.
In the middle of the night, the wind picked up hay and debris and flew in all directions, and the whole yard felt even more terrifying, dark and cold.
The three of them didn't know what fate would happen this time, let alone how to deal with it, and they looked at each other with expressions full of helplessness, helplessness, and hopelessness.
Just when no one knew what to do, the knock on the door suddenly stopped, and the three of them were even more frightened, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu set their eyes on the only man.
"What's the matter, are you talking?" Cuiyu couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Xiaojing replied in a low voice.
"It can't be the police again, right?" said Jade, their shared concern.
"Probably not, who knows?" said each word with a trill.
"What if," Qiao Xiaojing paused for a moment, and then said, "In case it's the minions of the wicked woman of the little wooden building, we, what should we do?"
"Probably not?" Jade took a deep breath.
"I don't know," Fugen seemed to be more nervous than Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, his body would tremble from time to time, and he said timidly, "I hope, I hope it's not those beasts, if they come, I really don't dare to think about it." ”
"Except for the police and the brutes," said Jade, "there is no way for anyone else to come to this place, and I always think it must be one of these two gangs, and it is not possible that the two gangs will come together, not necessarily." ”
"Nonsense," Qiao Xiaojing poked Cuiyu and said lightly, "I don't think the lives of the three of us will really be so miserable, so don't try to scare yourself." Even if it's really them, it doesn't matter, it's just a big deal, it's just a big deal, three people walk together on Huangquan Road, we have to talk and laugh, and we are not alone. ”
Although Qiao Xiaojing pretended to be relaxed, her words still made people feel sad.
The knock on the door sounded again, more urgent than before, and Qiao Xiaojing and the others all felt that they were one step closer to the Netherworld Mansion.
"So what should we do now, stand here and wait for them to come in and trample us to death like ants one by one?" Jade was unwilling to give her life to the wicked like this.
"What can we do, can we go out unarmed and fight those wicked people with guys in their hands?" Qiao Xiaojing became more and more desperate, and her voice was mixed with crying.
"It's definitely not okay to fight hard, but you can't just sit still. "Fugen didn't say anything.
"What do you think we should do?" asked Jade.
"yes!What do you think?" Qiao Xiaojing stood in front of Fugen.
"Let's sneak over and get close to the gate before we get there. It's best if you can escape, and if you can't, you'll have to kill one or two of them. Fugen returned to the kitchen as he spoke, found the kitchen knife and shovel on the board in the dark, took the scissors from the windowsill, and came to Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu lightly.
Fugen gave the scissors to Qiao Xiaojing, gave the shovel to Cuiyu, and whispered, "You two follow me, if you start to move, you will take advantage of the chaos to escape, if you succeed in escaping, run as far as you can, don't go back to this place." ”
"How can this be done, we can't ignore you, besides, you can't deal with so many wicked people alone, if you want to die, you will die together, and if you want to live, we will all live. Qiao Xiaojing was obviously much calmer.
"Yes, live and die together!" Jade was a little heroic.
"I thank you in advance," Fugen clasped his hands in front of his chest and said excitedly, "In this case, not only do you not complain that I left you behind, but on the contrary, you are willing to live and die with me, I am really, indeed very moved, but please calm down, now is not the time to be emotional, life matters, there is hope in life, if you die, there is nothing." ”
The knocking on the door became more and more urgent, and there was a possibility that the door panel would be knocked over again.
"Alright, let's go!" Fugen led the way towards the door, holding his kitchen knife aloof.
"Okay!" Qiao Xiaojing grabbed the scissors and followed behind Fugen.
Jade ran into the kitchen again, put down the shovel, and brought a rolling pin.
Fogen and the others walked very slowly, and their steps were very light, and as soon as they approached the door, the knocking stopped.
Fugen and the others also stopped, and listened intently outside the door, hearing only the sound of friction, but nothing else.
The wind, carrying debris and hay, came straight towards the gate, blowing so that they could not open their eyes.
Just then, a man jumped over the wall, landing right behind them without impartiality.
In the face of the sudden situation, the three of them were all shocked, and they didn't care about anything else, and instinctively shouted: "Who are you?
The guy who had climbed over the wall fell to the ground, and before he could react, he was frightened by the Fugan and them, and sat motionless on the ground, he probably never dreamed that there would be no one answering the knock on the door for half an hour, and there would be someone standing in front of the door, and there were three of them, and they were only a stone's throw away.
"Who are you?" Forgan held the kitchen knife above the guy's head, "Say it!"
"You, who are you?" the guy slowly stood up, his voice trembling.
"You trespassed into our yard," Jade said angrily, pointing at the guy, "and have the guts to ask us questions, I really don't know what it feels like to have a kitchen knife on your head." Tell me, what are you doing, who asked you to come?"
"I, I, I," said the fellow, holding his arms above his head, "I'm a beggar, desperate, thinking this is an abandoned yard, and that's why I've come in." ”
"Nonsense!" Qiao Xiaojing also came over and said to this person, "The gate is locked, how do you know that this is an abandoned yard, tell me honestly, what are you doing, who asked you to come?"
"Tell the truth, I'll cut you with a knife. Fugen made a slashing motion.
"I am a beggar, a beggar who has suffered so much humiliation, you can kill whatever you want, whatever you want. The man clasped his arms in his hands, looking very calm.
Fugen, Qiao Xiaojing, and Cuiyu were also helpless, so they stopped making a sound and stared at the person in front of them.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, someone outside the gate suddenly shouted: "Ah Liang, how is it?"
"No, it's fine. "The man under Fugen's knife is named Aryan, and he is a little stumbling when he speaks.
"Your name is Ah Liang?" Fu Gen thought to himself, "Could this person be the one who was born in Sichuan, Shu and used to perform Sichuan opera for a living, but then fled because of a life lawsuit, almost starved to death on the street, was dragged by me to the police station to raise pigs, and taught me to "change face"?"
"If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, I'll be called Ah Liang. The man looked calm.
When Fugen heard the name "Aryan", there was no hostility in his mind, on the contrary, many beautiful scenes of the life together appeared, but after all, there were too many setbacks, he did not dare to believe anyone easily, and did not dare to rush to recognize each other for the sake of insurance.
"Who are you talking to?" said someone outside the gate again.
"No, no one. Ah Liang still stammered.
"Are you because we're all deaf?" Jadeite pounded Ah Liang.
Fugen said to Qiao Xiaojing: "You go and light the lamp, let me see what this guy looks like?"
At this moment, two more men turned over from the courtyard wall, and they instantly controlled Fugen.
"Don't move, I'll kill him if I move again. A guy who grabbed Fugen's neck threatened with righteousness.
"Okay, well, we don't move, absolutely don't move. Qiao Xiaojing dragged Cuiyu to her side, and in order to avoid harming Fugen, the two agreed again and again and stood still.
"Take us inside the house and hurry up. The guy who grabbed Fugan's neck roared angrily and pushed Fugan.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu also entered the house under the escort of Ah Liang and another man, Qiao Xiaojing lit the kerosene lamp and stood tremblingly in front of the kerosene lamp.
"Squat, hurry. The guy who grabbed Fugan's neck shouted and pressed Fugen's body.
"Ah Liang, it's me, you don't know me anymore?" When Fugen squatted down, he saw Ah Liang standing opposite, although this Ah Liang has left too many vicissitudes on his face with time, his overall appearance has not changed much.
"You are, you're Brother Fugen. Ah Liang hesitated for a moment, thinking for a moment, but quickly recognized Fugen.
"Oh, Brother Fogen, we've finally found you. The three men led by Ah Liang seemed to recognize Fugen, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Fugen up, full of tears, and hugged each other.
