30. Each is prepared
The Ruyi Fang in the night is lit up as always.
However, Wei Dongjia did not chisel wood, and the shopkeeper Lu did not look at the account books.
The two sat in a pile of wooden tools, drinking tea and eating salted beans.
"You say, is this kid okay?" Shopkeeper Lu said.
"I have a little ability to survive until now." Wei Dongjia said as he chewed his beans.
"Lao Cao has checked the newspaper in the past few years, and that thief has committed a lot of crimes." The shopkeeper Lu said, "It's very cruel and cunning, and it's really hard to deal with." ”
"That ink man has been staring at this thief for so many years, and he knows better than anyone whether he can deal with it or not." Wei Dongjia said, glaring at the shopkeeper Lu, "If you can kill, you can kill, if you can't kill, it's a big deal, he is not afraid of life and death, let's not care about his life and death, do a good job of the aftermath, and do our best, this is a very common thing, what are you worried about all night?" ”
Shopkeeper Lu was stunned and smiled: "Yes, it's a very common thing, why am I making such a fuss." ”
Because it's a common thing, and I haven't seen it for years.
In the future, we will be able to see each other often.
Shopkeeper Lu took a sip of tea, thought of something and asked, "Is Miss Seven Stars coming over tonight?" ”
Wei Dongjia said: "I asked the old Wu family to tell her not to come." ”
Shopkeeper Lu nodded: "Yes, don't come out, who knows when to do it, where to do it, even if Lao Cao is staring at it in the yamen, the servants will search randomly when he is arrested, and it will not be good to bump into it, so it is better to be stable at home." ”
Wei Dongjia finished drinking the tea and shook the station to get up: "Okay, get up and work." ”
Shopkeeper Lu sat still, pinching salted beans with one hand and picking up the account book with the other: "You get up, I don't need to, I can work while sitting, not as hard as you carpenters." ”
Wei Dongjia snorted and shook the wheeled cart to get the saw.
The sound of saws and laughter made the workshop as lively as ever.
The small courtyard of the Seven Star House is still lit up, and the figure of the woman embroidered is reflected on the window lattice, and there is only one figure as before.
But that figure is still a pheasant practicing embroidery, and Qixing is not at home.
In the dark city, there are figures passing by on the rooftops of the staggered heights, occasionally stopping on the flying eaves, like stone beasts, overlooking the city at night.
The night was deep, but even in the high gate and deep house, it was not silent, the insects chirped, the night birds chirped, the night servants yawned and kicked and kicked away, and the wind blew the lanterns and swayed.
A figure flashed in the shadows of the lights.
The patrol servant was startled, holding a lantern to shine over, only to see the swaying shadow of the lamp and the elongated shadow of flowers and trees.
"Who?" A domestic servant said, "Cat." ”
"Miss loves cats and has a new black cat." Another servant said.
"Black cats? It's also too unlucky. The previous servant whispered, "Why did the master let the young lady raise this?" ”
"Miss is pampered, she can have whatever she wants, where can the master take care of it."
The servants whispered and continued on their way.
The wind blew the flowers and trees swaying, and gradually a figure appeared, and the figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, and turned in the other direction.
As he left, a prostrate figure got up on the roof, and he saw that the figure was running in the direction of a small building.
It should be the pampered lady who has been to the gold and silver shop to buy a lot of things.
Damn it, the man on the roof frowned in the night, this thief has always robbed money first and then killed, so he wanted to wait until he finished stealing the money and did it, so that he could be regarded as having a basis to catch the thief on the spot.
But now the thief did not steal first, but went to kill.
Then you can't wait.
He must not be allowed to hurt the young lady.
The figure on the roof flew down, chased after it, and as soon as he approached the small building, he saw that the thief had climbed up to the second floor like a gecko, and his hand was grasping the window—
The man who followed him did not hesitate any longer, shook the beggar stick in his hand, drew his long sword, jumped up on the rockery in the garden, and stabbed at the thief.
The sound of breaking wind came from his ears, and the cold light flashed in the corner of the man's eyes, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, so he turned around in the air, and a dart passed by his ear.
With a ding, his long sword also stabbed the figure in the window, and the figure flew lightly.
It turned out to be just a piece of clothing, which was held by a branch on the window edge.
The man reached out and grabbed the window edge.
"Chief Meng Xi!" A voice came from overhead, "You're really haunted. ”
The man watched as a figure appeared on the rooftop, his eyes shining fiercely in the dark night.
"I'm here today, not for money or sex, but for you." The voice said fiercely, "Today is your death!" ”
No wonder it was customary for the thief to stay in one place for at least three days before he started, and then he was about to commit the murder the next day, and it turned out that he was trying to trap and kill him.
So what, would he be afraid?
"That's right, Shi Feng, today is your death." He let out a low cry and leaped to swing his sword.
Weapons collided, mixed with the sound of roof tiles cracking.
The two fought on the rooftop, sparks struck by swords in the darkness of the night.
Meng Xi's long sword moved with him, and the speed was extremely fast, but a long whip in Shi Feng's hand was as agile as a snake, swinging a barrier around his body, so that the long sword could not get close.
Shi Feng also scolded in a low voice.
"Chief Meng Xi, what's the good of you killing me, everyone is a thief."
"What is it for the way of heaven to eliminate harm for the people, you Momen are the remnants of rebellion against the King of Jin."
"I didn't even go to the government to sue you, what are you doing chasing after me!"
Meng Xichang didn't say a word, he didn't distract at all, he swung his sword like the wind, and with a bang, the long whip in Shi Feng's hand was knocked away, and the long sword slid across Shi Feng's face, leaving a bloody mark.
"You mad dog." The stone wind roared, and the people staggered back, and the roof tiles made a heavy cracking sound.
The people in the small building were not alarmed, but the cats were frightened and made a noise.
Meng Xi's long sword was as fast as the wind, and it swooped straight into the stone wind.
Stone Wind fell backwards, his sword deflecting and grazing his neck, stabbing him in the shoulder, and he let out a scream.
Meng Xichang took another step forward and wanted to stab the long sword into it and cut his throat, but at this moment, Shi Feng's hand was raised, and a piece of powder and white attacked.
This thief carries the drug poison powder with him!
Meng Xichang retreated backwards, withdrawing his hand from his hand, and Shi Feng, who was stabbed, took the opportunity to break free, and the person jumped downward, and at the same time, his hand was raised, and with a sharp sound, the fireworks exploded in the night sky.
"Someone—" Shi Feng hissed, "catch the thief—"
The people in the small building were finally alarmed, the woman's scream drowned out the cat's meow, the footsteps in the house were chaotic, and the servants who were patrolling the night also rushed over.
"Someone—"
"There's a thief—"
The noise also exploded like fireworks, spreading from the house to the neighborhood to the city.
Meng Xichang looked at the courtyard, and the stone wind that fell was nowhere to be seen.
Pity! This time he ran away, it will be even more difficult to catch him next time, Meng Xichang held the long sword, and then looked at the noisy night, but he couldn't chase and kill anymore, he couldn't be caught, he was also a thief, and catching him would bring trouble to Momen.
Doing what he could, he didn't hesitate to turn around and run towards the night on the other side.
In the dark night alley, a rapid birdsong sounded, and with the birdsong, the figure of a little beggar came out.
"This way, this way." He shouted under his breath as he ran forward.
Meng Xichang followed him quickly, and the two quickly climbed into a mansion.
As they vanished, the streets resounded with the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and the city patrol officers galloped past with torches.
But this was an instantaneous uproar, and it didn't immediately spread throughout the city.
Fires and thieves are also common things in the city, and many people are still sleeping peacefully.
The alley in the southern corner of the city was quiet, and a figure walked unhurriedly, with light and silent steps, but after a few steps he stopped, leaned against the wall, pressed his shoulder, and let out a low hissing cry of pain.
"Meng Xichang, this mad dog." He gritted his teeth, looking down at his shoulder, where blood had stained his shirt red.
But fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point.
Shi Feng reached out and pressed the wound, it doesn't matter, he is still alive, so, wait, Meng Xichang is dead!
Although he didn't come to this Xu Cheng for a long time, he also inquired and knew that this new prefect loved to be the master of the blue sky, not a timid person who was afraid of doing nothing, so he had already drawn the portrait of Meng Xichang in advance and wrote a letter of warning, just in case he couldn't kill it with his own hands, he borrowed the hand of the government.
Now he is going to send merit to this prefect.
"Good thieves don't do it." Shi Feng sneered and said, "Then you can die." ”
Thinking of this, the pain of the wound also seemed to be reduced, and Shi Feng straightened up and continued to walk forward, but suddenly he stopped again.
A shadow appeared at the mouth of the alley, like a ghost.
The night was overcast, and if it weren't for the fluttering of his clothes, he wouldn't have noticed.
Of course it's a human, Shi Feng has never believed that there are ghosts in the world, otherwise why wouldn't the people he killed come to him for revenge?
As soon as he stopped, the fire flickered, and the man had a fiery twist in his hand, which reflected her appearance.
It's a woman!
It's not that old.
It's pretty good-looking.
A few thoughts flashed, and Meng Xichang swallowed back the voice that was about to shout to alarm the others.
"Little lady, how a person." In a panicked voice, he said, "Go home quickly, there are thieves in the city, and you see I am all wounded." ”
The woman looked at him and smiled: "I know, I'm here to see the thief." ”
Shi Feng looked stunned, put away his disguise, and his eyes were not good, so he knew that the woman who appeared in the middle of the night was not a good person.
"What? Are you an accomplice of the thieves? He asked in a hoarse voice.
Meng Xichang even has an accomplice? Isn't the Momen scattered? That's why he deliberately booby-trapped Meng Xichang.
The woman didn't speak, just stepped forward.
What if it's an accomplice? Shi Feng squinted, it seemed that there was really no one, so he was looking for a woman to be his accomplice.
Soft and weak, at first glance, there is no effort in the body.
"What are you going to do?" Shi Feng's voice was a little flustered, and he pressed his shoulder and stepped back, "I'm injured, you, you let me go." ”
His voice and actions looked timid, but his eyes sparkled fiercely under the cover of the night.
It's too easy to kill a woman.
They are delicate and delicate, but also soft-hearted.
In the end, a man has great strength, although he has kung fu, but it is inevitable that there will be trouble when he encounters an unwanted life.
He still cherishes himself very much and is reluctant to get hurt.
That's why I prefer to kill women, or the old, weak, sick and disabled, these people are easy to kill, and it's fun to torture.
Although he didn't have a weapon at this moment, it wasn't a problem to kill this delicate woman.
Shi Feng looked at the woman who came over, the firelight shining on her face, small, white, like a piece of tissue paper.
"Don't come here." He shouted in a trembling voice, "I don't dare anymore, you let it go-"
He slowly bent his knees, looking like he was about to kneel and beg for mercy.
His hands stretched out slowly, like eagle talons.
In his heart, he said to come over more, come over more, and then he pounced-
Shi Feng's figure had not yet moved, and the cold light flashed, and the woman who was still a few steps away came to the front and raised her hand.
So fast-
How can it be so fast? Shi Feng subconsciously wanted to hide back, but the thought flashed, and the person knelt on the ground with a pop.
The faint light of the fire shone on his round eyes, which were full of disbelief, horror, and pain.
He raised his hands like eagle talons, and they did not fall on the necks of others, but on his own.
Blood burst out, passed through his fingers, and fell off the placket.
"Don't, come, come—" Shi Feng's remaining breath stumbled and spat out the last sentence.
This time it's sincere.
After saying this, the man fell forward and remained motionless.
The fire twists in the alley were also extinguished at this time, and the night was thick.
