The housewarming banquet at noon, only three vegetables, a steamed osmanthus fish, plus a jar of wine, just filled the stone table in the courtyard, although simple and simple, not as delicious as Guangheju, but it is better to use thought.

Close the door, cut off from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, quite have the charm of "hiding in a small building into a unity, managing his spring, summer and autumn and winter", with the warmth of the noon daylight, three or five friends, push the cup and change the lamp, there is a taste in the heart.

It's just that no one expected that on a sunny day, a piece of cloud suddenly fell, and the matter came to the door by itself.

Suddenly, the big red door was knocked on with a "bang", very urgently, as if someone was shooting a cold shot in the heart, and the three wine glasses suddenly stopped in the air, all looking over.

"The people who rubbed the rice are here?" Qian Xuan teased.

"I don't know anyone else." He Qi shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's the wrong door." Brother Xun said.

But the big red door still kept ringing, obviously I knew, He Qi with doubts, quickly went to open the door, only to see a foreigner standing in front of the door patrolling, with a gun behind him, speaking an unfamiliar Chinese, after some negotiations, he didn't understand what the foreigner patrol said.

He Qi simply communicated in English, and the foreigner looked relieved, and said that something had happened in a few words, saying that the sentry booth had stopped a Chinese man, claiming to be coming here, because he was covered with blood and suspicious in shape, so he was stopped and asked He Qi to go to check.

"Wait a minute!" He Qi inspected the foreigners, turned around and walked quickly towards the courtyard, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and said things briefly to the two.

Qian Xuan couldn't sit still for a moment, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Brother Xun also got up and followed silently.

The three of them came to the sentry booth with the foreigners' inspection, and then they realized that the atmosphere outside was very similar, revealing tension everywhere, and several shops on the opposite street had been closed, and the crowd on the street was like a huge wave crashing on the stones, chaotic, noisy, as if something big had happened.

One person was stopped outside the sentry post, leaning against the wall, one hand covering half of his face, blood pouring out from between his fingers, his neck, collar, and even all the places that were not clean up and down, covered with blood and sludge, and even a chessboard in his arms was broken in half.

He Qi felt that this person's figure was very familiar, so he quickly stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Brother Qi! It's me! Gu Rushui turned his head.

He Qi's expression was shocked, his heart trembled, and even his breathing slowed down a little, Gu Rushui's bloodstained tears were shocking, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and then he said a few words to the foreigners, and then pulled Gu Rushui towards the alley.

"Brother Gu, how did you get like this?"

"Something happened, I just happened to run into ......." Thinking of the scene just now, Gu Rushui still had palpitations, and could not hide his grief and indignation, and even became stammering when he spoke.

Brother Xun and Qian Xuan followed closely behind.

From the sentry pavilion to the big red gate, this short section of bluestone pavement, Gu Rushui told the things one by one, and after listening to it, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they were in no mood to eat for a while.

Here's the thing, there is a Catholic church not far from Dongjiaomin Lane, in the year of Xin Chou, Huaxia lost the war and was forced to sign unequal treaties, one of which was to recognize the legal status of foreign missionaries in the country, and this church was built by the Enamel people later.

Gu Rushui was going to visit He Qi today, first went to the Liuli Factory, learned that He Qi had moved, so he went home again, took out a treasured chessboard as a housewarming gift, and then rushed to the eastern suburbs.

The curious Gu Rushui squeezed into the crowd, and was immediately frightened by the scene in front of him, several mothers collapsed on the ground, holding the child's corpse, crying darkly, and shouted angrily at the people of the country: "Give back my child's life~Return my life~"

The Chinese people around him were even more red-eyed, emotional, and angry in the sky, and the cries were getting louder and louder, and they might break through the iron gate at any time and fight the French.

After a while, several decomposing children's bodies were dug up from the open space next to the church and carried to the iron gate.

Finally, the confrontation between the two sides turned into a fight, and the Chinese people either attacked the iron gate with their weak bodies, or climbed the wall, and the Chinese people opened fire, and dozens of people who rushed in front fell to the ground in an instant, and the blood immediately stained the ground red.

The situation was completely irreparable, and the red-eyed Chinese people, all of whom were fleshy, smashed open the iron door with their bodies, rushed into the church, and scuffled with the people of the country.

Gu Rushui also participated in it, and worked with others to treat the injured compatriots, and the blood stains on his body were stained at that time.

Later, two teams of Beiping patrols came urgently to maintain order at the scene, but the two sides were already fighting together, all of them were red-eyed, and they couldn't stop, and the patrolling people didn't dare to move the foreigners, indiscriminately, and they beat when they saw the Chinese, Gu Rushui was beaten by the patrol and fled the scene.

"!" Qian Xuan roared, he was already gritting his teeth, his eyes were angry, he turned around and ran towards the church, Brother Xun took a step slowly, didn't hold back, and had to follow closely.

After He Qi settled down Gu Rushui, he couldn't wait to rush to the direction of the church.

The street was full of people, some running backwards, some going against the flow of people, thousands of faces of different colors, intricate, so that He Qi was confused for a while, so he had to walk slowly along the side of the street, looking for Qian Xuan and Brother Xun.

Before he walked to the place of the incident, he could hear bursts of wailing, crying, and scolding, it was the patrol beating people, just listening to it made me feel panicked, He Qi swallowed his saliva, endured the fear in his heart, and still moved forward slowly, his eyes searched in the chaotic crowd, and suddenly, a familiar angry voice came into his ears: "Fuck, raised by a son of a bitch, you have the ability to beat foreigners, what kind of ability is it to bully us?" ”

At the same time, Brother Xun on the other side also found Qian Xuan and squeezed towards Qian Xuan, but He Qi was not so lucky, the pergola on the side of the street suddenly collapsed, and it happened to be buried.

He Qi was accidentally knocked down again, his body was trampled on a few times, and he crawled under the eaves in embarrassment, only to stand up, and was about to search where Qian Xuan was, when he suddenly saw a few pairs of patrols in front of him, a fat chief, wearing a blue military uniform, his face was full of horizontal heads, and with a wave of his hand, several rows of black holes and muzzles were aimed at the countrymen.

"Boom!"

A round of salvo into the sky, gunshots were fired to warn, and the people on the street were so frightened that they were hugging their heads and running around, but there were still those who were not afraid of death resisting, and Qian Xuan was one of them.

"Boom!"

Another round of salvo fire into the sky, warning shots, the smell of murderous gunpowder enveloped this area, and the situation was very dangerous.

He Qi had never seen such a battle, his heart was pounding with fright, and he was about to jump out of his throat, seeing that Brother Xun was desperately pulling Qian Xuan back, He Qi had wind on the soles of his feet, jumped over in a few steps, and dragged Qian Xuan's other arm back.

This drag was dragged to the mouth of Dongjiaomin Alley.

He Qi and Brother Xun were tired and panting against the wall, their bodies were covered with sweat, Qian Xuan's two shoes fell off, barefoot, and he was stunned to look at the patrol on the street to catch people, his eyes were full of disappointment.
