Behind the tall and thin man were three men, all of them were taciturn and sturdy men, dressed in black and short, all with short knives stuck in their waists, and one of them had a sack in his hand.

"You go to the door to look at the wind, there is movement, the cat barks!"

The tall and thin man commanded the beggar.

The beggar hurriedly stood up, followed the four of them to the courtyard, and asked as he walked: "Master Fan, why are you in such a hurry, in the past, we didn't go to the county seat to find people, why did we make a move in the county seat today?" ”

"The next family is in a hurry, what can I do?"

The tall and thin man said a little irritably, and then reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't be verbose, wake up someone else and something went wrong, I will tear you alive!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The beggar hurriedly whispered.

It's just that no matter how the tall and thin man communicates with the beggar, the three people behind him are always silent.

The five of them walked all the way to the edge of the courtyard, of course they would not enter through the main entrance, but went directly to the back, and the two men in black squatted to the corner of the wall, and the third person climbed up on their shoulders and stood up, and reached the top of the wall.

The tall and thin man was about to climb the wall along the ladder built by the men, but unexpectedly, the beggar who was watching the wind on the side of the street suddenly let out an owl call.

Then the four people, who were already ready, quickly dispersed and burrowed into the shadows in the corner.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

A bell slowly turned from the corner of the street, and with the bell came, there was a rickety figure.

The beggar looked from afar, and could vaguely see that this person was an old man, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

When he got closer, even if the moonlight was not very good at night, he could clearly see that it was an old man who poured night incense, and he could recognize it by staring at the county town these days.

He can be sure that he is not mistaken, as a special talent who is watching, it is a basic quality to remember people's faces.

So he could be sure that this was the old man who was in charge of pouring the night incense in the morning.

But rattle to collect night incense, isn't it a job done in the morning? It's only been a few hours since it gets dark!

Isn't this the time to harvest night incense?

Although the beggar was puzzled, he saw that it was only an old man, and he did not feel any threat in his heart, so he let out another bird call, which meant that the crisis was over.

The four people hiding in the dark shadows, although they didn't know what was happening, but since they heard the sound of birds that were not in danger, they wanted to continue repeating what they had just done.

Take a ladder to climb over the fence and turn over to arrest people.

Although the beggar made a birdsong to indicate that there was no danger, he still hid in the shadows and kept an eye on the rickety figure.

After all, even if it is an old man who collects night incense, if he sees it and wakes up the neighborhood, it will not be good.

So when necessary, he, a beggar, was to cover up, to make a movement or make a sound, as long as it could distract the old man's attention.

It's really not good, knocking him out with a stick is also the last way there is no way.

Unexpectedly, just as he was nervously looking at the old man who was collecting night incense, he found that the old man who was still walking with a bell in front of him just now had disappeared.

As soon as it was dark, he fell to the ground.

The tall and thin young man known as Fan Ye was climbing the wall along the ladder, and was about to reach down to pull the others up, when he suddenly saw a rickety figure inexplicably appear beside him.

"This son, three watches in the middle of the night, climbed the wall of people's courtyards, and there are only one old man, one young and one woman in the family, you are trying to destroy people's innocence!"

The rickety figure, in the dim moonlight, actually had a trace of seepage.

The hoarse old man's voice sounded strangely in the ears of the tall and thin young man and the sturdy man in black clothes under the wall, but it seemed to only ring in their ears, and did not alarm the people in the courtyard or other courtyards.

The tall and thin young man, that is, the Fan Ye, was directly taken aback.

You must know that he is on the wall at the moment, this should be about a foot of the wall, and he still has to take a ladder to come up, how did an old thing on the other side appear next to him?

Therefore, his first reaction was not to talk to the old thing, but to take out a short knife from his waist and stab it.

But he didn't expect that the knife he was determined to get was directly stretched out by the rickety figure in front of him, a thin hand like a bird's claw, and directly grabbed the blade of the short knife, so that even if he tried his best to stab forward, it would be useless.

The tall and thin young man knew that he had encountered a hard stubble today, and he was bare hands, grasping the blade with his hands, which was beyond his cognition.

However, after all, he was on the verge of being found and arrested by the police all day, and he reacted quickly.

The moment the blade was caught, he had already let go of his short knife and jumped out.

As soon as he landed, he faced the three sturdy men in black clothes behind him and said, "It's hard stubble,!" ”

After saying that, you have to let go of your legs.

But after all, it was still too late, and the first one to fall was the first to run, and he fell down inexplicably.

The three sturdy men in black clothes and short shirts saw the man surnamed Fan falling, and just wanted to come to the rescue, but they also inexplicably felt that the ground began to shake, then dizzy, and finally collapsed.

The rickety figure standing on the high wall jumped off the wall lightly, walked to the tall thin young man surnamed Fan, and laughed twice, but the laughter made people always feel a chill burning from the soles of their feet, reaching the heart, and then grabbing it, so that the heart no longer beats.

Anyway, he fell to the ground inexplicably, but the tall and thin young man surnamed Fan, who was very conscious, felt like this.

He watched the figure of the rickety old man slowly come to him, let go of the hand like a bird's claw, and his short knife was in his hand, falling to the ground.

At this time, in the faint moonlight, the tall and thin young man surnamed Fan finally saw the face of the rickety figure in front of him clearly, isn't this the old man who went to this courtyard to collect night incense during the day?

"My favorite thing to watch is those who are extremely arrogant in front of me, watching themselves end up being slaughtered!

You are too big to change into sheep, but you can still change from a pig to a dog!

Old man, I thought about it, a pig of 100 catties may not be worth much, just a dog!

Dogs are worth more than pigs!

It just so happens that I have a few mastiff skins from the southwest plateau, and I just use them. ”

After finishing speaking, he shook out a few dog skins from the small burden behind him, picked up a few and compared them, and finally selected a white one, which was directly covered by the tall thin man surnamed Fan.

Three black ones were covered by the three sturdy men in black shirts.

Whether it was the tall and thin young man surnamed Fan, or the three sturdy men in black short shirts, they all wanted to resist, although they didn't know what the old man wanted to do to them with these few dog skins, but it was certain that it was absolutely impossible to be a good thing.

The alarm bell rang in their hearts, but they lacked the slightest strength in their hands, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.

The skin was draped over them, and then they heard the ghostly old man whispering incantations, and then they felt the skin on themselves tighten, and the whole skin began to burrow into their flesh.

They want to move, but they really can't.

They were afraid, tears and snot flowing, but of no avail.

In the blink of an eye, the four tall and strong men on the ground turned into four tall mastiffs.

It's just that these four mastiffs are too tall, and the dogs of more than 100 pounds are indeed scary.

But if you look closely, you will see the look of fear in the eyes of these big dogs.

The old man coughed lightly, then took out a few ropes from the small baggage he was carrying, hung them around the necks of several large dogs, and then shook the ropes.

"Let's go! Let's go! There is always a time in life, and if you go early, you will go late!

Why don't you help me earn a few copper bucks! ”

After speaking, he led the four big dogs away, and the four big dogs were obviously reluctant to follow, but under the inexplicable drag of the four ropes, they couldn't help but follow.

The beggar on the street corner, unconscious, twitched unconsciously, he didn't know how lucky he was, maybe he was still dreaming in the coma, and smacked his mouth twice.

In the county town, butchers generally kill pigs and sheep at the end of the day, prepare meat stalls before dawn, and start trading at dawn.

It's not time yet, but you need to make some preparations.

Just as the butcher was sharpening his knife, an old man came from outside the door, leading four big dogs.

Ooh! I have to say, this dog is so big!
