Chapter 10: Ambushed
Since the afternoon of Wu Shuang and Wang Biao's competition, Songshan Manor has entered a state of high alert, and the three chief managers have defended the three gates of the manor almost to the point of grass and trees. Not only did they send more people in the open eye, but they also secretly laid a nest trap, believing that even a bee flying over would be discovered by them in time.
That night, when the atmosphere of the people in the city celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival gradually ebbed, the bright moon was as empty as day, and the sound was as quiet as sleep, but the dogs in the city barked endlessly!
Not to mention that dogs look down on people, and if a person is of bad character, even if he walks on the roof - such a supernatural height, he may not be respected by the dog's eyes with a shaking head and tail. Therefore, it can also be said that a person who looks down on even a dog, even if he climbs on the roof, may not be able to increase his height in the eyes of the dog.
Just like being a human being - money does not raise your image, the height of being a human being depends entirely on the quality of being a human being.
However, the black dog of the old blacksmith's family, the eighteenth shop at the east gate of Luoyan City, was barking at a man running on the roof, and after a while, the rough voice of the old blacksmith's black dog drove the whole dog to bark. It can be seen that the herd mentality of dogs is no less than the fanatical enthusiasm of humans.
The barking of the dog in the middle of the night makes the child dare not cry at night, and at the same time makes the adult uneasy. From the noisy barking, it can be concluded that at this moment there must be more than one dog who has discovered the human-like thing that is running fast on the roof.
Perhaps, he was still a shadow, he ran from the east ridge to the south ridge, and then jumped into the alley, this series of movements, in fact, was as hurried and swift as a meteor flying across the night sky.
After a while, the shadow suddenly jumped up to Aunt Wang's fir tree again, and this time finally recognized his intention of running up the fir tree—it turned out that he was trying to avoid a drunkard walking towards him;
After that, the shadow continued to run south along the ridge of the roof, and just as he ran to the ridge of the area of Chengnan Street, he suddenly jumped into the shadow cast by the row of big trees opposite the south gate of Songshan Manor. It was only at this time that the fierce barking of dogs in the city came to an end and gradually subsided.
As a result, thousands of households were shrouded in the silence of the night, and perhaps even the cat that caught mice was already asleep at this moment, but She Gang, the chief manager of Songshan Manor, had not yet slept, and he was standing under the courtyard wall of Songshan Manor, waiting for uninvited guests in the shadow of the locust tree.
Suddenly, clothes fluttered, leaves sounded, and pedestrians came over the wall in the middle of the night.
The man jumped into the courtyard wall of Songshan Manor, there was silence all around, and there was no half of a figure, so he was about to take a step, and suddenly heard a voice say.
"You've stepped on my foot!"
The night walker was frightened, thinking that he had hit a ghost, and looked around, and looked at the canopy of the trees above his head, and at the grass under his feet, and there was not a single figure at all, nor did he see a single ghost, and there were only two trees around him, one thick and one thin—the path of the big tree could be hugged by two people, and the path of the small tree could be hugged by one person;
So, the man in black plucked up the courage to ask.
"Friends in the shadows show up!"
Look around, it's still silent, there's no movement!
Therefore, the man in black thinks that it is caused by his excessive nervousness and delusions.
Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly and said.
"Oh my boy! It turned out that I scared myself. His voice was small, but he could hear it very clearly in such silence.
At that moment, the tree moved, and the human voice sounded again.
"Look at the stupid ball, even your little IQ dares to steal in the middle of the night!"
So, the man finally saw that the small tree in front of him was actually a person in disguise, and he was startled and hurriedly flashed back. Unexpectedly, the mechanism was at his feet, and he touched the machine spring!
A short bow sounded, crossbow arrows fired, and the man in black had a dart on his leg.
However, because his energy was too focused on the pretender, he completely ignored the trivial matter of the dart! Seeing the pretender shake off the branches on his body and the leaves on his head, and hold the ghost head knife in his hand, the man in black pointed to a pair of judges' pens and said.
"Are you She Gang who 'only hears the sound of knives but doesn't see knives'?"
"You have a bit of knowledge. She Gang said, "Who are you? What are you doing sneaking into our Songshan Manor late at night?"
"Wrong way!" said the man in black, "Is this knife in your hand the 'Devil's Head Knife'?"
"Not yet!"
"Why?"
"Because, you're still alive, your head is still around your neck. ”
"Hmph, don't boast. The man in black said, his double pen was like rain, as swift as the wind stabbed at She Gang.
She Gang was not afraid at all, his big arm waved, the knife sounded, and the man in black was knocked down under the wall with a click, but fortunately he dodged quickly, otherwise his head would really move!
At this time, the man in black inadvertently touched a piece of blood on his thigh, and he was taken aback, only to know that he had already been hit by a hidden weapon. Seeing She just coming with a knife, he got up, turned over and jumped, and jumped over the courtyard wall.
It's a pity that She Gang's light industry is still not ready for fire! By the time he made a detour from the south gate to the street, the other party had already fled, and there was no trace of him on the street except for the silence.
At this moment, Wu Shuang led the young man in Tsing Yi who was carrying the burden just arrived, and Du Huixiong and Zhang Wei also rushed over when they heard the sound.
Zhang Wei asked who was the man in black just now?
She Gang said: "This person has extraordinary light skills, and he also has a pair of judges' pens that are extremely powerful, if he hadn't been hit by a poisonous arrow in the leg, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to knock him down with a knife." ”
"Have you fought with him?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Yes. She Gang said, "This person is holding a pair of judge's pens, and the penmanship is strange and unpredictable. ”
"A person who holds a judge's pen but is a little famous on the rivers and lakes!" Wu Shuang suddenly remembered a person and said, "His name is Dugu Xue, and his nickname is 'one-stroke write-off'." ”
"Wonderful, 'Wu Shuangjian is unparalleled among people' is really extraordinary. Suddenly, a purple-robed young man came out of the alley and stroked his palms and praised.
"'Divine Fist Wang Biao' also has the habit of walking at night?" Wu Shuang said with a smile as he watched Wang Biao come out of the alley.
"Could it be that the man in black just now is Your Excellency?" Du Huixiong asked.
"Mr. Du's imagination is too rich," Wang Biao said, "Don't look at me with such eyes, although I, Wang Biao, like to go out for a walk alone in the dead of night, but I will not climb over the wall and enter the hospital to do any despicable things." Besides, last time your owner said that the next time I look for him for tea and walk through the door, I will be very politely received, so I can't cross the wall. However, as long as the duel between me and your owner is not over, I will not have the heart to sleep no matter how good the night is!"
"That's such a coincidence!" said Du Huixiong again.
"The dogs barking all over the city made me upset from the west to the east, and the sound of ping-pong weapons in your yard was too loud, so I rushed here when I heard the sound," Wang Biao said, "It's a pity, it's still a step late! Indeed, this person's light work is very good as Manager She said. ”
"Then how do you conclude that he is the rumored 'write-off' Dugu Xue on the rivers and lakes?" Wu Shuang asked.
"Because I've seen him and fought with him!"
"When?"
"Ten days ago. ”
