However, Tao Canhua declined the other party's "good intention" to help him hold the three-stringed string, and said with an unhappy look, "I messed up the string and have to adjust it later. It will delay things. Please help me carry the storytelling drum, but

Don't drop the drum and arrows for me."

As he said that, he carried the sanxian covered with blue and white cloth, followed Furukawa and Wei Ran, who were both empty-handed, and walked into the large hanging flower door.

After passing through this door, Wei Ran clearly felt that the smell of urine was stronger. At the same time, he also saw that this was a less than standard three-entry courtyard.

The reason why it is not very standard is that in addition to being a little narrow from east to west, the main reason is that the doors and windows of the east and west side rooms have been removed and converted into workshop-like sheds.

At this time, more than a dozen people were busy making tobacco paste in these two sheds. There was no doubt that the strong smell of urine came from the sheds on both sides.

"Furukawa, you know the rules here, right?"

Just as the hanging flower door behind him was closed, the man standing next to Ueda also asked.

"of course I know"

As Furukawa spoke, he took out his horse card player from his pocket and placed it on the note table on the side of the door. At the same time, he did not forget to instruct, "Wei Ran, Can Hua, take the dick off of you."

Just put everything down, I'm going to search you later."

Hearing this, Tao Canhua, who had long expected this to happen, simply took out the Type 26 revolver from his arms and placed it on the bill.

"I didn't bring anything with me." Seeing the others looking at him, Wei Ran spread his hands with a frank expression.

But it was obvious that the man whom Wei Ran and Tao Canhua had never met before did not believe it. He just waved his hand expressionlessly, and immediately three more people dressed as traitors came over and gave the three people, including Furukawa,

They searched their bodies, and then checked the musical instruments of Wei Ran and Tao Canhua.

It wasn't until he was sure that nothing was found that the pouting middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile. Together with Ueda, who was watching the fun next to him, he led the three of them, including the two traitors at the end who helped carry the instruments.

We walked into the main room on the second entrance to the courtyard.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You two, just take a rest here. The east room is yours. Someone will bring you some food and drink later."

Ueda stood at the door of the main hall and said, "After the sun goes down later, you can perform for everyone in the courtyard."

"Okay" Wei Ran agreed happily, and then asked tentatively, "I wonder if Aunt Su is here?"

"She is chatting with Yumi and Yumi's mother in the back room."

Ueda said as he walked out, "You will be able to see her during the evening performance. Also, don't leave the room without permission."

"Don't worry, the most we can do is go to a hut, and we won't go anywhere else." Wei Ran responded with a smile.

Watching Zhitian and others leave, Wei Ran and Tao Canhua took over the musical instruments brought in by the two traitor doormen, and waited until two more traitors brought them some fruits such as pears and watermelons and a large pot.

Tea, then they looked at each other.

"I'll go to the West House to take a look."

Wei Ran whispered, walked through the main room to the door of the room on the west side of the main room, and took a look through the glass window. In this locked room, there were only a few tightly buttoned wooden boxes.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Unwilling to give up, they returned to the room on the east side of the hall assigned to them. This room was twice as big as the room on the west side. Not only that, in addition to a heated kang covered with mats, there was also an Eight Immortals table and two chairs in the room.

, as well as several jars of wine placed against the wall and a washbasin.

"This little devil doesn't know the rules, so there's no way he can entertain guests in the main room." Tao Canhua muttered in a low voice as he leaned close to Wei Ran.

"They have no intention of treating us as guests," Wei Ran muttered as well.

"Do you think Xiao Su's mother is here?" Tao Canhua curled his lips and asked in a low voice.

“It’s not clear yet”

Wei Ran shook his head slightly, "But I guess Xiao Su's mother won't be in any danger now. Besides, we have to find a way to spread the news."

"I just saw Mr. Hong," Tao Canhua said against Wei Ran's ear.

Mr. Hong? Feng Maoyun?

Wei Ran asked in a surprised voice, "When?"

"When crossing the bridge"

Tao Canhua explained close to Wei Ran's ear, "He is here with me. You probably couldn't see it at the time. He was sitting on a foreign car. I can see clearly that the person pulling the car is Brother Guan!"

"Are they following us?"

"I guess so"

After Tao Canhua finished speaking, he sat on the bed, took off his round cloth shoes, and then took out the red insoles from the shoes, revealing the two semicircular copper pieces hidden inside for Wei Ran to take a look at.

"What is that?" Wei Ran asked after the other party put on the insoles and put on the shoes again.

"Pear blossom slices are used for playing drums." Tao Canhua explained in a low voice, "I have sharpened them. They will definitely be fine for use as swordsmen."

As he spoke, Tao Canhua signaled Wei Ran to follow him to the storytelling drum. He picked up the drum hammer and beat it rhythmically while whispering, "There is also a gun hidden in here. In a pinch, use the drum."

You can take it out just by slicing it open.”

"When did you hide it?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"Ever since the day the Japanese took over the concession, my aunt asked my dumb uncle to make me this drum."

Tao Canhua whispered, "I change the drum head with my own hands every month and check the gun inside."

After saying that, he pointed to the guqin lying next to him, "There are two grenades hidden in the belly of that guqin."

Hearing this, Wei Ran's heart trembled, and then he heard Tao Canhua whisper, "But I'm not sure whether those two grenades can still be used. Anyway, as long as you put your hand into the dragon pond, you can feel a tight rope.

, hook the rope and pull hard, and it should work."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wei Ran asked dumbfounded. He originally thought that he was the only one who hid many big treasures in his food box, but he didn't expect that Tao Canhua was just as good as him.

"I told you earlier, I'm afraid you'd reveal the secret."

Tao Canhua gave an explanation honestly and honestly, but then guessed, "You said they won't come to rescue us tonight, right?"

"It's hard to say." Wei Ran shook his head, "Now I don't even know if they can find this place."

"Too..."

Tao Canhua secretly sighed, but he was caught in the same contradiction as Wei Ran. He hoped that someone would come and at least spread the news, but he was also worried that if someone came, he would be caught by the devils in the yard.

Amidst such worries, as night fell, a traitor hung a lit kerosene gas lamp on the toon tree planted in the second courtyard.

At the same time, the workers who were making tobacco paste, led by two other traitors, lined up and passed through the hanging flower gate after searching their bodies carefully.

At the same time that the second courtyard was cleared, two more young men brought tables, chairs and benches and set them up in the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, Tao Canhua and Wei Ran were also invited to the courtyard along with their musical instruments.

"You guys can perform here later," a young man with short hair said politely in Chinese with a Jiaodong accent.

"Hey! OK!" Tao Canhua responded honestly. At the same time, he and Wei Ran saw Ueda and Yumi, Furukawa and Xiao Su's mother, plus the person they had never seen before, and more people they had never seen before.
