Chapter 1787: Chuanye Leaf(1/2)
"What's wrong?"
In the dark east wing, Xiao Wu asked in a low voice while dressing anxiously.
"The night owl called the door," said Zhang Zhengqi, "Search the guy!"
Before he finished speaking, Liuzi had already lifted the two broken quilts placed at the end of the kang, took out four sharp knives from it and distributed them to everyone.
I took the sharp knife and weighed it. This is a willow leaf seed with blades on both sides. Including the length of the handle of the knife more than 30 centimeters, the widest position is only three fingers, but it is thin enough and sharp enough. It is a typical tool to stab people by wiping the neck.
After a while, the gate of the courtyard had naturally been opened, and the person knocking on the door quickly ran into the main room.
Soon, there were noisy outside the yard with police whistles and footsteps from far to near, and from near to far, finally completely quieted down.
"That person just now..."
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Before Liuzi finished speaking, Xiaowu reminded him, and the former immediately closed his mouth.
"Go to bed early," Wei Ran said, and had already placed the slab on the windowsill.
Upon hearing this, Xiaowu and Liuzi immediately pressed the seeds in their hands under the pillow.
In the middle of the night after quieting again, Zhang Zhengqi and the other two quickly fell asleep, but Wei Ran had insomnia.
After thinking about it, he simply put on his clothes and left the warm east wing room, walked into the doorway and lit a cigarette that came the night before yesterday. At the same time, he was also using his light to look at the direction of the main room.
He was curious about who the person was just now, and even more curious whether the gunshot was related to him.
"Woo-Woon!"
Before he could finish smoking the cigarette, a dog barking faintly came from the night, with only one sound, and then it became completely quiet.
However, it was this barking of dog that made his hair explode. It was a military dog!
He was confident that it was a well-trained dog, just like his Belia!
After extinguishing the cigarette butt, Wei Ran quickly ran to the main room and patted the window gently, and said in a low voice, "Master, there are military dogs outside, and someone is probably chasing you."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhang Taiyuan was inside responding, so he immediately ran to the door of the east and west wings and gently patted the door.
When he completed the warning, the door of the main room was also opened by Zhang Taiyuan and others.
"Xiao Wei, you heard it right?" Zhang Taiyuan asked with a frown.
"Not wrong"
Wei Ran whispered confidently, "We must hide, if we are surrounded..."
"Everyone takes his apprentice and run away quickly." Old Zhang made the first decision.
"Old headmaster, our outfits..."
"Hi! Life is important! Now is the time to care about that!"
Old Zhang said, "Run, run immediately, try to hide everything. Tomorrow it will be dark, and the chicken feather shop and cattle shed are in the east of the railway station.
Taiyuan, you take that gentleman to run away. Zhengqi, Xiaowu, Liuzi, Wei Ran, you four follow him."
"Wow, wool, wool, wool!"
Just at this moment, a series of barking from the night far outside the yard also came from the barking of dogs. This was the barking of "civilian dogs". The enemy was approaching!
"Dogs were found by the smell"
Wei Ran said, "Let the smelly one leave me some clothes and I will lead the person away."
"Brother Wei, I'll go with you!" Zhang Zhengqi said, and had already handed over a handful of seeds.
"I can do it myself. There are few people and conveniences. If you have the strength, go and protect the guests." Wei Ran said as he had taken the sharp seed.
"Go and get a piece of clothing for Xiaowei, Xiaowei, where are you running?" Lao Zhang asked in a low voice.
"I'm going west" Wei Ran pointed to the opposite direction to the barking of the dog.
"Leave it to Xiaowei in the west." Old Zhang immediately ordered, "Let's run away now, run away separately, take care of each other."
After saying this, the rest of the troupe simply took the rewards and personal belongings that they had only been given before going to bed, and either followed the master or the apprentice to run out of the courtyard immediately.
"Sir, survive."
Old Zhang patted Wei Ran's arm, lowered his voice and pressed his ear and whispered, "If you can escape, if you get separated from us and fail to catch the train at night, you will find a way to go to the master's house today to find the young grandmother, call her Aunt Wu Si and ask her to find you a place to sit."
Before he finished speaking, Old Zhang took the small suitcase with a camera handed over by his son Zhang Taiyuan and handed it to Zhang Zhengqi, and then stuffed a heavy purse into Wei Ran's arms. Almost in front and back, Zhang Taiyuan also handed a scarf.
"Xiao Wei, you must survive." Zhang Taiyuan said worriedly.
"So too, remember to savor his body, otherwise the dog will still have to chase you."
Wei Ran did not dare to delay, so he took the scarf, then finally glanced at the guest standing behind Zhang Taiyuan and ran out.
After looking at the direction where Wei Ran disappeared, Zhang Taiyuan and Zhang Zhengqi carried the guest on the left and right and ran out, and Xiaowu and Liuzi also put Lao Zhang's head on.
The last person left in the yard slowly locked the door and the door bar on the top, then sprinkled a handful of delicate quicklime into the door hole, and then climbed over the wall and ran away without a shadow.
Wei Ran didn't know the arrangement behind him. At this time, he was pulling the scarf that was mopping the floor with one hand and running wildly towards the west in a dark alley, and finally stopped at a fork in the road.
He looked around and pulled off some beards on one end of the scarf, then chose a fork in the road and continued to run wildly.
Unfortunately, because he was not familiar with the place, the alley he randomly chose was just a hundred meters away. This was a dead end.
Fortunately, the wall is not very high, but the alley is very narrow.
He stepped over the walls on both sides and climbed over the wall. He even deliberately stuck his scarf in the cracks of the bricks on the wall and left some cloth pieces.
Holding a scarf,
On the other side of this wall is a relatively spacious and tidy street in this era, diagonally opposite is an alley, and across the alley, there is a faint light coming out.
Hiding in the shadow of the building and looking around vigilantly, Wei Ran immediately ran into the alley opposite.
As the light from the other end of the alley got closer, a smile appeared on his face.
He knew this street, which was the street of Daguan Tea Garden. Although it was already very late at this time, the brothels, opium dens and gambling houses on this street were not closed!
Not only that, he also saw a smoker staggering from the opium opium house!
"Young Master, I'm looking for you! Go back quickly!"
Wei Ran supported the smoke ghost who was obviously not awake, and said happily and helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to take a shortcut, there's the sledge!"
As he said that, he helped the big smoker into the alley he had just walked out without saying a word.
Not long after, Wei Ran, who had changed into a cotton robe, a dog-skin hat and deer leather boots, walked out of the alley, leaving only a big smoke ghost wearing Wei Ran's treasure and silly leaning against the walls of the alley. He didn't know what kind of dreams he was having.
After weighing the bag before leaving, Old Zhang gave himself a purse, took out the pocket watch that had just been taken out of the big smoke ghost's pocket and looked at it. It was only 10 o'clock in the evening, which was just the beginning of nightlife.
After looking around, he stepped into a brothel.
This place is similar to some consumption places in later generations, so naturally I won’t go to the kang just by entering the door. There are still some green projects to listen to music and drink tea.
After a while, he quickly found a goal, a Japanese man in his uniform and had already drunk high with two "flower girls".
Without any trace, he sat down at the table next to the other party. Wei Ran ordered a pot of wine-like side dishes. While pouring and drinking, he also listened to what the Japanese beside him said.
In just a moment, he learned through the chat of the two girls in Hua that Mr. Yamada is here to do business, and he was able to come here because of his good friend Mr. Miura.
Without too much delay, Wei Ran put down the wine glass and pressed a few sheep tickets, walked to the other side of the drunkard who had drunk, and sat down and said in Japanese, "Mr. Yamada, Mr. Miura asks me to bring you a message."
As he said that, he put it in the other person's ear and whispered in Japanese, "Mr. Miura said, don't waste time here. He got a few better girls and invites you to share it together."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Yamada's eyes lit up as he drank, and Wei Ran also made a gesture of silence in time, "Come with me, where is your clothes? Wearing only these will cause coldness."
"Yes, clothes, my clothes."
Mr. Yamada, who was drunk, struggled to stand up, took the mink coat handed over by the girl beside him, threw down a few military tickets, and let Wei Ran help him leave the brothel.
"How did you come here?" Wei Ran asked.
"Sit...don't-"
Before Mr. Yamada finished speaking, he vomited all over the floor because of the cool breeze. Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately helped the other party back to the brothel, and naturally asked for a room to say that Mr. Yamada had vomited and needed some rest.
After taking the military ticket that Wei Ran took out from Mr. Yamada's pocket, the madam immediately arranged a room enthusiastically.
"Let's sleep for a while"
Wei Ran said, holding Mr. Yamada's neck down, and after waiting for a while, the Japanese fainted.
He simply took off the other party's clothes and put them in his robe, and folded the mink coat. Wei Ran, who was frightened, tied the Japanese's hands and feet to the end of the bed with a face-down method, and blocked his mouth with the scarf. Then he took out the squid and cut a small knife on the other party's chrysanthemum.
Until the other party's bag was red, he waited for a moment, slowly finished smoking a cigarette, then pushed the door and left, handed several military tickets to the madam, deliberately reminding him not to disturb Mr. Yamada's rest with a Japanese accent, and then deliberately scratched his crotch and left the prostitute.
Walking into the alley again, fortunately, the big smoker has not been frozen to death.
Wei Ran took off the clothes he had just asked the other party and helped him put them on. Then he threw away the ragged jacket that he originally belonged to. Then he walked around as a Japanese man, while also looking for members of the opera troupe.
It’s a pity to be lucky. For the next half hour, he did not find any members of the opera troupe. Instead, he saw a devil and a traitor holding a dog around the brothel. He saw Mr. Yamada, who was helped out with a Chinese robe and covered his butt, and the big smoker who was raised out of the alley.
He quietly left the crowd watching the fun, and he also flashed into a lively Japanese-style izakaya, and easily "scrambled leaves" with a few drunk Japanese expatriates.
In the end, Wei Ran, who was covered in alcohol, had not actually had a few sips, walked out of the izakaya wearing a set of hundreds of clothes.
However, before he could figure out where to go next, he saw Zhang Zhengqi running wildly!
Looking at behind him, two Japanese were chasing them slid and shouting.
