War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 214 1V3 in the Bathhouse
In the low and dilapidated small courtyard, the three of them took turns watching Boss Qiu rest for a night, except for a puppet soldier who came to look for Boss Qiu, Wei Ran fooled him by saying that the other party had already left, the only trouble was The only thing is the big mosquitoes that hardly stop at night and the bedbugs that crawl out from time to time.

In the end, being forced to do nothing, Wei Ran simply ran to the yard, put the two Eight Immortals tables together, and lit a handful of damp and smoking reed stalks on the side, and it was finally dawn.

Before going out, Uncle Zhou signaled Wei Ran to wait first, stretched out his hand to measure Wei Ran's feet with a reed, and then he left the yard early by himself.

Before the other party came back, Wei Ran emphatically warned Boss Qiu, who was covered in mosquitos, and by the way, he stuffed a small piece of broken brick into each other's shoes, and then he untied all the time. with his rope.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, when Uncle Zhou came back, he had changed into the long gown he had seen yesterday, and he also had a white cloth cover supported by bamboo poles in his hand.

This is not over yet, after the other party opened the rattan box on his back, he also took out a set of clean coarse cloth clothes and a pair of new cloth shoes with thousand-ply bottoms and handed them to Wei Ran.

"Try it on," Uncle Zhou urged, "Otherwise you won't be able to enter Xiaonanmen's bathhouse with your ragged clothes."

Naturally, Wei Ran would not refuse, and happily put on new clothes and shoes. I have to say, this uncle is really careful, at least the size of the shoes is just right.

Before going out, Wei Ran reminded Boss Qiu again, "Remember what I said, if this matter is done, you and your father can live, but if it is not done, both of you will die."

"Remember, remember, I will definitely make it beautiful for you!" Boss Qiu hurriedly promised.

Wei Ran and Uncle Zhou glanced at each other, and the two blocked Boss Qiu, who was walking a step and bared his teeth, in the middle, and slowly left the yard.As for Han Shoutian, who was handicapped in his legs and feet, he took the box cannon and bullets that Wei Ran gave him last night, and got into the reed stack against the wall again.As for the wooden holster and matching bullet bag, they were hung on Boss Qiu's body again.

A group of three people walked all the way to the entrance of the alley with a distance of about five or six meters between each other. Uncle Zhou at the front stopped, turned around and said, "Boy Wei, if you can't bring Qiu Ermazi out, remember to ask He, why did the more than [-] charter ships at Dongguan Wharf come here?"

"Do you know?" Wei Ran asked Boss Qiu who was standing between the two of them.

"How do I know this?" Qiu boss replied with a sad face, "My father never let me meddle in the affairs of the dock."

Uncle Zhou sighed, "Don't count on this bad guy, I'm afraid only Qiu Ermazi knows about this."

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry." Wei Ran, who was at the bottom of the queue, made a promise, "If there is no way to bring Qiu Er Mazi out, I will definitely ask you about it."

Uncle Zhou nodded when he heard the words, started walking again, unhurriedly shaking the tiger brace on his fingers and walked in the front.

The three of them distanced themselves and walked for more than half an hour. Uncle Zhou sat down at the edge of an early breakfast stall, and the white cloth cover supported by bamboo poles also intentionally or unintentionally pointed to the bathhouse across the road.Seeing this, Wei Ran didn't stop, motioned to Boss Qiu to lead the way, opened the curtain and walked into the bathhouse.

In the bathhouse surrounded by a little water vapor, at the counter directly opposite the door, an old man with a pipe and pot saw that Boss Qiu had come, so he jumped up and bowed respectfully, "Master Qiu, why are you so interested in coming here today?" gone?"

"Is my father here?" Boss Qiu asked domineeringly.

The old man holding the pipe and pot hurriedly replied, "Second Master Qiu hasn't come yet, but it should be soon."

"Then let's go in first." Boss Qiu said and walked in, "I found a scrub master from Yangzhou for my dad, and let him try it today! Don't talk too much, you old bastard, I'll give him a bath." Surprise!"

The old man thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't dare to stop him, and handed over two white towels with a low eyebrow, "Then you go soak in it first, and I'll bring you a pot of tea in."

Boss Qiu didn't dare to look back at Wei Ran who took the towel, and walked into the steamy bathroom.It's not that he didn't want to escape along the way, but every time he took a step, the soles of his feet were hurt by the two finger-sized broken bricks in the shoe, and he couldn't walk away at all, and the more he walked back, the more painful it was, He also felt more and more confident that he could run away.

As Wei Ran also entered the changing room connected to the hot pool, Boss Qiu's arrogant look immediately turned into a flattering one, and Wei Ran didn't make it difficult for him, throwing a towel to the other party and whispered, "Myself Go soak in it, find a blind corner where you can’t see the changing room outside, remember to turn your back to me, and cover your face with a towel. When your father comes, if you don’t want to die, hide in the pool and don’t let him see you.”

Boss Qiu was a bully at first, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he took off his clothes obediently, and with a three-year pregnant belly, he jumped into the pool that had been filled with hot water. He honestly moved to the corner and covered his face with a towel, but he really didn't dare to move.

After waiting in the steamy bathhouse for almost half an hour, seeing that Boss Qiu was about to be steamed, only a curtain separated the outside of the bathhouse from the sound of talking, laughing and talking. The devil's words mixed with it.

Wei Ran who was waiting inside couldn't help being stunned, why are there still devils?This is so different from what I expected!
Before he could react, the chatter and laughter got closer and closer, and then the group of three walked into the changing room, which was only half a curtain away from the hot pool.

Wei Ran, who was hiding inside against the wall, first glanced at the direction of the pool, and saw that Boss Qiu, who was soaking in it with a white towel on his head, was already like a bastard, and he retracted his head into the pool without any intention of showing his head .Only then did he clenched the towel that he had wet in advance, bent down and hid under a table placed against the wall, and looked out along the lower edge of the half curtain.

There were only three people in the slightly dim changing room, and all he could see was below his knees.One of the three men was wearing satin trousers and cloth shoes, and was walking around with a civilized stick in his hand.The second was wearing silver trousers and black leather shoes, and the third was wearing a kid's nuclear recruiting uniform and a pair of high-waisted riding boots.

While the three were undressing, they seemed to be chatting about the bathing culture of the two countries with the help of one of the translators.It's just obvious that almost every sentence of the Chinese speaker is full of flattery, while the one who is in charge of the translation has a sense of arrogance and pride.As for the one who can only speak devilish words, he has an ugly male duck voice.

Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Ran glanced at the hot water pool again, then stepped back into the shadow under the table, patiently waiting for the three people to enter.Although the number of people exceeded expectations, at Hongqi Forest Farm, he and Jima often faced one-to-many times, and he still couldn't believe that those three people could outnumber the beautiful girls who specialize in Xiasan Road in Hongqi Forest Farm. Difficult to deal with!

In less than 5 minutes, as the half curtain was lifted from the outside, a thin monkey wearing a loincloth walked in first.The thin monkey glanced at the large pond that occupies an area of ​​nearly 20 square meters in front of him, said "Yaoxi" in satisfaction, and then walked over with strides.

A young man with a slicked back and a towel around his waist came in right after him. This slicked-back was all focused on the devil in front of him, so naturally he wouldn't notice Wei Ran hiding under the table. It just went straight to the thin monkey in front.

It was also through the skill of getting sideways with this big backed head that Wei Ran, who had already come out from under the table, rushed to the door with a brisk step, reached out and grabbed a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, twisted his wrist, bent and walked around to him At the same time, the wet towel on the other hand has covered his mouth.

I have to thank Karp, Mr. Dalia, Jima and those girls in the Hongqi Forest Farm for fighting training again and again. Almost without thinking, Wei Ran slashed hard with his left hand holding the bayonet. The hard handle directly It hit the middle-aged man behind the ear so hard that he couldn't see Wei Ran's face clearly, and lost consciousness after looking at him.

Gently knocked down this middle-aged man who was in good shape and was more than 1.7 meters tall. Wei Ran turned and rushed to the second big back who went in. Although the latter heard the footsteps, he waited for him Turning around, Wei Ran just happened to cover his mouth with a towel, and then received a heavy blow behind the ear.

Before Wei Ran stunned Dabei and fell to the ground, the little devil who had already walked to the edge of the pool was startled by Boss Qiu who was hiding in the pool, and then he heard a soft bang behind him.

When he turned around, Wei Ran had already put away the bayonet, and a pistol with a suppressor appeared in his hand.

"Shh!"

Wei Ran stretched out his right index finger holding a wet towel and made a silent gesture with his mouth. Before the other party could react, he shortened the distance between the two, and roughly covered the other party's mouth and nose with the wet towel , Repeatedly used the pistol butt behind the ear.

"Give me your towel, and then close your eyes!" Wei Ran picked up three dry towels on the ground and whispered while sitting by the pool.

Boss Qiu, who was hiding in the hot pool, quickly handed out the towel that had been on top of his head, then turned around obediently and closed his eyes.

Only then did Wei Ran put away his pistol and replaced it with a Mauser bayonet, cut each of the four towels into strips and twisted them a few times, cut back the hands of the three people who had just been knocked out and Mr. Qiu Daquan, and by the way tied their hands The mouths were all plugged and placed side by side on the edge of the hot pool.

Glancing at Boss Qiu, who was the only one who was still awake, Wei Ran strangled his father Qiu Ermazi's neck with a wet towel, then took out the towel from his mouth, and dipped his mouth and nose into the hot pool.

In just a few seconds, Qiu Ermazi, who was in a coma, was choked back to consciousness.Seeing this, Wei Ran pulled the wet towel around the opponent's neck to pull him out of the water.

However, Qiu Ermazi only had time to take a breath before being pushed into the hot pool again by Wei Ran.And this time, he suffered for more than ten seconds before being dragged out of the water again.

After repeating this two or three times, Wei Ran pulled him out again, and took advantage of the opportunity to stuff the point of the bayonet knife that he had been holding in his other hand into Qiu Ermazi's mouth.
