I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 49, tricking people

A round of white jade plates hung high in the sky, and the bright and clear moonlight flowed like mercury. Under such a night sky, countless evils were breeding like rotten mud.

There are shadowy figures in the darkness; the sweetness of blood and a little rancid smell linger in the nose; there are occasional screams and vague weeping in the ears...

All of these are telling what a chaotic night it was.

On both sides of the road, Fang Rui felt that behind the doors that were crossed backwards, there were pairs of panicked and helpless eyes staring outside nervously.

From Tianshuijing Hutong to Liushu Hutong, the small half of the journey was safe and sound.

until--

Passing by a street, two disheveled men came out of a house with a wide open door, carrying their trousers.

"People over there, stop!"

"Are you deaf? It's you who are talking, please stop!"

Maybe it was because of the hostility, or maybe it was the machete in their hands that gave them confidence, these two dazed local hooligans stopped them, and then they were beaten to death by Fang Rui with three strikes, five divisions and two divisions.

Especially for one of them, Fang Rui used all his strength, pressed his palm on the opponent's chest, and sent the person flying five or six meters away, hitting the wall hard, holding his breath for a few moments, like hanging a painting , and finally fell with a bang.

In the dark, many people who saw this scene gasped in unison... Then, those peeping eyes receded one after another.

On the street in the distance, there was a wave of government servants patrolling the street.

"Boss, over there...look over there...gudong!"

The yamen servant swallowed hard: "There is a murderer..."

"Where is it? Where is it? Yu Yu, your eyes are not good! Hu Laoba, have you seen it?"

"I didn't see... Haha, is there anyone? Let's go, let's go patrol over there!"

Later, those yamen servants were farther away, and faint voices were heard again.

"Boy from the Yu family, learn a little... In this world, you have to turn a blind eye to live a long time..."

"That's right! It's not that Xu Lao Liu doesn't work hard, it's really: this salary is not enough for me to work hard!"

……

"Brother Rui, that person... vomit!"

Fang Xueshi clutched her chest, bent over and retched for a while—the opponent's body collapsed and deformed under the impact of the huge force, reminded her of meat pie, or human meat pie... her stomach couldn't help but churn.

"Auntie!"

The third lady let go of her nannie's hand, and stepped forward to pat Fang Xueshi on the back.

It's not that she has a strong ability to accept, she is also disgusted in her heart, but she is slightly lighter than Fang Xue, and she suppresses it with strong willpower, and does not show it.

——In the past few years, San Niangzi managed the house by herself. She has experienced a lot and knows how difficult it is for a man in this world to be outside. Therefore, she will try not to let herself be a burden, and help Fang Rui share some of it.

Of course, this is not to say that Fang Xue is not as good as San Niangzi. To be honest, she loves Fang Rui no less than San Niangzi. It's just that she has never seen such a bloody scene before, and it is disgusting to face it suddenly. It's normal... There are also reasons for each person's constitution...

A little later, the two little girls who were let go had different reactions.

"Brother, uh~"

Because Fang Ling was familiar with it, it was okay, but his eyes were staring straight, his mouth was slightly opened like a goldfish, as if he had died, and he seemed to be surprised when his brother became so powerful.

"Brother Ari..."

Nannan looked at Fang Rui with timid eyes. Seeing Fang Rui looking over, the little girl subconsciously shrank her neck and took two steps back.

In fact, it was because she was familiar with Fang Rui. If other people killed people face to face like this, the little girl would probably scream in fright.

"Ling'er, Nannan..."

Fang Rui smiled wryly.

He has actually been quite restrained.

It is necessary to use heavy methods to deal with it, which is necessary for deterrence; and considering the psychological endurance of Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan, they have tried their best to avoid blood splashing, otherwise... Fang Xueshi must not be the only one who vomited.

"Ninny, don't be afraid!"

At this time, the third lady got up, pulled her daughter with one hand, and Fang Rui with the other, not caring about the warm blood on it.

Yes, just holding Fang Rui's blood-stained hand, Fang Rui saw in her eyes all understanding and admiration, not the slightest bit of disgust.

"Ninny, you can be afraid of bad guys, but you can't be afraid of you, A Rui, just because you killed the bad guys... This will make you sad..."

The third lady looked at her daughter and said earnestly, "You brother A Rui is protecting us. He is our hero, the hero who beats the bad guys. We can't let the hero who protects us be wronged and bleed and cry, right?"

Nannan tilted her head, thought for a while, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, mother, I understand."

"Brother A Rui, you are a hero, beat the bad guys... Don't be afraid, my daughter!"

She raised her head, looked at Fang Rui with her big clear eyes under the moonlight, took a step forward, stretched out her other white and tender hand that was not held by the third lady, and held Fang Rui's hand in the same way.

The three formed a circle.

Under the bright and clear moonlight, in the night wind mixed with sobbing and cursing, at this moment, they looked like a family of three.

"Third sister, you are really..."

At this moment, Fang Rui's heart was quite shaken, because of San Niangzi's educational philosophy: I didn't avoid talking about my daughter because she was young or the scene was bloody, but she learned the truth...

'Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this girl, Nannan, is sensible beyond her age! ' he thought to himself.

"Brother, I'm not afraid of you either!" At this moment, Fang Ling, who was like a tadpole of a mosquito coil, finally came back to his senses, rushed over, and squeezed into the middle of the three.

Then, she was pulled aside by Fang Xueshi's ears: "Don't bother your brother... Also, calm down, today's new clothes are dirty again..."

Apart from her pale face, she also felt much better at this moment, she looked at Fang Rui, "Brother Rui, are you alright?"

"It's okay, mother, third sister, let's go!"

Fang Rui looked at Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi, and then at Fang Ling and Nannan. Under the caring eyes, there was an indescribable warmth surging in his chest, as if there was no one in this deep, dark, and boundless night of evil. nothing.

……

Afterwards, Fang Rui held the blood-stained simple knife and swaggered ahead to open the way. He led Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannai on the street, and no one dared to touch him.

Even if the government officials saw them, they would stay far away.

……

There was no more trouble along the way, and I returned to Liushu Alley safely.

unlock.

Entering the house, it can be clearly found that there are traces of thieves breaking in over the wall.

"Hey, this is really..." Fang Xue was impatient and wanted to check what was missing.

"Mother, wait! Let me check first... Besides, didn't all the slightly more expensive things in our house be put into the cellar yesterday?"

Fang Rui stopped Fang Xueshi, went to check it first, and after confirming that there was no danger, he let Fang Xueshi, Third Lady, and two little girls go in to gather things.

"I lost a kitchen knife, two sacks, and lamp oil..." Fang Xue babbled.

In short, it's all trivial things.

As for the big items, as Fang Rui said, they were basically kept in the cellar, so nothing was lost.

cellar.

Fang Rui moved away the pile of boulders, scraped open the hay paved by the entrance, entered it, brought some cornmeal and sorghum noodles to the yard, and waited for a while to take them away.

In the inner room, in the light of the jumping fire, Fang Xueshi and San Niangzi went back and forth, packing up their things; the two little girls also joined in the fun, gathering up some gadgets that they couldn't take away yesterday.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by a tentative shout: "Brother Rui, are you at home?!"

"Uncle Changlin?"

Hearing the voice, Fang Rui recognized who was coming: "Mother, third sister, you are packing up in the back room, take your time, don't rush...I'll go out and have a look."

He explained, went to the main room and opened the door.

"Brother Rui, it's really you!"

When Uncle Chang Lin saw Fang Rui, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I see that your house is bright, so come over and have a look, as long as it's not a thief... I saw that the door of your house is locked during the day today, where are you going?"

After Song Dashan's incident, Fang Rui's impression of clear grievances and grievances was deeply rooted in people's hearts. It was precisely because of this that he came here to take a look, trying to sell a favor... Otherwise, it was probably 'more is worse than less'.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin. During the day, we are in another courtyard in the city..."

Fang Rui said something vaguely, then asked back, "Uncle Chang Lin, what's going on with the blood on your body...?"

"In the afternoon, I was pulled by a strong man and went to the top of the city... In our willow alley, the men left in the houses of the remaining people basically went... I even moved a stone and killed a peace thief!"

"However, they are not necessarily Taiping thieves. I see that they are dressed in tatters, and they look more like refugees captured by the Taiping thieves... Those thieves are very cunning. If they don't get on their own, they drive away the captured refugees... "

Obviously, for ordinary people like Uncle Changlin, being arrested and guarding the city is a rare and shocking event in a lifetime, and this kind of experience can be remembered for decades.

Therefore, it is not surprising that when he said it at this time, his eyebrows were beaming, he was dancing and gesticulating, and he was quite out of control.

"Is it?!"

Fang Rui followed the words: "I've grown up so much, I've never seen a war before! Uncle Chang Lin, you have been to the top of the city, how are you? Did you see that there are many Taiping thieves today?"

It is rare to meet a person who has witnessed it, so he naturally wants to inquire about it to get more detailed information.

"Why aren't there many?! Whoa, it's a huge area, and there are many people... Under the city wall, blood is everywhere..."

Maybe it was scratched to the itch, or maybe it was aroused to talk, Uncle Changlin opened the chatter box: "...there are also warriors who climb up and down the ladder, but they are basically blocked by people from rich families. ...We just move rocks and push them down...Your Uncle Mantang and I are separated, not far away, his legs are weak, and he almost fell headfirst, I'm fine..."

"This is courage! Uncle Changlin, you are amazing..."

Fang Rui sighed in admiration, and secretly extracted useful information in his heart: "First, the battle was fierce; second, there were many Taiping thieves, and they also arrested and raided many refugees, and drove them away to attack the city..."

"The Taiping thief came this morning... no, maybe earlier, last night... Uncle Zaohuai, Uncle Fuquan, Uncle Baishi... These people also left the city yesterday, and they may just bump into... those who were driven to attack the city Among people, maybe there are them...'

'Going out of the city, obviously to avoid the strong men, but just out of the tiger's den, and into the wolf's den, this world is really tricky... The people at the bottom... Sigh! ' he sighed inwardly.

"Uncle Chang Lin, how about the casualties of the officers and soldiers in our city?" Fang Rui asked again.

"Fortunately, we went in the afternoon. Most of the people who attacked the city were expelled ragged refugees. Few climbed to the top of the city, and there were few dead on our side... I heard that it was miserable in the morning... the bandit army The warriors made a surprise attack, climbed the city wall, and eight out of ten of the group of people who were dragged away in the morning died..."

Uncle Chang Lin rejoiced and said: "I heard that in our alley, Liu Liu was originally in charge of military service, but he died for some reason... Delayed for a whole morning, and a batch was postponed. We went in the afternoon, but the It's not so cruel anymore..."

"Anyway, thanks to the person who killed Diarrhea Liu, I don't know which hero it is..."

"That's it!"

Fang Rui nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, he killed Diarrhea Liu last night and indirectly saved many people in the nearby alley.

The two chatted for a few more words.

The excitement passed, and when the night wind blew, Uncle Changlin calmed down, recalled his situation, and said with concern: "...tomorrow, we have to go to the city...Brother Rui, I don't know if we can see you again ,Take care ah!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Fang Rui looked at Uncle Changlin's lonely leaving figure, and couldn't help but think of Uncle Zaohuai and others who were out of the city. He closed his eyes, and heard the howling and mourning sounds brought by the night wind, just like the weeping of the times.

"This is the way of the world!"

There were thousands of emotions in his heart, and in the end it turned into a long sigh, which floated not far away, and was submerged in the huge darkness, covered by the sound of the wind.

Not long after.

Fang Xue and San Niangzi packed up their things, Fang Rui restored the arrangement outside the cellar and locked the door.

Just like last night, he carried two big sacks of grain and other heavy objects, while Fang Xue and San Niangzi left Liushu Alley with light burdens on their backs, each pulling a little girl.

……

Nothing happened all the way, back to Tianshuijing Hutong.

Wash up separately.

The two little girls, Nannan and Fang Ling, held hands and ran to Fang Rui's room together without discussing with Fang Rui after washing up.

"Brother Rui, you sleep with the two girls and tell them stories, so as not to be disturbed by the noise outside at night... Just in time, the third girl came to talk to me..."

Fang Xue took the third lady into the house.

Of course, this was just an excuse, she was just afraid that Fang Ruike would toss around hard, not restrain himself, and hurt his body at a young age.

"Am I that unconscious?"

Fang Rui naturally saw Fang Xueshi's intentions, he was amused and embarrassed at the same time, shook his head, washed up, and went back to the room.

As for going to the black market?
Now, it is unnecessary.

With Lord Tiger's sponsorship, there is no shortage of money, so there is no need to sell finished medicines; there are all the supplies at home, and you can't buy much on the black market...

Of course, the most important thing is: the city is getting more and more chaotic, so he has to take care of his home so that he can feel at ease.

The bright moon is bright, and the clear moonlight shines through the window, falling on the bed like frost.

Fang Rui's gentle storytelling voice covered up the sobbing and cursing outside the window, and the two little girls, Nannan and Fang Ling, fell asleep in such an environment.

After covering the stomachs of the two little girls, he also closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

until--

In the middle of the night, he woke up suddenly in the sound of shouting and killing from the direction of the city gate.
