20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 163: The ugly time·The ebon owl calls its number
Xiaoxiguan, Zizheng was first carved.

After drinking the blood of his enemy, Jiang Xiaodao took the lead, stepped across the threshold, and walked out of "Heshengfang", followed by the others.

The night outside the house was as cool as water, and when a small breeze blew, it was very refreshing, and the strong smell of blood on his body was suddenly reduced by most of it.

Unknowingly, Xiaodao was already at the front of the team.

Whether it is Zhong Yushan and other four brothers, or his two uncles Sun Chengmo and Guan Wei, they all follow his steps in a tacit understanding.

This subtle and silent change is so natural that everyone is already exposed to the fact before they are aware of it.

Not long after walking out, Jiang Xiaodao stopped and whistled towards the dark place at the entrance of the alley.

After a while, the sound of "crunching" wheels came from far to near.

Xiao Xifeng led the blue-capped carriage and trotted all the way to the front. For fear that he would miss something, he quickly handed over the reins in his hand: "Brother Dao, here you go!"

"Ah."

Jiang Xiaodao nodded, then tapped his toes to the ground, sat down on the carriage's horizontal platform, turned around and ordered: "Old Zhong, follow my third uncle and sixth uncle."

Zhong Yushan and others did not know the plans of the "Owl" brothers, and did not dare to ask any more questions, so they nodded and agreed.

Right now, among everyone, Sun Chengmo is the oldest.

Although Xiaodao's behavior just now shocked him, as the third uncle, he couldn't help but step forward to remind him.

"Xiaodao, don't bother me. Remember, don't act out of emotion. No matter what happens, you should complete your task first. Also, don't just go up and do your best. Do you remember?"

Jiang Xiaodao frowned and curled his lips, and said impatiently: "Oh, that's enough, stop complaining! You mumble every day, and my head is buzzing. Let's go, let's go!"

Sun Chengmo smacked his lips, having expected this kid's reaction.

On the contrary, it was his sixth uncle Guan Wei who understood Xiaodao's temper best. He smiled and warned: "Xiaodao, this is the first time you are taking the lead, so don't make your hands wet and make you bald!"

Jiang Xiaodao also smiled and said jokingly: "Come on, you old guys should quickly highlight your tricks!"

After that, Xiaodao raised his hand and waved his whip, driving the carriage towards the east. Looking in that direction, it seemed that he was going to the vicinity of the commercial port.

Watching the carriage go further and further away, Sun Chengmo couldn't help but say: "Lao Liu, you are really right, I really don't understand the trail."

Guan Wei shrugged and said helplessly: "Don't talk about you, I guess even the eldest brother doesn't know what this kid will become!"

"It just depends on whether we can survive this disaster."

"Well, third brother, it's almost time for us to set off, right?"

"Brothers, let's go."

…………

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the night was quiet.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

"The baby's daddy, the baby's daddy!" The woman pushed the sleeping man beside her, "Did you hear anything? It seems like someone is knocking on the door."

The man in charge turned over and cursed, saying, "Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night? It's windy, so go to bed quickly. I have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knock on the door rang again. The man in charge's expression changed and he immediately sat up.

"Eh? It seems like someone really knocked on the door!"

The woman quickly picked up the child, hid behind the man, and said tremblingly: "Besides, this knock on the door is not the door to the yard. Why does it look like the door to our house?"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it?" The man plucked up the courage and shouted, "Who is it? Is it Shunzi? Your sister-in-law and I are both asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Damn it!" The man finally couldn't help it, jumped up from the kang, and found a hatchet next to the chamber pot. "My wife, please look after the child, and I'll go take a look."

"Oh my god, my father, please don't go. What if it's a thief?"

"Nonsense, who steals things and then knocks on the door?"

The man carried a hatchet, put on his sneakers, bravely came to the door, and asked again: "Who is it?"

However, the other party just knocked on the door and received no response.

The man was so frightened that he wanted to kill him. He looked at the old wooden door of his house and thought that if he kept going like this, the other party would probably break in, so he might as well take a look first.

After thinking about it, he cursed in a low voice, then opened the door and cursed loudly: "Fuck you, what are you doing?"

Helplessly, before the man could even raise his hatchet, the black muzzle of the gun was already hitting his face.

The person who came was wearing black clothes for traveling at night, with a black cloth covering his face. He had a well-proportioned body, strong arms, and seemed to be carrying a pole on his shoulders.

"Don't move!" The masked man shouted softly, "Don't scream!"

"Clang!"

The hatchet fell on the ground, and the man shut his mouth quite wisely. But when the woman in the room looked sideways, she immediately screamed in fear.

"Ah! Help! Robbery!"

When mom screamed, the child in her arms immediately cried.

"Tsk!"

The masked man frowned and glanced towards the back room impatiently.

Fortunately, the man in charge had passed the world, so he quickly got up, rushed into the house first, jumped on the kang, slapped his wife in the face, and immediately cursed: "Stop fucking screaming! You Don’t want to die?”

While scolding his wife, the man comforted the masked man and begged: "Brother, don't worry, don't worry! We will listen to your arrangements! Stop fucking screaming and shut up!"

Since the other party didn't show his face, it meant that he didn't want to silence him yet, and was probably just here for convenience.

The man's heart was clear, but his wife didn't know the way here. She was panicked for a moment. It took the boss a lot of effort to calm down, and he shivered and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

The masked man didn't say much. He raised his hand and pointed at the three or four-year-old child in the wife's arms, and said coldly: "Coax him well and don't make any noise."

Fortunately, this child has reached the age where he needs to be enlightened and sensible. With his parents' advice, although the tears still couldn't be stopped, the wails have turned into sobs.

The masked man was very satisfied with this, so he took out a few large coins from his pocket and threw them on the kang. Then he took out some hemp ropes from the package on his shoulders and whispered: "I'll be sorry for a while, don't say anything!"

The couple nodded fearfully.

While drinking tea, the masked man returned to the yard. He suddenly stepped up to his waist, clasped his hands on the eaves of the house, closed his arms and clamped them tightly. Then he swung his body horizontally and climbed onto the roof in the blink of an eye.

The masked man carefully stepped on the roof tiles, and finally spread his legs and rode on the roof ridge.

Looking into the distance, looking from here to the northwest corner, the distance between the two alleys seems to be two worlds.

The streets here are dark and full of old houses; but the streets over there have been replaced with street lights, and the white mansion is like a huge palace - the Bai family mansion.

At the door of the house, as usual, there were several thugs standing there, shivering with folders in their arms, smoking and strolling back and forth.

Just at this time, I heard the sound of drums beating on the Bell and Drum Tower in the city.

"It's almost time to be ugly."

The masked man pulled down his mask—it was Lao Qigong Baonan—then he lay awkwardly on the roof, took out a pair of binoculars, and looked far in the direction of the Bai family mansion.

As the sound from the Bell and Drum Towers spread wider and wider, the black blind man's strong body walked out of the concierge of the Bai family mansion. "Don't be lazy! Be smart!" The black blind man came to the door of the house and scolded loudly, "Don't always boast of your fault, listen? If anything happens, let me know immediately!"

When the little brother who was guarding the hospital agreed, he never forgot to flatter him.

"Brother Hei, don't worry! As long as you are here, we have confidence that nothing will happen!"

The black blind man snorted and shouted: "I'm afraid of you guys, you stupid people, don't hold me back!"

This old man's loud voice was like a loud bell, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"Brother Hei, your voice is too loud. Don't disturb the master and young master."

The black blind man's face changed, his voice did not weaken at all, and he continued to curse: "What a fool, you're still trying to teach me a lesson, do you need to worry about it?"

Everyone quickly smiled: "Brother Hei is right, Brother Hei is right!"

While chatting, I suddenly heard a "flapping" sound above my head, and saw an owl landing on the treetop at the entrance of the courtyard.

"喈喈——刈戈——"

The owl suddenly turned its face, hoarsely and screamed twice - or, rather, laughed twice - and what made people feel even more strange was that the head of this raptor was not just tilted, but It's almost completely turned around, with the mouth at the top and the eyes at the bottom, which makes people's hair stand on end.

According to folklore, owls can smell dead people and are the birds that announce mourning.

Don't be afraid of night owls barking, just be afraid of night owls laughing.

Even a blind man would feel unlucky when he suddenly encountered something like this in the middle of the night.

"Where the hell is that night owl from? Get away from me quickly! Saleng, hurry up!"

Everyone obeyed the order, either poking with bamboo poles or kicking the tree trunks with their feet. However, after working like this for a long time, the night owl "laughed" even more.

"喈喈——刈戈——"

The neighing sound made people panic.

Until the end, I didn't know whether the harassment of these people finally had an effect, or whether the night owl was just tired of playing, and suddenly, "Pulling" jumped into the sky!

This time, it was no longer a low-altitude pass, but a high-flying one.

In just the blink of an eye, the night owl flew far away, and the entire Fengtian City was immediately visible to it.

He flapped his wings and looked down. His sharp eagle eyes saw that at the entrance of the two alleys across the street, for some reason, a dozen people had gathered inexplicably.

Immediately afterwards, the night owl flew forward again, suddenly tilted his head, and was surprised to find a man in his thirties squatting on the roof of an old house, holding a long object in his hand.

"喈喈——刈戈——"

"Flapping!"

Night Owl adjusted his direction and continued to fly into the distance. Below him was a brightly lit but somewhat empty commercial port.

It saw a blue-covered carriage traveling alone on the asphalt road.

Immediately afterwards, the night owl walked straight up and saw a big girl sitting in a wooden wheelchair at the entrance of Fengtian Station of the South Railway, being pushed into the station.

But nothing that happened now failed to arouse the interest of the night owl.

Finally, it simply flapped its wings and flew to the north of the inner city.

Finally, the night owl seemed to have discovered something, so he immediately swooped down and landed on the branch of an old elm tree at a T-intersection with a "thump" sound.

The night owl lowered his head, tilted his head, and looked curiously at the old man standing at the intersection.

The old man was wearing a short coat and leggings. He was standing next to the old elm tree, arranging his movements, tightening the belt around his waist, and then rolling up his sleeves.

Man looks at the eagle; the eagle looks at the man.

"What's wrong? Are you here to announce my funeral?" Jiang Chenghai asked softly.

"Cuckoo - cluck -"

The night owl tilted his head, not understanding, and seemed very alert.

Jiang Chenghai didn't go into details, sneered, and immediately stepped forward.

Just halfway through this step, at the fork in the road, a dark wind suddenly started blowing!

The night owl on the treetop was like an electric shock. With a "swish" sound, it flew away quickly, leaving only two feathers behind.

On both sides of the originally silent street, without warning, a burst of babies' cries suddenly sounded, from more than one family and one person.

The mother quickly sat up from the kang, picked up the baby in her arms, and rocked it gently.

On the street, from time to time, I could vaguely hear my mother's words of comfort: "Well, I'm touching my fur, it doesn't scare me. Are you having a nightmare? Mom is here, Mom is here, um, go to sleep, go to sleep."

The baby's cry soon caused the dogs to bark, and the barks soon became a continuous line, "woof, woof, woof".

Jiang Chenghai rolled up his sleeves as usual and walked slowly along the deserted streets.

Turning a corner, the fierce barking of dogs immediately turned into a wail of "Wooing".

At this moment, on the Bell and Drum Towers in the inner city, the drum beats sounded on time - the fourth watch, the ugly time!
Jiang Chenghai did not speed up because of this, and still walked unhurriedly towards the alley near Xiaoxiguan.

Before leaving, he wanted to take a good look at the city by himself.

Unfortunately, only at night.

After twisting and turning and passing through dark alleys, Jiang Chenghai finally arrived at the meeting point.

As soon as the footsteps sounded, everyone in the alley immediately rushed forward, including four brothers, Sun Chengmo, Guan Wei, and Zhong Yushan.

"Brother, here we come!" Guan Wei greeted.

Jiang Chenghai nodded, without any extra greetings, and went straight to ask, "Is there any news in the Bai family?"

"It looks the same as usual. It's just the little beggar who passed by just now and was driven away." Guan Wei muttered, "But it seems that the black blind man is here tonight."

"Whether he is here or not, we have to fight tonight!" Jiang Chenghai turned to look at the third child, "Where are the second child and the others?"

Sun Chengmo responded: "In that alley in the east, with Sister Hong and the five people."

"Okay, let's go with the original plan. Once the trail is over, we'll start!"

Everyone took out their pistols and responded in unison: "Okay!"

Among this group of people, only Jiang Chenghai, Li Tianwei and Sun Chengmo had experience in smashing kilns, but in the final analysis, that experience was accumulated when they were beards.

To smash a landlord's fire kiln, sheer force alone is enough, but to smash a kiln in a provincial town, there are too many variables. Patrol police, patrol battalions, and the Japanese black hats may influence it at any time. War situation.

In short, there can be no delay and must be resolved quickly.

Everyone waited in the alley for nearly half an hour. Suddenly, a little beggar appeared from behind. He ran forward panting. He didn't know who the people in front of him were. He just reported: "Dao, brother Dao, over there, please." alright!"

There was a hint of relief in the corner of Jiang Chenghai's eyes, he was worthy of being the son of "Owl of the Sea"!

"Brothers, please send word that the kiln has been opened and smashed!"

　Gentlemen, I have a cold. Four thousand for single update, +1=2 for due update.
　　Thanks to Zhanjiuqi and Fantasy Youjia for their reward support!

　　Boss atmosphere!
