Chapter 1 Wedges
Mid-January 1949.

The war of liberation was like a prairie fire on the land of Guangdong. From October to November, Yangcheng, Huiyang, and Bao'an were liberated successively. The police brigade, tax police brigade, joint defense brigade, road protection brigade, and Liangqi regiment originally stationed in Bao'an County revolted. Everyone was revolting and fleeing, but Shatoujiao was the only one still holding the Xiao Tianlai joint defense brigade.

Shatoujiao has a special geographical location and is an important passage to Hong Kong and abroad. In order to avoid border conflicts with the British Hong Kong authorities on the south bank of the Shenzhen River and cause international disputes, the central government ordered the main forces of the Four Fields to advance to Baoan Buji and strive for a peaceful means liberation.

On November 11, the Huiyang Democracy Team Jinzhou Team and the Martial Arts Team Qinghe Team arrived at Shatoujiao, preparing to join forces with the Shatoujiao underground party who had been lurking in Donghe Elementary School for a long time to capture the stubborn Xiao Tianlai alive. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianlai received the news in advance and fled across the border to Hong Kong with a few confidants and a few short guns overnight.

Among Xiao Tianlai's confidants were a pair of brothers, Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowu. They followed him for a short time, but gained his trust. This time when he fled to Hong Kong, he originally wanted to take the two brothers with him, but the two brothers said they could not let go of their parents at home. , proposed to return to the village first, and then go to Hong Kong to meet the captain Xiao Tianlai after a while.

In this way, taking advantage of the darkness, the two brothers returned to their village, Wenchangwei. Instead of entering the village, they bypassed the small river outside the village and came to the outskirts of Landlord Liu's house, far away from the village and close to the tidal flats.

In the grass opposite the gate of Liu's house, two boys in their early ten years were staring at the gate of Liu's house with keen eyes. They were Xian Yaodong and Xian Yaohua. Counting two generations up, their grandfathers were brothers. A generation further back, Xian Yaowu and their great-grandfather were the same.

Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowu tiptoed to the edge of the grass. Xian Yaowu bowed his head in warning. Xian Yaowen crawled into the grass and came to the two children. He reached out and patted Xian Yaodong's arm. "Is there anything going on?"

Xian Yaodong's face turned bitter, "Brother Yaowen, Thunder Tiger is here, bringing two soldiers with him."

Xian Yaowen did not speak when he heard this. He just took out the telescope from the telescope box on his waist and pointed it at the gate of Liu's house. After observing for a while, he put away the telescope, took off two MK2 grenades from his chest and placed them in Xian Yaodong's hand.

"Yaodong, Yaohua, time the clock for twenty minutes. If Yaowu and I don't show up at the gate, you two will throw grenades into the Liu family's yard. After throwing the grenades, go home immediately and ask the villagers to collect the bodies for us tomorrow."

As soon as Xian Yaowen finished speaking, Xian Yaohua, who was lying aside, immediately said: "Brother Yaowen, you and Brother Yaowu be careful."

Xian Yaowen smiled faintly, touched Xian Yaohua's face, then crawled out of the grass and returned to Xian Yaowu. The brothers said nothing, silently checking their equipment and making final preparations before the attack.

One and a half minutes, everything is in order.

Xian Yaowen bowed in front, holding the Thompson M1921 submachine gun in an alert and searching posture. Xian Yaowu followed behind, following the same pattern. No need to say tactical commands.

The two of them advanced vigilantly all the way to the gate of Liu's house. Xian Yaowu continued to be vigilant, and Xian Yaowen stuck to the gate to listen to the movements in the yard.

For a long time, Xian Yaowen didn't hear the sound of anyone moving in the yard, so he raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. He quickly calculated in his mind the angle at which the moonlight would shine down. Then he put his eyes towards the gap in the door and looked at the screen wall opposite.

The edges of the screen wall were smooth, but there were carved patterns and the Chinese character "福" in the middle. Xian Yaowen first observed the moonlight refracted by the character "福", and then looked to the edge to make sure that the moonlight was not mixed with human lights. Then he put his ear against the door and listened attentively. meeting.

After another long period of time passed, Xian Yaowen made a pre-arranged gesture to Xian Yaowu, which meant "no one is in the courtyard." When Xian Yaowu saw this, he immediately squatted down in the corner as a stepping stone. Xian Yaowen fired his gun. Then he stepped on Xian Yaowu's shoulder. Xian Yaowu slowly stood up and sent Xian Yaowen towards the wall.

Xian Yaowen's eyes were as high as the wall. Xian Yaowu stopped moving upwards and put his hands on the wall to keep his body balanced. Xian Yaowen squinted his eyes and glanced around the yard. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, he glanced at the door of the hall.

The door was closed, but orange-red light shone through the gaps between the door axis and the threshold. There was probably someone in the hall. Xian Yaowen thought it should be Lei Hu's two guards.

After observing for a while, Xian Yaowen hooked his hands on the wall and put his left leg on the wall. His hands and left leg were used as fixed points, and his right leg hung downward. Xian Yaowu below grabbed his thigh and climbed up two steps. , a hand borrowed strength from his shoulder, and he climbed up the wall. After observing again, the two brothers hung down from the wall one after another, and the two continued to advance to the entrance of the hall in a guard formation. Xian Yaowen repeated the steps of listening and seeing through, and found out that one of the two guards was napping against a pillar. The other one was sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking. His eyes were a little blurry and he looked like he was almost done drinking.

After getting a clear picture of the situation in the hall, Xian Yaowen moved his gaze to the door latch. His gaze penetrated directly without any obstruction. It was obvious that the door latch was not closed. He pushed the door gently with his hand and found that it could be pushed. He put his mouth to Xian Yaowu's ear and said in a soft voice: "One is sitting on the Taishi chair on the right, leave this one to me, and the other is leaning against the second pillar on the left. , you are responsible.”

Xian Yaowu nodded, put away the submachine gun, took off the blowgun from his back, loaded the blowgun, and adjusted the firing angle. Then he took out the horse dart from the holster, turned on the safety, and put the gun back into the holster.

Seeing that Xian Yaowu was ready, Xian Yaowen also took out his horse card gun, turned on the safety, and loaded the gun. He held the gun in his right hand, touched his left hand to his waist, and two flying knives appeared in the palm of his hand. Then, he nodded to Xian Yaowu.

Xian Yaowu picked up the blowgun and adjusted the angle again. When everything was right, he gave Xian Yaowen a look that said "everything is ready".

Xian Yaowen opened his mouth wide and shouted "three" silently but clearly. After a second interval, he shouted "two" again. After spitting out "one", he used his right foot to kick the two doors on the left and right with skillful force. In the middle, the door immediately opened, and a flying knife in his hand flew straight towards the target's right eye. Before arriving, another flying knife also flew out of his hand, pointing directly at the target's left chest and heart. parts.

As two flying knives flew out, Xian Yaowen kicked his left toe on the ground, and his whole body flew towards the target in an instant.

Click, click, there were two sounds of flying knives entering the hole. Before the target could groan, Xian Yaowen had already come to the target's side, stretched out his left hand, wrapped it around the target's head, and exerted force on his arm counterclockwise. Click. , the target's neck was broken by him.

Gently laying the target on the Taishi chair, Xian Yaowen had time to look at Xian Yaowu, and the other party had already taken care of it.

The two of them came together again and headed to the back house in the form of an alert commando.

When he arrived at the door of the servant's room, Xian Yaowen was on guard with a gun. Xian Yaowu put away the gun, took out the towel hanging around his neck, and took out a bottle of ether from his pocket. By the time he sprinkled the ether, Xian Yaowen had already opened the door. , Xian Yaowu crept into the house, knocked out the two maids inside, then quickly blocked their mouths and tied their limbs.

Afterwards, the housekeeper was taken care of in the housekeeper's room, Landlord Liu and the eldest wife were taken care of in the master bedroom, and the second wife was taken care of in the second concubine's room. When they arrived at the third concubine's room, Xian Yaowen and Xian Yaowu looked at each other - there were actually two people lying on the bed. , a man and a woman, naked, the woman is the third concubine, and the man is actually Thunder Tiger.

Instructing Xian Yaowu to get into the ether, Xian Yaowen complained in his belly: "Fuck, Lei Huotian is the son-in-law of the Liu family, and his own aunt is sleeping with him. Are you still a human being?"

After complaining, Xian Yaowen decisively broke Thunder Tiger's neck and tied up the third concubine.

The two then went to the room of the eldest young master of the Liu family, and after finishing the matter, they went to the second young lady's room, but there was no one there. Then they went to the third young master's room to get the youngest son of the Liu family, which indicated that everyone in the Liu family was bewitched. Halo and tied up.

After everything was done, Xian Yaowen relaxed his tense nerves, took out a "Hulutou" brand cigar produced by Ludi Qinji Cigar Factory, took out a special match, toasted it, lit it, and smoked it. The two of them said calmly: "Yao Wu, go and send the signal for the two boys Yaodong to come over."

"Yes."

After Xian Yaowu left, Xian Yaowen walked out of the third young master's room with a cigar in his mouth, stood in the yard of the back house, looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and said to himself, "The first small step out", and then sighed, missing Family members who are far away and very old.
