Chapter 13 Buying wine to welcome guests, willing to die as a confidant

However, when General Liu uttered some forceful words to Shen Sanxuan, Feng Xi knew that there was no hope of escaping from the cage, so she panicked, became dizzy, and fell down on the sofa chair.Shen Sanxuan watched helplessly, but he didn't dare to step forward to help.General Liu stroked her forehead with his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of familiar doctors, just call him to have a look." Some guests in the hall immediately gathered around.Shen Sanxuan didn't dare to hang out with rich people, and still retreated to the guard room outside to listen to the news.In less than 10 minutes, a western doctor came and rushed to the room.Once, the doctor came out, and he said: "After taking an injection and pouring down a lot of wine, the person has already turned around. As long as he rests for a night, he will be like a good person tomorrow." Shen Sanxuan heard the news , I just dropped a stone in my heart, as long as she doesn't have to worry about her life, it would be better to recuperate here for a few days.But she hesitated in her heart, she was dizzy, should she tell her sister-in-law?At this moment, General Liu sent a horse to come out and say: "It doesn't matter if you are a person. Go back and call her mother. The general has something to say to her." Aunt Shen.When Aunt Shen heard this, her heart jumped wildly.I found a lot of locks, big and small, and locked the box and even the door.Get out of the gate, hire a rickshaw, and come to General Liu's house.

It was late at night, and the guests at General Liu's house had all dispersed.A Ma Bian led Aunt Shen to the upper room, and then an old woman led Aunt Shen upstairs.There is a straight corridor in front of this building, and inside a glass window with double crosses, there is a purple curtain hanging. Looking at the bright lights through the window, with bright colors, one feels that this is not an idle place.Passing through the main room through the main entrance, there is a double hanging green curtain next to it, and the old lady led her in again, and saw that the inside was resplendent and magnificent, and the furnishings were very gorgeous.There is a copper bed on the top, and the upper half of the railing has been removed.On the ceiling, hung a pair of pendant-shaped curtains, covering the bed.Looking at it from a distance, the electric light was reflected, and the tent was as if there was nothing there, and Feng Xi was lying on his side inside, and two women in white clothes were sitting and guarding her in front of the bed.Aunt Shen has seen it before, this is someone from the hospital.Aunt Shen wanted to go forward to lift the curtain, but the nurse shook her hand and said, "She is asleep, don't disturb her. It is very dangerous to wake her up." Seeing the solemn attitude of the nurse, Aunt Shen had no choice but to Without going forward, he asked the old lady, "Is this your general's house?" The old lady said, "No! It was our wife's room. Later, when my wife returned to Tianjin, she passed away in Tianjin. This house is still here. The old lady Ma'am, look at how nice this house is. If your girl is with our general, it will be a good fortune." Aunt Shen was silent, because she asked, "Where is General Liu?" .Maybe late today, I can't go home, he often holds meetings until dawn." After hearing this, Aunt Shen felt a little relieved.But sitting in this room, first the female nurse was not allowed to disturb Feng Xi, and when Feng Xi woke up, the female nurse was not allowed to talk too much.After staying together until midnight, the two female nurses went out to sleep. The old lady brought two couch chairs, sat on one with Aunt Shen, and said softly to Aunt Shen: "Our general ordered you to come here. Stay with your girl, but don't let me talk too much. If you have something on your mind, talk to our general face to face when our general comes back." When Aunt Shen arrived here, she didn't know what was going on, so she was naturally afraid. If you talk more, you don't talk too much.

The summer days are short and the sky is almost dawn, Feng Xi got enough sleep and was already very awake, so she got out of bed and shook Aunt Shen.When she woke up, Feng Xi pointed her hand at the old lady, shook it again, and then said softly: "I have to pretend to be sick, and I can't go out. Go ask Uncle Guan's family later, see him Is there any other way to save me?" When she said that, the old woman turned over on the couch, and Feng Xi slipped onto the bed.

Aunt Shen has something on her mind, how can she sleep!At about six or seven o'clock, I only heard footsteps outside the window, and someone shouted: "The general is here." The old woman turned over and sat up, shaking Aunt Shen again and again: "Get up, get up!" When the aunt got up, General Liu had already entered the door, and she seemed to see two people in short yellow clothes standing there outside the green curtain, and she was about to question General Liu a few words, so she was completely frightened back.It was General Liu who pointed at her with the long-handled folding fan in his hand and said, "Are you Fengxi's mother?" Aunt Shen said "yes", leaned on the chair beside her, and took a step back.General Liu waved his fan around the room, and said with a smile, "Look, how is this place better than your home? Isn't it better for your girl to live here than at home?" Aunt Shen looked up at him, although He was still smiling, but there was a murderous look in his eyes, no one dared to refute him, he only said "yes".General Liu said: "Maybe you are tired after staying up all night. You can go back to rest and come to me in the evening. I have something to talk to you." After hearing what he said, Aunt Shen took a peek at Feng. Hi, seeing her asleep and not moving, her eyes can look out of the room.Aunt Shen understood, so she agreed to General Liu's words and walked out.

She remembered Feng Xi's words, and instead of going home, she came to Guan Shoufeng's house all the time.At this moment, Shoufeng was doing early morning work in the yard, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Shen walking in, he asked, "You sister-in-law, is there anything urgent to find someone? Look at your face!" Mrs. Shen stood still and smiled. "I'm asking, is there an Uncle Guan here?" Guan Shoufeng said, "What's your sister-in-law's name?" Aunt Shen said, Shoufeng lifted the curtain of the door of his main room, and said to her several times: "Come on! Please!" Come inside and talk." When Aunt Shen saw his situation, she probably was Guan Shoufeng, she followed into the room and asked, "Are you Uncle Guan?" When Xiu Gu heard about it, she came out of the inner room, Smiling: "Aunt Shen! You are a rare visitor..." Shoufeng said: "Don't be too polite, wait for her to talk. I think she has something to say. Sister-in-law! Tell me. If you want my surname to be Guan If I want to help, I will say no, I am not enough friends." Aunt Shen smiled and said, "Please sit down." She also sat down on a square stool by the table.Shoufeng said: "Sister-in-law! It's probably not a trivial matter for you to come to me in person. You say what you say!" When he said that, he opened two big round eyes and looked at Aunt Shen.Aunt Shen couldn't bear it anymore, so she told General Liu about Fengxi's imprisonment.As for the past dealings with Shang's family, they only said one or two vague words.

After hearing this, Shoufeng slammed the table without saying a word.Xiugu poured a bowl of tea for Mrs. Shen, and just as she was putting it on the table, the table shook, knocking the cup down with a clang, splashing water from Mrs. Shen's sleeve.Xiu Gu hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe with her, only to apologize.Shoufeng ignored it, and jumped on his feet and said: "What kind of world is this! In Beijing, where the president lives, they are all so unreasonable. If it is in other places, the common people don't live their lives. There are many good-looking girls on the street. I see..." Xiugu rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Father! What's the matter with you? After shouting and jumping for a while, is it over? Luckily, Aunt Shen listened to him earlier. I said, you have such a temper for lighting firecrackers, otherwise, you will go on in your own home for a while, so what is it?" Shoufeng asked his girl to persuade him, then suddenly sat back and took an old grand master's chair With a clatter, the chair made a big hole, and the people followed the legs of the chair and fell to the ground together.Aunt Shen didn't expect the old man to be so angry, she was stunned, looking at him silently.Shoufeng stood up without saying a word, sat down on a stone bench near the door, rested his chin with both hands, pouted his beard, and was still angry.Looking at the chair, it was dismantled into seven or eighty pieces of wood, and then he let out a snort, and then burst out laughing.Standing there, he cupped his hands to Aunt Shen and said, "Sister-in-law! Don't laugh at me. I'm just like burning gunpowder. No matter how I endure it, I can't change it. But once the incident is over, I forget it. You see, I am angry with this chair right now, and when our girl’s heart hurts later on, we should chatter for three days and three nights.” When she was speaking, before Mrs. Shen could answer, she raised her head and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said: “That’s right. That's how to do it. This is called to act first to be strong, and to attack later to suffer. Sister-in-law! Do you agree or not?" Xiu Gu said: "I will say that I am troublesome again. Come on. If you ask people whether they agree or not, what do they know they agree with?" Shoufeng said with a smile: "Yes, I forgot to tell my sister-in-law. Your girl, if you follow what you said, she will live upstairs. In any case, I can rescue her. But this way, there may be a lot of trouble. You pack up your soft things at the second watch tonight and bring them to me. The corner here is the city wall. I will prepare Two long ropes hang out of the city. I have an apprentice who lives in Dawangzhuang outside the city. Ask him to take you to live for a while. When Mr. Fan comes, he will either take you back to the south, or just live outside the city temporarily. Let's talk then. What do you think?" Mrs. Shen said: "That's good, but my girl is in there, what can you do to get her out?" Shoufeng said: "This is my business, so just leave it alone. I want you to have a simple meal with me. I don’t know if you have the time? It’s not just for eating, I have to invite some friends to meet you.” Shen Da Niang said: “If you leave me with something to say, I will disturb you. You have a meal, but don't bother." Shoufeng said: "It doesn't take much trouble, but I am not asking you." So he reached out his hand in the old bag hanging in the middle of his trouser belt, groped for a while, and took out a one-yuan silver coin. Some scattered copper tickets were handed over to Xiugu and said: "You take the gourd, put two catties of white dry, buy vegetables if you have more, and ask Aunt Shen to help you do it, I will go Bring your senior brothers here." After finishing speaking, he found a blue cloth coat to put on, and went out.

Xiugu tidied up the house, so she couldn't leave Aunt Shen at home alone, and invited her to go out to buy food and drinks.When she came back, Xiugu bought fifty steamed buns, and asked the noodle shop to bake ten catties of homemade cakes, and at twelve o'clock, they took them home.Aunt Shen said: "Miss! How many guests do you have at home? Prepare these food." Xiu Gu smiled and said, "I prepare food for three guests. If there are four guests, maybe there will be a famine."

When Aunt Shen heard what Xiu Gu said, she was only surprised.Accompanying her home, when she was washing the dishes, she heard a burst of footsteps at the door.I saw a person who came first, wearing an old straw hat and wearing it backwards, and a short jacket with all the buttons up to the chest, revealing a black and fat chest.There is also a long-faced pockmarked man and a bald man in the back. They both laughed and called "Junior Sister" and clasped their fists in a bow.In the end was Guan Shoufeng, who came in with a leg of lamb upside down, and raised his hand from a distance, "Your brother Zhou refused to eat our meal for free, and even put a leg of lamb on. Let's burn it and eat it." The leg of lamb is placed on the table under the eaves, leading everyone into the house.Aunt Shen also came in to meet her, and Shoufeng introduced him: the one who came in first was called Kuai Dao Zhou, a sheep butcher;Shoufeng said: "Sister-in-law! I have told them all about you. They are all my good apprentices. As long as they agree to help, they can't say no. My apprentice lives in Dawangzhuang. The family still farms, and because of my face, I will never refuse to eat the steamed corn bread at his house for half a year." When he said that, he pointed to Wang Erbald.Wang Erbald also smiled and said: "Listen, my master is a man of high virtue this year, and he will never wrong you. I have a daughter-in-law, an old lady, and a big sister. I won't go home for a whole month. You can rest assured that the eldest girl lives with us." Jiang Laohai said: "Second Brother Wang! Why do you say such things in front of other people's aunts here?" Baldy Wang said: "Don't be so Tell me! These days, you know people, you know your face, you don’t know your heart. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is going to take refuge in someone’s house, can she not inquire? Let me just say it, so as not to worry people. It’s not nice, but Isn't it better than people wondering?" Everyone laughed when they said this.

After a while, Xiu Gu finished the dishes and put them on the table. There were two large bowls of braised beef in soy sauce, a large plate of fried shredded pork, and a large pot of simmered tofu with old chicken.Xiugu laughed and said, "Senior Brother Zhou! It's too late to make the leg of lamb you sent. It's ready to cook in the afternoon, and I'll serve you noodles." Kuai Dao Zhou said, "What's the matter? Is there still a meal in the evening? Like this, even The junior sisters have all given out heavy rewards. Brother Wang! Brother Jiang! We have to work hard!" Er bald Wang stretched out his head, patted the back of his head and neck with his hands and said: "This big Beijing city, except our master, who knows Ours? For Master, I am willing to leave this bald head behind." Everyone laughed again.While talking, Xiu Gu took out four thick bowls, carried a gourd, poured four big bowls of wine, and said with a smile: "This is for you, master and apprentice, neither I nor my aunt will drink it." The bald man said: "It's delicious beef." As he said, he took a steamed bun and dipped it in the beef juice. He took two bites and ate one first. He lifted his leg, stepped over the bench, and sat down first.Looking at Aunt Shen, he said, "Auntie, sit up, don't joke, our brothers are all rough and don't know etiquette." So everyone sat down, and only the upper seat was vacant.Aunt Shen saw that they were all happy, so she sat down without any excuse.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Shoufeng held a bowl, drank a couple of sips of wine, and then said, "It's not that I can't do great things today, and I want to drag you into trouble. I've read a few books, and I know that there is an ancient saying: 'Scholars are good people. A confidant dies.' People like us, master and master, how can we see it? But this Mr. Fan is different. He made friends with me and saved my old life. When he made friends with me, Not only his relatives don't like it, but even the servants in his relative's house are not pleasing to the eye. I have seen all the children of rich and noble families, and there is no one as open-minded as him. Er bald man, don't you say that no one knows you? I dare He said that if Mr. Fan met you, he would know you. We have to make friends like this. This aunt’s girl is
Mr. Fan's young mistress who has never been married, can we see her suffer? "Xiu Gu said: "Your old man wants the help of the three senior brothers, so he just says he wants help. " Quickly said: "Master!We understand everything, so there is no need for the master to talk about it.The master just doesn't say anything, and asks us to do a little thing, so why should we be embarrassed? "

While talking, everyone eats and drinks.After they drank the wine, they all held steamed buns in their left hand and chopsticks in their right, and they couldn't stop eating.For fifty steamed buns, Aunt Shen and Xiugu only ate four or five buns before they were all gone.Then they went to the noodle shop and brought pancakes. The four masters and apprentices each took a four-two-weight pancake, spread it on the table, mixed chopsticks with shredded meat, put it on the pancake, and then put the pancake on the pancake. Roll it into a fist-sized roll, and eat it with it.After a while, the bread was also eaten.Xiugu put a few bowls of red bean and fine rice porridge in a large bowl, and put it aside to cool. When it was brought to the table, she heard the sound of "sighing" and drank up the porridge again.Aunt Shen sat there, staring dumbfounded.Shoufeng smiled and said, "Auntie! Are you a little scared when you see us eating? Maybe let's loosen the amount, we can eat three to five catties of noodles, and we won't be tired. Otherwise, where does the energy come from for a few hundred catties?" The second bald man stood up and said with a smile: "Master! If you don't say these few words, I really dare not..." He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, he had already brought the old chicken stewed tofu in the earthenware pot, and drank it when the mouth of the pot was right. Finished the remaining soup in one breath, put down the crockpot with a sound of "beep", and said to Xiugu with a smile: "Junior Sister! Don't be angry, it's not good for me to be a guest, so don't let your stomach feel wronged." He smiled and said: "You just eat, no one stopped you. If you don't think it's enough, you still have half a chicken rack, you can take it up and eat it." Wang Erbald said with a smile: "Eat as much as you want, at the master's house, you can also eat it." Not too greedy." So in the basin, he picked up the half chicken bone rack, and dripped the soup and juice all over the table, but he didn't ask, he stood and bent over, chewing the bone.Aunt Shen smiled and said, "Second brother Wang, he is really interesting. I am a person with troubles, so I let him make fun of me." This sentence reminded Guan Shoufeng, and said: "Sister-in-law! You have something to do Please go ahead. I keep you here just to let you meet my disciples, so that you can know that they are not bad people. Please send a letter to your eldest girl privately. Tonight, no matter who you see Whatever, don't panic, if you panic, things will go bad." Shen Aunt listened, thinking in her heart: what the hell are they doing, don't make a big deal out of it.But people have good intentions, so you can't say this.Thank you and leave.

After Aunt Shen left, Shoufeng said to Jiang Laohai: "I should use you first. You go to explore the way first, and I will ask Lao Zhou to follow me to discuss with you." Jiang Laohai understood and left first. Go back, carry the sugar man's burden, and rush to General Liu's mansion.First, go to the gate to have a look. It is in a side alley on the side of the street. There is an open space paved with stone slabs at the gate, surrounded by a horoscope wall. In the middle of the wall, there are several pagoda trees in a row; , one of the biscuits sellers rested in the shade of a tree.There were a few people who seemed to be servants, talking and laughing around Tiaozi.At the gate, two guards with broadswords on their backs stood on the left and right.As soon as he moved, the red and green cloth hanging down from the handle of the knife couldn't be moved, and he felt a murderous look.

Jiang Laohai rested his burden in the shade of a tree, took out a small sugar gong and tapped it twice. Looking at the wall outside the gate, it was all made of polished bricks of the same color. power grid.The wall is even with the eaves, and the wall is the roof.From this wall to the right, turn to the north, and there is a straight alley.Jiang Laohai took the load and walked into the alley. He looked at the wall and dragged it far away. He didn't turn around until the next alley.It is clear that the Liu family's house is directly occupied between two alleys.Carrying a load, I turned to the back of the house, but leaned against someone on the left, and went up the alley.Here is a small corner of the alley, so I rested my burden and looked around.I saw that the power grid on the wall was also constantly implicated, and there were many small iron spikes tied to the wires, and sharp pieces of glass were inserted on the wall.When looking inside the wall, there is a dense branch and leaves, which looks like a small garden. In the middle of the turning, there are three small attics, which are more than ten feet higher than the wall.Three shutter holes were dug in the wall, the windows were tightly closed, and the windows were as flat as the wall, with only three square bricks of granite protruding about three or four inches, and the wire mesh was only pulled across the top of the windows.Jiang Laohai stared in a daze, just scratching his hair.

At this moment, someone "呔" said: "You sugar blower, why don't you beat the gong?" When Jiang Laohai looked back, it was Kuai Dao Zhou walking in front of him.Seeing no one around, Jiang Laohai said in a low voice: "I think the door here is very tight, and it's not easy to get in. There are only three windows on the upper floor, so you can try." Kuai Dao thoughtfully: "Not only this, I Take a look, there are police posts at the entrances of these two alleys, and it is really inconvenient to come and go at night." Jiang Laohai said: "You go back and tell the master, I'm still going around here and there to make more ways out. Take a look at a few." Kuaidao Zhou went, and Jiang Laohai was doing business, and he went around the streets and alleys in front and back of this place.Wait until the sun is about to set in the west, and then pick up the burden and go straight back to Guan's house.

Shoufeng lived with neighbors, but he kept quiet.At dinner, I only said that I had invited three apprentices to eat boiled noodles with lamb shank, and the matter was settled.The neighbors in the courtyard are all small businesses, and they have a good relationship with Guan's father and daughter, so they will not suspect that they are going to do something amazing.After dinner, Shoufeng said that he was going to the Qianmen to listen to a night show, so the master and apprentice went out one after another.Bald Wang Er borrowed two rickshaws and put them at the entrance of the alley.Everyone came out, Wang Erbald and Jiang Laohai each pulled a car, walked outside the small teahouse with a storytelling table, one of them guarded the car, and the three of them went to listen to the book.It was already twelve o'clock after the bookstore was over, Shou Feng and Kuai Dao Zhou each took a car, purposely walked around the streets and alleys slowly.Around two o'clock, the car pulled to the back wall of Liu's house and stopped.

At the corner of this alley, there is a street lamp hanging over a foot high.Looking at this place from the darkness at both ends of the alley, it is very clear.Shoufeng took out a large copper coin from his body, and threw it at the light bulb, only to hear a pop, and his eyes went dark.Shoufeng looked up at the wall of the attic, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, just try the method we discussed." So Wang Erbald stood facing the wall, squatted down, and Kuai Dao Zhou stood up. On his shoulders, he stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, and stretched out his palms. Jiang Laohai stepped on his hands, walked up to his shoulders, then stepped on Kuaidao Zhou's hands, and then stepped on his shoulders, Then stacked into three layers of people.Finally, Shoufeng stepped on Jiang Laohai's shoulder, stretched his hand upwards, and with a slight vertical movement, he grabbed the stone on the window, performed a parrot flip, and grabbed the horizontal seam of the shutter pane with one hand, and squatted down. in the window.The three people under the wall saw him standing still, and the two above jumped off the ground.Shoufeng pinched the louver on the window with his hands, and just kneaded it, and one piece became fine powder.After breaking a few pieces in succession, a large louver was broken.Grasp the crack of the window with the left hand, reach in with the right hand, open the iron hook and the upper and lower latches, and open a window.With a flash of the body, the two doors open together, and the ground on which to stand is large.Inside the shutters are glass windows, also closed.So I took out a glass cutting needle that I had prepared on my body, first cut a small hole in the glass, squeezed it with my hands, and then cut it off in one piece, and then removed two pieces of glass, so that people can lean in up.

Shoufeng crawled in backwards, and looking around, it was an empty building.So he opened the window, untied a hemp rope tied around his waist under his clothes, and threw it to the wall. The quick knife below took the rope in his hand and came up.The two still closed the shutters facing outward, and went downstairs to find their way.It really is a garden here, but there are deep weeds everywhere, it seems that no one has managed it for a long time.Find a road in the wild grass, pass the road, pass through a rockery, and you will find a low wall.Slightly stretched from the rockery and stood on the low wall.Once Shou Feng stood still, he quickly squatted down.It turned out that across the wall was a row of lean-to houses, brightly lit by electricity.Through the window, the sound of knives and spoons, dishes and dishes can't be heard.At the same time, there was a smell of oil blowing along the wind.Observing the above, it is clear that this is the kitchen.Kuai Dao Zhou also squatted beside him at this time, pulled Shou Feng's clothes, and said softly: "The kitchen is still making food at this time, how should we do it?" Shou Feng said: "You don't have to make a sound, just follow me. After squatting for a while, I heard the sound of pushing the door, and then someone asked: "Grandpa Li! Is it time to serve porridge?" Another person said: "Porridge is not allowed, you should prepare some noodles, then Miss Shen is still negotiating with the general." Another one said: "What Miss! She's just a little girl who sings big drums." Shou Feng was taken aback when he heard this.Why do you still have to eat noodles to start negotiations?Is there any room for redemption?
Shoufeng stepped over the ridge and walked forward along the back of the ridge of a row of box houses.I saw a Western-style building rising head-on. The back of the building was a high wall with even eaves. There were ten windows up and down, some of which were emitting light.Looking from a distance, the light on the glass window is reflected in green, in red, and in white.Only on the window, it can be distinguished that the glass window is a room, and the two places share a room. The place with light, of course, is where someone is.Looking from a distance, the red light is emitted from upstairs, and in the space outside the building where the light shines, there is a cluster of black shadows, covering the light.Where there is light, it can be seen that it is a horizontal leaf. There is a thick horizontal stem in the leaf, but it is stretched from the yard next door.When I looked back at the other courtyard, there was an old locust tree towering above the clouds.Shoufeng was overjoyed, this is an excellent ladder.So he stroked the tile ditch with his hand, and he walked like a snake.When I got to the eaves, I looked forward and saw that the yard was dark and there were no lights on.So he slipped down, landed with both hands first, and pulled a big tripod. There was no sound at all, and the two feet fell down, and the person stood up.Kuai Dao Zhou was still squatting on the eaves.Because the light from the window is blocked by the horizontal branches and leaves here.The big pagoda tree on the edge of Shoufeng Peak, when I got to the middle of the tree, I saw the end of the horizontal trunk, so I hung upside down, with my hands and feet stretched out, and the edge reached the tip, and I saw that it was two or three feet away from the glass window. Inside the glass, there are two extremely thin red gauzes hanging down. From the outside, you can only see some faint furnishings in the room.There seemed to be a large mirror suspended in the middle of the wall, where the electric light was reflected.This is quite similar to the room where Aunt Shen said Feng Xi was locked up.It's just that there are other people in this room with me, but I can't tell.So while listening to the noises in the house, I looked at where the light wires in the house came from.

Only in this silent time, in the silent and cool air, there was a strong smell of opium smoke.I used my nose to sniff the place where the smell of smoke came from, but it was downstairs.Shoufeng heard Mrs. Shen once said that General Liu would smoke opium. He was in the upper room, so that he could smell the smoke late at night. Of course, this was not something other people did.Then I looked down at the terrain, and found that it was about two feet away, so I coiled up to the treetops, let the horizontal trunk sink down, and then let go, and gently landed on the ground.Turning right along the wall is a corridor attached to the wall.As soon as he got here, he heard footsteps behind him, and he couldn't be careless, so he quickly jumped to the top of the corridor and lay flat on it.Sure enough, two people came over to talk.People passed by under the corridor, with a smell of oil and sauce, which probably sent dinner.When people passed by, Shoufeng raised his head, but saw light coming from a vent hole on the wall of the building, standing on the top of the corridor, looking around.This is an ancient coin-style lattice, but the small glass fan inside is put aside, and only the front half of the bed can be seen from the outside, and it really is a person lying there smoking a cigarette.The dinner that was delivered just now was not in this room.After a while, a maid in her thirties came in. The man on the bed turned over and climbed up, holding a pipe in his right hand and sticking it straight into his thigh, poking out the tip of his beard with his left hand, and asked with a smile: "Has she eaten? The maid said: "She is eating. Isn't the general going to eat?" The man smiled and said: "Let her eat well. I will go, and she will be embarrassed to eat. She has finished eating , you write me another letter, and I will go." The maid agreed to go.

Shou Feng was very puzzled when he heard this, and when he turned around, Kuai Dao Zhou was looking around in the corridor.Quickly jumped down, pulled him to a secluded place and asked, "Why did you come here?" Kuai Dao said thoughtfully: "I just climbed out of the red screen window to see, it was locked in that room. But the girl Isn't it strange to eat noodles there freely?" Shoufeng complained: "Why are you so careless! You are not playing by leaning on the window to let people in the room see." Kuai Dao said: "Master What's the matter with you? Window screens are used to see the light in the dark. There are electric lights in the room at night, and we are outside the window, just looking in." Shoufeng said "Oh", "I was stunned for a while. .I think there is a ventilation hole in this room, and there must be a ventilation hole in that side. Let's go over there and listen to the talk of that surnamed Liu. It's not sure when he will go to bed. Let's not mess around."

At that moment, the two walked across the double roof ridges, and then went to the courtyard beside the long locust tree, and walked along the wall next to the building.There is no low wall between the wall and the building here, only a small passageway.There is no ventilation hole in the wall here, but there is a small window.Shoufeng estimated that the window was about one person lower than the eaves. He nodded, climbed up the big locust tree, crossed from the locust tree to the roof, then walked to the left side, hooked his feet on the eaves, and a "golden "Hook upside down" style, the person hangs upside down, neither high nor low, just stretched his head through the window, turned his hands upside down, held one side with one hand, pushed open the shutter, and could see clearly in the room.Facing the window, there is a red leather soft sofa chair, a very delicate woman, holding her right knee with both hands, sitting on it obliquely, that is undoubtedly Feng Xi.Looking at her face, she wasn't very frightened, she was looking at the window without turning her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.The maid I saw downstairs took a towel and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "You still need to wipe it off, do you want to put some powder on it?" After wiping it, he lazily tossed the towel to the maid, who took it with a smile.After a while, they took a powder box, a powder jar, and a small mirror, and brought them all to Fengxi.Sure enough, Feng Xi took the powder jar, took out the powder puff, and swung it towards the mirror twice.The maid said with a smile: "This is a powder ointment from a foreign country, don't you need some?" Feng Xi threw the powder into the powder jar and shook her head.The maid casually put the mirror and powder puff on the table under the window.When I looked at the table, there were more than a dozen brocade boxes, large and small.The boxes are also opened and closed.When I looked inside the box, it was shiny, and there were also pearls and diamonds.Next to these boxes, there are two other thick account books and a small pile of Chinese and foreign keys.

Shoufeng saw it outside, and understood a little bit in his heart.Then, just hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned around.It turned out that General Liu came in.He smiled at Feng Xi and said, "Miss Shen! Did you hear what I told them to tell you?" Feng Xi still turned her back and ignored him.General Liu pointed to the things on the table and said: "As long as you are willing, this is worth about 20 yuan, and it is all yours. If you follow me, although you can't say what you want, it will definitely guarantee you a lifetime of happiness. What I did yesterday was a little sorry for you, as long as you promise me, I will save face for you." Feng Xi suddenly stood up, and asked with a straight face: "I have completely lost my face. , Is there any other way to get it back? You locked the girl at home, so you can do what you like?" General Liu smiled and bowed to her twice, and said with a smile: "Yes! It's all my fault. As long as you're willing, let's make a big fuss about our happy event." Feng Xi still sat down and turned her face away.General Liu said: "In the past, I really wanted to treat you as a concubine and just lock you up at home. In the past two days, I have seen that you are very personable and sensible enough to be my wife. Let's formally renew you. Since I'm formally begging you, I have to make a good match. I have a friend, Brigadier Shen, who is also from Beijing. Let him recognize you as his distant sister and marry him. You see, this is enough face. Not enough?" Feng Xi neither agreed nor refused, and still sat with her back.General Liu turned his head and pouted at the maid, who left with a smile.General Liu closed the door, held the two account books on the table in his hands, and walked towards Fengxi.Feng Xi stood up and asked, "What are you doing?" General Liu said with a smile, "I told you, you are an ambitious person, do I dare to mess around? These two ledgers, and the bank's account books on it The booklet and stamp are a small gift from me, please accept it yourself." Feng Xi stepped back, pushed her hand and said, "I don't have such a great fortune." General Liu stepped down Kneeling, holding up the account book and saying: "If you don't take it today, I won't be able to kneel all night." Feng Xi leaned against the sofa and was stunned.He paused for a while, because he said: "If you have something to say, just get up and say it, you are a general, what is this like?" General Liu said, "If you don't take it, I won't get up." Feng Xi said: "Oh! Really! I'm so tired of it! I'll take it over." He smiled sweetly as he spoke.It is exactly: Ruthlessness is the most golden thing, changing the hearts of children all over the world.Shoufeng saw it from the outside, he loosened his feet and fell to the wall, and fell straight to the ground in the corridor.Kuai Dao Zhou saw it on the low wall, thinking that the master had made a mistake, and was taken aback.If you want to know whether Shoufeng is in danger, I will explain it next time.
