Just when the Japanese soldiers were carrying torches and noisily launching a roundup throughout the town, hoping that they would not find any spies, Wei Dayong was looking down from the highest roof of the ancestral hall.

After killing the unlucky Japanese soldier with one shot, Wei Dayong ran along the backyard wall for some distance.

Once he was out of sight of the Japanese soldiers, he jumped over the wall in a running start, and then ran all the way from the top of the wall to the junction of the wall and the roof eaves.

At this time, the ancestral hall had become a mess, and no one paid any attention to the situation on his side.

After Qingtian arrived here, he ordered everyone to gather in the yard and make more noise.

Taking advantage of the commotion below, Wei Dayong jumped lightly and climbed to the roof almost silently.

Without alerting anyone below, he walked forward along the ridge of the roof and hid in the shadow of the intersection of the roofs.

Everything that happens inside and outside the ancestral hall is under his control.

Wei Dayong also clearly heard the conversation between Yao Lin and Yao Baozhang just now, and knew that his parents were not stranded in the town, and were probably separated from each other.

However, things are unpredictable. Maybe the two elders will be lucky enough to survive like Liu Tiezhu.

Wei Dayong felt sad for a while, and he calmed down and stopped thinking about it.

At this time, Qingtian had already ordered 10 search teams to split up and rush to various parts of the town.

Wei Dayong said to himself: The Japanese soldiers are biting everywhere like mad dogs now. If I go down now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide my whereabouts, so I might as well have a good sleep on the roof. You can do whatever you want down there, even if you dig three feet into the ground.

, don’t even think of catching me. After daybreak, if you have made enough trouble, I will find another opportunity to leave Yaojia Town.

After making up his mind, Wei Dayong put his baggage on his head, leaned against the roof, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Qingtian still stayed in the yard, and Chief Yao Baozhang diligently asked someone to bring a grand master's chair and asked him to sit down.

The three corpses on the ground had been carried away and buried. The villagers squatting on the ground were also ordered to sit down and rest along the walls of the yard and were not allowed to move around at will.

Qingtian had already made up his mind. If the search was fruitless, he had one last desperate move, which was to burn down all the houses in the town, leaving only the town office and the ancestral hall. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to force out his opponent.

Thinking this way, Qingtian felt much more at ease.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers responsible for searching the interior of the ancestral hall had completed their mission and returned to the courtyard.

A tall, thick-looking military officer with a sinister face reported to Qingtian that he had searched the entire ancestral hall and found no monks.

Qingtian touched the short beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Are you sure you have searched this place?"

The sergeant replied respectfully: "Hai!"

Qingtian stretched out an index finger and made a gentle shaking motion: "No... I don't think you did it."

The sergeant's face suddenly turned red: "Captain Qingtian! I must reiterate that it is no exaggeration to say that we carefully searched every inch of the ancestral hall, including every tree outside and every room in the house. I can tell you

Your Excellency, I promise that absolutely no one will be able to escape my search under my nose."

"Well...I believe you are serious enough and meticulous enough."

Qingtian said calmly: "But, have you climbed up and looked at the roof?"

"What? Rooftop?!"

The sergeant was stunned: "Is this necessary? I didn't find a long ladder here!"

Yao Lin had been listening to their conversation and couldn't help but interrupt: "Mr. Qingtian, when this place was used to detain people a few days ago, you were worried that someone would escape over the wall, so you had someone take away the only ladder in the ancestral hall.

.The roof here is nearly two feet high from the ground. I can’t believe that someone can climb to the roof with bare hands.”

Qingtian: "Think about it, where did that monk enter the ancestral hall?"

There is a sentry at the gate, and the back door is locked unless... you climb over the wall.

The wall of the ancestral hall is a foot high. Without the help of tools, ordinary people will definitely not be able to climb it with bare hands.

But considering that the monk has great skills, it's not surprising that he might be able to achieve great heights.

If he could climb over the wall, it would not be difficult to climb along the wall to the roof.

Yao Lin hurriedly shouted to Chief Yao Bao: "Quick, Taijun has an order, please ask someone to bring some long ladders here."

Chief Yao Bao had been standing aside with his hands down. He couldn't understand what Qingtian and the others were saying. Suddenly, he heard Yao Lin say he wanted a ladder, and he asked in confusion: "Ladder? Why do you need a ladder?"

Yao Lin didn't answer, and pointed to the roof with his finger. Chief Yao Bao looked at the height of the roof and was a little dissatisfied, but since it was Taijun's idea, he didn't dare to let it go, and immediately asked his men to go get the long ladder.

Wei Dayong, who was staying on the roof, was resting when he suddenly heard someone mention the "ladder" below. He was startled and suddenly opened his eyes: Was he exposed so soon? The kid's mind was spinning very fast!

At this time, Wei Dayong's advantage of hiding on the roof turned into a disadvantage.

When others are at a high place, and the people below have already noticed the roof, it would be okay if they stayed in the shadows. Once they leave the hidden place, they cannot avoid the sight of the people below.

Wei Dayong understood that there were at least a dozen guns under his feet, the muzzles of which were already pointed in his direction.

As long as there is any movement on the roof, there will be a lot of gunfire.

It seems that it will be difficult for me to escape unscathed this time.

Wei Dayong clenched the box gun in his hand and paid close attention to the movement below. He had just seen that there were still 3 bullets in the gun. Which Japanese soldier dared to come up first? He would never come back.

Chief Yao Baochang's henchmen quickly brought some long ladders and put them up to the eaves.

Immediately afterwards, the sergeant gave an order, and there was a sound of pulling the bolt of a gun. The muzzles of a dozen Japanese soldiers were all pointed at the roof, ready to shoot at any time.

Qingtian raised his eyebrows, and Yao Lin understood it in his heart, and shouted to Chief Yao: "The people who called you, come up!"

Chief Yao Bao knew very well that if the monk was really on the roof and he had a gun in his hand, the first few people who went up would be shot as soon as their heads were exposed. Even if they missed, they would definitely lose their lives if they fell from such a high ladder.

Hard to guarantee.

He cursed in his heart: Working with the Japanese soldiers was a life, but mine was not a life. It was clear that the deal was to risk death, so why did it fall on my men?

After a few slanders, Chief Yao kept saying yes with a smile on his face. He turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Did you hear that? Don't do it to me yet! Capture that monk and reward him with 10 Yuan Datou!"

This ocean of white flowers must also have flowers of life!

The gangsters had grimaces on their faces, not daring to disobey orders, and slowly climbed up the ladder.

Yao Lin was urging desperately from below: "Hurry up, move quickly! The monk ran away, you are the only one asking!"

Seeing several ladders shaking constantly, and five or six people already climbing halfway up the ladder, Wei Dayong opened the nose of the box gun and said in his heart: Come on! None of you can survive!

At this moment, two gunshots were suddenly heard outside the ancestral hall, followed by a burst of people's voices, and someone vaguely heard shouting from a distance: "I've caught it, I've caught the monk!"
Chapter completed!
