Chapter 53

Scarface asked: "Have you two swept that half of the alley?"

Si Sheng's hands were dripping with sweat, but with a flattering smile on his face, "Sweeping...sweeping is done."

Scarface suddenly raised his voice, "Then why are you still wandering around here? Go to the Chenghuang Temple and take a look. There are only two Ngawangs left there."

Going to the City God's Temple? Isn't this just what you want?

Si Sheng grinned and was about to reply, but Scarface scolded Dazhu: "What are you looking at? Let's go deliver food and wine to the second master, and we'll eat for you when we come back."

Dazhu was staring at the wine jar in the man's hand, and suddenly realized that Scarface's scolding was directed at him. He was so frightened that he took a step back and staggered.

Si Sheng hurriedly supported him, nodded and bowed and said to Scarface: "We are not hungry, so you can go ahead and leave the Chenghuang Temple to us, so you can rest assured."

"Brother Scar, hurry up." The people in front got anxious and urged.

Scar responded, looked at Dazhu with disdain, snorted and turned away.

The new ones are all cowards, and they will be fine after a few blood sessions.

Watching Scar walk away, Si Sheng had some doubts in his mind. Shouldn't he take the main street in front to deliver wine and food to the second master? Why should he go through the alley in the back? Isn't that a long way around? Could it be that this is also the first time for the bandit to come here?

Not familiar with the road?

When Si Sheng couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking. He raised his head and realized that the yard where those people came out just now was the backyard of the City God's Temple.

With Scar, Si Sheng and Dazhu Daming generously entered the City God's Temple through the back door. The bandit guarding the gate glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and went straight to close the door again.

Si Sheng and Dazhu were no longer as nervous as before, and they walked calmly into the yard.

Si Sheng recalled in his mind the layout of the City God Temple he saw in the space.

"What are you two doing in a daze? Go help Wangzi in the front yard. You don't need to worry about the back yard." The bandit watching the door shouted impatiently.

Si Sheng hurriedly bowed in response and walked from the aisle next to the main hall to the front yard.

According to Scar, there are only two bandits in the Chenghuang Temple, one in the backyard, so there should be only one in the front yard.

Sure enough, Si Sheng only saw a bandit in the front yard, standing by the gate holding a machete.

I heard that Brother Scar asked them to come. The bandit named Wangzi had no doubts. He pointed to the rooms on both sides and said: "Watch them, don't let people make trouble, let alone let them run away."

Si Sheng and Dazhu obeyed and started circling around the yard with their machetes in hand.

Wangzi was satisfied when he saw that the two of them were walking back and forth diligently without slacking off for a moment, so he went to sit on the steps of the main hall and ate tea by himself.

The people from Si Sheng were roaming in the yard, but their eyes were scanning the door of the wing. The door had a wide gap, but the situation inside the house could not be seen at all from the yard.

Si Sheng was so anxious that it would be difficult to do anything else when Scar and the others came back.

Seeing Wangzi leaning against the pillar in the corridor and closing his eyes, Si Sheng quietly slipped to the door of the wing and looked in through the crack in the door.

There were many men locked up in the room. They were standing, sitting, or squatting in the room. Most of them looked numb. There was a man lying beside the door crying, but his face could not be seen clearly.

Si Sheng glanced at Wangzi from the corner of his eye and shouted into the room: "Why are you crying? You are lucky to be able to go up the mountain and follow the leader."

Wangzi heard the shouting, opened his eyes, looked around, changed his position and closed his eyes again.

Si Sheng felt relieved, lying on the door and looking into the room.

Hearing the shout at the door, all the men raised their heads and looked over. Si Sheng scanned their faces one by one, but there was no Qiangzi.

Si Sheng walked around the yard and then went to the door of another room to take a look.

Dazhu did the same thing.

After a while, they looked through several rooms. The two of them exchanged glances while walking around, but couldn't find it.

Not found? Could it have been... taken care of by the two heads of household? Si Sheng covered his chest.

No, be calm, be sure to be calm!

Si Sheng held the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and put them against his lips, making a smoking gesture.

It should not be wrong that Qiangzi was imprisoned in the Chenghuang Temple. The bandits at the town entrance said it, and the Sixth Master also admitted it himself.

As for handling it, neither the Sixth Master nor the Second Master has been here, so it is impossible to handle it personally.

What if the master's message was handed over to other bandits? From the time when the sixth master said he wanted to kill Qiangzi to when Si Sheng and the others entered the City God's Temple, the time was too short, and the possibility of dealing with Qiangzi was not high.

That Qiangzi must still be in the Chenghuang Temple.

What did the bandit at the back door say just now? You don’t need to take care of this backyard. Si Sheng’s eyes lit up, that means the backyard is also locked up?!

Si Sheng walked to the steps of the main hall, yawned and stretched.

Wangzi, who was pretending to be asleep, raised his eyelids and glanced at him. Si Sheng chatted up and said, "I don't see anyone coming over now. Have they all gone to eat?"

Wangzi ignored him.

Si Sheng seemed to be unconcerned and said: "Brother Scar said that we should watch him in the temple first and then eat with us when he comes back. Is he afraid that something might happen to the person sent by the Sixth Master?"

The man glanced at the backyard, smiled obscenely, and immediately turned serious when he thought of something, "Go and do your thing, don't just join in the fun."

Si Sheng responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay." Then he moved closer to Wangzi and asked with a gossipy face: "Brother Wangzi, do we really not need to guard the fleeing man in the backyard?"

Wangzi warned: "Don't get involved in the affairs in the backyard. It's not a good thing to know too much."

"I don't know much, I just heard people say that Podi Village is fleeing famine..."

"Ba" Before Si Sheng could finish his words, he received a slap on the face. Wangzi glared at him fiercely and said, "If you break your mouth, even the sixth master's tongue would dare to chew anything."

Si Sheng jumped up, raised his hand and was about to return it. Thinking of the current situation, he put down his hand softly, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to do it anymore."

Yang Dazhu had also rushed over. Hearing Si Sheng's words, he stood on the spot with a machete.

Seeing that the two people were angry at first and then scared again, Wangzi snorted coldly and stared at them without saying a word.

Si Sheng and Dazhu obediently returned to the yard and continued their parade.

Qiangzi was locked up in the backyard. Si Sheng covered his stinging cheek and found an excuse to go to the backyard to take a look.

"boom--"

The huge explosion shocked everyone around. It sounded like the sound of a cannon.

"Boom" was heard again, and Dazhu ran over and grabbed Si Sheng's arm. Only then did Si Sheng realize that there would be no cannons in this era.

The sound came from the yard next door, where bandits stored their livestock and trophies.

"The animals are frightened, please come quickly. The animals are still carrying something." Suddenly, several people shouted in unison from next door, which could be heard clearly across the yard.

"Hurry up!" There was another explosion, and thick smoke rose from the yard next door, "The water has leaked, the water has leaked."

When Wangzi heard the shouting, he didn't care about Sisheng and the two, got up and ran out of the door.

Si Sheng and Dazhu were stunned. With a "swish" sound, the bandit guarding the backyard also passed by the two of them and ran out.

Both of them ran away, and now there is no bandit in the Chenghuang Temple.

Si Sheng hurriedly pulled the dumbfounded pillar, ran to the backyard, and pushed the door of the wing violently, but it did not open. The door was locked from the outside.

Si Sheng simply shouted: "Qiangzi, Qiangzi, are you in there?"
