This courtyard is a bit familiar, especially the pair of stone street lamps. Ma Xingkong is sure that he has been here before, and it is really Wu Xiaoren's home. After hearing the noise outside, Ma Xingkong leads the way, Shitou carries Heiwa on his back, and Liu
After the fifth break, a few people wandered around the yard, looking for a way out.
"Wangwangwang..." Wu Xiaoren's two German dogs barked desperately, alarming several servants.
When they went out and saw the fire all over the city, they were all shocked. Wu Liu shouted through the window for a long time, and Wu Xiaoren reluctantly agreed. By the time Wu Xiaoren came out, Scar was already here.
Scar was a little gloating: "Second Master, it's really lively tonight, the lanterns for the Lantern Festival have been lit!"
"Who did it?"
Scar shook his head: "I haven't caught anyone yet, maybe it's Wang Tianzong's men! These people are restless guys, and it's not surprising to do anything!"
Wu Xiaoren picked up the hookah and started smoking: "Keep an eye on your men, no one is allowed to come out!"
"I know!" Scar chuckled.
Wu Liu hurried in: "Sir, Battalion Commander Liu is here with his people. He said that the thief who set fire to the house entered our yard. He wanted to search but I stopped him. Look..."
"Fart!" Scar said: "Second Master, these guys are obviously here to cause trouble, I will send them away!"
"Wait a minute!" Wu Renxiao smiled: "Since we didn't do it, it's okay to let them search. Lao Liu asked them to search, and watch them don't disturb the family!"
Wu's Mansion is not too big, and Ma Xingkong was able to find the road after he came here once. After twists and turns, he came to a small courtyard, put his ear against the wooden door and listened to the noise inside. He looked around again to make sure there was no one there.
Then he jumped over the wall, entered the courtyard, opened the door, and let Shitou and others in.
Cui'er was awakened by gunshots outside. She heard someone enter the yard, took out a pair of scissors from the kang cabinet and held it tightly in her hand. She huddled in the corner and shivered.
"Tweety!" A longing voice suddenly came in from outside the window. Tweety's heart skipped a beat, and the scissors in her hand fell to the kang.
The door opened, and Ma Xingkong's square face with Chinese characters appeared in front of Tweety's eyes. His thick eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and the fleshy ball between his eyebrows were already the size of rice grains. Tweety's tears were falling.
fell on his chest.
"Hurry in! Someone is coming!" Liu Wu urged from behind. Several people rushed into Cui'er's house, and Liu Wu hurriedly closed the door.
Tweetie kept looking at Ma Xingkong, just crying silently. Shitou put Heiwa on the kang. Heiwa was already unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Seeing Tweety just looking at Ma Xingkong, Shitou was a little anxious:
"Still reading? Do you want some? Hurry up and find some!"
Ma Xingkong also reacted and urged Tweety. Tweety was a little dizzy now and was rummaging around in the room for a long time. After searching for a long time, he said: "No!"
Liu Wudao: "Heizi has a lot of blood. He needs to stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise..."
"Bang bang bang!" Someone knocked on the door, and Wu Liu shouted outside the door: "Madam, someone may have entered the yard, please be careful!"
Ma Xingkong touched Tweety. Tweety said hurriedly: "No, no!"
"Oh fine!"
Listening to the footsteps walking away, Liu Wu found a broken step in the house, tied it to Hei Wa's leg, temporarily stopped the bleeding, and asked Cui'er: "Girl, do you know there is medicine in Wu Mansion to treat knife wounds?"
Just do it!”
Cui'er stopped crying, wiped her tears, thought for a long time and said, "There may be one in the housekeeper's house. I saw it used by the servants!"
Liu Wu opened the door gently, stuck his head out, looked outside, and ducked out. Ma Xingkong followed closely behind. "Brother!" Cui'er shouted softly, and Ma Xingkong stopped at that time:
"Be careful!"
The housekeeper's house was in the front yard. Ma Xingkong led Liu Wu to the front yard according to Cui Er's instructions, and followed the moonlight to the front yard. The yard was full of officers and soldiers, with three steps, one post, and five steps, and there was no chance at all.
Liu Wu cursed: "Damn it, Fatty Liu moves really fast! Brother, I'll divert the troops away, you hurry up and find the medicine!"
Without waiting for Ma Xingkong to agree, Liu Wu suddenly rushed out from his hiding place, stabbed the officer closest to him, turned around and ran towards the courtyard wall. "Ah...!" The screams of the officers and soldiers alarmed the people.
People nearby: "Over here! Bang!" gunfire rang out. Ma Xingkong watched Liu Wu climb over the Wu Mansion wall and run away amid the gunfire. The officers and soldiers chased him out the door, shouting.
Wu Xiaoren watched Fatty Liu leave angrily with a dark face, and scolded Wu Liu: "The people who care for the home are all people who have to work for a living. Someone really dares to enter my home. Check, check for me, who is on duty tonight?"
!”
Ma Xingkong saw the opportunity, got into the room that Cui'er mentioned, rummaged through a drawer and found a few packets of powdered medicine, hurriedly stuffed it into his arms, opened the door and ran to the backyard. The courtyard of Wu Mansion was already in chaos.
It turned into a pot of porridge, and all the nursing staff stood in the courtyard. Wu Xiaoren sat on the Taishi chair and watched Dao Scar whip the people lying on the ground.
Ma Xingkong knocked on the door twice, and Cui'er opened the door. Ma Xingkong poured the powdered medicine in his arms on the table, rummaged through the stones for a long time, and finally found some medicine for knife wounds, and sprinkled it on Hei Wa's wound.
Hei Wa snorted, and the bleeding slowly stopped under the influence of the medicine.
Ma Xingkong breathed a long sigh of relief. Cui'er helped Ma Xingkong wipe the sweat from his forehead, and Ma Xingkong quickly dodged away. Cui'er's tears came out again, and her legs softened and she knelt down to Ma Xingkong.
He said: "Brother, Cui'er can't help you in this life. In the next life, I will serve you like a cow and a horse!"
Shitou hurriedly turned to look at Hei Wa. Ma Xingkong pulled Tweety up and said, "I don't blame you, it's my brother's fault! Don't worry, sister, I will definitely kill Wu Xiaoren to avenge you!" Tweety cried even more.
incredible.
Without waiting for Cui Er to say anything else, Ma Xingkong walked to Shi Shi, looked at Hei Wa and his wounds, and saw that the bleeding had stopped. He patted Shi Shi and said, "Brother Shi, we can't stay here for long, let's leave quickly!"
Ma Xingkong was about to leave, and Cui'er shed more tears. Shitou couldn't bear it, so he asked Ma Xingkong to comfort Cui'er. Ma Xingkong sighed, not knowing what to say, so he could only shake his head. Instead, he urged Shitou
With Hei Wa on his back, he hurried away. After leaving Cui'er's yard, Ma Xingkong looked back at Cui'er who was standing in the door, and saw that Cui'er was also looking at him, with their eyes facing each other. The man's eyes were filled with tears. He hurriedly
Turn around and don't let Cui'er see you.
Shitou said: "Brother, I think we should take Miss Cui'er away?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "Not everyone can live a life like ours. It might be a good destination for her to stay here!"
After leaving the Wu Mansion, Ma Xingkong turned around and avoided the soldiers and civilians who were still fighting fires and patrolling. He looked specifically for some back streets and alleys. The sky was already brightening, and Ma Xingkong returned to his small courtyard. Liu Wu had already returned.
Unscathed, Ma Xingkong was even more impressed by Liu Wu.
After struggling all night, the fire was extinguished. All the shops facing the street were burned to ashes. A large group of shopkeepers and shopkeepers gathered at the gate of the county government, beating the big drum left over from the Qing government, shaking the entire Hun River.
