Early the next morning, the drizzle finally stopped.
Shi Shi climbed out of bed and just arrived at the door of the hall.
"Good morning, Gang Leader!" The guards on both sides said politely:
Shitou replied: Good morning, brothers!
He "shaked his head" and kept walking.
He walked to the center - twisting left and right.
After a moment, he lay on the ground doing push-ups and read: 108,109,110...
"Brother, you have done more than a hundred!" Lin Fan and Xu Banxian walked towards them.
Shitou stood up and said: Who told you to stay in the room and wait?
"Brother, have Brother Fu left?" Xu Banxian asked:
Shitou replied: Not yet!
Lin Fan muttered silently: You were earlier today too, in the past...
"Brother Lin, let's run." Xu Banxian called:
"I don't want to run away." Lin Fan continued:
Xu Banxian responded: You are lazier than me.
"Who's lazy! I want to squat on horseback here." Lin Fan replied:
Xu Banxian replied: OK, OK, OK, you squat on horseback.
"Brother Xu, I will run with you." Shitou started to walk and said:
"Eldest brother, third brother, brother Xu, you have been waiting for a long time." Fuxing and his wife walked towards the field and said:
Shitou asked: Brother Fu, have you and your sister packed your luggage?
The eldest lady replied: It’s packed.
"Brother Fu, when you find Captain Xue, you must not go straight to him. You cannot tell him that we are buying weapons to deal with the little devils." Shitou warned:
"Brother, I understand." Fuxing replied:
"Also, if we want to bring weapons back this time, I will send a few more brothers to follow." Shitou shouted:
"Brother, we're just going to Beiping City! Just the two of us can go." Fuxing responded:
"Gang leader, no matter how many weapons you buy! Our couple will return them to the gang." The eldest lady said:
"I believe what my sister says." Shitou said:
"Brother, I'll go get the horse." Fuxing called:
"Sister, if you don't buy weapons when you go to Peking this time! Go to your home and buy some horses!" Shitou ordered:
"You can't buy anything! I'll just go and lead my horse." The eldest lady continued:
Shitou said: Sister, what I want is not just one or two horses, I want more in the future.
The eldest lady replied: This!
"Sister, you just need to understand these things in your heart. Don't tell others, especially your second brother." Shitou said:
"Brother, if you want to buy so many horses, how can you hide it from Master Liu!" Lin Fan said:
"If Mr. Liu knows about it, he won't tell others, let alone spread it everywhere." Shitou responded:
"Master Liu may know! Others will know too! Young Master Kai'er will naturally know too!" Lin Fan replied:
Shi Shi argued: Master Kai'er is straightforward, he doesn't hide things in his heart, it's easy...
"He's easy to fool, right?" Lin Fan interrupted:
"Lin Fan, if you say a word carefully, it will change the taste when it comes to your mouth." Shitou said:
"Yun'er, let's go." Fu Xing led the horse and shouted:
The eldest lady raised her head and said: Gang leader, we are leaving.
"Sister, remember this! Be careful of your second brother." Shitou warned:
"Brother, you really look like an old man, nagging you over and over again..." Lin Fan continued:
"Third brother, why do you say that to eldest brother!" Fuxing accused:
Lin Fan called out: "Second brother, I wish you and your sister-in-law a safe journey. I'll be waiting for you to come back on the mountain - have a drink together."
"Brother Fu, wait!"
Fuxing glanced sideways, "Gang leader Wang came over with a group of brothers" and called out: "Good morning, deputy gang leader!" Good morning, brothers!
"Brother Fu, why didn't you leave without waiting for us!" the second master said:
Fuxing smiled and said: I don't want to disturb you!
"Brother, you and your second sister-in-law should go and come back early." Fu Zi said:
"Zimei, let's go back to the city. It's not like we won't come back. There's no need for you to come out and see us off in person!" Fuxing shouted:
"Master, be careful on the road with the Second Madam!" Xiaojing stepped forward and said:
Fuxing continued: Madam, don't call me - Master, you are already my eldest brother's wife and the gang leader's wife.
Xiaojing argued: Who am I! You are all young masters.
"Brother Fu, take care along the way!" Shitou stretched out his hand and shouted:
"Zimei, Xiaojing, you go in and rest, we will be back in two days." The eldest lady called:
"Brother Fu, take care on the road!" Gang Leader Wang bowed and said:
Everyone bowed and said: Brother Fu, have a good journey!
Fuxing thanked him: Thank you! Thanks! Thank you brothers!
He bowed to everyone and shouted: Yun'er, let's go!
The eldest lady lifted her feet and strode forward.
Fu Xing walked, waved and shouted: Goodbye, brothers! goodbye!
When Shitou saw Fuxing and the others walking away, he said: It will be dinner time in a while, let's practice again.
Gang leader Wang shouted: Brothers, everyone disperse.
Xiaojing called: Miss, let’s go into the house!
Fuzi pulled Xiaojing and said: Let's go.
"Deputy gang leader, come here." Shitou shouted:
Gang leader Wang ran over and said: Gang leader, what do you have to say?
Shitou asked: Deputy gang leader, how many horses are there in our gang?
"There are more than a dozen horses in total, and all the leaders have them." Gang Leader Wang replied:
Shitou responded: "Not much" on a per capita basis.
Gang leader Wang said: This is true.
"If we want to expand the team, we have to increase the number of horses." Shitou said:
"Gang leader, Mrs. Fu is a young lady from the Liu family. It would be better for you to discuss horse matters with her." Gang leader Wang replied:
Shitou continued: I need your advice.
"Gang Leader, I can't give you any advice!" Gang Leader Wang said:
"Deputy gang leader, I'm going to use the Liu family's horse, will you blame me?" Shitou called:
Gang Leader Wang responded: Why should I blame you! I!
"Your uncle..." Shitou muttered:
"His! His horse stable is small. It can't be compared with the Liu family's horse stable. The quality and quantity of the horses are better than those of my uncle's horse stable." Gang leader Wang suddenly said:
"Deputy gang leader, I feel relieved when I hear you say that. I'm afraid..." Shitou smiled and said:
"You don't have to take care of me for such a trivial matter!" Gang Leader Wang continued:
"Gang leader, deputy gang leader, please come in and have dinner."
Shitou replied: We will come.
"Brothers, let's go eat." Leader Wang shouted:
The brothers entered the hall unevenly.
Gang Leader Wang called out: Gang Leader, at Marco Polo Bridge...
"On the other side of Marco Polo Bridge, brothers, just keep an eye on it. No one is allowed to move until Brother Fu comes back." Shitou responded:
Gang leader Wang asked: Gang leader, please!
Shitou said politely: Leader Wang, please!
Five days later at dusk, Shitou stood on the training field—wandering back and forth.
He exhaled and sighed: Hi!
"Brother, you are worried about Brother Fu and the others!" Xu Banxian said:
"Are you not worried? They have been down the mountain for a few days." Shitou replied:
"Brother, Brother Fu and his wife are all good at it, they will be fine!" Xu Banxian responded:
Shitou argued: I'm not worried about their safety, I'm worried about what they have to do.
"Brother's analysis is right. There are almost no people in Beiping who can harm the Fu brothers and his wife, but what they have to do will easily attract other people's attention and be difficult to handle." Xu Banxian continued:
"That's how it is!" Shitou echoed:
"Brother, Brother Lin and I went down the mountain to meet them." Xu Banxian said:
Shitou responded, "No, it's not appropriate to do this with too many people. Too many people is a bad thing."
"What if they can't handle it!" Xu Banxian muttered:
"What's going on? I can't speculate too much. With Sister Liu gone, I'm a little more sure. I have the support of the Liu family..." Shitou said:
"Brother, it turns out you have already made your plans." Xu Banxian replied:
Shitou continued: Planning is planning, but I am afraid that things will backfire.
After all, God's calculation is better than that of man.
"Brother, you are worrying too much, God is in people's hearts..." Xu Banxian responded:
"I can't believe it when these words come out of your mouth." Shitou smiled and said:
Xu Banxian said: Brother, don’t make fun of me!
"Brother, it's getting late, let's go back to eat." Xu Banxian continued:
"Tick tock tick"
"Who's riding the horse!" Stone called:
Xu Banxian then said: I don’t know!
Shitou stared and "looked left and right" and said: It seems to be at the bottom of the mountain.
"Brother, everyone is waiting for you to eat!" Lin Fan shouted, holding a lantern:
"Come here." Shitou shouted:
"Brother, we are back." Fuxing shouted:
Shitou turned sideways and said: Are you Brother Fu?
"Brother, it's me. Yun'er and I brought some things back." Fuxing replied:
"Brother Lin, come here quickly with the lantern." Shitou shouted:
Lin Fan held up the lantern and said: Second brother, you and your sister-in-law come in to eat.
Lucky Star responded: These horses and things...
"Brother Fu, let's move in after we go in and finish eating." Shitou said:
The eldest lady said: In vain, if these horses run away!
Shitou pointed at the guard and said: Those two brothers are here, they will take good care of them.
The eldest lady continued: It’s still inappropriate.
"Lin Fan, go and ask some brothers to come out and move things." Shitou shouted:
Lin Fan turned around and said excitedly: "Okay!"
Shitou held the lantern and asked: Brother Fu, how many horses did you bring back this time?
"We are bringing something back this time, and we are only bringing back five horses." Fuxing replied:
"Not bad, not bad." Shitou praised:
"Brother, we bought four boxes of grenades and two small steel cannons." Fuxing said:
Shitou thanked you: On behalf of the brothers, thank you!
"Brother, why are you so polite between brothers?" Fuxing responded:
"Gang leader, we originally wanted to buy a gun, but we thought..." the eldest lady called:
"Gang leader, you and Brother Fu go in to eat, leave this place to us." Head Six led a group of brothers towards the training ground.
Shitou said: Brother Fu, sister, let's go in for dinner.
Fuxing asked: Brother, please!
Shitou shouted: Brothers, you have worked hard, move the things to the hall.
"I obey the gang leader's instructions!" The Sixth Leader responded:
Fu Xing said politely: "Hello, the Sixth Master!"
The sixth master replied: Brother Fu, thank you for your hard work.
The eldest lady instructed: You must tie up these horses tightly, they are afraid of life.
"Yun'er, go quickly." Fuxing raised his feet and shouted:
The Sixth Master shouted: Brothers, everyone move quickly.
"Gang Leader, please come over and eat quickly." Gang Leader Wang shouted:
"Good evening, deputy gang leader! Good evening, all leaders! Brothers!" Fu Xing stepped into the hall and bowed:
"Brother Fu, there is no need to be polite! You and Madam-in-law have worked hard all the way, so you can sit down and have a meal." Gang Leader Wang responded:
"Sit over here." The brothers swayed into the hall carrying a box.
"Brother, deputy gang leader, brothers, this is the grenade I brought back." Fuxing said:
Shitou walked to the box - opened it and said: Brother Fu, how do you use the grenade!
"Brother, take it, pull the line below, and throw it towards the enemy." Fuxing explained:
Shitou took a grenade and gestured: Pull this!
"Brother, you can't pull it here, it will make noise." Fuxing shouted:
"I definitely won't pull it. If I pull it, wouldn't I be seeking death?" Shitou replied:
The third leader patted his chest and called out: Gang Leader, you scared me to death.
"Gang Leader, all the weapons are here." Leader Six said:
Shitou said: Brother Fu, where is the little steel cannon!
"It's in the box in front." Fuxing continued:
"Little Steel Cannon, let me take a look!" Gang Leader Wang stood up and said curiously:
Shi Shi opened the box and said with a smile: "This thing is amazing."
"Gang Leader, put it up and take a look!" Gang Leader Wang shouted:
"Deputy gang leader, I'm not happy with this!" Fuxing said:
Gang leader Wang replied: Have you ever experienced eye addiction?
"Brother Wang, everyone hasn't eaten yet." The second master reminded:
Gang leader Wang then said: Yes, yes, let’s eat, let’s eat.
Shitou stretched out his hand and shouted: Deputy Gang Leader, please take a seat.
Gang leader Wang saluted: Gang leader, take your seat.
"Let's sit down together." Shitou smiled and said:
"Second brother, let me have a bowl with you." Lin Fan said:
The second master said: Brother Fu, I also offer you a bowl.
"Let's all drink together." Gang leader Wang came to the table and responded:
Fuxing smiled and said: "Let's drink."
"Brothers, please don't drink too much today. At 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will go to Marco Polo Bridge to test the cannon." Shitou shouted:
"Brother, what should I do if the kid fights back?" Lin Fan asked:
Shitou replied: We will annihilate them all. They are in the light and we are in the dark. If we attack in secret, we will succeed.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard this.
Gang Leader Wang is seeing everyone discussing...
He shouted: The leader of the gang is really doing this. I should have thought of a sneak attack and beat the kid to pieces.
The brothers said in unison: The gang leader is wise!
Shitou said: Before 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will pick a good guy and everyone will gather on the training ground.
Gang leader Wang shouted: Brothers, do you hear it clearly?
The brothers responded: Listen clearly.
Shitou smiled and said: Brothers, drink, drink.
Gang leader Wang said: Brothers, we did it for our today and tomorrow.
The brothers replied: The leader of the gang and the leader of the deputy gang.
"Brother Fu, I offer you a bowl." The second master raised the bowl and called:
Lucky Star picked up the bowl and replied: Do it...
