The forty-year-old woman held the Dragon Crossing the River and prevented him from leaving in the middle of the night. The Dragon Crossing the River became a little angry and threw a piece of ocean over her, in order to block her mouth.
But the forty-year-old woman returned the money to Guojiang Long, saying that he had misunderstood her, and she just couldn't bear to let Guojiang Long leave alone in the dark of night.
"You misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. If you don't want to, forget it. Just sit and wait in this room. It's too cold outside. Where can you stay?"
"Just take it and let my eldest brother stay here for a while and wait for me. I will call him in time."
Crossing the River Dragon turned around and opened the door, and walked out of the door regardless of the forty-year-old woman's attempts to stay. Looking back, I saw that there were no lights on in the west room, and the woman in the east room did not come out to open the door.
Dragon Crossing the River didn't even look back, and walked directly back to the brothers' residence. When he got close, he coughed loudly, and the brother who looked after him came down to open the door for him. Dragon Crossing the River walked into the courtyard and went to the upper room in the dark.
Guo Jianglong wanted to do his thing, which was to find an opportunity to let Shopkeeper Guo Shao go, but he felt that it was still early and the bearded men who were on duty were still energetic.
At this time, the injured brother who was sleeping alone on the kang turned over. Crossing the River Dragon did not want to disturb him, so he climbed onto the kang in the dark, lifted up the quilt that had been warmed, and lay down with his clothes on.
He was thinking about how to let Shopkeeper Guo go smoothly, and how to smooth things over after letting him go? This is a big risk!
If it weren't for poor Monroe, or to express his regret, he would never take such a big risk.
Master is right, you have to take your time when doing things. If you overdo it, it will easily end badly. Thinking like this, the dragon crossing the river soon fell asleep.
The night is deep and depressing, and all the beautiful and dirty things are hidden in it. It was about midnight when the tired Dragon Crossing the River woke up in a hazy state.
He gently pushed the injured brother next to him with his hand, and the man agreed vaguely, asking Master Liangtai if there was anything he could do.
"It's nothing. Does the wound still hurt? Are you asleep? Go on to sleep. I'll go out and change the second fort, and let him get some sleep when he comes back."
"I don't know when Mr. Liangtai came back. The wound is much better and it doesn't hurt much. Thank you Mr. Liangtai for your concern."
The injured brother stirred slightly and then fell asleep again. The Dragon Crossing the River didn't even light a lamp. He quietly went down to the ground and put on his shoes and walked out.
When he came to the yard, the Dragon Crossing the River looked up at the stars and estimated the time. Then he gently walked to the window of the house where the Guo family was detained and knocked on the window with his hand.
There was a voice coming from the house, asking who it was, but the attitude was not very friendly. Crossing the River Dragon recognized the voice of his brother, so he responded in a low voice.
"It's me, open the door." Crossing the River Dragon turned away from the window and opened the door of the outer room: "Don't light the lamp, call that brother to the outer room too, I have something to say."
The two detainees walked to the outer room, and Guo Jianglong told them in a very serious voice to go immediately and release Mr. Guo, the shopkeeper.
"Listen, don't make any noise. Let the Guo family owner go, but don't alert others, including his parents.
After a while, I went out and called down the two watchmen on the front wall. When they went to the east room to call the brothers to change the guard, you let the boss Guojia Shao out of the room.
Remember, you have to keep an eye on it, neither early nor late, let alone let anyone discover it. I stood in the yard, waiting for Mr. Guo, the shopkeeper, to come out, and then I would lead him away.
At this time, you also lock the door from the outside, go up to the east room and ask two people to come for you, and don't let them look closely during the handover. Then blow out the lights and go to the east room to sleep. I will be responsible for the rest.
Remember, don’t let your words get away from you, otherwise you will both die! I am insured, what about you? But there is no way out. If you don't do what I say, I will kill someone and silence you! "
"We are all counting on you, Mr. Liangtai. We are from the same shed. Of course we must listen to Mr. Liangtai and do what you say. With Mr. Liangtai's plan, we are not afraid of anything happening, and we are even more willing to go through fire and water for him!"
Seeing the two men's vows, Guo Jianglong was relieved. He knew that these two brothers would not betray him, because their fate was still firmly in his hands.
"Go and do it quickly. Be careful and don't go on a business trip. I'll go out and make arrangements now."
It has reached the coldest time of the year. As the saying goes, three or four nines cannot be beaten away with a stick. It is also the coldest time of the day, and the common people call it Gui Qiya.
The Dragon Crossing the River came to the courtyard and coughed twice. The two people on the wall in front got down, came to the Dragon Crossing the River, and gently asked him if he wanted to go out of the courtyard.
"Well, go ahead and open the door. How long have you been on guard up there?"
One person went over to open the door, and the other replied: "It's been more than an hour, it's too cold."
"Go and tell the chief to change the whistle every half an hour. It's too cold and people can't stand it for a long time."
"Well, this is great, but it really won't work after a long time."
The two people nodded and quickly ran back to the house. Seeing that the time had come, Crossing the River Dragon waved his hand, and the owner of the Guo family quickly ran over.
Guo Jiang led him out of the yard without looking back, and quickly came to a north-south avenue in the village. Then he gave instructions to shopkeeper Guo Jiashao.
"You go straight north along this road, and then go in the direction of your home after leaving the village. Remember, you are not allowed to walk on the main road to your home within five miles.
In the future, if you go to Dulong Mountain to redeem people, let the second young master of the Yun family go to Huajianzi to negotiate. He has a lot of face, and the people you find yourself will not have much effect.
If someone asks you why you, your wife, and your son were not kidnapped, just say that you took your wife and children to visit your father-in-law's house and you were lucky enough to survive. Don't lie.
This is your gun. Take it and go back quickly. Your wife and children are waiting for you at home. Don't ask any questions, just leave! "
The eldest young master of the Guo family had been kept in the dark. He wanted to ask for details, but after hearing Guo Jianglong's words, he did not dare to ask more. He said goodbye, turned around and ran north.
The Dragon Crossing the River came to the house where the Leopard was leading him. When he pushed the courtyard door, it was locked again. He jumped into the courtyard, walked to the east room window, knocked on the window and asked someone to open the door for him.
The forty-year-old woman let the dragon cross the river into the house and got into bed again. It seemed that she had fallen asleep a long time ago, and she had also blocked the gate of the yard.
"Why did you come back? It's cold outside, why don't you get on the kang to warm yourself up?"
"Then why are you still sleeping in the house? Go over and wake up my eldest brother."
"I'm on my way, it's still early before dawn. I've been tossing around for half the night and just fell asleep. Let him sleep a little longer, and you can get on the kang to keep warm."
As she spoke, the forty-year-old woman grabbed the hand of Dragon Crossing the River, which was already sitting on the edge of the Kang, and gently stroked it: "Look, how cold this hand is. Come, let me warm it up for you."
The Dragon Crossing the River didn't say anything. At this moment, he thought of Monroe, the woman who fell in love with him for the first time, and felt very disappointed and even more disheartened.
It seems that Monroe can't forgive herself, let alone allow herself to be a beard. Yes, a good person can do this, but he does something that is harmful to nature.
Letting Monroe's man go today is not only a comfort to her, but also a comfort to my own soul.
He thought of his mother again. She was widowed before the age of forty, and now she doesn’t know what’s going on with her family. After this incident, my mother must have known that she was a beard. I wonder if she can withstand such a blow.
The Chinese New Year is almost here again, and of course the dragon crossing the river is still a little homesick. What happened in the past few days also made him upset, even a little worried and annoyed.
Can we get out safely? He had no idea what unknown things would happen next. Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh.
The forty-year-old woman saw Jiang Long being silent and wondered what he was thinking. But seeing that he was not moving and still sighing, he took a step further and lifted the quilt.
"Come on, come in and warm yourself up. It's very hot in bed."
Under the light, her body was shiny. In an instant, Guojiang Long's consciousness suddenly awakened. He withdrew his hand forcefully, sat upright again, and yelled at the forty-year-old woman.
"Go quickly, go to the west room and wake up my brother, come here quickly!"
The forty-year-old woman was helpless. She murmured in a low voice. Without putting on any clothes, she reluctantly opened the door and walked to the west room.
Soon she came back, glanced at Guo Jianglong dissatisfied, and then got into bed again, this time covering herself tightly.
"Just wait a little longer, he promised to get dressed."
"Okay, get up and put on your clothes. Give us some water. Let us wash our faces first and then drink some hot tea. We are leaving. Do you still have enough money?"
"You are a person who likes to work on your own? I have never seen this before. Otherwise, now...it would be too late..."
The forty-year-old woman sat up and looked at the Dragon Crossing the River wildly. Seeing that he still looked majestic, she had no choice but to put on her clothes dissatisfied, walked down to the ground, brought water, and asked the Dragon Crossing the River to wash his face.
After washing his face, Guojianglong poured himself another bowl of water and sat on the edge of the Kang to drink. Hua Leopard also walked into the room at this time, washing his face and talking to the Dragon Crossing the River.
"What time is it now? Isn't it early?"
"That's it, why don't you all sleep for a while, I'll give you some food, and then leave after dawn. It's not easy to come here, why are you so busy."
"Don't follow the nonsense, we have to go." Crossing the River Dragon stood up, put on his hat, and walked out first. The leopard was chased out after a while, and a farewell sound of "Come again" came from the yard.
"How are you? Did you sleep well? You drank too much last night and fell asleep right now. Let's go back to the compound first and see if anything happened?"
The leopard caught up with the dragon crossing the river and talked to him as he walked. The dragon crossing the river also stopped and looked back at the leopard deliberately looking for him under the steps.
"Brothers didn't sleep much. I just came from the compound. My brothers guarded me very well. Nothing happened. I think the night will pass peacefully.
Let's go and call back the brothers who were sent out to watch the wind and burn the incense. It's almost dawn and it's too cold. It's probably okay. Let's ask them to come back and have dinner together and then we can evacuate the kiln. "
The Dragon Crossing the River led the Leopard to turn towards the main road, and the Leopard did not express any objection. He was already satisfied at this moment, and his favorable impression of the Dragon Crossing the River doubled.
