night!
The weather was clear, and the light of the moon shone on the earth, illuminating everything as if it were daytime.
Perhaps it is difficult for people in the future world to understand that the moon can be so bright late at night. When walking on a field road at night, you don't even need any lighting tools, and everything around you is almost as bright as day.
Zhu'er walked to the courtyard and took a look, then returned to the main room where only a small oil lamp was lit.
"Third brother, I'm afraid it's not a good time to move around tonight. The moon is so beautiful and the sky is cloudless! It makes the night look like day."
Before Qin Lie could speak, Daozi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let's wait a little longer and take action after the third watch!"
Zhu'er didn't think much, and went to the kitchen to bring some pancakes and pickles, and used a gourd to scoop some water into the water tank.
"Brothers, please eat some. It will take a while before you can take action!"
Everyone divided the pancakes, holding them in their hands without taking a bite, and ate them absentmindedly.
Qin Lie said at this time: "Brother Zhu'er, are you Xu Jieyuan's nurse?"
Zhu'er curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Me? Huyuan, humph, Xu He doesn't have the ability to ask me to be a nursing home!"
Everyone felt strange when they heard this.
Your Wang Zhuer's expression seems to disdain Xu He, so why are you still helping him?
When Thirteen asked the questions in everyone's mind.
Zhu'er was silent for a while, then slowly told the story about his interaction with Xu He.
After listening to this, the water bandits felt that Xu He seemed different from ordinary scholars.
But Qin Lie has read books, and his second uncle is also a scholar.
He understands the thoughts of scholars of this era better than anyone else.
Logically speaking, the scholars of this era, as long as they have achieved fame, will look down on ordinary "mud-legged" people like them, let alone those at the bottom of society like Wang Zhu'er.
But this Xu He, although it was for the sake of the Xu family, he risked his life to make tea to solve the problem.
But judging from the way he handles problems, in many places he deliberately takes care of the interests of the kitchen workers.
In the more than 100 years since the imperial dynasty, he had never heard that Zao Ding could participate in the negotiation of salt prices.
I have never heard of a scholar going to the salt farm to help improve the methods and equipment for drying salt in order to save the salt farm workers from hardship.
Perhaps, you can think about whether Xu He is hypocritical and trying to win people's hearts.
But when something happens, people really help me.
Not to mention, Xu He used his own money to send some food and clothing to the old and young people in Tuancha during the New Year and holidays. How do you calculate this?
The Xu family's crisis has been resolved long ago.
If you were to leave it to an ordinary scholar, he might have already put aside the old Zheng head who made tea.
But during every year and festival, people bring gifts, and they even go to Kuancha in person to reunite with the old people in the salt field.
What is this called?
This really treats people like Lao Zhengtou as if they are walking around as elders.
For this reason, Xu He was not one of those scholars from wealthy families that Qin Lie was used to.
Thinking of this, Qin Lie's heart about Xu He became clearer. He was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and unlike other scholars, he liked to put on airs and felt superior to others.
Qin Lie looked back and thought about what happened to him.
If any other scholar had encountered a gangster like him, he would have been so scared that he would wet his pants long ago.
But this one was better. He obviously kidnapped him, but in the end he really let himself and his brothers go.
Qin Lie's commitment to keeping his promise was quite surprising when he thought about it afterwards.
After everyone finished eating the pancakes, after a while, hearing the silence outside the courtyard, Daozi said: "Third brother, let's go there first!"
While he was talking, he took out a grappling hook from the baggage by the wall. Zhu'er took a look, good guy, looking at this posture, he is indeed a habitual gangster.
Qin Lie nodded and said to Daozi: "Be careful and don't be reckless after entering. If anything happens, call us via code!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Thirteen and said: "Assign two people to guard the front and back alleys, and you yourself will lead two people to guard the front door. If we hear any movement, let's take action together!"
After the arrangements were made, everyone nodded and walked out without saying anything.
Qin Lie and Zhu'er were the only two people left in the room.
Qin Lie said: "Brother Zhu'er, let's go to the backyard and guard the back door!"
Piggy nodded.
When they came to the backyard, they saw Knife swinging the rope over the wall on the opposite wall. He exerted his strength and found that the buckle was firm. Then, like a civet cat, he climbed up the wall in two or three steps. In the blink of an eye, He disappeared from the pig's sight.
After the knife went in, Qin Lie and Zhu'er suddenly became nervous. This was the most dangerous time.
If the enemy has any precautions, they will be exposed immediately.
In this way, they waited anxiously for about half a cup of tea, and suddenly they heard a "click" from the small courtyard door. Good guy, Dao Zi's big face with a playful smile was very conspicuous in the moonlight.
This guy actually opened the other party's backyard door directly.
Seeing this, Qin Lie turned to Zhu'er and said, "Call the brothers who are on guard around you, and let's go in together."
When everyone came to the courtyard, they found that Wang Gui was really willing to spend money on the outer house. There were small bridges, flowing water, and rockery and flower ponds in an inconspicuous courtyard.
When everyone cautiously arrived in the backyard, suddenly, a woman's pleading voice came over.
"Master, master, please, don't bother me, my family can't bear it anymore!"
"Ma De, you can't bear it? Why didn't you say this when the Japanese stabbed you during the day? Damn it, he ate meat, why can't you let me drink soup in the middle of the night?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie and Zhu'er's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the Japanese pirates are here.
Qin Lie whispered: "Catch your tongue first, don't disturb others!"
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the wing where the sound came from just now.
Qin Lie said hello and saw Knife tiptoe forward. He first wetted the window paper with his saliva, then pierced it and looked inside. After confirming the location of the speaker, he pulled out a very thin knife from his back and inserted it. In the crack of the door.
After a while, he pushed gently and the door opened a crack.
Qin Lie and the others seemed to be used to doing this, so they immediately came to both sides of the wing door without giving any instructions.
When Knife opened the door gently, the people in the room heard the movement, and the man cursed: "What the fuck, you are so comfortable during the day, and you come to fight with me at night? Go away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that several strange men rushed in.
He was immediately startled.
Before he could speak, the knife was placed on his neck.
And the pretty but naked woman next to him was knocked to the ground by Shisan's knife and fainted.
"You, you are the head of Taihu Water Village, I have seen you!" Seeing Qin Lie walking in accompanied by Zhu'er, the man who was held up by the knife trembled.
Qin Lie smiled coldly: "Which room is the Japanese in? Also, where is Weng Zhengchun?"
