The two-foot-high wall around Xujiazhuang is slightly higher than the ground. There are no trees around, but there are many trees inside the wall. It is difficult to see clearly in the dark.
About three or four meters outside the wall, there are more than a hundred houses scattered around half a circle, and the outside is surrounded by endless land, and the terrain is relatively flat.
Inside and outside the courtyard wall, there were lights and lights, and it was very lively. After a while, there was a burst of firecrackers. On the wall above the village gate, there were several guards in black with guns on their backs, and tables were placed directly next to them.
When Hu Yi and his party arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, people were still queuing up to enter. Looking through the doorway of the gate of Zhuangzi and looking into the courtyard, there was a loud sound of drinking, fist-fighting and singing.
There is not much information sent out by the insider arranged by Lao Zhou. Now there are fifty or sixty Japanese in the village, more than one hundred security guards, and even more people from the black-clad detective team. It seems that one or two hundred people are indispensable, plus the original security guards. There are more than a hundred people in the hospital, including more than a thousand people who come to celebrate the Xu family's birthday with guns, and there are even more business owners who have business dealings with the Xu family.
Fu has distant relatives in the mountains, plus the common people nearby, there are only three to four thousand people inside and outside the courtyard! A completely dark place.
Maybe there were too many guests, and the banquets were placed outside the courtyard wall. The nearby villagers consciously looked for seats outside the courtyard wall. Being able to enter the courtyard naturally gave them a higher status.
For three people riding two bicycles on such a high-end product, the two nurses rushed forward to take over the bicycles from Hu Yi and Ma Liang.
One stepped forward and grabbed Ma Liang's handlebar, smiling at Ma Liang.
Ma Liang was startled when he saw someone coming to snatch the bicycle in broad daylight, and quickly held on tightly.
The two sides just stared at each other.
"Uncle, let go and I'll park the car for you!"
Ma Liang turned his head and glanced at Hu Yi who was looking back. When he saw Hu Yi nodded, he let go.
The nurse pushed the car to the wall, where there were already a lot of bicycles parked there. After a while, one of the two nurses came out with a wooden sign: "Uncle, when you want to use the car, bring this wooden sign." Just take it!”
The Xu family arranged a special person outside the yard to receive distinguished guests with cars! There was a long line of bicycles parked beside the courtyard wall, which dazzled Ma Liang.
Hu Yi took the girl and Ma Liang into the solemn gate, holding a gift box that had been opened and revealed a ginseng root inside.
The recipient of the gift was right next to the gate. Watching the two traitors and a girl walking in front of them, a nurse took the gift box, opened it, took a look at it, and then sang loudly: "A box of good ginseng!"
Hu Yi reported the name of a traitor according to the information given by Lao Zhou, gave the gift, and recorded it himself.
Then I was led to find a seat by a nurse in charge of reception.
Hu Yi carefully looked at the noisy scene around him.
The steamers on the rows of earth stoves are taller than the people. There are a row of people cutting vegetables and washing dishes against the courtyard wall, and people carrying water and doing chores come and go.
Xu's courtyard only receives distinguished guests. On the temporary stage set up outside the courtyard, a high-pitched, passionate, generous, and tragic performance of "Dash the Golden Branch" is being performed. You can see clearly that there is a table directly in front of the stage. On the table are melon seeds, peanuts, and jujubes. , teacups, wine bowls, everything is available, the seats behind the table are packed, yellow and yellow, all filled with Japanese! There were dozens of them, their rifles leaning against the table, occupying the best viewing position, watching a rare Chinese opera.
Mr. Xu actually acted in a tragic drama during his birthday. This traitor from the Xu family really has a different mind.
The audience listening to the play was enthusiastic and cheered one after another.
Hundreds of tables were placed in the yard, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat, vegetables, and wine.
There are people in every corner, even on the stone steps in the aisles, on the courtyard walls, and on the trees. The enthusiasm they exude is floating in the air. The sounds come one after another, the gongs and drums are beating more vigorously, and the opera singers on the stage are even more energetic. I tried my best.
The girl stared with big eyes and wanted to move forward, but Hu Yi dragged her to an empty table, which was still greasy.
We had already finished one round of the running-water banquet hosted by the Xu family, and we ran to the stage and screamed happily as soon as we were done.
The three Park Buhuan who followed closely behind came to Hu Yi's table. There were still two empty seats on the table. Neither Lao Zhou nor Er Niu entered the village, so six people gathered together.
She arrived late, the table was too far away from the stage, and the heads in front of her were shaking. The girl climbed onto the table, stood up straight, stretched her neck and looked in the direction of the stage with interest.
A few people came in late, and after waiting for a while, no one else came here. Ordinary people don't want to sit with these detective teams. Who knows what the consequences will be with them, let alone standing on the table. Bit.
It wasn't until several waiters came over with a big wooden plate that the girl reluctantly got off the table, stood on the stool and continued to look around.
There was a nursing staff standing next to him. After leading Pu Buhuan and others in, he kept waiting here. After waiting for a long time, he did not find the detective team member who matched the identities of these people. We couldn't keep the distinguished guests from the city waiting for a long time. Well, after all, those who own cars are naturally VIPs!
So he smiled sarcastically: "Masters, how about you use it first?"
Then he froze.
The people at the table were as stunned as the six plates of cold dishes that had just been served and immediately saw the bottom.
The nurse hurriedly walked away in order to stay out of sight and out of mind: These henchmen all have the same moral character, most likely they didn't even eat yesterday's dinner!
Hu Yi looked at the tables around him casually. They were all traitors from the detective team. It looked like they had drunk a lot, and they were all red-faced and thick-necked.
The traitors looked up at Hu Yi, the new colleague at the table, and found that they didn't recognize him and ignored him at all.
The detective team on several tables around them were hard at work eating melon seeds, peeling peanuts, stuffing meat into their mouths, punching and making noises, gossiping, talking about glorious history, and drinking vigorously. The group of people didn't even look at the stage. .
Looking around, Hu Yi clearly observed the environment. The yard was very large, and the walls were as high as two people. There were more than a dozen guards standing in front of the Xu family's main house, and they couldn't be dealt with by fighting, let alone the people walking back and forth on the surrounding walls. people.
If you want to do something in such a sea of people, you are definitely seeking death. When you turn around, your eyes fall on the table, and you find that of the six dishes on the table, only the plates are left!
There was a black thread on one end. Fortunately, I grabbed a handful of peanuts at the beginning and quickly peeled them off.
Amidst the commotion, two nurses were carrying a large wine vat and filling the table with wine.
"Hey, where are your wine bowls?" A middle-aged man came to Hu Yi's table with a smile on his face, but stopped laughing for a moment. It seemed that the guests had been sitting for a while, because the plates on the table were all It was empty, and someone forgot to bring a bowl.
"What are you doing? The distinguished guests have been here for a long time, where are the wine bowls?" The middle-aged man angrily shouted at the aunties not far away.
"Their table hasn't been filled yet, so they didn't give them wine bowls," a woman came over and mumbled.
The middle-aged man quickly turned to the people on the table and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha, I'll teach these girls a lesson later. Who are you, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the bowl!"
After the middle-aged man finished giving instructions, his mind became clearer: If the wine bowl is not served, then the chopsticks are not even served, right?
In principle, chopsticks are handed out when everyone has arrived at a running-water banquet.
When the middle-aged man looked carefully, he realized that the six people sitting there were all staring at him. There were no chopsticks on the table and his hands were empty. They were all grabbing with their hands?
The middle-aged man had seen such strange things happen many times. He filled up the wine bowl on the table, led the two nurses carrying the wine, and carried the wine jar to the next table.
Everyone at the table shared a large wine bowl. There were no cups, just two spoons in the bowl.
"Brother, can you drink this?" After a long while, Ma Liang finally spoke.
"Pour it into the kettle." Hu Yi said lightly.
So a kettle was empty and there was a puddle on the ground.
The dishes are served non-stop. Since we are distinguished guests, of course the dishes are more meat and less vegetarian.
"Brother, how much does it cost for a table like this in the Xu family?" Ma Liang muttered after stuffing a large piece of fat meat into his mouth.
"How do I know? It must be quite a lot anyway." Hu Yi picked up a piece of bone and put it into his mouth, spitting it out in twos and twos.
Pu Buhuan loosened the waistband of his pants twice and felt that his stomach could no longer be filled.
