The broken courtyard wall, the scattered firewood gate, the deserted courtyard, plus the low adobe house in front of it was leaking from all directions.
This is the house and courtyard where Zhang San, an indigenous resident outside Suizaomen in Tokyo City during the Song Dynasty, lived.
Zou Run stepped into it, and Zhang San had a strange look on his face behind him.
The long thick-soled cowhide boots crunched on the snow on the ground. The darkness was everywhere, and the noise of the tiled houses on the street could be heard in the distance, making the silence of the place even more obvious.
This silence was unusual, and Zou Run had a feeling that there were several hostile eyes peering at him from the darkness around him.
Zou Run didn't like this feeling very much. Thinking of Zhang San's strange behavior just now, he felt something was wrong.
Seeing that the next step was to step into the door of the house in front of him, Zou Run suddenly stood up just a foot in front of the door. He secretly touched his hand to his lower back and asked pretending to be casual:
"I wonder if Lu Zhishen - Master Lu will ever have contact with you again?"
"Sure enough, this guy was sent by Gao Yanei to find out about Master! Brothers! Capture him quickly!"
In an instant, a fierce look appeared on Zhang San's face. He gave a sharp shout and slammed the oil lamp in his hand to the ground!
boom!
A muffled sound echoed far away in the silent courtyard.
There was a burst of chaotic cheers outside the courtyard wall, and eight or nine men came in one after another. Some of them lit torches. Under the reflection of the fire, Zou Run saw that these people were all dressed up as gangsters, with their clothes and hats scattered, and their facial expressions. Draw a tiger.
Most of them had sticks and wooden forks in their hands. The most lethal weapons were Zhang San and another tall and thin man, each holding an iron ruler.
Seeing this, Zou Run slowly withdrew his right hand from his waist. Faced with the battle in front of him, why did he need a sharp blade?
The fight broke out in an instant. Zou Run knew that a misunderstanding had been caused. At this time, verbal explanations were useless. He could only see the real words on his fists and feet first.
A jujube stick struck head-on with a strong gust of wind. Zou Run did not dare to catch it head-on. He turned sideways to avoid the blow, and then stepped forward with a bow. His right hand was thrust out like lightning, and he accurately captured the wielder of the stick. wrist.
A forceful one.
"Oh!"
The man was in pain and the jujube stick fell off his hand immediately. Zou Run took advantage of the situation and lifted the wooden stick with his toes. As soon as he caught it with his right hand, two iron rulers from Zhang San and another man whizzed towards him.
One went straight to Tianling Gai, and the other swung towards the weak abdomen.
Zou Run, holding the stick in his hand, turned around like a dragon, and the stick turned with him, drawing a large radius. Zhang San's iron ruler was swept to the ground before he could get close to him, and was completely submerged in the snow, disappearing. .
Youdao is an inch longer and an inch stronger. The owner of the other iron ruler was also hit by the head of the stick during the attack. As everyone knows, the gun is afraid of shaking the head and the stick is afraid of nodding. Zou Run's stick is full of strength. First of all, even though his hand had already absorbed a lot of strength, but after receiving this blow, the man's face was still wrinkled, his facial features were distorted, and he fell to the ground with pain on his face.
After solving the three most troublesome people, the remaining few people are already timid, how can they dare to step forward? He just made a random dance with the wooden fork and wooden stick in his hand, and the lethality was basically zero, just to embolden himself.
"It seems that scoundrels are scoundrels. It's okay to be fierce and fierce in daily battles. Once they see the real seal, they lose their timidity. But it's rare that these people are deeply loyal to Lu Zhi."
Zou Run held the stick in his hand, stood tall, and knocked down three people in succession in a few breaths. He did not take a breath or say a word, and he was able to do it with ease. He looked at everyone in the field and said calmly:
"Are any of you in serious trouble? Zou couldn't stop for a while, and he was offended. Just then, the third brother Zhang shouted too hastily, and Zou had no time to explain that I came from Shandong, and he was not one of Huahua Taisui's subordinates. This time, one is to pick up Mrs. Lin and reunite with Coach Lin, the other is to know the news about Master Lu, and the third is to come for you and others. There is no malicious intention. Zou has Coach Lin’s token and autographed letter in hand, so he takes it to Lin The lady will know the authenticity as soon as she checks it."
The gang of thugs helped Zhang San and others up. Zhang San was doubtful and said:
"Although you are good at tactics and your words seem to make sense, I still don't believe it, let alone show the letters and tokens to Mrs. Lin. This is what Gao Yanei used in the last encounter. After learning the handwriting of Master Lin, he made up a random letter and lured Mrs. Lin to the suburbs. If Master Lu hadn't been wise after hearing the letter, and followed her all the way to rescue her, it would have almost made a big mistake!"
"To this day, the instructor is still so angry that he is bedridden and unable to breathe, and Mrs. Lin is in a daze all day long, looking for life and death!"
Zhang San said angrily, but Zou Run heard the important information contained in it. Since Mrs. Lin was rescued by Lu Zhishen again, it means that Lu Zhishen has not gone far and is still maintaining a certain relationship with Lin Chong's family through special channels. contact.
Zou Run realized that the whereabouts of Lu Zhishen must be with Zhang San and others, so his mind suddenly changed and he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Since it's so difficult, it's not bad for Brother Zhang to be more cautious. Zou thinks he's upright and upright. I have a way to verify the authenticity of his family without bothering Mrs. Lin's house."
"Master Lu must be related to you. You can blindfold me and take me directly to Master Lu. With Master Lu's martial arts, I won't be able to do anything in front of him. You can rest assured. . Secondly, Coach Lin also wrote a letter to Master Lu. There are many code words and secrets in the letter that were only known between the two of him. After verification by both parties, there is no doubt about my identity. What do you think?"
After hearing this, several gangsters looked at Zhang San. Zhang San thought about it carefully, then looked at the tall and thin man next to him and said, "What do you think, Brother Li?"
Li Si, who was nicknamed Green Grass Snake, held his stomach and smiled bitterly.
"Brother, you are so stupid! Firstly, what this official said makes sense, and secondly, we have no choice but to agree. If he is from Gao Yanei, and we don't agree, he will knock us down and torture him. If he is not, It seems that even if I don't agree, he will be ruthless, and we are still no match for him. I blindfolded him and took him to that place. Although this official is a good hand, he can't compete with the living Arhat! "
"Come on, if it doesn't help if you ask me to wait, just listen to the words of the fourth brother Li, get a black cloth, blindfold the official's eyes, I will take him to a place myself, you can wait for him to stay at home and take care of him, don't let Gao Yanei That gang of thieves saw an opportunity!"
After Zhang San finished giving instructions, he blindfolded Zou Run, sandwiched himself and Li Si on the left and right, felt in the dark, chose a direction, and walked forward one step at a time.
Twisting and twisting, turning left and right, Zou Run could not help the two of them walking around. Slowly, Zou Run smelled a slight rotten smell on the tip of his nose, but it was mixed with the fragrance of vegetables. Zou Run became energetic and secretly said that the place had arrived.
Sure enough, in a hurry, Zou Run felt his arms being let go by the two of them. When he stood on his feet, a deep and deep voice came from his ears.
"Oh? Since this is the case? Since he is in trouble, let's put the blindfold on him and wait for the Sa family to see if he is an enemy or a friend."
The black cloth in front of his eyes was uncovered, and there was light in front of Zou Run's eyes. What he saw was an underground cellar that was as tall as a person. The cellar was surrounded by piles of winter cabbage wrapped with straw ropes and neatly stacked. This place is the big one. Underneath the vegetable garden of Xiangguo Temple.
After rescuing Lin Chong to Cangzhou and returning to Tokyo City, Dong Chao and Xue Ba came back to complain. Gao Qiu immediately urged the Kaifeng Mansion to place a wanted order on Lu Zhishen. The government in Bianliang City was powerful. Facing the manhunt, Lu Zhishen pretended to burn down the vegetable garden and escape, but in fact he temporarily hid in a vegetable cellar under the ruins of the fire.
Relying on this trick, the officials from Kaifeng Mansion came back empty-handed several times to inspect the place, transforming the most dangerous place into the safest place.
It has to be said that Hua Monk Lu Zhishen is really both wise and courageous, brave and resourceful.
In the middle of the cellar there is a low table and several square low stools. Sitting on the stool was a tall man with a full beard, a ring scar on his head, and wearing a straight jacket. When Zou Run raised his eyes, the big man was looking him up and down with a pair of piercing tiger eyes.
