There were three people behind the tall and thin man. They were all taciturn and muscular men. They were all dressed in black and had short knives on their waists. One of them was holding a sack in his hand.
"Go to the door and look out. If there is any movement, the cat will meow!"
The tall and thin man ordered the beggar.
The beggar quickly stood up and followed the four people to the yard. As he walked, he asked: "Master Fan, why are you so anxious? In the past, we didn't go into the county town to find people. Why did we take action in the county town today?"
"I need the goods urgently, what can I do?"
The tall and lanky man said something irritably, and then scolded in a low voice: "Don't be so nagging, if you wake up others and something goes wrong, I will tear you alive!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
The beggar quickly responded in a low voice.
But no matter how the tall and thin man communicated with the beggar, the three people following him remained silent.
The five people walked quickly and reached the edge of the courtyard. Of course, they would not enter through the front door, but went directly around to the back. They walked around to the back house in a very experienced way. Two men in black squatted in the corner, and the third man leaned on their shoulders. Climb up and stand up, and you can reach the top of the wall.
The tall and thin man was about to climb up the wall along the ladder built by the three people, but unexpectedly, the beggar who was watching on the street suddenly let out an owl hoot.
Then the four people who were already ready quickly dispersed and got into the shadow of the corner.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
A ringing of bells slowly came around the corner of the street, and along with the ringing came a rickety figure.
Looking from a distance, the beggar could vaguely tell that this man was an old man, and he felt relieved.
When you get closer, even if the moonlight is not very good in the night, you can clearly see that it is an old man pouring night fragrance. He has been hanging around the county town these days, so he can recognize it.
He could be sure that he was right. As a special talent for tracking, having a photographic memory of faces is a basic quality.
So he could be sure that this was the old man who was responsible for pouring the night fragrance this morning.
But ringing the bell to collect the night fragrance is not a morning job, right? It's only been dark for a few hours now!
Isn't this the time to collect night fragrance?
Although the beggar was confused, he saw that it was just an old man and did not feel any threat in his heart, so he made another bird call, which meant that the crisis was over.
The four people hiding in the dark shadows didn't know what happened, but since they heard the harmless calls of birds, they wanted to continue to repeat the actions just now.
Use a ladder to climb over the wall and catch people.
Although the beggar made a bird call to indicate that there was no danger, he still hid in the shadows and kept an eye on the rickety figure.
After all, even if he was an old man collecting night fragrance, it would not be good if he saw him and made a warning sound to wake up the neighbors.
So when necessary, he, a beggar, would act as a cover, making noises or noises, as long as he could attract the old man's attention.
If it doesn't work, knocking him out with a stick is the last resort.
Unexpectedly, when he looked nervously at the old man Zao Yexiang, he found that the old man Zao Yexiang, who was walking with a bell in front of him just now, had disappeared.
Then his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
The tall and thin young man known as Mr. Fan was climbing up the wall along the ladder. When he was about to reach down to pull others up, he suddenly saw a rickety figure appearing inexplicably next to him.
"This young man climbed up the wall of someone's courtyard in the middle of the night, and there was only an old man, a young man, and a woman at home. You are trying to ruin someone's innocence!"
The rickety figure, under the dim moonlight, actually had a trace of penetration.
The hoarse old man's voice sounded strangely in the ears of the tall, thin young man and the muscular man in black shorts under the wall, but it seemed to only ring in their ears and did not alarm the people in the yard or other yards. people.
The tall and thin young man, that is, Mr. Fan, was immediately frightened.
You must know that he is on top of the wall at the moment. This wall should be about ten feet long. He still has to take a ladder to get up. How did the other party, an old man, appear next to him?
Therefore, his first reaction was not to talk to the old man, but to take out a short knife from his waist and stab him.
But he didn't expect that the rickety figure in front of him stretched out a hand, and directly grabbed the blade of the short knife, allowing him to stab it forward with all his strength. Stabs don't help either.
The tall and lanky young man knew that he was in trouble today. He was holding the blade with his bare hands, which was beyond his knowledge.
But after all, he was someone who spent the whole day wandering on the verge of being caught and reported to the police, so he reacted very quickly.
The moment the blade was caught, he had already let go of his short sword and jumped out.
As soon as he landed, he faced the three muscular men in short black shirts behind him and said, "We've hit a rough patch, pull it!"
After saying that, he was about to run away.
But it was too late after all. The first one to fall was him who was the first to run. He fell down inexplicably.
When the three muscular men in black shorts saw the man named Fan falling, they just wanted to come over to save him, but they felt the ground begin to shake inexplicably, then they felt dizzy, and finally fell down.
The rickety figure standing on the high wall jumped off the wall lightly and walked up to the tall and thin young man named Fan. He laughed twice, but the laughter always made people feel a chill. It feels like it starts burning from the soles of your feet and goes straight to your heart, and then you squeeze it so that your heart stops beating.
Anyway, this is how the tall, lanky young man named Fan felt when he fell to the ground inexplicably but was still very conscious.
He watched helplessly as the rickety old man slowly came to him, letting go of the bird's claw-like hand, and his short knife fell to the ground in his hand.
At this time, under the dim moonlight, the tall and thin young man named Fan finally saw clearly the face of the rickety figure in front of him. Isn't this the old man who came to this yard during the day to collect night incense fees?
"Old man, what I like to see the most is those people who are extremely arrogant in front of me, watching helplessly as they end up being slaughtered!
You are too big to change into a sheep, but you can still change into a pig and a dog!
Old man, I thought about it, a pig weighing 100 kilograms might not be worth much, let’s just use a dog!
Dogs are more valuable than pigs!
It just so happens that I have some mastiff skins that came down from the southwest plateau, which I can use just right. "
After saying that, he took out a few pieces of dog skin from the small bag behind his back, picked up a few and compared them, and finally selected a white one and covered it directly on the tall and thin man named Fan.
Three black ones covered the three muscular men in black clothes and short shirts.
Whether it was the tall, thin young man named Fan or the three sturdy men in black short-shirts, they all wanted to resist. Although they didn't know what the old man wanted to do to them with these pieces of dog skin, they were sure that it was absolutely impossible. is a good thing.
Alarm bells were ringing in their hearts, but they lacked any strength in their hands and did not even have the ability to resist.
The skin was draped on them, and then they heard the ghost-like old man chanting a curse softly, and then they felt that the skin on their bodies was tightening, and the whole skin began to penetrate into their flesh.
They wanted to move, but they really couldn't.
They were scared, with tears and runny noses flowing, but it was of no use.
In just the blink of an eye, the four tall and muscular men on the ground turned into four tall mastiff dogs.
It's just that these four mastiffs are too tall. Dogs weighing more than 100 kilograms are indeed scary.
But if you look closely, you will see the fear in the eyes of these big dogs.
The old man coughed slightly, then took out some ropes from the small bag he was carrying, hung them on the necks of several big dogs, and then shook the ropes.
"Let's go! Let's go! There's always a chance in life, if you leave early, you'll leave late, too!
Why don't you help me earn a few copper coins! "
After saying that, he led the four big dogs away. The four big dogs were obviously reluctant to follow, but under the inexplicable drag of the four ropes, they followed him involuntarily.
The beggar on the street corner, his unconscious body twitched unconsciously. He didn't know how lucky he was. He might have been dreaming while he was in coma, and he smacked his lips twice.
In the county town, butchers usually kill pigs and sheep at Yinshi, prepare their meat stalls before dawn, and start business at dawn.
It's not time yet, but we still need to make some preparations.
While the butcher was sharpening his knife, an old man came outside the door and walked in with four big dogs.
Oops! I have to say, this dog is really big!
