So far, I haven't said how those blue assassins assassinate-these assassins belong to the academic school.On a blue night, taking advantage of the yellow moonlight, they walked into Xue Song's courtyard; that is to say, they walked into the heart of a liberal artisan.At first they walked on a path paved with yellow gravel, with black woods on either side.Then I saw a wall of planks nailed up.These planks were planed, polished, and tenoned, and in the moonlight they looked like a wall of polished bricks.This is a miracle of craftsmanship, but in the hands of liberals, it is not worthy of praise.In the middle are one or two wooden doors.Before this gate, the assassins held their breath.They lined up in two rows, clenched the weapons in their hands, and let an accomplice with expertise pass through to pry the door.There are many ways to deal with this kind of door. One is to insert the tip of a knife through the crack of the door and open the gate.But this method can not be used, the two doors are very tight, there is almost no seam.The other is to use an iron rod to remove the door leaf from the frame.This hand also did not work, for the door was securely fastened.The third way is to use a jack, but I don't bring it.The fourth method is to use fire, but it will alarm Xue Song.The Assassin took some time because of this... and then he whispered: Fuck it.Because the door was neither locked nor inserted backwards, it opened as soon as it was pushed.

Inside this gate is a path of planks supported by double trusses like a plank.Those assassins walked the trails like a troop of egrets feeding at the water's edge at night.At the end of the path, there is another bamboo fence with a bamboo gate.Having learned the lesson from last time, the assassin who walked in front went straight to push the door.The door opened with a bang.Feeling this voice, the leader of the assassin issued a password: "Pass it later, whisper."This sentence was passed on backwards, and the sound became louder as it was passed on, until it was almost like shouting in the end.If the voice of the retelling leader is not loud, the majesty of the leader will not be displayed.The leader of the assassins was dissatisfied with the clamor of his subordinates, so he issued another command: "Anyone who dares to speak loudly will kill him!" The people in the village were all arguing.The assassin leader yelled in rage: Fuck you, shut up!The curse was repeated by dozens of people at the same time, and rolled across the night sky rumblingly.Then, these little people slapped themselves for insulting the leader.Academics may not be so vulgar, but that's the only way I can write.Because, as you know, I was never an academic.

Later they walked through a path made of round bamboo, which looked like a small bridge in the country.At the end of the small bridge is a grass wall, like the roof of a thatched house; there is a door made of grass rows.The path behind the door is paved with reed flowers and grass ears, which is very comfortable to walk on.Then there were wooden walls and wooden doors... One assassin complained: Damn, so many doors.I have an explanation for this: as a skilled craftsman, Xue Song likes to make doors, and often forgets how many doors and paths he has built, so there are countless doors and paths in his house.Another explanation is: there are only three gates and three paths in Xue Song's yard.One is the way in, one is the way home, and the other is the way out.The assassins were not going the right way and were circling in his courtyard.According to the former explanation, the Assassins should have been patient enough to go through all the doors and walk all the paths; and that's what the Assassins were doing--such nighttime walks were fun, but getting lost was bad.The situation now seemed to be lost, so they also doubted that the latter explanation might be true; so they walked, searched the side of the road, and finally saw the outline of a house in the dark woods.

One thing that must be mentioned is that moonlight is much shorter-lived than sunlight.When they came out, there was yellow moonlight everywhere, but now there was none at all, and the blue night turned black.One more thing to mention: at night, the road is brighter than other places, so be sure to walk.Anyway, the assassins found a house on the side of the road, surrounded it, rushed in, and were stunned.I saw a pair of eyes in the darkness, emitting a blue crystal light; the distance between the eyes was more than a foot.The house smelled of rotting grass.Someone couldn't help but exclaimed: My mother, the red line is like this.But the leader of the assassin was very calm, he said: Let's go, and he led the way out.His subordinates asked: What's going on?what happened?Don't we kill the red line?He felt very angry and felt that his subordinates were too stupid.He is right.Everyone should have known long ago that what they saw when they rushed into the cowshed just now were the eyes of a buffalo.If Hongxian's eyes looked like this, then it would be difficult to match. According to the size of a person, a person with such eyes is about three feet eight feet tall, and the eyeballs are as big as the mouth of a bowl; I don't know who will kill whom.Later, they rushed into the pigsty, chicken coop, and duck shed, but they couldn't find the red line anywhere, and they couldn't find Xue Song either.Then it rushed into the earthen nest, was stung, and came back just like that.This raises the question, where did Xue Song and Hong Xian go.One explanation goes like this: They didn't go anywhere, they just lived on top of everyone.Xue Song built a tall house supported on some pillars.The bamboo path meanders under the stilt house.The assassins did find some pillars, but thought they were trees.The house is easily visible during the day, but invisible at night.
