Chapter 16 The thirteenth round of selling wine to welcome guests, willing to die as a confidant

However, when General Liu uttered some forceful words to Shen Sanxuan, Feng Xi knew that there was no hope of escaping from the cage, so she panicked, became dizzy, and fell down on the sofa chair.Shen Sanxuan watched, but didn't dare to go forward to help her. General Liu stroked her forehead with his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I have a lot of familiar doctors, just call him to have a look." Some guests in the hall also Immediately gathered around, Shen Sanxuan didn't dare to mix with the wealthy people, and still retreated to the guard room outside to listen to the news.In less than ten minutes, a western doctor came and rushed to the room.After a while, the doctor came out, and he said: "After an injection and a lot of wine, the person has already turned around. As long as he rests for a night, he will be like a good person tomorrow." Shen Sanxuan heard the news, and his heart ached. Only one stone fell, as long as she doesn't have to worry about her life, it would be better to recuperate here for a few days.But she hesitated in her heart, she was dizzy, should she tell her sister-in-law?At this moment, General Liu sent a horse to say: "It doesn't matter anymore, go back and call her mother, the general has something to say to her."Shen Sanxuan thought that he could not go forward, so he went home and told Aunt Shen what he had said.When Aunt Shen heard this, her heart jumped wildly, she found a lot of locks, big and small, locked the box and even the door, went out of the gate, hired a rickshaw, and came to General Liu's house.

It was already late at night, and the guests at General Liu's house had all dispersed.A Mabian led Aunt Shen to the upper room, and then an old woman led Aunt Shen upstairs.In front of this building is a one-way corridor, and inside a glass window with double crosses, there are purple curtains hanging.Through the window, looking at the bright lights with bright colors, I feel that this is not a place to be idle.Pass through the main room through the main entrance, and there is a double hanging green curtain beside it.The old lady led her in again, and saw that the inside was resplendent and magnificent, and the furnishings were very gorgeous; the upper half of the railing was removed from the copper bed on it.On the ceiling, hung a pair of pendant-bell-style curtains, covering the bed. Looking at it from a distance, the electric light was reflected, and the curtains seemed to be there, and Feng Xi was lying on his side inside.In front of the bed were two women in white clothes, sitting and guarding her.Aunt Shen has seen it before, this is someone from the hospital.Aunt Shen was about to go forward to lift the curtain, but the nurse shook her hand and said, "She is asleep, don't disturb her; it is very dangerous to wake her up." Aunt Shen looked at the nurse's attitude so solemnly, I had no choice but to go forward, and asked the old lady, "Is this your general's house?" The old lady said, "No! It was our wife's room. Later, when my wife returned to Tianjin, she passed away in Tianjin. This room is still here. Look, old lady, how nice this house is. If your girl is with my general, it would be a blessing." Aunt Shen was silent.Because he asked: "Where is General Liu?" The old lady said: "There is an important business, and I went to a meeting. It will be late today, and I can't go home. He often holds meetings until dawn." After hearing this, Aunt Shen, It was a little bit relieved.But sitting in this room, first the female nurse was not allowed to disturb Feng Xi, and when Feng Xi woke up, the female nurse was not allowed to talk too much.After staying together until midnight, the two female nurses went out to sleep. The old lady brought two couch chairs, sat on one with Aunt Shen, and said softly to Aunt Shen: "Our general ordered you to come here. Stay with your girl, but don't let me talk too much. If you have something on your mind, talk to our general face to face when our general comes back." When Aunt Shen arrived here, she didn't know what was going on, so she naturally became afraid.The old lady didn't let me talk too much, so I didn't talk too much.The summer days are short and the sky is almost dawn, Feng Xi got enough sleep and was already very awake, so she got out of bed and shook Aunt Shen.When she woke up, Feng Xi pointed at the old mother, shook her again, and then said softly: "I have to pretend to be sick, and I can't go out. Go ask the uncle of the Guan family and see him." Is there any other way to save me?" When she said that, the old woman turned over on the couch, and Feng Xi slipped onto the bed.Aunt Shen has something on her mind, so she can't sleep well.At about six or seven o'clock, I heard footsteps outside the window, and someone shouted: "The general is here." The old woman turned over and sat up, shaking Aunt Shen again and again: "Get up, get up." When the aunt got up, General Liu had already entered the door.It seemed that outside the green curtain, there were two people in short yellow clothes standing there. He was about to question General Liu a few words, but he was completely frightened back.It was General Liu who pointed at her with the long-handled folding fan in his hand, "Are you Fengxi's mother?" Aunt Shen said yes, leaned on the chair beside her, and took a step back.General Liu waved his fan around the room, and said with a smile, "Look, how is this place better than your home? Isn't it better for your girl to live here than at home?" Aunt Shen looked up at him, although He was still smiling, but there was a murderous look in his eyes, no one dared to refute him, he just said "yes".General Liu said: "Maybe you are tired after staying up all night. You can go back to rest and come to me in the evening. I have something to talk to you." After hearing what he said, Aunt Shen took a peek at Feng. Hi, seeing her asleep and not moving, her eyes can look out of the room.Aunt Shen understood, so she agreed to General Liu's words and walked out.

She remembered Feng Xi's words, and instead of going home, she came to Guan Shoufeng's house all the time.At this time, Shoufeng was doing the early morning work in the yard, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Shen walking in, he asked, "You sister-in-law, is there something urgent to find someone? Look at your face." Mrs. Shen stood still and focused, He smiled and said, "I'll ask, is there an Uncle Guan here?" , please come inside and talk." When Aunt Shen saw his situation, she probably was Guan Shoufeng.Followed into the room, she asked, "Are you Uncle Guan?" When Xiu Gu heard about it, she came out of the inner room and said with a smile, "Aunt Shen! You are a rare visitor..." Shou Feng said, "You're welcome. Okay, let's wait for her to talk. I think she is full of things to talk about. Sister-in-law! Tell me, if you want my surname Guan to help, I have to say no, I'm not enough friends." said Aunt Shen : "Please sit down." He also sat down on a square stool by the table.Shoufeng said: "Sister-in-law! It's probably not a trivial matter for you to come to me in person. You say what you say." When he said that, he opened two big round eyes and looked at Aunt Shen.Aunt Shen couldn't bear it any longer, so she told about General Liu's keeping Feng Xi in custody, but she only said one or two vague words about the previous dealings with Shang's family.Shoufeng heard this, but without saying a word, he slapped the table with a bang.Xiugu poured a bowl of tea for Mrs. Shen, and just as she was putting it on the table, the table shook, knocking the cup down with a clang, splashing water from Mrs. Shen's sleeve.Xiu Gu hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe with her, only to apologize.Shoufeng didn't care, and jumped on his feet and said: "What kind of world is this? In the city of Beijing, where the president lives, they are all so unreasonable. If it is in other places, ordinary people don't live their lives. There are many good-looking girls on the street. I see..." Xiugu rushed forward, grabbed his hand, and said, "Father! What's the matter with you? After shouting and jumping for a while, is it over? Luckily, Aunt Shen listened to him earlier. I said, you have such a temper for lighting firecrackers, otherwise, you will stay in your own home and make a fuss for a while, what is it?" Shou Feng asked his girl to persuade him, then suddenly sat back and took an old Taishi chair , With a loud crash, sitting in a big hole, the people fell to the ground together with the legs of the chair.Aunt Shen didn't expect the old man to be so angry, she was stunned, looking at him silently.Shou Feng stood up, but without saying a word, sat down on a stone bench near the door, resting his chin with both hands, pouted his beard, and was still angry.Looking at the chair, it was dismantled into seventy or eighty pieces of wood, and then he let out a snort, and then burst out laughing.Standing there, he cupped his hands to Aunt Shen and said, "Sister-in-law! Don't laugh at me. I'm just like burning gunpowder. No matter how I endure it, I can't change it. But once the incident is over, I forget it. You see, I am angry with this chair right now, and when our girl’s heart hurts later on, we should chatter for three days and three nights.” When she was speaking, before Mrs. Shen could answer, she raised her head and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said: “That’s right. That's how to do it. This is called the first to act first, and the second to suffer. Sister-in-law! Do you agree or not?" Xiu Gu said: "I'm going to say I'm troublesome again. By the way, if you ask people whether they agree or not, what do they know they agree with?" Shoufeng said with a smile: "Yes, I forgot to tell my sister-in-law. Your girl, if you say so, will live upstairs. In any case, I can rescue her; but in this way, there may be a lot of trouble. You go to the second watch tonight, pack up the soft things, and bring them to me. The corner here is the city wall, and I Prepare two long ropes to hang out of the city. I have an apprentice who lives in Dawangzhuang outside the city. Ask him to take you to stay for a while. When Mr. Fan comes, he will either take you back to the south or temporarily live outside the city. Let's talk then, what do you think?" Mrs. Shen said, "That's good, but my girl is in there, what can you do to get her out?" Shoufeng said, "This is my business, so leave it alone. I want you to have a light meal with me. I don’t know if you have the time? It’s not just for dinner, I have to invite some friends to meet you.” Aunt Shen said: “If you leave me with something to say, I will disturb you. You have a meal, but don't bother." Shoufeng said: "It doesn't take much trouble, but I am not asking you." So he reached out his hand in the old bag hanging in the middle of his trouser belt, groped for a while, and took out a one-yuan silver coin. I handed some scattered copper bills to Xiugu and said: "You take that gourd, put two catties of white dry, and buy vegetables if you have more. When you buy it back, ask Aunt Shen to help you make it, and I will go." Bring your senior brothers here." After speaking, he found a blue cloth coat and put it on, and went out.

Xiugu tidied up the house, so she couldn't leave Aunt Shen at home alone, and invited her to go out to buy food and drinks.When she came back, Xiugu bought fifty steamed buns, and asked the noodle shop to bake ten catties of homemade cakes, and at twelve o'clock, they took them home.Aunt Shen said: "Girl! How many guests do you have in your house? Are you going to prepare these food?" Xiu Gu smiled and said, "I'll prepare food for three guests. If there are four guests, maybe there will be a famine." Aunt Shen was only surprised In my heart, when I accompanied her home, when I was washing the dishes, I heard a mess of footsteps at the door.First of all, there is a man with an old straw hat thrown back and a short jacket with the buttons all the way to the chest unbuttoned, revealing a black and fat chest; He smiled and called his junior sister, and clasped his fists in a bow.The last one was Guan Shoufeng, who came in with a leg of lamb upside down.Going up from a distance, he said: "Your senior brother Zhou refuses to eat our meal for free, and even put a leg of lamb on it. Let's burn it and eat it." So he put the leg of lamb on the table under the eaves and led everyone into the house.Aunt Shen also came in to meet her, and Shoufeng introduced him. The one who came in first was called Kuai Dao Zhou, a sheep butcher; Ma Zi was called Jiang Lao Hai, a sugar blower;Shoufeng said: "Sister-in-law! I've told them all about you. They are all my good apprentices. As long as they agree to help, they can't say no. My apprentice, he lives in Dawangzhuang , the family still farms, and for my sake, I will never refuse to eat the steamed corn bread at his house for half a year." When he said that, he pointed to Wang Erbald, and he also smiled: "Listen, My master is a man of high morals this year, and I will never wrong you. I have a daughter-in-law, an old lady, and a big sister, and I will not go home for a whole month. If you say that the big girl lives with us, how can you rest assured? No more." Jiang Laohai said: "Second Brother Wang! Why do you say such things in front of other people's aunts here?" Baldy Wang Er said: "Don't say that, these days, people know people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is going to take refuge in someone else's house, can she not inquire about it? I'll just say it out, so as not to worry about it. It's not pleasant to hear, but isn't it better than someone's wondering?" This said, Everyone laughed.After a while, Xiu Gu finished the dishes.Put it on the table: two bowls of braised beef in soy sauce, a large plate of shredded pork stir-fry, and a large pot of stewed tofu with old chicken.Xiugu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhou! It's too late to cook the leg of lamb you sent. It's ready to simmer in the afternoon, and I'll serve you noodles." Kuai Dao Zhou said: "What's the matter? The junior sisters have all given out heavy rewards. Brother Wang! Brother Jiang! We have to work hard." Wang Er baldly stretched his head, patted the back of his head and neck with his hands and said: "This big Beijing city, except our master, who knows Ours? For Master, I am willing to leave this bald head behind." Everyone laughed again.While talking, Xiugu took out four thick bowls, carried a gourd, poured four big bowls of wine, and said with a smile: "This is for your four brothers, I and my aunt won't drink it." Said: "It's delicious beef." As he said, he took a steamed bun and dipped it in the beef juice. He took two bites and ate one first. He lifted his leg and stepped over the bench.Sit down first.Looking at Aunt Shen, he said, "Sit up, auntie. Don't joke. Our brothers are all rough and don't understand etiquette." So everyone sat down, and only the upper seat was vacant.Aunt Shen saw that they were all happy, so she sat down without any excuse.Holding the bowl, Shoufeng drank a couple of sips of wine, and then said: "It's not that I can't do big things today, and I want to drag you into trouble. I've read a few sentences, and I know that there is such a saying in ancient times: A scholar dies for his confidant. Like us But this Mr. Fan is different. He made friends with me and saved my life. When he made friends with me, not only his relatives were not happy, Even the servants in his relative's family are not pleasing to the eye. I have seen all the children of rich and noble families, and there is no one as open-minded as him. Er bald! Don't tell me, no one knows you? I dare say that if Mr. Fan and When you meet, he will know you. We have to make friends like this. This aunt's girl is Mr. Fan's young wife who has never been married; can we see that he suffers with our own eyes?" Xiu Gu said: "You The old man asked the three senior brothers for help, so he said that he wanted someone to help, so the bull's head was wrong, and after a while, he still didn't talk about this topic." Kuai Dao thoughtfully: "Master! We understand everything, so there is no need for the master to talk about it; the master just doesn't want to talk about it." He said, ask us to do a little thing, is there any trouble for us?" When he said that, everyone started to eat and drink.After they drank the wine, they all held steamed buns in their left hand and chopsticks in their right, and they couldn't stop eating.For fifty steamed buns, Aunt Shen and Xiugu only ate four or five buns before they were all gone.Connected to the noodle shop to bring pancakes, the four juniors each took a four-two-weight pancake, spread it on the table, mixed chopsticks with shredded meat, put it on the pancake, and rolled the pancake Roll it into a fist-sized roll, and eat it with it.After a while, the bread was also eaten.Xiugu put a few bowls of red bean and fine rice porridge in a large bowl, and put it aside to cool.At this time, when it was brought to the table, the sound of snoring was heard, and the porridge was drunk again.Aunt Shen was sitting dumbfounded, and Shoufeng smiled and said, "Auntie! Are you a little scared when you see us eating? Probably let the amount go, we can eat three to five catties of noodles, and we won't be tired. How about? A hundred catties of strength, where does it come from." Baldy Wang stood up and said with a smile: "Master! If you don't say these few words, I really dare not..." He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, and he had already brought the old chicken in the pot Simmer tofu and drink it when it is right in the mouth of the basin.After drinking the remaining soup in one breath, she put down the crockpot with a beep, and said to Xiugu with a smile, "Junior Sister! Don't be angry, it's not good for me to be a guest, so don't let your stomach feel wronged." Xiugu said with a smile "You just eat, and no one stops you. If you don't think it's enough, you still have half a chicken rack, you can take it up and eat it." Wang Erbald said with a smile: "Eat as much as you want, at the master's house, it doesn't count. Greedy." So in the basin, he picked up the half chicken bone rack, and dripped the soup and juice all over the table, but he didn't ask, he stood and bent over, and chewed the bone.Aunt Shen smiled and said, "Second Brother Wang, he is really interesting. I am a person with a lot of troubles, so I let him entertain me." This sentence reminded Guan Shoufeng.He said: "Sister-in-law! You are someone who has something to do, please go ahead. I keep you here to let you meet my apprentices, so that you can know that they are not bad people. Please call your eldest girl privately. Xin, no matter what you see tonight, don’t panic. If you panic, things will get worse.” Listening to Aunt Shen, she thought to herself, what the hell are they doing?But don't make a big deal out of it.But the person had good intentions, so I couldn't say that, so I thanked him and left.

Shoufeng said to Jiang Laohai: "It's time to use you first. You go to explore the road first, and I will ask Lao Zhou to follow me later to discuss it with you." Carrying the burden, he ran all the way to General Liu's mansion.First, go to the gate to have a look. It is in a side alley on the side of the street. There is an open space paved with stone slabs at the gate, which is surrounded by a horoscope wall. , one of the biscuits sellers rested in the shade of a tree.There were a few people who looked like servants, talking and laughing around the burden.At the gate, two guards with broadswords on their backs stood on the left and right.As soon as he moved, the red and green cloth hanging down from the handle of the knife couldn't be moved, and he felt a murderous look.Jiang Laohai also rested his burden in the shade of the tree, took out the small sugar gong and hit it twice.Look at the walls outside the gate, they are all made of polished bricks of one color. Although they are no more than one foot five or six feet high, electric grids are hung on the walls.The wall is even with the eaves, and the wall is the roof.From this wall to the right, turn to the north.It is a straight alley.Jiang Dahai took the load and walked into the alley, and saw the wall, which was dragged far away; he didn't turn until he turned around in the next alley, and it was clear that the Liu family's house was directly occupied between the two alleys.Carrying a load, I turned to the back of the house, but leaned against someone on the left, and went up the alley.Here is a small corner of the alley, so I rested my burden and looked around. I saw that the power grid on the wall was also constantly involved, and there were many small iron spikes tied to the wires, and sharp glass was inserted on the wall. piece.When looking into the wall, there is a dense branch and leaves, as if it is a small garden.In the middle of the turning, there are three small attics, which are more than ten feet higher than the wall; three shutter holes are dug in the wall, and the windows are tightly closed. About three or four inches away, the wire mesh was only stretched over the top of the window.Jiang Laohai stared in a daze, just scratching his hair.At this moment, someone chimed and said, "You sugar blower, why don't you beat the gong?" When Jiang Laohai looked back, it was Kuai Dao Zhou walking in front of him.Seeing no one around, Jiang Laohai said in a low voice: "I think the door here is very tight, and it's not easy to get in. There are only three windows on the upper floor. You can try." Kuai Dao thoughtfully: "Not only this, I Take a look, there are police posts at the entrances of these two alleys. It’s really inconvenient to come and go at night.” Jiang Laohai said: “Go back and tell the master, I’m still going around here and there to make way out more. Take a look at a few." Kuaidao Zhou is gone, and Jiang Laohai is doing business, and he walked around the streets and alleys here, waiting for the sun to go down, and then he picked up the burden and went straight back to Guan's house.Shoufeng lived with neighbors, but he kept quiet.At dinner, I only said that I invited three apprentices to eat boiled noodles with lamb shank, and the matter was settled. The neighbors in the courtyard are all small businesses, and they have a good relationship with the Guan family, so they will not doubt what they are going to do. amazing thing.After dinner, Shoufeng said that he was going to the Qianmen to listen to a night play, so the master and apprentice went out one after another.Wang Erbald borrowed two rickshaws and put them at the entrance of the alley, and everyone came out.Bald Wang Er and Jiang Laohai each pulled a car, walked outside the small teahouse with a storytelling table, one of them guarded the car, and the three of them went to listen to the book.It was already twelve o'clock after the bookstore was over, Shou Feng and Kuai Dao Zhou each took a car, purposely walked around the streets and alleys slowly.After about two o'clock, the car pulled to the back wall of Liu's house and stopped.

At the corner of this alley, there is a street lamp hanging over a foot high. It is very clear to see this place from the darkness at both ends of the alley.Shoufeng took out a large copper coin from his body and threw it at the light bulb, only to hear a sound of divination, and his eyes were darkened.Shoufeng looked up at the wall of the attic, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, just try the method we discussed." So Wang Erbald stood facing the wall, squatted down, and Kuai Dao Zhou stood up. On his shoulders, he stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, and stretched out his palms. Jiang Laohai stepped on his hands, walked up to his shoulders, then stepped on Kuaidao Zhou's hands, and then stepped on his shoulders, Then stacked into three layers of people.Finally, Shoufeng stepped on Jiang Laohai's shoulder, stretched his hand upwards, and with a slight shrug of his body, he grabbed the stone on the window, performed a parrot flip, grabbed the horizontal seam of the shutter pane with one hand, and squatted down. in the window.Seeing him standing still, the three people under the wall jumped off the ground. Shoufeng pinched the shutters on the window with his hands; He tore off a large piece of blinds, grabbed the window slit with his left hand, stretched in with his right hand, opened the iron hook, and inserted the upper and lower bolts, and opened a window.There are glass windows in the shutters, which are also closed; so I took out a glass cutting needle that I had prepared on my body, first cut a small hole in the glass, pinched it with my hands, and then cut it off in one piece; then went to With two pieces of glass, people can lean in.Shoufeng climbed in backwards, and looked around, but it was an empty building, so he opened the window, untied a hemp rope tied around his waist under his clothes, threw it against the wall, and Zhou took the rope with a quick knife , The fate came up, the two still closed the shutters facing outwards, and went downstairs to find the way.It really is a garden here, but there are deep weeds everywhere, it seems that no one has managed it for a long time.Find a road in the wild grass, go through the road, pass through a rockery, and there is a low wall, slightly rise from the rockery, and stand on the low wall.As soon as Shoufeng settled down, he quickly squatted down. It turned out that there was a row of lean-to houses opposite the wall, and the lights were brightly lit. After the window, the sound of knives and spoons, dishes, and dishes could not be heard; Blowing, observing the above, it is clear that this is the kitchen.Kuai Dao Zhou also squatted beside him at this time, pulled Shou Feng's clothes, and said softly: "The kitchen is still making food at this time, what should we do?" Shou Feng said: "You don't need to make a sound, just follow along." After squatting for a while, I heard the sound of the door being pushed, and then someone asked: "Mr. Li! Is it time to serve porridge?" Another person said: "Porridge is not allowed. You should prepare some noodles. Then Shen Miss Jia is still negotiating with the general." Another one said: "What Miss? She's just a little girl who sings drums." Shoufeng was taken aback when he heard this.Why do you still have to eat noodles to start negotiations? Is there any room for redemption?So I crossed the ridge of the roof and walked towards the front along the back of the ridge of a row of box houses. I saw a western-style building rising up in front of me. Behind the building was a high wall with even eaves. There were ten windows up and down, some of which emitted light. Come.Looking from a distance, the light on the glass window is reflected in green, in red, and in white.It is only on the window that one can tell where the glass window is a room.Which two places share the same room, the place with light, of course, is where someone is. From a distance, the red light is emitted from the upstairs, and there is a clump of black in the space outside the building where the light shines. The towering shadow hides the light, and where the light shines, it can be seen that it is a leaf in the sky; there is a thick horizontal stem in the leaf, but it stretches from the yard next door.When I looked back to the next door, there was an old locust tree towering above the clouds.Shoufeng was overjoyed that this was a perfect ladder, so he caressed the tile ditch and walked like a snake, and when he reached the eaves, he looked forward and saw that the yard was dark and there were no lights on, so he slid down. , the two hands landed first, pulled a big tripod, there was no sound at all, the two feet fell down, and the person stood up.Kuaidao Zhou was still squatting on the eaves, because the light from the window was blocked by the horizontal branches and leaves.The big pagoda tree on the edge of Shoufeng, when he got to the middle of the tree, he saw the end of the horizontal trunk, so he hung upside down, with his hands and feet stretched out.From the edge to the tip, it can be seen that there are still two or three feet away from the glass window. Inside the glass, there are two extremely thin red gauzes hanging.Looking from the outside, we can only see some faint furnishings in the room: it seems that there is a big mirror hanging in the middle of the wall, reflecting the electric light there. Somewhat alike.It's just that there are other people in this room with me?But can't see it.So while listening to the noises in the house, I looked at where the light wires in the house came from.Only in this silent time, in the silent and cool air, there was a strong smell of opium smoke. I used my nose to sniff the place where the smell of smoke came from, but it was downstairs.Aunt Shen once said: General Liu will smoke opium.To be able to smell smoke like this late at night in the upper room is certainly not someone else's work.Then he looked down at the terrain and found that they were about two feet away.So it coiled up to the treetop, let the horizontal trunk sink down, and then let go, and gently fell to the ground; turn right along the wall, and there is a corridor with a wall.As soon as he got here, he heard footsteps behind him, and he couldn't be careless, so he quickly jumped to the top of the corridor and lay flat on it.Sure enough, two people came over to talk.People passed by under the corridor, with a smell of oil and sauce, which probably sent dinner.When people passed by, Shoufeng raised his head, only to see light coming from a breathable hole on the wall of the building, standing on the top of the corridor, looking around.This is an ancient coin-style grid, but the small glass fan inside is set aside, and only the front half of the bed can be seen from the outside. It really is a person lying there smoking a cigarette. The dinner that was delivered just now is not in this room. .After a while, a maid in her thirties came in. The man on the bed rolled over and climbed up. He took a pipe in his right hand and stuck it in his thigh. He pouted his beard with his left hand and asked with a sharp smile, "Has she eaten?" The maid said: "She is eating, isn't the general going to eat?" Write me another letter, and I'll go." The maid agreed to go.Shoufeng was very puzzled when he heard this, and when he turned around, Kuai Dao Zhou was looking around in the corridor, he quickly jumped down, dragged him to a secluded place and asked, "Why did you come here?" Kuai Dao Zhou said, "I just crawled on the red The one looking out of the screen window is locked in that room, but the girl is eating noodles there comfortably, isn’t that strange?” Shou Feng complained, “Why are you so careless? People in the house saw it, but it’s not for fun.” Kuai Dao thoughtfully said: “Master, what’s the matter with you? Window screens are used to see the light in the dark, and there are electric lights in the room at night, so we are outside the window, so we just look in.” Shoufeng said with a oh: "I was stunned for a while. I think there must be ventilation holes in this room, and there must be ventilation holes in the other side. Let's go over there and have a look. Listening to what the surname Liu said, it's not sure yet. When it's time to sleep, let's not mess around." So the two walked across the double roof ridges, and then went to the yard on the other side of the long locust tree, and walked along the wall next to the building.There is no low wall between the wall and the building here, only a small passageway.There is no ventilation hole in the wall here, but there is a small window.Shoufeng estimated that the window was about one person lower than the eaves. He nodded, climbed up the big locust tree, crossed from the locust tree to the roof, then walked to the left side, hooked the eaves with his feet, and a golden The hook hangs upside down, and the person hangs upside down.It's not too high or too low. Just now, I stretched my head through the window, turned my hands around, and leaned on one side with the other. I pushed open the shutter, and I could see clearly in the room: facing the window, there was a red leather sofa and soft chair. , a very handsome woman, holding her right knee with both hands, sitting on it obliquely, that is undoubtedly Feng Xi.Looking at her face, she wasn't very scared, her head was facing the window, her eyes didn't move, she seemed to be thinking about something.The maid I saw downstairs took a towel and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "You still need to wipe it off, do you want to put some powder on it?" After wiping it, he lazily tossed the towel to the maid, who took it with a smile.After a while, they took a powder box, a powder jar, and a small mirror, and brought them all to Fengxi.Sure enough, Feng Xi took the powder jar, took out the powder puff, and pounced on the mirror twice. The maid smiled and said, "This is a powder cream from a foreign country, don't you need some?" Feng Xi threw the powder puff into the powder jar, shook it Shaking her head, the maid casually took the mirror puff and placed it on the table under the window.When I looked at the table, there were more than a dozen brocade boxes, large and small, some of which were opened and some were closed.When I looked inside the box, there were pearls and diamonds shining brightly. Next to these boxes, there were two thick account books and a small pile of Chinese and foreign keys.

Shoufeng saw it outside, and understood a little bit in his heart.Then, after hearing a sound of footsteps, Feng Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned around, and it turned out that it was General Liu who came in.He smiled at Feng Xi and said, "Miss Shen! Did you hear what I told them to tell you?" Feng Xi still turned her back and ignored him, General Liu pointed to the things on the table and said, "As long as you are willing, It's worth about 200,000 yuan, and it's all yours. If you follow me, although you can't say what you want, it will definitely guarantee you a lifetime of happiness. What I did yesterday is a bit ungrateful to you, as long as Promise me, I will save face for you." Feng Xi suddenly stood up, and asked with a straight face: "I have lost all face, what else can I do to get it back? You locked the girl at home. , Don’t you just do what you like?” General Liu bowed to her with a smile, and said with a smile, “Yes! It’s all mine. As long as you are willing, our happy event will be extravagant. "Feng Xi still sat down and turned her face away.General Liu said: "In the past, I really wanted to treat you as a concubine and just lock you up at home. In the past two days, I have seen that you are a man of character, very strong, and very sensible, enough to be my wife. Let’s formally renew you. Since I’m formally begging you, I have to make a good match. I have a friend, Brigadier Shen, who is also from Beijing. Let him recognize you as his distant sister and marry me here. Look at it. Is it enough?" Feng Xi didn't agree or refuse, she still sat with her back.General Liu turned his head and pouted at the maid, who left with a smile.General Liu closed the door, held the two account books on the table in his hands, and walked towards Fengxi.Feng Xi stood up and asked, "What are you doing?" General Liu said with a smile, "I told you, you are a man of ambition, do I dare to do anything wrong? These two account books, and the ones on the account books The bank booklet and stamp are a small gift from me, please accept it yourself." Feng Xi stepped back, pushed her hand and said, "I don't have such great fortune." General Liu went down Kneeling, she held up the account book and said, "If you don't take it today, I won't be able to kneel all night." Feng Xi leaned against the sofa and was stunned.He paused for a while, because he said: "If you have something to say, just get up and say it, you are a general, what is this like?" General Liu said, "If you don't take it, I won't get up." Feng Xi said: "Oh! Really! I'm tired of it. I'll take it over." As he spoke, he smiled sweetly.Exactly: Ruthlessness is the most golden thing, changing the hearts of children all over the world!Shoufeng saw it from the outside, he loosened his feet and fell to the wall, and fell straight to the ground in the corridor.Kuai Dao Zhou saw it on the low wall, thinking that the master had made a mistake, and was taken aback.Want to know if Shoufeng is in danger?Explain next time.
