The gunfire stopped and people were running quickly on the street.
Chen Baoxiang discerned the sound of footsteps. He stepped on the bluestone street with his round-topped cloth shoes. There was no heavy movement, only a slight squeaking sound.
In the distance, Japanese soldiers were screaming.
Chen Baoxiang entered the house and stood behind the door.
The back door was pushed open, someone stepped in, and then closed the door.
Chen Baoxiang could only hear the sound but could not see the movement at the door.
The pursuers came over and headed west again.
The man made sure that the pursuers were far away, so he quietly entered the woodshed.
"Is it Yu Shutong?"
Chen Baoxiang pricked up his ears and held his breath. When he heard the man's long sigh, he immediately identified him.
Knowing that it was Yu Shutong, he felt relieved.
The Shenqiang would not send so many people here just to save people. Especially if the second master Long Qianli also came, the problem would be even more serious.
Chen Baoxiang had a hunch that the sharpshooter would do something big.
For example, they want to find the leading car, and then use the leading car to go between the white mountains and the black water to find the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty.
According to both black and white legends, the reason why the Qing Dynasty's luck was so strong that Lian Keming's army, King Li Chuang's army and Wu Sangui's army relied on the power of dragon veins.
When Chief Han was here, he conducted several searches throughout the city in order to find the leading car.
"Whoever finds the dragon vein will have the destiny of the emperor!"
Guan Xizhi, one of the three great think tanks around Chief Han in the past, said this more than once, and explained in detail the origin of the Dragon Veins of the Qing Dynasty.
He firmly believed in the existence of the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein and strongly supported Chief Han to go all out to search for the leading car and eventually trace the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein.
In the past, Chen Baoxiang was just a bystander.
He wanted to live a stable life and did not want to get involved in the struggle between rivers and lakes.
Therefore, no matter what others say, he believes that the leading car and the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein have nothing to do with him.
Now, the appearance of the Gunslingers Club has brought everything to life before his eyes, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
Until dawn, Chen Baoxiang was in a daze, neither completely asleep nor awake.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw Gu Lanchun's frown.
"She is angry, she must be angry..."
After he woke up, he immediately put on his cotton-padded jacket and went to the woodshed.
There was no one in the woodshed, only a faint smell of blood remained.
It can be seen that Yu Shutong was injured.
In the morning, the store is open for business as usual.
The topics among the regular patrons all revolved around the murder case at Plum Blossom Mansion.
When Chen Baoxiang thought that it was not the Japanese who died, the words "wasted effort" came to mind again.
"Do you know? The Japanese were so angry that they killed so many people. They have been in Jinan for three years and have never met an opponent. Unexpectedly, so many masters came all of a sudden. I heard that it was these people
The hand that fell——"
The speaker put his right hand under the table and made an "eight" sign.
There were exclamations all around. Jinan people have long known that all soldiers in the eight fronts are masters. One can defeat a hundred, and they are brave and good at fighting.
"The Japs have posted a notice, offering a minimum reward of ten oceans to anyone who can provide clues. Damn it, the little Japs don't even think about it. Who in Jinan cares about this bounty? Anyone who kills the Japs is a hero, don't
I said I reported it, but if I knew who did it, I would definitely give them a longevity tablet at home!"
Chen Baoxiang listened silently. He believed that the notice posted by the Japanese would be effective.
Even if people in Jinan don't report it, there will always be people with evil intentions who will not distinguish between good and evil for the sake of reward.
"I have heard that when the Eighth Front Army enters the city, the good days of the Japs will come to an end. A few days ago, the Japs killed the Eighth Front Army's gold transport team in Weixian County in the east, which completely angered these gods. They came this time.
We have to fight the Japanese to the death, and we have already announced that we will kill all the Japanese - from Weixian to Jinan, not a single one will be left..."
Someone clapped their hands and praised loudly.
Some people lament that only the Eighth Front Army is the real hero.
Near noon, Chen Baoxiang was settling accounts with his head down when Wu Yixiao came in quietly.
"Third brother, where are yesterday's snacks?"
Chen Baoxiang was stunned, bent down and looked at it. He saw that the snack box was stuffed under the table, and he took it out.
"I went to see a friend, and when I got here, I realized that I didn't buy any gifts. I took the snacks away first and bought them for the children another day."
Wu Yixiao picked up some snacks and left in a hurry.
Chen Baoxiang was stunned for a moment, knowing there was something wrong here.
Liu Yue'e came out from behind and whispered in Chen Baoxiang's ear: "Master, when I was cleaning up in the morning, I opened the lid and looked at it. It was not a snack inside, but an iron lump wrapped in oil paper."
"What?"
"It's an iron lump, like a Laiyang pear, about as big as a fist."
Chen Baoxiang's heart sank suddenly. According to Liu Yuee's description, the snack box contained grenades or bombs.
There was a buzzing sound, as if someone suddenly punched him in the temple, causing stars to pop out of his eyes.
"Grenade, bomb... Wu Yixiao felt a little sad when he sent the box over. Could it be that he wants to destroy this place?"
This is the truth. Chen Baoxiang believes in his own judgment.
When Wu Yixiao took the box just now, it was not because of his conscience, but because he failed to find traffic officer Xu Huzi and would have to use Chen Baoxiang in the future.
"Is this still my brother? He is a vicious and vicious man, and I actually raised a venomous snake?"
Chen Baoxiang remained calm on the surface, but his inner anger could no longer be restrained.
He walked to the backyard and sat alone on the edge of the kang.
In the past, the four of them were sworn brothers and sisters.
Now, Wu Yixiao actually did such a thing, which was simply intolerable to him.
"I have to find him and let him explain clearly what he wants to do?"
As soon as the back door rang, someone came in and went directly into the north room. It was Yu Shutong.
"Boss Chen, here is a gift for you!"
Yu Shutong was carrying two boxes of snacks in his hand, and looking at the hemp rope holding the snacks, it was exactly what Wu Yixiao was carrying away.
"How to say?"
"Boss Chen, please don't tell secrets. Your good brother Wu Yixiao bought two boxes of snacks on the black market. They are not snacks, but real iron snacks. Hahahaha, he wants to send your good brother to the West...
…”
Yu Shutong's words were like two bayonets piercing Chen Baoxiang's chest.
Now, the evidence is conclusive, confirming Wu Yixiao's charlatanism.
"I don't believe it."
"Don't believe it? Boss Chen, I told you, we are all Jianghu people, don't do stupid things. When you see these snacks, you should understand that you have been sold. However, the person who wants to harm you finds that things have changed.
I had to change my plan and take away the snacks. I had already set my sights on him, but the rabbit’s tail couldn’t be hidden and was still exposed.”
Yu Shutong took it upon himself to open the box.
As Chen Baoxiang expected, there was a grenade in each box.
The tab of the grenade is fixed on the edge of the oil paper bag. If a child does not know the grenade, he will tear off the tab as soon as he tears the oil paper package and explode on the spot. There is no way he will survive.
Wu Yixiao said that this snack was bought for Xiuer.
If anyone is harmed, it must be Xiu'er.
Xiu'er was the eyeball of Chen Baoxiang and his wife, and Wu immediately aimed at her when he smiled, causing Chen Baoxiang to have murderous intent in an instant.
"He is unkind, and I am unjust!"
"Boss Chen, I have sent you the evidence. What you do next is up to you. However, I advise you to keep your eyes open when making friends in the future. Otherwise, you will not know how you will die if you are betrayed.
.”
Yu Shutong stood up with a smile, his posture a little stiff.
"Your left arm is bruised. I have a knife, gun, and red medicine here."
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Yu Shutong left happily, leaving behind Chen Baoxiang who was gnashing his teeth.
"Wu Yixiao must be killed. He said those words to Luo Hongying, and now he wants to kill Xiu'er and my whole family. I can't bear it anymore, I can't bear it anymore, I can't bear it anymore..."
