Qin Rui and Cheng Wan helped Li Si up, while Han Baihang carried Lu Xiaojia on their shoulders. Several people followed Zhao San into the kitchen.
It was past lunch time, and there was no one in the back kitchen. It seemed a bit empty. A bullock cart was parked in front of the back kitchen door.
Han Baihang put Lu Xiaojia on it and asked, "Is this what you used to sneak in?"
Zhao San pushed his eyes, moved the dry firewood on the ox cart, turned around and said: "This is just a temporary residence for Lu Xiaojia. Food, fuel and other things will definitely not be prepared for a long time. There are so many people, and later
There must be a huge demand for cooks. Things that need to be eaten, such as food, will definitely be strictly regulated. So smuggling fuel is the most convenient and safest way."
While listening to Zhao San's explanation, Han Baihang placed Lu Xiaojia under the firewood. Then Han Baihang and Li Si also lay down.
After covering the three people under firewood, Zhao San shouted and the ox cart moved slowly. Soon they arrived at the back door of Lu Mansion.
Because there had just been a fight inside, the soldiers guarding the door were very concerned about people coming in and out, and immediately stopped Zhao San and the others.
"What are you bringing here?"
Zhao San stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "We three brothers are all woodcutters. Didn't we hear that the Lu Mansion wanted to collect firewood?" He hurried over in a hurry, only to see Mr. Lu arresting people. Not to mention that the business could not be done. Time
It’s taken so long. Our three brothers didn’t even have a sip of water, not to mention eating. Oh!”
The soldier took a look at Zhao San and realized that there was indeed such a person in his mind. He burst into tears when he heard what Zhao San said. The vigilance in his heart disappeared, and there was still a trace of sympathy.
"Let's go quickly. The house is in a lot of chaos right now, and I don't know what else will happen. Don't come here again in the near future."
Han Baihang hid in the car, originally worried about being inspected by soldiers and exposing himself, but after Zhao San's careful performance, he passed so easily.
The bullock cart started moving again and stopped at the corner of the street. Han Baihang opened the firewood in front of him and held Lu Xiaojia on his shoulders.
"Follow me!" Qin Rui took the lead and walked towards the depths of the alley. After turning a few turns, he led everyone into a small house.
Everyone was sitting around the table, and the sunlight came in through the cracks in the window. It was a little dark and could not illuminate all the faces of a few people.
Han Baihang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "What should we do next? You two should talk about it."
Zhao San glanced at Qin Rui, and Qin Rui also glanced at Zhao San, but the two of them remained silent in tacit agreement.
The air solidified for a moment, and Cheng Wan suddenly felt that sitting with these people was not as good as going into battle to kill the enemy.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Han Baihang continued: "Lu Xiaojia is the one you want to bring back. Is there anything else you can't say now?"
Zhao San pushed up his glasses and said: "He has lived in Wuxi City for a long time, and this escape plan was also arranged by him. Just tell me."
Zhao San's last words were addressed to Qin Rui. This surprised Qin Rui. After all, if it was really counted, he should be an outsider and just helped them. But now it seems that he is getting more and more trapped.
The deeper it gets.
Following Zhao San's words, everyone's eyes turned towards Qin Rui. Qin Rui straightened his already straight back and said: "Originally, if you beat Lu Xiaojia again, you would immediately leave the city and reach the Yangtze River. Lu Xiaojia would be fine.
There's nothing I can do if I want to pursue him. But now."
Qin Rui paused deliberately, looked at Lu Xiaojia, and continued: "You can only rely on yourself now, and I have no obligation to help you anymore."
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard this. Only Zhao San showed no strange expression. When Qin Rui opened his mouth, he deliberately avoided us and talked about you, which meant that he already wanted to get away from people like himself.
.
He is an enemy to begin with, and being able to help him is already the utmost kindness. There is really no other reason to demand that others help him more.
But in this way, Zhao San's idea of pulling Qin Rui into the gang was ruined. Qin Rui glanced at Zhao San demonstratively, then closed his eyes and sat aside, not wanting to entangle with them too much.
.
Han Baihang had no hope that Qin Rui could help. He turned to Zhao San and asked, "How did you send Lan Chun and Mr. Dong out?"
Zhao San pushed up his glasses, glanced at Qin Rui and said, "That's Qin Rui's relationship. But now that Lu Xiaojia is missing and Gong Tianning is dead, the whole city is probably under martial law. It's probably harder to get out of the city than to go to heaven."
Cheng Wan said impatiently: "Can you blame us? It was Lu Xiaojia and the others who caused trouble first. Why do we have to hide here and there?"
Zhao San said coldly: "Let's leave it to Lu Yongxiang to say it when he comes to kill you."
Cheng Wan choked for a moment. In this era, whoever has a gun in his hand can speak with reason. Han Baihang didn't want to get entangled in these matters, so he turned to Zhao San and said, "Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"
Zhao San shook his head and said: "Wait a moment and listen to the news outside."
Everyone fell silent again. Qin Rui looked at a few people with a half-smiling look, half-squinting his eyes, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his stone-like face.
Cheng Wan glanced at Han Baihang, looking like he was hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Han Baihang couldn't help but frown and asked, "Just say what you have to say, don't hesitate."
"Should we tell Yushuai? Let him help and restrain Lu Yongxiang?"
Cheng Wan felt a little regretful when he said it. Wu Peifu was now fighting for power with Cao Kun in the central government and had too much time to take care of himself. How could he care about the life and death of a small company commander?
It was impossible to say that in order to win over Lu Yongxiang from the Anhui clique, it was possible to sell several of them. Therefore, Cheng Wan's suggestion was regarded as a joke by a few people, and no one took it seriously.
Li Si was seriously injured, Qin Rui provided some medicine to several people, and then sat next to Lu Xiaojia like a wooden man, silently.
The sky slowly darkened, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians outside. Han Baihang took a rest and recovered a lot of strength. He rolled down from his chair and said to Zhao San: "I'll go out and take a look."
Han Baihang walked towards the door and accidentally pulled Zhao San. Zhao San followed him knowingly. Han Baihang held the door handle and whispered, "Be careful with that person!"
Zhao San did not speak, but silently helped Han Baihang open the door. There was such a tacit understanding that no further explanation was needed for many words.
Han Baihang broke into the night and disappeared from Zhao San's eyes in the blink of an eye. Zhao San turned around and looked at Qin Rui involuntarily. The latter was still standing by the bed, and there was no wave in the ancient well.
But for some reason, there is a strange smell in the air.
