117 Night Terror(2/2)
"Okay, now everyone can hide as we agreed before." Qingluan clapped his hands and looked solemn.
Behind her were Li Tiezhu's family and two maids, Xia Zhi and Qiao'er. When Bai Zhou saw this, he was about to follow, but Qing Luan waved his hand and said, "Bai Zhou, you go with Captain Ai and the others." It's really hard for a master like Bai Zhou to follow her.
It's a waste. She should cooperate with Captain Ai and others.
"But?" Her mission is to protect Qingluan's safety.
"No but, if you treat me as your master, just listen to me." Qingluan said with a serious face.
Bai Zhou then nodded heavily.
Qingluan looked at the several guards at Weiyuan Hou Mansion, each of them with bright eyes. Even though he was about to face a life and death test, no one refused.
"Captain Ai, you should also be careful." Qingluan gave the final instruction before going out with a few others. The place they were hiding in was the cellar behind Zhuangzi that used to contain grain. The entrance to that place was relatively hidden, relatively speaking.
It's also safer.
The last ray of light disappeared in the sky. After nightfall, there was no star or light in the sky, and the whole sky was pitch black.
Qingluan was hiding in the cold cellar, but his ears were listening to the movements above. The people in the cellar were all paying attention and did not dare to make even a sound.
Outside the hot spring village, there were a large number of men in black. One of them, who looked like a leader, left fifty people to guard the surroundings of the village to prevent any leaks, while the others followed him and jumped over the wall.
Just after landing, muffled screams could be heard from several places. Some people were fed animal traps as soon as they landed. Once the animal traps for large prey are clamped, even the bones will be broken.
, and many people fell into the pit. Before they could react, the scalding hot oil poured down on their faces. For a moment, their skin and flesh made a sizzling sound. No matter how long these killers could bear it, they fell into the pit.
, couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed out.
When the killer leader saw this posture, he knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, and shouted fiercely: "No one in the village will be left alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, the west side of Zhuangzi burst into flames, and the fire could be seen clearly even from five miles away. The assassin commander was shocked. He originally thought that this task was to see something simple and easy, but who
Knowing that they had just entered Zhuangzi, many people were beaten, but they didn't even see a single person in Zhuangzi.
"Spread out, everyone, be careful. There are probably a lot of agencies here." The killer leader gave the order, and the men in black dispersed in all directions.
In the darkness, Aiqi and several guards from Weiyuan Hou Mansion stared at the men in black. No matter what, it was a tough battle for them.
Instead of confronting the men in black face to face, a few people engaged in guerrilla warfare in an invisible manner. This was also a strategy that had been discussed from the beginning.
*****************
Although the sound insulation effect of the cellar is relatively poor, the sounds in the back still reached everyone's ears muffledly. Half an hour had passed. Qingluan didn't know what the situation was like outside. Aiqi and the others only had seven people at the beginning.
They can catch the killer off guard, but they will inevitably expose themselves later. Once they are under siege, they will not be able to withstand it for long.
Qingluan's heart felt like it was in his throat. Li Tiezhu's wife hugged her little son tightly. The child probably didn't understand what was going on. She only knew that her mother said she wanted to play hide and seek with him.
He couldn't make a sound. He looked at Qingluan and the others with his big eyes open, but his chubby little hands tightly covered his mouth.
Li Tiezhu and Li Daniu held a hatchet in their hands, but they were guarding everyone. They were the only father and son in this cellar, so they could only rush to the front if anything happened.
Time seemed to have stopped. Qingluan's palms were sweating. He was still worried about Wei Xin'er's condition and didn't know if she had been discovered. At this moment, he could only hear the sound of footsteps.
, everyone below had their hearts in their throats.
