Chapter 54: The Cellar

Many times in his previous life, he told Li Xin that when you encounter gangsters, try not to resist, cooperate if you can, as long as the other party doesn't want your life, you can give him anything.

Li Xin is probably in such a state now, he can only find a way to stabilize this assassin who doesn't know where he came from.

He brought this person into the main hall of his house, and by the light in the main hall, he saw that this person was probably a middle-aged man in his early forties, not very tall, even shorter than fifteen-year-old Li Xin, wearing ordinary clothes and covering his face with a piece of linen.

After the middle-aged man carried Li Xin into the main hall, the dagger in his hand still did not leave Li Xin's neck, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Say." ”

Li Xin pulled his mouth and smiled reluctantly: "What does the eldest brother want me to say?" ”

The middle-aged man glared and spoke coldly.

"Say how to deceive those officers and soldiers."

In such a short period of time, where can Li Xin come up with any way, he just said that just to fool this outlaw first, at this time, Li Xin's brain was running rapidly, just a few breaths, he came up with a set of rhetoric in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, the smell of blood on your body now is too strong, those who are searching for you can smell it as long as they enter the courtyard, if you want to hide from those officials, you must change your clothes." ”

This assassin's body was full of blood, and Li Xin didn't know if it was his own blood or someone else's blood, so he couldn't tell what state this assassin was.

If he is seriously injured, Li Xin will find an opportunity to fight back, and he will be able to turn the corner.

The middle-aged assassin snorted and said coldly: "At this time, where is the time to change clothes, if you don't have an idea, Lao Tzu won't waste time, now I will kill you and continue to flee to other places......"

When he said this, he also coaxed Li Xin, these assassins fled in four ways, and the two of them were driven into Datongfang by those officers and soldiers, and now it is estimated that they have been surrounded by groups, so they can only find a place to hide, but if there is a way out, they will not get into a private house and block the back road.

There's really no way around it.

Originally, he just wanted to hide in Li Xin's courtyard, hoping that this young man could send away those officers and soldiers, but Li Xin's words just now erased this possibility.

Li Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a trembling voice with a frightened face: "Big brother, don't worry, there is a cellar in my kitchen, which used to be used to store old wine, you take off this clothes on your body, I will take it and deal with it, go to the bloody gas and then you hide in the cellar." When the officers and soldiers came, I flatly denied that the cellar was quite hidden, and that it was dug up by the elders to avoid trouble, and no one could find you. ”

The assassin was overjoyed, but said quietly, "Are you serious?" ”

"Seriously, naturally."

Li Xin nodded and said, "I can take my eldest brother to the kitchen to see that cellar now." ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "How do you know if you will go out to raise us, do you have any family, let Lao Tzu take one down to the cellar, and when we are safe, he will naturally be released." ”

Lee's confidence was awe-inspiring.

This middle-aged man, who looks a little rude, has such a careful mind.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Big brother, I live here alone, and looking at the situation outside, your sin should be not small, if I send you and take someone to the cellar to get people, as long as you hear movement above, you can bite me in, saying that I am your accomplice, and I will not be able to get away at that time, and everyone will have to die together." ”

The middle-aged man frowned, then took a deep look at Li Xin, and after seeing the young man's immature face, he said coldly: "You live alone?" ”

Li Xin nodded without hesitation and said, "I live alone." ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "When Lao Tzu was hiding in the courtyard, I heard you talking to a girl in the room, you quickly let the girl come out and go to the cellar with us, otherwise Lao Tzu will be ruthless, and you will not be able to live alone!" ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Big brother, that girl is my younger sister, she is only more than four years old this year, if she brings you in, she may make a move because of fright, and then she will expose you." ”

The middle-aged man said coldly: "It's just stunned." ”

Li Xin Duan Ran shook his head: "I can't make a plan, my sister is still young, I can't go in with you, if the eldest brother doesn't agree, then kill me!" ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't dare? ”

At this time, a young man dressed in black, staggered into the main hall, seeing his limping appearance, obviously with a leg injury, this young man walked in front of the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice: "Fourth uncle, those officers and soldiers are about to come in......"

They are a team of two people, and the division of labor is very clear, the young man is watching outside, and the middle-aged man is negotiating with Li Xin inside.

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Xin coldly, and said to the young man: "You go, go into the back room and bring the girl doll out, and then we will hide in the family's wine cellar together." ”

The young man had a short knife hanging from his waist, nodded when he heard this, turned around and walked towards Zhong Xiaoxiao's room.

At this time, there was a sound of shouting at the gate of Li Xin's courtyard.

"Yu Linwei takes the anti-thief, Yu Linwei takes the anti-thief!"

The voice was getting closer and closer, and he saw that he was about to approach Li Xin's courtyard.

Li Xin's pupils shrank, he thought that these two people were just ordinary assassins, at most they had a grudge with a certain dignitary in the capital, and killed the enemy in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect these two people to be so bold, and they were directly at the level of anti-thieves......

Anti-thieves, that is to say, they either assassinated the prince or the emperor!

Li Xin took a deep breath and whispered to these two people: "Did you hear, the official army is at the door, if the mother-in-law and mother hesitate, the four of us will die!" ”

The middle-aged man listened to the noisy voices of the officers and soldiers outside, then secretly gritted his teeth and said to the young man: "Go to the clothes!" ”

Li Xin took a deep breath and whispered to the middle-aged man: "I'll go get a quilt for my eldest brother, although the cellar is warm, there must always be something to cover your body." ”

The middle-aged man didn't accept the dagger on Li Xin's neck, and said coldly: "No need, we don't need any quilts, you quickly lead us to the cellar!" ”

Soon, the young man finished undressing, revealing his thin body, he threw the blood-stained clothes on the ground, and Li Xin saw that the young man's thigh had a narrow knife wound, which was still bleeding.

After the young man took off his clothes, he took the dagger from his uncle's hand and still restrained Li Xin.

The middle-aged man also began to undress, and it didn't take long for him to finish his clothes, and then from Li Xin's room, he casually tossed two clothes out, one on the young assassin and the other on himself.

He took the dagger in the young man's hand and said coldly to Li Xin, "Take us to the cellar!" ”

Li Xin snorted and walked towards the kitchen with the two men.

The yard is not big, and the kitchen is naturally very close, and it didn't take long for them to walk to the kitchen, Li Xin pointed to the pile of firewood behind the stove, and said in a low voice: "The entrance to the cellar is under the firewood, and the fathers and ancestors made it to avoid the military disaster." ”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and believed Li Xin's words.

He still restrained Li Xin with a dagger, glanced at the young man, and said in a low voice, "Move away from these firewoods." ”

The young man endured the wound on his thigh and began to move firewood.

In ancient times, war was a common thing, so there were indeed many families who dug a cellar at home, which was used as a wine cellar in peacetime, and when there was a war, the family would hide in it to avoid trouble.

People in the capital will also have this kind of cellar.

But it's a pity that Li Xin's yard doesn't have it.
