Chapter 21 Chapter 21.breakthrough
Dagou Xiong, who went west from Yanshi to Dahuze to unite the militia, walked slowly all the way. He didn't know that in the past few days, his partner Wang Dagui had been killed by Gu Ye in Wanwan after being tortured. On the red grass slope in the south of the building, Wan Zhenquan had cut off both of Guan Baye's eyes, making him the only lucky person in the Liuhe gang.
In the eyes of ordinary people in Yanshi, the road he took should be the most dangerous and the most difficult one, because as soon as he leaves the boundary of Yanshi, the Jiangfang army blocked by the mustache brigade along the way. Pulling a blockade, not allowing civilians to enter the lake, preventing the militia from being pulled out as a pretext, arbitrarily soliciting, robbing, and slandering the victim as a bandit, they will be shot and killed on the spot, almost along the line of Sanhe, each The trick of killing bandits is performed every day in villages and towns.Therefore, even the sweet-hearted Fang Sheng secretly sweated for him.
Don't look at Da Gou Xiong as a stupefied and thick guy, but apart from being drunk, he is thick and thin, with extraordinary intelligence and tricks conjured up in a hurry. Trojan horse, it's a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
He knows that on the ground of the Beiyang Defense Army, those bosses who are full of evil intentions are all bullying and fearing evil. The more honest you pretend, the more they will ride on your head to bully you; It's just putting on a strong posture, but they are afraid of you three points!Generally speaking, in the places where the defense army gathers, the real bandits and robbers and the kings of the world can walk around with their arms swaggering in a big way, but many honest and honest civilians are bullied and bullied.
Because of this, the big bear played the role of an idle uncle all the way.He was wearing a brand-new blue satin robe with a belt made of fine silk. He clearly had a pistol in his pocket and a pair of horses on his shoulders. Silver Ocean.
Those Jiangfang soldiers look at people with vivid eyes. They see that you have no bones or spines. They can bully you if they can bully you, and they can eat you if they can eat you. Dressed up like a big bear, you can tell at a glance that this guy is a man who runs the pier and messes around. He is a person of the first generation, and he has a backer to walk and a backer behind him, because if there is no backer, he will not have a gun and a stick, and he will not dare to reveal his money!According to the usual practice, most of these hard-nosed uncles communicate with the Beiyang government, and when the soldiers of the defense army see such people bravely, they will not be able to show their ferocious flames.
The more they are like this, the more the big bear can play on the road!
He eats well, drinks well, and gambles well!He specially looked for teahouses, wine shops and casinos where the defense army gathered to eat, drink and have fun, and hang out with those soldiers. However, there was one case that he never dared or forgot. When Master Chenguang walked in the aisle, he and Shorty Shi Er often made jokes because of drinking, which made Guan Baye worry and troubled, and repeatedly warned himself that alcohol could cause disorder; at that time, even if drinking made mistakes, still There are hordes of brothers carrying the burden. Now, Qianhu is carrying the burden alone, and if he misses a major event because of alcoholism, there is no one to help him anymore.Therefore, he is brisk on the surface, but his heart is always heavy like lead!
The little bearded traveler surrounded Dahuze on three sides. It looked loose, but in fact he worked hard secretly. It was really difficult for a person to get past the blockade and cross the lake!Maybe they also know that the commander-in-chief defeated Longtan, and the rumors on the Huai River have become tighter?In those market towns, gangsters, arrests of soldiers, and arrests of fugitives happened all the time, making the young and strong people disappear.
Even if he didn't drink too much, he had a lot of trouble along the way.
Once the trouble was at the casino, and a company commander of the Jiang Fang Army gave him trouble.That time, the company commander of the Jiangfang Army was gambling on the gambling table, and the big bear had two drinks in the small wine shop opposite, and heard the cheerful yelling in the casino and the memorabilia of the treasure singer. The door counted the crooked accent, and he didn't feel itchy hands, so he crooked his body and walked over, stretched his head and bet on it.
On all four sides of that table, there were around a dozen officers of the Jiangfang Army, all dressed in military uniforms indiscriminately, and the company commander with the nickname Lazi was the one who made the bet.
This person, Lazi, is just as spicy as his nickname, so spicy that people can't stand it, because he was born as a real uncle in the world, he set up a private brothel, had a small gambling group, and did a lot of murder and robbing activities; Once this kind of person makes a small fortune in the Beiyang Army, it will be terrible!Because he has sharp eyes and sharp ears, he has plenty of experience in dealing with things, he is full of crooked intentions, and he is more courageous than others, and he has more bad things than others.This guy has always flattered his superiors, bullied his subordinates, and is used to playing tricks, tricks, and tricks on his colleagues, especially when it comes to bullying kindness, he has endless tricks.
But Big Bear couldn't figure it out at all.
When the big bear squeezed onto the stage, it was at the moment when Lazi had bad luck and lost money. Those officials on the same platform were busy winning money, estimating the value of Lazi's treasure?How could he have the leisure to look at this new bettor carefully? !One or two of them glanced at the big bear. At first, they were half surprised and half skeptical about such a strange casual visitor, because on the blockade line, the sky and the earth are big, and no one is bigger than the officials of Jiang Fangjun. , if it is an ordinary common people, how can they have such courage?Those who dare to stretch their necks, raise their buttocks, and lean on their shoulders crookedly crowded on the gambling table where the Jiangfang officers gathered, and those who dare to squeeze here, needless to say, there are always some signs.
Originally, a man in a blue satin robe with bulging horses on his shoulders, squeezed into a crowd of officers and officers in woolen military uniforms, was particularly conspicuous.But looking at the big bear's expression of indifference, as soon as he squeezed into the auditorium, he lifted the two horses full of silver coins to the side heavily, making a heavy silver rubbing sound, those few thought that the person coming must be someone There is nothing suspicious about the local uncle, so he doesn't bother to ask.
Let me bet on it with my mother's skin, win some panchuan and go on the road!
As soon as the big bear opened his mouth like this, Lazi was already a little angry, and he couldn't help but burst out.
Generally, eight out of ten guys who are happy to gamble can't even talk about gambling products. They smile so hard that they can't see their teeth when they win money. In case of bad luck and losing money, that face will become invisible, cursing and cursing drippingly in his mouth, looking at Yinyang is not pleasing to the eye, and looking at human faces is even more unpleasant, wishing to wave Take the old punch.
Lazi is notorious for his gamblers. He relies on someone's gun and power. If he loses a little, he will have someone whip him and beat him with a shoulder pole. People can't get rid of their anger.The big bear was rushing up when Lazi lost so much that he was smoking, and before placing a bet, he said a few words that frustrated the other party. The anger of Lazi was even greater after he provoked him.
I'm fucking his grandma, I've never lost Kai Bao, today I must have met a goddamn unlucky ghost!While cursing, he looked at the big bear, indicating that he was the one who scolded him.
Dare to be!The big bear said without giving up: If you smash the pile, I will be the banker and win everyone!
Hey?Lazilian let out his breath through his nostrils, looked at the big bear and said, "I didn't expect you, my dear friend, to be a villager as soon as you came on stage?"How big a bet can you afford?
The big bear patted his bulging twin horses with a smile and said: If you don’t have money, don’t let go of empty talk. I’ll bet with you. I can’t afford it. Meaning.), Never let the bettors drink water!
Company Commander Spicy narrowed his eyes suddenly, as if he wanted to pick something out of the big bear.
Where did you get all this foreign money? !he asked, with some half-truth.
I can only tell you that it was not stolen, not robbed, and it was not picked up for nothing.It came from nowhere!Hehehe, the big bear laughed and said: If you have the ability to win it, it is yours!
When Big Bear said this, the rest of the people laughed.
Company Commander Spicy looked at the bag of Yinyang, and thought that he would slap his face down at that time and find a way to punish him. After everyone laughed, he realized that it was neither the time nor the place to slap his face. Find out the details of the opponent, and secondly, this is at the gambling table.He is an old oily man who is soft and easy, and when he thinks about it, he also laughs.
Place your bets!He said: I haven't smashed the pile yet!
He pulled back the empty treasure box, put it under his military cap, put his hands in it, and smoked fiercely with a cigarette in his mouth. The smoke rising from the tip of the cigarette smoked his eyes.Let me play tricks first and take this guy's pants off.
Through the smoky space with squinted eyes, what he looked at was the bulging money bag.Although he is not a professional gambler, he has been rolling in casinos for many years, and he has also learned a lot of tricks when loading treasure. He did not put the treasure idea into the treasure box, but put four treasures in one hand. The cards shrank back into his sleeves, he wanted to win money by being a ghost.
Bet it, guys!He said: Baolai!
All the bettors were nervously playing with the coins on the table, thinking about what the idea of Captain Lazi's treasure was.In the last treasure, he pretended to turn two to three (after pretending to be two, he pretended to be three.), how much should he bet on this treasure, three turns? !
Usually when people gamble, they have such a temperament. If the dealer is lucky, they will make a few big bets in succession, and when the losers get angry, they will open their hands and close their eyes. , if the dealer pays more and eats less, the more everyone wins, the more they think, speculate with each other, and discuss in low voices.No one knew that the treasure box covered under the flannel was empty.
Everyone placed their bets one after another, and Baoguan sang bets again with a slanted voice, single and double braces, red and black bars, single rushing and turning, the big bear grabbed a lot of foreign money, and he was not in a hurry to place bets He just stared at Company Commander Lazi with a smile on his face, with a secretive look on his face, as if he had seen through the secrets under the black flannelette.
Company Commander Lazi told him to stay away, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Last treasure, what is he pretending to be?The big bear put his elbow on the one next to him and said.
The equipment is two to three.
Don't ask, Lazi likes Diaobao the most, and there is another three in a row!Another said: I fucking bet on it for a solo triple!
I bet two.Another said: Bet on the second and turn the third, I will prevent him from being a fairy shuttle, and the second and the third will turn over.
How much did he put on the next treasure?The big bear was speaking slowly again, showing hesitation.
Why are you asking so much?Hehehe, the remaining cigarette butt was still dangling from the corner of Lazilian Chang's mouth, half of his face was smiling, but the other half was tense, with the corner of his mouth hanging crookedly to one side.
I want to be more unpredictable.Big Bear said seriously.
You're as big as a bear and as courageous as a mouse.La Zilian's long words were stinging, and he said clearly sarcastically: "This treasure, are you betting or not?"Others are waiting for Liangbao!
No, no, no, the big bear was not angry, and still said slowly: If you bet on a treasure with someone you don’t know, you should watch him reveal the three treasures according to the rules, and then place a bet after finding out how he installs the treasure. It's like throwing foreign money into the water, the difficulty is here, I have to think carefully.
You bet three crutches and two crutches is not bad, and the other one made up his mind for the big bear and said: Otherwise, betting two crutches and three crutches is fine!I guess he can't pretend to be a treasure!
Not necessarily, the big bear leaned back and said with a smile: Maybe there will be five in the treasure box!Then, we will all lose miserably!
Big Bear's gentle joke made a group of people laugh out loud. Usually when a person tells a joke, he laughs first, but not Big Bear. The more others laugh, the more he will As if nothing happened, with a dull face, he muttered: Bao Kai Wu is Bao Kai Wu, what's so funny about that?
It was fine if he didn't ask, but this question made everyone laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten up.
There was a guy in riding boots who pointed at him with his finger, smiled for a while, and then asked him back with force: Don't make us laugh out loud!Are there Bao Kai Wu in the world? !
Don't worry about your intestines, the big bear said: You officials are vying for fame, and your intestines are often filled with chicken, fish, meat and eggs, which are very oily; this kind of oily intestines are very strangled, and you can't stop laughing.
Is there really Bao Kai Wu in the world?Captain Lazi put his hand on the black velvet of the treasure box, stood up, and said with one leg on a stilt.
I have seen it with my own eyes.
Have you seen it with your own eyes? !said the questioner.
Of course.The big bear said: Earlier, when I went to gamble with my dwarf brother, I ran into a shameless man who was blind and wanted to play tricks in the treasure box. coming!I said, the doctor in the casino really didn't know himself, and he didn't know how to do it, so what kind of tricks did he do? !
Even if the big bear's speaker had no intentions, Captain Lazi had the listener's intention. Hearing the big bear's words, his heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he covered it up with a string of irrelevant haha.
This treasure opened five is not bad, the big bear said again: there are some doctors in the Jianghu who specialize in gambling on ghost treasures, and guys who rely on tricks to get money for a living, do you know what is under that black velvet cloth?Hehehe, he shrunk his neck while talking, and smiled secretly, deliberately curtailed the conversation, and spread his hands in all directions.
It's not pretending to be a treasure card, but is it still pretending to be side?one said.
What are you pretending to be? !Another urged.
He didn't pretend to be anything, Big Bear shook his head and said: He only put an empty treasure box at the bottom.
interesting!So fucking funny!Several clapped their hands and exclaimed: If he only empty the treasure box, let's see how he shines the treasure?If there is such a guy who uses this method to cheat us of money, it's no wonder we don't work together to scalp him alive!His grandma's.
Company Commander Lazi blinked, his scalp felt a little hot and numb!Although he is a savage and vicious guy, he doesn't care much if he deals with Big Bear alone. The hateful thing is that the other party's intentional or unintentional words have provoked a dozen colleagues at the same table; Kongbao, if he was asked to expose it on the spot, it would be too damn bad for everyone to be outraged!When he thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he still held back calmly.
All the bets are in place, waiting for Liangbao
The disgusting Baoguan didn't understand the secret glances that Company Commander Lazi gave Liangbao at this terrible time.
So fucking interesting!interesting!He pretended not to hear Baoguan's words, and he also jumped in and yelled: There are people who open treasures who can use this method. I have been playing in casinos for many years, and I have never seen such people. Well, of course, since he knows how to use this trick, he won't show the empty treasure box when the treasure is revealed, begging for beating in vain, right?
In the mind of Captain Lazi, this is the calculation: Although this guy looks stout and burly, he can't see how clever he is, maybe he didn't mean to say it to himself; but since he said such a thing It can be seen that he is very familiar with all kinds of small tricks of gambling, so I have to be on guard against him. If he sees a flaw when he is playing treasures, things will not be easy to handle, so it is better to pretend to listen to what he said. For this matter, when everyone sees that they are obsessed with obedience, they will quietly use some tricks in the dark, and put the cold ideas of each door, which is not a bet, into an empty treasure box, and eat it clearly at that time. Once you have paid the money you have paid for, you don't have to worry about it.
Of course he won't reveal the empty treasure box!The big bear smiled at him, gritted his teeth and said.
He will conjure up four precious cards and follow his instructions?Another said: I don't know how this trick is played?Can you tell us something to gain insight?
When the man asked this, Captain Lazi stretched his neck and listened. Whether he was obedient or not, when he was obedient, he shook his right shoulder slightly, slightly retracted his right arm, and pointed his finger in the cuff Holding the treasure card in his pocket, he tapped a No card with the tip of his little finger.
Just when he was about to take advantage of this rare opportunity and sneak it into the empty treasure box under the black flannelette without everyone noticing, unfortunately the guy on the opposite side showed another trick.
Everyone, please look at this treasure box hidden under the black velvet cloth!
As soon as the big dog uttered these words, he pulled many eyes around him that were looking at him to the black velvet cloth in the middle of the gaming table with his fingers. Captain Lazi was taken aback and hurriedly Pushed the card back with the middle finger, and it was still hidden in the armhole:
Oops!He resented in his heart.
Take this treasure as an example, if he released an empty treasure.
What are you talking about? !
As soon as the big bear opened his mouth, the company commander Lazi felt guilty, but he had to pretend to be tough, and yelled angrily, "Aren't you deliberately bullying people?" !What if what I showed was not a fake treasure? !
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just making an analogy, I'm talking about how the casino doctor manipulated the treasure.The big bear continued: "If this treasure, the official is a doctor. He produced a fake treasure. The treasure box is empty and there is no idea at all. I'm really sorry. I'm just making an analogy, more like you guys He has no experience in this kind of business, and was deceived by him. Focusing on this piece of black flannel, he racked his brains to think about what ideas the dealer put in the treasure box?what?What about two?What about three?What about four? !In fact, no one guessed that these treasure boxes were empty at all!
So what about Baobai?
Treasure card? !Hehehe, the big bear squinted his eyes again, and laughed in an unpredictable way.The sound waves of that burst of laughter, like stacking towers, climbed higher and higher, reaching an ear-piercing level.
Company Commander Lazi was being carried up and dragged by the string of laughter, feeling a little dizzy, where did the usual spicy smell go? !
Hehehehehe, hehehehehe, the big bear laughed so hard that he went on to say: The treasure cards, a total of four yuan, are all hidden in the armhole on his right!
At this time, two guys started joking with the company commander Lazi!
Hey, our second brother, you have to pay attention and learn a little bit, if you know how to play just now, you won't lose money!
How can our chili know that he can't do that?But it didn't work out!The other tugged at the dealer's sleeve and said.
No kidding!Spicy company commander said, sweating profusely.
This is really a terrible time; so that the company commander Lazi can't help but suspect that the other party is deliberately embarrassing him. Maybe he has already seen through this small trick when he is playing such a trick, but the other party pretends not to know and waits until the empty box is delivered to the gaming table , seizing the opportunity of not having a bright treasure, deliberately torturing himself!Otherwise, his talking head would never have been spinning around his neck, as if he wanted to strangle people to death!I am confident that I have read a lot of people, but I didn't see that this guy would be so hot when he was whole? !At first, he put the reed head loosely around his neck, and slowly tightened it, and then slowly retightened it. When he was about to try to steal the treasure card into the treasure box, he switched the reed head and put it on. Everyone's eyes fell on the black velvet cloth, deliberately making themselves helpless.
He stared at the big bear's smiling face with eyes full of hatred, gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart: Good boy!We are not gentlemen, non-toxic and not husbands!If you intend to make a fool of me on the gambling table, expose my face, and make me unable to get off the stage, you have to be careful, this is my defense zone, I will order a few soldiers to detain you bravely, and find you a little evil Son, treat you like a fugitive and a bandit!Let's wait and see!Fuck you rascal!
For example, he tucked the four precious cards into his sleeves, while the big dog was talking, he reached out to take four silver coins, filled the four precious cards, and shrank them into the right sleeve, showing his own experience Make gestures: He looks at your bets. For example, for this treasure, you all bet three and two, so he secretly takes out one and holds it secretly in his palm. When buying a piece of black flannel cloth, you put it into the treasure box with a very fast method first. When you meet such a person, is there anyone who doesn't lose money? !
Company Commander Spicy's face became even more disfigured, because he could see that every move of the big dog was intentionally imitating himself.
According to you, if we meet this kind of person, how can we guard against him?One asked with his head tilted.
There are ways.The big bear tore apart the two horses slowly, grabbed a few handfuls of silver coins, and stacked them into stacks, forming a circle around the treasure box.
Once the circle was stacked, Captain Lazi's face became even more pale like a corpse.He knew that he had met a real expert, because the circle formed by stacks of foreign money was designed to break the sky treasure.He surrounded the circle properly, and his somersault was settled.The most hateful thing is that the other party is not only like this, but also talking about it triumphantly.
All casino doctors who do tricks rely on boldness and carefulness, quick hands and sharp eyesight. The big bear said: But if they want to put the treasure cards into the treasure box, they have to act on the smooth table of the gambling table; but Well, if there is Yinyang separated by this circle, it will not be so convenient for them!Unless you are very skilled, if you want to play ghosts, you will never be able to play again.
You don't have to be a poor bastard, man.Baoguan spoke on the side: this treasure, do you bet or not?What are you betting on?Hurry up and type out the code (when placing a bet, the coins are arranged in a certain shape, commonly known as playing the code.)!Our treasure should be a treasure!
How about it?Da Gouxiong smiled at Company Commander Lazi and said, "Old buddy, we are all gangsters in the world. Since you are not doing well, it would be too unreasonable for me to throw another stick at your pile. Bao I do not bet.As he said that, he stretched out Yinyang, who was in the circle, and hugged him in front of him, saying: "You bright treasure!"I guess it is!
Company Commander Lazi is so clever. Once he saw this scene, he knew that the other party wanted to excuse him, and to save face for himself, he hurriedly spit out thick smoke and said: "Your brother is a fortune teller, isn't he just one?" !
Taking advantage of the smoke, he stretched out his hand and uncovered the black flannelette.
In the treasure box sits a bright red dot
Of course, the company commander of Lazi came with a package of picks, and everyone took all of them.It was by relying on this one-take-all that he won all the money he had lost before, not only keeping his old capital, but also a lot more.
Amidst the commotion, screams and sighs, Company Commander Lazi quietly gave Big Bear a grateful look, and Big Bear immediately gave him a knowing smile. , They all laughed like crazy.
It’s usually like this between people: when you resent someone, you resent to the bone, looking at him, everything is not pleasing to the eye, listening to him, you are so angry, but once you turn around, looking at him, everywhere They are all pleasing to the eye, listening to him, and feel that every sentence is pleasing to the ear.
Company Commander Spicy was grateful to Big Bear for staying the last step, which saved his face and won him a lot of money. Not only was he not angry that Big Bear played tricks on him, but he deliberately made friends with him.But Da Gouxiong didn't know that Company Commander Lazi had such an intention, which caused him to get into trouble.
For this old, cunning and murderous guy, Company Commander Spicy, he wanted to make friends with big dogs, but he was still selfish in his thinking. His ears were as sensitive as a dog. The moment to jump out and join the Beiyang Army is exactly the time when the Beiyang warlords are full of arrogance. Today one department fights another department, and tomorrow Zhang Tuan eats Li Ying. But there are many heroes who smoke opium, grow mustaches, marry concubines, play actresses, make a fortune in foreign countries, have enough official addictions, spend their days and nights, and have a lot of sensuality.
The lower-ranking officials in the Beiyang Army generally have the illusion that one day I will make a fortune. Since I got into this way with a flat head, I have to rush to join the gang, get a status, a name, and join the club. A backer, busy drinking and chatting, promoting feelings, exchanging posts, folding soles, worshiping handles, you are the master, he is the apprentice, everyone is a good brother who is loyal to Jinlan. The party is useless.Especially the reckless and ambitious people like Company Commander Spicy, who came from evil backgrounds, are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, because if the world is not chaotic, there will be no need for so many people to play with guns. hero?
In the early years, I listened to the legends of how the reckless heroes made their fortunes. The more I listened, the more fascinated I became. The cowherd boy, who fled to Kanto, worked as a bodyguard in a small casino, and made his fortune in one fell swoop. Feng Yuxiang ate a meal of rebellion, and Sun Chuanfang was a black crow hero who only made a living with other people's hot jobs. ? !After having this kind of thinking, he also insisted on eliminating dissidents and making friends with the heroes of the world, making it a gangster.It's a pity that the strong wind of the current situation didn't blow to him. After being around for several years, he was still a small company commander, serving the job under the crotch of the bearded brigade commander.
I wanted to be patient and wait for the opportunity, but in the blink of an eye, the situation in the wild was surging, and that kind of hero had already been blown like a paper man by another new trend, untenable .With his accustomed ears, he heard many news that shattered his earlier dreams.
When the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces first started, they were so powerful that they were blown away by a gust of wind!What kind of elite soldiers were the Northern Expeditionary Army?Are they all tough people?Beat the hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops in the south of the Yangtze River so that they have no way to go to the sky and nowhere to enter the earth? !They divided their forces into several groups, and all routes were victorious. Could it be that there are heavenly soldiers and generals to help them?Are there invisible gods and Buddhas protecting them in secret? !
Doubt despite doubts, facts are facts. Let’s take the defeat of the Longtan army as an example. mouse!The more I look at it, the more I feel that the good times of the Beiyang Army are not always good, and it is the turn of the sunset in the blink of an eye!Some people say that Sun Chuanfang has left the remnant soldiers on the Huai River and fled to Shandong on his own. With his virtue of snub nose, can he survive the crisis alone?Don't say that people don't believe it, even if you tell ghosts, ghosts don't believe it. What if the day of total collapse is imminent?The first thing that Company Commander Lazi thought of was to get a sum of money, and then try to save his life when he has money.If you want to save your life, you have to take off your body two feet and a half in the local area, find a friend in the local world, try to hide it, and help out as long as the common people don't kill it at that time, you can relax in the future.
Because I had this idea a long time ago, now seeing that the big bear is not evil to me, it arouses my thoughts.
Judging from the other party's clothing, attire, the guns he carries, and Yinyang in the double horses, plus the way he talks and laughs when he squeezes into the gambling game, he must have some power. There is a friend who has a glass of wine and a meal, and when he needs his help in the future, it is better to be more talkative. Since the overall situation is not good, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to offend this kind of wandering man.
But Da Gou Xiong didn't expect the other party's thoughts. He wandered around the place where the Beiyang army gathered along the way, just to hurry on the road safely. Fang Sheng told him that he wanted him to go to Dahuze as soon as possible and meet the old man Peng. Be quicker than slow, he knows, otherwise he would not be able to cross the river.
Although the big bear is using these officers and soldiers of the defense army, he has always hated them stubbornly. Guan Baye has long said: Jackals, tigers and leopards in human skin are not human after all, they are just empty human figures!The consciousness of being promoted and getting rich deep in their hearts can't be shaken off for the rest of their lives!It has become a common habit to oppress the old people.In the final analysis, it is a private word!
Ba Ye said this, but he didn't hate anything, he just sighed sincerely!But in my heart, I can't tolerate these evil-skinned guys. Although I can't say that I want to kill them all, at least after the Northern Expedition, even if these speculators surrender, anyway, I can't allow them to take guns .
He didn't really mean to make friends with each other at all.
But the company commander of Spicy, after the game was over, entangled him like a ghost wrapped around his legs.
Hey, I said brother, can't you be so disrespectful? !Brother, this is sincerity, prepare a glass of water and wine, and express your gratitude. In this remote small place, there is no good food and wine, so please bring some forgiveness.
If not, I'm on my way.
It's not fun to rush on a hungry belly.
Besides, we met by chance, with unknown names and surnames.When the other party was obsessed with asking the big bear to eat, the big bear couldn't entangle him, so he had to change the subject and say: Open your mouth to eat, it's too shameful, isn't it? !If we are really destined, let's talk about it next time we meet.
You are wrong!In terms of friendship over wine and dinner, the first time is raw, and the second time is familiar, otherwise how can they become warm?
where?Mountains don't turn, water turns, people don't die, we will always meet again.
I would rather bump into it than wait.
Company Commander Spicy's thin mouth with a thin yellow mustache was very good at talking, and his words were so good that the big bear couldn't beat him no matter what he said, so he dragged him three times and dragged him to a small tavern to talk The friendship is gone.
No matter how shabby those small town shops are, as long as there are guards, teahouses, taverns and prostitutes are all popular industries, because those people are like a flock of hungry crows, drunk now when they have wine.Tasting tea, drinking too much, gambling and prostitution are their main ways of life, just as smuggling arms and forming gangs are their other main way of life.Company Commander Spicy dragged the big bear into the tavern. He thought it was just the first move of friendship, and there were some tricks to come.
After the two clinked glasses, Captain Spicy broke his conversation.
I said brother, you must have practiced that set, otherwise how would you see
There is no such thing.The big bear squinted and said: That's just a coincidence.
You're so polite it's almost a joke!
Company Commander Spicy smiled with evil sensual intimacy.
All in all, this time you are really friendly enough and good enough friends!He also said: I don't want to miss the opportunity to make friends. Really, I haven't asked your brother's name yet.
I should be considered a big surname!The big bear said with a froth.
Da?Company Commander Lazi said: But what about Shi Dakai?
The big bear shook his head.
Isn't it the one from the dignitaries? !
We poor people, how can we have the qualifications to touch the side of dignitaries?Big Bear laughed and said: My surname is Da, the big and small ones, I can barely say it is a big treason, I feel sick to my stomach when I look at the Beiyang government, in your opinion, isn't it a big treason?
You, your brother, can really joke!Company Commander Lazi clapped his hands and pointed at him with a smile, saying: You don’t want to lie, I’ve searched all kinds of family names, but I’ve never seen one with a big one.
good.It's a weird surname.The big bear stuck out his tongue and licked his lips and said: So I'm not a fucking commoner, I'm a fucking alien who doesn't care about Beiyang's kingly laws.
What about Taifu?
You ask knowingly.The big bear said: Just now on the audience stage, you named me and scolded me. I didn't bother with you, just because of my good self-cultivation. Otherwise, no matter what kind of official you are, I should beat you up!
Injustice and injustice, Captain Lazi said: Brother really doesn't know, it was all unintentional offenses, who is your name?
bear.Big Bear said seriously.
Company Commander Spicy couldn't help it, and laughed so hard that he held his belly.
I am a bear, but I am not a bear who is chained up in a circus troupe and allowed to play tricks.Big Bear explained: I am a wild bear by the deep mountains and big swamps. I have such a temper, so others call me Big Bear. As for my original name, I have long been thrown to the dogs.
Unrestrained!Your brother is so bold!Company Commander Lazi put on a look of hating each other, and said flatteringly: If you joined the army in the early years, with your temper and stature, at least you should get a battalion commander
The ability to raise dogs is Beiyang.The big bear said: Don't be angry with me when I say this, I need to explain.I say this only for myself, not to mock you.
I am not angry.Company commander Lazi said: I am waiting to teach here!Brother, believe what you say, there must be truth.
Does it make sense?That's easy.The big bear tapped his fingers on the table and said: As long as you reverse what I just said, it will become dry Beiyang is a dog's breed!
Although Company Commander Lazi just said that he was not angry, the big bear pointed his nose and cursed at others, the smile on his face froze, and he became a little annoyed.Thinking back on the gambling table just now, this person is also like this, with a moody face, at first he was obviously trying to trick you, but when he was messing you up to the extreme, he suddenly turned around and gave you unexpected benefits.When you invite his guests, get acquainted with him, and treat him as a friend, he will shoot back and pick you up.He confessed that he didn't understand what was on his mind?Or is it just his natural temper?
I said, one has to know the times, man.The big bear's eyes flashed, and suddenly he said in a low voice: People have two eyes, so they can always see the general situation around them clearly, right?
This unfinished sentence suddenly woke up Captain Lazi, because this was exactly what he had been thinking in his heart for a long time.
The Beiyang Army is exhausted!The big bear said, "Your big bosses have dark eyes and no future. Where is your future?"塌鼻子如今業已是強弩之末，變成瓦罐裏的螺絲，你們還值得跟他賣命，與大湖澤裏的民軍為敵麼？
你老哥是替民軍來當說客的？辣子連長說。
我替誰當說客？大狗熊推了推酒盞說：你要是明眼人，就該看清楚，江防軍在這一線上，任挺也是挺不久的了！算他北伐軍打過來，寬懷大量不追究你們，可是你們要保命，就得及早修行。
你說修行？像我這類六根不淨的，拿什麼修行？ !辣子連長說。
我並非要你剃光腦殼去做和尚，大狗熊笑說：像你們今天有槍桿兒攢在手裏，欺良民，壓百姓，抓逃勇，捕壯丁，拉伕子，劫財物，你們越貪圖一時的快意，你們的罪行也就越深，日後時局一變，平民百姓就饒不過你們了。我指修行，就是勸你們少幹惡事，廣結善緣，聽不聽在你，與我沒相干。
辣子連長沉吟了一忽兒，舉起壺來替大狗熊斟酒，岔開話頭，問大狗熊朝哪兒去？大狗熊說是意欲過湖。辣子連長說過湖必先過河，要經過民軍的地面；大狗熊說是在世面上混的人，不管哪方哪面全是一樣。
辣子連長說：老哥，說是這麼說，不過最近風聲極緊，旅長他有嚴令，任何人打算到河南去，都要拿當奸細辦，就地槍決掉！咱們端著人家的碗，祗怕通融不得。
看機會罷，大狗熊說：沒有擔風險的心，就不必在這種亂糟糟的辰光跑碼頭混世了！
你實在要冒險朝西去呢，兄弟當然沒法子把你攔著。辣子連長說：不過得請你暫在這兒待上一兩天，一來是歇息歇息，讓兄弟盡盡地主之誼，二來容兄弟差得力的人到西邊去，先替你鋪條暗路過河不敢說，至少行走要方便些兒。
鋪暗路，你說是？ !
不錯，西邊一線上，有很多官兒跟我全是一把子，把兄把弟。辣子連長說：這兒耳目多，不是說話的地方，容咱們換個地方，深談談，怎樣？
OK.大狗熊說：你說去哪兒？
後街。辣子連長說：我有個老相好的，諢名叫洋麵口袋，她那兒清靜些。
大狗熊不說話了，跟著對方走出酒館。河堤背脊上的街道不遮風，天色有些陰沉欲雨的樣子，刮著冷瑟瑟的東風，天約莫到了入暮的時辰了。他跟著對方在街上走著，一心盤算著如何過河入澤地的事情，像辣子連長這種北洋軍裏的下級官兒，大半都像從一個模子裏脫出來的，他祗消一過眼，就看透了他們；不錯，這個典型的老油子一肚子全是壞水，他們翻雲覆雨弄慣了的，笑著臉就能出賣你，但在局勢危急的辰光，他們就決沒那個膽子，他們是吃硬不吃軟的，經不得嚇唬！要想利用他們協助自己過湖，非得扮成一切不在乎的那種角色不可。
自然囉，若按照日程算，自己恨不得三腳兩步就跨過河去，但最近的渡口離腳下也有幾十里路，各處緊要的地方，都有兵勇扼守著，若說硬碰硬強上渡船，那是不成的，也許從這傢伙身上，能得到些方便，因此，留它個一天半日，也就算不得耽誤了。
兩人走到後街的一座深巷裏，辣子連長去敲一處矮屋的門，大狗熊一瞧光景，就知這是一處北地小鎮上半開門的暗娼的住處，那個洋麵口袋，不用說就是這種貨色了！
噯，洋麵口袋，開門罷！
剝剝的敲門聲傳進去，一時沒見動靜，辣子連長回頭望望大狗熊，又伸手去敲門。
活見他娘的大頭鬼，耳朵聾了，我說，洋麵口袋，快開門！
也許裏頭還藏著個打野食的呢，大狗熊說：你何不大開方便之門，留他個翻後牆的空兒。
她要是吃野味，老子就活劈了她！辣子連長恨恨的說：老子拿白花花的大洋包她的月，卻讓野小子白佔便宜，老子才不做那個冤種！Did you hear that?洋麵口袋，快開門。
甭認真，開心逗趣的事兒。Big Bear said.
我倒不是認真，又不是結髮夫妻，辣子連長說：她他娘笑著臉接我的包銀，我拿她送朋友呢，也落個人情哩，她要真背著我打野，那明明是嫌我那方面不行，我是忍不得這個！說完話，他又去敲門，又敲喊了幾聲，這才敲出個應聲。
誰這麼發狂癆的？門叫你擂破了呢！
儘管是那般怨尤著，那尖尖、軟軟、懶懶、甜甜的嫩嗓門兒裏擠出的那種嗲腔，卻把剛剛還在發狠的辣子連長燒化了！他聳聳肩膀，用曖昧的聲音說：還有誰會這麼猴急法兒？你甭再磨蹭好不好？ !
你這隻乾辣椒，裏邊罵說：我當是索債的呢！應全不敢應聲。你再不來替我還債，我連人全要進當鋪去了。
我服了你！辣子連長說：你是裏裏外外榨我的骨髓。前天的包洋剛交給你，又光了！
我做了衣裳，還不是跟你撐檯面？聲音越來越近隔著門說。
咱們不談那些了，你開開門，辣子連長說：我引了個新朋友來談心，不好讓人家在巷裏盡喝風，天又陰又黯，快落雨了！
裏面響著拔門閂的聲音，門開了，一個白糊糊的女人的影子站在濛黑裏，門外的天光微弱得映不清她的眼眉，但從她那朦朧的身影上，她帶給人的印象是一朵白糊糊的開得萎頓了的殘花。
經過一段曲折的黑暗的室內通道，兩人才走進亮著煤油光盞的洋麵口袋的房裏。房子的頂篷很低，柴席上糊了些新得土氣的水紅紙，紙上貼著許多俗不可耐的紙花，五彩大美人兒，吉祥如意什麼的，那間長方形的屋子原不算小，但全叫一些新而粗劣，看上去又極不調和的家具塞滿了，黃橙橙的櫃子，嵌長鏡的立櫥，紅木榻板床，紅綢被面，綠緞枕頭，俚俗而新鮮的淫窟就是這種樣子，大狗熊被央坐在床沿上，女的端上一盞洋糖茶來，盞心還放了一粒煮爛了的紅棗。
她跟我相好不久。辣子連長說：洋糖茶裏加紅棗，是她的主意，仿著新媳婦兒的習俗，在朋友面前意思意思，讓做朋友的分點兒咱們的甜味！嘿嘿嘿，可真他媽的又土又新鮮！
唷，人家是一片誠心嘛，有什麼不好？dead!洋麵口袋像被誰踩了一腳咬了一口似的，就勢滾到辣子連長的懷裏來，嬌嗔的白他一眼，翹著兩片肥厚的嘴唇說：你當著人，嘲說我好幾回了！總嫌我土，你又洋在哪兒？dead!
甭擰我，洋麵口袋，你這浪貨！辣子連長猛可的叫將起來。同時響起的，卻是女人肉感的、淫靡的浪笑，兩人就那麼嘻嘻哈哈像揉麵似的揉成一團。
大狗熊也沒想著會遇著這樣的場景，當辣子連長跟洋麵袋兒兩人打情罵俏的時刻，他覺得今晚又空虛又飄浮，鹽市上的人伏在潮濕陰黯的堡裏和壕裏，等待著即將來臨的搏殺，北地的流民蜷縮在風呼呼的曠野中度夜，自己一心念著大湖澤的民軍，身子卻被扔擲在這座淫窟裏，有時候，人生就會碰上這類莫名其妙的情境那也祗有既來之，則安之罷！
為何要叫洋麵口袋呢？他說：這名字聽起來很不雅緻。
你瞧瞧她這對奶！辣子連長把洋麵口袋斜抱在膝上，虛虛撩一撩她那鼓凸凸的胸脯說：這不是兩隻貨真價實，如假包換的洋麵口袋？她能把它撩在肩膀上扛著走路，就憑這個出名，何必改呢？
咱們談正經罷。大狗熊說：她在這兒不妨事麼？
你放心，她不會賣我。他擰著女人說：我的心肝，除非你願意做寡婦？
實不瞞你說，我打算過河！大狗熊立即掏出硬話來了，語音雖沒有恫嚇的味道，但話頭兒卻自然有著恫嚇的意味：民軍那邊，你不必為我擔心，我跟他們的司令彭爺很熟我在北洋軍暗地賣軍火給民軍時幾宗大盤買賣裏做過搭橋鋪路的人，如今咱們是談條件做買賣，你可以討價，但我會還價的。
我呢，倒沒存這個心！辣子連長說：我祗是存心交結你這個朋友，咱們在幫的人，講求的就是個義字，為朋友，兩脅插刀，也是該當的。
話呢，頂好說得平實些兒，老兄。大狗熊淡淡的笑笑說：這是在你們不景氣的時辰，如果在兩年前，你也許就把這番漂亮話摺摺收起，扳臉逮人了！
對方的臉紅了一紅，歇一會才接話說：不錯，我要說，人不自私，天誅地滅，我交結你，指望日後你能拉我一把，這倒是真的。咱們這兒，有好些人，也都紛紛為日後的退路作打算，我為什麼不？
你既這麼真心直言，咱們這個朋友，看樣子，算是交成了！大狗熊拍著膝蓋說：我目前是要覓渡過河，在朝東沿路上，所有的船都叫你們使鐵索鍊在北岸，派崗位封掉了！沿河都有兵崗。
西邊也是一樣！那是旅長一再吩咐了的。
那，你能替我想個什麼法子呢？
這個你先別忙，辣子連長說：我也得先把我的意思表白表白。你適才說的不錯，若在兩年前，我遇上你，雖不一定查辦你，至少也不會像今天這樣客氣。那時我真還想找個機會，在北洋軍裏青雲直上的幹一番，帥爺是不想了，至少也得弄個將軍。如今北洋軍走他媽的大霉運！大帥都他媽的夾著臀逃之夭夭了，咱們還幹個屌毛？ !咱們也聚在一道兒商議過，想跟民軍做幾檔子軍火交易，藉著交易的機會，暗裏拉拉交情，不過民軍硬得很，最近聽說得著長江南的北伐軍的槍枝槍火接濟，不肯差人過來暗收散火，咱們一面熱沒有用，根本搭不上線；所以大夥兒都擔心著，萬一這邊挺不住，北地的咽喉又叫鹽市扼住，萬一江防軍潰掉，咱們性命難保。如今，我肯跟我那一把子兄弟疏通妥當，盡力設法放你過河，你可得在民軍首領那邊，替咱們說項說項，保咱們性命安全，要不然，我可不必為你擔那麼大的風險，無論如何，江防軍如今還在挺著，小鬍子還是個生殺予奪的人呢！
辣子連長滔滔的說完這番話，大狗熊邊聽邊點頭，時時露出思索的樣子。
我也說幾句直話你聽聽。他說：我也是草莽出身，但我對你們這一把子沒骨氣吃北洋飯的傢伙夠討厭的！我這些年走江湖闖道兒，死全死過好幾遭，我沒幹北洋軍，也沒比旁人少一塊肉，我不欺民，不搶劫，一樣活著過來了！照你們平素胡作非為的惡行來說，死了也是活該，那應算是天報應。你手摸胸口想想，你們這些熬到官兒的，誰沒冤殺過人？取過不義的錢財？我說過，北伐軍饒得你們，老百姓不一定饒得你們。
這這倒是事實！辣子連長說。緊緊的鎖著眉毛，可見心裏夠沉重的。
能認罪呢，也許還有機會。大狗熊說：我祗能這麼講：我若過了河，當然會在民軍面前盡力替你們說項。不過不過你們得約束手下人，少拉伕抓勇，少欺民壓眾，民軍來後，自會開脫你們繳槍回籍要是當地有人具狀申告，罪證確實，那恐怕恐怕就要另當別論了。
那當然，那當然。辣子連長說：西邊有個楊宇成楊連長守渡口，明早我就著人過去鋪路
兩人談著，不知不覺間，外面的天就黑下來，也落起不大不小的東風雨來了。他們的話頭兒泛泛的，從孫傳芳棄眾潛逃，談到塌鼻子招收散勇；從鹽市的護鹽保壩，談到北地民間紛紛拉槍的情形；從關八爺談到北伐軍。平素不甚會說話的大狗熊，一談到這些，不知怎的就會變得活絡起來，他趁機誇張了鹽市的實力，形容北地民槍勢力的浩大，把民間傳說中的關八爺比做一條飛龍，更把從各處聽來的、有關北伐軍勇猛善戰，屢現奇蹟的傳聞，一股腦兒講給辣子連長聽，同時力勸他們這幫官兒們，少與民軍為敵。
正在講得起勁的時刻，一陣猛烈的擂門聲，把他們的話頭兒打斷了。
大狗熊反應很夠機敏，一聽擂門聲，立即翻身閃到床頭，迅速摘出匣槍，拉起機頭，同時盡量貼著窗口，準備在外間有變故時，奪窗跳進黑裏去，免得被人窩住，無法施展。那個洋麵口袋的膽子太小，轉眼的功夫就從大狗熊的腳邊爬進床肚底下去了。
是誰在吆吆喝喝的擂門呢？
有人替咱們壞了事了！辣子連長說。
熄燈！Big Bear said.
那個過去捏熄了燈。
先不必開槍，免得把事情鬧大。辣子連長在黑裏說：準是出賭場之後，有人踩著你，那是小鬍子旅長差出來巡防的官兒。你先跳窗子走罷，記著去找楊宇成，他們在這兒搜查不著人，就無法硬朝我頭上套上什麼罪名，你不走，咱倆全沒好處。
And you?大狗熊抄起他的雙馬子，撩在肩上。
一切由我頂著。
大狗熊一拉窗子跳進黑裏去，就聽見辣子連長揚聲說：誰？誰那麼喳喳呼呼窮擂門？搞的什麼名堂？ !但他沒有心腸再停住身聽動靜，他蹲下身閉了閉眼，留神朝四周掃視一番。
天實在黑得很，斜斜的雨絲從黑裏來，打在他的眼皮上，涼剌剌的。他是孤伶伶的一隻受驚的昏鳥，一時有些暈頭轉向，連東西南北全分不清楚；不過，他終究是個飽有經驗的人，他深知，人一旦遇上這種猝然發生的變故時，第一要緊的就是大膽細心，沉著冷靜，千萬不能心慌意亂，手足無措，愈是惶急，愈不容易度得難關，天雖很黑，他也不能盲目亂奔，必得先蹲身閉眼，把四周的情景看清了再拿主意。
人眼總是那樣！初經黑暗時，瞳孔不習慣，得要經過一忽兒才能見物；等他再睜開眼時，雖不能清楚的看見什麼，但能藉著黑夜裏自然的一絲微光，看見四周天界上的屋脊的墨線，他知道自己是跳落在一家方形的後院子裏，他腳下踏著的，是被雨絲打濕的方磚。
他一面看著，兩耳同時也在聽著。
他聽見一片嘈雜的人聲湧聚在那座深巷裏，連巷頭的後街口也像被他們把住了。嘈雜中迸起辣子連長裝出來的、火暴暴的嗓子。
大夥兒全是自己弟兄，我犯了什麼罪，用得你們來找麻煩？
聽聲音祗隔著那邊的一座後屋。
辣子，你甭他娘的反穿皮襖裝羊（佯）了！一個冷冷的聲音說：這是團部差遣來的，咱們私底下是兄弟夥兒，無話不好說，可是這是公事。
誰他娘的說你不是公事來？辣子連長說：你們盡可公事公辦，你想怎麼樣？你說罷！你先把話說清楚，我難道赤手空拳還能把你抗著？
那邊的嘈雜聲又一陣湧過來了，而且還有人拎著馬燈，大狗熊看見一絲燈光亮在屋脊的脊線上，晃眼又在旋移中隱沒了。
That's good!那個冷冷的聲音從嘈雜裏揚起來問說：你今天在賭場上，有沒有碰著個來歷不明，穿便裝，背雙馬子的傢伙？
不錯，我碰見過。
你有沒有在賭局散後拍著他的肩膀，拉他進酒館套交情？
good.我說老哥，你這是怎麼了？辣子連長尖酸的反嘲說：團部啥事都管，也未免管得太離譜兒了！難道我放個臭屁，也得先喊報告，讓團部捧了去聞一聞？這真是笑話了！
你甭在這兒嘴硬，這不是耍油嘴兒的時刻。
我耍什麼油嘴？我祗是要你把話說清楚！我好歹還是個連長，不是個逃犯。
是這樣的，那個聲音略略軟了些兒：有人去旅長那邊報密，說鹽市最近有奸細放出來，那傢伙在這一線防軍駐地上鬼混好幾天了，旅長出條兒著咱們抓他，你卻跟他套交情，兩人鬼鬼祟祟的談心不算，又拉他來這兒宿娼。
我要不看朋友面子，我就先給你一巴掌！辣子連長的聲音透著火說：你明知洋麵口袋跟我是露水夫妻，你也喝過她雙手捧著的洋糖棗子茶，老子包了她，她就不算是娼，你說這話是侮辱我！她如今是我的人，也就是你小嫂子，你好拿她開心？ !
不不不，這全是團部接到的報告，報告上是這麼說的，全全不是兄弟我的意思。那個說：報告說：連你也有私通奸細的嫌疑，團長因為上頭還有旅長壓著，不能不下令著即搜查這兒，並且交代我，若是查獲那個傢伙時，連你也一併扣押。
要是查不著呢？
查不著，你也得委屈點兒，跟兄弟到團部去走一趟，上頭怎樣查問這宗事兒，你怎麼回話，就不是我的事兒了！
我說，那傢伙不在這兒，要查你們儘管查，不過請甭這麼聲勢洶洶的，把你那細皮白肉的小嫂子給嚇著了！Please stop!
虧得老奸巨滑的辣子連長有這麼薄而滑的油嘴皮兒，開了門之後，能編排出這麼一大套推太極拳似的話頭兒來，儘量拖延時間，使翻窗逃遁的大狗熊有脫身的機會。
在他們一問一答的空檔兒裏，藉著旋移的燈火的微光，大狗熊業已把自己存身附近的情境看得清楚，也拿定了脫身的主意。
這是一座四合頭的大院子，四邊有屋，前屋共有好幾進院落，和堆脊上的前街相連，後屋就臨著後街，西邊隔著洋麵口袋的娼屋，該是那條擠著拿人兵勇的巷子，祗有東邊是一條唯一的活路。
他順著牆角迅疾的奔投到東面來。
東面是不算矮的磚牆瓦頂的側屋，無法硬翻上去，但，巧的是東南屋角有條窄僅容人的小弄，弄裏放著好幾隻冬天醃東西用的小口罈子，大狗熊摸著那些罈子時，心裏一寬。
嘿，這可派上用場了！
因為弄頭有丈許高的一截牆擋著，有了這些罈子踏腳，不需費力就能翻過牆去，或是借著牆頭登上瓦面，天這麼黑法兒，又落著不大不小的雨，祗要不當時被他們在娼屋裏窩住，他們再是明火執杖，想在黑裏抓人可就沒有那麼容易了。
他不能再有一點遲疑，因為那邊的嘈喝聲，業已湧進背後的那座娼屋，一盞搖晃的馬燈光，也已透過剛剛自己爬出的那隻窗口，在方磚大院子裏閃移著了，大狗熊閃進窄弄一回頭，就見那座娼屋裏窗光黃亮亮的，油紙上顯露出雜亂的人影。
查罷，你們儘管查罷，橫直就是這麼屁大的一間屋子。
去兩個人去堵後門。
嘿嘿，辣子連長的聲音透著嘰諷：這兒根本沒有後門。
翻箱倒櫃的聲音乒裏乓啷的響著。
你們好不好把手腳放輕些兒？ !辣子連長又在用窮喳呼來打岔了：不是你們花錢買來的家具，你們當然不心疼。
這隻立櫥是上了鎖的。
你他媽的存心搗亂是怎麼的？ !辣子連長又罵開了：你他媽烏龜吃大麥瞎糟蹋糧食，幾年的兵你算白幹了！
甭罵人，連長。That said.
這這是公事。另一個在一邊幫腔說：您務必帶諒點兒
我偏要罵，罵你兩個一對傻鳥！你們是在查人嗎？還是在查私槍？搜私土？ !這立櫥除去抽斗，總共還沒二尺高，連武大郎的半邊屁股也塞不下，不信我來開鎖，你們要鑽不進去，就是存心找麻煩！
算了，你歇歇氣，立櫥不查。領頭的那個官兒說：小院裏有沒有？
No.
drink!這床肚底下有人！I saw it.一個鬼搦脖子似的叫起來。
right!這兒有條腿在動。另一個趕急附和。
替我叉出來！領頭的那個官兒聽床肚底下有了人，聲音也就添了精神。
那兩人跪倒身，一人摸著一條腿，倒著朝外一叉，一個女人尖細的惶叫壓住了一切的聲音，原來那兩個兵勇，粗針大麻線這麼一叉，卻把匿在床肚底下的洋麵口袋倒叉出來了，她的襖子叫釘子咬住，吃不消這麼猛一撕扯，上身的衣服就等於脫光了；祗有兩隻袖子還釘在腕子上，在馬燈光下面，儘管她雙手交合在胸前，也管束不住她那一對沒使胸衣兜住的大奶了！
嘈雜沉靜下來。
祗聽見辣子連長一個人的聲音：好！這筆賬該記在你頭上，你們假藉名目，搜人就像這等搜法的。再搜呀，怎麼不搜了？you!
洋麵口袋從地上爬起來，胡亂的抓住個枕頭布圍著胸脯，連哭帶叫的赤著腳逃出去了。
這時刻，大狗熊業已把罈子拖兩個放在牆腳，藉它搭腳翻上了牆頭，正想蹲身朝那面跳，誰知那邊院子裏有兩條狗，猛竄出來，汪汪的狂吠不休。
狗吠聲這麼一起，大狗熊就覺得事情不妙了，狗這玩意兒耳目最靈，黑夜裏即使能逃得過兵勇，卻不容易擺脫牠們的糾纏，狗這麼一叫開來，無異告訴那些拿人的人們：人在這兒！人在這兒！
果然，原已失望的那個領頭搜捕大狗熊的官兒一聽見狗叫，心裏就有了數了！他在床榻邊一抬頭，兩眼正對著朝東的那扇窗戶，窗子在床榻背後，兩扇糊著油光紙的窗扇兒大開著，其中有一塊油紙破裂了，而且紙面上還留有一些泥汙的痕跡。
他不聲不響的繞著床頭走過去，東風雨的雨絲斜飄在他的臉上，他伸手一摸床裏的被頭，業已叫雨絲掃濕了一大片。
你甭嚷了！他冷笑著對辣子連長說：你的朋友從這兒翻窗子走掉了！
那，那，也許是洋麵口袋打開的，辣子連長支吾說：窗子高些，那邊又黑，她不敢跳，所以才鑽進床肚底下去，我猜是這樣的。
你聽那狗在說話沒有？那個冷冷的丟下話來說：等我捉著人，回頭再說，來人把他軟押著！嘿，你狡賴也狡賴不了的了！
好罷，辣子連長硬著頭皮說：你要是捉不著人，也有你瞧的！
聽著狗
