Chapter 132 Firecrackers
She has to keep an eye on the developments here; she can't let this matter go wrong again.
At the same time, she was standing here just in case. If someone was careless and came over here, she would have to lead that person away. She would not allow anyone to break in over there.
On the other side of the bamboo forest is Boss Wu’s home, where a large group of Wu family members have gathered.
Originally, a child who died prematurely didn't need so many people to send him off, but today they were ostensibly looking for a Feng Shui master to perform a ritual and to pay respects to their ancestors at the end of the year, but in reality they were looking for a magician to exorcise evil spirits and eradicate the evil...
So everyone who could come came.
Zhang Yaping had a good plan. After Meng Huzi destroyed Su Tong, she would lead the people from the Wu family over there. They were already looking for Su Tong everywhere. Zhang Yaping would let them all see Su Tong's miserable appearance, and then take her to the ancestral tomb!
It is not clear whether it will be sprinkled with chicken blood or beaten with a rattan whip, but it will not be easy anyway.
She asked Wu Dongling to get two black scarves for Meng Huzi and Luo Ergou, which were used by the Wu family when offering sacrifices to their ancestors. Once they wrapped themselves in the scarves, they would be able to blend in with these people. Once they reached the Wu family's ancestral tomb in the back mountain, they would be able to slip away without anyone noticing.
Now, I just hope that Wu Dongling can get the money and dry food back smoothly. Meng Huzi wants to take the money and run away, and he won't do it without the money.
Even if Su Tong really couldn't come up with the money, she had made plans. She still had nearly two hundred yuan in her hand, and she could take it out if it really didn't work. As long as he did the job, it would be fine.
Zhang Yaping was thinking over and over again, when she raised her eyes she saw a group of people hurriedly walking towards her.
The group was led by none other than Ma Daming and Xiao Yang, who was stationed in the village from the town police station. Next to them was a round-faced young man who was unfamiliar with the group and looked like he was heading for Wu Dashan's home.
Did they discover something?
Zhang Yaping was feeling nervous. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go forward and ask. She straightened her clothes, then walked out of the bamboo forest and headed in the direction where Ma Daming and the others were coming from.
"Captain Ma, what are you busy with? Why are there so many people here?" She asked in a voice as normal as possible.
Ma Daming looked up and saw Zhang Yaping was stunned for a moment, and asked:
"Oh! It's Zhang Zhiqing! There's something going on at Wu Dashan's house today, let's go take a look."
"Oh! There are quite a lot of people at Wu Dashan's house today. Are you... so many people going to Wu's house?"
"We're going to look for someone!"
Ma Daming obviously didn't want to waste time. Just as he was about to move forward, he turned back and asked:
"Zhang Zhiqing, have you seen Tongya today?"
"Are you talking about Su Tong? I didn't see him! I just came over there,"
She pointed behind the bamboo forest and said, "I didn't see anyone else."
“Bang—bang—bang—”
Before Zhang Yaping withdrew her hand, she heard several loud muffled noises coming from the direction she was pointing.
It was like... an explosion, echoing far away in the empty winter sky.
The round-faced young man standing next to Xiao Yang was stunned for only a moment, then he took the lead and ran in that direction. Xiao Yang hurriedly followed behind, shouting as he chased:
"Comrade Zhou, the situation is unclear, please be careful."
Not far around the bamboo forest, I saw an old man with a bloody cloth wrapped around his head staggering out, shouting as he ran:
"Someone come! Help!"
——————
Five minutes ago, Su Tong pulled out the last needle in Lao Lin's leg to allow blood to flow more smoothly, but this was just a pretense. She just wanted to keep Lao Lin as far away from Meng Huzi as possible.
She once again secretly observed Luo Ergou's position and the distance between Lao Lin and the brazier.
Meng Huzi watched her movements intently for a moment, then said coldly:
"Alright! The two old guys are not going to die, so don't try to do anything. The anesthetic should be taking effect. Old man, come back and warm yourself by the fire. Where are you going with your limping leg?"
Su Tong's heart felt like it was burning, and his limbs began to feel numb.
Most of the anesthetic was poured into the cuffs of her cotton-padded jacket, but she actually drank half of it, otherwise she would not have been able to hide it.
She took a deep breath. She couldn't bet on the effectiveness of this half bowl of anesthetic. She didn't want to wait any longer. She needed to seize the opportunity as soon as possible while she was still awake.
Taking the opportunity of helping Lao Lin up, she reached into her trouser pocket, where there were three firecrackers that the grocery store owner had stuffed into her pocket today.
From the moment she was forced to drink the medicine, she started to think about the three firecrackers.
The firecrackers these days are quite big, so they should be quite loud when they are set off!
Poor Wu Tong had no memory of ever setting off firecrackers by himself. Even if one was not loud enough, if three were set off together, someone should be able to hear it, even if it attracted people from the Wu family in front.
But what she was worried about was that Luo Ergou and Meng Huzi both had weapons in their hands. Firecrackers made a loud noise but did not cause much harm to people. Even if Meng Huzi was sitting in front of the brazier, at most he would be covered in sparks.
So once the firecrackers went off, there was no need to wait for anyone to come over. They could kill the two powerless old men with a few strokes of their swords, and then kill her who could not move her hands and feet.
So she never dared to act rashly and was always waiting for an opportunity.
She had just secretly told Lao Qi that at least Lao Qi was still agile, so it would be best if he could find a chance to run away. She didn't expect him to run far, but as long as he could get out, she would have one less worry.
Then it was Lao Lin. Now Lao Lin was one meter away from the brazier and two meters away from Meng Huzi...
Su Tong helped Lao Lin stand up and said to Meng Huzi:
"Brother, I feel cold all over. Can you let me stay by the brazier for a while? Lao Lin seems to be afraid of you. Can you let him stay with Lao Qi?"
After saying that, without waiting for Meng Huzi to express his opinion, he pushed Lao Lin towards Lao Qi, and took a step forward to stand in front of him.
Lao Lin was used to Su Tong's words, so he didn't dare to make trouble. He took advantage of her strength and jumped to the corner.
Meng Huzi was a very alert person. Seeing Su Tong's unusual behavior, he threw away the half-eaten cake in his hand and grabbed the dagger.
Su Tong did not hesitate any longer, she reached out and took out a firecracker, and threw it straight into the brazier. At the same time, she pulled out the dagger on her calf with her other hand, turned around and threw it at Luo Ergou. This was her only chance to hurt Luo Ergou, so she used all her strength.
Luo Ergou let out a scream. The dagger almost pierced his thigh and he fell to the ground howling.
Meng Huzi didn't know what she threw into the brazier, and he had a bad feeling, so he reached out to fish it out...
Unexpectedly, he burned his hand. Just as he pulled his hand back, he heard a "bang". The firecracker exploded and the charcoal in the brazier flew everywhere.
Because the space is enclosed, the sound is duller and lower, and the eardrums are buzzing.
Su Tong yelled: "Lao Qi! Run——"
At the same time, he threw two more firecrackers into the brazier, then grabbed Lao Lin and pushed him into the corner.
