Nightmare Attack
Chapter 1188 Lotus
His eyes paused on the coachman's shoes for a moment, and Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.
There were several broken tables at the entrance of the nearby alley, and a large iron kettle was placed on the ground. It was dark and dark, with a fire burning underneath and white water vapor spurting out from the mouth of the kettle.
Several people were sitting sparsely around the table, wearing tattered clothes and swinging cattail leaf fans in their hands. One of them was reading a newspaper with his head down. There was a big bowl with foul language on the table. From time to time, he picked it up and took a sip. It looked like it was a casual tea break. stall.
At the same time, everyone noticed that there was a sign hanging on the wall next to the iron gate with the words Su Zhai on it.
It seems that the owner of this house is named Su.
The man who looked like a butler walked to the iron door, clenched his fists, and knocked on the door.
Jiang Cheng found that the movements of his hands were strange. First he tapped twice slowly, then paused, and then tapped twice quickly again, just like a secret agent trying to read a code before a connection.
Almost immediately, the iron door opened a crack, revealing a small half of the face behind it.
A man with a fleshy face stared at them warily. He was not tall, but very strong. The muscles on both sides of his neck were bulging. He was wearing coarse clothes. He should be a servant guarding the hospital.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." The man who looked like a butler accompanied him with a smile, "These people are the guests invited by the master. They are here to treat the master. I personally picked them up from the patrol room. There is no problem.
Although the housekeeper said so, the man still did not relax his vigilance. His sharp eyes like an eagle swept over everyone, and he opened the door after about ten seconds.
The housekeeper led a group of people into the courtyard quickly, and Lin Qianqian was the last one. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard a "bang" behind her, and the man who opened the door closed the door hard, which startled her.
"Everyone, my husband is in poor health and prefers peace and quiet. I hope you can abide by the rules here." Perhaps because he knew they couldn't run away, the butler's attitude towards them was not as respectful as it was at first. , said with a thin smile and a butt smile.
"Okay." Everyone cooperated.
The house doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you get inside, you realize it's something special. The area is much larger than expected, and there's even a pond with a unique shape.
However, the pond was bare at the moment, and there was another person with his back to them, submerged in the waist-deep water, pulling out the few lotus plants left in it.
Lotus flowers are in full bloom this season, complementing the rockery and clear water, creating a beautiful scene. However, the people here ruthlessly uprooted the lotus flowers, leaving the fat man confused.
There are still many lotus flowers that have been plucked out by the pond. Someone on the shore is barefoot, picking up the lotus flowers by the handful, and throwing them into a wheelbarrow without mercy.
Yao Shunyu trotted over and talked to the people on the shore. After the housekeeper noticed it, he hurriedly followed him and pulled him back with a very bad attitude, "What do you want to do? I told you, you are not allowed to wander around here!"
Yao Shunyu covered his stomach with a painful expression on his face, "I don't want to either, but I have to find a convenient place. I have a bad stomach."
The housekeeper couldn't do anything to him, so he had to ask him to endure it for a while. They were about to arrive.
About a minute later, the group of people was taken to a small building with three floors. It looked antique from the outside, and there were two shirtless men standing outside the door.
The housekeeper stepped forward and whispered something with a smile on his face. The two men glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others one by one, and then opened the door and let them in.
"I'll go in and report. Just wait here and don't wander around." After leaving a few words, the housekeeper turned around and walked inside.
The place where they are now is similar to a living room, and everyone is not outside, and they all find a place to sit down. At this time, Yao Shunyu still has the same painful expression as before. He was the first to find a sofa and sit down, with his legs crossed carelessly.
"Same as outside?" Zhang Shiwei, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was the first to break the silence and looked at Yao Shunyu, obviously talking to him.
Yao Shunyu glanced outside the door and didn't notice anyone was watching. He lowered his legs, his arrogance became much more restrained, and his voice lowered, "Well, just like outside, the servants in this house are all pretending to be Japanese."
"Just now I ran over to talk to the two people fishing for lotus flowers and asked them where the toilet was, but they just looked at me and didn't answer. Their eyes were full of vigilance."
"We met a total of three men when we came in, and none of them spoke. And please pay attention to the butler's attitude. Is it necessary for him to be so humble when facing the servants?"
Listening to Yao, Shun and Yu's words, the fat man's head got bigger. Along the way, he also noticed that something was wrong, but what happened to the Oriental people?
"The rickshaw pullers outside and the people sitting at the tea stalls drinking tea are all Japanese in disguise. This house is completely under surveillance." Jiang Cheng said.
Li Shanru leaned back on the chair, folded his hands on his chest, and sneered, "But these Japanese idiots don't know how to disguise at all. It's cooler at this time, which is a good time for rickshaws to work, but those two people actually stopped to sleep." Dajue, and their skin is very good. How can it be possible for people who have been driving cars outside and living in the wind and sun all year round to earn a living? "
"And those guys sitting at the tea stall, are they actually reading newspapers?" Li Shanru showed a completely incomprehensible expression, "Looking at their clothes, they don't even have food for their next meal, and they still want to buy newspapers. See? Besides...in this world, there are probably not many people who work as coolies who are literate."
"It's mainly their feet." A very soft voice sounded. Lin Qianqian raised her hand and pulled back the broken hair on her temples. "Their toes are valgus, and there is a split between the index finger and the toe. This is because they wear clogs all year round. It’s caused by this, but Chinese people don’t have such a habit, only Japanese people do.”
"Also, it's strange that they uproot lotus flowers. Chinese people don't have this habit, but Asians do, because in their culture, lotus flowers are taboo and considered to be mourning flowers."
"You are not allowed to give lotus flowers when visiting patients, and it is taboo to send greeting cards with lotus patterns. In Japan, lotus flowers are only used for funerals." Lin Qianqian's voice was very soft, but everything was on point.
He Ping, who had worked as a personal bodyguard, leaned forward with a serious expression, "One more thing, these Japanese people are not ordinary people. From their physical fitness, eyes, and other details revealed, they should be soldiers."
Li Bai sat upright, and the white coat on her body gave her a very special temperament, "So... our mission goal this time is to be under the strict surveillance of the Japanese soldiers."
"Maybe it's for protection, I don't know for sure." Yao Shunyu narrowed his eyes.
