Save the Bachelor of Heaven

That night, Xiang Nan waited until the fourth watch before getting up secretly. After getting dressed quietly, he got off the earthen bed and went out of the house.

Tiptoeing to Master Guan's house, he pricked up his ears and eavesdropped. He only heard bursts of snoring in the house, and knew that the old man was already fast asleep.

He immediately came to the door, used a thin stick to lift the door latch, and gently pushed the door open a small crack. Then a raccoon man got into the house and closed the door again.

With a finger in the air, he stunned Master Guan, then came to his bed, leaned down, and gently pulled out a small wooden box under his pillow.

I saw that the wooden box was not big, only about six inches long, three inches wide and two inches high. There was a small copper lock hanging on it. Xiang Nan took out another thin wire and inserted it into the copper lock. With a slight twist, the copper lock made a soft click and was opened.

Xiang Nan opened the box and saw some money and dozens of life and death documents inside.

Xiang Nan didn't touch a penny, but took out the life and death contract between himself and Xiaodouzi.

With these two engagements still in place, he and Xiaodouzi fled to the horizon, and they were still members of the troupe. Even if he is not afraid of being found by Master Guan and others, he will always be a little shorter in terms of status, so he must take away Wen Yue of Life and Death.

After finding out the contract between life and death, Xiang Nan closed the box, locked it with the copper lock, and stuffed it back under Master Guan's pillow. Then he unblocked his acupuncture points, quietly walked out of the door, and closed the door bolt. Then he returned to the dormitory.

…

Back in the dormitory, the junior fellow students were still sleeping soundly.

Xiang Nan stepped forward and gently woke up Xiaodouzi.

When Xiaodouzi opened his eyes and saw Xiang Nan, he was stunned for a moment. Then he woke up and knew that his senior brother was taking him away.

"Shh, don't make any noise and get dressed quickly." Xiang Nan leaned into his ear and whispered.

Xiaodouzi quickly put on her clothes quietly and followed Xiang Nan out of the dormitory.

"Senior brother, how can we go? The front and back doors are locked." Xiaodouzi looked at the four high walls and asked doubtfully.

The troupe lives in a courtyard with two entrances, with doors at the front and back, but they are always locked, lest the children run out.

After all, they are all seven or eight-year-old children. Anyone who likes to practice kungfu every day and be beaten and scolded will be willing to run out as long as there is a chance. Little Leprechaun is not the only one.

As for climbing the wall, it's even harder. They are actors, not snitches. The courtyard wall, which is more than two meters high, cannot be climbed by adults without a ladder, let alone children like them.

Therefore, even if these children want to run away, no one dares to run away from here. They are all like little leprous, taking advantage of the cold to escape when they go out to lay on the ground.

That's why Xiaodouzi is worried.

Xiang Nan smiled, stretched out his hand to lift Xiaodouzi's arm, and then jumped up. The two of them jumped into the air, easily crossed the two-meter-high wall, and landed steadily on the ground.

When Xiaodouzi saw this scene with his own eyes, his eyes were wide open in shock. He asked in disbelief, "Brother, am I not dreaming?"

Xiang Nan reached out and pinched his face, then asked with a smile, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Xiaodouzi said immediately, and then he came to his senses, "Is it true, did we really run out?"

Xiang Nan nodded, "Shh, don't shout, let's leave quickly."

"Hey." Xiaodouzi said immediately.

The two of them ran out of the alley quickly.

…

"Brother, where are we going?" Xiaodouzi asked as he ran out of the alley and onto the street.

Both of them are children without a father and a mother. The world is so big, apart from the Xi Luck Cheng Opera Troupe, where else can they find a place? Now that I have escaped, where can I go?

"Don't worry, trust me, senior brother, he won't let you endure hardship anymore." Xiang Nan said, and then led him all the way east.

The layout of the capital is rich in the east, noble in the west, poor in the north and poor in the south.

It turns out that during the Qing Dynasty, seven of the thirteen major warehouses in the capital were located in the East City. Due to the large concentration of warehouses, Dongcheng has also become the financial center of the capital. At that time, Beijing's famous "Four Heng" banks, Hengxing, Henghe, Hengli and Hengyuan, were all located in Dongcheng, so Dongcheng was rich.

Xigui is because most of the princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty built their mansions in the west of the city. According to statistics, there were 132 mansions with titles of viscount and above in the Qing Dynasty, including more than 70 in Xicheng.

The reason why the North is poor is that the people living there are ordinary people. Compared with the wealthy businessmen in the East City and the royal palaces in the West City, they naturally appear poor.

As for Nanjian, it is because there is an overpass in the south. Artists from all walks of life gather here, playing, playing, changing, practicing, speaking, teasing and singing. Because they are all low-class businesses, they are called "Southern low-class people".

Xiang Nan walked eastward with Xiaodouzi because he wanted to enjoy the autumn breeze in the embassy district.

It's freezing cold now, and the two brothers have no clothes on their bodies and no food in their bellies. In this cold winter night with howling wind and ice and snow, he can still stand it if he has the strength, but Xiaodouzi can't stand it for long before he has to be tortured alive. The streets are frozen to death.

So the two of them had to eat and clothe themselves. To solve the current problem of eating and dressing, the quickest way is undoubtedly to steal.

Xiang Nan couldn't bear to steal from the common people. The common people work so hard, waking up at midnight and sleeping in the middle of the night to earn a little money. If he steals it, it will be called a lack of great virtue.

By stealing the embassy or consulate, Xiang Nan would have no psychological burden. After all, these bastards are all invaders, and they often act arrogantly in front of the Chinese people. They deserve to steal it.

The two walked for half an hour, from Yangwei Hutong to Dongjiaomin Lane.

"Xiaodouzi, you stay in this corner. I'll be back soon, senior brother." Xiang Nan said as he took him to a corner leeward.

"Senior brother, you won't want me, will you?" Xiaodouzi looked at Xiang Nan and asked with worry on his face.

In the beginning, his mother thought he was a burden and didn't want him. He was worried that Xiang Nan would also leave forever.

"How could it be? Senior brother will not abandon you, senior brother, I swear to you." Xiang Nan raised his hand and said, "If I don't care about Xiaodouzi, I will be beaten..."

"No, senior brother, I believe you." Xiaodouzi quickly pulled down his hand.

Xiang Nan nodded, then jumped into the American Embassy.

Although the embassy was guarded by soldiers and was heavily guarded, in Xiang Nan's view, it was just a local chicken and a dog, trying to sell their heads by inserting stickers.

This time he only wanted to steal, not kill. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to massacre the entire embassy.

After Xiang Nan entered the embassy, ​​he first used his clairvoyance eyes to search the entire embassy and knew the location of all the rooms. Then he tiptoed up to the second floor and entered the ambassador's office.

Then he quietly removed a painting on the wall, revealing a secret safe hidden behind it.

Xiang Nan then put his ear to the safe and gently turned the combination lock. He heard click, click, click sounds from inside. After he turned it several times, he heard a click sound and the safe had been opened by him.

In addition to some secret documents, the safe also contained some U.S. dollars, jewelry, gold bars, oceans, etc. Xiang Nan was not polite when he saw this and took all the money away.
