Detective in the Red Chamber

Only then did Xue Pan feel relieved, and said triumphantly, "I trained them for more than half a month, and finally taught them a new skill. They will be indispensable when we hold a banquet later."

Both Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian asked what the "new skill" was, but he just kept showing off.

When they got outside the gate of the mansion, they saw a dozen servants sweating profusely under the scorching sun in order to spread the firecrackers.

When Xue Pan saw it, he scolded dissatisfiedly, "Damn it, it's fine on weekdays. I celebrate my birthday today, so how dare you dawdling here. You really think there is no family law in our house?"

As he said that, the bearded and staring man wanted to call for the 'Family Law' to be brought in, and all the domestic servants fell to their knees.

"This is a great day, you don't say let it go."

Sun Shaozong helplessly stretched out his hand to hold him down, and persuaded, "Although the firecrackers on Lao Feng's car are not tied into a knot, how can it be so easy to spread them out completely once they are hung up?"

Hearing that the second elder brother had spoken, Xue Pan suppressed his temper, and only stared at the copper bell-like eyes to supervise the work on the steps.

Seeing this, the servants below hurriedly got up again, desperately speeding up the progress.

But even so, it still took another half a quarter of an hour to fully unfurl the firecrackers along the south wall - from east to west, it can be more than forty feet long!

Baoyu and Liu Xianglian lit the cap on the top of the incense candle, held the torches and rushed to the two ends of the things, greeted each other with a loud voice, and lit the fuse together.

rumbling rumbling...

The 20-thousand sound of "Thunder on the Dry Land" is much more powerful than the Dadihong of the later generations. The rumbling movement is continuous, as if there is thunder rolling on the ground.

only……

The rising smoke and dust was also extremely vigorous, at first Sun Shaozong and others were still watching at the door, but gradually they couldn't stand up, so they all retreated into the courtyard.

Seeing the smoke billowing up, completely covering half of Zijin Street, even Feng Ziying, the instigator, couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly - fortunately, before setting off firecrackers these days, he had to notify the nearby watchman in advance, otherwise It must be misunderstood as a fire.

When the firecrackers were finally set off, everyone's ears were buzzing, and they were rubbing their ears and grinning as they went into the living room, when they suddenly saw two women running towards them, and they opened their mouths to yell from afar what.

The crowd really couldn't hear clearly, only when they got closer and listened carefully to identify them, they finally understood what they were shouting, "It's amazing, those two elephants in the backyard are rampaging like crazy, even the elephants They even broke an arm!"

"Now wives, grandma, and girls are all blocked in the house, I'm afraid they will break in!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Xue Pan stomped his feet anxiously and said, "Damn it, it's such a long distance, why is it still startled by firecrackers? Could it be that those two elephants have both clairvoyance and ears?!"

Feng Ziying was embarrassed, and was about to take responsibility, but the woman shook her head and said, "It's not that I was shocked by the firecrackers, it was the pug raised by my wife, who went up to him and barked a few times—who would have thought that such a big guy , I was frightened by the barking of the dog!"

Chapter 356

But they said that when they heard that two elephants were rampant in the back house, they rushed to the Dongkua courtyard where Aunt Xue was.

Seeing that it was not far away, I saw a pavilion on the side of the road crookedly toppled halfway, leaving only two pillars supporting some ruined walls.

The woman who led the way quickly explained, "The mahout tied the two elephants to the pillars of the gazebo. Who would have thought that the elephants would tear down the pillars after being frightened!"

This strength is really...

Everyone gasped, and all looked at Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong smiled wryly and spread his hands, "If the cows and horses startle, I can survive, but this elephant... I really don't have any confidence in my heart."

As soon as Feng Ziying heard this, she immediately asked Xue Pan what kind of weapons the mansion had, and said that if she really couldn't surrender, the brothers would go up side by side to let the blood out. I don't believe so many people can't kill two beasts!

Liu Xianglian immediately responded eagerly, and the rest of the people, whether true or false, also responded unevenly.

"We do need to prepare a few pieces of weapons, but don't rush to do it!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly reminded, "Right now the elephant is just startled, and if it sees blood, it will be even more insane - by then our brother will not die on the battlefield, but will be killed by a domesticated elephant. Isn't it extremely ridiculous?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuhan also hurriedly said, "That's the reason! If only a few things are broken, there is no need to rush to deal with them. The frightened mules and horses will stop by themselves when they run tired, and the elephant presumably does the same." of."

After discussing for a few words, they ordered the servants who had heard the news to fetch all the long-handled heavy weapons; while they continued to drive to Dongkua courtyard to see what kind of trouble the elephant had caused.

When I saw the vicinity of Dongkua courtyard, I saw several women and maids surrounded in front of the moon gate, all of them were pale.

Xue Pan greeted them from afar, and they were so frightened that they almost ran away in all directions. When they found out that the master had arrived, they came up to meet them in fear.

Xue Pan grabbed a woman and asked anxiously, "What's going on inside?! Did you hurt your mother and sister?!"

The old lady shook her head like a rattle drum, "Ma'am, the girl was fine just now, but this mahout may not survive."

As she spoke, she timidly cast her eyes on the flower garden not far away.

It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a big living person lying on the ground in the garden!

He is said to be a living person, but in fact, at most, he has half his life left—because his left arm, from the elbow joint to the shoulder blade, was as if trampled into mud, and a large piece of his right chest cavity was also dented, and he spit it out from his mouth. There is more blood than the air inhaled.

"He saw the two elephants running towards his wife, and he was afraid of causing disaster, so he went up to stop them with a whip, but he was knocked down by the elephants and kicked and trampled!"

Everyone shuddered when they saw the bloody arm with many bone fragments mixed in, and even Feng Ziying's valiant demeanor dropped silently.

But it's all here, it's impossible to stop here, right?

So he ordered his mother-in-law to call a doctor nearby, and treated the mahout's dead horse as a live horse doctor. Sun Shaozong took the lead in the front and led the crowd carefully to the moon gate.

woof woof woof woof woof!

As soon as I got here, I heard a dog barking from inside - the one who caused the trouble was still alive and well!

Boom~!

Just as Sun Shaozong was about to look in, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, like a gong knocking on the wall.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a piece the size of a washbasin bulging on the left wall!

"This……"

Sun Shaozong analyzed, "Probably kicked something against the wall."

In fact, it would be better not to analyze it, and after this analysis, Jiang Yuhan even retreated - he originally wanted to follow up and bluff, and would never take the initiative to take the risk.

But looking at it now, these elephants actually have long-range attack methods!

If you follow up, accidentally get caught...

Jiang Yuhan doesn't think her head is harder than that stone wall!

"Mother! I'm here to save you!"

Xue Pan's eyes turned red immediately, and he wanted to rush in with a groan, but Sun Shaozong grabbed him with his backhand, pulled him back behind him, and then cautiously glanced in.

I saw that the yard was in a mess, not to mention the flower garden, even the pomegranate tree that was as thick as a fist was knocked down by the elephants!

Fortunately, the house was still neat and tidy, only the railing under the porch of the main room was broken, and half a window in the west wing was broken.

And those two elephants were dragging long iron chains, and at this time... were being chased by a pug!

A pug the size of a cat was chasing two destructive elephants, running wildly all over the yard, and anyone who dared to stop would immediately pounce on them and bark wildly.

This picture is really speechless!

It's like humans being chased by mice...

Well, it seems that there are many people who are afraid of mice. Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that elephants are afraid of pugs.

At this moment, Xue Pan poked his head out from behind, and couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene, and then cursed after a while, "This special mother is really a coward!"

"The two elephants were obviously tired."

Sun Shaozong pulled him back to the door, and said in a low voice, "You just need to find a way to lure that dog away, and don't provoke them suddenly, they will probably stop by themselves."

"Second brother, goodbye!"

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard it, and then without thinking, he pointed his head into the main room and shouted, "Mother, call your dog away, don't let it chase the elephant around!"

rely on ~

This fellow is really not afraid of provoking elephants!

Sun Shaozong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly probed to see the situation inside. Fortunately, the two elephants were only focused on running away, but did not notice the movement here.

At the same time, I heard Aunt Xue calling tremblingly in the room, "Lele, be good, come to me quickly!"

Needless to say, the call was really effective, the pug took a look into the room, resolutely... made a circle in the yard, and then drove one of the elephants towards the main room!

I'm going~

This little thing actually has the genes of a shepherd dog? !

No wonder the two elephants didn't go anywhere else, but ran wild in the Dongkua courtyard—it turned out that they were driven all the way here!

Xue Pan was dumbfounded immediately, he hurriedly shook Sun Shaozong's shoulders, and stammered nervously, "Second... Er Er Er Ge, this... this, this, this, what should I do?!"

I heard a few screams from a woman in the main room, but the dog barked even more joyfully—if the elephant really broke in, no one can guarantee that something unexpected will happen!

Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, lifted his arms and threw Xue Pan away, and then chased after him at a speed of [-] meters!

Chapter 357

The running speed of an elephant is not comparable to the short-distance sprint speed of a human being—especially this elephant is still a minor, and Sun Shaozong is obviously the best among human beings!

If it is a 30-meter race under the same conditions, Sun Shaozong is even sure to surpass the elephant by more than [-] meters.

However now the situation is...

The elephant sneaked away at least 90 meters ahead of time!

Not to mention Sun Shaozong, even a cheetah would not be able to catch up!

So as soon as he rushed into the yard, he heard a loud bang, but it was the elephant that smashed the threshold and shattered the lintel, and rushed into the living room of the main room with shaking!

After running a few more steps, I heard the noisy noise in the main room, and I don't know how many things were smashed by the elephant.

However, Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, because the woman's screams were all heard in the back room. Since the elephants are still raging outside, it should be considered safe there.

Thinking in this way, he wrapped his sleeves around his hands, rushed towards the inner window without slowing down, and shouted, "Everyone inside hides in the corner!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he also rushed forward, so he covered his head and face with his arms, and suddenly exerted force with his feet, his body suddenly rose into the air, and broke through the window with a bang!

After landing, Sun Shaozong rolled one after another, and then rolled again—until the top of his head hit the bed, and then he managed to stabilize his figure.

Regardless of his dizziness, he got up from the ground and yelled, "Auntie, sister of the Xue family, now I am in a hurry, please forgive me for being rude!"

Saying so, he waited one to the left and the other to the right, held Aunt Xue and Baochai under his armpits, and rushed out through the window.

only……

He just opened his arms and was about to encircle the mother and daughter's slender waist, but suddenly he froze on the spot!

It turned out that besides the plump and fair Aunt Xue and another girl who was somewhat similar to her but had a better figure and color, there was actually a slender and tall little woman huddled in that corner!

rely on ~

Sun Shaozong's jaw dropped, and he blurted out, "But younger siblings face to face?!"

The woman nodded violently with tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Brother, save me quickly, don't leave me here alone!"

This is really troublesome!

Xue Pan didn't make it clear, Sun Shaozong thought that apart from the Xue family's mother and daughter, there were at most one or two women and maids, but who knew that the Wang family was also here!

But now in this situation, it is absolutely impossible to leave any one behind!

If Xue Pan was here, he could still choose whether to save his wife or save his sister-the option of giving up his mother did not exist in the Great Zhou Dynasty, unless Xue Pan was tired of working and was willing to be buried with his mother afterwards, by the way Let the stink be forever!

or...

Protecting them and running outside?

Sun Shaozong's gaze sank, and he shouted, "Pick up your skirt!"

Mrs. Wang was very well-behaved, she immediately lifted her skirt up to her waist, and took advantage of the situation to scratch her head and make a pose.

Aunt Xue obviously misunderstood Sun Shaozong's meaning, so instead of following the instructions, she covered her majestic chest with her hands and glared at Sun Shaozong.

On the other hand, Xue Baochai really deserved to be the second heroine in A Dream of Red Mansions, and immediately shouted, "Don't worry, Second Brother Sun, we all wear thick-soled shoes!"

damn~

All three of them are tall and tall, but what kind of high heels are they wearing? !

Seeing Sun Shaozong scratching his head anxiously, Xue Baochai immediately suggested, "I can take off my shoes..."

"No!"

Sun Shaozong immediately rejected the suggestion, "There are sawdust and branches all over the ground outside, I'm afraid I can't run a few steps..."

Boom~
