Nightmare Attack

v3 Chapter 1188: lotus

His gaze paused for a moment on the coachman's shoes, and Jiang Cheng frowned slightly.

A few broken tables were placed at the entrance of the nearby alley, and a large iron kettle was placed on the ground, which was black and dark, with a fire under it, and white steam spouted from the mouth of the kettle.

A few people sat scattered around the table, their clothes were ragged, and they were shaking cattail fans. Some of them were reading the newspaper with their heads down. stand.

At the same time, everyone noticed that on the wall next to the iron gate, there was a sign with the words Su Zhai on it.

It seems that the owner of this house is named Su.

The man who looked like a housekeeper walked up to the iron door, clenched his fists, and knocked on the door.

Jiang Cheng found that the movements of his hands were very strange. First he tapped twice at a slower speed, then paused, and then tapped twice quickly, as if a secret agent had to check the password before connecting.

Almost immediately, the iron door opened a gap, revealing a small half of the face behind.

A man with a fleshy face stared at them vigilantly. 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 the servant of the nursing home.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." The butler-looking man smiled, "These people are the guests invited by the master to see the doctor. I personally picked them up from the patrol room. There is no problem."

Although the housekeeper said so, the man still didn't relax his vigilance, his sharp eyes like an eagle swept over everyone, and it took about ten seconds before he opened the door.

The housekeeper led a group of people into the yard quickly, and Lin Qianqian was the last one. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard a "bang" behind her. The man who opened the door closed the door heavily, which startled her.

"Everyone, my master is not in good health. He likes to be quiet and not to make trouble. I hope you can abide by the rules here." Maybe because he knew they couldn't escape, the housekeeper's attitude towards them was not as respectful as it was at the beginning. , Said with a smirk.

"Okay." Everyone cooperated very well.

The house looks inconspicuous from the outside, but after entering it, it is discovered that it has a hidden cave, the area is much larger than imagined, and there is even a pond with a unique shape.

But at the moment the pond was bare, and there was a person with his back to them, who was not in the waist-deep pool, pulling out the few remaining lotus in it.

This season, the lotus is in full bloom, complementing the rockery and the clear water, forming a beautiful scene, but the people here are cruel to pull out the lotus, and the fat man can't figure it out.

There are still many lotus flowers that have been pulled out by the pond, and someone on the bank is barefoot, picking up the lotus in bunches, and throwing them into a wheelbarrow without mercy.

Yao Shunyu trotted over to talk to the people on the bank. After the steward 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 walk around here!"

Yao Shunyu clutched his stomach, with a painful expression on his face, "I don't want to, but I need to find a convenient place, my stomach is ruined."

The housekeeper had nothing to do with him, so he had to let him bear it for a while, they were coming soon.

About a minute later, the group was brought to a small building with three floors. It looked antique from the outside, and there were two shirtless men standing outside the door.

The butler stepped forward and said something softly with a smile on his face. The two men glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others one by one, then opened the door and let them in.

"I'll go in and report, you guys just wait here, don't wander around." After leaving a word, the butler turned around and walked inside.

The place where they are now is similar to a living room, and everyone is looking for a place to sit down. At this time, Yao Shunyu still has the painful face before. He was the first to find the sofa and sit down, crossing his legs carelessly.

"Same as outside?" Zhang Shiwei in suit and leather shoes was the first to break the silence, looking at Yao, Shunyu, obviously talking to him.

Yao Shunyu glanced outside the door, but didn't notice anyone watching, put down his legs, his arrogance restrained a lot, and his voice also lowered, "Well, just like the outside, the servants in this house are all Orientals in disguise."

"Just now I ran over to talk to the two people who fished the lotus, 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 3 men when we came in, none of them spoke, and you pay attention to the attitude of the butler. Is it necessary for him to be so humble when facing the servants?"

Listening to Yao Shunyu's words, the fat man's head grew bigger. Along the way, he also noticed that something was wrong, but what happened to the oriental people?

"The driver pulling the rickshaw outside, as well as the people sitting at the tea stand drinking tea, are all disguised Orientals. This house is completely under surveillance," Jiang Cheng said.

Li Shanru leaned on the back of the chair, folded her hands on her chest, and sneered, "But these oriental idiots don't know how to pretend at all. It's cooler now, and it's a good time for rickshaws to do work, but those two people actually stopped to sleep Dajue, and their skin is very good, how can it be possible for people who pull cars outside all year round and live in the wind and sun?"

"And those guys sitting at the tea stand, are they actually reading newspapers?" Li Shanru showed a completely incomprehensible expression, "Look at their clothes, they don't have their next meal, and they still have the mind to buy newspapers See? Besides...under the background of this world, there are not many ordinary coolies who are literate."

"It's mainly their feet." A very soft voice sounded~lightnovelpub.net~Lin Qianqian raised her hand and pulled the broken hair from her temples, "Their thumbs are everted, and there is a split between the index finger and the thumb , this is caused by wearing wooden clogs all the year round, but Chinese people don’t have such a habit, only Orientals have it.”

"Also, it's strange that they pull out lotus flowers. Chinese people don't have this habit, but Orientals do, because in their culture, lotus flowers are taboo and they think lotus flowers are mourning flowers."

"It is not allowed to give lotus flowers when visiting patients, and it is taboo to send greeting cards with lotus patterns. In Dongyang, lotus flowers are only used for funerals." Lin Qianqian's voice was very soft, but she said everything on the point.

He Ping, who had been 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, they should be soldiers."

Li Bai was sitting upright, and the white coat on her body gave her a very special aura, "So...our mission goal this time is to be under the strict surveillance of the Japanese soldiers."

"Maybe it's protection." Yao Shunyu narrowed his eyes.
