   Are these the two books? A sneak peek at an interesting chapter—Chapter Twenty-Five: Ambush in the Black Pine Forest. The osmanthus blossoms of Mid-Autumn Festival were still cloyingly fragrant on the windowsill, but Wang Yifan was already pacing around the courtyard with the shop's secret report in his hand. The names "Song Yashi," "Wu Yong," "Zhu Tong," and "Lei Heng" were crammed together on the intelligence report, like a string of cheap abacus beads, making his temples throb—it was obvious even to a fool that Wu Song had been tricked by a group of old acquaintances from *Water Margin*. "Go to Yuncheng." He slammed the report on the stone table, startling the swallows dozing under the eaves. Lu Zhishen was squatting on the millstone, gnawing on a braised pork knuckle, wiping his greasy hands on his clothes: "I've been waiting! Time for the militia training!" Thirty militia members, who had just been tortured by his "Drill Training Manual" for three months, were now standing in formation outside the courtyard, their gray cloth jackets neatly worn, though their shoulders were still reflexively trembling. "I'm going too." Hu Sanniang came out of the house carrying a gilded lacquer box, inside which were half a roll of Xuan paper and several wolf-hair brushes. "I'll go to the calligraphy and painting shops in Yuncheng to check out the newly arrived Huizhou ink, and while I'm at it... Check the shop's accounts." She had recently become obsessed with meticulous flower-and-bird painting, carrying her painting tools everywhere she went. Hearing that she was going out, her eyes lit up like flower petals covered in morning dew. Wang Yifan was about to nod when Qiu Qiongying jumped out from behind the wall, carrying a willow-leaf knife: "Count me in! I heard that the candied hawthorns in Yuncheng are more sour than those in Yanggu!" Ever since this girl formed a women's guard team, she looked forward to going out "on missions" every day. There was even a string of red agate hanging on the scabbard of her knife, which jingled when she shook it. "Sanniang, you..." Wang Yifan looked at the twin lotus flowers embroidered on Hu Sanniang's skirt and really couldn't reconcile the words "ambush soldier" and "artsy young woman." Hu Sanniang had already opened the lacquer box and poured some water into the inkstone: "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I'll just find some shade to paint." She then picked up a purple-tipped brush and gestured a couple of times with Lu Zhishen's staff, saying, "The copper hoops on this iron thing are quite nice; they'll make a good template." The morning mist in the black pine forest hadn't yet dissipated, like a bowl of unmixed lotus root starch. Thirty militiamen squatted in the bushes, their dusty figures almost blending into the pine bark. Their ranks were so neat that from a distance they looked like a patch of newly planted saplings. Lu Zhishen, carrying his staff, tried to hide behind a tree, but "crack!" He broke a thick branch, startling him so much that he quickly covered his mouth, his cheeks still bulging—his mouth stuffed with an unfinished golden lotus pancake. Hu Sanniang chose a bluestone to sit on, spread out a sheet of Xuan paper, and began to sketch pine needles. Her brush hovered over the paper for a long time before falling: "My lord, doesn't that cloud of mist look like pear blossoms?" Wang Yifan, who was observing the road with binoculars (actually a polished glass mirror), almost dropped the mirror upon hearing this: "Sanniang, we're here to rescue people, not to sketch..." "Report!" The scout scrambled back, a burr still clinging to his trouser leg. "Wu Song is still a mile away! Deep in the Black Pine Forest, there are more than a dozen dark figures squatting behind rocks... It looks like they're playing jacks?" Wang Yifan looked through the glass mirror and almost burst out laughing—two of the group were squatting on the ground drawing circles, while another held a tree branch as a command flag, posing more seriously than a militia flag bearer. It was Zhang San and Li Si's "silencing squad." "Are they using the black pine forest as a stage?" Qiu Qiongying, perched on a tree branch, the scabbard of her willow-leaf dagger rattled against the trunk, sending pine needles tumbling down her face. "Should we go down and tie them up now?" Hu Sanniang suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to draw that clump of dodder!" She then secretly pointed to Wang Yifan—five men were lying in ambush on the left. Lu Zhishen, standing nearby, rubbed his hands together anxiously, leaving five black blotches on his staff with his greasy palm prints. "How about I go practice first? Just to stretch my muscles!" Wang Yifan was about to stop him when dust rose in the distance—Wu Song, wearing shackles, walked in the middle, two guards pushing and shoving him like ducks being herded. Suddenly, a dozen or so dark figures in the black pine forest sprang up. Zhang San, brandishing a carrying pole, shouted, "This road is mine!" He then turned to Li Si and asked, "Was that impressive enough?" Li Si, smearing soot on his face, spat and retorted, "Impressive my foot! Forgot what Mr. Wu taught us? We should say 'Leave your toll!'" The militia members in the bushes were barely holding back their laughter, their shoulders shaking as they recalled Lu Zhishen's fierce drills. One new recruit couldn't help but chuckle, only to be glared at by Lu Zhishen and quickly bury his face in the grass. Hu Sanniang, however, was engrossed in the scene, quickly sketching on a piece of paper: "These two look like the Kitchen God, even funnier than the clowns on stage." Wang Yifan sighed, rubbing his forehead—he had expected a thrilling "Wild Boar Forest replica," but instead encountered a bunch of clowns treating "murder to silence witnesses" like a spring outing. He winked at Lu Zhishen, and the Flower Monk immediately stood up, slamming his staff on the ground: "Stop right there!" Thirty militiamen sprang from the bushes, their ranks even more orderly than when they drilled in the village, except some still had pine needles on their heads. Zhang San's hand, holding the carrying pole, froze in mid-air. Looking at this group of "suddenly appearing gray pillars," he suddenly tugged at Li Si: "Mr. Wu didn't teach this kind of thing... Should we run?" Hu Sanniang's hand, holding the paintbrush, paused, then she suddenly giggled: "Look at that guy carrying the carrying pole, he's got an oilcloth bag hanging from his belt, he's definitely hiding food." Wang Yifan, watching this "ambush scene" more lively than a storybook, suddenly felt—bringing the artistic young woman and the foodie militiamen to the rescue didn't seem so unreliable after all. At least at this moment, the murderous aura in the black pine forest had been largely dissipated by the ink fragrance from the inkstone and the militiamen's suppressed laughter.
