Chapter 266: Conditions

He was actually deceived by Tang Xu, if he had known that Song was a trump card, how could he have lost so badly? So much so that he had to go against the plan and flee into this mountain where birds don't.

The madness in his eyes was distorted to the point of frightening.

The expression on Tang Xu's face was indifferent, and the corners of his lips hooked up a touch of sarcasm, and said: "The difference between me and you is that I am still a human being, and you are just a beast. ”

There was contempt on his face, although he was already a fish on the chopping board, he didn't take Tang Chengen in his eyes at all.

He neither denied nor admitted it, Tang Chengen laughed out loud and said, "How come I never knew that you were so noble third brother?"

"Because you're a brute. Tang Xu spit out a few words from between his teeth, ignored him anymore, and closed his eyes.

Tang Chengen didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak anymore, and sat by the fire with a gloomy face.

The sound of rain falling sparsely and quietly in this silent mountain makes people restless. Tang Chengen sat alone for a while before raising his head, raised his wrist to look at the time, and then stood up when he saw that the rain had subsided.

He quickly put on the clothes that were drying on the side, then dragged Tang Xu up and said, "After resting for half a day, the third brother should also rest." ”

It's been too much time to delay, and if they don't leave, the people behind will catch up at any time if they search in the rain. And it will soon get dark, and even if it doesn't rain, it is much more dangerous to travel at night than to rush in the rain.

Tang Xu didn't say anything, slowly propped himself up, and the two quickly entered the rain.

Because of the rain, the forest is foggy and visibility is very low. Probably afraid that Tang Xu would play tricks, Tang Chengen tightened the rope in his hand shorter and continued to let him walk in front.

Tang Xu was already suffering from a fever, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, so the two walked slowly and laboriously. It doesn't take long to stop and rest.

Tang Chengen didn't know what new ideas he had, and he was much calmer and calmer than his previous anxiety. Don't urge Tang anymore.

It was a little strange for him to suddenly change like this, Tang Xu naturally didn't have time to care about him, he just acted according to his requirements in a groggy state.

It rained and got dark early, and the two of them had good luck today. There was no open-air accommodation and found a cave that was fairly dry.

I have always only eaten wild fruits, and my body can't bear it. After Tang Chengen entered the cave, he didn't even have a fire, and he sat on the ground and closed his eyes.

Tang Xu coughed and said, "Make a fire, the clothes on my body are soaking through and I'm cold." ”

The corners of Tang Chengen's lips hooked up with a touch of sarcasm, and said, "Third brother, is this the young master's problem that hasn't changed?"

Tang Xu didn't speak, slowly sat up, stretched out his hands tied to the rope in front of Tang Chengen, and said, "Untie." ”

His face flushed strangely, and his breathing became much heavier. At first glance, you can tell that it must be burning badly.

Tang Chengen didn't move, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

Tang Xu sneered and said, "Where can I go now? There's firewood over there, and I'm afraid of what tricks I'll play in front of your eyes?"

No, the last thing that is lacking in this forest is firewood. There was a lot of firewood at the mouth of the cave.

Tang Xu is like this now, he can't run far.

It wasn't just him who was cold in the rain, Tang Chengen didn't speak after thinking for a while, untied the rope in his hand, and said coldly: "You'd better not play any tricks." ”

Tang Xu sneered, ignored him, slowly walked out of the cave, and picked up firewood outside.

He can only use one hand, and he can only hold very little firewood at a time. It took several trips to pick up enough firewood.

Tang Chengen was not idle, and lit a fire. It's just that the firewood is wet, and it takes a while to ignite.

There was a smell of smoke in the cave, and Tang Xu coughed again. After collecting the firewood, he didn't go in again, but stayed outside.

The fire finally started, Tang Chengen took the rope again and tied Tang Xu up, then closed his eyes and rested by the fire.

He hadn't had a good rest these days, and only took a few naps. This is probably because of too much physical exertion, so I fell asleep quickly.

He has a rare time when he is unprepared, and if he can do it, now is undoubtedly the best time to do it. It's a pity that Tang Xu was tightly tied up by him and couldn't move at all.

Although Tang Xu had a fever, he was still awake and did not rest. His eyes fell on the sloppy bearded Tang Chengen, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It took a long time before I closed my eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Tang Chengen suddenly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a slight noise outside, but when he listened closely, there was nothing.

The fire in front of him was about to be extinguished, and there was only a faint light. He glanced at Tang Xu, who closed his eyes and didn't know if he was asleep, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

The rain had stopped outside, but it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Tang Chengen stood at the door for a moment, then returned to the fire, added a handful of firewood to the fire, woke up the sleeping Tang Xu, and said, "There is something outside." ”

After all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and from time to time there will be all kinds of animals, they have not encountered them, but they are not big animals, so there is no danger.

Tang Xu slowly opened his eyes, probably because he had been vigilant for a long time, and his eyes were clear. The corners of his lips hooked up a touch of sarcasm, looked at the tightly tied rope, and said: "Second brother thinks I can help what I can do? I'm afraid it depends on the second brother himself, I wish the second brother good luck." ”

Tang Chengen did not speak, nor did he untie the ropes on his body. After waking him up, he returned to the entrance of the cave and continued to listen to the movement outside.

Because it was pitch black outside, even if he brought a telescope, it didn't work, and he still couldn't see anything.

He stood at the mouth of the cave for about ten minutes before he returned to the fire. At this time, the firewood was already burning, and he sat down beside the fire, and said lightly: "I will start to hurry as soon as the morning dawns." ”

Time passed slowly, and it was only twelve o'clock in the evening. There are still a few hours until dawn.

He was in charge all the way, Tang Xu didn't speak lazily, and closed his eyes again.

I don't know if Tang Chengen's spirit was too tight or what, he had just sat down for a short time, and there was a sound of branches clicking and breaking outside. He immediately listened with bated breath. But it was quiet outside.

Hearing voices one after another could not have been his hallucinations. He looked at Tang Xu, who had closed his eyes, and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

Tang Xu didn't know if he heard it, but after a while, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "My ears are not as smart as my second brother, so I haven't heard anything." ”

No one knew whether he was telling the truth or a lie, Tang Chengen snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you can get better if I have something?"

Tang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Second brother should feel that there is something to go out and see." ”

Tang Chengen's face was gloomy, and he didn't speak or get up. Tang Xu didn't pay any more attention to him, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Tang Chengen suspected that he was a little too sensitive, and after listening carefully for a while without hearing any sound, he also began to close his eyes and rest. But he had barely closed his eyes when the clicking sound rang out again.

He woke up all of a sudden, and didn't call Tang Xu again, but quietly arrived at the entrance of the cave, intending to listen carefully.

But the voice seemed to be working against him, and he listened carefully but there was no sound. He had to go back to the fire again.

The night went on and on, and every time he was going to fall asleep, the clicking sound would appear. When he got to the back, he simply stopped sleeping, and sat by the fire with his eyes open.

He had hardly believed in ghosts and gods, but he felt that there was something evil here. When the sky outside brightened, he got up, woke Tang Xu up, and said, "Get up, it's time to hurry." ”

Tang Xu had been accustomed to following his arrangements these days, but he didn't move today, raised his eyelids and looked outside, and said, "Isn't it still early?" 361 read

It was lit up, but visibility outside was still low. It's still a misty patch.

Tang Chengen glanced at Tang Xu with a smile and said, "Third brother, do you want to sleep here?"

He didn't say much to Tang Xu, and untied the rope on his body. It continued to be tied to his hands. After doing all this, he got up and walked outside. Tang Xu followed him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, Tang Chengen, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. In the past, when there was danger, he would push Tang Xu out first, but today he didn't. He slowly pulled out his gun, and after a minute or two, he directly dragged Tang Xu and said to the empty surroundings, "Come out." ”

Tang Xu didn't expect him to suddenly drag him, his injured hand was collided, and he couldn't help but snort. He quickly looked outside, a sneer curled up on his lips, and he said slowly, "Second brother, is this hysteria?"

It was still foggy, but there was nothing to see.

Tang Chengen ignored Tang Xu's taunt, but still put a gun to his head, and said to the surroundings: "Come out, I'll count three, if you don't come out, I'll collapse him." ”

His voice was unpredictable, and he began to count as he spoke: "One, two, three......"

The three counts were quickly completed, but there was still silence all around, and there was no sound.

He was clearly deceiving the other party and did not shoot. Tang Xu snorted softly.

Tang Chengen didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't go outside anymore. Still looking around vigilantly. It was silent, and there was no sound except the sound of the wind stirring the leaves.

Just stayed like that for a few minutes, and when Tang Xu thought that Tang Chengen was leaving, he dragged him back to the cave. didn't speak, just looked at Tang Xu so gloomily.

Tang Xu's face was hooked with ridicule, and he said, "Second brother, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Shut up. Tang Chengen scolded coldly and asked, "Did you leave any marks along the way?"

He had actually been paying attention to Tang Xu all the time, and he hadn't seen him leave a mark. But Tang Xu was cunning, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he didn't leave a mark at all.

His instincts told him that there should be someone nearby.

He didn't dare to get out of the cave now, he was afraid that if he did, he would be killed by the hidden snipers and knocked to the ground.

Tang Xu looked at the bound hands, snorted, and said, "Second brother, do you think I can leave a mark like this?"

"Not necessarily. Tang Chengen sneered, stopped talking nonsense with him, and took out the binoculars to look outside.

In the cave, the view is limited, and the area that can be seen is very limited. And he saw nothing in this limited confinement.

If someone does chase them, they will never hide in an easy place.

He didn't seem to have any intention of leaving now, Tang Xu didn't bother to care about him, yawned, and said, "If the second brother doesn't plan to leave, I'll sleep." ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes.

Tang Chengen looked at him gloomily, then picked up the telescope and kept an eye on the outside all the time.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually brightened. The fog outside gradually dispersed. A piece of clarity was restored.

Tang Xu, who was beside the fire, let out an even breathing sound, as if he was asleep.

Tang Chengen still didn't go out, holding a telescope and looking outside. But there's still nothing out there.

If there is no one, then if he continues to delay, sooner or later he will be caught up by the people behind him. He didn't have much time to stay still in the cave.

Tang Chengen called Tang Xu up after carefully observing the outside and said, "Go." ”

He was even more cautious this time, and kept dragging Tang Xu, and the gun in his hand was against the back of his head. A sneer flashed at the corner of Tang Xu's lips, and he looked faintly into the dense forest, and then slowly walked out of the cave.

Tang Chengen had been observing for so long, he originally thought that he would leave directly now. But after a few steps, as if he had discovered something, he grabbed him by the neck and hurried back to the stone wall of the cave. Then he glanced at the dense forest above, laughed out loud, and said, "Come out Tang Yao, since you're here, don't fucking look like a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

I don't know what caused his suspicions.

This time, without waiting for Tang to speak, Tang Chengen continued with pity: "If I don't want to come out, I can only let the third brother suffer a little guilt." ”

He still wants to use Tang Xu as a hostage, he doesn't dare to really kill him. But let him suffer a little sin, that's an easy thing.

As he spoke, he pointed the gun in his hand at Tang Xu's ear, and said gloomily, "Third brother, if you still want this ear, call them out." Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll do anything. I don't think the third brother thinks I'm joking and scaring you. ”

He has always been ruthless, and there is nothing he can't do.

Before Tang Xu could speak, Tang Yao above slowly stood out from the dense forest. He was dressed in green clothes, and he wore a green leaf ring on his head with a twig, so that even if he walked in front of him, he could not see it if he did not pay attention.

When Tang Chengen saw him come out, he laughed and said, "It's rare that the eldest brother came here in person." The eldest brother has always been pampered, and it is not easy to get here. It seems that the eldest brother really has a bit of brotherly affection for the third brother, tsk, it's not easy. ”

Tang Yao's face didn't change at all, as if he hadn't heard what he said, he glanced at Tang Xu, who was being dragged by him, and said, "Let Ah Xu go, I'll let you go." ”

Tang Chengen laughed even louder at this time, and said, "Let me go? Can you be the master? Big brother has always been used to treating people as fools?"

He didn't believe that Tang Yao would let him go at all.

Tang Yao didn't pay attention to the ridicule in his tone, and said: "The people who came with me are all people under my hands, as long as you let Ah Xu go, you can leave now." My people will never stop you. ”

Tang Chengen's face was a little playful, and he said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." I'm not going to go anymore. You've caught up, can I still get away?"

His tone was gloomy. He had nothing, and he didn't have any rest or food, so even if he was released, it would be easy for them to catch him. If Tang Xu is released, it means that he doesn't even have the last bargaining chip, so he can only wait for death, where can he be so stupid.

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tang Yao to speak, he laughed and said, "Big brother come here, you should bring something to eat, right? If the eldest brother is sincere, at least let me eat first. ”

With Tang Xu in his hands, it was normal for him to make a request.

Tang Yao was very generous, and soon after raising his hand, someone handed the food in his backpack to his hand. He took the food and stepped forward slowly.

He planned to send Tang Chengen over in person, but after only a few steps, Tang Chengen said, "Stop, don't get any closer, just throw it over." ”

Tang Yao didn't speak, looked at the food in his hand, and then looked at Tang Xu, who was haggard and embarrassed, and threw the thing over.

Tang Chengen was cunning, although the thing was thrown in front of him, he didn't pick it up himself, but pushed Tang Xu with a gun, and said, "The third brother must be hungry too, pick it up." ”

The things that Tang Yao threw over, in addition to food and water. Tang Xu picked it up according to Tang Chengen's request.

At this moment, Tang Chengen was even more cautious, and after the food was in hand, he took Tang Xu back to the cave.

Although he asked Tang Yao for food, he didn't dare to eat it. Let Tang Xu try it first, and seeing that he didn't react, he also started eating.

The two of them have been eating wild fruits for the past few days, and even the dry bread has become extremely tempting. He ate the food in two clicks. And he drank the water.

It stands to reason that he should negotiate terms with Tang Yao after he has eaten and drunk enough, but he is not in a hurry at all, he sits in the cave and closes his eyes and pretends to sleep.

Even at this moment, no one dared to underestimate him. Tang Yao outside did not dare to act rashly, waiting for him to put forward conditions.
