Chapter 11: Find a way to escape
Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not cold..... Brother Xiong Chen, the look on your face was so heavy, I thought you were angry with me..... Well...... What are you thinking?"
Xiong Chen rubbed the pimple that had just dissipated on his eyebrows, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "Is it? It's really ugly? It must scare you, doesn't it?"
Xiao Lan nodded, but immediately shook her head again, and said with a smile: "It didn't scare me, I was just worried that you didn't know what to think......"
Xiong Chen raised two thick eyebrows, I was indeed turning a terrible thought.
He looked around, yesterday there was an accident in the mine, buried dozens of slaves, this is the most serious accident since the excavation of the gold mine, although the owner loves money, but also afraid of being punished by God, so he ordered to stop work and rectify, and wait for Daxian to come to see the feng shui, and then excavate.
Today, the slaves don't have to go into the mountains to dig in the mud, everyone takes advantage of this vacancy to sleep lazily, the spring is cold, the wind and water are cold by the lake, and there are no others to come here to wander around in the early morning.
Xiao Lan gently tugged at Xiong Chen's sleeve, her brother Xiong Chen has always been as steady as Mount Tai, and rarely shows such a ...... He looked like a thief.
Xiong Chen held Xiao Lan's hand with his backhand, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lan, it's been more than six years since we were sold to this Nine Dao Mountain Villa, haven't we?"
Xiao Lan kneaded the bridge of her beautiful nose and nodded gently, just now her nose was filled with a little wind, and the itching was strangely uncomfortable, she forcibly endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sneezed a few times.
The sound of sneezing came out loudly along the lake, Xiao Lan's face turned pale with fright, and she also followed Xiong Chen's example, looking left and right, for fear of alarming others
She covered her nose and muffled, "Well, six years and three months. ”
Xiong Chen raised his hand to caress her back as a comfort, and he looked up at the sparkling lake, on the opposite side of which was the mine hidden in the lush jungle, and I heard that there was a lot of gold buried in it, and in order to obtain the wealth of this rich horse, the owner of the farm kept buying slaves from all over the country and digging them.
When Xiong Chen was fourteen years old, he and a group of slaves of about the same age were whipped by the butler, and caught up with the legendary mountain of gold, and the sturdy man was sent to dig in the mine, while a thin boy like him was responsible for carrying the excavated earth to a ravine behind the mountain, and for three years, he and his companions mechanically obeyed the command of the foreman, carrying the basket of sand, gravel and dirt about his own weight, and walked back and forth along a rugged dirt path.
The sheep intestine path, twists and turns, one side is a steep cliff, on the other side is the bottomless canyon, the canyon is foggy underneath, the yin wind that gushes up from the canyon is very thorough, whenever walking on that section of the mountain road, Xiong Chen feels as if falling into a thousand-year-old ice cave, and his whole body keeps trembling.
What frightened Xiong Chen the most was that what often came out of the mine was not the dirt, but the corpses with broken hands and feet, and some of them were still slaves who lived with him! The foremen who were accustomed to seeing it always said lightly that they were in a hurry, and they were hit by stones that fell from the top of the mine.
On several occasions, Xiong Chen's basket was filled with these companions who had unfortunately been stoned to death, and he carried them to the edge of the valley with a blank expression, and poured them down like mud.
He was most afraid that one day when it was his turn to dig in the mine, would he be one of those corpses that had been thrown out?
If that's the case, what should Xiaolan do?
"Xiaolan, this ghost place, we can't stay any longer!"
Xiao Lan raised her head and looked at Xiong Chen in a daze.
"If we don't stay here, where can we go? We have been in this village for the past six years, and we have never even gone out of the gate!"
Xiong Chen lowered his voice: "If we stay here any longer, we will be a dead end!" Xiaolan, I want to ...... I want to take you out with me!"
Xiao Lan shouted in a low voice: "Brother Xiong Chen, we have been in here for so long, we don't even know how old Zhuangzi is, how can we escape? ”
Xiong Chen's expression was resolute, he slammed his fist on the stone, and said, "Even if you bite the wolf dog to death, it is better than living in such a humiliating way...... Xiaolan, here we are untouchables, no one will care about my life and death, beating us to death, for them, it is like stepping on an ant with their feet, you and I are also born of parents, why do we have to suffer so much......"
His chest heaved slightly, his fists clenched and gurgling.
Xiao Lan hung her head sadly, looking at his torn straw sandals with their toes exposed.
"Brother Xiong Chen, it's all my fault, it's me who has caused you to suffer, if it weren't for saving me, you should still be in the village, and you don't have to be betrayed to this place to suffer. ”
Xiong Chen's forehead gently touched Xiao Lan's forehead, and her bangs slid past his eyes, itchy, so comfortable.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about...... Xiong Chen has lived for you all his life, as long as you are safe and happy, Xiong Chen has lost this life, why not?"
Xiao Lan choked a bubble of tears and gently beat his broad chest: "You are not allowed to say life or death...... Since you said that this life is for me, then live well, and think about it, if something happens to you...... So what should I do?"
Xiong Chen's eyes sparkled, hugged Xiao Lan into his arms, and said softly: "Xiao Lan, I want to live this life with you...... As long as we get rid of this Jiudao Villa that eats people and does not spit out bones, we can find a secret place, live a light life, and give birth to a litter of children, you ...... Do you want that?"
Xiao Lan snorted, wiped away the tears that crawled all over her cheeks, and smiled: "I want to, of course I want to, but ....... How can we get out of this Nine Roads Villa? In all these years, I haven't heard of a slave who managed to escape. ”
Xiong Chen held his head, his eyebrows twisted into a big Sichuan character, and let me plan carefully...... If this matter is not urgent, it must be made to make do with the right time and place, and if something goes wrong in any link, the lives of the two will be frozen.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, Xiao Lan's face was pale, this footstep, when it sounded in the middle of the night, could wake up a room full of slave girls...... It is the butler who holds a leather whip all day long to find people's mistakes and takes pleasure in beating people!
Let the housekeeper find out that there is a pair of little slaves secretly tryst under his nose, Qingqing, I oh I am talking about love, I am afraid that I will be killed on the spot and thrown into the lake to feed the fish.
