Chapter 7: Escape
"Yes, third brother. ”
After the two bodyguards left, Ma San absentmindedly took out a Zhonghua brand cigarette, put it in his nose and sniffed it, and couldn't help but think of Ming Yan's childish face in his mind, "Boy, if you are really undercover, you can't blame me." ”
……
Ming Yan was pushed and pulled by two big men into a dark room opposite, when he saw the little black shadow curled up in the corner was Xiaolan, he didn't show much surprise on the surface, but complained: "Why do you lock me up with a crybaby, I don't want to be here, I want to go back." ”
The two big men didn't pay attention to him, and pushed him inside, Mingyan took advantage of the situation to lie down in front of Xiaolan, Xiaolan saw that it was him, and was about to open his mouth, Mingyan whispered: "Don't speak, the wall has ears." ”
Xiaolan looked outside, and cried without warning, Ming Yan said: "What do I say, a crybaby is a crybaby, I can tell you, I came here to work, not to listen to you cry, if you cry again, I will seal your mouth with tape." ”
The two big men laughed and walked away, they were not laughing at Xiaolan, but the stupid boy who still thought he was here to work.
The big dog, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, saw that he couldn't hear anything famous, and left after a while.
Only then did Ming Yan reassure Xiaolan and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." ”
Xiaolan looked at Ming Yan's sportswear and blinked her bright eyes: "Brother Ming Yan, why didn't you go to the army?
Mingyan smiled and said, "I'll talk about it when I get you out." ”
Xiaolan nodded, Ming Yan didn't dare to say too much, so he went around the four walls, knocked on them with his fingers from time to time, and found that they were all solid walls, it seemed that there was no way to dig the wall and escape this way, suddenly he set his eyes on the ceiling of the roof, the room that closed them and the room opposite should be connected, if they can climb from the top to the opposite side, and then find a breakthrough to escape with everyone.
I just don't know if looking at the thin and brittle ceiling can withstand myself.
Seeing Ming Yan staring at the roof in a daze, Xiao Lan guessed what he was going to do, pulled his clothes, pointed to them and said, "Brother Ming Yan, I can do it." ”
Mingyan looked at her small body, and was happy, that's right, letting Xiaolan go up is the safest and safest, her body is small, it is not easy to be found, and the weight ceiling of dozens of catties can still bear it.
It's just that the risk is still too big during the day, what if that group suddenly opens the door and comes in?
After dark, Ming Yan leaned against the wall and let Xiaolan stand on his shoulder, although he could build the ceiling, but the ceiling was fixed very tightly, and Xiaolan, an eight-year-old girl, did not have so much strength to push the ceiling.
Mingyan also wondered, usually the ceiling on the top of the house is placed on it, at most it is glued and glued, and it can still be pushed open with a little force, but the ceiling here is like being fixed with concrete.
Through the sound of Xiaolan's light tapping, you can hear that it is empty, and there is a lot of space.
Xiaolan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, Ming Yan pulled out the dagger pinned to her waist and handed it to her, the little girl had little strength, she could only illuminate what Yan said, and gently slashed along the four sides of the ceiling with the sharp blade of the dagger, and the ceiling made a muffled sound, the sound was not loud but very crisp.
"Knock-" The sound of the steel pipe knocking on the iron door, Xiaolan rolled off Mingyan's shoulder in fright, Mingyan put her on the ground with the fastest reaction speed, and then lay on her back in the corner of the wall and snored.
The iron door was opened a crack, a big head poked in from the outside, the miner's lamp in his hand swept around the room, seeing Mingyan snoring, but the girl Xiaolan opened her eyes and looked out timidly, and the big head asked angrily: "Why don't you sleep?"
Xiaolan pointed to the "sleeping" Mingyan and said, "He, he snores too loudly, I'm afraid." ”
"Scared of a ball, close your eyes, and fall asleep after a while. ”
Xiaolan had no choice but to close her eyes, close the door with her big head, and then add a big lock, which is also what Ma San meant, someone in the city will come to check the day after tomorrow, and nothing can happen to the joints.
After the big head left, Ming Yan continued to pry the ceiling with Xiao Lan, the hard work paid off, and after a few minutes of hard work, Xiao Lan finally pushed open the heavy ceiling, and then Ming Yan pushed her inside.
After a few more minutes, Xiaolan was covered in ash and crawled back like a cat, she had already conveyed Mingyan's meaning to the children on the other side.
In the second half of the night, the guards outside were withdrawn, and occasionally someone came to patrol, and at first they would responsibly open the iron door to count the number of people, and then they didn't even bother to open the door.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy woke up all the children in turn, and the little fat man was sleeping soundly, he stretched his waist, looked up at the fragile ceiling and asked, "Brother, do you say that Brother Bing can do it? What if the ceiling can't bear it?"
The boy didn't worry about the other children, their weight was about the same as Xiaolan's, so they should be fine, the only thing he was worried about was his own physique and Xiaopang's.
The children looked depressed one by one, everyone got along for so many days and also had a certain feeling, saying that they would go together, and missing any of them was the last thing they wanted to see.
At this moment, the ceiling above was pulled open, and a long troop knapsack rope hung from it.
The boy immediately tied one end of the rope to the youngest little girl, and then pulled the rope on top, and the rope began to rise, pulling the girl to it.
In this way, Ming Yan brought the twelve children to the ceiling one by one, as for whether the ceiling can withstand so many people, he doesn't have to worry about this, because there is a layer of cement slabs on the ceiling, that is, the so-called beams, seven or eight beams criss-cross, the children walk on the beams, holding on to the wall, and follow Ming Yan's footsteps step by step.
The youngest children were held by Mingyan and the older children, carefully moving their steps, and under Mingyan's leadership, everyone saw a huge chimney mouth, which used to be a boiler room, specially used to boil water for the workers to bathe, but now that the company has closed down, it has been idle.
Mingyan asked everyone to climb out along this inclined chimney, but no one dared to go in, for the same reason, no one knew where this chimney led, in case the mouth was sealed, it would be difficult for them to climb up, in other words, even if the end was connected to the boiler room, but in case someone was guarding inside, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Their worries were not unreasonable, but at the moment there was no other way for Mingyan to get out of the chimney.
"I believe in Brother Mingyan. Xiaolan took the lead and climbed in, her bravery made Mingyan unbelievable that this was a girl less than ten years old.
"I believe in Brother Bing. Another little boy volunteered to follow behind, Ming Yan was very moved, but still took his hand, and then said to Xiao Lan inside: "If you find something wrong, pull the rope, if everything is normal, pull the rope three times, and untie the rope, you know?"
Xiaolan immediately tied the rope to her calf, and climbed down the chimney step by step.
After waiting for about two minutes, the rope moved three times, and then took it off, and Ming Yan was relieved to let the people behind follow......
The boiler room was pitch black, and more than a dozen short figures shrank in the corner, waiting for Ming Yan's next plan.
Ming Yan counted the number of people through the dim moonlight outside, plus he should be fourteen heads, but there were only thirteen of them, and the young man patted his thigh and said, "It's bad, Xiaopang is still on it." ”
"Could it still be up there and not in the chimney?" said Rando.
Ming Yan was very puzzled, he was the last to climb out, he had obviously clicked, just fourteen heads, no more, no less, how could there be one less little fat?
"Brother Mingyan, you must save Chubby, if they catch him, he will be killed. Xiaolan said with tears in her eyes.
