Chapter 145: Crisis
In the dark, Zhang Yuanyang fell asleep against the mountain wall, breathing long and even, and there seemed to be no trace of trouble. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Hua Liyue still did not give up groping around in the cave, tapping to find a way out, desperately thinking about a way out in her mind.
It's a pity that no matter where you touch it or knock it, all that comes out is a dull sound, and there is no hollow behind the mountain wall.
Hua Lianyue sighed helplessly: This is really a natural prison, but I am afraid that it is more reliable than the prison of the county government.
As time passed, the erosion of the cold made her body gradually numb, and when she did not eat for a day and a night, a feeling of vertigo that bordered on collapse almost swallowed her. Her pale lower lip had been bitten and bruised, and it was the tingling sensation that kept her awake.
There was the sound of footsteps in my ears again, and there was more than one person who heard the sound. Hua Lianyue hurriedly returned to Zhang Yuanyang's side and gently pushed him.
Zhang Yuanyang blinked in a daze, and just wanted to speak, Hua Lianyue hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "Someone is here again, I'll help you tie the rope again, be careful not to expose the stuffing." ”
Feeling Zhang Yuanyang nodding lightly under his palm, Hua Lianyue pulled the hemp rope into a looper as fast as she could, and put it on his wrist. In this way, you can not see the flaws, and you can free yourself at any time. She still painted the gourd herself, made a looper, and kept her own gloves.
After all this was done, several men with swords and oil lamps came to the mouth of the cave. One of them was the same man who had delivered the food earlier, and he took out the key and opened the lock on the fence.
The leader was a skinny man in his forties with a mustache. His face is not good, his two eyebrows are sparse and faint, his eyelids are drooping, but his eyes are extremely vicious, making people dare not look directly.
The children were all shivering and huddled together, like a flock of frightened quails. He looked around and frowned at the sight of the forgotten girl's corpse. When his gaze swept to Zhang Yuanyang, who was next to Hua Lianyue, the corners of his lips hooked, and finally showed a cruel smile.
"Someone!"
"What does Leader Qin command?"
"Drag the carcass out to feed the snakes. Leader Qin commanded coldly. Immediately, two people stepped forward and carried out the body of the girl who was curled up in a ball.
He pointed at Zhang Yuanyang again and said, "Arrest this little young master Zhang." ”
Hua Lianyue, Zhang Yuanyang was taken aback when he heard this. The other two subordinates immediately came up to arrest Zhang Yuanyang. Where is Zhang Yuanyang willing to give in easily, he kicked desperately, and shouted angrily: "Let go of me, I won't go, I won't go over......"
"You don't want to come?" Leader Qin sneered: "This is not up to you, who made your family not cry when they don't see the coffin, and they dare to report to the official." If she doesn't take some parts from you, how can she learn a lesson and be willing to hand over the silver obediently. ”
This...... This demon!
Hua Liyue shuddered, and the hairs on her body stood up. She immediately blocked her thin body in front of Zhang Yuanyang and shouted, "Lord Chief, why do you need to be so angry. You just want money, and it's the same to ask this young master to write a letter back. His handwriting must be known to the adults in the family, and in order to keep him, he will obediently hand over the money. ”
Leader Qin's expression moved slightly, and he took a few steps forward and came to Hua Lianyue.
Hua Lianyue was overjoyed, she suppressed the rioting Zhang Yuanyang with all her might, and said with a smile: "Lord Chief, think about it, what I said makes sense. Why make it bloody when you can solve it with a letter. ”
Leader Qin squatted down, reached out and pinched Hua Lianyue's chin, lifting her face up. Hua Lianyue lowered her eyelids slightly, hiding the anger in her eyes. His hand was as strong as iron pincers, and soon left two blue finger marks on her delicate chin.
"Your idea is very good!" he spit out a sentence lightly, which made the tense Hua Liyue breathe a sigh of relief.
Leader Qin laughed and let go of Hua Liyue's jaw. As soon as he reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuanyang's shoulder, he lifted him out like a chick.
Hua Lianyue hurriedly said to Zhang Yuanyang: "Be obedient, the leader will do whatever you want." I wrote a letter and it didn't take long to go home. She was worried that Zhang Yuanyang's resistance would anger the people in front of her, and she would suffer a big loss at that time.
Although Zhang Yuanyang is a young man, after all, he grew up in a wealthy township and has never seen such a scene. Although his dark eyes contained grievance and anger, he still nodded obediently and did not continue to struggle.
The leader of Qin looked at the two of them with a smile, and after Hua Lianyue finished explaining, he took out the sword on his waist and raised it slightly, and the hemp rope in Zhang Yuanyang's hand broke in response.
Zhang Yuanyang rubbed his wrist and said stiffly: "Bring the pen and paper!"
"Pen and paper?" Leader Qin's eyes showed a hint of hideousness, and the sword in his hand swung out again, and a cold light stung Hua Lianyue's eyes. Zhang Yuanyang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hugged his right hand, which was missing a tail finger, and screamed in pain.
"Yuanyang!" Hua Lianyue was startled, stood up suddenly, and scolded: "Bastard, why don't you talk ......"
Leader Qin waved his hand violently and slapped Hua Lianyue's cheek fiercely. He used a lot of strength, Hua Lianyue was defenseless, her face was tilted to one side, and she almost fainted. A hot pain spread over half of her face, and she felt nothing but a buzzing in her ears and the smell of blood in her mouth.
Leader Qin grabbed her hair, rudely lifted her face, and sneered, "When you get here, you can't protect yourself." It's better to worry less about others and worry more about yourself!" He pushed hard, pushing Hua Lianyue to the ground.
Looking at Zhang Yuanyang, who was rolling on the ground with his palms in pain, but gritted his teeth and refused to cry, Hua Lianyue's eyes gradually moistened. She trembled and bit her lip, and the tighter she bitten, the bloody breath became thicker and thicker in her mouth.
She hated the cruelty of the man in front of her, and she hated her powerlessness at the moment.
The other children were so frightened by this scene that they cried. The whimpering sound of one after another provoked the Qin leader to be furious, and he turned around sharply and roared: "Whoever dares to cry again, take all of you to feed the snake!"
All cries ceased abruptly, except for the occasional spilling short sobs, which rang out from time to time in the empty cavern.
The leader of Qin used his sword to cut off a piece from Zhang Yuanyang's underwear and spread it on the ground to serve as paper. and then forced Zhang Yuanyang to use his own blood as ink and his fingers as a pen to write a blood letter for help.
Hua Lianyue looked at Zhang Yuanyang worriedly, for fear that this child would be too stubborn and do something to anger this vicious leader.
Zhang Yuanyang's little face was already covered with cold sweat, he raised his eyes and looked at Hua Lianyue in embarrassment, and saw that she nodded imperceptibly. He finally gritted his teeth, dipped his fingers in his own blood, and wrote with difficulty on the cloth.
A blood letter asking for help was finally written, and the leader of Qin took it in his hand and looked at it slightly, and finally laughed with satisfaction: "Okay, good, it is worthy of being a young master from a scholarly family, this handwriting is better than others." ”
He blew a little, waited for the blood stains to dry a little, and stuffed the blood letter into his sleeve pocket along with Zhang Yuanyang's severed finger. After getting what he wanted, he showed a hypocritical smile on his face, and said to Zhang Yuanyang: "Little young master, have a good rest, and I will leave here." ”
Zhang Yuanyang closed his lips tightly, turning his head unwilling to look at his hypocritical and ugly face. Leader Qin didn't care, laughed and left with his subordinates.
After this group of people walked out of a distance, Hua Lianyue's ears were tipped, and she faintly heard the leader of Qin say to the people around him: "The Zhang family has reported to the official, I'm afraid I will have to bring a few more brothers over this time...... By the way, that stinky boy is useless anymore. He had seen a few of us again, and he was destined to not stay. You'll ...... him later."
Hua Lianyue only felt a "buzz" in her head, and for a moment her mind was blank. These people didn't even think about staying alive.
What should I do? She knocked her head hard, hating why she was so useless, leaving the support of the big and small shuang, there was no way at all.
Suddenly, I felt that my sleeve was being pulled, and Zhang Yuanyang's voice of pain sounded in my ears: "Sister Hua, I hurt so much." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too useless to protect you. Hua Liyue hurriedly took him into her arms and comforted him in a low voice.
"It's not your fault. Leaning on Hua Lianyue's arms, Zhang Yuanyang gritted his teeth and whispered: "I have memorized their faces, as long as I get out of this ghost place." I will definitely draw their portraits with my own hands and hand them over to Six Doors to hunt down. I will make them like lost dogs, and they will not live in fear. There was hatred and resentment in his immature voice that should not be there at this age.
"Listen to me!" Hua Lianyue's heart moved, and she hurriedly held his shoulder. Although she couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, she still said with a serious face: "They have no intention of letting us go at all, and we must not sit idly by." No matter who comes, we have to think of a way to give it a go, this is our last chance to live. ”
Although Hua Lianyue heard that the Qin leader wanted Zhang Yuanyang's life for the time being, she automatically linked his fate with herself.
In the dark, Zhang Yuanyang's bright black eyes stared at her directly, and after half a sound, he nodded and said very solemnly: "Sister Hua, I listen to you." ”
Hua Lianyue touched the copper hairpin that she secretly hid in her arms, facing a group of murderous villains, this small copper hairpin was their only weapon. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, if she wanted to survive this time, she was afraid that it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuanyang's hand, and he flinched. Hua Lianyue felt that her palm was wet and slippery, and it seemed that she had just grasped his right hand with a broken finger.
She hurriedly tore a clean strip of cloth from her middle coat and bandaged the wound on his severed finger for him. Because it can't be seen, everything can only be done by groping. She was relieved when she felt the strip of cloth at the wound, which did not seem to be soaked in blood.
Hua Liyue gently held his injured hand and did not let go. After half a ring, he said abruptly: "Maybe we will all die this time, but even if we want to die, we can't make them too proud." Although her voice was low and hoarse, it strangely gave Zhang Yuanyang strength.
She finally let go of Zhang Yuanyang's hand, gently stroked the top of his hair, and said, "Are you afraid?"
In the dark, Zhang Yuanyang vaguely saw her cold black eyes. He shook his head lightly and said firmly: "I'm not afraid! They are like hungry wolves who are not greedy enough, and treat us as soft meat buns for them to devour." Even if we are meat buns, there are stones hidden. If they want to swallow it, they will have to knock out half of their teeth. ”
"No matter what, Sister Hua will always be with you. ”
Hua Lianyue stroked his hair, but sighed slightly in her heart: Brother Lian, the ten-day appointment, it seems that Yue'er is going to break her trust!
In the dark cave, a damp wind blew, making people feel cold and biting. The cold wind couldn't blow the bloody breath in the air, but it had a more solemn smell.
Sure enough, not long after, footsteps sounded outside again. Hua Lianyue pushed Zhang Yuanyang in her arms and whispered, "They are here, are you ready?"
Zhang Yuanyang smiled silently, and in the dark, his white teeth were particularly conspicuous.
Two men appeared with the light, one in green clothes and the other in gray clothes. The dim light of the fire flickered, tearing their shadows out of shape, making it difficult to see.
Hua Liyue still sat against the mountain wall, but this time she sat close to the fence. Her hands were still symbolically behind her back, the hemp rope was not covered, but there was an extra copper hairpin in her palm. This copper hairpin she had just sharpened on the ground, and it was so sharp that it could easily pierce flesh.
Her palms were already sweating, and her heartbeat was even tighter, "poof, poof", as if it was about to pop out of her chest.
One of them was carrying an oil lamp and the other was carrying a sword. Perhaps they thought it was a very easy thing to deal with an injured teenager. Perhaps human life is like a mustard in their eyes, and it is not worth mentioning at all. Maybe they didn't think about anything at all. In short, they were extremely relaxed, and there was no indication that they were ready to take people's lives.
One of them took out the key and opened the lock on the fence, and the two of them went into the cave together and looked around. The man in Tsing Yi said "Huh" and said, "Why is that stinky boy gone?"
"The lock is not loose, how can it not be seen, it must be afraid of squeezing into the crowd!" The man in gray raised the oil lamp in his hand a little, wanting to make the light brighter, so that he could find the person.
Suddenly, he felt a darkness above his head, and a black shadow fell from the sky like a huge bat, fangs and claws, and smashed towards the man in Tsing Yi who was carrying the sword.
The man in Tsing Yi originally stared at the fierce eyes, and wholeheartedly looked for Zhang Yuanyang in the crowd. Before the sword in his hand could be unsheathed, he felt something fall on his head, and he subconsciously took a step back. It's a pity that Zhang Yuanyang came very quickly. The man in Tsing Yi only had time to take a step back, when he felt that it was dark in front of him, and he smashed his feet into the sky.
Zhang Yuanyang was like a big horse monkey, hugging the head of the man in Tsing Yi tightly and falling down together. This time, he himself fell not lightly, and he couldn't slow down for a long time.
