518.Chapter 518: The Plan Is Spotted
After leaving for half a day before coming back, Luo Xu guessed that Yin Xiaoqian must be very worried about him, so the first thing he did after coming back was to go upstairs to see Yin Xiaoqian.
"Why did it take so long for you to come back?" Yin Xiaoqian asked.
Luo Xu said: "I couldn't find the medicinal materials I needed for a long time, and I walked a lot of mountain roads, and I finally found them." β
Yin Xiaoqian said: "My fever has subsided, do we have a chance to leave here tonight?"
"I think I'm leaving tonight. Luo Xu said: "I'll go down to boil the medicine now, and it will take about three hours to boil the medicine." All you have to do now is eat and drink well, recharge your batteries, and be ready to get out of here. β
"Uh-huh. Yin Xiaoqian nodded again and again, looking excited, and finally wanted to leave this place she hated so much, leaving the old man who disgusted her from head to toe.
Luo Xu went downstairs and entered the kitchen, first filling his stomach, and then sending some food upstairs to Yin Xiaoqian.
Back downstairs, he began to boil the medicinal soup. When he heard movement outside the courtyard, he went out to look, and saw a group of soldiers digging outside the door.
"What are they doing?" Luo Xu asked.
The soldier said, "Mr. Luo, they are laying mines. β
"Laying mines?" Luo Xu was very puzzled, "Why did you plant mines?"
The soldier said, "It's the commander's order, saying it's to protect you and your wife." β
Luo Xu observed that the villa was surrounded by mines, and no one could get out.
"So what are we going to do when we get out?"
The soldier said, "We don't need to go out, the commander will send someone to bring supplies every day." β
Luo Xu understood, Wu Kun, the old guy, was still not at ease with him, and planted mines around the villa, obviously afraid that he would escape.
"Damn, this old guy is not at ease when he sends so many people to stare at me!" Luo Xu cursed in his heart, thinking that this is trouble, the four sides of the villa are buried in a ten-meter-wide field, and it will be difficult to get out.
Anyway, first boil the soup and make this group of people stunned before talking, it's a big deal to detonate the minefield, and then escape. However, in this way, the fire and sound of the explosion will be discovered by the military camps inside and outside the city, and Wu Kun will definitely send someone to check the situation immediately, and it is likely that he will be caught up by Wu Kun's pursuers before he runs far.
Back in the kitchen, Luo Xu continued to boil his medicinal soup. The soldier who could speak Chinese followed in and asked, "Mr. Luo, are these medicinal soups really effective?"
"Of course!" Luo Xu said unhappily, "You kid is doubting my ability?"
The soldier smiled, "I'm curious why didn't you bring up the medicinal soup when you were in the barracks, if everyone can be immune by drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, there is no need to sprinkle lime powder, do you say?"
"Not good!" Luo Xu was secretly frightened, and this kid began to doubt him.
Luo Xu was calm on the surface, and said with a smile: "Your reasoning is fine, but don't forget how I got here, am I willing?" But in the past few days, I have found that the commander is still good to me, and when someone sends supplies tomorrow, I will ask him to bring back the recipe for boiling medicinal soup." β
There was no one else in the kitchen, just the two of them. Beside Luo Xu, there was a sharp knife, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could grab it, and if necessary, he would kill this kid first.
The soldier smiled: "I don't believe what you said at all, Mr. Luo, there are many loopholes!"
Luo Xu said coldly: "Believe it or not." I don't care!"
The soldier laughed, "Then what if I tell Commander SΓΉ what I think? You may not know our commander's temper, and once he knows that you are planning to escape, he will not hesitate to kill you." β
"Really?" Luo Xu stared at the sharp knife within the range of his arm, and he had already moved to kill, "Then why don't you go and sue Commander SΓΉ? Maybe the Commander will reward and promote you for your meritorious reporting." β
The soldier did not answer Luo Xu's question, and said, "The herbs you took us to collect in the afternoon have no effect on curing the plague at all, and these herbs you collected are combined, and people will faint within a quarter of an hour after drinking them." If the dose is heavy, it can be fatal. Judging by the amount you've collected, though, you didn't have the intention of killing us, it was just to make us faint and then you escape. β
The people he has always been wary of are Wu Kun and Du Mang, the father and son, but he didn't expect the biggest danger to come from his side, this soldier who is not amazingly docile as a sheep is actually lurking so deeply.
"It looks like we have to kill him, and if the news leaks, I'll be the one who dies!"
Luo Xu didn't hesitate too much, quickly grabbed the sharp knife, turned around and cut the soldier's throat.
"Don't move!"
Every step he took seemed to have been counted by the soldier, and when he turned around, the soldier's pistol was already aimed at his head.
"Do you want to be faster than your knife or faster than my bullet?"
Luo Xu knew that he had no chance, threw the knife away, and asked, "What do you want?"
The soldier looked around out of the corner of his eye and whispered, "I want to leave, let's cooperate, how about leaving together?"
"Is this your real purpose?" Luo Xu didn't dare to trust him.
The soldier said, "I think you must be curious to know why I understand herbal medicine, and why I speak Chinese so well." Mr. Luo, in fact, like you, I am also Chinese. My hometown is on the border between China and Myanmar, and my master is a Chinese medicine practitioner who often takes me to Myanmar to collect medicines.
Once we were caught by Wu Kun's troops, and my master was shot directly because he was too old. Because I was in and out of Burma, I was also very proficient in Burmese, so I was able to save my life, but I had to be arrested into the barracks and live a life that was inferior to that of a pig and a dog. β
"How can I believe that what you said is true?" Luo Xu has already begun to believe in this kid a little, if he wanted to tell the truth, he could have gone to the whistleblower a long time ago, there is no need to talk to him about this.
The soldier said, "My surname is Lei, and my name is 'Thundercloud'." This is my ID card, I have been hiding it very well and they did not find it. β
Lei Yun took out an ID card from the mezzanine of his clothes and handed it to Luo Xu. Luo Xu looked at the ID card, it was indeed true, it seemed that this kid was not lying.
"When did you start finding out that I was going to escape?" Luo Xu asked.
Lei Yun said: "Since you went up the mountain to collect medicines, my medical skills are not good, and I have only followed the master for more than a year, and I can only identify herbs. I know that several of the drugs you took are used for anesthesia, and combined with what you've done before, it's not hard to guess that you're going to run away. β
"You didn't sue anyone else, did you?" Luo Xu asked.
