There is a creek in the valley, and there is a relatively open place next to the stream, and there is not only a campfire on the bushy ground, but even a simple little tent that is often used by wild travelers.

Sitting around the bonfire were Sakurako Kawashima and six young men, while Nguyen Gi Chang sat next to a tent a little further away from the campfire, but no more than two meters away, talking to Sakurako Kawashima, who had her back to the campfire.

From this, it can be seen that the tent should be Nguyen Gi Chang's. In other words, Ruan Jichang, who was determined that Kawashima Sakurako would pass by here, had already come alone and waited for Kawashima Sakurako's arrival in the way of "waiting for the rabbit".

"Miss Sakurako said she didn't find any treasures?" Ruan Jichang's tone had a clear hint of disbelief.

"That's exactly what happened. Sakurako Kawashima casually pointed at the other six young people and said, "If you don't believe me, Yoshimasa-kun can ask them." ”

It stands to reason that Ruan Ji Chang, who was waiting here and intercepted Kawashima Sakurako and his party, should be able to tell from the seven people at a glance whether they had found treasure or not. If they did find the treasure, how could they return empty-handed? Even if Sakurako Kawashima's purpose was not on the treasure left by the French, there was no possibility that she would find the treasure and abandon it. In Wu Ming's mind, people who see money and are not moved cannot exist in this world.

"Sakurako-sama doesn't plan to sneak back after a while, is she?"

How could Kawashima Sakurako not be able to hear the meaning of Ruan Jichang's words, so he chuckled when he heard the words and said, "Giggles, Jichang-kun is too suspicious." You must know that the task of my trip is only for Wu Ming, and I am not interested in anything else. Not to mention that we didn't see any treasures, even if we did, we wouldn't take any of them, but would immediately inform Ji Chang-kun as we had agreed in advance. ”

"I hope so, I hope Sakurako is telling the truth. Otherwise, there is no regret medicine in this world. ”

When the conversation between the two was heard in Wu Ming's ears, it was inevitable that he would feel strange in his heart. In the face of the seven people of Kawashima Sakurako, where did Ruan Jichang, who was alone, come from so much confidence? It seems that he didn't take Kawashima Sakurako and the six young people seriously at all.

Immediately, the next sentence of Sakurako Kawashima solved the doubts in Wu Ming's heart.

"Even if Yoshima-kun doesn't believe in Sakurako, he should always believe them, right? They are all brothers who have followed Yoshichang-kun from birth to death for many years. ”

The six young people who obeyed Kawashima Sakurako's attack last night turned out to be Ruan Ji Chang's people, so naturally they were the remnants of the biker party. In this case, what else does Nguyen Ji Chang have to doubt? Is it really as Sakurako Kawashima said, Nguyen Ji Chang has always been a "suspicious person"?

"Well, let's not talk about that. Ruan Ji Chang looked up at the clear blue sky where the sun had risen, and then stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Sakurako Kawashima. Under Kawashima Sakurako's slightly hesitant and cowardly expression, the two of them got into the small tent behind Ruan Jichang.

At this time, the six young people sitting around the campfire, whose clothes had been dried, also got up one after another, and each team of two, each looking for a place in a small tent away from the stream and taking up the task of guarding.

"What a dog man and a woman. ”

Since it was morning, and despite the unbearable hunger in the belly, the human instinct was not affected. Wu Ming, who was provoked by the scene being staged in the imaginary small tent, cursed in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and quietly touched the two young people closest to him with the help of the cover of dense vegetation.

Seeing that there was only less than ten meters left between the two sides, Wu Ming was not completely sure that he would not alarm the other two groups when attacking the two in front of him. You know, they all have weapons on them. There are not only pistols but also grenades, and if they are beckoned to themselves, this is not the deep pit that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Wu Ming, who stopped getting closer, thought about it again and again, and finally did not choose to make a rash move. After careful observation, it was found that Nguyen Ji Chang's six men were all paying attention to the side of the tent facing the mountain forest, but no one paid attention to the situation on the other side of the creek behind the tent. So, Wu Ming did not advance but retreated, made a big circle, and finally reached the dense forest on the other side of the creek with the help of the cover of bushes far enough upstream.

As I approached the creek a little bit, closer to the small translucent tent, the sound of lewd mistress coming from inside became clearer and clearer. This made Wu Ming's heartbeat, who was still a child, involuntarily speed up a lot.

He has never been superstitious, but suddenly remembered what he said when he broke up with Zhao Zhengqi on the bank of the Mekong River, about "I haven't tasted what it's like to be a woman", Wu Ming couldn't help but think: It won't be his own prophecy, God deliberately arranged such a scene to make himself greedy, right?

Shaking his head vigorously, after making sure that the three groups of six young people were all absentmindedly lying in the grass basking in the sun, Wu Ming, who had already touched the bank of the creek and was less than three meters away from the tent, finally made a move.

Since he didn't have anything to take advantage of on him, he simply grabbed a fist-sized stone from the lurking stream, and after checking it in his hand, he threw it at the left side of the head of Ruan Jichang's vague figure, who was half-kneeling and half-sitting in the small tent, and kept swaying back and forth slightly.

Almost at the same time, Wu Ming's whole person also moved. First from the ground cat's waist, stride forward, in order not to make too much noise, just the tip of the right foot in the shallow stream with a little force, has already fit into the small translucent tent.

Although he is usually not bad, Ruan Jichang, who is at a critical juncture, never thought that someone would attack him at this time. So, with a "bang", Ruan Jichang, who was hit by a suddenly flying fist-sized stone on his temple, only let out a muffled snort, and then collapsed softly and fell to Kawashima Sakurako, who was about to climb to the top, closed his eyes tightly, and moaned continuously, and became longer and longer.

Sakurako Kawashima, who mistakenly thought that Ruan Jichang was also at the last moment, still did not open her eyes, but stretched out her arms to hold Ruan Jichang's fallen body tightly in her arms. As he uttered a long chant, he exerted his waist and abdomen, trying to lift his body to meet the other person, so as to reach that wonderful situation at the same time.

It wasn't until Wu Ming suddenly pounced on the tent and pulled out a big hole in his hand, grabbing Kawashima Sakurako's sweaty, slender and white neck, and it wasn't until the blood from Ruan Jichang's head dripped onto the plump chest that Kawashima Sakurako was finally awakened from the edge of the peak.

However, Ruan Jichang, who was tightly pinched by Wu Ming's big hand and weighed one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds and was unconscious, let alone resisting, wanted to exclaim to remind the six young people who were in charge of guarding in the distance couldn't do it.

Sakurako Kawashima, who had already recognized Wu Ming, could only open her eyes wide, revealing a look of pleading.

Wu Ming didn't have time to pay attention to Kawashima Sakurako's eyes, and tried his best to curl up and hide in the small tent, almost half of his body was also lying on Ruan Jichang's back. The purpose, of course, was not to attract the attention of the six young men in the distance.

Although he now has Ruan Jichang in his hand that can be used as a hostage, he can use it to block the bullets fired by the other party in a critical moment. But Wu Ming is a very thoughtful guy. As the saying goes, "the white wine red face is golden", and after knowing that the deep pit found in the town of Jigongmao, that is, at night, may be the burial place where the French left a treasure, it is impossible for the six young people not to secretly feel confident.

If they rashly use the unconscious Ruan Ji Chang as a shield, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to attack them under the pretext that Ruan Ji Chang is dead.

As for Sakurako Kawashima, those six people can't be interested, so naturally they won't have too many scruples about her life or death. At most, it's just like Ruan Jichang, who uses it to vent fire when it's convenient. The point is that Wu Ming still has very important things to interrogate, and she must not be allowed to die before revealing the truth about why she came to Vietnam, so Sakurako Kawashima is not even qualified as a human shield.

Fortunately, Wu Ming's movements just now were fast and careful enough, and did not attract the attention of the six people in the distance. However, another problem is in front of you - how to take Sakurako Kawashima and quietly retreat without alarming the six people?
