Chapter 215: Killing People and Killing Mouths
Wen Jing and Qingshuang were taken to the backyard, which was pitch black and there was no light at all.
With the faint moonlight, Wen Jing looked around, as she expected, this is an abandoned courtyard, no one lives at all, that Gao Chengxi is not the owner of this village at all, he is so concerned about Zhao Shenghua's case, he must be inseparable from that case, it is very likely to be the murderer, but this case was originally tried by Dali Temple, even if she was killed, Ji Changge would still continue to investigate this case, which Wen Jing really couldn't figure out.
"Hurry up, you don't have to die?" The masked man beside him urged.
Wen Jing took out a few silver tickets from his body and said to a few people: "A few big brothers, can you give me a lantern?" ”
Several masked people were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that Wen Jing just asked her for a lantern, they agreed, and one of them took a silver ticket, and one of them handed the lantern in his hand to Wen Jing.
Wen Jing took the lantern, took the lantern and shone at the well, and found that it was an abandoned dry well, which could accommodate five or six people, and there was a big stone next to the well.
"Go down by yourself, don't bother." A masked man said impatiently.
"Okay, let's go down now."
Wen Jing straightened up, suddenly took off the lantern cover, and then sprinkled a bag of powder in his other hand at the masked man, and at the same time the candle flame in the other hand was also thrown away, and turned around and pulled Qingshuang into the well.
As soon as he jumped into the well, Wen Jing heard a violent explosion in the sky, listening to the screams from above, and the smell of "barbecue". A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
The bottom of the well was silt, the two were not injured, Qingshuang looked up at the fire at the mouth of the well in shock, Fang Cai's shock was just a fleeting thing, she didn't have time to see Wen Jing's movements clearly.
Attracted by the sound of the explosion, Gao Chengxi looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless in surprise, several masked people were rolling on the ground with fire all over their bodies, and the masks that were still burning were thrown on the ground, and several people covered their eyes in pain.
"What about them?" Gao Chengxi picked up one of the men whose fire had been extinguished, and asked coldly.
"In the well."
Elevation West walked to the mouth of the well. Sure enough, Wen Jing and Qingshuang were sitting at the bottom of the well.
"Hahaha!"
Gao Chengxi suddenly burst out laughing. Laughing and saying, "You think you'll be able to escape this way?" ”
Wen Jing stood up and said with a smile: "Does Master Gao feel an itch on his hands?" ”
Gao Chengxi's complexion changed, his hands moved slightly, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Don't come to this set." You think that's what you say. I'm going to let you go? You're thinking too much. ”
"You press your Baihui acupoint. Does it hurt? Wen Jing continued to laugh.
Gao Chengxi subconsciously pressed it, and suddenly felt a tingling pain, remembering the silver ticket that Wen Jing gave him just now. It must have been poisoned, he was still wondering, why did Wen Qiniang joke with his life, it turned out that the silver ticket was just a role to carry poison, and then look at his most important subordinates, but at the moment they were all on fire, rolling all over the ground, he underestimated this little lady.
"The antidote is not on me, killing me will not be of any benefit to the owner of Gao Zhuang, since I promised you not to ask again, I will not interfere in this case again, this case originally belonged to Dali Temple, why should I lose my life for a case." Wen Jing said loudly.
Gao Chengxi stared at Wen Jing coldly, his eyes were like a poisonous snake, for a long time, but he turned around and left without saying a word.
Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, this Gao Chengxi's patience is not too good, through the mask, Wen Jing can feel his raging anger, and it is not impossible to kill the two directly in a fit of anger.
"Lady, what should we do now?" Qingshuang said in a low voice, and the bottom of the well was pitch black.
"Don't panic." Wen Jing looked at the mouth of the well, this well is about seven meters deep, and he can't climb up without ropes and martial arts.
"Lady, will he kill us?" Qingshuang shuddered.
Wen Jing touched the wall of the well and said: "Not for the time being, he is considering the truth of my words, if he is sure that he is not poisoned, he will be a killer a long time ago." ”
"He'll find out tomorrow that he's not poisoned at all, and he'll kill us, it's so deep that he can't climb up it." Qingshuang hung her head and said dejectedly, this feeling of waiting for death was very difficult every minute and second.
Wen Jing smiled slightly: "How do you know that he is not poisoned?" ”
Qingshuang was stunned: "Lady, when did you poison you?" ”
"On that silver ticket, the poison will itch and fester, and after two days it will gradually disappear, and it will ignite when it meets fire, and this is the powder I sprinkled." Wen Jing looked up at Jingkou Dao.
"Lady, do you have an antidote?" Qingshuang suddenly remembered this important question.
Wen Jing shook his head: "No." ”
"What then? If that monster had been poisoned in two days, it would have killed us. Qingshuang said uneasily.
"So we have to get out as much as possible, it's too dangerous here, whether there is an antidote or not, he will eventually kill us, the poison will soon set in, he will come to me to ask for the antidote." Wen Jing simply sat down.
Adapting to the darkness, Qingshuang could already vaguely see the surroundings, and when she saw Wen Jing sitting on the ground, she hurriedly said, "Lady, aren't you a fourth-grade official?" Anyone would dare to kill you? You can't sit here and wait to die, or let the slave and maid stay, and when you go back, you can call someone to save the slave and maid." ”
Wen Jing said lightly: "It's too late, tell him the conditions again, maybe he will kill us in the next second, these people have no humanity at all." ”
"Are we going to die here? If only Master Ji could find those strips of cloth. Qingshuang sighed.
Wen Jing thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, took out the scalpel from his sleeve, and gently began to dig on the wall, which was covered with slippery mud and moss, fortunately the scalpel was sharp enough, but it was too small, and only a little bit could be dug up each time.
"Lady, you're not planning to use this knife to dig a tunnel, are you?"
Qingshuang looked at the delicate and impractical scalpel in Wen Jing's hand, and used this thing to dig a tunnel, I'm afraid it won't take a month or half a month.
Wen Jing glanced at her: "I've been with me for so long, but I still haven't grown." ”
Although she knew that Wen Jing couldn't come up with that kind of stupid method, Qingshuang couldn't figure out how to dig a hole in the wall, what other way could she have besides climbing the tunnel to get out?
Wen Jing dug a groove in the wall, tried to put his foot in, not deep enough, dug in a little more, put his foot in again and tried to make sure that it would not collapse, and continued to dig a groove in the wall.
After a while, looking at the staggered grooves on the wall, Qingshuang still didn't understand what the meaning of this was.
With one foot in one groove and one hand on the top one, Wen Jing continued to chisel through one groove after another in the wall.
Seeing Wen Jing climbing on the wall of the well, already a body taller than herself, Qingshuang's eyes finally showed a smile, the lady is so smart!
In fact, this is using the principle of rock climbing, and in the blink of an eye, Wen Jing has dug a passage to the wellhead.
beckoned to Qingshuang at the bottom of the well, Wen Jing gently threw a little mud out, there was no movement outside the well, it seemed that the group of people was sure that it was impossible for the two of them to climb out, so they did not send someone to guard it.
Wen Jing climbed out cautiously, and then pulled Qingshuang up, and the two tiptoed towards the corner of the wall, bringing a few stones to build on the corner, and Wen Jing climbed up the wall.
Qingshuang had just climbed the wall, and the stone suddenly rolled to the side, Wen Jing grabbed her, and the stone hit with a loud sound, which was particularly frightening in the silent night.
"Lady, let's go!" Qingshuang shouted in a low voice.
Wen Jing thought for a moment, pushed Qingshuang out, then picked up the mask on the ground that had not yet burned out, picked it up and threw it into the firewood room on the side, the flames burned quickly, and the fire reflected Wen Jing's pale face.
Qingshuang waited anxiously aside, nervously about to fly out, and after Wen Jing climbed out, the two of them hurriedly ran away by the moonlight.
The firelight reflected the fanged beast on the mask, and Gao Chengxi gritted his teeth and said, "Chase, kill!" ”
"Yes!"
The night wind whistled in his ears, and Wen Jing and Qingshuang bumped everywhere on the mountain path, and the sound of horses' hooves behind them was getting closer and closer.
Wen Jing was tired and cold, but she couldn't stop at this time, she didn't want to die yet, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, she couldn't give up.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow whizzed past his ears.
Wen Jing was shocked, and suddenly there was a sound of water flowing in front of him, and he hurriedly said to Qingshuang: "There is a river in front, let's jump into it, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”
Qingshuang hesitated a little: "Will it freeze to death on such a cold day, and the slave and maid will not drink water." ”
"That's good to be killed by an arrow!" Wen Jing panted and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.
An arrow passed through Wen Jing's arm, and blood flowed down his arm, which hurt his heart.
Wen Jing pulled Qingshuang and jumped into the icy river.
The cold river water penetrated into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and the two of them almost suffocated, Wen Jing was originally a southerner, and she was familiar with water since she was a child, if it wasn't for an arrow in her arm, she would have no problem swimming with Qingshuang.
And Qingshuang is a landlubber at all, and he began to roll his eyes from the time he entered the water, and hugged Wen Jing tightly with both hands.
Breaking away Qingshuang's hand around her neck, Wen Jing felt better, she was not drowned but almost strangled to death, her legs swayed quickly in the water, and there were still arrows falling on the water, but the resistance of the water weakened the arrows.
The group of people stood on the shore for a long time, ready to fly, just waiting for Wen Jing to come out of breath, but after waiting for a long time, the water was still quiet.
"Let's go, she's already seriously injured, and she won't survive overnight in such cold water."
"Yes, let's go back and make a difference."
Wen Jing vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she felt a pain in her back, it should have been the arrow that fell on her back, fortunately it was not very deep, otherwise she would have died.
Surfacing the surface and gasping for breath, Wen Jing felt that his body had been overdrawn to the limit, but he finally picked up a life. (To be continued......)
