If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that there are such old alleys in the urban-rural area of a big southern city. It is said that it is ancient, not because of the antiquity of the buildings, but because the infrastructure in the alleys is imperfect to the point that it is unbearable, not only that the running water has not yet spread to a single household, but also that most of the entire alleys, even the street lights, are not lit, not to mention the cameras that have gradually begun to be perfected in some big cities.

If you were to walk alone in such an alley at nightfall, the pitch-black background and the sound of footsteps that were several times more magnified than usual would be enough to make a less courageous person feel a desperate collapse.

But even such alleys are in short supply for some outsiders who are not too well-off, and some rental houses even have three or four people crammed into one room.

They have no choice, but as long as they are financially well-off, no one will choose to rent a house in such a ghost place.

It's midnight, and there are not many cars on the streets outside the alley, and pedestrians have become a rarity. There was originally a street lamp at the entrance of the alley, but it has been broken for more than a month and has not been repaired. When walking through this alley, it doesn't look too scary because there are some street lamps on the street, but once you step into this alley, out of the range of street lamps, the whole person suddenly disappears into the darkness, as if swallowed by a giant beast with a big mouth open.

Although she was scared, Cui Xue still walked in without hesitation, but the moment she stepped into the alley, she hugged her chest subconsciously and sped up her pace.

There was no way she couldn't stop going this way, because the house she rented was in the alley, and she wanted to go home and sleep. That's the only way to go.

Yiqiē was no different from usual, and before he entered the alley and walked ten meters away, Cui Xue's whole person was already engulfed in darkness, except for the faint sound of the wind, only the sound of his own footsteps remained.

But she doesn't walk forward in the dark all the time, at least she still has something called a mobile phone in her bag.

Today's mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. Not only can the whole song be set as a ringtone, but some copycat machines have integrated many practical functions in order to win customers, such as flashlights. It's just a small light bulb, and once the flashlight is turned on, the light that the light found by the light bulb is enough for a person to see the road in front of him.

After taking out the phone and turning on the flashlight, Cui Xue's heartbeat slowed down a little and she took a deep breath. Intentionally or unintentionally, he took out a box of women's cigarettes from his satchel, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.

Yes, she smokes. If in this society, it is not surprising that women smoke, if you go to some entertainment venues, you will find that nine out of ten women in it are smokers, and the other is not a smoker. Drinking is also certainly very powerful.

Cuixue didn't smoke before, but she learned it since she came here to work. As soon as she came into contact with it, she fell in love with the feeling of smoking, which was a beautiful feeling that made people feel completely depraved from the bottom of their hearts. She wasn't too old, only twenty-seven, but in the industry she was in, twenty-seven was already old.

About her identity. Mr. Gu Long once had a classic description - although their profession is not too noble, but it has a long history. The current title is "Miss". At present, Cui Xue is a young lady in a KTV in the city, and she is the kind with her hand in front when the guests choose their little sister. When the guest is choosing a little sister. The position of the young lady's hand is very particular, and the meaning of placing it in front of her body and behind her is definitely different, and only those who are in the know know what it is.

There is no light in this industry, and no one will come and go to that kind of place in the middle of the day, and sometimes the night is indeed the best fig leaf, at least for blatant indulgence. Therefore, Cuixue gets off work very late every day, and she can only cross the alley of more than 100 meters at midnight every day and return to the deep nest of the alley to rest.

There are a total of three people who rent with her, and these three people are all different night ladies, except for the youngest, who looks the most innocent, it is said that because of the difficulties at home, so she had to take a year off from school, and came out to earn tuition, except for the little sister who came out to earn tuition, everyone else was the same as Cui Xue, and when she appeared, her hands were in front. There are several people who have fallen into the world, but there is no common language.

It's just that this common language makes Cuixue sick when she thinks about it, and her stomach twitches for a while.

The ladies are very thin, and after a few puffs, most of them go down. Cui Xue flicked her middle finger of the cigarette, and the cigarette that she had half inhaled flew out in a beautiful arc, and then Cui Xue's footsteps echoed in the alley again.

She wants to go home, although the common language disgusts her, but at least a few people who have fallen to the end of the world together can also make her heart feel a little more at ease.

She has walked this road hundreds of times, and she is very familiar with it, even if she closes her eyes, she will not touch the wrong door, so after smoking half a cigarette, Cuixue's mental state has recovered a lot. But she didn't know that behind a garbage bin deep in the alley, two people in black clothes, who had also fallen to the end of the world, were staring at her intently with wolf-like eyes.

Meng Qinglong squatted behind Cheng Zhichao, looked at the cigarette butt that was thrown away by Cuixue, and licked his lips: "Is this okay?" ”

Cheng Zhichao nodded: "This is okay, depending on the dress, it should be a night lady who has just gotten off work." Such people usually have cash on them, and their income is not much worse than that of white-collar workers. ”

Meng Qinglong admitted that what Cheng Zhichao said was the truth, and before he was in trouble, he often went to the night club to play, and every time he gave a thick tip. If those ladies could have come out, the tip would have been higher. If you want to rob, this kind of person is undoubtedly the best target.

He never dreamed that he would finally embark on the road of robbery with Cheng Zhichao. That day they hid in the forest in fear until after dark, and then they took advantage of the night to get out of the woods, and they did not know how long they walked until they saw a small village. Cheng Zhichao asked him to wait for him outside the village, and he entered the village alone.

Meng Qinglong wanted to go with him, but he knew that he couldn't do it. If you insist on going with Cheng Zhichao, in case someone finds out, Cheng Zhichao will be distracted to take care of him, and I am afraid that both of them will be in danger at that time. had to tell Cheng Zhichao to be more careful, and he hid in the ditch on the side of the road.

I don't know how Cheng Zhichao did it, anyway, he went in for an hour or two. Not only did it not alarm the people in the village, but not even the dog barked. If Meng Qinglong hadn't seen Cheng Zhichao enter the village with his own eyes, there would definitely be no mistake, and he would even wonder if there were outsiders in this village.

Of course, he didn't know that Cheng Zhichao had been practicing the subject of silently infiltrating a secret location for three or four months. And it was the training that started immediately after stealing pigs from the village of Guiyanmei. The special forces did the work behind enemy lines, and as a result, they went to a small village defended by the militia to steal pigs and make people lose their armor, and everyone felt that their faces were disgraceful. So I really put a lot of effort into this subject.

Cheng Zhichao's harvest is that after a few months of hard training, even if Gui Yanmei and they are prepared, they are absolutely sure that they will sneak into their village and steal two pigs without making a sound. It's just that after the kung fu was practiced, the leaders only did a confrontation drill to test it out of various considerations, and did not arrange for them to go to Gui Yanmei to find the field again. Therefore, the kung fu that Cheng Zhichao has learned has never been applied in actual combat. Today is the first time it has come in handy.

The militia of their village is one of the best in the entire region, and Cheng Zhichao has trained Cheng Dù to go to them and steal things without being discovered by them. Naturally, it is not a problem to deal with a small village that is completely unfortified. If it weren't for the fact that the lockpicking tool was really hard to find, it would have taken him most of the time just to find those things, and I was afraid that it would not take him half an hour to steal a few pieces of clothing and sneak back.

But that's it, it only took him less than two hours to come back, after Meng Qinglong heard the code he sent. Hurriedly got out of the ditch, and said with an earthy face: "Why did you come back now, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back." ”

Cheng Zhichao glanced at him: "It's easy to steal clothes, but it's hard to find tools, and no one puts tools outside." If you don't enter the house, how can you find it? ”

Meng Qinglong was taken aback: "What? You're in the house? ”

"Well, the first two didn't find anything, and the third one did."

Meng Qinglong gasped: "My good boy, brother, I am really impressed with you." If people are sleeping in the house, you dare to go inside their house and rummage through things, and if they find out, you will die. ”

"Since I dare to enter the house, of course I am sure that they will not find out." Cheng Zhichao said, took out some files, saw blades and other tools from a pocket he carried, as well as more than two dozen keys of different sizes, lowered his head and fiddled with his feet.

Meng Qinglong didn't know anything about unlocking, so he had to squat next to him and watch him tinker. I saw Cheng Zhichao put his ear on the lock of the shackles, tried to insert the keys into the keyhole one by one, and listened carefully to the sound of the keyhole. Finally, he chose a key, closed his eyes and muttered for a while, then took the file and began to file the key.

After filing a few times, I inserted the key into the keyhole and tried it a few times, and then took it out with a frown and started filing again. After repeating this several times, finally the lock hair made a soft "click" sound, and it opened in response.

Meng Qinglong was amazed and said happily: "It's done." I said, Brother Liu, you are very powerful, if I didn't know your details, I would have thought that you used to be a thief. ”

"I've never been a full-time thief before, but it's pretty much the same. Mom and Dad died early, and my grandparents were getting older, so in order to survive, I had to learn something about it. Later, when I became a soldier, I threw this thing away. I haven't fiddled with it for a few years, and my hand is a little raw, and it took so much effort to open it, which is a bit embarrassing. Cheng Zhichao said a few words modestly, but his tone was extremely proud.

The technology of unlocking is actually very easy to master, and the key is to get started. The special brigade has special personnel in lockpicking who are responsible for teaching Cheng Zhichao and others the unlocking skills, but they don't learn very well, so Cheng Zhichao only took half a day to open the lock. But that's it, in Meng Qinglong's eyes, Cheng Zhichao is already a fairy-like figure.

After removing the torture instruments from the two people, Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong did not dare to slack off, and dug a pit to bury the metal in tatters. After Young Master Cheng entered the village, he not only stole tools and clothes. Also stole some money and food. Money is used on the road in the future, and food is to solve the problems of the moment. The two of them hadn't eaten for a day, and they were already hungry, so they ate two steamed buns with cold water, and they didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and Meng Qinglong led the way. Reach in the direction of his house.

Meng Qinglong's home is about seventy or eighty kilometers away from here, and Cheng Zhichao doesn't understand why a rich man like Meng Qinglong doesn't want to buy a house in a big city, but instead settles down in a small remote county. So much so that now the two of them have to trek dozens of kilometers if they want to go back.

If you forcibly march, seventy or eighty kilometers, one day and one night will be enough, but with a Meng Qinglong. Cheng Zhichao can't go too fast. The most important thing is that Shi Deping has set up a large number of checkpoints at major intersections to strictly check passing vehicles, and the closer he gets to Meng Qinglong's home, the more checkpoints there are. In the end, not only were there cards on the main roads, but even some country roads were patrolled. Several times, if it weren't for Cheng Zhichao's alertness. Sensing the danger in time, he pulled Meng Qinglong to hide. The two of them were almost captured alive.

But that's it, Meng Qinglong still insisted on going home to take a look, but his face became more and more ugly. Cheng Zhichao sighed and had no choice but to follow him on the adventure.

When it was less than two kilometers away from Meng Qinglong's home, he really couldn't go any further, so Cheng Zhichao found a safer place. Let Meng Qinglong hide first, and sneak forward to check the situation alone. The results were not encouraging, and along the way, he saw at least six checkpoints, each guarded by a patrol car and several police officers. At two important intersections. In addition to the police, there are also armed police on the side. Although they didn't see any suspicious people, all of them looked like they were facing the enemy.

"Fuck, as for it, this really doesn't give us a way to live, so we have to be smuggled out of the country. How much does it cost, and is the taxpayers' money for nothing? ”

Cheng Zhichao was extremely depressed, so he had to turn back, tell Meng Qinglong about the situation, and finally pointed out two ways for him to choose. One is to move on, but Cheng Zhichao withdrew, and if he wanted to go, Meng Qinglong would go alone. The other is to go back immediately and find a way to get some money to escape. In the current situation, I am afraid that the country will not be able to tolerate them, and the police dare to put on such a big posture to deal with them, which is enough to show that the Ministry of Public Security must have been alarmed, and the two of them have been hung up by the Ministry of Public Security.

Meng Qinglong reluctantly glanced in the direction of his home, gritted his teeth and agreed to Cheng Zhichao's suggestion, returned the same way, and got money to go abroad.

Cheng Zhichao breathed a sigh of relief, held his hand and praised: "That's right, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." It's important for the two of us to save our lives now, as long as our lives are saved, are we afraid that we won't have a chance to come back in the future? I believe that in a few years, the police will not take the two of us to heart anymore, and when the time comes, I will sneak back with you and pick up my sister-in-law. ”

Meng Qinglong smiled bitterly: "I hope so." ”

The two of them said they would go, they didn't dare to stay at all, and cautiously touched back along the same road. Along the way, day and night, only dare to rush and rest in the wilderness where no one is around. Cheng Zhichao's identity as a young master in the provincial capital, he has been delicate and expensive since he was a child, even when he was training in the special brigade, he never suffered this kind of hardship, and the injury on his arm has not been properly treated, and it has become inflamed and suppurated, which is really miserable.

Meng Qinglong had no hope of going home, so he took his heart and began to work wholeheartedly for the two of them to smuggle out of the country. At the same time, Cheng Zhichao gradually got some solid ground out of him. According to Meng Qinglong, every time Wang Ruiguo returns to China, although he is only living in the place he arranged, he is not the only one available in China. He is only responsible for providing Wang Ruiguo with a place to live, and once Wang Ruiguo's whereabouts are leaked, he still has a secret channel to escape from the country as quickly as possible.

This secret channel, even Meng Qinglong doesn't know much about it, but it is certain that if Meng Qinglong reaches a critical juncture, he can use this secret channel to escape, which Wang Ruiguo personally told him.

Cheng Zhichao was very curious, since Meng Qinglong didn't know much about this channel, how could he use this secret channel when it was really at a critical juncture?

In this regard, Meng Qinglong's explanation was that he just didn't know all the members of the entire channel and how it worked, but some peripheral members could still be contacted. As long as a peripheral member is found, then this peripheral member can quickly report his situation to the above, and Wang Ruiguo will arrange for him to leave as soon as possible. And now that the news that he has escaped from prison should have reached Wang Ruiguo's ears, maybe Wang Ruiguo is also looking for him everywhere now. As soon as he appears, he will definitely be properly placed immediately.

Speaking of this, Meng Qinglong suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and after a pause, he said to Cheng Zhichao that this secret channel is not owned by Wang Ruiguo, so even if Wang Ruiguo wants to use it, he has to pay a sum of money. That's why he has to go home, and only when he goes home can he get the money, otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to get out.

Only then did Cheng Zhichao know that Meng Qinglong had to go home to see, not because he loved his family, but because he couldn't get money if he didn't go home, and he couldn't go out if he couldn't get money.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, didn't I say it, there is no money, we can steal it, we can rob it." Cheng Zhichao was completely defeated by this brain.

"I didn't expect them to seal the road so tightly." Meng Qinglong said helplessly: "Now, if our brothers want to go out, they can only grab money." (To be continued......)
