Chapter 58 The two are trapped in the basement
When Gongren slowly woke up, he found that he was locked in a half-light and half-dark room. Sun Wen had already woken up and was looking at himself intently. Gong Ren let out a long breath: "Ah-" Sun Wen said with concern: "Thank God, you finally woke up." ”
Gong Ren regained his senses a little, slowly grabbed Sun Wen's hand and said, "Mr. Sun, where is this?" What is this dark room for? Who are we for? Sun Wen shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is exactly what we need to know." ”
After another while, Gong Ren thought for a while and said, "Mr. Sun, please rest assured, if they kill us, I'm afraid we will be dead a long time ago." Since Fan still has his life at this time, it shows that they don't want to put us to death yet. Sun Wen nodded and said, "I think so." Gong Ren repented: "I blame me, I don't scramble for my lack of strict review and careful observation, so that these bastards have calculated us, it doesn't matter if I die, but Mr. Sun is the leader of our party, and it is a matter of the overall situation, even if I die a thousand, I can't afford Mr. Sun's life!" I really regret it, I regret it, my intestines are all repentant. ”
Sun Wen comforted Gong Ren again and said: "The matter has come to this point, and it is not your fault alone, it is useless to say that those are useless, let's still think of a way, how to escape from this place!" Gong Ren nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Gong Ren felt a little more energetic, stood up, and took a look at the room. This room is not big, it is more than a dozen square meters, surrounded by cement walls, which seems to be relatively damp, and there is a toilet in the corner of the house. The door was a large iron door, very strong and heavy, without a window, and when I looked through the crack in the door, it was also dark, and I don't know what it was. Only through the bright light from the window did Gong Ren approach the window, and saw that the glass window was tightly closed, and the outside of the glass window was a steel bar, and there was a row of circles vertically, and there was a flat one horizontally, and those round steel bars were inserted in this flat one. Gong Ren quietly opened the window and shook the steel bars, which were extremely strong, and with his own strength, he couldn't shake them at all, and he couldn't bend them. Looking at the top, there is a small space of half a square outside the window, and above is a layer of sealing glass, which is used for light transmission.
"It's a basement, it's down there." Gong Ren said.
"Well, there's the road outside the window." Sun Wen said.
Gong Ren said to Sun Wen: "Let's make a fuss and see what these people are doing, they can't help but show up!" Sun Wen nodded and said, "Ask them what they are going to do?" ”
Gong Ren slapped the iron door, and the sound of "clang, clang, clang......" echoed in the gloomy corridor. After a while, a young man came over and asked viciously, "What are you doing, what are you doing on the door?" ”
Gong Ren listened to his accent, like a Cantonese, so he smiled and said to him: "Listen to your accent, we don't live far away, we are all fellow villagers, why are you so angry." If you're thirsty, beg for saliva to drink, so far to your territory, you can't even give saliva to drink! ”
The young man snorted in his nose, turned back, and after a while, found a broken jar with a bowl of cold water in it, took it, and shouted: "Don't play tricks, if you do, I won't open the door for you." Gong Ren smiled and said, "How can it, do you look at us like tricksters?" The boy looked through the crack in the door, and then opened it with the key and passed the water. Gong Ren saw that there was an iron chain outside the door, and the door was open to the crack of a fist, with his own martial arts, it was not a problem to hold this kid, but it was not so easy to break the chain. is to control this kid, I don't know how many guards there are outside, in case he makes a move and hurts Mr. Sun, the consequences are even more unimaginable. So, Gong Ren dispelled this idea.
Gong Ren handed the water to Sun Wen, Sun Wen drank the water, and Gong Ren said to the young man: "Who are you, we didn't offend you, why do you treat us like this?" The boy said with a straight face: "Drink water, drink water, don't talk about these useless things, if you talk nonsense, don't even drink water in the future." ”
Sun Wen drank water and asked in a soft tone as much as possible: "You are a Chinese Cantonese, why did you come to San Francisco, and your family didn't care about you?" I see that you have worked so hard, you must not have been home for a few years, right? ”
Sun Wen's words seemed to touch his sadness, and he said slowly: "If you want to come here, it's not to beg for food, they all say that there is gold here, who doesn't want to get rich." Unexpectedly, when they got here, they were nothing, and those foreigners simply took the gold that we Chinese were not human beings and dug up, and let them go. If we want to get rich, we can't make a fortune at all, wow, to put it mildly, that is, a person who asks for food, and the rest of the people are happy, just give us a mouthful, if we are not happy, this bite will not be given to us. ”
found a bosom friend, Sun Wen continued to find common ground: "Yes, our China is too poor and weak, if our country is strong and rich, we Chinese will not be bullied." "Who said no, that's a matter of the state, how can we ordinary people take care of national affairs, it's good to have something to eat."
"That's not necessarily, I heard that you have Hongmen in San Francisco, and there are overseas Chinese organizations themselves, did you also participate!" "I heard that I heard about it, but I haven't participated yet, my buddy introduced that after a while, he also asked me to join Hongmen, saying that as long as I join Hongmen, we Chinese will not be bullied."
"That's good," Sun Wen praised him again, "only when we Chinese hold our arms can we have strength, and foreigners dare not underestimate us." Little brother, I want to write a letter to my family, I wonder if you can be accommodating! The kid thought for a while and said, "Communication is definitely not good, it has been explained above, and it can't be revealed a little bit of rumor." However, I'll have to take a look after I'm done, and if there's no taboo to show the news, I'll find a way to send it out for you. ”
As soon as Sun Wen saw that there was a door, he wanted to take out two silver dollars from his body and give them to him, but he didn't expect that there was no silver dollar left all over his body. It turned out that the gang had already searched all over the body. Gong Ren said to the kid again, "Do you want to get rich?" ”
Maybe it was Gong Ren's words that were a little stiffer, and the kid said, "Don't talk about those useless things, I don't listen!" ”
After a while, the kid sent pen, ink and paper, and it seemed that he was still keeping his word. After the kid left, Sun Wen and Gongren walked under the window to discuss countermeasures. Sun Wen said to Gongren: "We try to find a way to pass the news out of this window, the United States is different from China, it is a country with the rule of law, as long as someone walks by it, they may pick up a note, they may go to the police station to report the case, and let the police rescue us." Gong Ren said: "Mr. and I thought the same, maybe I met a kind person, go to the police station to report the case, or I may meet a person who wants to make a fortune, we will allow him to have two silver, which is called to his liking, suitable for everyone's taste." ”
Sun Wen wrote many notes, which read in Chinese and English: "Good Samaritans who found the note, please go to the police station to report the case immediately, there are robbers who kidnapped us, and it is in the basement of this building." "Honolulu resident Sun Wen was kidnapped, friends who found the note, please go to the police station and report the crime, we are in the basement of this building." "If you have found a note, please quickly send a hacksaw to the bottom of this basement where the glass is broken, and reward 5 Chinese silver dollars."
There are a lot of notes, and the next step is how to send them out, Gong Ren said to Sun Wen: "Mr. Sun, if you make some noise, I will smash this piece of glass so that I can throw these notes out." Sun Wen said: "Okay! He slammed open the door and shouted, "Hungry, hungry, hurry up and send some food, hungry, hungry." ”
The sound of "bang, bang, bang......" sounded in the corridor again. Gong Ren looked out from the open window, even if he wanted to smash the glass above, it was not so easy, he looked at the room, there were no sharp weapons, with his fists, he couldn't reach it at all, Gong Ren put his body on the steel bar, and then stretched out a foot, looked at it, and kicked hard. "Bang la-" With a bang, a piece of transparent glass was kicked off, and the broken glass fell off and landed on the windowsill. Gong Ren hurriedly closed the window and blocked it with his body, so as not to be discovered by the guards.
The boy who was guarding them came over and scolded, "What's the matter, you still let Lao Tzu sleep or not." Sun Wen smiled and said to him, "This brother, we are hungry, can you send some food." The kid was dissatisfied: "It's not time to eat yet, really, why are there so many things, the tailor has no scissors and no ruler left (to eat)." Wait a while, when it's time to eat, I'll naturally bring it to you, so you can bear with it first! ”
When the boy was gone, the two men opened the window and thought about how to get the note out of the broken hole. Sun Wen kneaded the note into a round ball, threw it out, and threw it several times without success. Gong Ren folded the paper strip into paper arrows, tried to throw it out, threw it a few times, and a few paper arrows flew out. Gong Ren was overjoyed: "Finally flew out, finally flew out." ”
The two of them waited silently, waiting for the opportunity to come.
It was getting dark, but it wasn't too dark, and it was clear that there were street lights outside. Suddenly, a boy who looked like a black man was lying on the window and shouted in English: "Is this here, is this here?" Gong Ren was happy, but he couldn't understand what the black man said. Sun Wen hurriedly whispered in English: "Hello, we have been kidnapped, and we want to ask you for help." The black man said, "Didn't the note say that a saw would cost you five silver dollars, well, you give me five silver dollars, and I will give you a saw." Mr. Sun pretended to touch his pocket and said, "It's not good, our silver dollars have been robbed by the robbers, so it's okay, you give me a saw, and when we go out, I'll give you 5 silver dollars." ”
Hearing this, the black man shook his head and said, "I see, why should I believe you?" With that, he was leaving. Sun Wen hurriedly said again: "That's it, when we go out, I'll give you 10 silver dollars, please believe us." ”
Gong Ren heard their conversation, although he couldn't hear what it meant, but he also guessed that they were bargaining, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This bandit's den hasn't come out yet, and I have met another robber, who is really as black as a crow in the world." ”
The black man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll trust you for once, and this saw is yours." But I'm also going to reprice, and when you come out, be sure to give me 15 silver dollars. Sun Wen nodded and said, "Okay then!" Deal. ”
The black man handed over a hacksaw, and Gong Ren took it into his hand, feeling a kind of support in his heart, and suddenly a lot of fulfillment. Sun Wen said to Gong Ren: "Who is covering this time? However, they can't smash the door anymore, just smashing the door will arouse their suspicions. Gong Ren nodded and said, "Otherwise, if I sing a piece of Cantonese opera, then I will work hard for Mr. Sun." Sun Wen nodded and said, "We don't work hard, you sing songs, I work, sing and listen, aren't you tired of working!" ”
Gong Ren sang a part of the Cantonese opera "Lu Wenlong's Anti-Jin Return to the Song Dynasty", and he sang babblingly: "The country hates family feuds, and I can't tolerate a little delay." Before I could say goodbye, my heart was sad, and I thought that one day, no matter when and where I saw him, when I dug out my heart, I loved my sister from the details. When Gong Ren sang to the beat, he gently patted his hand on the iron door, and Sun Wen's saw saw saw it on the steel bar of the window.
Singing to the sad place, Sun Wen couldn't help it, he sang in Qionghua's singing voice: "Hatred is like the sky, I have seen your heart and liver, and you have not seen my grievances." Today, the Qingfeng Sword wants your head to fall in front of you. "But when singing to the beat, I still use a saw to see it on the rebar.
Gong Ren sang again: "I think that at the beginning, Wushu invaded the south on a large scale, and my father was guarding Lu'an Prefecture and was fighting hard with the Jin soldiers. Your father, as a forward general, actually collaborated with the enemy country and led the tiger into the Central Plains. Bombing the two wolf passes, the Jin soldiers smashed Henan, Lu'an Prefecture, and lost the danger. My father, for the sake of the military law, beheaded him, and ...... in front of the camp"
The two of them sang and harmonized, and the work was carried out intensely and continuously.
Suddenly, the guard banged on the door and shouted, "Stop singing, stop singing - what the hell are you trying to do?" ”
This knock on the door frightened Gongren and Sun Wen in fear, could it be that this kid found some flaws and heard the sound of sawing steel bars.
