In the middle of the night, it was pouring rain outside, thunder after thunder, and lightning fell from the sky. A window on the roof of the church was pushed open to allow ventilation, and this window was the only one in the entire church that was not sealed with wooden strips. A thick bandage was flung out, and then two black figures fell from the window clutching the bandage.

The torrential rain hit the ground and splashed one by one, such a climate. Neither the black thugs nor the Indian guards will come out to patrol, it is a very good opportunity to escape, the Chen brothers found this moment, Father Perrod told them that their lungs are already full of dust, and continuing to dig coal will be extremely harmful to the body, so the Chen brothers are anxious to escape, and they are afraid that they will not be able to save this little life if they stay here.

Under the cover of night, the two kept shuttling through the darkness, and although there was no moon at night, there were still searchlights on the watchtower of the mine. Although there were no patrols, there were still people standing guard on the watchtower, and the Chen brothers carefully avoided these searchlights, knowing that if they were discovered, the guards would shoot them directly.

The Chen brothers are also caring people, and they cooperate with each other to cross through with barbed wire fences wrapped in clothes, evade searchlights along dark corners, and even crawl through dog kennels to pass through checkpoints.

Step by step they approached the gates of the mine, and as soon as they passed through here, they were both free.

It is impossible to open the gate, and even if it could, it would not be possible to do so, and the movement would be too loud and attract the attention of the guards. But a small door next to it is the key to freedom. This was originally intended to be convenient for the guards, but now it is the escape gate for the Chen brothers.

"Keys! Key! Chen Laoer, who arrived at the door first, wiped a handful of rain on his face and said eagerly.

"It's coming, it's coming." Boss Chen took out the key hidden in his arms and stepped forward to open the door lock.

The door clicked, and the two of them were ecstatic, ready to rush out of the damn mine.

"Whoa!" A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, tearing a hole in the canopy.

"Hello!" Outside the doorway stood the captain of the guard, Garcia, with a revolver in his right hand pointed at them, and he raised his hat with his left hand and teased.

The Chen brothers were all stupid, and when they finally opened the door, they met the captain of the guard here, and subconsciously turned around and ran.

"Woohoo!" Two gunshots rang out, how could a person outrun the bullets, the Chen brothers fell in a pool of blood, and the heavy rain quickly washed their blood into a puddle.

Garcia snorted, tucked his pistol into his waist, beckoned to two Indian guards, dragged their bodies away, and hung them in the square as a warning to the coolies who were trying to escape from the mines.

Yang Xiaoshan, who was awakened by two gunshots at midnight, fell asleep again because he was too tired. When he woke up in the morning and saw the hanging corpses in the square, he understood that it was the Chen brothers who were trying to escape and were killed last night.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and Yang Xiaoshan's heart was shrouded in a haze. He sat at the window, looking at the barriers through the window, simulating the movements of the Chen brothers in his heart.

"Everything was perfect, but unfortunately I died at the last moment." Through the footprints, the strips of cloth torn by the clothes, and the last blood, Yang Xiaoshan probably knew the escape route of the Chen brothers.

"Looking at the direction of their death, it seems that they were killed by people outside after opening the outermost small door of the mine, but the question is how do they have the small door key?" Yang Xiaoshan was in a small single room on the second floor of the church while recuperating from his injuries and secretly wondering that the lessons of other people's failures must be learned, and this is all a lesson in exchange for life.

Yang Xiaoshan was still thinking about the problem, and a person came in by pushing the door outside the door, and this person was the manservant Weng Derong that Yang Xiaoshan desperately wanted to see.

There were a lot of wounded in the church, and the priest couldn't be busy alone.

"You are Yang Xiaoshan?" Weng Derong held a wooden basin with a basin of clear water in it.

Yang Xiaoshan turned his face and looked at Weng Derong carefully. Weng Derong looked to be in his thirties, his eyes were small, he looked very honest, he spoke softly, and he was a very cautious person.

"Yes." Yang Xiaoshan felt that this person was a little introverted, and he hadn't figured out how to get close to him and win his trust, after all, this person was very important to him to escape from the mine.

Weng Derong was indeed a little bad at words, and gently changed Yang Xiaoshan's bandage without saying a word.

"Your body is really strong, the whip of the Great Black Tower didn't hurt your muscles and bones, you have practiced." Weng Derong is an expert, lifted the bandage and took a closer look and came to the conclusion that foreigners can't understand it, but Chinese understand Chinese.

Yang Xiaoshan saw that it was a good opportunity for him to talk to himself, so he said, "Brother Weng is from Fujian? ”

"Yes, most of us here are from Fujian." Weng Derong replied subconsciously.

"Do you have a wife at home? You come out alone, don't you want them? Yang Xiaoshan asked.

Yang Xiaoshan's words may have asked Weng Derong's sadness, he was speechless for a long time, and finally muttered: "Why don't you want to?" There are still six years to go, and I can't go home until I finish these six years. ”

"You think so much about your wife and children, you never thought about leaving here early?" Yang Xiaoshan led the conversation to fleeing the mine.

"Shh Weng Derong looked around cautiously, for fear that someone would hear.

"Don't talk about this, no one has ever managed to escape from this mine, you see that the Chen brothers are a role model today. Don't think about it, you can go home after eight years of hard work. Weng Derong said cautiously.

Yang Xiaoshan knew that this Weng Derong was a timid person, so he didn't say much, and changed the topic: "How did you get here?" You have a wife and children, how can you want to come here? ”

"Hey, I was arrested, I, a barefoot man, went to the village to see a doctor, and on the way back, I was beaten with a stick, and when I woke up, I was on the boat." Weng Derong said depressedly.

"You're really unlucky." Yang Xiaoshan was a little sympathetic and said that he was also brought in this way.

"Speaking of which, if I had gone to Nanyang with Brother Chen Alin back then, I wouldn't have fallen here." Weng Derong shook his head and sighed.

"Chen Alin?" Yang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, this is not the person he saved in the uprising of the Shanghai Little Knife Society. (See Chapter 271)

"Do you know Brother Chen?" Weng Derong saw Yang Xiaoshan's expression and hurriedly asked.

Yang Xiaoshan told Weng Derong about his experience in Shanghai, and this Weng Derong was also an old member of the Tiandihui in Fujian back then, because he also had a relatively high status in the Tiandihui because he knew how to use medicine. After Chen Alin returned to Fujian, he planned to go to Nanyang to develop, but this Weng Derong had soft roots, and his wife didn't want to go to Nanyang because the children were still young, so he resigned. Unexpectedly, it went wrong and was taken to Peru in South America by human traffickers.

Because both of them knew the same person, they suddenly got a lot closer when they chatted.

"Brother Weng, why don't you escape from this mine with us." Yang Xiaoshan took advantage of this opportunity to invite vigorously.

Weng Derong frowned, spread his hands and said, "Brother Yang, to be honest, I'm really afraid of death, my wife and children can't live without me." This mine is evil, no one has ever managed to escape, I really don't dare. I'm not afraid that you will look down on me, although I am also called by others to be this manservant, but in the end it is still better than going to the mine, I have been boiling for two years, and I will be free in another six years, I really don't want to risk being killed. ”

Weng Derong's words really had a heart-to-heart with Yang Xiaoshan, Yang Xiaoshan nodded, what Weng Derong said was indeed the truth. As the manager's manservant, he wore a small vest, neatly dressed, had no worries about food and clothing, and was not in danger of his life, and he was much better than the coolies in the mines, so there was no need to take risks and escape.

"Since you don't want to, I won't force it, what do you say today, you can't tell the third person." Yang Xiaoshan is still very risk-conscious, although he believes that Weng Derong will not betray himself, but he still has to say ugly things to the front.

"Of course, I just haven't heard of it." Weng Derong tied Yang Xiaoshan with the last new bandage, and all the bandages were finally changed.

"What are you talking about?" Father Pedro pushed the door open and smiled.

Weng Derong was startled, and hurriedly said to Pedro: "According to your orders, the bandages have been changed, and I will go and pour out the dirty water in the wooden basin!" ”

"Okay." Pedro walked into the room, let out the door, and let Ontron out.

"We're talking about the Chen brothers, they're really miserable." Yang Xiaoshan said as he carefully observed the priest's demeanor.

Father Perrod's expression was indeed a little strange, and he made a cross on his chest and said, "May the Lord bless them." ”

"Father, I want to ask you a question, how did the Chen brothers have a small door key?" Yang Xiaoshan looked straight at Pedro, he thought that if the Chen brothers did not have the key, they would never escape, and the last barrier of the mine was more than thirty meters high, blocking the entire valley, and it was almost impossible to climb over. He guessed that the key should have belonged to Father Pedro, and as for why it came to the Chen brothers, it was very mysterious.

"They stole my keys at night." Father Pedro's face changed again.

"Really?" Yang Xiaoshan didn't believe it and asked.
