Chapter 607: Bet on Me?
Of course, Zhao Guoqing would not be stupid enough to kill Lin Donglai, and let this guy let go of his hand after experiencing what it means to be on the verge of death.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Lin Donglai half-fell to the ground and coughed violently, just passing by death gave him a new understanding of life, and at the same time, he was full of an inexplicable fear of Zhao Guoqing, and even regretted taking the initiative to provoke Zhao Guoqing.
"Where is she?" Zhao Guoqing replied coldly.
"I don't know." Lin Dong replied, and when the words fell, he was picked up by Zhao Guoqing again, and hurriedly explained, "I really don't know where she is now, but I know where she will be tonight!" ”
Mana Dan, play with me?
Zhao Guoqing scolded unhappily and asked, "Where will she appear?" ”
Lin Donglai looked nervously left and right, and then pleaded with Zhao Guoqing: "Brother, do you think this place is really suitable for chatting?" ”
This place is not far from the Fenshui River, and other high-ranking prisoners may arrive at any time, so it is really not suitable for chatting.
Zhao Guoqing let go of Lin Donglai again and threatened: "You'd better not play tricks with me, otherwise I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." ”
"No, no." Lin Donglai replied repeatedly, and at the same time was glad that he had picked up a life and came back.
"Lead the way!" Zhao Guoqing commanded.
"Yes." Lin Donglai was busy leading the way for Zhao Guoqing in front, but his mood was much better.
Along the way, Zhao Guoqing judged according to what he saw in front of him and the map, and found that he was being taken by Lin Donglai to the outpost of the Second District Prison, that is, to enter a temporary resting place where the prisoners were actually held.
"The village is ahead." Lin Donglai pointed to the peach forest in front of him and said.
Village?
Zhao Guoqing frowned slightly.
Lin Donglai observed the details and immediately explained: "Of course, I am not talking about 'hidden', but a small village. Oh, you used to call it the Outpost, because there is a peach forest here, so we call it Peach Forest Village, and I live in this peach forest village. ”
Soon Zhao Guoqing saw the village that Lin Donglai said, it has really developed into a small village, with dozens of houses and pedestrians on the street.
Where there is a bit of a prison smell here, the people on the street are less like prisoners, and it looks more like they have traveled back to a small mountain village in the last century, where people live a happy life.
It seems that the second district has really changed a lot, and the map that Zhang Xiu gave himself shows that it is very backward.
Lin Donglai said as he walked: "Don't worry, the people in this village are usually U-level prisoners, and they settled here because they didn't want to provoke higher-level prisoners. ”
A U-class prisoner?
Zhao Guoqing asked, "Haven't all the U-level prisoners already crossed the Fenshui River and run away?" ”
Lin Donglai smiled and shook his head and replied, "It is true that some U-level prisoners have crossed the Fenshui River, but most of them still choose to stay. ”
"Why?" Zhao Guoqing asked, thinking of the V-class prisoner who was electrocuted to death by electric shock, does it mean that not all U-level prisoners can leave the Fenshui River?
Lin Donglai looked around vigilantly, stretched out his hand and pointed to an inconspicuous house not far away, and said, "That's my house, let's go in and talk about it." ”
Zhao Guoqing didn't want to attract too much attention, so he nodded and followed Lin Donglai into the house.
The house is not large, it is a combination of living and working, and a wooden sign is hung on the door with the word "craftsman's shop" written on it.
There are many messy things in the house, from knives to high-tech equipment similar to dragonflies, it seems that Lin Donglai's identity as a craftsman is not fake, and he has many special skills.
As the host, Lin Donglai immediately made a cup of tea for Zhao Guoqing, and said with a smile that he said with some courtesy: "Little brother, come, try the peach blossom tea I brewed myself." ”
Zhao Guoqing was not afraid that tea could be poisonous, and besides, he was really thirsty, so he took the tea and ate it.
Good tea.
Zhao Guoqing secretly boasted, but on the surface, he still stretched Zhang Xiang to Lin Dong and said, "Explain to me first, why did some U-class prisoners cross the Fenshui River, while others stayed here?" ”
Lin Donglai seemed to be touched, and sighed lightly and said to Zhao Guoqing: "I know you want to know if all the U-class prisoners can cross the Fenshui River. I can't give you a definite answer to this, but as far as I can tell, none of the U-class prisoners who have crossed the Fenshui River have died under the electric nucleus, which means that the electric nucleus does not work against U-class prisoners. ”
"As for why so many U-class prisoners didn't choose to leave? That's because most of the people who live here are used to life here, and they don't feel comfortable letting them leave here and go back to the world. ”
"In addition, there are people like me who have been bound by life and have to stay here."
Zhao Guoqing heard that Lin Donglai was referring to his daughter, if it wasn't for his daughter being detained, then he might choose to leave like others.
Just when Zhao Guoqing was about to ask about Xiao Yaxiao's whereabouts, he heard a vicious shout outside.
"The surname Lin, come out for me!"
"Manadan, do you think you can just hide?"
"Tell you, today is the last day, if you don't pay back the gold coins, then you don't have to think about seeing your daughter again!"
"If you haven't come out yet, do you want me to burn down your house?"
Lin Donglai's emotions were obviously a little excited, but he forcibly seized the impulse in his heart, and preached to Zhao Guoqing: "Little brother, please wait here, I'll come when I go out to have a look." ”
Zhao Guoqing nodded his head, and after Lin Dong came out, he immediately leaned in front of the window and looked out.
I only saw outside
There are three big men standing in front of them, they just look bigger than Lin Donglai, but their cultivation is not necessarily taller than Lin Donglai, but Lin Donglai is very afraid of them, probably because his daughter is in the hands of these people.
The three of them scolded Lin Donglai for a while, but the people passing by around didn't even look at it, first, they didn't care, and second, they didn't want to get into trouble.
Suddenly, a guy punched Lin Donglai in the face.
With a "bang", Lin Donglai fell backwards to the ground, holding his eyes with one hand.
Zhao Guoqing clenched his fists slightly, thought for a while and still didn't go out.
"Remember, you won't want to see your daughter after twelve o'clock tonight, get out!" Dahan threatened.
"Yes, yes." Lin Donglai struggled to get up from the ground, nodded and responded, he endured everything for his daughter.
After sending the three fierce gods away, Lin Donglai returned to the room and inserted the door from the inside.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Guoqing asked, and found that Lin Donglai's right eye had turned into a black circle, and the redness of his eyeballs might have hurt the bottom of his eyes.
Lin Donglai shook his head, sighed lightly and said, "Let you see you laugh." As he spoke, he cleaned up his mood and preached to Zhao Guoqing, "Come, let's continue talking." ”
Zhao Guoqing hesitated for a moment, and did not ask about Xiao Yaxi, but said: "Let's talk about your daughter first, why was she arrested by those people?" ”
Lin Donglai sighed lightly again, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's all because I'm not angry." Two months ago, I suddenly took over a business to build a special piece of equipment, and I went deep into the mountains in search of village materials, only to be attacked by a man in black and injured. I've been bedridden ever since, and my daughter has been in debt by raising money and medicine to save me. Because I couldn't pay my debts, the creditor took my daughter away. ”
Zhao Guoqing frowned when he heard this, there were many problems in the middle, and he knew at a glance that Lin Donglai had been tricked.
Lin Donglai smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you're thinking, someone set me up." It's a pity that I didn't see through it at the first time, and the person who played the next set is a tyrant in this area, and I am not his opponent at all, so "
"Do you think if you give him the money back, he'll let your daughter go?" Zhao Guoqing asked.
Lin Donglai took a deep breath and said, "I don't know." However, I have to try, or I'll have to fight him hard! ”
Dogs will bite people when they are forced to be anxious, let alone people?
Zhao Guoqing had already seen that Lin Donglai was ready, if he hadn't met him today, then he would have acted according to his plan.
"How much do you owe him?" Zhao Guoqing asked.
Lin Donglai thought about it for a while and said, "The principal plus interest is almost a hundred gold coins." As he spoke, he took out a gold coin the size of a one-dollar coin from his pocket and said, "Unlike the outside world, there are no paper money, and all transactions are in gold or barter. ”
Paper money is the least reliable currency and can go bankrupt at any time, while gold and bartering are the safest methods of trading.
It seems that the second prison district has formed its own trade and management system.
It is inhabited by vicious people who have committed serious crimes in the outside world, but the environment here is safer than the outside world, which may be the real reason why they are reluctant to leave.
Zhao Guoqing took the gold coin and played with it and asked, "How do you want me to help you?" ”
"You're going to help me?" Lin Donglai asked excitedly, as if he was afraid that Zhao Guoqing would regret it, and then he said, "There will be a fighting competition in the small town fighting arena tonight, if you can sign up for it, I believe you will be able to win enough gold coins for me to save my daughter!" ”
"You're trying to bet on me?" Zhao Guoqing asked.
Lin Donglai nodded in response: "You are definitely a newcomer here, no one knows your strength, and as long as I bet enough on you, I can earn enough gold coins at one time!" ”
Zhao Guoqing understood what Lin Donglai meant, he looked very ordinary on the outside, and even a weak person in the eyes of others, no one would believe that he would win, as long as he could win the game, he could earn the corresponding gold coins for Lin Donglai.
"Is that okay?" Lin Donglai looked at Zhao Guoqing with a nervous and eager expression.
