Chapter 5: Separation

In fact, Wu Ditan still has some gold and silver in his hands - but he really doesn't want to take it out at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If there is something missing, the last bi-monthly gold coin may be the life-saving money that can save a person's life.

It's a foreign land, not Elta, and it's not inside China β€” something that Wu has learned in the days he's been being tracked by mercenaries and thugs.

Since he has chosen to betray his motherland, he will inevitably not enjoy the sovereign protection and security environment of his motherland in Elta. No one will recognize his Chinese citizenship, let alone use this status as an elta to protect him outside the normal bounds......

At this moment, a guy in the store looked at Zhao Jiayin, who showed half of his face in a panic, and his expression was a little pale, and he took a few steps closer to the shopkeeper and said a few words in his ear.

Wu Ditan here is making up his mind, "Shopkeeper, if there are bilunar gold coins, how many more will you need?" ”

"No, I'm not going to take your money yet." The shopkeeper smiled and pointed in the direction of Zhao Jiayin, "The lady who is walking with you over there, can you turn her hood up?" I'm starting to get a little interested in your face. ”

"Don't!" Wu Ditan sensed the danger oozing out of the bone marrow, "Don't let him see your face, run, Zhao Jiayin!" I'll carry it here! ”

With that, he overturned an oak table behind him.

Suddenly, the clay cups, bowls, table legs and chairs clashed, and the scolding of the guests. The diners who thought that there was another fire in the restaurant on the border threw down their knives and forks and ran away, and among the crowds, there was naturally Zhao Jiayin, who had not yet taken off his hood and was wearing light and easy-to-run sneakers.

"Damn, shit! Don't let them run! The restaurant owner hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Wu Ditan, who looked like he was about to run away, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he only felt a chill on his neck - a straight knife as long as an arm was clearly across his neck, so that he had no way to take a step forward.

"Boss!" The guy who had just offered the plan was obviously panicked, and was just about to step forward with an arrow, but he was pierced in a cold sweat by Wu Ditan's arrow-like eyes, and he was frozen in place and unable to move......

"Shut up, ill-intentioned trash." In the face of two threats, one after the other, Wu Ditan's performance no longer seemed to be the same person, "Give me all five steps back, otherwise after your boss's head falls to the ground, the next head to fall to the ground will be the one on your neck!" ”

Relying on the threat and the guy in his hand, Wu Ditan was able to snatch his way out of the restaurant after filling his stomach without danger - but in front of him was a confusion that he had never seen before:

Where did Zhao Jiayin go? Why did those people want to see her face just now?

The order he just gave her was to run. However, what Wu Ditan can't confirm at all is: In this unfamiliar place, did Zhao Jiayin run away? Where would she be if she ran away? If she hadn't run away, who would have caught her? He didn't know anything, and the only thing he knew was probably the fact that "everyone here can't be trusted......

In this border town, the population cannot be described as sparse at all. But there are no newspapers, no missing person notice columns, no radio, no Wi-Fi and no cellular phones, what is the difference between him and a ghost town when he is looking for Zhao Jiayin?

Go to a corner where no one is there and open your backpack. Wu Ditan pinned his last hope on a walkie-talkie that could be connected to a hand-cranked power base for charging. He pulled out his walkie-talkie and pressed the buttons on it repeatedly......

All that awaited him was silence and silence. On a continent where man-made radio waves are so "clean", it's a blessing to hear the noise filtered by a dot filter - at least it means that someone in his neighborhood is trying to make contact with him.

Since getting off the boat, Zhao Jiayin has not been too lazy to shake the crank of the generator by himself. Before getting off the boat, this matter had been Wu Ditan's labor before, not why, but Zhao Jiayin always believed that the so-called "equality between men and women" was not touched.

From the moment they disembarked, they had been running in all directions, and they had not had a good day...... Wu Ditan was already exhausted every time he found a campsite just by arranging people to live there, and he was afraid that he would even leave Zhao Jiayin's walkie-talkie behind whether it was charged or not.

"It's over." Wu Ditan sat on the ground. The last compatriot who could be relied on here, the "goddess of revolution" that he longed for, was thus cut off......

For the next few days, Wu Ditan had been carefully searching for news around the border town, and in the process, he also inquired about why those people wanted to do something to Zhao Jiayin...... Just as he imagined, a certain big man in the south not only took a fancy to her beauty and offered a reward of 5,000 gold coins, but also posted this reward to the north, which must be inevitable. But there is also good news: at least the local so-called official hall has not canceled the bounty, which means that at least Zhao Jiayin has escaped.

Wu Ditan wiped a handful of sweat, but of course he also understood that he and Zhao Jiayin had fallen into a circle of contradictions at this time - if Zhao Jiayin wanted to escape this net, then going north must be the most correct choice. However, there are three roads north from this place alone. Whether Zhao Jiayin walked on one of them or fled in other directions, he had no way of knowing......

But in any case, it is impossible for Zhao Jiayin to stay in this town and wait for the minions of "Lord Bocha" to send her "Eight Lifting Sedan Chairs" to the "Pinjin Grotto" that stinks when you think about it...... And she probably won't go south to return to the tiger's mouth.

It took Wu Ditan a long time to go through all the details of the whole thing, and then he calmed down a little, regrouped his backpack and headed northβ€”but when he stepped out of an inconspicuous intersection in this town with his front foot, the thugs who had been squatting nearby for a long time targeted him accurately.

"Hmph, that's the guy, right?"

"Yes." The gangster leader hiding around the corner put down the chicken claws he was gnawing on and wiped his mouth. "That's him. That's right! The owner of the Zhentou Hotel has lost several gold coins because of this Wang Ba Lamb, and he hasn't paid yet! And also...... That guy seems to know where that exotic woman goes......"

"Boss!" A gangster was about to run out of the alley after hearing the words of the stunning woman, but his head pulled his clothes, "Why did you pull me?" That's a rare wealth in a few years! ”

"What's the hurry?" The leader easily wiped the grease stain from the roasted chicken feet on the corners of the little minion's already unclean clothes. "You're going out and stalking now, I'm afraid you'll be discovered by that guy, right? The restaurant owner said that this guy can order martial arts, have you forgotten it all? ”

"I wasn't listening at the time...... Distracted. ”

"you!" The leader gently slapped the minions on the head, "This road is long and straight, and there are many hiding places on the way up the mountain, but there is only one main road leading to the back pass. That guy can get away with us on the road, but he can't get around the pass no matter how much he does, so we'll just wait a little longer and set off and catch him at the pass. ”

Night is Wu Ditan's best weapon, and at this time, under the cover of night, he relied on a faintly fluorescent compass and the weakest grade flashlight to hover on the path. Ordinary nocturnal pedestrians would walk in groups, holding up torches with knives and weapons to show the thieves in the shadows, but it was clear that he could not do so.

There are people in the back. His instincts told him so...... In the distance, there seemed to be the sound of stones rubbing and sliding down. He crouched down and extinguished the flashlight at a corner of the mountain road and listened quietly, and there was a rustling sound in the distance, but he did not see the shadow of the torch.

The rustle was faster than they were hurrying, and they must have been more familiar with the mountain road than they were...... Wu Ditan's heart was pounding, and the fact of being chased and killed made him tremble but feel comforted - the surprise was that it was still unknown whether he could escape, and the reassuring thing was that Zhao Jiayin should have fled to a place farther north than here, at least safer than himself.

After making up his mind, he twisted the LED flashlight in his hand to the brightest point, and the pillar of light instantly penetrated the night sky, illuminating the road halfway up the mountain. This is the most "deterrent" weapon in his hand, and Wu Ditan is helpless except for counting on its strong light to scare away the ill-intentioned guys under the mountain.

The volleyed and extremely directional pillar of light frightened the gangsters who were chasing Wu Ditan halfway down the mountainside, but they also discovered Wu Ditan's location based on this.

"Hey, there!" The gangster leader, who was still worried about whether Wu Ditan was on the mountain road, jumped up and shouted, "It's him!" That's him! Chase after the little ones, don't let him run! ”

Originally, they couldn't be sure whether the pedestrians on the mountain road were Wu Ditan, so they didn't light torches to startle the snakes. It's good now, the grass doesn't have to be beaten, the snake doesn't need to be frightened, the snake ran out on its own, and it showed seven inches-

On the other hand, Wu Ditan is a who runs. He didn't expect that this strong flashlight didn't scare the enemy with a "snow-white pillar of light" as written in the time-traveling novel - those gangsters are mixed between the two forces all day long, and the desire for money has long surpassed the continuation of life to become their biggest motivation, so what does it matter if you shoot some bright light? It's not a laser, it's not a gun, it's just a beacon that illuminates its prey.
