Chapter 27: The Lost Secret Passage (3)
Although, one by one, we were already frightened, thinking that we would deal with what happened with a very calm mind. However, when we heard Ali say that this was his home, we were still stunned. I didn't expect that Ali and Ahri still remember the way home even though they are in someone else's body now, maybe that's what home is all about. I asked myself, where is my home?
"Huh, is this your home?" I asked.
"Well, you guys take a rest here first, I'll go get something, and then I'll leave at once. Ali walked out.
"What are you going to take......" Ali had already walked away, "Okay." ”
"I didn't see it at first glance, but now I look at it, the decoration here is quite chic, it seems that Ali and Ahri have a lot of charm in life. Lao Xu sat down and kept admiring the furnishings in Ali's house.
"By the way, Old Mo," Fleur frowned, as if she remembered something, "Have you heard of Ali and Ahri in the town?"
"Hmm...... To be honest, I've been in Lazy Town for so long, and I've never heard of a family named Ali and Ahri. But Ali said that this was his home...... Let me think again. Mo Qingyan scratched his chin and frowned.
"Yes, I don't remember any of them in our town named Ali and Ahri. Fleur nodded.
"Ah...... What do you mean...... Don't Ali and Ahri really exist?" I asked nervously and in a low voice.
"Wait......" Suddenly, Mo Qingyan seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up.
"What do you remember? Fleur was nervous too.
"I really haven't heard of Ali and Ahri," he continued, after a pause, "But, Lili and Tanuki are so strange, I remember......! There is also a husband and wife who have this power and raccoon dog, but the man's name is Liu Lihua and the woman's name is Wu Li, and they are an elderly couple. If you look at it this way, you may be able to get it right in terms of age. ”
Liu Lihua ...... Wu Li...... Oh~" When these two names were mentioned, Lao Xu also remembered something, and he said in surprise, "Isn't that old couple growing greenhouse vegetables in our town? Later, the people of Greedy Town still asked me to order!"
"It seems that yes, their family grows greenhouse vegetables. But......" Mo Qingyan frowned, and a little sadness was added to his eyes, "I remember that seven or eight years ago, this couple passed away unexpectedly." At that time, the couple went to their own house and left without a sound, but the neighbor's house smelled the rancid smell and forcibly pushed the door open to find out. I remember that I was accidentally electrocuted, and I was also involved in the aftermath of the incident. ”
"Old Mo, what you said is true?" Furao shook her head in disbelief.
"It's true, because I remember the situation clearly, it's so bizarre!"
"How bizarre?" I asked curiously.
"I went to examine the bodies of the couple and found that they had been electrocuted. But we didn't find any leaking machinery in their house, so it was determined that they died accidentally. When we think about it, we suspected that someone had taken away the leakage machine afterwards!"
"Who is it?" asked Fleur.
"We don't know who it is, and we were only suspicious at the time, after all, we couldn't find any clues that it was artificial. Later, after a long time, the matter was over. ”
"Mo Qingyan, do you think Ali and Ahri are the couple you are talking about?" I asked uneasily.
"This ...... I don't dare to say whether it is or not, because Liu Lihua and Wu Li, an elderly couple, rarely intersect with other townspeople, and we went to find people in the know, but we did not get useful information. Actually, I've only seen them once or twice, and I don't know their personality traits, so it's hard to tell. Besides, didn't you say that their flesh was lazy? ”
"Lao Mo is right, after such a long time, the corpse has rotted, how can he come up with consciousness from it. Could it be ......"
"Captain, what is it?"
"Could it be that they are lazy and made up?"
"Ahh
When I heard what Fleur and Mo Qingyan were talking about, I was suddenly shocked, I didn't seem to have doubted the identities of Ali and Ahri from beginning to end, as if I had decided that they were the townsfolk who had been taken away by laziness and cruelty. But if they were really lazy and imaginary, and deliberately led us back to lazy town, wouldn't we be in a very dangerous situation? At this time, the sky outside the window was overcast, and we were not much left, and Fleur told us to be more careful. Just then, Ali pushed open the door, and a jumper came in, telling us to hurry up with him.
"It's dawn, hurry up!"
"Why are you looking at me?
......
"Let's go!"
"Okay, let's go. ”
With her piercing eyes, Fleur tells us to follow Ali as planned, and if anything happens, we'll improvise. So, each of us dragged our heavy steps and followed Ali carefully, and now, we had to guard not only against laziness, but also against Ali and Ahri.
At this time, the town of laziness is no longer dark, the faint sun is shining on the earth, the sleeping town of laziness is waking up, we must be more careful than the night. Ali led us out the back door of the house, and when we went out, there was a very narrow alley, with a high wall on one side and the wall of the house on the other. Ali told us that at the end of the alley, there was a cellar of a house that led to the lail's nest.
The alley grew narrower and narrower, until at last it was so narrow that only one person could squeeze it sideways, and all of them were relatively thin, and they could easily walk through. And I have eaten one meal after another in the cafeteria these days, and it happened to have a little more meat on my body, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze through this slit, but my arms and legs have different degrees of abrasions. However, the worst person is not me, but Lao Xu. We were about to continue walking when we heard him whispering from behind us to stop, and we turned our heads to find that he was stuck in the crack and couldn't move, waving desperately at us. I almost burst out laughing when I saw this. I covered my mouth with my hand and tried not to make a sound, but this laughed out of internal injuries and almost fell to my knees with weak legs. Mo Qingyan and Ah Li stepped forward, reached out and clasped his hand, the two of them pulled him out hard, the hard wall was scratching his chest and back, the pain made his face extremely hideous, and tears came out. He couldn't help it in pain, and desperately shook his head and shouted at them to stop, but Mo Qingyan and Ali didn't stop, because there was really not much time left for us.
"Stop, stop, pain, pain!" Lao Xu cried out in pain, but in order not to be discovered, he couldn't shout loudly, so he could only hold his breath and say hideously.
"Stop, stop, my chest is almost gone!"
"Stop, please, stop!"
"Ahh
"Ah......h
With a painful groan, Lao Xu was pulled out alive. The clothes on his chest were stained pale red with blood oozing from them, and he looked at the blood-colored clothes on his chest, and stroked them gently with his hands, and then stared at us with wide eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was overwhelmed with grief, and kept accusing us.
"You guys, beasts, I told you I was in pain, why did you force me out!"
"What if I don't pull you out!, there's no time!" Mo Qingyan said with a smile.
"Yes, young man, just bear with it!" Ali patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, like an elder admonishing a junior.
"Bear with it?!Why don't you put up with it! My chest is about to be worn away by you!"
"There's no time, let's go, Lao Xu, I'll give you a good treatment when I go back!" Mo Qingyan said with a smile.
"Beasts! Woo!
We dragged Lao Xu forward, walked for a while, and finally came to the end of the alley, Ali pointed to the house in front of him, indicating that this is the house that can lead to the lazy nest. But this house is very small, smaller than the other houses in Lazy Town, and it is not even as big as a room in Lao Xu's house. Our group leaned against the fence and was about to climb over the fence to enter, but at that moment, a sound came from inside the house, and we had just stood up and crouched down again.
"Wait, there's someone inside!" Fleur pressed her index finger to her lips, telling us not to make any sound.
One by one, we crouched on the wall, and we were so tense that we were about to suffocate, who was in it?
"Hurry up! Defend it! Don't let those gangsters take advantage of it!"
"Yes!"
It turned out that the gang were lazy guards, and several of them were guarded in the four corners of the house, and they were fully armed, and it was impossible to sneak in. At this time, Ali took out a long strip of something from his backpack and patted me on the shoulder, which made me come back to my senses.
"Brother Ali, what is this?" Fleur asked as she looked at him and asked inexplicably.
"These are some firecrackers, who among you threw things the farthest?" Ali asked softly.
"Oh...... So you just said you were going to get something, and you were taking this. "Only then did I understand why Ali ran out to get something, it turned out to be premeditated.
"Yes, I guess the lazy men will be guarding here, and I tell you, wait a minute, and go into the cellar under the house while the guards run away. Ali commanded.
"Well, okay. Fluff replied.
"Also, all of you who have weapons on you take out your weapons! There may be some guards under the cellar. ”
"Okay, Lao Mo, Lao Xu, take out your weapon. Fu Yuan ordered, and Lao Mo and Lao Xu took out a pistol from their waists.
"Yes. ”
"Okay, little girl, I'll throw this thing at you, you can throw it as far as you can. ”
"Ahh "I pushed away those firecrackers in a panic, why are so many men, it's my turn to throw them.
"It's okay, you just throw it out and get their attention. ”
"I ......"
"I'll leave it to you!"
"Okay. I tried my best. I can't guarantee that I can really throw it far!"
"It's okay, just throw it. ”
Ali handed me a few strings of firecrackers in his hand, and I took them with a full of doubts, what if I slipped it? Mo Qingyan patted me on the shoulder and told me not to think too much, just throw it out, and he whispered in my ear.
"It seems that this Ali is quite material, and this can be thought of. ”
Speaking of which, when I was in the base, Ali gave me the impression that he was a very rude person, even a little silly. However, I didn't expect to be so thoughtful here, not only did I know the tunnels of Lazy Town by heart, but I also expected that there were guards here, and I brought firecrackers in advance, which really couldn't help but be impressive.
I took these strings of firecrackers and walked outside the wall, and Ali took out a matchbox from his trouser pocket and took a match. These matches have been damp and blackened, and they look like they have been sitting for years. Unexpectedly, with such a slight stroke, the match was lit, revealing a beam of crystal clear flames. Ali guarded the flame with his hand and lit the ignition wire. The sparks were so frightened that I didn't know where to throw them, so Ali grabbed my hand and told me to turn around and throw them at the places where no one was around. I closed my eyes and threw myself forward with all my might, I only felt a pair of hands holding my head and pressing me to the ground, and finally I heard a loud "bang", and instantly felt the sky fall, and there was a piercing buzzing sound in my ears, and it took a long time to recover.
When the humming had subsided, I heard the guards in the wall start to make a noise, and they all ran out. Ali poked his head out to watch the guards move, then gave me a thumbs up. When all of them had run out of the house, he motioned for us to climb over the wall and get in. We quickly climbed over the wall and entered, and although we were a little scrambling, we still didn't notice and came in safely. A few of us bent down and entered the house lightly, and Ali familiarly found the door to the cellar, which it opened with ease. He stood at the door and told us to go in, and when we were inside, he gently closed the door again. In a blink of an eye, our group was in the cellar.
Fu Yuan, Mo Qingyan, and Lao Xu each had a gun in their hands, and Ali and I both wanted one, but they said that we had no experience, and they were afraid that we would hurt our own people if we went too far. So Ah Li and I walked among them, Fu Hui and Mo Qingyan walked in front to explore the way, and Lao Xu walked at the end in case someone came behind.
After walking for a while, we reached the end of the cellar, and Ali familiarly found the mechanism that opened the secret door, but this time, instead of opening it very happily, he put his hand on it and did not open it for a long time.
"What's wrong? Fleur stepped forward and asked.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, you guys...... Are you ready? There may be lazy people over there. ”
"Well, we're all set. Fleur nodded to Ali.
"Alright, I'll open the door. Three, two, one. ”
Ah Li pushed the door hard, but he couldn't push it, so he had to recruit Mo Qingyan and Ah Li to come over to help. The three of them pushed forward in unison, and the secret door gradually opened obediently, and the other side of the secret door seemed to be another world, a strong light shone in, Fu Yuan, Mo Qingyan and Lao Xu took a step back, clenched the guns in their hands, and pointed at the door.
