Chapter Seventy-Five: The Helper
The pursuers attracted by the other party were a trouble, and even Chen Fei was accidentally implicated.
To save or not to save?
If ignored, Li Yunqing will not be able to escape the pursuit of the hounds, and will finally be sent to the guillotine.
Chen Fei remembered the plan to go back to prison to save Degas, maybe this person could be used later.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Li Yunqing's figure was getting clearer and clearer, less than 25 meters away from Chen Fei's hiding place.
Chen Fei saw Li Yunqing lying on the stake in front of the wooden house, panting frantically, obviously reaching the limit of his physical strength.
Just when Chen Fei was hesitating, the development of the story changed unexpectedly.
After Li Yunqing took a few breaths, he looked up and found the boat covered by the tarpaulin.
He was happy at first, then gritted his teeth decisively, and dragged the wooden boat desperately towards the bank of the mushroom river.
"Damn it!"
Things are developing for the worst, Li Yunqing not only attracts hounds for Chen Fei, but also tries to push the boat into the mushroom river, and uses the river water to drive the boat to escape.
Such recklessness would lead to the worst possible outcome - as soon as the ship was launched, the jailers arrived, and the men and the boat would be shot to pieces.
It's not a pity for this guy to die, the point is that the only boat will also be destroyed in his hands.
After a series of accidents, Chen Fei lost time to hesitate, he made up his mind in an instant, jumped up from the pile of rocks, and yelled at Li Yunqing in front of the wooden house: "Idiot, jump into the river, the smell of your body has attracted the hound, and you can only escape by hiding in the river." ”
Chen Fei's roar woke Li Yunqing up like an initiation, he nodded to Chen Fei in a hurry, threw down the boat and dived into the river with a thud.
Chen Fei also hurried back into the rock pile.
A few minutes later, a group of jailers appeared in front of the hut with several hounds, followed by the old hunter named George.
The hound, under the control of the reins, dragged the jailer desperately towards the river, and then stopped on the shore and barked wildly.
Several jailers glanced at each other and understood Li Yunqing's escape route, but they had no choice.
I had to reluctantly hold a spear and search downstream along the riverbank, as for whether the prisoner can be found, it is none of their business, let the warden have a headache, who makes the place where the family sits has a high salary.
One of the jailers did not leave with the group, but was attracted by the air-exposed wooden boat, and he chirped a few words to his departing companions, but no one paid any attention.
Then he angrily raised the butt of his rifle and smashed it into the hull of the ship.
Chen Fei's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The boat was their only means of escaping the sea, and if it were destroyed by the jailers, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chen Fei's frustration did not last long, as George, the old hunter who followed the jailer, stopped the destruction of the wooden boat, and he gestured a few times at the jailer, who immediately threw down the wooden boat and chased it in the direction of the large army.
George did not go away, but went back into the hut, and after a while came out of it, and stood in front of the hut looking at the boat, and then picked up the tarpaulins that had been scattered on the ground and put them on the boat.
Chen Fei thought about it in a blink of an eye, and figured out George's intentions.
This guy also wants to continue to use this wooden boat to fish, as long as the Butterfly Island Prison exists, there will be a steady stream of escaped prisoners, and the message he disseminates among the prisoners will continue to bring him benefits.
What a cunning fox.
George's despicable intentions unexpectedly fulfilled Chen Fei and Li Yunqing, if he knew that he would soon fall into a boat and go empty, I am afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
Chen Fei'an lurked quietly in the rock pile behind him, silently watching George follow the jailer's footsteps and leave, and the silence in front of the wooden house was restored.
And in the aquatic plants on the shore where Li Yunqing was hiding, a huge wave suddenly set off.
Chen Fei's face changed, and he remembered that the South Asian python that escaped with injuries last night was from here and into the water, if the South Asian python was still there......
Sometimes I have to lament the fickleness of luck.
Li Yunqing finally escaped here, and with his own help, he escaped the jailer and the hound, could he accidentally die in the belly of the python?
Chen Fei continued to squat for a few minutes before he cautiously walked out of the rock pile, he came to the river with a complicated mood, and suddenly saw Li Yunqing rushing out of the river with an embarrassed face, and he had an extra dead otter in his hand.
The otter was about the size of a puppy, and he carried it upside down in his hand, and the water stains on the prison uniform were scattered along Li Yunqing's footsteps.
Li Yunqing stood in front of Chen Fei panting, his eyes skimmed over the dagger and spear in Chen Fei's hand, and a smile reluctantly appeared on his face, and said, "Thank you for your reminder just now, now that the ship is in hand, let's work together to sail the boat out to sea while it is dark and leave this damn place." ”
Chen Fei smiled disdainfully, as if he did not approve of the other party's proposal.
He lifted the spear in his hand and replied with an affirmative expression: "You are wrong, the ship is mine, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
The smile on Li Yunqing's face quickly stopped, and his face became solemn.
He retorted in disbelief, "Are you crazy? It's big enough for both of us, do you want to leave alone? Listen to my advice, I am familiar with this sea area, the sea is stormy, you can't stabilize the sails alone, you need a helper. ”
Chen Fei smiled noncommittally, carried the spear into the wooden house, and appeared in front of Li Yunqing again a moment later, he waved his hand and threw a dagger and lighter at the other party's feet.
"Don't talk nonsense, go make a fire and barbecue, you stay outside tonight to watch the night, without my permission, it's best not to go near the wooden house, I'm afraid that the gun in my hand will go off if I accidentally go."
Li Yunqing's face changed, and the green tendons on his forehead rose up, as if he had been greatly insulted.
Unexpectedly, in a few breaths, this guy adjusted his mentality, bent down without saying a word, picked up the lighter and dagger on the ground, and dragged the otter corpse to the river to open his intestines and clean up his internal organs.
Chen Fei lay on his back on the trunk of a dead tree in front of the wooden house, thinking about his plans for the evening.
Because of Li Yunqing's sudden appearance, he realized that tonight was a godsend opportunity to rescue Degas.
The prison guards have been dispatched repeatedly in order to hunt him down, and they are already exhausted, and the number of people left behind will definitely decrease.
The only variable is that after he leaves, Li Yunqing is very likely to leave by boat alone.
So he couldn't give Li Yunqing a chance to stay.
"You have to take this guy with you."
As for whether Li Yunqing listened to the order, Chen Fei touched the gun in his hand and was very confident in his persuasiveness.
An hour later, the sky was completely dark, and on the bonfire in front of the wooden house, Li Yunqing was concentrating on roasting otter meat, which exuded a golden luster under the irradiation of the flames, and the fat and tender grease dripped into the fire from time to time with the rotation of the wooden stick, splashing a series of crackling sounds.
The aroma of barbecue fills the air.
Just a simple barbecue sprinkled with a layer of salt is a rare delicacy for the two of them today.
