It was midnight, the bonfire was already ashes, and the darkness in the distance was like the wind. The dense forest was full of chaotic trees, and after waiting for a while, the eyes were accustomed to the darkness, and it was actually a pile of casuarinas, not pine branches, and then ran inside, buried deep in the shadows, and in the dim light, the three figures began to run around, trying to escape the people who were strengthening the control at the village gate.

Liu Xin acted alone, crawling forward for nearly an hour, and finally went around to the front of the village. On the other side of the tree, Ouyang Xun and Zhang Pengtao were already in full array, waiting for Liu Xin to attract the few men on patrol away, and then they could naturally rush into the village quickly and rescue Xu Wenzhou.

This small village is closely surrounded by large trees, and this terrain makes it easier for Liu Xin's vigorous body to escape, but in order to give Ouyang Xun Zhang Pengtao more time to rescue, he had to choose to stop and deliberately humiliate and chase in the process of escaping. The fat man, who had long been hiding in the dark, lay in the dense grass and tightly pulled the hemp rope that blocked the way, and when the time came, he could pull the rope tightly and trip the pursuers.

"Come on, you idiots." Liu Xin shouted, and saw the four men standing at the door holding torches in their hands and began to chase in the direction of Liu Xin.

Zhang Pengtao jumped off the ground and looked up, the potholed mud was extremely physically demanding to run, but Liu Xin's attraction time was limited, so he had to run to the village. Zhang Pengtao turned his head, only to see Ouyang Xun standing at the door still vigilantly guarding, if something happened, Zhang Pengtao, who was looking for him in the village at the same time, could evacuate from the back door to the viaduct in time at the same time.

……

……

"Wait......" Ouyang Xun hurriedly stopped Liu Xin's description of the rescue plan, and said with an unconvinced face: "Why am I guarding at the entrance of the village, not Zhang Pengtao?" ”

It is not unreasonable to ask this question, after all, Ouyang Xun is just a fitness coach, unlike Zhang Pengtao, who has undergone high-intensity training, and can effectively put down a few men and escape smoothly.

The fat man frowned and touched his double chin, his eyes were full of question marks, as if he was in doubt that this Liu Xin was already delirious.

"I'm more concerned, where can I find the hemp rope?" The fat man replied, "Also, am I going to crawl on the grass with you for an hour to ambush?" How do you know where I'm in ambush? ”

"Then you say, what are we going to do?" Liu Xin's eyes for help looked at Zhang Pengtao, who was still obsessed with making a fire, and seemed to have not listened to the conversation of the three people at all.

Seeing that there are only one and a half bottles of water left in the three bottles that have just arrived, it is indeed a very difficult problem. If you want to go to the village to rescue people, unless Zhang Pengtao can clearly know the structure of the village. Otherwise, according to what Liu Xin just said, he would probably have been shot in the head by someone else with a gun before he found Zhou Xi Xu Wen.

This semi-modern village is not as backward as they thought. After all, each person has a machine gun, and some people hold the gun in a very standard posture.

"We can create chaos and then sneak in and grab people."

Zhang Pengtao, who had been silent, opened the golden mouth, and the other three were looking at him with glowing eyes.

"First of all, I've got to light this fire, or we're not going to be able to create chaos." Zhang Pengtao's thick arms were constantly drilling wood and starting a fire, but he couldn't light it. Looking at the wooden sticks that had been broken all over the ground, I was afraid that this fire would not be able to rise tomorrow, let alone at such a critical moment now.

"I think you can still discuss that way." The fat man looked at the distant tinder, compared with these two unreliable methods, it was still slightly less difficult for Liu Xin's method.

Looking at the approaching night, the four of them stood not far from the back door of the village, watching the lights inside and being quiet. The buzzing of mosquitoes and the grinding of severed heads on the ground are particularly disturbing.

"I think it's better for us to go straight to them and ask for someone." The fat man was holding the hemp rope that Liu Xin had made for him, which was actually a simple thing with the trunk torn into strips and rolled together.

"Now there is no sound in the village, Xu Wenzhou should be safe."

Ouyang Xun did push-ups on the ground, and his strong arm muscles began to emerge slowly. Seeing this, Zhang Pengtao could only support the scene with such behavior, after all, the muscles that were temporarily supported seemed to be of little use. The four of them crawled forward and climbed to the back door, and Liu Xin only saw it at this time, it turned out that there was an inconspicuous sign hanging above the back door, on which three big characters were written [Nanzhou Village].

Zhang Pengtao stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.

"What are you doing, get down, be seen and be over." The fat man's voice was short, as if it was because of his big belly pressing under him, which made him a little out of breath.

"Are you blind?" The corners of Zhang Pengtao's mouth twitched for a while, and he said helplessly: "You can see that there is no one at this door." ”

After speaking, everyone stood up, only to suddenly find that the back gate of Nanzhou Village was not guarded by anyone. Maybe they were thinking too much, after all, they didn't stop them when they came in at noon.

"What are you doing here?"

While the four of them were still thinking, a voice suddenly sounded behind them, which frightened everyone and ran forward a few steps, only to find that it was a plainly dressed boy, who seemed to be only in his early twenties, tall and slender, with a straight nose. Before the four of them could say hello, an old man on crutches walked out behind him, his face was thin, yellow and black, and he had lost his previous sad look, as if it was a woodcut, only the occasional roll of his eyes could indicate that he was a living thing. With his thick white hair and beard, he could be judged to be a respected person in the village.

"You're the young men who barged in today, aren't you?" The old man spoke, and his hoarse voice seemed to have a lot of phlegm stuffed into it.

"Yes old sir, we want to come back and pick up the two friends we are pressing here, and we really didn't mean to break in." The fat man was quite polite, bowing and apologizing a lot, and his voice became gentler. Thinking about it from another angle, this old man is so old, if he is a little louder, I am afraid that he will be sent away on the spot.

"Pick up your friend?" The young man standing on the side looked at the old man next to him with a look of disbelief and said, "Mr. Tan didn't tell you, your friend will let him go tomorrow." ”

After listening to the young man's words, Liu Xin became more and more unable to understand the people of Nanzhou Village. Not only are they eccentric, but they also don't explain all the actions they do, which is extremely confusing.

In a short chat, they learned that there were only two women left in the village, and most of them were single men who were not married, so there were very few girls in the village. Nanzhou Village looks quite big, but in fact there are only seven houses that can live in it, and most of the married people have already settled in the city, and this young man Zhong Zhiyuan is no exception. If it weren't for the refuge, he wouldn't want to live in this awkward village with inaccessibility but not far from the city. The old man beside Zhong Zhiyuan was the eighty-nine-year-old elder Xiahou Qiubai that Tan Shuizhi said today.

"Let's go, it's dangerous at night." Xiahou Qiubai didn't seem to want to listen to the nagging of a few people next to him anymore, after all, standing in the dark at night seemed to be plotting some plan. Walking forward on crutches, Zhong Zhiyuan, who was supporting him, only left.

"These days, the old man has to be controlled for smoking a cigarette, it's really tiring." Xiahou Qiubai continued to complain, it seems that it is not unreasonable to have so much phlegm in his throat.

Liu Xin looked at the hunched back, afraid that he was also a difficult old man. From Zhong Zhiyuan's helpless expression, it can be easily seen. The fat man threw away the fragile 'hemp rope' in his hand, which was a relief that he didn't have to do anything dangerous. The four of them followed the footsteps of the two who led the way, and came to the center of Nanzhou Village and stopped.

"Your friends should be around and look for it. I'll send Grandpa Bai back first, and I'll come back to you later. After Zhong Zhiyuan finished speaking, he began to help the old man away again.

It seems that the elder who Tan Shuizhi shouted during the day is not a major figure in the eyes of the four of them. After all, a person who smokes and has to be managed will not have a great say. Under the veil of mystery in this semi-modern Nanzhou village, it is actually an ordinary place. Thinking of this, Zhang Pengtao couldn't help but feel a little confused, why did such an ordinary village have such modern machine gun equipment.
