Chapter 397: Persuasion
The situation is urgent, the two of us may be found soon, suddenly, I thought of a way, since the two of us will definitely be found here, it is better to find one person than two people being arrested, it is better to take the initiative, while they haven't come over, I will go out first to lure them away, Chu Yan is here waiting for the person who rescued us, and when the time comes, even if I am caught again, then there is a chance to be rescued.
The more I thought about this idea, the more feasible I felt, I leaned into Chu Yan's ear and whispered: "In this way, I'll go out first to lure them away, don't make a movement here, you wait for the police to come over here, understand?" ”
When Chu Yan heard this, she reflexively looked up at me and said resolutely: "No, this is too dangerous, you can't take risks." ”
"But now there is no way, they will come to me immediately, if I don't lead them away, we will both be finished, it is better for you to stay here, we still have hope of being rescued." I patiently said to Chu Yan.
"No, you can't go out, what if they're going to do something to you?"
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, it's the best thing for us." I said anxiously.
Chu Yan still resolutely rejected my idea, I don't understand, when did she think about me so much, she didn't keep saying that she wouldn't let me go, isn't the method I am proposing now just what she wants, and it can save her, and put herself in danger.
She just had to wait here for the rescuer to come, it was a win-win-win thing for her, and she had no reason not to agree.
I listened to the movement of those people coming closer to me, if I didn't go out again, it would be too late, I didn't have time to say more to Chu Yan, I had to stand up with my arms propped up.
When I was about to stand up, my arm tightened and was grabbed, I looked back and found that Chu Yan was holding my arm, and those fox-like eyes were red looking at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, puzzled.
"Lu Yan, don't go." There was a hint of supplication in her words.
I looked at her and was stunned for a moment, is Chu Yan worried about me?
The next second, I felt that this was too hypocritical, and it was not a parting of life and death.
"Okay, don't talk about it, it's too late if you don't go." With that, I pulled her hand off my arm.
"You stay here, and when the people who saved us come, you will bring them to save me, you know?" After I finished instructing, I didn't hesitate, just stood up and ran in the opposite direction.
I didn't have to run long after I got up when the men heard the commotion, and one of them could see me, pointing at my back and shouting, "They're there." With that, he chased in my direction.
The others heard his voice and looked over as well, and when they saw me, they all ran this way.
I don't have any strength in my body anymore, and my legs are a little trembling as I run, but I know that I can't stop at this time, my current position is still too close to Chu Yan, she is not completely out of danger, I have to run forward and lead them a little farther.
I used all my strength to feed, ran in the opposite direction to Chu Yan, and looked back from time to time to make sure that all of them were chasing me.
Despite my best efforts, I was hungry for a few days, and I had already used up my energy before, so I was still caught by them from exhaustion.
I didn't have time to look at the road under my feet, I tripped over the weeds at my feet, stumbled a little, and then the whole person was thrown to the ground by the workers chasing behind me.
My face was buried in the grass, I had no strength, I couldn't get up for a long time, and finally the workers came forward and dragged me up, but a second after I was dragged up, I was pulled by their arms and pressed up.
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
The men were all dressed in rudimentary overalls, and they clung to me tightly, for fear that one of them would slip away again if they didn't notice.
"What are you running?" One of the chubby men asked.
"If you don't chase me, will I run?" I asked rhetorically.
"If you don't run, how can we chase it." The man's chubby face looked serious.
"You're going to get me back, of course I'm going to have to run." I say it as a matter of course.
"Then we'll have to chase you as soon as you run."
"Okay, don't tell him tongue twisters, this kid is deliberately playing tricks on you." The tall and thin man next to the fat brother said.
After hearing this, the fat brother really stopped pressing me, and the tall thin man came up to me and said, "Boy, you can't run away, go back with us obediently." ”
He spoke with a strange accent, I couldn't tell where it was, and the fat guy also had a bit of this accent, and the two should be from the same place.
I saw that they had been holding me, and I had no idea of continuing to run, and besides, I couldn't run even if I wanted to, and this place was some distance from the bush where Chu Yan was squatting, and they all followed, so I breathed a sigh of relief and simply followed them.
When they saw that I was so cooperative, they did not bother me much, but carried me down the same way as I went up.
I hope Chu Yan can get out of danger safely, and then bring someone back to save me, I don't know if she will come to save me after she escapes, I'm not sure.
But I vaguely felt in my heart that Chu Yan would come to save me, obviously we still have some grievances, and I don't understand where my confidence comes from.
The workers escorted me up the hill, presumably to return the way I came, and to take me to the villa.
It was much more strenuous to go up the mountain than to go down, and I had just used up all my strength, and now I couldn't walk after two steps, and I was dragged forward by the two men who were holding me.
"You go quickly, don't grind." My escort dragged me away for a while, and I was a little impatient.
"I can't walk." I said it directly.
"The old man can't walk two steps, you city babies are really squeamish." The man listened.
I almost want to complain in my heart, I have been gone all night, I haven't eaten for three days, and I can't walk even if I'm an iron man.
"Look at the clothes he wears, it's like a cultural person, it's normal for an old man like us to not be able to walk." The other answered.
"Yes, people who read are different, how can they have endured hardships and worked hard."
A few people talked and talked.
"Big brother, you should all be the workers who built that villa." I listened to them chatting and took the opportunity to interject.
They didn't ignore me, they looked at me and said, "Yes, that villa was built by us with all our efforts, what's the matter, you look down on our rough people?" ”
I smiled wryly and said, "Where, that villa is so beautiful, I still envy your good craftsmanship." ”
Listening to my words, the chubby man from before laughed, and he said, "What do we coolies have to envy, you people who wear suits and sit in the office are worthy of envy, the wind can't blow the sun and can't shine." ”
"Alas, big brother, don't look at us on the surface, in fact, life is also stressful, and you have to be suppressed by your boss in the company, and you have to find excuses to deduct your salary at every turn, all for life." I feigned distress and said.
When those people heard this, they also began to discuss.
"Yo, I didn't expect you to have this kind of trouble in the office." Someone asked.
"It's all about working for people, looking at people's faces, how can there be no worries." I said with a sigh.
When they heard it, they all agreed with my words, these people are all workers working in the villa, not people like the manager, to put it bluntly, they were also cheated by the manager, and they were not paid wages, and they used this reason to let them stay and continue to work.
After chatting with them for a few words, I found that these people are quite simple, have no heart, and are honest people who are immersed in their work.
Perhaps, from them, I can escape on my own?
"Big brother, as far as I know, this villa has been built, why are you all still here?" I asked seemingly curiously.
When they heard what I said, their faces were sad, and the fat man said: "Although this villa has been built, we have not received our wages, many of us are from other rural areas, and we have been working for a year or two, and we are embarrassed to go back to see our families if we don't get the money." ”
Although I had heard it from their conversation just now, I still felt a little uncomfortable listening to the fat brother say this.
Seeing that they are not young, two of them are about the same age as my father, and they go out to work hard and have to be cheated by this unscrupulous real estate developer, I am a little angry when I think of this.
They and the unscrupulous manager are not all the way, they are all for the salary, if it weren't for the money, they wouldn't have come to arrest me back, maybe start with them, and they can also fight against the real estate company.
"Big brother, they are maliciously in arrears of wages, why don't you sue them." I thought for a moment and asked.
The person who was holding me before asked curiously, "Sue them and get the money?" ”
"That's right, they are maliciously in arrears of wages, if you don't sue them, they can keep delaying, and in the end, not only will your strength be in vain, you won't get the money, but you have wasted so much time, I advise you to go to the court to sue them." I said with ulterior motives.
"But we don't have much knowledge, we don't even know where the door of the court opens, how can we understand this?" The fat brother asked honestly.
"That's okay, I have a friend who is a lawyer, and I can ask him to help you." I looked at the fat guy and said.
Hearing this, the workers all looked at me and were a little moved by my proposal, and I was about to continue, but the tall and thin man said: "Why do you want to help us for no reason, you are now in our hands, and you are saying these words to help us so that we can let you go, how do we know if you are fooling us." ”
I was dumbfounded by his question, because I said that I wanted to help them, and there was indeed a little reason for this, but I heard them talk about their situation just now, and I really wanted to help them, and by the way, I brought down the owner of the villa.
When they saw that I didn't speak, they thought that I was really fooling them, as the tall and thin man had said, and their faces changed suddenly.
"I said why are you so kind, it turns out that you have another purpose." The man holding me said angrily.
"That's it, and said that the boss fooled us, I don't think you're a good person." Several other people also said unhappily.
I saw that they had a lot of opinions about me, so I quickly explained: "Big brothers, listen to me, I really want to escape from here, but I also really want to help you." ”
When the workers listened to me, they all had skeptical expressions on their faces, as if they did not fully believe me.
"Do you know why they locked me up there, just to prevent me from going out and demolishing them, otherwise why are they so afraid of me running away, I go out and expose what they did, and they won't dare to owe you wages, no matter what, it's also true that you didn't get the wages you deserve, are you willing to be fooled by them all the time?" I tried my best to convince them.
A few workers, you look at me, I look at you, and they have no opinions, and then several people look at the tall and thin man together, as if to listen to his opinion.
