Chapter 170: Salvation

The light emitted by the flashlight was like the sun to me now, and I couldn't fully open my eyes, and although I could see someone crawling out of the hole in the earthen wall, I couldn't see who it was.

I subconsciously squeezed the stick in my hand tightly, and at the same time, Lao Wang was also in front of Zhang Momo and Ning Xiaomei, there was no other weapon available in the tunnel, Lao Wang was in a hurry, and bent down to grab a bowl for eating.

The shadow in the hole crawled very quickly and with great agility, and by the time I squeezed the stick, the other man had already come out of the hole and jumped to the ground.

The light of the flashlight flickered back and forth, and my vision became clearer, and at this time, I recognized at a glance that the person who crawled out of the hole in the earthen wall turned out to be a blind man, the blind man who had once guarded the abyss.

I once guessed that the blind man should be Lu Fangding's person, just because Lu Fangding's manpower is tight now, so the last time I was on the way back from the Huyang River, the blind man helped me repel Zhao Sanyuan's people. I haven't seen a blind man since, and I didn't expect that the blind man would appear in this way at this time.

"You ......" I knew that the blind man must not be hostile, and the stick in his hand suddenly loosened.

"Let's go." The blind man could not see anything, but his ears seemed to be better than his eyes, and when I had said a word, he heard my voice, threw up his hand and threw me the flashlight, turned and climbed into the hole in the earthen wall.

It dawned on me that the blind man must have come to my rescue. He doesn't use a flashlight at all, it's just a flashlight for us.

I did not hesitate, although I did not know the blind man well, and this was the third time I had seen him, but I had an indescribable awe and an indescribable trust in this blind man. I knew that he was Lu Fangding's person, but I always felt that the blind man was more reliable than Lu Fangding, so I didn't say anything, followed the blind man into the hole, and at the same time turned around and waved at Lao Wang and them, signaling them to follow.

"We? Just crawl out? Lao Wang didn't know the bottom of his heart, and asked in the back: "Can you climb out?" ”

"It's already this time, so don't be verbose yet."

The blind man crawled very quickly in front, and behind the hole was a narrow passage that could only be crawled by one person. The passage was so narrow that he couldn't even stretch his waist, so he could only crawl forward with his hands and feet. With the flashlight, I can see the surrounding situation clearly, and I found that this passage should have just been dug up.

The blind man led the way without saying a word, and we had to do everything we could to keep up with him. After just climbing like this for a while, I probably have a count, the tunnels lead in all directions, and if you have the right tools, you can waste some time and energy, and you can slowly dig a passage.

I saw a "three-leaf tree" on the blind man's body, which is a tool specially used to dig holes, and if the manpower using the tool is large enough, then the three-leaf is definitely a sharp weapon for digging holes. I heard people say that the people who used to go down to the pit to find goods in the ancient line did not leave the three leaves, and if they were used properly, they could dig a thief hole more than ten meters long in one night.

The blind man led us to climb for a while, and then he moved from the hole he had just dug to the original tunnel, zigzagged for a while, and then re-burrowed into the narrow hole, and went back and forth a few times, and I was completely confused.

"You are? Did you dig a hole? ”

"Hmm." The blind man has always cherished words like gold, and if he can not talk nonsense, then he will not say a word more.

"How long have you been digging?" I observed the situation around me, and I felt that although the blind man had used the existing tunnels and dug to the place where we were trapped, these narrow passages could never be dug out in a day or two.

"A month."

"A month?" I froze for a moment, but soon understood that the blind man was probably preparing to save the three of them, and he had long known that the old king was trapped in this place, but there must be people around him who were secretly guarding day and night, and the blind man was not 100% sure, so he didn't dare to fight hard, and he didn't hesitate to spend a month digging a passage that could get out.

What does this mean? This shows that after Lao Wang and them came back to life, the blind man may know their whereabouts.

"I'll ask you something." As I followed the blind man outside, I asked, "Who detained us here?" ”

The blind man didn't answer, but crawled forward vigorously, and I asked again, but still didn't get any answer. What the blind man doesn't want to say, it's useless for me to ask.

Later, I can't remember how far I climbed with twists and turns. The passage in front of me had changed, it was wider than before, and I could straighten up, and by the light of the flashlight, I could see that the passage had come to an end, and at the end there was a wooden ladder.

The blind man climbed up the ladder and asked me to turn off the flashlight without looking back, and I thought we might be on the verge of reaching the ground.

Sure enough, after climbing up the ladder, I saw a bright moonlight. The exit is in the corner of a yard that has been abandoned for a long time. After climbing for so long, we are actually still in Wacun.

"You go ahead and lead the way." The blind man turned his face sideways and explained to me: "Go out and turn left, diagonally opposite the fourth courtyard." ”

The blind man's eyes are useless after all, and in the middle of the night like this, there is no superfluous sound, and his hearing is not advantageous. I ran to the front and looked around. There was a dead silence in the village, and I found that we were now on the east side of the village, estimated to be only thirty or forty meters away from where I had fallen ten days earlier.

I turned back to Lao Wang and the others, and told them to be absolutely quiet, and then, as the blind man had said, I ran gently to the fourth courtyard diagonally opposite.

The courtyard has been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard gate has collapsed in half, and through the collapsed courtyard gate, I saw that there seemed to be a pigsty in the yard, and there were several people squatting in the pigsty.

My head dizzy, and I subconsciously wanted to retract my head. But the blind man patted me in the back and said, "Don't you plan to bring back those people you brought?" ”

As soon as the blind man said this, I realized that it might be that a few of them were staying here.

I trotted all the way through the gate and rushed straight to the pigsty. As soon as the distance was close, I saw Yuan Sihai and the people he was carrying at the time, squatting honestly in the pigsty one by one.

In the past ten days, these people have become like Hanako, who is fleeing from the famine and begging for food, and they are embarrassed. They crouched on the ground, each with a small bowl on their heads.

"Lao Yuan?" I shouted softly, but Yuan Sihai didn't respond, I quickly lay down in front of him and patted him, however, Yuan Sihai didn't even move, I found that his eyes were very dull, and he looked stupid.

The rest of the people were the same as the original four seas, they were tied together by a broken hemp rope, as if they could not see anything, hear nothing.

"Take down the broken bowl from their heads, and don't throw it away, keep it." The blind man admonished, "Pull the rope and take them away now." ”

I don't know exactly what this is all about, but since the blind man said so, he must have a point. I gently put away the broken bowls on the heads of several people, and then took off my clothes and put them inside. Pull up the rope on the ground and pull it hard.

These men were completely like the walking dead, and as soon as the broken bowl on their heads was taken off, they were a little better, and I pulled the rope and walked out, and they followed one by one.

"Bypassing from the west, there is a path, and there is no one there, so you can go down the mountain." The blind man may be familiar with the terrain here, and he can't see with his eyes, but he remembers the route by heart.

I handed the rope to Lao Wang and asked him to pull Yuan Sihai and them, while I ran to the front to lead the way. From the west to the end, there is an overgrown path, which seems to have been untraveled for a few days.

Following this path, it leads to the way down the mountain. We walked the mountain road once, and I probably remember it.

There was no one on the road, but they had no sense of autonomy at all, and when they walked on such a mountain road, they had to wrestle at every turn. Several people were tied to a rope, one fell, and the rest fell in a hurry. The trail was supposed to take less than two hours to complete, but we were dragged down by the men, and it took us four hours before we reached the base of the mountain.

"Across the road at the foot of the mountain, next to a grove, there's a car." The blind man said to me, "Go away." ”

"Our car is still hidden nearby......"

"Do you want a car or a life."

I didn't refute the blind man, it was fortunate that I was able to escape at this point, and it was a bit unwise to still struggle with wanting to drive my car back. As long as you can escape, you can send someone to pick up the car.

"Let's go together." I want the blind man to go with him, this blind man definitely knows a lot of things, and I would love to talk to him.

"You go quickly, if something really happens, you won't be able to leave if you want to."

I have no choice, the blind man's task may be to save us, and as soon as we are saved, his task will be completed, and he will never say anything more to me.

"Did the master call you?" I asked tentatively, "He knows we're stuck here?" ”

"After you go back, go find Aunt Hua immediately." The blind man didn't answer my question, and said to himself: "These people can only be rescued by Aunt Hua, if it's late, it may be too late." When you find her, show her the bowls and she'll understand. ”
