Chapter 402: The Last Chance
I thought that Bandaca would not come back, but I couldn't say it clearly, for fear that it would cause Lao Wang and their mood to change. I didn't know what to do now, but after waiting for a long time on the edge of the small valley, my premonition became more and more real.
Bandacado won't be coming back, what the hell is wrong with him? Could it be that he left us alone as Lao Wang said?
But I don't believe that Bandacsaddo will give up looking for his homeland and people, and his expression in that huge ball of light is still fresh in my memory. That kind of expression is an expression that would rather give up one's life to achieve one's goal.
While I was thinking nonsense, Lao Wang said don't stay here, we have to go. There are enemies all around, and there is always a danger of being spotted.
Lao Wang's words are not unreasonable, our current situation is embattled. Speaking of this, Lao Wang began to mumble again, probably complaining that Bandacsaddo had brought us here and left us alone.
I have a headache, as soon as Bandaca disappears, now it is equivalent to a complete lack of decision, whether to continue to stay and wait for him, or to transfer decisively, but no matter what you do, it is full of dangers.
We discussed it for a long time, but neither of us knew what to do next. In the end, Lao Wang's anger became bigger and bigger, and he stood up and pulled Ning Xiaomei and Zhang Momo away. I stopped them and asked them where they were going. Lao Wang even said that he told me that even if he returned to Bath now, it would be better than staying here.
My physical strength may really fail, and I can't stop Lao Wang. But I know Lao Wang's temperament, he doesn't think about the consequences when his brain is hot, and now he leaves here in a hurry, and the possibility of returning to Bath by the same way is very small. I tried my best to drag Lao Wang's clothes, hoping that he would be more sensible. Between the two sides, my feet slipped, and I was thrown by Lao Wang again, rolling down the slope at the edge of the small valley.
The slope is not long, only less than ten meters, and even so, it is still a lot of meat and eight vegetables for me. Lao Wang probably felt that he was too reckless, so he hurriedly came down to pull me, and when he arrived, my face changed. I saw a group of soldiers in the distance, maybe a hundred or ten of them, already aware of the movement.
Once found in such a place, there is no possibility of escape. A hundred and ten people flocked to it, and Lao Wang helped me run not far before I was surrounded by a group.
I would have Bandar Kyaw, but with so many people around, I had no room for resistance. Lao Wang still wanted to struggle, but he didn't struggle twice, and he was held down to death.
After these people surrounded us, some people opened their mouths to question loudly, and none of the four of us answered, Lao Wang, they probably didn't want to answer, I didn't understand. I found that the other party's attention was focused on me, Lao Wang's outfit was very common, only my appearance made people feel weird. After receiving no answer, we were taken to a distance of about seven or eight kilometers.
It was a sheltered col, and I saw many tents, and four men were tied up in strong knots, and they were thrown in a corner of the tent. After a while, someone came over and continued to inquire that this person should have some status, and that he spoke in a milder tone, and that he had been brought a little water and food.
The man had a conversation with Lao Wang, and then left. He was asking Lao Wang about the situation of Zhangxiong, all the cities of Zhangxiong, as well as the army and the people, disappeared overnight, which made the Tubo people very puzzled.
Lao Wang didn't answer why, and the other party didn't embarrass us anymore, but just held us back. The four of us muttered for a while, and couldn't think of any good way to do it for the time being.
The three of them may be fine, but the more I think about it, the colder it becomes. This time it was equivalent to a complete separation from Bandacsado, and even if he could return to the small valley, he would lose the opportunity to get in touch. I'm being held here, I don't know when I'm going to leave, and if the other party keeps holding on to it, it's terrible.
In the years of war and chaos, human life is like a mustard, and there is no other way but to wait.
I've been observing the situation around me, and there should be more than one road in the entire col, but there are a lot of soldiers cruising back and forth, which means that there are no dead ends. My Banda Jue can't deal with so many people, and it will only come in handy when there are few guards. However, we must ensure that we can avoid all the patrolling soldiers and find a safe way out of the col. If you are caught and caught in the middle of the escape, it is equivalent to cutting off all hope of escape, so you must wait patiently for the most suitable opportunity.
I had been held here for two days, and I could not find a suitable opportunity, and in the middle of the night, although there were not many soldiers on patrol, if there was an accident and alarmed other people, it would be troublesome. The lives of four people are in my hands, and I dare not be careless. There were probably two good chances to take the plunge, but I was determined to take the risk, and I was thinking that if Bandacsada was here, it would be enough to take that opportunity.
Where the hell did he go? Why did he never come back? I kept thinking about this question, but I couldn't get an answer.
On the third day, Lao Wang was taken away alone. It may have been three or four hours before he came back, and when Lao Wang came back, his face was full of red light, the corners of his mouth were oily, and it seemed that he had eaten a good meal. He was taken away, but he was still interrogated, and the other party had a kind attitude, did not embarrass Lao Wang, and entertained him with delicious food and drink.
At the same time, Lao Wang also told me that the other party asked me where I came from.
"I told him, you're from Datang." Lao Wang grinned, and even said with a gesture: "If you want to trap me, there is no way." ”
I knew that my current appearance alone was enough to attract everyone's attention, but Lao Wang told the other party that I did not understand the language with them, and it was very troublesome to ask, so the other party temporarily dismissed the idea of interrogating me.
But this is not a very good sign, I guess there are no people in their garrison who know the language of the mainland, and the more this happens, the more they will not let me go, at least until all my origins are known.
I was thinking about it, and Lao Wang said to us again that the army stationed in this col was about to be drawn out. They would send a lot of people every day to inquire about the news, and for several days, there were no male witnesses, and the camp of the original Zhangxiong garrison was also empty, and the Tibetan army was ready to continue to go deeper.
When Lao Wang told us the news, he didn't react much, but as soon as I heard it, my head went big. The people here are going to pull it out, and they don't know exactly where it will go, and if they still hold us back, it will be a big trouble.
Sure enough, that afternoon, I found that the camp in the col had begun to pack up and prepare for the journey, and it would be early tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and it would definitely leave the col in the evening. In other words, the only chance to escape is tonight, at most plus the night after tomorrow, if you still can't go, it is estimated that you will never be able to go.
I told the three of them my plan to escape today, and I had to find an opportunity no matter what. Escaped, and perhaps a glimmer of life, has been detained here, and the consequences are unpredictable. Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten didn't have any opinions, and Lao Wang was muttering about the chances of escaping.
I was very anxious, but I still had to stay calm, even get some sleep, and make sure I had enough energy. My own condition may be getting worse, not only because of my lack of energy, but also because of my physical condition, and I feel sick all over my body. This situation makes me a little pessimistic, and sooner or later I will have to follow the path of monkey Dajue. What's more, I don't have the same profound spiritual realm as Monkey Dajue, and I may not last long.
The four of us had a good rest in the afternoon, and in the evening, the camp was still busy, and there was a shortage of supplies on the plateau, so everything was packed up and taken away. Dinner was very simple, and after eating, I kept observing the situation around me. After so many days of investigation, there have been no male witnesses, there must be some slackness here, plus the camp is busy, there are many fewer patrols than before.
It was getting dark, the camp was almost packed, and most of the people were resting separately for the next day's long journey. I observed for two hours, and the patrol was on the same route and frequency as in the previous days, except that the number of people was smaller, from a group of ten to a group of five. Moreover, the Tibetan soldiers in charge of patrolling were not as cautious as a few days ago, probably knowing that there would be no accidents, so the patrol was just a matter of coping and in a hurry.
This is a great opportunity and it has to be seized. I looked at a tent not far away where miscellaneous items were piled up, and Lao Wang said that after the things we were carrying were searched, they were all left there, and it was very difficult to escape and get them back. Lao Wang doesn't care, his things are useless anyway, but once I lose a lot of my things, it will be a pity.
Lao Wang patted me on the shoulder, sighed, and told me by gesture that if something is lost, it will be lost, and if it is lost, it will not be recovered.
I smiled bitterly, for the time being, that's all I can do.
We made all the preparations and waited until the night was completely late and most of us were asleep. I calculated the time and pattern of the appearance of the patrol, and when the patrol passed through here, I walked out of the tattered tent with Lao Wang and the three of them.
We had to go around the tent, and stick to the edge of the col until we were four or five hundred meters from here, where there was a path out of the col, which was very difficult to walk, so there were not many people guarding the path, only two or three, and I could handle it.
I took a deep breath, the patrol was already far away, and it was up to me to make or break it.
Just as we were about to get around the back of the tent, I suddenly saw a Tibetan soldier coming out of nowhere, and the other party must have seen us and walked straight this way. The four of us suddenly became nervous and embarrassed, I was only afraid that Lao Wang's mouth was too stupid, and he would show his bottom when he was interrogated.
