Chapter 21 Windfall
"Oops, could it be that Chai Laosan thought why he didn't give me the picture." Xia Ye suddenly thought of this question, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, she felt that she couldn't wait for the timing of what Cen Qiang said.
"We're going to find a way to escape." Why not do you do it on a summer night?
"Run?" Why didn't he seem to have heard something funny, and couldn't help laughing, but unexpectedly pulled the iron hook on the pipa bone, and suddenly grinned in pain.
"Well deserved." Xia Ye scolded softly, and then Gu Zi raised the fire fold and shone at the two huge iron hooks, and found that there were two holes in the iron hooks, and there were two big copper locks, no wonder he couldn't take them off He Buwei's shoulder just now, it turned out that the problem was here, and I also understood why Cen Qiang wanted to ask her for help.
"Why not, if you don't want to die here, just cooperate with me obediently." Xia Ye felt that although these two locks were more complicated than those in the previous prison, they were also a piece of cake for her, and what she was most worried about at the moment was why not wei's attitude.
But at this time, why not, seeing that Xia Ye was very persistent, he couldn't help but be a little moved, but he muttered in his mouth: "This is what you want to save me, he doesn't owe you a favor, don't expect me to hand over the treasure map." β
Xia Ye was a little angry, and he choked with a blank look: "You can rest assured, I also have a life flower." β
Why don't you think that what she said is in case the escape fails, and only Summer Night understands that her life has already entered the countdown.
Seeing that He Buwei's tone slowed down, Xia Ye started to untie the iron hook again, this time because of the lighting of the fire fold, and He Buwei's cooperation, although it took some effort, Xia Ye finally unloaded him from the hook. Because it had been some time, why not because the flesh and blood on his body were stuck together with the hook, and when he tore it off, he fainted in pain, but fortunately there was no heavy bleeding.
Summer Night carefully lowered He Buwei to the ground, then tore the hem of his clothes into several strips of cloth and bandaged his wound briefly.
Why don't you wake up after a while in a daze, and find that the shackles on your body have been removed, and you can't help but smile miserably.
He was just about to speak when he heard a voice coming from the mouth of the cave.
"Boss, be careful."
"Someone's coming." The two hurriedly glanced at each other, and the summer night blew out the fire fold, pasted it to the entrance, and secretly opened the thread of the copper snake silk bracelet in his hand.
Why don't you roll to a darker corner because you are too weak.
Xia Ye hid aside, so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he felt that the line of the copper snake bracelet was almost ungraspable, at this moment, a torch stretched out from the hole, and then a head was revealed at the entrance of the cave, Xia Ye saw that this person was Chai Laosan, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he flew up before he was prepared, and desperately took the copper snake's thread to wrap around his neck. It's a pity, maybe it's too nervous, she didn't tie his neck, Chai Laosan's head is crooked, the snake line slides, she has to wrap around his arm, the thread of the copper snake winding silk bracelet doesn't know what material is made of, it's really tough and sharp, Xia Ye used the strength of milk to strangle him, Chai Laosan screamed in pain, and the torch in his hand also fell to the ground, Xia Ye wanted to take the opportunity to wrap his neck for the second time, and then two beggars rushed out of the hole, they rushed to help, although they didn't know it, but they made a mess, inadvertently untied the snake thread trapped on Chai Laosan's arm, and as soon as he was free, he drilled out of the hole without looking back, for fear that if he ran slower, he would be entangled in something.
In the swaying firelight, Xia Ye caught a glimpse of half of Chai Laosan's arm was already drenched in blood, and it seemed that the injury was not light, and there was some evil anger in his heart.
When the two beggars saw that the boss had run away, they also fled while fighting, and Summer Night picked up the torches that had fallen on the ground and chased them, but after all they were a step too late, and the three of them had already climbed up to the mouth of the well and removed the ladder.
Summer Night stomped her feet hatefully, but there was nothing she could do.
"The stinky girl doesn't want to live anymore, you go get some firewood, I'm going to burn them." Chai Laosan was plotted, his arm was almost strangled, and he almost became a one-armed man, and he fainted in anger.
"Chai Laosan, are you really planning to burn us? Oh, alas, you'll never know the whereabouts of that treasure map. β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chai Laosan seemed to be eager to jump down and cover Xia Ye's mouth, so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth at the mouth of the well.
Xia Ye understood at a glance that he was hiding the treasure from his subordinates. It just so happened that she was going to make things bigger, so she pretended not to hear Chai Laosan's words, and continued to her own thoughts: "Alas, Chai Gang Master, that's a huge fortune, you have to think clearly." Do you not want to live in a big house, and you don't want to have a horde of servants waiting for you? Don't you want to have endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, endless silk and satin, and not enough glory and wealth? It only takes a fire to burn us, but those glorious and rich days are also burned by you. You can only be the leader of the food gang for the rest of your life, are you willing? β
Before Chai Laosan could speak, the pockmarks and bamboo poles beside him shouted in a fuss: "Treasure! Helper, is there really one? β
"Stinky girl, do you know where the treasure map is? Hand it over, and I'll spare you from death. Since it was broken by Xia Ye, Chai Laosan didn't hide it, he threw himself at the mouth of the well, and talked to Xia Ye in a hoarse voice.
"Chai Gang Master, if you want a treasure map, show your sincerity, such coercion and temptation, it is difficult to be convincing."
"Hmph, then you guys just stay down there!" Chai Laosan was so angry that he scolded, and the treasure map was exposed, which made him very angry. He originally did this very secretively, but unexpectedly was accidentally overheard by the kid of the snake boy, and finally half threatened and half frightened him to keep the secret, thinking that he was not afraid that more of him would know, not to mention that he planned to kill him unknowingly in the future. It's good now, being yelled at by this stinky girl, there are two more mouths to cover, and if this continues, the secret of the treasure is not yet known.
"Don't mention the treasure map to others, or be careful of your dog's life." Although Chai Laosan became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, he still planned to cover it up as much as possible, so he threatened the two of them fiercely.
"Rest assured, my pockmarks are absolutely tight-lipped. If I say it, it will make my whole body pockmarked and rotten sores, and rot to death. "Mazi is busy showing her loyalty.
"Me too, me too." Bamboo poles are not very good at talking, but they are also anxious to show their attitude.
"Hmph. Remember your own words. β
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Go find a stone slab to cover the mouth of the well, don't stay here, it will arouse suspicion."
After a while, the sky above my head was obscured.
Knowing that they were safe for the time being, Summer Night turned around and returned to the cave, intending to discuss countermeasures with him. Unexpectedly, after going back to the stone cave, she found that it was strangely quiet, she hurriedly took a picture with a torch, and saw that why not move his face towards the cave wall, and turned him around and found a face of blood, Xia Ye was so frightened that he probed under his nose with his hand, and found that there was still breathing, so he was relieved, it seems that he rolled too hard just now and hit the sharp stone, knocking himself unconscious.
The brightness of the torches was much better than that of the fire folds, and there was nothing to do anyway, and the summer night began to look at the cave, wondering if another way out was found.
This stone cave seems to be built by man with stones, in an arc shape, and after looking at it, I found that the only exit seems to be the crossing road leading to the dry well. Just when she was a little discouraged, suddenly a sharp gust of wind blew the fire on the torch violently and shook violently.
She hurriedly protected the fire with her hands, thinking to herself that such a semi-enclosed place was like a wine gourd, and the wind from outside could not blow in, unless there was a leak somewhere in the cave.
"It seems that there really may be another way!" This discovery made Xia Ye feel good, and felt that the two of them had more hope of escaping. So she held the torch and pressed it almost tightly against the cave wall, trying to find the location of the outlet.
Slowly, she came to the place where she had been hanging, and as the torch swept over her head, the flames suddenly trembled, as if an invisible hand was pulling at it.
"There's a door." Summer Night's heart was beating with excitement, and she lifted her toes slightly, and when she looked into the wind, she saw a hole just big enough for a slender mouse to pass through. She put her ears to them, and felt that there seemed to be an empty place behind her, and she could hear the whimper of the wind, but when she put her eyes up to look, she found that it was dark behind her, and she couldn't find anything at all.
But instead of feeling annoyed, Summer Night only strengthened her confidence that there might be a secret door here.
So she held the torch in one hand, and caressed the wall of the cave in front of her with the other almost inch by inch, believing that if there was a mechanism, it would definitely not be far from the secret door. Sure enough, her hand touched a stone that was building a wall, and it moved lightly as her hand stroked it, and she sensitively caught it.
Summer Night hurriedly pulled the stone outward, and found that it was loosening more and more, and she shook it harder, like shaking a tooth that was about to fall out. Finally, suddenly her hand suddenly loosened, a stone with a flat front end and some dirt was dug down, she threw it on the ground, with the lesson of being bitten by a snake last time, she first raised the torch and shone it in, faintly found that there seemed to be something inside, wrapped in a pile and didn't know what it was, she picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it in, there was no movement, she felt that it should be safe, so she reached in, this time it was easy to take out the thing.
Entering was a piece of clothing, dark linen fabric, looking at the style worn by men, she shook it up, but suddenly a cloth shirt with red flowers on a white background suddenly fell from it, and at the same time she heard a crisp sound of 'Ding Ling Danglang', and she picked up something similar to a ring, but it was thicker than the average one.
Xia Ye put the ring on the index finger, opened the cloth shirt, and found that the red was not a pattern, but a word, a careful look at the color of the word, it was clearly written with blood, and I was a little frightened in my heart, and I hurriedly glanced at it a few times, it turned out to be about the kung fu of the point technique, and slowly I was a little fascinated, for some reason, she had a familiar and intimate feeling of the handwriting on it. Just as she was about to look closer, she heard a muffled cough from Ho Buwei, who was lying on the groundβhe was awake. She hurriedly put the white shirt into her arms, and then lowered her head to see why he was not doing anything.
"What do you think?" She asked.
"Ahem, oops, someone's coming!" His mind was still fragmented, and he sat up nervously.
"They're gone." Summer Night comforted him.
Why not look at Xia Ye in a trance, slowly, his eyes moistened, his nostrils opened and closed uncontrollably exaggeratedly, suddenly turned his head, and said dumbly: "My daughter, if she is still alive, she should ......"
Summer Night thought to herself: I should be my age!
"It should be as big as you, so big."
I almost fell on a summer night.
"She's dead?" Summer Night also asked out of concern.
Unexpectedly, why not for it was like being bitten, Wow Wow screamed, turned his head, and his two bloodshot eyes glared at Xia Ye viciously and roared: "She is not dead, why do you say that she is dead, what is your intention." As he spoke, he almost stretched out his hand to pinch Xia Ye's neck, but fortunately, his body was weak, and he fell down halfway through the road.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Ah, hahaha, I hurt her, it's me! I don't deserve to be her father. Why don't you wail unprepared, that kind of heart-wrenching look is very unbearable, but Xia Ye doesn't know how to comfort him. But he suddenly raised his tearful face, looked at Xia Ye like a helpless child, and said, "Do you think I am really so rare in those treasures, at this time, if you can let me see her, even if I am willing to die immediately." It's just that I owe her so much, and I must find a treasure to give her, and this is the only thing I can do for her, not to ask for her forgiveness, but to be able to make amends. β
Summer Night didn't know what had happened to his daughter, but he could hear something about it, probably he had done something that his daughter couldn't forgive, and then avoided him, he was going to look for her everywhere alive or dead, and wanted to make up for her with a great treasure.
"You're a good father." This is the words in Xia Ye's heart, if she has such a father who is willing to pay for her, she will wake up with a smile in her dreams.
"I'm not! I'm not! Not only am I not a good father, but I am not a good husband, you don't understand, you don't understand at all! "Why don't you go crazy again all of a sudden?
Xia Ye looked at him, and suddenly felt a sadness, but this sadness was more for herself, her father knew the pain she had experienced for so many years, but why not cry with guilt when he thought of her like this.
"You're thinking too much, you're an abandoned summer night!" This thought made the summer night instantly harder.
"Alright, stop screaming! Do you want to die here and never see your daughter again? Summer Night roared, her voice splitting.
Why don't you look up at her, there is a trace of trepidation in your eyes.
