Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Call for Help

Xiao Liu faced the slanting sunset and ran quickly in the direction of the town. Turning out of the gloomy earth, he encountered one turn after another, which made him feel like he was erecting a locomotive on a wide road.

What excites him even more is not only the joy of returning to the ground, but the excitement above this is that he finally has the opportunity to get close to exerting his residual warmth, like a smaller sun. He stopped panting, his face burning from the sun shining across the slopes and hills.

Call.

Xiao Liu's heart was in ecstasy, if it weren't for his physical exhaustion, he might not have been able to control his urge to dance on tiptoe. From the direction where the sun was shining, he saw towering heads moving.

At this time, Xiao Liu noticed that the exit of the culvert was not far from the direction of the market, and if the gang of sharks searched in this direction, it would be much faster than them crawling underground, not to mention that even if they crawled through the rope along the sewer to find themselves, it would not take much effort.

Xiao Liu gradually slowed down, and his little head was full of doubts at this time. So he didn't quicken his pace, but on the contrary, his pace slowed down a little, and he avoided the main road and headed in the direction of the town from the sideways, realizing that something was wrong.

The side road is actually a muddy path that dots the bushes near the village and town, and is less well known. Xiao Liu burrowed through the weedy forest and poked his head out of the mound, stunned by the scene in front of him.

The impression should be that it is a bustling market, but it is unusually quiet.

The bazaar, which stretches from the town to the coast, has never been quieter. Xiao Liu could almost hear the wind blowing suddenly, and the messy plastic paper bags on the ground, the net ropes that tied the fish, and even the paving and fishing gear that had not had time to be collected rolled down to the stone brick paved ground.

Xiao Liu jumped out suddenly, barefoot, all the way bumpy across the bottom of the broken glass slag, Xiao Liu cautiously came to the center of the market, from here you can still smell the familiar fishy smell, but compared to the market atmosphere mixed with human voices, now this is bleak, which makes Xiao Liu's heart quite uncomfortable.

He walked along the main road in the direction of the town, and the closer he got to it, the more solemn this silent atmosphere of solemnity became, pressing on Xiao Liu's shoulders and back, and with each step, Xiao Liu's breathing and heartbeat climbed violently.

Call.

Xiao Liu's hand pressed on his heart, and the thumping beat made his palm feel the impact directly. He dragged his tired body and walked forward step by step, the air filled with a strange atmosphere, which made him more and more cautious.

The town simply hides all the noise it should have, and from a distance, from the first quaint stone house to the bamboo house not too far away, there seems to be endless noise hidden behind every building.

As if walking in the jungle of fierce beasts, Xiao Liu felt an inexplicable cicada chirp in his ears.

He swallowed his saliva, the stalls around him all reflected the atmosphere of panic, the paving position was messy, the water stains and the blood of the organs were sticking and spilling all over the ground, as soon as Xiao Liu's feet stepped on it, the thick stinky smell rolled into the air, making him can't help but choke violently.

Smoke?

Xiao Liu realized that something was wrong, he sped up, and before he entered the town, he was dumbfounded.

A group of tall figures with backs like steel-like forests stood in front of Xiao Liu's eyes.

is the same as the uniform worn by the third brother just now, Xiao Liu recognized the identity of these backs at first glance. So according to the policeman just now, this

Did some of them drop by?

Xiao Liu covered his mouth, the smell of smoke was like a sharp knife, opening a long gap in his mouth and nose, the spicy and pungent taste made his tears roll down one by one, and the sweat on his neck also steamed.

Xiao Liu didn't know what the reason for this thick smoke was, but his intuition told him that these eerie backs, black uniforms and jackets with big "police" and numbers written on them, made him feel deep fear.

Xiaoliu was a little overwhelmed, but the quiet atmosphere suddenly disappeared.

"Hand it over." A calm and muffled voice shouted, and for a moment the still and heavy air flowed, and a huge chain reaction erupted.

Immediately after, Xiaoliu heard a sob.

There was a thud in his head, and he suddenly felt something collapse in his mind. It was a familiar voice to him, and if I heard it right, it came from the brothers with whom he spent his days and nights.

Xiao Liu secretly made up his mind, he leaned tightly against the heavy stone wall, poked his head out, and the corner of the afterglow quietly swept over, and he saw his brothers who were either unconscious or sobbing and slumping on the ground.

He covered his mouth and nose tightly, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

The police team surrounded someone, and the little six heads were too short to see anything clearly, so they could only listen to the sound with their ears pricked up.

The questioning must have been made by the police, and it looked as if they were interrogating someone. Xiao Liu had some thoughts in his heart, and two impulses appeared in his body, one was to rush out like this, as long as he explained what he knew to these policemen, and wanted to say the same as the one who was alone on the beach, they should not embarrass themselves.

But another impulse was trying to restrain his own behavior, because there was a doubt in his mind that could not be explained, and he did not dare to act rashly.

What he didn't understand was what this twisted weeping was.

The police are coming, aren't they? Xiao Liu's eyes widened, and he could barely see anything from behind the gloomy steel forest.

"Don't, don't." A weak, timid voice came from the center of the police crowd, twisted and cried. Xiaoliu can determine that this must be the "bad guy" that the police are about to arrest.

"Please...... Am I really, who can confess, haven't I confessed? As soon as his words fell, his voice was cut off, and suddenly a sharp scream came out.

At first, Xiao Liu thought it was the sound of a donkey being kicked in the ass, but after a while, the painful moans of twisting his teeth and rubbing came from the center of the crowd, and he realized that this was an "interrogation" with thorns on the boots of a certain policeman.

But this kind of knowledge, he had only heard of it, and it was impossible for him to see it with his own eyes like this, and with this terrible moan, the cry sounded from behind the police regiment.

"Shut up." There were voices from the police again. "Damn, I didn't mention it, where are so many little kids here."

"Less nonsense, it's all about doing what you're told." The other voice was more composed.

"This guy won't say." Xiao Liu listened to the constant mournful sound in the still air, followed by a few muffled sounds of leather, Xiao Liu covered his belly.

For some reason, he was all too familiar with the sound.

Are the police violent? Xiao Liu's mind came to mind the third brother by the sea, and he thought of Feng Yuan again. But no matter what, he couldn't connect Feng Yuan's sunny and lively face with the cold and terrifying feeling he felt now.

Xiaoliu concentrated, followed

Listening to it, the hapless "bad guy" in the police center seemed to be convinced.

"Don't, don't! I confess, confess! What do you have to know? His voice was distorted.

"What's the garlic in it? The evidence is here, and how many times will it be repeated? "The police brought out a man." Do you want me to teach you how to explain? ”

"In the fish, in the fish!" The sound sounded almost completely broken.

"The goods are all in the swim bladder of the fish belly, a lot, this time it's all, I beg for mercy, I beg for mercy, you can do well, let me go."

There was no immediate response from the police. It seems that the search for this batch of "goods" has begun. The groping sound that Xiao Liu could hear, and whether it was the urging sound from the police.

"Fool, hurry up." It sounds like they're in a hurry. After a while, it looked like they had found quite a bit of the goods, and it wasn't long before the police stopped their operations.

"That's all?" It's still a question, but at this time, their tone is less anxious and impatient, and more greedy.

"It's gone." The "bad guy" is quite frustrated, and it seems that he doesn't have much energy to lie, and Xiao Liu can almost imagine such a picture in his mind.

"The mouth is hard enough." The clicking sound, which seemed to be the sound of a metal gun, Xiao Liu didn't know what was going on, but the next exclamation of the "bad guy" made him understand what was going on.

"What the hell are you trying to do, what do you mean?" The tone of the "bad guy" suddenly hardened.

"Nothing, just wanted to ask a few small questions. Seeing that you are so honest and cooperating with the police to investigate the case, no comment. The policeman's voice sounded a little playful.

"Police? Bah. "Badass," yelled at the top of his voice. Lao Tzu has never seen such an interrogation, what? Put this thing in Lao Tzu's mouth, and shoot it if you have it. ”

Bang.

It was such a loud bang that made Xiao Liu really realize something. His tears welled up with his snot, but he didn't know if it was the billowing smoke or the loud roar that made him weep.

"." The voice of the "bad guy" let out a deadly roar, scolding the ancestors of the police for eighteen generations one after another, but the voice was intercepted again, and even the sobbing seemed to stop abruptly.

"Say it again, say it again." There was a crunch in the hands of the policemen, and the guns were loaded. "Where do you want to make a hole next time?"

“…… What do you want to ask? The voice of the "badass" was muffled.

There seemed to erupt in laughter from the police team, followed by a few foul mockery.

"Explain early, suffer less." The police advised "kindly".

Xiao Liu didn't know what this "goods" meant, but he always felt that it must be something bad, listening to the confrontation and exchange between the two parties, and interrogating the confession of the "bad guy" little by little, Xiao Liu's head was full of hesitation and doubt.

He didn't feel any joy at all.

Police, is that it?

Xiao Liu's small palm clenched the stone wall tightly, and the gravel powder on the wall fell down the palm. For some reason, Xiao Liu's heart has a reluctant emotion, which has been haunting his heart.

Knock knock. Knock knock.

His heart began to beat wildly in response to this scene, and he clung to the corner and continued to listen.

"You've seen this man." The officer asked.

“…… You guys. The "badass" tone sounded shocking. Where are you the police force? ”

He roared vigilantly.
