Chapter 135: The Hunt Begins
The four people who learned that Pang Guangliang and Ma Xiaoqian were missing immediately set off to look for traces of the two people in the village, but until the evening, the four of them had nothing to gain.
Some of the discouraged four people returned to the courtyard, sat in the gazebo, looked at the peaceful mountain village, and couldn't guess what kind of intrigue was surging under the calm darkness.
At this time, in the deep mountains not far from the village, in a cave that had been dug artificially, two people bound by chains were looking around in horror, these two people were the missing Pang Guangliang and Ma Xiaoqian.
In fact, the two of them were taken to this cave by bearded men last night, tied up, and woke up the next day near noon.
Looking at the chains on their bodies, the husband and wife still hadn't figured out what was going on for a while.
Just as the two of them were grumbling with hunger, the bearded man suddenly appeared in the cave with some food.
"Yo, you two woke up so soon, you're hungry, let's get something to eat." The bearded man looked at the couple who had woken up, and put the food in his hand in front of them with a smile.
Pang Guangliang protected the frightened Ma Xiaoqian behind him, his eyes were firmly fixed on his beard, and he asked angrily, "Who are you, did you arrest us here to help us, what are you going to do?" β
"Oh, don't be so angry, eat something first." The bearded man looked at Pang Guangliang and was not angry.
But Pang Guangliang also had some backbone, didn't touch those meals, stubbornly looked at the beard, and threatened, "I'm telling you, you're committing a crime, you'd better let us go immediately, otherwise you won't regret it when the police come to you." β
"Hahaha." The bearded man looked at Pang Guangliang and seemed to be amused, "Boy, do you really think that someone will find you, why are you so naΓ―ve." β
"What do you mean?" Pang Guangliang looked at the beard.
The beard was not in a hurry, sat down on a stone next to him, lit a cigarette, "Do you want one?" β
Pang Guangliang shook his head.
"It's fine not to smoke." The beard took a deep breath, his eyes were a little confused, and he quickly came back to his senses again, "Boy, do you know where this is, this is the deep mountain, it is a no-man's land called the heavens and the earth, you tell me, who will come to save you." β
Hearing the beard's words, Pang Guangliang's pupils suddenly tightened, "What do you want to do, are you going to kill us." β
"Why are you scared, wasn't it quite powerful just now, wilting so quickly?" The bearded man smiled mockingly, "Okay boy, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I brought you here to play a game with you." β
"Games? What a game. Ma Xiaoqian, who had been hiding behind her, asked cautiously.
"You'll know when the time comes." The bearded man didn't explain, walked up to Pang Guangliang, and hung a bunch of keys on top of the heads of the two of them with a rope, "Boy, this can open the key to your chains, I'll put it here, if you have the ability to get the key, you can leave here, but whether you can return home by then, I don't guarantee it." β
After the beard finished speaking, he left the cave alone.
Seeing the beard leaving, Ma Xiaoqian lay in Pang Guangliang's arms, "Husband, what should we do." β
Seeing his scared wife, Pang Guangliang comforted softly, "It's okay, no matter when, I will protect you, now I have to get the key first." β
"But the key is so high, the two of us can't reach it."
Pang Guangliang looked around and found that there was nothing here except the chains that bound the two of them and the food left over from the beard just left.
Just when Pang Guangliang was at a loss, Ma Xiaoqian's stomach rang again, "Husband, I'm a little hungry." β
Pang Guangliang looked at Ma Xiaoqian, seemed to have made a great determination, took the meal left by his beard, and took a bite, "There should be no problem with this meal." β
Ma Xiaoqian looked at Pang Guangliang, nodded, picked up a steamed bun and devoured it.
Soon, the meal was cleaned up by the two, and after drinking some water, the two stared blankly at the key fluttering in the wind, silently in a daze.
Soon, time passed bit by bit, and during this period, Pang Guangliang also thought about shouting to find someone to save him, but this place was indeed a no-man's land as the beard said, and his mobile phone and other communication tools had all disappeared.
In the mountains at night, the temperature is very low, and two poor people hug each other for warmth.
At this moment, the key hanging above the heads of the two suddenly broke the rope and fell in front of Pang Guangliang.
"Ah, husband, look, the key."
Pang Guangliang immediately grabbed the key, it turned out that the rope hanging the key was not strong, and when it was swayed from side to side by the wind, the rope rubbed against the sharp stone wall and was finally cut.
"Come on, quick." Pang Guangliang, who got the key, immediately opened the chains on the two of them and regained their freedom.
"Husband, let's run."
"Yes." Pang Guangliang didn't trust the beard very much, and quietly walked out of the cave with Ma Xiaoqian, and when he found that there was indeed no one around to guard him, the couple immediately sped up and ran into the jungle.
Shortly after the couple left, a figure came out from behind the trunk of a tree near the entrance to the cave, took out a phone, and dialed a number, "The prey is ready." β
On the other side of the phone was the beard, at this time the beard was standing in front of a group of villagers, put down the beard of the phone, looked at the villagers, and said with a smile, "Everyone, the game can start, the first two people who bring back the prey can be received by the immortals, and now you can go." β
"Rhiz." All the villagers raised their weapons, roared angrily, and quickly scattered into the deep forest.
Looking at the villagers who disappeared in an instant, the bearded face showed a violent look, "Hey, hey, hey, this game is really boring, hahahaha." β
At this time, Pang Guangliang and his wife, who had regained their freedom, wandered around in the woods like headless flies.
"Old ...... Husband, I can't do it, run...... I can't run anymore. Ma Xiaoqian, who had been running for a long time, was a little exhausted, holding on to a tree, and kept panting.
"Not now...... Can't stop, let's ...... Hurry up and run back to the village and call the police. β
"But ......"
"There's nothing more to it, quick, keep going."
Ma Xiaoqian, who was encouraged by her husband, had no choice but to stand up again, gritted her teeth and persevered, and continued to escape.
The woods at night are very dangerous, because you don't know what dangers are hidden in the woods, let alone the woods in this no-man's land.
The husband and wife have been running hard, and at some point, their clothes have been cut by branches and weeds, oozing blood, and they look very embarrassed.
"How big is this wood?" Pang Guangliang had gone from being full of hope to despair, because he found that no matter how he ran, he seemed to have been going around in circles in the forest.
