ACT115: Rescue

On the way back to the roundabout, Lin Daochang had a momentary retreat, looking out the car window at the city that was about to recover from the cold night, Lin Daochang felt a little dazed. More than half a month ago, he was still immersed in his own world, where it was peaceful, there was no fighting, no plague, eating and drinking every day without worry, leisure to practice boxing and fitness or burn incense and chant Buddha, although a little lonely, but also have a sense of leisure.

One morning, however, he meets a group of people, and his life is turned upside down.

It is true that Lin Daochang is very happy to have many friends and companions, he likes to mingle with people, likes to listen to their chats and bragging, likes to eat big pot rice, and likes to drink heartily. But gradually, the things he liked became more and more ephemeral, and according to his thoughts, the things he just said should be the main theme of life, but in the roundabout, these contents are only small episodes, and the real main course is the continuous troublesome enemy fighting and bloodshed.

Lin Daochang counted his fingers during the parking break, from the time he met Song Jiu's gang, in just over 20 days, during which he played with the walking corpse, fought with a group of foreigners, fought with the internal separatists of Song Jiu, fought with Wu Wentao, and participated in a unilateral massacre, and was poured into the walking corpse reserve by the sudden acid rain.

I thought that after the rain, the sky would be sunny and we were about to usher in a stable new life, but I never thought that the invincible team would be stuck again as soon as they left the roundabout.

Thinking of those bald savages covered in tattoos and scars and babbling and screaming, Lin Daochang felt a chill from head to toe, and he couldn't tell whether it was fear or fear, it seemed that it was more disgust and resistance. Lin Daochang was very distressed, at a certain moment, he suddenly wanted to go back to his temple to see, he wondered, will the potted plants in the courtyard of the guest hall be drowned by the torrential rain, the Tallinn well seems to be uncovered when he left, will it have been polluted by acid rain?

Lin Daochang thought a lot, forcibly eliminated the worries about Song Jiu and the others in his heart, and tried to numb his brain with irrelevant things, so that he could slip away halfway with peace of mind.

So, the clanging business car drove back to Jinghui Temple in the morning sun and slowly stopped in front of the temple gate. Diagonally opposite, the door of the small supermarket with the "Red Cross fundraising window" is wide open, and the low-lying ground in front of the door is still watery; The red lacquer gate of the temple is covered with black stains washed by acid rain, mottled and ugly, half-closed and half-hidden.

Lin Daochang lay on the steering wheel, staring at the temple gate in a daze, he was thinking, Song Jiu and the others might have died, and going back to report the news by himself could only cause chaos, and then another group of people went to die generously. Why bother? Lin Daochang was very embarrassed, remembering that Song Jiu had pushed himself up in the cockroach cave and Jiao Ziqian, and decisively let himself run away first during the crisis, and pressed his hope on himself without hesitation; He also remembered the night the two first met, and went to a conversation in a shop on the road to the island; He also remembered a lot, not only Song wine, but also his own supermarket that failed to open, which was full of blood; There is also a street lamp stand at the entrance of the supermarket, and a silk scarf wrapped around it that flutters in the wind......

Lao Lin opened the car window, took a hard breath of the cold morning air, roared twice as if he was neurotic, twisted the key, stepped on the accelerator, turned around, and went straight to the roundabout.

In the rearview mirror, the temple fades away, and a cloud of cooking smoke rises and is blown away by the wind.

……

Everything around the island is the same, nothing has changed.

Lin Daochang laughed at himself, secretly thinking that he was really insane, just a day after leaving, the coal pulling team had already suffered a huge accident, and if there was another situation on the roundabout, it would really be no fun. The car stopped in front of the iron gate, Lin Daochang suddenly became nervous, his palms were sweaty, and his back began to feel cold.

A figure appeared behind the fence, and the militiaman, who was quite familiar, seemed to be very surprised, and stared at the broken car for a long time before recognizing that this was the car around the island. Immediately shouted, and there was a squirting behind him, and Luo Yu ran over with a few people.

Lin Daochang breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Yu is relatively familiar, and she is so shrewd, maybe she doesn't have to say anything more, she can definitely guess.

Lin Daochang poked his head out of the car window, and the moment he spoke, the chaotic thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant, and even he himself was surprised why there was almost a cry in his voice.

"Something Happened"

……

The fan bar, silent.

Lin Daochang sat on the chair, changed into clean clothes, cleaned the wound that should be cleaned, bandaged what should be bandaged, and sat with his legs crossed, with an ugly expression.

Ming Junwei hasn't come back yet, he took people to the city to search for supplies, and Song Yao and Lu Qian are temporarily in charge of the roundabout, and Luo Yu and others are assisting.

Lin Daochang recounted what happened as quickly as he could, and Song Yao and the others looked at each other, with indescribable strange expressions on their faces, which seemed to be a little unbelievable.

"So, you mean...... Brother Jiu, they were all captured by savages? Luo Yumei's eyes flashed with a strange look, controlling her emotions, and asked suspiciously: "Wu Wentao, they were also arrested?" ”

"Yes" Lin Daochang was stunned, didn't he say it clearly enough?

Song Yao calmed down, gently patted Luo Yu's back, and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"The second toll booth." Lin Daochang rubbed his hands, thinking if he had missed something, why didn't Sister Song Jiu and his right-hand man seem to believe it?

"Savages? Savages on horseback? And the traps? Lucy swallowed her saliva, also dazed, and muttered, "Can you describe it again?" I...... I don't seem to get it. ”

Lin Daochang was anxious, and got up angrily and shouted, "Am I teasing you?" I don't believe in pulling ** down Lao Tzu is gone"

"Don't don't, Lao Lin, don't get excited, it's not that you don't believe you, it's just ...... It's just that what you're saying is a bit hard to understand. Song Yao hurriedly went over to support him, pushed him back on the stool, and asked, "Brother Ming hasn't come back yet, and the fighters are not there, you tell me about the situation in detail." ”

"How else can I say it in detail?" Lin Daochang wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart that he knew that he would go back to the dough dough to be the abbot, and seeing that Song Yao and the others looked serious, he had to patiently repeat it in detail from beginning to end, including the horse toll booth barricade corpse trap pit he first discovered, etc., without omitting any details. This time, Lao Lin spoke for more than ten minutes, saying that the storytelling was average, the voice was colorful, and the hands and feet were still gesturing, which finally made everyone's expressions a little more solemn.

Song Yao and Luo Yu glanced at each other, their eyes full of shock.

It's not that they don't believe Lin Daochang, it's just that Lao Lin started to say too much, calculating the time, when Song Jiu and the others were attacked, it was less than three hours after leaving the roundabout. How far can you go in three hours? What's more, the ten-person team is all brave people who have experienced a hundred battles, especially Wu Wentao, who is a bandit among bandits, how could they be captured by a group of savages?

How to describe this feeling, it is as if Li Shiming had just sent his royal brother out of the city gate, and after a while, Sha Seng ran into the palace with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, the master and the senior brother and the second senior brother were all captured by the bandits. ”

Lin Daochang warned himself to be calm, and after taking a few deep breaths, he also understood a little, indeed, he was the party concerned, and when he talked about the situation at the time, he was a little incompatible, not to mention that Song Yao and the others relied on their brains. The root cause is that the description of those savages is a little distorted, and Lin Daochang estimates that if he directly says that he was attacked, the effect may be much better.

"By the way, what about Mengfan?" Lao Lin suddenly remembered this stubble, and hurriedly said, "Jiujiu asked me to have a word with Mengfan." ”

"What's wrong?" As he was talking, Meng Fan and the cook Jia Liu Yan ran in in a hurry, and they heard that there was a problem with the coal pulling team, so they immediately put down their work and came.

Lao Lin turned his head to look at Xin Mengfan, who was full of urgency, and hesitated: "Jiujiu asked me to tell you that she doesn't seem to be dead." ”

"What?" Meng Fanxiu frowned, but didn't react, and Song Yao and the others also looked confused.

Lao Lin picked up the teapot and moistened his throat, and told the strange plots he encountered on the road, seeing that Mengfan's face was getting more and more ugly, he realized that Song Jiu was not untargeted, he really knew something.

"In the end, Jiujiu asked me to come back and tell me to tell you this, although I don't know what it means." Lin Daochang breathed a sigh of relief, at least someone present could understand what he was talking about.

"Mengfan? What the hell is going on? Luo Yu began to get anxious, Mengfan's expression changed too obviously, his face was pale and pale, and a little fear flashed in his eyes, and before he could do anything, tears flowed out.

Mengfan's mind was blank, and she turned a deaf ear to Luo Yu's question, so Cook Niangjia helped her sit down and said softly: "Mengfan? Ninety-nine they are in danger? ”

"Impossible...... How could you meet ......" Meng Fan muttered difficult words, and everyone was in a hurry, but they couldn't urge her, for fear that they would overdo it.

Liu Yan did not participate in the questioning, he had already contacted the team that went out, Xiao Wei recovered physically, and continued to act as the eye of the roundabout, with him as a mobile signal tower, the people scattered in the city were easy to contact.

"Brother Ming, they're rushing back, I'll make preparations first." Liu Yan greeted Song Yao, gathered the militiamen who were busy outside, didn't explain too much, and directly opened the arsenal to distribute the equipment.

The people in the hospital also learned that something had happened, and they all stopped what they were doing and rushed over, and after a while, the bar was full again, and the big and small bosses were standing full.

"Don't you know anything?" Song Yao's mind was a little confused, the situation was obviously a bit unexpected, and Meng Fan's reaction added a layer of haze to everyone's hearts.

"I don't know." Luo Yu's face was not good-looking, and he shook his head gently: "Mengfan has been with Brother Jiu for a long time, and he may have had some experience. ”

Song Yao sighed, and Luo Yu and the two of them brought Mengfan into the small office, there were too many people outside, and it was not very convenient to ask.

"Mengfan, what do you know? Ninety-nine may be in danger, and you have to tell us what you know. Song Yao tried her best to make her tone sound softer, and said softly, "You know who the person who attacked Jiujiu is, right?" ”

Meng Fan nodded stunned, his beautiful eyes were smoky, and it was distressing to look at.

"Tell me, then, what kind of enemy are we facing? How should we save them? Song Yao patiently continued to be persuasive.

"I don't know." Mengfan raised his head, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he said with tears: "I really don't know, she should be dead." ”

"Who is he?" Luo Yu frowned and asked.

Meng Fan stopped talking, shook his head vigorously, and clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, as if he was suffering some kind of torment.

Song Yao glanced at Luo Yu and said softly, "What should we do?" Is she your enemy? Once upon a time? ”

Meng Fan took a deep breath, stopped the tears of the broken thread, and choked up: "Go and save Brother Jiu, I'll go with you." ”
