Chapter 24: Xiao Ding's True Identity
It seems that no matter how fierce a woman is, she cares about her face.
The big-breasted woman hid back, and when she saw that she couldn't break free, she hurriedly explained, "In the basement, they were locked in the basement." ”
"Where's the entrance to the basement?" Yu Nian asked.
"There's an abandoned railroad track not far from the warehouse, and the basement entrance is just below that locomotive."
After hearing this, Yu Nian hit the back of the big-breasted woman's neck with her elbow, and the woman's body collapsed to the ground as soon as she became weak.
Yu Nian picked up the dagger and cut the rope around my wrist.
"How did you find me? Ah yes, I still have a copper coin on me. I got up and followed Yu Nian, who seemed to be displeased.
I followed her out of the warehouse and realized that I had been tied up in the middle of a wasteland.
"It's strange, why are these people trying so hard to tie me up? Don't tie me and Teng Chongchong together. I muttered as I followed Yu Nian.
Yu Nian suddenly stopped at this time, and I crashed into her without paying attention.
She turned to me impatiently and said, "This is the first time I have saved you, and the last time. The next time something like this happens, I'll die. ”
"I can't blame me, those people in black are obviously here for you, and I'm still taking the blame."
"Then you're blaming me for putting you in danger now?"
"Anyway, it's half and half, and it's also my problem that I'm not vigilant."
Yu Nian didn't bother to tell me who was wrong and who was right, so he turned around and left. I realized I might have her off and hurried to follow.
Walking through this wasteland, there is indeed an abandoned railway track hidden in the weedy forest in front of it, and the locomotive is rusty, and it looks like it has been abandoned here for more than ten years.
Entering from the locomotive, there is a very hidden iron door opening in the corner. When it was opened, it was found that it was a tunnel leading to the underground.
I looked at the dark and bottomless corridor and panicked, and I always felt as if something below was waiting to devour us with its mouth open.
Yu Nian didn't hesitate and walked straight down.
Unlike what I imagined, the road was not deep, and I fell to the ground after walking about 20 meters.
It wasn't pitch black either, with two dim oil lamps hanging on either side of the basement, and a prison-like iron gate facing the two of us.
I subconsciously walked in front of Yu Nian and illuminated the way.
At this moment, the iron fence gate seemed to sense the approach of the two of us, and it rose up with a clatter.
It was only then that I realized that this was a real invitation to the urn. But knowing that Lao Meng was trapped, even if I knew that this was a dangerous situation, I had to go inside.
When I walked to the door, I hesitated, turned around and said to Yu Nian with a serious face: "You are waiting for me here, if I don't come out in half an hour, you can leave." ”
I said generous Ling Ran, upright, but Yu Nian stared at me expressionlessly, "You have watched too many TV series, right?" ”
So the picture could no longer be sensational, and I was urged by Yu Nian to walk into the iron gate.
As expected, the moment we just walked in, the iron door fell with a bang, the mechanism was locked, and we became caged beasts.
It was only when I walked in that I realized that this was not a basement at all, but an underground prison.
Along the way, there were prisons on both sides, and inside each compartment was a man with shackles on his ankles.
Some were dying against the corner, and some were looking at me and Yu Nian with fierce eyes.
I leaned towards Yu Nian's side, and found that her body suddenly had a burning heat, and when I looked down, it turned out that the bone umbrella in my sleeve was slightly lit up with yellow light.
"What's going on? Did it feel something? ”
Yu Nian said, "The Hundred Bone Umbrella is cast from the ribs of a hundred heroic generals who died on the battlefield. The deeper the resentment, the stronger the aura he could feel. ”
I looked at the dozens of pairs of staring eyes around me, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back. Aren't people in these cages?
I found that most of the people in this prison were young people, and very few were old people or children.
I noticed that at the end of the cage, there seemed to be a special person locked up.
Unlike the others, this man was not as sickly as the others, but had a strong body and slender legs. Wearing a sleeveless vest, the expression on his face is lazy and playful, but it reveals a hint of danger.
When I got closer, I realized that the cage in which this man was held was also very different from the others, the steel bars were denser and thicker, and the grounding places had been watered with molten iron and welded to the ground.
When he saw Yu Nian, the expression on his face changed like a storm, but it quickly calmed down.
I looked at him, and he didn't dodge at all, but stood up and walked in front of me.
He's half a head taller than me, and he definitely looks like he's 1.9 meters.
I noticed that his pupils were a deep blue, and after staring at each other for a long time, he suddenly said to me in a deep voice, "Look at your mother." ”
That's when I realized that he was scolding me, "You're sick!" ”
He looked at me calmly, as if expecting me to pull him out of the cage.
Yu Nian stopped me and reminded me lightly, "If you provoke him, I won't collect your body." ”
I lost my arrogance all of a sudden, and I didn't even want to mess with my thoughts, what kind of person is it?
At the end of the cage, there were caves leading to two completely different directions, and Yu Nian walked towards the larger one without thinking, and I naturally followed.
"Who is that person who looks like Thor just now?" I asked.
"You'd better figure out who came in and set us in."
Suddenly, there was a boom from the depths of the tunnel, and the rubble and clods of earth above him began to fall.
I hurriedly leaned against the wall and asked in the confusion, "What's the matter, someone blew up the mountain?" ”
"Looks like someone is trying to bury the two of us alive here."
After speaking, Yu Nian didn't give me time to react, and pulled me and ran inside. But after running a few steps, I only felt that my feet were soft, and I looked down to find that Yu Nian and I had fallen into a quicksand pit.
The so-called quicksand, simply put, means that sand can flow like a liquid, and it is a natural phenomenon. It often occurs in deserts with unstable foundations, when a heavy object is placed on top of the sand, as if it sinks to the bottom, sinking to the bottom.
I remember that our squad leader once said that in 1692, the port of Royle in Jamaica was caused by an earthquake that caused the soil to liquefy and form quicksand, which eventually caused the disappearance of one-third of the city and the death of 2,000 people.
A huge city can be swallowed up, let alone the two of us.
Once you are trapped in it, you often can't extricate yourself, and you can only wait for yourself to be swallowed by the sand in an instant.
I picked up Yu Nian just before the quicksand reached my calves, which accelerated my sinking.
Yu Nian wanted to break free, and asked me in disbelief, "What are you going to do?" ”
I swear I really don't have the slightest crooked intention to take advantage of it at the moment, but I know Yu Nian's skills, if she doesn't have to take care of me at this time, she can escape by herself.
I hugged her and flipped up, and said, "I guess I may not have much time to explain the aftermath, our squad leader said that quicksand is the devil who eats people and does not spit out bones." What are you, leave me alone, run for your life. Help me bring Lao Meng back, even if I didn't die in vain. ”
Yu Nian looked at me with disgust: "Can you stop fantasizing about being a superhero?" ”
"Huh?"
She glanced at me, "Neurotic." ”
After saying that, she reached out and threw out the bone umbrella, and the tip of the bone umbrella spat out a claw and clung tightly to the top of the cave.
Yu Nian's right hand was slightly forced, and he directly pulled me out of the quicksand, and a boost directly threw me towards the top of the cave.
I thought I was going to hit a lot of meat, but I didn't expect that there was a gap in the roof of this cave, which could lead directly to the upper floor.
I hurriedly climbed up and pulled Yu Nian up again.
I sat on the ground panting, and when I turned around, I bumped into an old man sitting on a wicker chair, and I was so frightened that I quickly flinched.
I quickly checked that I was still in the underground space, and I was sure that I hadn't accidentally climbed into someone's underground garage.
The old man sat firmly in the middle of the cave, with a row of old bookshelves behind him, and no one else around. He had half-squinted eyes and looked to be in his hundred and teens.
The skin on his face drooped on his chin, and his face was pale, as if he had pounced on half a bag of flour, and it did not look like any other centenarian was kind and charitable.
I just feel very penetrating, just like when I watched the Queen Mother Lafayette in the movie of the last emperor......
After Yu Nian came up, he was not surprised at all to see this old man, but his wrist tightly clasped the bone umbrella in his sleeve.
"I remember, the girl of the Yu family is a smart person, why do you want to drill into it today, knowing that it is a trap?" His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, neither male nor female, and it made my throat tense when I heard it.
"Stop talking nonsense and hand people over."
I hurriedly pulled Yu Nian's clothes and reminded in a low voice, "Don't talk like that, the old man is so old." ”
Yu Nian glanced at me, and I hurriedly swallowed my words back.
The old man suddenly burst out laughing when he saw me, and in the middle of the laugh he began to cough as if he were going to cough up half his life.
He took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth, smiled at me and said, "It's funny, it's really funny." In my lifetime, I can still see the descendants of the Yu family and the descendants of the sewing corpse standing together, and I have not lived in vain for more than 200 years. ”
This old man has lived for more than 200 years? It's really human.
Who knew that after listening to his words, Yu Nian's eyes widened and looked at me in disbelief, "You? You are? That's impossible! ”
I was confused by these two people, what a mess.
"What am I, I'm Xiao Ding."
The old man slowly spoke, "Little brother, your grandfather's name, but his name is Xiao Baoshan?" ”
I was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”
Yu Nian suddenly grabbed my sleeve: "Is your grandfather really Xiao Baoshan?" ”
"That's right." I nodded dumbfounded.
Yu Nian's face suddenly changed, he was furious, and he released a bone umbrella from his sleeve to force me into a corner, and stared at me with red eyes, "I saved your life several times and three times, you dare to lie to me!" ”
