Chapter 138: Rescue (2)
The first test, which has ended perfectly, also proves that there is really only one old man Hu Zhao in the entire mountain, unless those who are hiding can be indifferent when they hear such a big movement here.
In this way, the second rescue mission can be much simpler.
For an old man who is more than half a hundred years old, how can the two of them not surrender to him, so, under the guidance of this inexplicable confidence, they plan to spend more time on this old man and set out more things in it, so as to catch all the people behind the scenes.
"You said you believe that that person will not betray you, what is the relationship between you, he is so worthy of your trust?" Yan Mu listened to the words of the old man Hu Zhao, and couldn't help but sarcastically say on the side, and what he was referring to was the restaurant man in the old man's mouth who traded with him in the secret route.
"Believe? Young man, how can you be so naΓ―ve? The old man said with a hint of sarcasm, "What do you say is the strongest thing in the world?" Do you remember ......"
The old man's eyes swept over Gu Changqing and Yan Mu's bodies faintly, "The most enduring things in this world will never be friendship, faith, and morality, and the most long-lasting and unquestionable and destructive are only eternal interests.
As long as there is interest, no matter what kind of people can be connected and become allies, you know? β
"." Yan Mu couldn't help but scold, "These remarks are just an excuse for you to find a high-sounding excuse for your own actions." Won't the benefits you are talking about collapse one day? β
The old man replied quietly, "Of course." There are always the same interests and sometimes they are different, and if this collapses, someone else will naturally take over. β
Yan Mu was speechless.
As the old man's words landed, the green branches and leaves in the surrounding mountains and forests began to shake rapidly, and the state of rising and falling was like a fluctuating green wave, and at the same time, a flock of frightened birds rose from the swaying branches and began to hover and fly in the vast sky, and soon formed a circle shape.
Gu Changqing couldn't help but look at the past, this is like those who go around in their own demons but can never find their direction, they will stick to their own place all their lives, and they will never be redeemed.
This surprising scene, not only Gu Changqing kept his eyes for a while, but even the old man couldn't help but look at the sky, and said calmly with a trace of anticipation, "How good you look at the birds, the blue sky, the green grass, you can fly if you want, if there is a next life, I will definitely choose to be a bird."
Even if you don't live long, it's better than being imprisoned in a cage for the rest of your life! β
After that, the old man seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, looked at Gu Changqing and Yan Mu, and returned to his serious and deep appearance.
Gu Changqing looked at this dry old man, and always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
Yan Mu also withdrew his thoughts from the flock of birds, stared at the old man, and paused word by word, "Don't say so much useless, I don't like to hear it, I just want to know how you detain these children and buy and sell."
What is the source? What is the market? Who contacted you directly? Isn't it the same from the restaurant? β
Seeing Yan Mu's aggressive questioning, the old man smiled indifferently again, and a row of white teeth appeared on his dark face, like a light in the night, "Child, one day, you will understand what it means to be born as a human being!" β
Yan Mu and Gu Chang
Qing hadn't yet reacted from the old man's sudden inexplicable words, only to feel the cold wind brushing in his ears instantly, and when he quickly dodged, the old man had already fallen to the ground with an arrow.
All this happened too suddenly, Gu Changqing, who reacted, first glanced at Yan Mu, and Yan Mu chased out in the direction where the arrow flew from, and the little fox who had just been frightened by the sound of the arrow trembled and immediately raised his heel and ran out.
Gu Changqing, who was staying, first pressed the wound at the arrow hard, blood kept coming out, and the scarlet color instantly filled the entire eye.
Gu Changqing understood that the purpose of this arrow was to want this old man who couldn't speak anymore, and at this time, Gu Changqing also knew that even if there was a divine doctor at this time, this arrow in the center was enough to kill the old man.
However, this is not the moment when his sympathy is overflowing, although this person is just an ordinary old man, but his unusual circumstances are destined to determine that he has to face questions from Gu Changqing in this situation.
"Who is behind the scenes? What does he look like? What are the characteristics of sound? Gu Changqing grabbed the old man's arm tightly and asked eagerly and messily, "I know you must have seen him, right?" β
Gu Changqing looked at the old man and hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask, "I know that you are not such a ruthless person, and you don't want to see those children living in a room like a prison cell all day long, even the sun is a luxury for them, right?" You have children too, I know ......"
When Gu Changqing said this, the old man gently raised his arm, Gu Changqing was overjoyed, slowly lowered his head, and put his ear close to the old man's mouth, and his expression even stretched a little.
Different from Gu Changqing's eagerness, the old man in pain at this time calmly seemed to have already encountered this scene.
After a slight hesitation and silence, the old man grabbed Gu Changqing's hand with all his might, and when the last trace of strength was exhausted, he wrote a word on his palm, which meant that he was exhausted, and the birds that had been circling in the sky had already dispersed, leaving not even a trace of it.
Gu Changqing recalled in his mind the words that the old man had just written in the palm of his hand, and the warm and itchy touch was gradually transmitted faintly in the palm of his hand.
That's a "male" word.
Does the old man mean that the man is a man? Or does that person have that word in their name?
But why is the word he tried his best to write down in the end such a general word?
He could have directly named that person, he knew, he could.
ββββββββββββββββ
Yan Mu lifted his leg and ran back indignantly, Gu Changqing was not attached to what had just happened, and gave Yan Mu a certainty that he was dead, and asked, "What's the situation over there?" Let the man run? β
The corners of Yan Mu's mouth flicked weakly, stretched out his foot and kicked the bushes around him fiercely, turned around and said angrily, "What ran away, there is no one at all!" β
Gu Changqing was a little unsure, but he was still calmly waiting for Yan Mu to continue, "I ran over at such a fast speed, only to see a crossbow sandwiched straight between the two small trees, and it looked like it had been fired.
I thought it was strange that I had deliberately looked at the distance within twenty paces of this circumference, even if the crossbowman had extremely strong light skills, there would have been footprints within such a distance.
After I watched it, there was nothing, like no one had ever had
The same, clean scary! β
Gu Changqing's brows tightened, and he said with some doubts, "No, even if the old man puts the crossbow here, there will be footprints?" How could you not have not, would you not have looked carefully? β
Yan Mu patted his chest and said, "How can it be, I have the best eyesight, especially on this kind of grass, the traces of being stepped on are so obvious, how can I not see it?" β
"Could it be that the crossbowman is underweight? And did not leave a clear footprint! β
Hearing this, Yan Mu dragged the little fox over and let it take two steps on the ground, Gu Changqing looked at the traces left by the little fox on the grass, and waved his hand embarrassedly, "Okay, I believe you!" β
"I wondered, could it be that this old man had prepared this thing earlier? If it was this crossbow that he had placed before, it would be normal that there were no footprints or anything like that! Yan Mu scratched his head, as if he was struggling to think, "But I think it's unlikely, after all, it's an accident that the two of us came, and it's even more an accident that the two of us are hiding here."
Neither of us can be sure of such an accidental thing, but how did he determine it? It's weird! β
"You said the crossbow was sandwiched between two small trees. In other words, this crossbow did not cover up, but put it in the bright light? Gu Changqing stubbornly grasped this point in Yan Mu's words.
Yan Mu nodded without hesitation and said, "That's true." β
Gu Changqing stood like a clay statue for a moment, but his mind became clearer and clearer with this calmed body, "That crossbow, does it have an automatic triggering device?" β
Seeing Yanmu nodding, Gu Changqing continued, "That's right, that crossbow was placed by the old man." From the moment we were sure that there was only one old man in this place, I thought there must be something else like this in this forest. And it's within this radius, and it's not too far.
His purpose is not the two of us, nor the old man himself. It's all the people who intend to break into this place, or the old man himself, like the one who was in danger in this situation just now. β
Gu Changqing paused, and then said, "But this danger does not refer to the danger in our usual sense, but all the dangers in him that may betray the people behind the scenes.
I asked the old man some questions just after you had gone, and as I said he must have seen the man, with all his calm looks, I saw the fingers of his right hand twitch twice inadvertently.
So, I guess, he died to protect that person?! β
Yan Mu looked at Gu Changqing in a daze, these remarks really made him not know what to say to express!
Do you remember the old man's first words, when he said that he wished he could be a bird in the next life, not imprisoned in a cage.
I think that when he said this, he must have already determined that he was dying. Or rather, he had already met his own death when he met the two of us!
But how did he manage to control the crossbow so far away from him in terms of time? β
Something suddenly popped up in Yan Mu's mind, he patted Gu Changqing's arm vigorously, and suddenly couldn't find words in his eagerness, so he had to pull him to the place where Nu was placed.
When he got there, his speech returned to normal, and he pointed to Nu and said, "When I checked it, I found that there was a long thin thread on this crossbow, but I was busy looking for footprints, so I didn't notice it
γ β
In the interval between Yan Mu's words, Gu Changqing had already begun to fiddle with the crossbow.
This crossbow is a normal crossbow, the only difference is that its activation device is not human, but a crossbow modified enough to be remotely controlled through a silk thread.
In other words, as long as the other end of the silk thread hanging on the starter is held in the hand of a person, that person can trigger him at will.
But in the old man's hands, they didn't see anything. The old man had inspected the rooms since he had been tricked by the little fox and had come towards the two of them, and they had seen with their own eyes that he had not seen any superfluous movements?
Thinking of this, Gu Changqing raised his eyebrows, walked back to the location where the old man's body was, searched the ground on the edge of his feet for a long time, and finally found a hidden silk thread.
And the final end of one end of this silk thread is the crossbow just seen, and the end of the other end is not far away, and there is also an same crossbow attached.
This thread is so hidden that people who don't know it all will never have such accurate control over it.
This also validates the speculation of the two men. But why is the old man so preoccupied?
It's just that the Si people have passed away, and I am afraid that such a problem will be fruitless.
The two men turned the old man's body over for a moment, and there was nothing clean. And in this mountain forest, there are always wolves, tigers and leopards, and the two of them have made a pit for the old man, although it is simple, but burying it is finally a place to stay, it is better than being eaten clean by wild beasts.
After all this was done, the two of them began to plan to rescue the children. However, with what happened just now, the two of them walked cautiously, for fear that one would accidentally step on a similar silk thread.
But the journey was relatively uneventful.
In this row of houses, except for one of the old man's living room, five are planted with Tianhu grass, and the rest are still six.
These six rooms, they looked at from the outside, and they were indeed some children, but some had more rooms, and some had less.
Most of these children were asleep, unaware of the drastic changes that had taken place outside.
The two of them were about to start in the first room on the very edge, but as soon as they pushed the door open, they heard a loud explosion from their side, and they were greeted by the overwhelming shouts and pain in front of them, and the rapidly darkening sky in front of them.
Time passes little by little, like the blood that flows out of the body.
Gu Changqing's consciousness slowly returned to his body, and he moved his shoulders slightly, only to feel a heart-rending pain.
But he still held back, turned his body desperately, and reached out to touch Yan Mu who was lying beside him.
Gu Changqing's arm was like a long bloody mouth like a beast's open mouth, and he touched Yan Mu twice hard, but he never got a response.
A kind of fear emanating from the bottom of my heart began to pervade, and all the things I had experienced in the past came to my mind one by one. Those who left, those who were never seen again, all became clear in an instant.
He stretched out his hand, but he could no longer touch their warm bodies.
And at this moment, will he lose him?
