Chapter 231: The Contest between Good and Evil Act III: The Choice and Contest between Life and Death II
At 9:40 a.m. on May 5, Xie Yunmeng asked Cheng Chu behind him to help him look at his watch, and he had been away from Yun Yeyao for about seven hours, and Xie Yunmeng was anxious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At this time, Cheng Chu's description of the case was only a small part, but Xie Yunmeng didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore, he had to concentrate on going down the mountain first, and after rescuing Yun Yeyao and seeing Mo Haiyou, the case could be narrated slowly.
Ignoring the soreness in his hands and body, Xie Yunmeng forcibly accelerated the speed of the downward climb, which made Cheng Chu a little panicked, and he whispered, "This place should not be far from the foot of the mountain!" It's safer to slow down. ”
Xie Yunmeng ignored Cheng Chu, and continued to jump down little by little, each time, he grabbed the vine with both hands, jumped downward, and then slid down from the vine with both hands, and then grabbed it tightly in an instant, and after finding the next support point with his feet, he continued to repeat the above movements.
Unless it is time to change the vines, Xie Yunmeng will stop temporarily, going down the mountain like this invisibly increases Xie Yunmeng's physical burden, he is already very tired, in case his hands can't hold it, the two of them will be finished.
Behind him, Cheng Chu tried his best to slow him down, but Xie Yunmeng, who was more and more worried about Yun Yeyao, couldn't listen at all, maybe Xie Yunmeng finally realized his feelings for Yun Yeyao, the cruelty of the murderer in the Luoque House incident was simply outrageous, even if Bu He had died now, but leaving Xiao Yao alone in the Luoque House for a long time, Xie Yunmeng felt that his heart could not calm down no matter what.
'Xiao Yao, wait for me! Thinking in his heart, Xie Yunmeng desperately urged himself to hurry up, faster.
Due to the friction, blood gushed out from the wound on Xie Yunmeng's palm again, leaving it on the vines he had pulled, and some of them flowed down his wrists to his clothes......
Xie Yunmeng and Cheng Chu were indeed approaching the foot of the mountain, and if they looked down at the moment, they could already faintly see the ground below the mountain.
Although none of them looked down, at the foot of the mountain at this moment, a man saw them, this man held a gun with a long wooden rod handle, this is a kind of earthen spear commonly used for hunting, can be made by home, although the structure is simple, but the power is not weak.
At this time, when this person saw the people coming down from the mountain, he did not panic or scream, but secretly approached the foot of the mountain where they were about to land, and carefully observed. When he found out that someone he didn't know, he immediately thought that it might be someone who had escaped from the house.
The man made an astonishing move, he actually raised his gun and aimed at the two people hanging down above, ready to shoot.
Xie Yunmeng, who was concentrating on descending the mountain, would not have expected that there would be danger waiting for them at the last point of distance, his hands were grasping a new vine, and when he was about to go down in one go, without warning, a crisp gun rang out at the foot of the empty mountain and suddenly remembered, Xie Yunmeng instinctively shrank back, but it was still too late, the bullet penetrated under Cheng Chu's chest behind him, and shot into Xie Yunmeng's abdomen, and the blood of the two people gushed out at the same time.
Seeing that he had hit with one shot, the people on the ground immediately put away their earthen guns, and soon left in the other direction at the foot of the mountain, and disappeared among the green plants in a short time.
Xie Yunmeng's body shook twice, his hands slipped from the vines that he had not grasped, and fell directly to the foot of the mountain. Barely holding on to his consciousness, Xie Yunmeng pulled Cheng Chu in the air, wanting to switch himself and his position to prevent Cheng Chu from being thrown to death, but because the falling speed was too fast, there was no time to exchange, and the two of them fell heavily on the mud together.
Fortunately, thanks to the continuous rainstorm, the ground was full of puddles and mud, which invisibly alleviated the injury of the fall, but this time it was still not lightly injured, and when he recovered his strength, Xie Yunmeng covered his stomach with one hand, trying to get up, but found that he couldn't straighten up his body, he knew that it must be a bone injury, so he raised his head and desperately looked for Cheng Chu nearby.
The bullet was embedded in Xie Yunmeng's body, tearing a hole in his back, and blood kept flowing out of it, probably hurting his spine, so Xie Yunmeng couldn't straighten up.
Soon, he found Cheng Chu not far away, Cheng Chu was lying on the ground, the muddy water under his body had been stained red with blood, Xie Yunmeng turned over his body and crawled in the direction of Cheng Chu, the clothes on his body were stained with blood and mud.
It seemed that Cheng Chu's wound was a little below his chest, and it didn't hit his heart, Xie Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, this was one of the only surviving murderers in the Luo Que House, and he couldn't let him die like this.
Gritting his teeth, he continued to crawl in the direction of Cheng Chu, after touching him, Xie Yunmeng tried his best to turn his body over, took a closer look at the wound, the bullet passed directly through the right rib cage, and pierced out from the front, Xie Yunmeng shook Cheng Chu's body and shouted: "Cheng Chu!" Wake up, can you hear me? ”
There was no reaction, Cheng Chu's face was pale, and he had already passed out.
It was obvious that someone was putting a secret gun just now, Xie Yunmeng couldn't be sure if there was any danger around, so he pulled Cheng Chu's body and moved towards the place close to the cliff, and when both of them had their backs against the cliff, Xie Yunmeng gasped and began to think of a way.
Now the more time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for them, both of them may die due to excessive blood loss, Xie Yunmeng took off his coat, tore his clothes into strips, and then began to bandage Cheng Chu's wound, he tightened the place where Cheng Chu was bleeding, hoping to stop the blood temporarily, but due to the location of the wound, it had little effect.
The wound on his back, Xie Yunmeng also tightened it with the strips of cloth torn off his clothes. At the foot of this back mountain, Xie Yunmeng felt that the hope of life was losing little by little, but until the last moment, this man would never give up.
Glancing at his watch, it was already past ten o'clock, Xie Yunmeng had to find something to signal to someone who might be nearby, he couldn't do nothing and wait here to die.
There were only stones on the ground except for the mud, and Xie Yunmeng himself had nothing, groping for a stone, Xie Yunmeng threw it towards the opposite cliff, and the stone was thrown to the opposite side without making any sound.
The vegetation on this rock wall is so lush that it absorbs all the sound. But Xie Yunmeng didn't give up, now he only had a stone in his hand, took a breath, and continued to pick up a stone and throw it at the opposite side......
――
Since they separated from Xie Yunmeng in the middle of the night, Yun Yeyao has been very uneasy, they originally wanted to take advantage of the time when Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong were asleep, go out to see the mechanism on the front of the Luo Que House, it was more than three o'clock in the middle of the night on May 4, the rain outside was already very small, and the two of them groped their way to the outside of the Luo Que House.
Just when he didn't do anything in front of the detour, a man's scream suddenly came from behind the Luoque House, Xie Yunmeng immediately turned around and ran back to the way he came, Yun Yeyao wanted to stop him, but Xie Yunmeng quickly ran away, and he couldn't shout at all, Yun Yeyao hurriedly chased after him, but when he returned to the house, he saw that Xie Yunmeng was going deep into the woods behind the house.
This time, Yun Yeyao was frightened, he desperately shouted to stop, but he didn't get any response from Xie Yunmeng, in fact, because Xie Yunmeng happened to see Cheng Chu who came out of the ground disappearing between the trees, so he was in a hurry to chase after him, in his opinion, Cheng Chu may be the remaining criminal in Luoque House.
Although he didn't call Xie Yunmeng, Yun Yeyao's shouting woke up Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong in light sleep, Luo Yifan asked Jiang Xinglong to take care of Lu Huimei, and ran outside to take a look.
Luo Yifan, who arrived outside, was also a little anxious after hearing Yun Yeyao tell him about the situation, and they hurriedly followed the road Xie Yunmeng had walked to take a look, and if possible, pull him back, it was too dangerous for such a person to enter the dark woods.
Just when the two of them passed by a ground, Yun Yeyao suddenly saw that there seemed to be a shimmering thing on the ground, he quickly ran over and picked it up, but he didn't expect it to be a mobile phone, although it was a little old, but there was still electricity, Yun Yeyao put him in his pocket like picking up a treasure, at this time, he found the tunnel hole open next to the mobile phone.
When they were in the living room just now, they sealed the tunnel inside with a vase, for fear that after falling asleep, someone would come from the tunnel to attack them, because Jiang Xinglong said that the tunnel under the sofa is commonly used by drug traffickers. So they have to be especially careful.
But he never thought that the taxi driver on the turnaround mountain would die in this tunnel, and after Cheng Chu killed the driver, he found that Xie Yunmeng's figure was chasing from the front of the house, and ran into the woods in a panic, which directly led to Xie Yunmeng, who saw him, chasing him into the woods behind the Luo Que House.
And the mobile phone that Yun Yeyao picked up should have fallen outside when the driver fell into the tunnel.
But there is no signal on the mountain, how can I call for help? Yun Yeyao wanted to chase into the woods again, but was stopped by Luo Yifan, who calmed down, he thought for a while and said: "We still have to find a way to ask for help down the mountain, if we rush into the woods together, no one will want to get out alive if we are ambushed." ”
"What about Xiao Meng?!" Yun Yeyao looked in the direction of the woods and went crazy.
"Otherwise, let Gamble and Emi come out of the house, and it will be dawn in an hour or two, and then we will go into the woods together to investigate, which will be much safer than at night." Luo Yifan said: "As for now, the two of us want to think about a way, whether we can find a signal, and try our best to call the police station first." ”
After thinking about it, Yun Yeyao had no better way, he reluctantly agreed with Luo Yifan's idea, but a pair of eyes still looked at the direction Xie Yunmeng chased out from time to time, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
Luo Yifan had already left Yun Yeyao to re-enter the Luo Que House at this time, he called out Jiang Xinglong and Lu Huimei, who had been properly rested and protected, Lu Huimei was no longer as crazy as yesterday, she had regained her sanity a little, but the whole person still looked stupid.
Lu Huimei, who was leaning on Jiang Xinglong's shoulder, seemed to give Jiang Xinglong all the weight of her body, her body was soft, Jiang Xinglong held her shoulder with one hand and walked forward with her.
Because it was even more impossible to have a signal behind the house, Luo Yifan and Yun Ye set off to the front of the house, they let Jiang Xinglong and Lu Huimei stay under the eaves in front of the house, and the two of them walked until they reached the edge of the broken rope bridge, and they did not find any signal.
Yun Yeyao was anxious, and kept coming up with all kinds of ideas, but most of them had no practical value, Luo Yifan could see that he seemed to have deep feelings for Xie Yunmeng, but he didn't say anything, and tried to think of a way with Yun Yeyao.
When he walked to the shore of the rope bridge, Luo Yifan reminded Yun Yeyao to be careful of the soles of his feet, because it was particularly easy to slide down here, and asked: "Did Officer Xie's mobile phone fall under here?" ”
He didn't ask, and after asking, Yun Yeyao suddenly remembered that at that time, after Xie Yunmeng's mobile phone fell out of his pocket, it rang a few times before falling into the river under the mountain stream, which showed that there must be a place near the rope bridge to find a signal, so he quickly told Luo Yifan about it.
Of course, Luo Yifan was also very excited when he heard this, the two of them lay on the shore, and Yun Yeyao stretched out his hand to get close to the place where the mobile phone fell at that time, but there was no signal at all.
Then Yun Yeyao used his shoelaces to tie the phone to a long branch and tried again, but there was still no signal, and even if there was a signal, there would be no way for him to call.
There is really no way, but there is a last way, that is, one of Yun Yeyao and Luo Yifan climbs the iron cable on the rope bridge, reaches the middle of the valley and then tries to see if there is a signal.
The two of them thought about it, but they still had to call Yun Yeyao himself, because the truth has not been ascertained yet, and it is impossible for the people in the police station to fully believe what Luo Yifan said.
In the face of danger and the swaying iron rope, Yun Yeyao cheered himself up, he must not miss, in order to get rescue as soon as possible, he has to try no matter what.
Biting the phone in his mouth, Yun Yeyao clumsily climbed onto the iron cable, he hugged the iron rope tightly, and he didn't even know how to move forward, Luo Yifan saw this Yun Yeyao, who was completely different from when he reasoned, and shook his head helplessly, he now finally understood why Xie Yunmeng wanted to follow Yun Yeyao all the time, it turned out that this one-meter-eight man only had a smart mind, and it seemed that his athletic ability was really poor.
Climbing the iron rope is much more difficult than climbing the lowwater pipe in the hotel, Luo Yifan kept 'guiding' with his hoarse throat on the shore, and finally let Yun Yeyao reach the middle of the valley, almost shouting out his voice.
Hanging in the center of the shaking iron cable, Yun Yeyao really realized what it meant to be afraid, his whole body was trembling slightly, and the little worry when he saw Xie Yunmeng climbing was a world of difference compared to now.
But the business still has to be done, he trembled and freed up a hand, took the phone from his mouth, looked at it reluctantly, and immediately felt a little excitement in his heart, because there was actually a signal, it seemed that his efforts were not in vain. Yun Yeyao has a little motivation.
He put his mobile phone to the other hand that was holding on to the iron cable, and began to call the phone number of the task force's office, and soon the phone was connected, and the signal was quite strong, and it did not disappear intermittently or immediately.
When he heard Mo Haiyou's voice on the phone, Yun Yeyao hurriedly explained the situation to him, but the more he hurried, the more unclear he became, and finally let Mo Haiyou know that Xie Yunmeng was chasing the prisoner, and there might be danger, but the signal was suddenly interrupted.
Before the words were completely finished, the phone was interrupted, but Yun Yeyao was in a hurry, and the hand he held the phone stretched out in all directions, but he didn't connect the signal again, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Luo Yifan saw that he really had no choice, and shouted on the shore to let him come back quickly, and unconsciously gave birth to a desire to protect in his heart, because Yun Yeyao at this time did look a little like Liang Yongxin who was anxious.
Finally returned to the shore, Yun Yeyao really had no way at all, he looked at Luo Yifan, hoping that he could still come up with a way, but Luo Yifan's response was just shaking his head.
"There is no choice but to wait for dawn." Luo Yifan said helplessly. If they had climbed halfway down the mountain, they would not have been able to descend the mountain in the current situation, and everything would have to wait for dawn.
The four of them returned to the back of the house, Yun Yeyao had been restless, and after Xie Yunmeng left, he unconsciously fell into a panic, not worried about his own safety, but worried about Xie Yunmeng.
Although Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong could see his thoughts, they didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only wait with him, anyway, they also walked away from the ghost gate solidly, and they didn't care about waiting for a few more hours.
――
In order to be able to live, Xie Yunmeng really had no choice, and he didn't have any tools around him, so he could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he kept picking up stones and throwing them towards the opposite cliff.
Xie Yunmeng was not a fool, he couldn't see that there was no way for the stone to knock on the opposite cliff wall, it was a flick when it fell that made him decide to do it.
As it fell, the corner of Xie Yunmeng's eyes inadvertently swept a little black back in the green plants, and he wondered if the person who attacked them had disappeared there.
Because the terrain at the foot of this mountain was very empty, if they had to go around the foot of the mountain, it would not be so easy for the attackers to run away, at least he would have to run a long way to avoid Xie Yunmeng's gaze.
So that little shadow that disappeared into the plant must have some meaning, Xie Yunmeng can only hope for it now.
He kept throwing stones at the range he had roughly judged, and if the stones were thrown into the plants and did not bounce out or fall outside, there must be a cave out there.
Xie Yunmeng decided that even if he took Cheng Chu to climb, he would climb to the sky.
The effort paid off, and finally, a small stone did not bounce out of the plant, but disappeared into the curtain-like branches of vines.
Xie Yunmeng felt that hope was back again, he forced his injured body to hold up, and there was no way to straighten his waist, so he crawled on the ground, letting Cheng Chu, who was half leaning, fall on his back, and immediately, there was a cone pain in his back, Xie Yunmeng gritted his teeth, and tied the bodies of the two people tightly with the remaining strips of clothing, and then he was like a turtle carrying a shell, crawling towards the place where the stone disappeared with his hands and feet.
Looking forward to seeing the imaginary hole there, Xie Yunmeng used this as motivation to crawl desperately in the muddy water.
Finally, his dirty hands touched the cliff on the opposite side, Xie Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, and his hands slowly groped upward, looking for the entrance to the cave.
At this time, it was already afternoon, they had been at the foot of the mountain for several hours, due to blood loss, the faces of both of them were very pale, especially Cheng Chu, who had fallen into a deep coma, that shot completely pierced his body, no matter what method Xie Yunmeng used, the blood from his wound had been oozing out non-stop, and the clothes wrapped on Cheng Chu's body had been stained with blood like his own clothes.
At this time, Xie Yunmeng, who was trying to find the entrance to the cave, suddenly heard a clear sound of footsteps coming from inside the cliff, and from far to near, Xie Yunmeng immediately assumed a defensive posture.
The way they are now, there is no way to fight against any criminals, but Xie Yunmeng's character, no matter how difficult it is, will not be caught with his hands tied, and he will die like a hero if he wants to die.
On the cliff that Xie Yunmeng was staring at, it didn't take long for a person's head to really poke out, and seeing this person, Xie Yunmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his body instantly collapsed.
Because what he saw in his eyes was Mo Haiyou's face......
