Chapter 387: The Little Boy in the Thatched House [Two in One]
When I heard the village chief say that, I was stunned.
I was at the forefront, and after Li Dakui and the others were stunned when they saw me, they also stopped.
"Team Leader Lin, what's wrong?" Li Peiyi tilted her head and asked me.
Li Dakui and Yang Lili didn't speak. But they all looked at me suspiciously, just like Li Peiyi.
"The village chief just said something, saying that he asked someone to hurry up and inform Xiao Wu, and the police came to look for him." I said in a deep voice.
"When did the village chief say that?" Li Peiyi looked dazed: "The village chief doesn't seem to have said this, right?" ”
Of course, Li Peiyi didn't know that my ears could hear a sound dozens of meters away. But Li Dakui knows, but this guy is similar to Zhou Rong, basically he never expresses any opinions, he will do whatever you tell him to do, and ask him to give you some ideas. That's impossible.
Fortunately, Yang Lili and Li Dakui's personalities are different, otherwise I would really be suffocated to death, and there would be no one to speak.
I saw Yang Lili frowning slightly, and asked me in a cold voice: "Did you hear clearly?" ”
She also knew that my ears were different from ordinary people, so she asked that. But along the way, I felt that her attitude towards me seemed to be quite bad, and I didn't know where to offend her. Every time she talks to me, she doesn't have a good face, and she doesn't know if she is deliberately pretending to be cool in front of Li Dakui or what's going on, in short, she looks at me with horizontal eyes all day today.
"Absolutely." I nodded.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, let's go back quickly, maybe that Xiao Wu is the murderer of those brothers in your second group! I don't know how you usually handle cases. Yang Lili said disdainfully.
"Hmmm! My master and I will go over, and you will wait for us in the grove in front of us, so you don't need so many people to follow us. "I commanded.
"Ah, just the two of us women going to wait for you in the woods?" Li Peiyi said worriedly, as if she was very scared.
"Don't be afraid, you just treat me as a man!" Yang Lili patted her chest.
Li Dakui glanced at Yang Lili with a cold face. Then he glanced at Li Peiyi, and immediately changed a diametrically opposite expression. I saw him laugh and say: "Roar, don't be afraid, if there is any danger, you can scream, and I will come to save you immediately." ”
"Hee-hee, thank you, Brother Da Kui!" Li Peiyi said with a smile. But when she glanced at Yang Lili's murderous eyes, the smile gradually stiffened on her face.
It was also at this time that I suddenly remembered a sentence that Li Dakui used to say: I like small and delicate dripping ......
Damn, I finally know why Yang Lili treated me so much along the way.
Nima, it is estimated that she regards Li Peiyi as a rival in love. Because Li Peiyi belongs to the kind of small and delicate type, and now that I think about it, Li Dakui's concern for her along the way is obviously a little unusual.
Although I don't know much about the psychological world of women, I know that most women are very cautious in terms of feelings, and if they see the man they like and take a look at other women, it may cause a war. What's more, the rough-headed and rough-headed Li Dakui is still so obvious.
Fortunately, Yang Lili looks like a big old man, and her figure is more like a female man, but in fact, her personality is quite soft. is not as rude as Zhang Yihan, so she endured it all the way and didn't get mad, but her attitude towards me, the initiator, was a little bad, otherwise it would have been a war with Li Peiyi.
I shook my head, didn't dare to look at Yang Lili again, and quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the village chief's house.
I didn't take a few steps. Behind him, Li Dakui's words full of "tenderness" came again: "Roar, you don't have to be afraid, I am very powerful, I will definitely be able to protect you." Whoever dares to bully you, I will beat him up! ”
Nima, what are you talking about at this time!
I just felt a headache.
But fortunately, Yang Lili didn't go crazy directly, and then I heard Li Dakui's footsteps catching up with me.
And Yang Lili also took Li Peiyi away gradually.
I didn't rush to talk to Li Dakui about this emotional thing, because now that we were close to the village chief's house, I was worried that they would hear it.
The moon is shining well tonight, and the sky in the mountains is much brighter than in the city, and the moon feels a little brighter.
Li Dakui and I went into the woods behind the village chief's house, and followed the woods until we reached the back of the village chief's house. I listened intently for a while, and soon noticed a faint footstep not far from the woods heading towards the back hill.
I beckoned to Li Dakui and quickly followed in the direction where the footsteps had gone. Because I guessed that this person should be the one sent by the village chief just now to report to the ventilation named Xiao Wu.
We didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, so we could only walk one foot high and one foot low in the woods with the help of the moonlight, but fortunately, we didn't have long to follow, and we noticed a faint flashlight in front of us.
The flashlight seems to be running out of power, because the light is very yellow, and it still looks like an ordinary flashlight with a battery, not a rechargeable flashlight. It can't be compared to the strong flashlight in our hands.
When we followed, we realized that the man was walking down a small path in the woods. The man walked slowly, but evenly. After Li Dakui and I found the path, we also climbed up from the woods and walked on the path.
We kept forty or fifty meters away from him and followed him. Because the man in front of him seemed to be very careful, and from time to time he looked behind him, as if he was afraid that someone would follow him.
From the man's back, I could tell that this man seemed to be the younger brother of the village chief. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, whom we had seen before at the village chief's house.
In this way, we followed him for about an hour on the mountain road, climbed several mountains, and did not follow the village chief's brother to a valley, and the front was impressively cheerful.
I saw that there was a faint light on the mountainside not far away, and it should be a small house, and the village chief's younger brother was heading towards that small house.
The valley was relatively empty because of the woods, so we didn't dare to follow too closely, so we rushed towards the little house when the village chief's brother entered the small house.
If the Xiao Wu in the village chief's mouth is the murderer, we will definitely catch him red-handed.
However, that little martial artist disappointed us a little.
Because when the village chief's brother entered the house, I also heard him take the key to open the door, and it sounded as if there was a lock on the outside of the small house.
The most important thing is that as soon as the village chief's younger brother entered the house, I heard a very immature voice: "Grandpa, you are here......
The voice was still a child, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Xiao Wu, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the mountains for a while longer." The village chief's younger brother said.
I didn't even intend to understand what they were saying, but I didn't expect them to speak half-baked Mandarin, so I could hear them quite clearly.
"What, still have to stay for a while?" Xiao Wu exclaimed: "Grandpa, I'm so scared, I don't dare to sleep every night, I only fall asleep during the day, I'm so scared at night, or let's talk to the police uncle, I want to go home......"
"Don't say it, don't say it!" The village chief's younger brother said coldly: "Have you forgotten what your second grandfather told you?" ”
"I, I haven't forgotten!" Xiao Wu said in a low voice. Come to the earth and row wildly.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten, I'm here with you tonight, and I'll go back early tomorrow morning."
"Hehe, thank you, grandpa, thank you...... Grandpa, did you bring me something to eat, I'm so hungry. ”
"Have you finished delivering instant noodles?" The village chief's younger brother asked.
"No, I haven't finished eating, I've been eating instant noodles for so long, I don't want to eat instant noodles anymore." Xiao Wu said weakly.
"Stinky boy, it's good to have instant noodles to eat, what else do you want to eat?" The village chief's younger brother said.
"Oh......" Xiao Wu replied and didn't say anything more.
Judging from the tone of their conversation, that Xiao Wu seemed to be afraid of the village chief's younger brother.
"When you're hungry, you go to boil water and make noodles by yourself, and if you don't want to eat, you go to sleep." The village chief's brother said again, and there was no sound in the small house.
We crawled in the weeds behind the house for more than half an hour, and there was still no sound, and Li Dakui and I retreated to the woods one or two hundred meters away and began to talk about it.
"Master, what do you think about this?" I asked.
"Roar, they locked a child in the mountains, there must be a ghost." Li Dakui said this, but he didn't say it, because fools can see that this thing is weird.
I knew that Li Dakui would definitely not be able to rely on him, so I had to analyze it myself: "That Xiao Wu must have known something, or seen something, and the village chief didn't let them tell the police, so he was locked up here." What the hell is he? ”
"Roar, when the village chief's brother is gone, let's go and ask." Li Dakui said with a smile.
His words gave some inspiration, it was obvious that Xiao Wu was not very sensible, if the village chief's younger brother went back, we could really get something out of his mouth.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly discussed with Li Dakui what to do, and finally I decided to ask him to guard here, and I went back to meet Yang Lili and Li Peiyi first. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to wait there. Just now we were in the village outside the mobile phone signal, but here the mobile phone has no signal, and we can't contact them at all. Besides, I'm going to prepare some things to go to Xiao Wu tomorrow during the day, so I have to go down the mountain.
The next morning, it suddenly began to rain heavily. Fortunately, the weather was not right in the morning, and Li Peiyi and I prepared raincoats when we went up the mountain. However, this kind of raincoat is actually only useful for light rain, and it doesn't play much role in heavy rain continuously. In addition, we were walking through the woods, and soon we were all wet.
When Li Peiyi and I came to the place where Li Dakui and I agreed yesterday wearing a raincoat, he was soaking wet, standing under a big tree, and still smirking at the two of us.
We gave him a raincoat and finally something to eat, and then Li Peiyi and I walked to the house halfway up the hill not far away.
Li Dakui said that the village chief's younger brother left at 6 a.m. And I looked at the time, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
I told Li Dakui to go first, saying that Yang Lili was waiting for him on the road outside the reservoir, but he was waiting for us to go back together. I had no choice but to ask him to wait for us under the tree.
It's not that I don't want to take Li Dakui to that small house to hide from the rain, but he is too scary, and I am afraid of scaring the child in the house. I didn't even dare to bring Yang Lili, where did I dare to take him.
The purpose of I brought Li Peiyi was to pretend to be a boyfriend and girlfriend to travel out and get lost, and go to that Xiao Wu to ask for directions. If it's just me as a man, I'm afraid that Xiao Wu will be resistant. And women are naturally superior to men in this regard, so they will bring her along.
When I approached the small house, I realized that although it was made of wood, it was very rudimentary and had a thatched roof.
I knocked on the door outside for a long time, but there was no response from inside.
Listening to Li Dakui, the village chief's younger brother left alone, and he didn't take the child with him when he left. And at this time I can still see that there is indeed a big lock locked on the door of the small house, but why is there no sound inside?
Could it be that the village chief's younger brother confessed that if a stranger knocked on the door and told him not to agree?
Thinking of this, I tried to say again: "If you don't open the door again, we'll rush in......"
However, there was still no echo inside.
If it weren't for the heavy rain, I might have been able to hear the sound of breathing inside, but it was so heavy that I didn't hear anything except the sound of the pouring rain.
In the end, I had no choice but to kick the door open.
When I kicked open the door, Li Peiyi and I were instantly petrified on the spot.
I saw that the house had already become an "ocean", and the thatch on the roof did not play a role at all under this heavy rain, and it can almost be said that the heavy rain in the house was not much lighter than the heavy rain outside.
In the corner of the room, there was a bunk on the floor, and a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old was curled up on the bunk.
The quilt on his body and the bedding on the ground were already soaked, and he was shivering incessantly in the quilt.
In the corner of one side, there is a kettle and a large bowl with a broken notch. Next to the fire pit is a box of instant noodles in bulk. This is not the kind of package that Master Kong packed, but the kind of yellow dough that is not packaged, and the yellow aspects have been soaked a little soft after entering the water. On one side of the box was a bottle of mineral water, which contained some broken promises.
It is not difficult to see that this child is locked up here on this kind of instant noodles to sustain his life.
Most importantly, the child also wears an iron collar around his neck, to which is attached an iron chain, the end of which is nailed to a load-bearing post in a corner.
"Grass and mud horses, is this still a human thing, is their conscience eaten by dogs, this is a person, not a dog!!" I yelled loudly, and the last sentence was particularly loud.
And Li Peiyi, who was next to me, was already covering her mouth, and her eyes were red.
I rushed to the shivering little boy. As soon as my hand touched his skin, I felt a hot heat: "He is having a high fever, we have to take him to the hospital quickly, you go and call my master over!" ”
"Oh......" Li Peiyi nodded, turned around and ran outside.
And I was trying to help the child untie the collar around his neck. But the ring was held in place by a very thick nail, and then the nail was bent with a hammer, and I could not open it without the tools.
I hadn't even broken his collar until Li Dakui and Li Peiyi arrived, and I had to pull out the chain nailed to the other end of the wall with great effort.
As soon as Li Dakui came, he first looked at the child who was trembling in the bed, and then at the iron chain I was pulling hard, and his face instantly showed a terrifying murderous aura that I had never seen before.
"Ah......h
Nima, his roar scared me. Fortunately, he did not rush over and hit me, but rushed over and grabbed the chain in my hand, and then kicked the pillar, and with a sharp force, he pulled out a thumb-thick iron nail that was nailed to the load-bearing post at the end of the chain.
Seeing this, I quickly picked up the shivering child and ran outside.
As soon as I ran outside, Li Dakui in the room let out another roar: "Ah......"
There was a bang, and I heard a loud bang, and one of the load-bearing pillars of the small house tilted to one side, and then the house fell down in one direction.
Li Peiyi and I stood outside the house, both dumbfounded. When we saw Li Dakui crawling out of the thatched pile, we all stood in the heavy rain and swallowed dryly.
Li Dakui walked up to us with an expressionless face, stretched out his hand to wipe off a few thatches on his head, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You go first, I'll go to the village chief!" ”
After Li Dakui finished speaking, he pulled his legs and ran into the valley, where it was the road leading to the village.
"Master, Master...... Don't be impulsive, big man......" I held the child and stood in the heavy rain and shouted, but Li Dakui's footsteps became faster and faster, and soon disappeared from our sight.
"Team leader, what should we do?" At this moment, Li Peiyi asked.
"Let's go, let's take the child to the hospital first!" I didn't ask Li Peiyi to stop Li Dakui, because I knew that it was useless for her to go, if a person of Li Dakui's stature lost his temper, it is estimated that a few cows would not be able to pull it.
I only hope that he won't kill the two brothers of the village chief directly, and I don't think about the rest.
I took Li Peiyi with my child and ran for more than half an hour, until I ran to the reservoir road and drove to our side Yang Lili to catch my breath.
I told Yang Lili about the matter briefly, and told Yang Lili to hurry up to the village to stop Li Dakui and tell him not to kill the two brothers of the village chief. Yang Lili was also worried about Li Dakui, so she didn't say a word, and jumped out of the car and ran towards the village without wearing a raincoat.
As soon as I put my child in the back seat, I jumped into the cab and drove towards the hospital.
After the child was admitted to the emergency room, Li Peiyi and I were able to catch our breath.
After resting at the door for a minute or two, I took out my mobile phone wrapped in a sealed plastic bag in my pocket and called Li Dakui and Yang Lili.
However, none of their phones could get through. It is estimated that the phones of the two people were all flooded.
We waited in the hospital for more than an hour before the child was rescued, and the doctor said that if we had sent it there later, even if the child could be saved, he would have been burned to the point of insanity and become a fool.
After the doctor finished speaking, he asked me again: "What is the matter with the collar and chain around his neck?" ”
