10. Disgusting familiar faces
Since I got this hemophilia, my shili at night has improved a lot, but that doesn't mean I can see everything clearly without light at all, I can only barely see two meters in front of my feet in this dark rumbling tunnel, and this tunnel is full of all kinds of bends and turns, and if I don't pay attention, I will hit the wall, which also makes it more difficult for me to escape.
The two men who chased after them had torches in their hands, and they arrived before the light of the torches could come. The light of the fire also illuminates my path, and although it is not strong, my eyes can see everything in front of me clearly.
I raised my speed to the fastest speed I could achieve in this kind of terrain, but the footsteps behind me were still getting closer, and I guess I wouldn't get to the exit or I would be caught by them!
Can't run!
Damn it! Fight!
I cursed in my mind, and then after turning a corner close to 90 degrees, I immediately braked and turned, then tightened the handle of the dagger with my left hand, pulled off the scabbard with my right hand, and then I took the pickaxe off my belt with my right hand. I have weapons in both my left and right hands, which has added a lot of courage to me.
Come on! Grandpa fought with you!!
I silently cheered myself up, my eyes fixed on the fire that was rapidly approaching from the corner of the tunnel.
The beating light of the fire was almost instantaneously around the corner, and I could even see the tip of the torch.
Strike first!
I made up my mind to rush forward, but before I could take a step, my ankle was grabbed, and a swift force pulled me towards the corner of the tunnel.
Suddenly, I didn't have any defense, and I was dragged to the ground by that liliang. I couldn't hold the ground with my hands with weapons in both hands, so I landed directly on my shoulders and fell strongly.
Before I could figure out what was going on, another force came from my ankle, and I slid against the floor of the tunnel as if it were against the wall of the tunnel. At the corner between the wall and the ground there was a black rumbling square opening, and I was jerked into that opening by the liliang, and then fell into a puddle of stinky water with a pop.
The water was so deep that I guess it would be up to my waist at least.
I struggled to get up from the water, but my hand reached over and covered my mouth.
I was about to swing the dagger in my left hand to stab the man covering my mouth, when suddenly a flash of fire lit up from the square opening where I had burrowed into the stinking canal, and the faint light of the fire penetrated into the water and allowed me to see the face of the man covering my mouth!
Damn, it's a familiar face!
I quickly withdrew the knife in my left hand and held my breath to keep my body still.
Slowly, I sank to the bottom of the canal with the man who covered my mouth, and the whole surface of the water gradually returned to calm.
The firelight flickered a few times on the water and then left, and then the footsteps faded away.
The two of us held our breath in the water for at least a minute, until the sound of the footsteps that had gone away came back, and then disappeared and disappeared, and then the man I covered my mouth took his hand away.
As soon as his hand was withdrawn, I quickly propped myself under the water and poked my head out of the canal.
The not-so-fresh air immediately poured into my body from my mouth and nose, and my heartbeat, which had slowed to the limit, quickly returned to normal. After taking two deep breaths in a row, I immediately asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm supposed to ask you this question, right? How did you get here? ”
A nasty guy posed me a rhetorical question that I didn't want to answer at all. I really want to see my acquaintance safe and sound, but the scope of this "acquaintance" definitely does not include Chang Le, but it was this long-winded boy with thick eyebrows who appeared in front of me at this very time and place.
His cap was gone, and his wet round head made him look like a hedgehog.
"Hey, hey, I'm kind enough to save you, don't you say anything xiexie, there's no need to stare at me with that kind of look now, right? We're really in the same boat now! Chang Le lowered his voice and said to me.
He's right, whether I hate him or not, he's not my enemy in this situation, and he did save me just now. I took a deep breath again, suppressed the disgust I had for Chang Le as much as I could, and then said to him with great difficulty, "Thank you just now." ”
"You're still talking about it reluctantly!"
"Damn!" I didn't hide my dislike for Chang Le, and scolded him directly, and he was really looking for a scolding, and he was still complaining about me at this time.
Chang Le grinned at me without a trace of nervousness, "Don't get excited, count me wrong!" ”
"You just don't have the fuck to find a pump!" I angrily said to him, "What about the others? What about Qiao Wei? ”
Chang Le didn't turn his face at me, but shrugged his shoulders there and said, "He? Ran away, and I don't know what happened to him now. ”
"You mean he's alive?"
"At least Zuihou was still alive when he ran away with him."
"And why is his clothes out there?" I pressed on.
"That kid is quite good, he made a moving mud man, and then put his clothes on the mud man and lured away the madmen."
Mud Arhat!
Sister Qiao came back for a while, and it was impossible for her to not teach his son the unique skills she had researched, but Qiao Wei, the kid, did not report his learning progress to me.
Now it seems that Qiao Wei should not be in this tunnel, and I suddenly feel very regretful, I shouldn't have entered this place at all. Fortunately, the two madmen who were chasing me have already gone back, and I can climb out and go back the way I came.
I didn't say a word of nonsense to Chang Le, wading straight to the square mouth that looked like a sewer mouth, ready to go out.
But as soon as I put my hand on the edge of the exit, Chang Le pressed my shoulder from behind and said, "Where are you going?" ”
"Get out!"
"Don't, since you're here, let's help!"
"Help? How can it help? I asked.
"Our people are ......"
"Who's with you? It's your people!! I interrupted angrily.
"Okay, okay! Several of our men have been captured by them and are now locked up in a cow cage! I've been looking for a chance to rescue them, but it's a little difficult for me to be alone, and you just happened to come in, so do me a favor to rescue them, only if there are more people, our chances of survival will increase! ”
Chang Le's expression suddenly became very serious when he spoke, and it seemed that he really wanted to save people from the bottom of his heart, but I didn't want to believe it!
A few months ago, Qiao Wei was framed and forced to leave the Bazhai Hall. Although Chang Le said that he appeared in Harbin for the sake of the White Python Immortal, according to my investigation, Chang Le himself also appeared in that building on the night Qiao Wei was attacked, and it is likely that he also shot when he stunned Qiao Wei.
Regardless of whether he is acting like he is his own master or not, I absolutely do not believe that he is the kind of character who sacrifices himself to save others in the face of righteousness, and he must have another purpose for asking me to help him!
"What exactly do you want to play?" I asked warily.
"I said, big brother, don't be suspicious, I'm still going to play tricks with you at this point? You must have seen it when you came in, those crazy people are cannibals, and they are different from us! We're going to need manpower to leave, at least a few more sentry guards when we sleep, a few more to help us carry bullets even if we get a gun, and a sailor to grab a ship! We're going to have to have enough people to get out of here, you know what I mean? We've got to save people!! ”
This kid finally spoke his mind.
