Chapter 40: Hostages
Due to the urgency of time, we got together to discuss, and felt that it was difficult to start with too many people, and the best thing was to sneak in secretly. Who will do this? In terms of getting up, Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian are the ones who will do it, plus we were hired by Song Qiaoming to do things this time, and if something happens, we naturally have to take a headrest, at that moment, there are Tan Jian and Zhou Xuanye, with the fat man and Ermao, the four of them began to sneak towards the village, and the rest of us stayed on the high ground, closely watching the situation below.
I was nervous. They have gone deep into the tigers, and those tigers still have guns, so I hope everything goes well.
Although it is far away from the village, the depressing and tense atmosphere still hangs over everyone's heads, making people dare not even come out. The voice was subconsciously lowered. After waiting for about twenty minutes, the village was still calm, and I don't know if Tan Jian and the four of them had sneaked in.
The wait became extraordinarily long, and I had to glance at my watch from time to time. After burying the waist pot, I have some money left in my hand, so this time I went out, I bought everything I should have bought, this watch is mainly waterproof and shockproof, which comes from the experience of soaking in underground water in the desert.
At this moment, the pointer clearly tells us that more than an hour has passed, and the time is already more than four o'clock, not long before dawn.
Seeing that there is calm in the village, that is to say, Tan Jian and the others have not been exposed, this is obviously a good situation, but I don't know where they have come.
Just as I was thinking about it, in the dark mountains, in the quiet village, there was a sudden 'bang'. I was stunned for a moment before I realized that it was gunshots! This is the first time I've heard a real gunshot, and it's still different from the processed sound in the movie.
The sound of gunfire pierced the quiet night, and in less than ten seconds, the lights of the entire village were lit up, and I chuckled in my heart, and as far away, I could only see many figures rushing out of the room. Song Qiaoming shouted badly: "I was discovered!" ”
Junko on the side said: "Hey, come out, you see, he has a person in his hand." "What Shunzi said is no one else, it is Zhou Xuanye, at this moment, Zhou Xuanye and the four of them are in a circle back to back, and in his hand, he also grabbed a hostage.
Because they were standing sideways, we couldn't see the front of the hostage, but although the group of people held guns at Zhou Xuanye and the four of them, none of them dared to really shoot. At the same time, the fat man's shout came from below the village: "Come down and get the equipment!" ”
This was evidently said to us, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing for a moment how the situation could have become like this, so they hurried down from the high ground, and after a while, they also reached the open space of the village. Immediately some of the people who surrounded us began to point their guns at us.
At this time, I was surprised to find that the hostage in Zhou Xuanye's hand was none other than the fairy-like eldest sister!
Capture the thief and capture the king first, no wonder these people are so nervous, but the boss was arrested by Zhou Xuanye. This boss should have been attacked while sleeping, wearing pajamas, snow-white, and a beautiful face with a fairy spirit, which made me involuntarily think of the 'Little Dragon Girl'.
At this time, Tan Jian said in a deep voice: "The equipment is in the inner room, you take the equipment and leave first." As he spoke, he gave the fat man and Ermao beside him a look, apparently asking them to go first with him. Seeing this situation, Song Qiaoming didn't say a word and beckoned everyone to move the equipment, but at this time, the eldest sister who was caught by Zhou Xuanye said coldly: "Don't let any of them go!" ”
More than a dozen of them rushed to us, and there was only one hostage in our hands, it seemed that we had lost the upper hand, but the identity of this hostage was not simple, and based on this alone, I was already sure in my heart that this group of people would not dare to shoot.
There was also the old lady in the crowd who slapped us before, and said angrily: "It's the other way around, I knew it was like this, I should have abolished you one by one earlier!" ”
Tan Jian obviously still remembered the grudge, he didn't attack this old lady, but used his gloved hand, snapped, and directly slapped the person in Zhou Xuanye's arms four big slaps, fairy-like people, and suddenly the face of the beaten was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, which shows that Tan Jian used a lot of strength.
Obviously, this is venting her anger on this eldest sister.
The eldest sister was still indifferent at first, and was brushed down by Tan Jian's four slaps, her calm expression was broken, and her eyes were almost spitting fire, staring at Tan Jian fiercely. Tan Jian suddenly smiled and said, "Look again, I'll dig out one of your eyeballs, and do what I say." As he spoke, the dagger in his hand pressed diagonally on the eldest sister's face, and in an instant, there was an extra blood mark on her face.
At this moment, the eldest sister screamed: "You dare to touch my face!" As soon as she shouted, I remembered the words of the more than 20 people before, this eldest sister paid a lot of attention to her face and maintenance, and spent a lot of effort on it, obviously she was extremely concerned about her appearance, Tan Jian now used a dagger to cut her face, although the wound was not big, only about one centimeter, but it was enough to make this woman crazy.
After she finished shouting, Tan Jian sneered and said, "According to my previous temper, I will at least cut twenty knives in your face." However, we have a task in place this time, and we don't have any extra effort to spend with you, and the equipment is returned, and we will leave, otherwise we will ......"
The old lady on the other side looked hideous and said, "Otherwise, what do you want?" ”
Tan Jian was lukewarm, his gloved hand grabbed the eldest sister's throat, lifted it up slightly, and said, "Then I'll slowly play with her to death." As soon as she dies, maybe you'll be the boss, and speaking of which, I'll still help you. ”
As soon as these words came out, I found that the eldest sister's originally fire-breathing eyes suddenly flashed, and the old lady who was called the third sister on the opposite side also showed a strange look on her face, and then, she made a move with her hand, as if she was going to give some order, and at this moment, the eldest sister who was restrained by Zhou Xuanye suddenly said: "Put down the gun!" ”
I didn't expect Tan Jian to sow discord and play so quietly, before this eldest sister still looked like she was unyielding, but now it seems that she has other ideas in her heart.
The people around looked at each other, and finally let go of the gun. The woman said in a deep voice, "You really don't want to make trouble? ”
Zhou Xuanye also followed: "You take your single-plank bridge, I cross my Yangguan Road, originally the well water does not interfere with the river water, did you come to provoke us first?" My brother said, there is a mission on us, and I don't have time to entangle with you, so we took the equipment and left. ”
The eldest sister gritted her teeth and ordered, "Let them go." ”
At this time, Song Qiaoming and the others also took out all the equipment that we had been looted before, and Zhou Xuanye gave me a look and motioned for us to go first.
I didn't say much, I immediately retreated with Song Qiaoming and others, and the two sides agreed to follow the original route, and then Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian would rush to meet us. Now we can't retreat together, retreat together, these people are likely to follow us, Zhou Xuanye and the two did not leave together, just to create a chance for us to get out completely.
Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, and they left without saying a word.
We carried our equipment and went according to the original plan, and as for the twenty or so people we tied to the tree, the traffickers should have searched for their traces afterwards, and it would not be difficult to find them, so we didn't bother.
In order to completely get rid of this group of people, our group did not dare to stop, from the dark and numb sky in the early morning, until the dawn of the day, and from the day, until the night, to make sure that the group of people will not chase after them again, then we breathed a sigh of relief, one by one crooked and fell to the ground, tired and unable to climb.
At this moment, we are very close to entering Myitkyina, and after walking for another five or six hours, we will be able to enter Myitkyina Burma, but we really don't have the strength anymore, and we have been walking all night and day, and it is good to be able to hold on until now.
Due to its proximity to Myitkyina, the surrounding trees became very dense, and under the light of the flashlight, the big trees formed huge black shadows, with teeth and claws, like demons and monsters dead. In the air, there was a unique smell of trees, mixed with the smell of primeval forest humour, which was not so good, but everyone still took a big breath.
It wasn't until my body, which was hot from exercise, cooled down, that I said, "Let's camp here and wait for the boss." ”
Song Qiaoming didn't have any opinions, nodded, and added: "Tonight's vigil, one on the ground and one on a tree, stand high and look far away, don't be drugged again." ”
They set up camp and waited for others to rest and waited for the night, and divided into two groups to take turns keeping vigil, and I was assigned to the middle shift, so as soon as I got into the tent, I slept in the dark.
