Chapter 52: Another Danger
When I woke up again, I opened my eyes and found myself in a spacious room, the light above my head was so hot and blinding that my eyes could not see for a while, and when I got used to it, I could see ten strangers standing not far away, my backpack and a pile full of equipment the size of a tent.
I felt a slight chill on my face, as if it was a water stain, and I reached out to wipe it off, but I couldn't lift my arm, and then I realized that I seemed to be tied to this chair by these people.
Looking to the side again, the smoker with his chest clothes stained red with blood also appeared in the same posture, so I hurriedly turned my head to look at the other side, and finally did not see the other four, and the tension in my heart couldn't help but relax: fortunately, the four of them were not caught.
"Hey, boy, what are you looking for?" A big man nearby saw that I was awake, and when he came over, he slapped me in the face, and it hurt.
"Who are you?" I'm not annoyed or angry, in this case, pretending to be a grandson is the best choice.
The big man was about to fight again, but at this time, a man in his fifties, who seemed to be their boss, dressed plainly and with a kind face, stepped forward and blocked the big man's hand.
"Young man, can you tell me where you found these things?" The boss asked, pointing to my bag of jade.
My mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what reason to make up to be able to deceive him, these people are not good at first glance, plus the old man said before, now in this Changsha County, all kinds of tomb robbers gathered together, it is not difficult to guess, I am afraid that these people are also a tomb robbing team, if it is true, my jewelry, they are afraid that they will know that it is not modern at a glance.
"Those were found by our two brothers in a cave."
The boss smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth raised, and his face leaned towards me, "Oh? Can you take us to this cave? ”
"I'm afraid there is no way, the cave was washed away by the water, and the two of us were washed out along the water, and it is impossible to enter it again."
"Oh, young man, you see, I have been kind enough to tell you, but you are not willing to tell the truth. It seems that it is not possible to suffer a little. After saying that, the boss snapped his fingers, and the strong man stepped forward and slapped me in the face again, and then punched me in the stomach, causing my waist to bend.
"Are you willing to tell the truth?"
"That's the truth, I really can't find it." I replied bitterly.
"Come again!" After this round, I can't remember how many times he hit, I only felt every muscle in my body screaming in pain, my mind began to wander, I didn't listen to the call, my eyelids were heavy and about to fall, and my throat wanted to scream but couldn't.
The smoker also woke up, and when he saw the strong man beating me, he immediately shouted, "Stop, stop." ”
The big man stopped when he heard the sound, the blood slowly flowed from the corner of my mouth, and I lowered my head, not even having the strength to open my mouth.
"Yo, young man, your friend is awake, let's see what he has to say?" The boss jokingly walked up to the smoker and asked, "Little brother, can you tell me where you got these things?" ”
The smoker tilted his head and looked him in the eye, "Can you smoke a cigarette?" ”
"Huh?" Apparently the boss didn't expect the smoker to ask such a question, "Come on, smoke one." He shoved a cigarette into the smoker's mouth and lit it.
"As for the jewels, we picked them up, in a cave. Then inexplicably there was a big flood, and the two of us were rushed to faint, and when we woke up, we were tied up here by you, but then again, what are we doing with us? ”
Strange, how did the smoker's answer look like I made it up? I thought of only one possibility in an instant, he had already woken up!
The boss looked a little impatient, "Turtle son, tell me quickly, how many of you are here?" Where did the others go? We people only want to get rich, we don't want to kill people, but if we block our money, we have to kill even if we don't want to. ”
"Hahahaha!" The smoker spit out the cigarette butt and suddenly laughed, "I would have said no, come, come closer, and I'll tell you how to get into that big tomb." ”
The boss believed it, and immediately bent down and leaned over, and before he could speak, the smoker suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed his head, and pushed his knees up, and with a "bang", the boss's nose covered his face with blood and fell to the side. The smoker turned over and grabbed the chair and smashed it on the back of the big man who had just beaten me, and when he landed, the wooden chair was torn apart, leaving only two chair legs in the hands of the smoker, and the strong man fell to the ground in response, and the eight people behind saw the smoker and flattened the two of them in a blink of an eye, and they all held machetes and rushed towards him.
The smoker was not afraid, and the two chair legs hit the machete with such a loud sound that the knife flew straight away, the left hand flew away, and the right chair leg hit a person's head mercilessly.
Flattened one, the remaining seven were a little clubbed, pacing around the smoker, not daring to step forward, seeing this, my strength recovered somewhat, and my arms collapsed violently, trying to break free from the binding rope. But I had no choice but to be injured too badly before, and no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't succeed.
The boss on the ground over there covered his nose and roared, "Kill him!" ”
When the seven people heard the boss's order, they dared not obey, and rushed up with their knives, wanting to hack the smoker to death with a knife.
The Smoker had never seen such a battle, but he was quick to react. One squatted, slid forward, shoveled a strong man, grabbed his two legs, and swung and smashed at the other six, who couldn't retract their knives, and the edge of the knife slid over the man's body like a slice, and blood splattered.
The boss struggled to his feet, yelled angrily, and drew the pistol at his waist to aim.
The boss was holding a gun, hearing the sound of my side, and seeing my body become smaller, my eyes were about to pop out, my hands trembled, and the pistol fell to the ground with a "bang".
"You, you, are you a human or a ghost?" He pointed his finger at me, completely losing the domineering smell of a moment ago, and his body fell back uncontrollably.
To be honest, at this time, I didn't have the strength to throw even a punch, I just tried my best to maintain a standing posture in the fox's fake tiger power.
The smoker over there had successfully dealt with the seven people, although he had also received two shallow cuts on his arm, I saw him throw away the two cracked chair legs, pick up a machete, and the blood flowing from the wound flowed down his arm to the blade, the tip of the knife hit the ground, bringing out a slippery 'ding' sound, picked up the two backpacks on their backs, and then walked towards the boss.
The sound of "ding" hit his heart one by one, and his feet softened, and he fell to the ground with a "snap".
The smoker stood in front of him, looked at him condescendingly, and asked viciously, "Where did you find the two of us?" Did you see anyone else? ”
"Brother and brother." The boss clasped his hands together, "You really misunderstood, but we didn't find out, it was late last night, an old man carried the two of you to me, saying that as long as we scare and scare you, make you afraid, go home, the two bags of property will belong to me, no, I also had a crooked idea for a while, and wanted to ask where I got these good things, which caused this big misunderstanding." ”
"Huh?" The smoker looked at me, but I was confused.
At that time, the first thing in my head should have been that the old man of the Mingle Guest House had sent me and the smoker here, but after I described the appearance of the old man Hu to the boss, he was very firm that it was definitely not.
The boss said, "I haven't even been able to see his face completely, the man is wearing a cloak woven of grass leaves, dressed in gray as if he had been dressed decades ago, his tone is vicissitudes, his speech is sonorous and powerful, mainly because of the momentum, it is really scary, he is just standing in front of the house with you on his back, and my useless subordinates don't even have the courage to take a step forward." I'm not afraid of jokes when I say it, even I'm about the same, I don't dare to get close to him at all. He has laid you down, and after he has told you what he is to do, he walks out into the night with a cane. ”
Seeing that I couldn't ask any more questions, I moved my steps to go out, but the smoker's palm flipped over, and the knife was turned away from the boss, and he was stunned with a "bang", and then he threw the knife, supported my arm, and the two of them staggered out of the room.
The moon outside the house is like day, and it seems that there is farmland in front of me, and there is a big mountain behind the house, and there is farmland that proves that there should be people living nearby, the smoker helped me, and staggered towards a house with the lights still on in the distance, after a lot of hardships, I wanted to lie down and sleep in the ground several times on the way, thanks to the persistence of the smoker, I finally arrived at the door of the house, knocked on the door, made up a lie about climbing the mountain and fell down, and gave the owner two hundred dollars, He tricked us into moving a utility room where firewood was piled up on a regular basis, and we went in, bolted the door, threw our backpacks to the side, and threw them all down on the dry grass.
