The summer night is long, the mountain breeze is cool, open the car window, and drive in the old mountains and mountains, but also have a special fun. If it is placed on the tourist, with the starlight on his head, shuttling through the thick forest under the moon, it must be a great enjoyment. It's a pity that I am currently chasing and killing gangsters across the border, and I am being framed and besieged by bandits and police in the territory, and I am in danger and precarious, and I am not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery at all.

I drove eastward, hoping to get to Dajiang City before dawn to find Li Yan and her child, Yanyan. But to be honest, up to now, I only know that Yanyan is in the abandoned subway tunnel, but I don't know where Li Yan is, so I only persuade myself to ignore Li Yan first, and go to the tunnel to find Yanyan first. I thought that Li Yan was an adult after all, she could take care of herself, and when she found Yanyan, she would slowly look for it. Besides, I was going to go back to the so-called Hell Fighting Arena to find Wan'er, that is, Lin Xiaowan's whereabouts, I don't know if she ever found my ancient painting. Thinking of the ancient paintings, and the whereabouts of the heirloom jade seals hidden in the ancient paintings, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and the hand holding the steering wheel trembled a little.

That Xuanxuan was a little unhappy because she heard that I was looking for my wife Li Yan, and she was a little embarrassed to think of her previous actions, and she looked a little embarrassed to sit there. After a while, she suddenly sighed and said, "Hey—I've been delayed for you for decades!" ”

I couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade me. Seeing that her eyes were still closed, as if in a dream, I didn't know how to persuade her. I had to give up. Under the light of the stars and the moon, the car went all the way to the north, gradually the terrain was low and flat, the stream was gentle, and after crossing the Yangtze River at three o'clock in the night, it had already driven into the Jianghan Plain, outside the car window. At a glance, the rice and wheat are like the sea, and the wind rises with the waves. Stretching straight to the sky, rows of poplar windbreaks stand straight, floating with silver light, and there are clear canals vertical and horizontal. Sparkling clouds. Don't be a sight. After driving for four or five hours on this boundless plain, we have entered the boundary of Dajiang City, and the sky is also bright, and a red sun will emerge from the horizon. The rivers and lakes of the plains all turned dark and gray. The clouds were accumulating wider and wider, thicker and thicker. It was like smoke and dust rolled up by thousands of horses, rolling from the sky. It wasn't until the whole sky was covered that it was early in the morning, but it was like dusk, and the scenery on both sides of the road became so dark that it was so bad that you had to turn on the headlights to see the oncoming traffic.

When we arrived in Dajiang City, Xuan Xuan and I both felt hungry, parked on the side of the road, and found a breakfast stall to eat two bowls of noodles. In the shop, I noticed that the TV on the wall didn't always have the usual information about my arrest, and the newspaper on the newsstand outside the door no longer had my wanted photo. I thought that Guo Zhenchao couldn't find me, so he would increase publicity and search everywhere, but after a few days, the limelight seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and I was no longer worried that someone would recognize me on the road, and my heart was much more relaxed.

We had breakfast, Xuan Xuan said that she hadn't seen her parents for a few days, and she wanted to go home to see, I was hoping for her to leave, one was because this matter had nothing to do with her, and the other was because she was by her side, after all, I had some scruples, afraid that those gangster killers hidden in the shadows would suddenly appear and hurt her, so I said I would send her back, but after thinking about it, this car was hers, and she changed her mind and asked her to drive the car back, so as not to worry her family, especially her brother Fan Xiaoxiao.

She said, "I'll use the car for you."

I thought about it, rejected her, and explained the reason, it was very simple, we drove this car from Dajiang City to Golden Town, and it turned out that the thunder soldier also suddenly appeared in Golden Town, as well as the five short-shot killers, which is enough to prove that this car has been targeted by the police and gangsters. As long as I drive it, I'll be watched. If she is driven back by Xuanxuan, other people's targets are not her, and she should not be troubled.

Xuan Xuan said, okay, I'll return the car to the little trouble first, you be careful. Then again, I haven't seen him all these days, I don't know where he is? took out the phone and dialed Fan Xiaoxiao, and heard Fan Xiaoxiao complaining over there that he had driven his car away, and he didn't say hello and sneaked around. Xuan Xuan scolded twice, asked him where he was, and said that he wanted to settle accounts with him, but he almost got the automatic locking device to the bottom of the cliff and fell to his death.

After Xuanxuan left, I stopped a taxi to Jiangtan Park to look for the man's little son Yanyan.

After getting off the taxi, I walked to the entrance of the underground parking lot of Jiangtan Park, and saw that the entrance was surrounded by a high iron railing, and a large seal was written on it. Xin said that the police were besieged by poisonous snakes in the hell fight arena that day, and they suffered a lot, and they were unhappy in their hearts, so they sealed him up and couldn't go in again. Then he turned and walked towards the reeds outside the beach. When I got there, I pushed aside the messy grass and saw the familiar secret passage, and I couldn't help but think of the old doctor Fan Changlong who wore a peaked hat and white sideburns, and said in my heart, "That's a good person, although he pretends to see through the world, he is actually enthusiastic and happy, full of benevolence, and took out the chip at the back of my head, otherwise I might be cold now." When I entered the secret passage, turned on the newly bought flashlight, walked for more than ten steps, and heard the old-fashioned Nokia mobile phone left to me by Shen's mother in my arms beep, I took it out and looked at it, and a line of words appeared on the screen, which was Shen's mother's tone: "Come to Dajiang City to find Li Yan!" "The heart said, I found Dajiang City, but it is a huge city with a population of more than 10 million, and there is no specific address to teach me where to find that Li Yan. While thinking, he walked towards the depths of the secret passage.

When I got to the end of the secret passage, I climbed the stairs, carefully pushed open the secret door, got out of the secret passage, crawled outside, and listened to the fighting arena, which was as quiet as death, without any sound, and remembered that a few days ago the lights were dazzling here, and thousands of people shouted, and it was extremely noisy and lively, but now it was a black light, empty, and I couldn't even distinguish the direction. I listened for a while, and after making sure there was no police ambush here, I turned on my flashlight. Looking at the empty square, I saw that the ceiling fell to the ground, revealing four or five large holes. The tables and chairs in the four corners were crooked, accumulating layers of dust, and there were dozens of dead snakes on the ground, emitting bursts of fishy stench. I was nauseated, and quickly covered my nose with my sleeve and walked briskly to the high platform to the south. I don't want to make a muffled noise under my feet and kick on something erect. When I lowered the flashlight, I gasped. Twenty or thirty corpses were lying on the ground in a strange appearance, their clothes torn. Black blood spilled from his mouth, eyes, nose and ears, and his exposed arms and face seemed to be coated with ink, apparently poisoned to death. Needless to say, the poison was spewed out by those poisonous snakes when they bite people. I think of the scene of those poisonous snakes gushing out. Seven or eight points of chill grew down my spine. Hurriedly bypassing the stiff poisonous corpses, he ran to the high platform with his legs drawn, and walked forward along the narrow tunnel where only the two of them could walk side by side. The further you go inside, the more cold it gets, like you're in the most ice cellar.

As I strode forward, I listened carefully to the movement in the tunnel, and I could really only describe the situation in terms of deathly silence, and the more I could hear any sound. Fear is like an ice blade sticking deeper and deeper into the body, if you are a little less courageous. I am afraid that I will be suffocated by the deep darkness and silence, because the mental pressure caused by such a situation is enough to stop breathing, how to put it, it is the feeling of walking in hell. Although none of us have ever been in hell, the feeling at this moment can only be described in such words.

Suddenly, there was a terrible scream from the dreary tunnel, like a gong, but after the scream, it became like a gossamer, "Please, do well, let my child go." The words were full of pleading.

I only heard a man say in a strange voice: "Do you want to live is not, as long as you call your man." As soon as he appears, we will let you and your child go. I heard that voice very familiar, it turned out to be the boss of the Sanhetang, Uncle Dao with a scar on his face, "If your man doesn't show up, our little Sanhetang branch hall master will be dismounted inexplicably." I had no choice but to do so. ”

The woman wept again and said, "My man died three years ago, what are you looking for him?" If he has sinned against you, I will make amends for him, that is, you will kill or chop up, and listen to him. But, only, for the sake of this child's young age, let him live. ”

Uncle Dao suddenly roared, "Damn, don't you shout that little ghost to come out, otherwise I will put a scar on your face and make you the ugliest woman in the world." ”

The woman paused and said, "You devil, you don't spare even a little child, you don't want to die." ”

Uncle Dao sneered strangely and said, "You call that Zuo Yan and ask him to replace you." As he spoke, he said again: "Come, call." ”

"Zuo Yan's phone has long been unreachable." The woman said weakly.

I listened to the conversation between the two, and I was nervous for a while, and I said in my heart, I was looking for Li Yan all over the world, could it be that she fell into this hell, but I couldn't recall the woman's voice in my mind, and I wasn't sure if this woman was her, so I walked step by step to the place where the voice floated.

Uncle Dao scolded in a deep voice: "Mom, who believes it, my wife can't get through to her husband's phone?" Do you want to fight? ”

The woman's voice trembled: "Three years ago, my husband suddenly disappeared, and at first, he was able to get through on the phone, but later, even the number was canceled. Where do I call? ”

As soon as the voice fell, there was a ringing of mobile phone buttons, and when the sound stopped, Uncle Dao's fierce tone sounded again, "Then call your mother and let her find your husband, otherwise, hehe, you can only stay here, and you will never see the light of day." ”

The woman said, "No, my mother doesn't know my husband's whereabouts." ”

Uncle Dao said: "Damn, you don't fight, do you?" Lao Tzu hits. As soon as the button rang, the phone rhythmically beeped out.

I was listening carefully to the conversation between the two, wondering if this woman was Li Yan, listening to the content of the conversation between the two, I guessed that she was the person Shen's mother asked me to find, but I had doubts in my heart, and I only said where was such a coincidence. Besides, I didn't have a grudge against Uncle Dao, and he couldn't treat my family like this. However, listening to what the two of them said, it is indeed very similar to what Yanyan and I said. was swaying from side to side, only to hear the old-fashioned Nokia mobile phone left by Shen's mother in his arms ringing.

Uncle Dao seemed to have heard it and was stunned. couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Zuo Yan, what are you doing hiding there, a turtle with a shrunken head." Your wife is suffering at my hand. If you are a man, stand up for Lao Tzu.

The woman suddenly shouted, "Zuo Yan, what are you doing here, run!" These people are murderous demons. Don't ......" At this point, the voice suddenly cut off.

Uncle Dao roared and said, "Zuo Yan, if you don't come out again, I'll poke a few holes in your wife's throat." ”

Originally. The woman was Li Yan, she came to the hell fighting arena and saw Yan Yan using a gourd to lead a group of snakes to dance. followed him to the mother-in-law's residence, but he didn't want to bump into Uncle Dao, and he sent someone to catch him and put him in the dungeon with Yanyan. Originally. That Uncle Dao just wanted Li Yan to stay with Yanyan. gave Yan Yan to the old lady who had been washing him for many years as a companion, sent him to the end of his life, and let Li Yan go, but who knew that halfway through, he followed the order of the head of the Sanhetang, saying that Sanhetang and the Italian gangsters could make a lot of money by jointly doing a business, so that he could find a way to catch Zuo Yan and sue him. Zuo Yan's son and wife both came to Dajiang City, and the son's name is Yanyan. His wife's name is Li Yan. He also said that if he couldn't find Zuo Yan, he, the hall master of the branch, would have to let Xian, that is, let someone else take his place. When Uncle Dao heard this, he was upset, and said in his heart, that Zuo Yan is a murderer, and the police can't chase him, but where can he find him? But he suddenly remembered that a child raised by the old witch was called Yan Yan, and his heart said, if that Yan Yan is Zuo Yan's son, it will save me trouble, but I thought about it again, the name Yan Yan is very ordinary, and there are hundreds of children called Yan Yan in this world, so where could Yan Yan be so coincidental that the main hall is looking for. However, there was such a child in this tunnel, and he was very unwilling to ask, so he walked lazily to the old witch, but on the way, he encountered a group of policemen making trouble in the technical ring, and he had to leave this matter aside for the time being, and go to the scene to deal with the policemen. When the police retreated to the field, he went to the old witch to find out the child's authenticity, and he didn't want to bump into Li Yan holding Yanyan and walking out, and heard that Yanyan calling Li Yan's mother, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he ordered someone to lock the mother and son in the dungeon together, so that he could finish dealing with the current affairs in the hall, and then come to torture Li Yan about Zuo Yan's whereabouts.

Besides, there was an old man locked on the stone pillar of this dungeon, his face was full of stubble and unkempt, his face was almost dusty, his hands and feet were covered with iron chains, and he could only walk about ten steps left and right. The old man saw Li Yan's mother and son, and pretended to be the king of hell. scared Li Yan's mother and son so much that their faces turned pale. Later, Li Yan saw the old man wearing a pair of eyes by the bright light of the mobile phone screen, although he was ragged and covered with mud, he looked quite Confucian, so he talked to him, only to know that the old man was originally a researcher of an archaeological institute, and somehow he was tied here by a group of people to ask him to confess Zuo Yan's whereabouts. He said that he had only seen an ancient painting for Zuo Yan, and he didn't know where Zuo Yan lived or where he had been. However, the group said that Zuo Yan began to investigate the mystery of his life experience after listening to his analysis of ancient paintings. said that he must have found some clues in the ancient paintings, and asked him to explain the whereabouts of the ancient paintings and tell the whereabouts of Zuo Yan. Seeing that he could not speak, he locked him in this dungeon.

Li Yan originally saw that this old man was talking upside down, and only said that he was a madman, hiding in the corner of the dungeon with his son, and did not dare to get close to him, but when he talked to him, he realized that he had also suffered from Zuo Yan's sin, and couldn't help but sympathize with him, so he told the truth that he and Yanyan were Zuo Yan's wife and children, and apologized to him on behalf of Zuo Yan, and apologized to Zuo Yan for causing him to be involved. However, the old man was also very gracious, saying that it didn't matter about their mother and son, if he hadn't been tempted by the value of that ancient painting, and tried every means to find an auction company for Zuo Yan, and didn't make those phone calls to Zuo Yan, he wouldn't have been discovered by the gangsters and caught in this dungeon. He said that this is a kind of cause and effect, and the cause and effect are all sins of his own making.

Later, Yan Yan found a piece of scrap iron wire in the corner of the dungeon, and the old man actually used this scrap wire to open the shackles and handcuffs, and used the scrap wire to break the fence of the dungeon and escape. Because the fence of the dungeon was more than two meters high from the ground, and it was difficult to use his hands and feet, after the old man went outside the fence, Li Yan first carried Yanyan to the outside of the fence, followed by the old man, and then climbed the fence by himself, not wanting to be discovered by the thugs guarding the dungeon, and caught her. The thug wanted to go into the fence to chase the old man and Yan Yan, but the fence window door was very small, and he could only stick out a head, but his shoulder was stuck, and he couldn't get out for half a point, and he wanted to find another fork in the road to enter the tunnel outside the fence, but found that the tunnel was an independent water hole, and he couldn't get into it at all, so he had to let the old man lead Yan Yan out of the dungeon. When Uncle Dao learned about it, he arrested Li Yan for interrogation and asked her to call Yanyan back. I don't want to be heard by me sneaking into the tunnel.

I heard Li Yan's voice suddenly interrupted, as if she was stuck in my throat, and suddenly I heard her shouting again: "Yanyan, my son, don't come out." Get out of this hell and be a ......mother when you grow up," he said, and his voice suddenly broke again, and only a gurgling sound came out of his throat.

Uncle Dao said fiercely: "Damn, it's okay if you don't call that little rabbit back, on the ground in this Dajiang City, you can't escape from my palm." I'm not afraid that fool Zuo Yan won't come. ”

When I heard the woman shout "Yanyan, my son", I knew that this woman was Li Yan, and I didn't know where I got the courage, so I ran wildly towards the voice, shouting loudly: "Stop, Zuo Yan is here." After turning a corner, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of me, which was emitted by an energy-saving lamp, white, like a knife light, which made my eyes hurt.

I quickly appeared in the white light, and saw that Uncle Dao was holding a shining dagger in his hand, and blood was dripping from it, and he was not alone, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed men with thick shoulders and round waists, sitting or standing, looking at me with slanted eyes. Opposite them, a woman in a grey skirt with a silk shawl on her shoulders, her hands cut behind her back, was tied to a stone pillar. The woman had delicate eyebrows, short ear-length hair, a slightly higher nose than the average person, and a bit of a mixed-race appearance, but her skin was slightly dark, but that just showed her difference. This woman is the woman I saw in the photo in the antique shop in the Golden Town.

When the woman saw me, her face was filled with joy, and she opened her teeth to call me, but her mouth only gurgled out. I ran up to her and grabbed her neck as hard as I could. There was a knife cut, and blood was pouring out. However, no matter how hard my palms were and how neat the fingers were, the boiling blood still overflowed my palms.

Li Yan looked at me, her lips trembled, one by one, she looked very excited, but she couldn't say half a word, but her eyes were clearly with a satisfied smile. For a while, the sunshine of the past, the happy picture of the past, appeared in front of me like the light boat in the golden river, and all the memories suddenly revived here.

I called out in a trembling voice: Li Yan! I am back!

She nodded happily, and then, her gaze began to drift, began to dim, and gradually lost her lustre.

This woman who was the most lovely to me never imagined that she would be anxious about my safety until she finally went before me. I knew that on the other side of the world, her father, my teacher, and my father-in-law, Li Yuepu, were waiting for her, and they were reunited there, waiting for me to bring me good news about ancient paintings and heirloom jade seals.

I yelled in my heart, my dear, go with peace of mind, I will not let you down.

I untied the ropes on Li Yan's body, gently placed her delicate body on the ground, turned around, and pounced on the group of heartless devils. (To be continued......)
