Originally, I thought that the iron door was easy to open, but who knew that the door pivot was also made of iron, because it was in disrepair, most of the paint was peeling off, and it took a lot of effort to loosen it slightly. The iron door creaked a dozen times before a crack was revealed.

No light came in, just a loud bang, woo-woo through the crack in the door. The sound shook the earth, like the roar of a monster underground, making people's eardrums ache and their hearts were broken.

As soon as I let go of my hand, the thick iron door bounced back with a muffled thud, and the tunnel became quiet again.

"Where does this tunnel lead?" I asked Fan Xuanxuan.

"I don't know, I just learned that there is such a secret way." There was no trace of blood on her pink face, obviously frightened by the strange sound just now.

I wanted to hug her and comfort her, but suddenly I didn't feel like it was appropriate. Although there was an intimate act just now, but at this time, it has returned to the strange state it once had.

She sensitively sensed the change in me, and pouted a little pale and said, "Just now, just let me not say it." You're ...... now," she stopped, tears rolling in her eyes, and she looked miserable.

The woman in front of me has no other impression in my memory than that of a beautiful neurologist. To me, she was still a stranger. From her words, I understood that we might have been college classmates in the past, and that I had pursued her madly. But at the moment, all I could think about was how to get out of this secret passage, away from the policemen who were ready to kill me.

I put my palm on her shoulder and patted it as a sign of comfort.

"Did your father tell you about this secret passage?" When I was in the living room of her house, I heard her calling her dad on her phone.

"yes," she recalled. It was too noisy in the room at the time, and I just heard him say that there was a secret passage in the cabinet under the Bogu shelf. The stinky cops started banging on the door, and I couldn't make out what he was saying. "Suddenly. She was shocked and said, "How strange! Now that I think about it. Dad told me about this secret passage. Definitely knew we were surrounded by police. But how did Dad know? ”

I wiped the cold sweat from the corner of my forehead, "With so many policemen surrounding the building, even the road is blocked, who wouldn't know?" ”

"But," Fan said thoughtfully, "there are so many residents in the building, how does he know that the police are targeting us?" ”

"It's a little weird! If you're not mistaken, your dad should know about this secret passage. Ask him, at least he knows where the tunnels lead. The strange sound just now was really terrifying. I took a few steps towards the front of the tunnel.

The tunnel is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop on the ground. She pulled out her phone, and the sound of keys began to echo between the towering walls, followed by a maddening blind sound. "Ahh She held her phone above her head and said in disappointment.

In the dim light, I saw a ladder made of U-shaped steel bars on the left wall, straight, 30 centimeters in a step. A tiny point of light leading to the top of the high wall, "There's a ladder here, maybe there's an exit to the ground." It looks like we're underground. I said.

Looking up at the tiny point of light again, he saw that it was at least forty meters away. The marks on the wall could still be seen within a few meters of the line of sight, and then they were blurred and dim, and the area around the light point was even darker. I hooked my fingers onto the U-shaped bars in close proximity. After pulling harder twice, the rebar seemed to take root in the concrete wall. Motionless.

"I'll go up there and have a look." I say.

Fan Xuanxuan raised her tight chin and covered her forehead with her slender hands. Looking overhead, he was stunned and said, "It's so high, it's too dangerous!" ”

Listening to her words, I thought to myself, if I climbed into the air, if I was a little careless, and I would fall down, I would definitely be crushed, and I couldn't help but gasp, and my legs trembled by themselves, and I felt that my whole body was sore. I remembered that the whole family bucket sent by the KFC driver just now didn't have time to take a bite.

She frowned, "I'm afraid this is four or five stories high, how can I climb it?" ”

I felt my empty belly, and I was so hungry that I panicked, but the thought of such a flowery woman trying to help me fall into the ground made me feel a little more courageous, "You should be able to climb up to it by stepping on these steel ladders." ”

"I can't climb that high." She said, "It's scary to look at." ”

Thinking that she almost wanted to kill me in order to help me, I was very reluctant to go, "I'm a suspect, it doesn't matter if I die here, you have nothing to do with the police, but I can't let you suffer here with me." No matter what, I want to get you out safely. ”

She listened to my words very sincerely, and a warmth welled up in her heart, and she smiled and said, "Give you some strength." Gently shook his shoulders and walked up to me. Looking at her red lips, which had regained a few shades, I thought she was going to give her a kiss, but she magically took out two burgers from behind her and shook them in front of my eyes.

I was amazed and said, "When did you take it, I didn't see you have this in your hand just now?" ”

She put the burger in my hand, and when I asked, two blush appeared on her face.

It dawned on me that I had buried my head and face in her chest in the iron cabinet just now, and I was holding these two burgers.

It turned out that after she learned from her father that there was a secret passage in the storage room, she was going to let her younger brother Fan Xiaoxiao take me into the secret passage, but she crawled on the ground and watched for a while but did not see Xiaoxiao, and said in her heart that her brother was not a criminal, as long as he hid it well and was not hit by stray bullets, even if he was caught by the police, he would not be in danger. Seeing me hiding under the bar, he crawled up to me, and when he passed the coffee table, he saw the family bucket on top of it, and picked up two burgers and stuffed them into his corset.

I devoured the burger, rested against the cold wall, and turned to look at Fan Xuanxuan, where I found her sitting on a stone platform, her white and gray knee-length skirt stained. But she didn't seem to care too much about the stained dress, her hands were on her jade knees, her cheeks were propped up, and she looked at me affectionately.

"Dr. Fan," I said, "were we really classmates in the past?" ”

Her face was grim, "Call Doctor Fan again, I'm going to scold you." Call me Xuanxuan. ”

"That's good. Xuan Xuan. I quickly changed my words, "I don't have any impression in my head." ”

"You'll remember. Wait for the chip in the back of your head to come out. She frowned.

Thinking about his bizarre loss of ancient paintings. Strangely becoming a murderer again, I said with some frustration: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day." ”

Fan Xuanxuan suddenly said with great disdain: "Hmph." Can't wait for that day? You deserve it!"

I looked at her, confused.

"You tell me honestly, did you insist on studying abroad because you took a fancy to that woman?"

I stammered, "Which woman?" ”

"Hmph, which woman? If I hadn't known you had amnesia. I'm going to show me if you die today. ”

I didn't know what I had done to be sorry for her in the past, and I looked at her apologetically.

She glanced at me and said, "You have amnesia now, I don't care about you." However, women are cautious. I must come out with this bad breath, and I must make it clear to you that I am not brain-dead. Before leaving the country, I will see you off at the airport. You swore to me that you would definitely come back and marry me, and you would not fall in love with other women, otherwise you would not die a good death. I was so glad to hear you that I was so happy that you called me as soon as you arrived in Milan. Stipulate that you video with me at least once a day and return to your home country at least twice a semester. You said yes. Behold...... Hmph, you stinky man who doesn't keep your word. ”

"How...... ...... I was at the time? I asked, confused.

"Who knew that you didn't even have a phone call after you went abroad. I offered to call you. You never answered. I'm afraid that you will have an accident, so I asked a friend abroad to inquire. I even went to the Chinese Consulate General in Milan to find out your news, but Mr. Liao, the Consul General, told me that there is no such person as you in Milan. She said indignantly, "You tell me honestly." Did you even change your name to avoid me? ”

I listened to her get more and more bizarre. But I don't have any impression in my head.

"Ah...... Actually, there is such a thing......"

"Hmph. I am a jade girl, a goddess in the eyes of others. But you have treated me like a piece of. ”

"In my eyes...... You are also a woman, a goddess. I say from the bottom of my heart.

When she heard this, her face couldn't help but feel a little more graceful, "Do you really think so?" ”

"It's a blessing for any man to be able to marry you!" I say it from the bottom of my heart. I thought she would turn her anger into joy, but she said with resentment, "You stinky man, you like to smear honey on your mouth to make me happy." You said the same thing at the beginning, but why did you marry that black woman as your wife? As a result, I am still alone, and I have become a problem woman in the eyes of others, an older leftover woman. Tell me, a woman's youth can have geometry, look at my life has been ruined by you......"

Later, the more she spoke, the more she couldn't help herself, and she began to cry, and the tears were like crystals, falling straight down in strings.

To be honest, I don't believe that my past self seems to be so unkind, but seeing her shoulders shaking and her voice choking, it also made me restless, helpless, and I couldn't find a thoughtful word to comfort her, so I couldn't stop scolding myself for being a bastard, not a thing, and mistaking the beauty scene.

She cried for a while, stretched out her fingers to wipe away the tears, and said sadly, "I know that you are in danger now, and I shouldn't have told you this, but my grievances for so many years have almost suffocated me to death." You've done such a ruthless job, and you won't blame me if I say this, right? ”

She has been deceived several times by the me in her heart, making her youth barren, but she misses the old love and sacrifices her life to save her, try to see how many women today can do it. Although I don't know what happened to me in the past, I missed this fairy-like woman, but I also know that this love and affection are not easy and should be cherished.

I finally understand now that she tried to offend Guo Yin and the others a few days ago to save me, completely out of deep affection.

"I hope I can get through this," I said emotionally, "and start over." Suddenly remembered that she had mentioned in her language that I had married a black woman, and was stunned, "Who is that black woman you just said?" ”

She grimaced and said coldly, "Don't mention her in front of me." ”

I quickly kept silent.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked at me with an electric gaze, "Out of this tunnel, you are someone else's man." But, here, you belong to me. "The voice is sonorous and loud.

"What do you want?" I was stunned.

She unexpectedly put her arms around my head and pressed her red lips to my mouth fiercely. Just as my heart was flying and my soul was flying, she suddenly opened her teeth and bit me the shoulder.

"Ahh I had a sharp pain in my shoulder. It felt like a piece of meat had been bitten off.

She let go of her arms and took a step back. Said stupidly: "Today is revenge." From now on, you and I don't owe each other! ”

I stretched out my palm and pressed my shoulder tightly, grinning, inhaling the cool air, I wanted to relieve the heart-rending pain, but because she bit too hard, the pain in my shoulder was not lighter but heavier, and it quickly shot into the whole body, and the pain was deep in my heart. I put my hand under my shirt. Touched by the fingertips, the tooth marks penetrated deep into the muscles and bones, slippery and sticky hands, as if there were blood beads oozing, and I couldn't help but feel on fire, just wanted to have a seizure, but I saw that her pink face was slightly red, and her cherry lips were slightly upturned, and she was still angry. looks naïve and cute, full of girlish atmosphere, and most of the anger in her heart has disappeared, and she remembers that her mouth is heavy. But it was all because of the depth of love, and in turn he felt a little guilty about her, adding a sense of closeness.

She frowned at me. Grinning silently, as if asking. He seemed to say defiantly: "What, this doesn't taste good, right?!" ”

I was speechless in pain.

"If you're not comfortable. Even if you count it, we have been in college for four years, you have been abroad for three years, and you have returned to China for three years, a total of ten years, how many days have I struggled to survive alone? ”

I said in a trembling voice, "My pain at this moment is nothing compared to your long night lonely. If you find it relieving," I threw my other shoulder forward, "take another bite." ”

She smiled and said, "It's really hard to change, and your skin is still so thick." I don't want to bite it, it's all bones, and it makes my mother's toothache when I bite it. ”

"What do you say? Mother? "The image of the soul doctor in my heart completely collapsed, and I was stunned.

Her eyes swept over my face, "Do you remember?" My mantra, old lady! Back in college, I—" she pointed to the tip of her nose with her index finger, "and I always called myself like that." ”

I pressed my head, like a computer crashing and restarting, hoping it would work, but it was still blank.

She looked at me blankly, shook her hand in the air, and said, "Forget it, I won't say it, don't bother, it's better for you to be a fool, so as not to think of that black woman again." ”

I was going to ask the black woman again, but I was silent at the thought of her bitter and vengeful appearance.

"Let's think about how to send you out first." I said, "Maybe you can go back the way you came." ”

"I'm not in a hurry. I haven't broken the law, what are I afraid of? Now just think about how you can get out of it yourself. ”

I think she has a point. "What time is it?" I pointed to her phone.

She rolled her hand and looked, "Half past one." We've been in the tunnels for almost an hour. ”

I thought that the police on the ground should have withdrawn, and then I looked up at the small bright spot dozens of meters away, and said, "I'll go up there first." You sit down there for a while. ”

"Can you do it?" She reached out her fingers and pinched my arm.

I swallowed two hamburgers, and was aroused by the bizarre love with countless male hormones, and my whole body was full of energy, "Don't worry, I can do it." ”

I climbed up with my hands and feet, and when I reached a height of about two or three stories, I looked down and saw the darkness under my feet, as if I was stepping on the void, and everything was gone, and I suddenly felt lightheaded, and a wave of dizziness hit my brain, and my waist weakened, and my feet slipped, and my whole body suddenly hung in the air, swinging around. The clods of mud at the top of the wall fell down.

Xuan Xuan's baby voice rose from the soles of her feet, "Zuo Yan - be careful!" "Full of concern.

I desperately hooked the U-shaped bar with my ten fingers, and when the ten fingers slipped off, I put one arm into the U-shaped bar next to my shoulder, hooked my elbow, hung my body, and then kicked my toes to find a foothold in the air, carefully stepped on it, and pressed my body against the damp and cold wall. When this breath eased slightly, I felt the pain of a torn armpit, probably because I had used too much force just now, which strained the muscle tissue. I didn't dare to look down again, but silently recited Amitabha Buddha slowly squirmed upward, climbed five or six steps, and felt that Amitabha's strength was not strong enough, and began to silently recite Shen's mother's name again, warning myself that I must be slow and slow, be careful, and must not let myself die here. Because Shen's mother is still waiting for me to go back to give her a pension. She's the closest person I've ever had in the world.

Whenever my life hangs by a thread, the first thing I think of must be Shen's mother. Even now that I know that Mother Shen is not my adoptive mother, my background is still confusing. Subconsciously, Shen's mother is still my spiritual pillar to insist on living. It's strange to say, whenever I feel that my life is fragile and helpless. As long as I think of Shen's mother, I will naturally burst out with indomitable courage. It enables me to face hardships and even the threat of death. Mother Shen is to me what a mother is to her son.

"Zuo Yan, you promise." Xuan Xuan's voice came up again.

My heart seemed to jump out of my chest, swept away by the cold earth, pounding, and falling out of place, so that my breathing was so urgent that I couldn't even say a word for a while. In the past, I saw Jackie Chan coming and going in the movie. It's easy to get tens of millions of dollars, intuitively fun and exciting, and now it seems that it's really exchanging life for money, not something that ordinary people like me can learn.

"Zuo Yan—are you still there?" Xuanxuan couldn't see me, and couldn't hear my echo, so she was very anxious.

I stopped, breathed in my chest, and muffled.

"If it doesn't work, you come down." She reminded loudly.

I adjusted my breathing. Trying to keep his heartbeat at a normal level, he meditated on Shen's mother and the familiar orphanage, and his heart calmed down a lot, and his hands and legs also regained some strength. I feel as if I have broken through the bottleneck of fear of heights, and I can't help but applaud myself. I climbed another step or twenty and looked up slightly. I found that the light point had become much larger and the color was uncertain. The brightness is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and then climb a few more steps. I faintly heard the sound of banging drums and the melody of music in my ears, and hit a thick iron plate with a bang, and I felt pain, only to find that I had come to the point of light, and touched the iron plate with my hand, and there were carvings on it, and it was indeed a manhole cover, and the point of light was the round hole in the center of the manhole cover.

I stepped steadily, hooked a U-shaped steel bar with my left elbow with my left hand, supported the edge of the manhole cover with my right hand, and slowly lifted it up, so that a 10-centimeter gap between the manhole cover and the ground opened. It was a hot summer, and the temperature on the ground reached more than 30 degrees, but the underground was only a dozen degrees, and the temperature difference was huge. A wave of heat rushed into the cold shaft.

In order not to expose myself, I didn't dare to lift the manhole cover too high, so the gap between the manhole cover and the ground was very small, but there was still a 180-degree line of sight, and I looked from the leftmost viewing area to the right by the street lamp, followed by Bank of China, Huaxia Securities, KFC, Nike store, a bronze sculpture, Hengdali clocks, a row of benches, and then an alley paved with square bricks, and a sign hanging on the iron pole at the entrance of the alley, with the words Jianghan Road written on it, and the last thing you can see is the cash cabinet that sings karaoke. I noticed that there were few pedestrians on the street, there were seven or eight flat-headed men lingering at the entrance of Jianghan Road, and on the bench in front of the Hengdali Watch Store, three men with flat heads were also smoking, and while looking around casually, one person was leaning sideways on the back of the bench, and a lump on his back and waist was obviously bulging, and at a glance he knew that it was a plainclothes policeman with a gun.

This is the area I saw, and I believe there must be a large number of police officers hidden in those dark corners that I have not seen. When Guo Zhenchao and Yin Wenbin saw me disappear from the storage room on the 28th floor, they must have guessed that I would not go far and would deploy police forces near the building. If you go out from here, you will definitely be caught by the police. I gently put the manhole cover back in place so that it didn't make the slightest noise. Then he began to use his feet to test the U-shaped ladder below to descend.

As I got closer and closer to the tunnel, my hanging heart slowly took root. Xuan Xuan saw me and happily called out my name. As soon as I stepped on the ground, she came up and hugged my arm tightly. I felt her body trembling, and when I looked down to see that she was pale and almost colorless, I quickly asked her if she was frostbite. It's cold and damp in the tunnel.

She said no, she was just worried that I would fall down, and she was afraid that there would be some monster in the dark tunnel.

I told her about the manhole cover. She thought about it for a while and said that it was a pedestrian street, less than 100 meters away from the Riverview Building, and she couldn't go out from there.

I asked him to go back the way he came, but she refused and insisted on going with me to find another way.

So, we walked down the tunnel together for nearly half an hour, and another iron gate appeared on my right.

I stretched out my hand and tugged, but the iron door froze.

Xuan Xuan also put her hand on the doorknob and tried it, and felt that the door was as heavy as Mount Tai.

The two of us were so tired that we sat down against the wall and rested in the tunnel. The ground was cold and damp. We were all wearing single clothes, and the more we sit, the colder it became. I saw Xuanxuan hugging her knees and looking numb. Constantly shivering, he pulled her into his arms. Arms outstretched. Her hands were wrapped tightly around my waist. The body temperature of the two is combined, and there is a little more warmth on the body. We hugged each other speechlessly, and it wasn't long before we squinted in a trance. When I woke up, I don't know how many hours had passed. She turned on her phone and saw that it was half past eight in the morning. I don't think I slept for five or six hours.

I felt dry mouth, sore limbs, and seemed to have a cold. Exhausted.

Thinking that I had to get her to the ground as soon as possible, I pulled her up and stumbled deeper into the dark tunnels in search of an exit. After walking for a minute or two, a rusty iron door appeared on the right, and I reached out with a hint of luck, and the iron door creaked open.

The two of us steadied ourselves and saw that there was a circular tunnel about ten meters high on the other side of the iron gate, and rows of red light bulbs lit on the curved walls on both sides. There is a railroad track at the bottom of the tunnel. On both sides of the tracks is a cement road only 30 centimeters wide. I lifted my feet over the threshold and stood on the cramped concrete pavement, looking at the railroad tracks reaching deep into the tunnel.

"It's the subway." Xuan Xuan walked out after me.

I turned around and pulled the door back into place, and saw two rows of red letters written on it: 100 meters from the nearest exit. Printed with a large red arrow.

Woo –

A metallic cry came from out of sight. Remembering that the terrifying voice just now turned out to be from the subway train, Xuan Xuan and I looked at each other and smiled.

Goo –

The sound of train wheels rolling over the tracks is getting closer.

If the passengers on the train saw me, so close at a distance. I'll definitely recognize me as a suspect that the police are pursuing, so I can't expose myself to the passengers. I hurriedly took Xuanxuan's hand. Return to the other side of the iron gate.

I secretly pondered the words on the iron gate: 100 meters away from the nearest safety exit, and asked Xuanxuan if she knew that this exit was leading to the ground. Or a parallel fire escape.

Xuan Xuan also couldn't figure it out for a while, but told me that she didn't need to look at the safety exit signs, as long as she found the nearest subway station, she could reach the ground.

I thought to myself that there must also be plainclothes police officers in the subway station. It's not convenient for me to get out of there, but I can send Xuanxuan to the ground, so that she doesn't risk her life with me. However, when she went out of the subway station, she could not be found by others. Because the subway company strictly prohibits citizens from trespassing in the tunnel. If someone breaks in, it will be a big accident, and the police will get the information and find out my whereabouts. Therefore, Xuan Xuan's whereabouts cannot be exposed in the subway.

I opened the iron door a crack and mentally recorded the arrival of the second train, and found that the gap between the two cars was only two minutes and thirty-one seconds. I thought that if I ran from that narrow road to the subway station and was not noticed by the passengers on the train, I had to run to the subway platform in two minutes and thirty-one.

"What is the distance between the two subway stations on Jianghan Road?" I asked Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan thought for a while and said, "The two stations connected to Jianghan Road are Jiyu Bridge and Xunli Gate, Jiyu Bridge is on the opposite side of the river, and the distance between Xunli Gate and Jianghan Road is the closest, about 300 meters. ”

"How long are you in the 100-meter sprint?" I asked.

Xuan Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said, "Twelve seconds and eighty-eight, I am the fastest girl in the school in college." Do you remember? ”

"That means you can run at least 400 meters a minute." I smiled and said, "You're not training like you did at school, so the 300 meters should be fine." ”

"We don't have to run that long distance." Xuan Xuan crossed ten fingers and pushed out, just like a warm-up exercise, "Didn't you see the Bank of China just now?" It is also 100 meters from Bank of China to Xunlimen subway station. ”

"There are two directions out of this gate, one left and one right, which direction should I run, but I can't run to the Jianghan Road subway station. There are definitely the most police there. ”

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, "To the left, because the arrow on the exit points to the left." ”

"Why the left?" I asked.

"Because the safety exit cannot be set at the bottom of the river, then no one can get out of the tunnel once it is in distress."

"Yes, that's right!" I couldn't help but praise her intelligence in my heart.

We agreed to pull the door open and run to the left after the last train had passed.

I pulled the door open again, waited for a train to whizz past, and immediately jumped with her onto the path in the tunnel, and ran deeper into the tunnel on the left. As I ran, I kept an eye out for the safety signs on the curved wall. It was found that every ten meters there was a line of bold red letters indicating the actual distance of the safety exit.

Xuan Xuan was in front, I was behind, we pushed forward smoothly, and the distance from the safety exit became smaller and smaller, 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters...... Suddenly, Xuan Xuan let out an exclamation and disappeared from my sight. (To be continued......)
