Section 40 She disappeared into the subway tunnel

"Ahh I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and it felt like a piece of flesh had been bitten off.

She let go of her arms, took a step back, and said smugly, "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 the shirt, my fingertips touched, the tooth marks penetrated deep into the muscles and bones, slippery and sticky hands, as if there were blood beads oozing out, I couldn't help but feel on fire in my heart, just wanted to have a seizure, I saw her pink face slightly red, cherry lips slightly upturned, still angry, look naΓ―ve, full of girlish atmosphere, the fire in my heart disappeared by half, and remembered that although her mouth was heavy, but it was all because of the depth of love, I turned to feel a little guilty about her, adding a sense of closeness.

Seeing that my brows were furrowed, she grinned silently, as if asking, and as if provocatively said, "What, this doesn't taste good, right?!" ”

I was speechless in pain.

"If you don't feel good, even if it's counted, 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 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, Iβ€”" 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 Mama Shen is not my adoptive mother, my life experience is still confusing, and subconsciously Mama Shen is still my spiritual pillar to insist on living. 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, so that I can calmly 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 going high and high in the movie, easily getting tens of millions and hundreds of millions, intuitively fun and exciting, but now it seems that it is really exchanging life for money, not something that ordinary people like me can learn.

"Zuo Yanβ€”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, tried to keep my heartbeat at a normal level, and meditated on Shen's mother and the familiar orphanage, my heart calmed down a lot, and my hands and legs also recovered some strength, I felt that I seemed to have broken through the bottleneck of fear of heights, and I couldn't help but cheer for myself. I climbed another step or twenty, looked up slightly, and found that the point of light had become a lot larger, the color was uncertain, the brightness was strong and weak, and then I climbed a few steps, and I faintly heard the sound of banging drums and the melody of music in my ears, and the top of my head hit a thick iron plate, and I felt pain, only to find that I had come to the point of light, touched the iron plate with my hand, and there were carved lines 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 pulled, and the iron door opened. On the other side of the gate is a circular tunnel about ten meters high, with rows of red light bulbs lit on the curved walls on both sides, and 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, with a big red arrow printed on it.

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, they would definitely recognize me as a suspect that the police were pursuing, so I couldn't expose myself to the passengers. I hurriedly took Xuan Xuan's hand and returned 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 if this exit led to the ground or to 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.
