In the hall, Di Jinyan sat majestically and solemnly on the master's chair in the center of the hall, listening to the report of the cold-faced tiger with a smile from time to time.

In the hall, Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng were like two fried lobsters, exaggeratedly curling their bodies, their faces full of shame and their wings turned red for a while. The two pairs of smiling eyes in the past have lost the scorching brilliance of yesterday.

may be because they tried to escape for the second time and were caught by others, and at this time, the grandfather and grandson no longer have much joy. Especially the old man Dong of the old rivers and lakes, he looked even more embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do there.

The thieves gathered around the hall seemed to have fallen into a well, lest the eldest lady let go of Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng again, and used herself again. With a pair of unpredictable eyes, Xuan looked at Di Jinyan who was sitting in the center of the hall, waiting for the final verdict on these two people.

For a while, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became rich and warm. In addition to the sound of everyone's rapid and undulating breathing, it was so quiet that even an embroidery needle fell to the ground, and the sound of landing could be heard.

Di Jinyan, as the most high-ranking commander at this time, she didn't know whether her mood at this time was happy or indescribable. In her heart, she hopes to keep Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng, but she also hopes that Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng can win in everyone's gambling game. Don't be embarrassed that you have lost the authority of being the master of the house in front of the bandits, these two outsiders in front of you can only get out of trouble through their own authority, and cannot change this embarrassing situation through their own efforts.

But the facts before her made her very disappointed and worried, and she was momentarily puzzled by her dilemma.

As soon as she thought of this, Di Jinyan's whole person became nervous unfreely. She looked around at the expressions on the faces of the thieves above the lobby and the anger in her eyes, and at the same time she wondered about the results of her forcible release of Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng.

Because in this gambling game, she won two games in a row, Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng. However, the most important thing is that there is only one day left on the date they agreed. The five-day period is fleeting, so it seems that Li Qiusheng and Old Man Dong have little chance of escaping, and what reason will he have to persuade his subordinates to follow him at that time?

Di Jinyan fell into deep contemplation for a while, but she couldn't put this kind of worry and worry on her face. After all, she is the leader of this group of bandits, even if she has affection for some people, she can't show it in front of everyone. If Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng can't escape successfully, then she can only escort these two back to the cottage in Anle Village according to the rules. How to deal with it can only wait for her father to make a decision, and she does not know the final result.

However, Di Jinyan still said energetically. "Ha, ha, Old Man Dong, Li Qiusheng, you lost again this time. In my opinion, don't even think of leaving our deserted courtyard. Aren't you living well with us? How can there be a lot of danger on the rivers and lakes, and people's hearts are not selling. Otherwise, you can simply join our Anle Village, so as not to wander around outside and be edited by the government. ”

As soon as Di Jinyan said this, Li Qiusheng was like a reckless rhinoceros, and immediately collided with him.

He showed a deflated ugly face and shouted, "Thief mother-in-law, put away your tricks, when will I, Li Qiusheng, be afraid of the outside world of life and death, and when will I ask you to initiate the bodhisattva's heart to pity me." You ask Mr. Dong about this. If he agrees that he will stay with you, anyway, I, Li Qiusheng, will go to the capital to find Dong Yanzhi whether I live or die, and I can't let her suffer there anymore. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qiusheng looked at Di Jinyan sitting high in the hall with a blank face, and a look of unyielding resignation was spewing out thickly, especially affectionate and selfless on his face.

The thieves were in an inexplicable rage and commotion, and their faces were full of anger, staring at the unscrupulous boy in front of them. I've long wanted to cut it with a thousand knives, this master who makes them suffer a lot and is not pleased.

It's right to think about it, if it weren't for Di Jinyan's dedication to protecting this lawless boy, I'm afraid that he and Old Man Dong would have been turned into fish and meat by this gang of thieves, and it would be the turn of this kid to play the uncle in the hall and provoke himself.

Di Jinyan looked around at the hall again, and the situation in front of her did not allow her to be optimistic. She had to let out a sigh of anger and shouted. "Li Qiusheng, Old Man Dong, you two are so bold that you dare to set fire to our temporary station, do you really think that Di Jinyan will not dare to touch you? Come on, lock them both in the back of the firewood room, take care of them, and don't let them run away again. ”

Li Qiusheng didn't wait for Di Jinyan's words to land, and then jumped up and scolded angrily, "The thief is the thief woman, there is no trust, and you didn't set us on fire to the courtyard in our previous gamble." You only said that no matter what method is taken within the specified date, as long as we can escape, we will win. May I ask the thief mother-in-law, are we two at fault? ”

Di Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and was immediately stunned.

I thought that I had suffered this time, and let this kid take advantage of the loophole to grab our sore feet and defend ourselves speechlessly. Yes, there is no rule in the gambling game that the two of them can't use fire, water, knives, swords and other things to get out of trouble. There is no rule that we are not allowed to use fishing nets to catch them, don't we still use fishing nets? What's wrong with people attacking with fire now?

Di Jinyan immediately changed his words with a strong man's momentum, "Of course, you're not wrong." The fault is that you are the ones I brought back from the hands of the government, and I have the final say on the rules, and I will get you by step. ”

"Heh, heh, what kind of gamble is there, wouldn't it save you just cutting off the heads of our grandfathers? It also costs so much tongue and energy with the master. Li Qiusheng suddenly stood there and sneered, as if he didn't take the danger in front of him to his heart.

Ha, ha, the thieves laughed again, and their eyes did not decrease by half a point.

Di Jinyan stood up from her seat and went straight to Li Qiusheng's side before turning around before saying slowly. "Don't worry, boy. Anyway, you two only have a day and a half left, and you can't escape there. You like to burn down the courtyard with fire, so you want. Shut your grandfather and grandfather in the firewood room now, let your grandfather and grandfather burn it with fire again, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and let your grandfather pay for the taste of roast pig and duck. ”

Old Man Dong was shocked when he heard this, and his squeaky words were blocked on the spot. Li Qiusheng wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, Di Jinyan robbed him of the white way.

"Boy, I can't help you now. When people came, they all locked them up in the firewood room. ”

The thieves immediately jumped out of the four of them, and with a loud 'bang', they took the old man Dong and Li Qiusheng with steel knives in their hands and walked to the firewood room in the backyard.

In the dark, damp and musty firewood room, Old Man Dong and Li Qiusheng struggled and trembled for a while, and immediately began to move.

Li Qiusheng wiped his eyes, but it was still dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything existing.

Old Man Dong said beside him, "Boy, don't worry, you can be quiet first." From light to darkness, the eyes need to get used to it, and it will take a while. ”

"Well, old man, how are you feeling? It's like you're not very talkative today. Li Qiu asked jerkily, as if he was also looking haggard after the snow had wilted the eggplant.

"I don't have anything, I just feel that I am a big bag, I am controlled by others everywhere, and I have lost the opportunity. If this continues, how can we escape this broken courtyard. Old Man Dong also said sadly, as if there were thousands of ants biting in his heart.

Li Qiusheng suddenly smiled and said, "Old man, why are you so hurt, don't you admit defeat." Don't worry, as long as there is still a moment left, we still have a chance to escape. After most of the night, I had to get a good night's sleep. Don't worry about it, we are auspicious people's own celestial statues, and it is natural to turn evil into auspiciousness. ”

Old Man Dong responded lightly for a while, "Boy, everything is as you wish!" The old man is tired, and it's time to take a break. With that, he lay down on the grass and grass.

In the drowsiness, Old Man Dong seemed to be woken up eagerly by Li Qiusheng and urged in an urgent tone. "Look, old man, what is that? It's really the way to the sky. ”

Old Man Dong looked in the direction of Li Qiusheng's finger, and by the sparse sunlight leaking from the broken tiles on the wall of the house, he saw that a large black hole had been exposed under the floor of the firewood house, and there seemed to be stone steps in front of the hole. Old Man Dong couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his daze, and hurriedly whispered. "Boy, why don't you hurry up and cover the hole with firewood and grass, are you still waiting for the Golden Woman to bring someone to seal the hole we found?"

Li Qiusheng heard what the old man said, immediately looked at the deep hole and then whispered. "Old man, don't be in such a hurry. We don't know where this hole leads. Can you help us get out of trouble? Otherwise, let's go down in the dark and see what the situation is, and then it's not too late to go back and seal it back. ”

"Well, boy, it's as good as you think at this time, let's be careful. If the movement gets bigger, then the Golden Woman will be wary again, and then we will really have no hope of escaping. I think it's better to wait until the evening when their people let their guard down, and then it will be much easier. Old Man Dong flashed his engraved eyes and said for a moment, and a bright hope was ignited in his heart.

Li Qiusheng replied calmly, "Yes, just do what the old man wants, then let's install this hole first to prevent it from being discovered by thieves, and then take a good rest, and then make a mess of him at night." ”

Then, carrying a bundle of firewood and grass, he hid himself over the original hole, and lay down and fell asleep.
