Wangchai carried a chain with his handcuffed hands, and the other end of the chain was attached to the middle of the shackles, so that he could lift the chains off the ground, which had two advantages, one was to reduce the sound of the chain mopping the floor, and the other was to reduce the friction of the shackles against his ankles.

He didn't pay any attention to the urging of the guard next to him who had just beaten him, because he was trying to endure the pain caused by a steel needle more than ten centimeters long in the sole of his foot. He tried his best to walk with a normal gait, not wanting people to see that he was walking unnaturally. Every time the soles of his feet landed, there was a piercing pain, and he calculated the distance, how many steps there were to reach the cell, and silently counted down in his heart to cheer himself up.

Five, four, three, two, one, stop. "Whoa!" With a bang, the guard first opened the outermost layer of black iron door, then turned off the inner layer of electricity, and then he first ordered the people in the cell to stand facing the cave wall, and finally he opened an iron fence door inside a gap that only allowed one person to pass through, he pushed Wangchai inside, and then ordered him to turn his back and lean against the fence, he locked the fence door first, and then took out the key to open the handcuffs and shackles on Wangchai's body.

Wangchai waited for the guards to pull up the grid and lock the outermost black tin door, and after listening to his footsteps to judge that he was far away, he jumped to the distant Chase Shop with his good foot. Seeing this, the two companions hurriedly stepped forward to help him and put him on the Chase bunk and sat down. The bunk was extremely long, stretching from the entrance of the cave to the cave until the darkness swallowed it up and could not be seen. On the bunk in the visible area, dozens of ragged warrior slaves gathered in tattered clothes, and their number was currently ninety-three.

Wangchai lifted his legs up and laid them flat on the bunk, and put the balls of his feet forward towards the door, for only the outermost tin door was now shining a little red from the emergency light.

A tall middle-aged man came out of the darkness of the cave, and saw that this person had kind eyebrows, three long strands of hair under his chin, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a tattered robe, and a half-toothbrush hairpin on his head. He squatted down in front of the soles of Wangchai's feet, looked at Wangchai's feet, and gently pinched them with his hands to feel the hardness of the things in his feet. Wang subconsciously wanted to withdraw the ball of his foot in pain, but he immediately held back. The middle-aged man looked up at Wangchai with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" As soon as Wangchai wanted to say, "It's nothing," the middle-aged man suddenly pushed the steel needle out of his foot with a hard thumb. Wang almost screamed in pain, but fortunately someone behind him covered his mouth in time. He looked back and saw that it was Sim's black face. Simu showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile, "It was the Dao Leader who asked me to do this." ”

Wangchai tilted his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was carefully studying the steel needle at the red light outside the fence gate and asked, "Dao Chief, can you use it?" ”

I saw a smile on the face of the Taoist chief, and Wangchai heard him reply: "Wangchai, you have made a great contribution now, this is not an ordinary steel needle, this is an internal force deformation needle, with it, any lock can be opened." The Taoist put down the needle, walked over to Wangchai and sat down, and whispered, "Tell me about the situation outside, and we can revise our escape plan accordingly." ”

Lang Tianya was blocked at the door by Xindu and his party.

After the British left just now, Lang Tianya took a bath with cold water, even if it was cold water, it was much warmer than the snow outside. But he didn't dare to wash the child, for fear that she would catch a cold. His backpack was in the hands of the people outside, along with the contents inside. He and the child now have nothing but clothes. The only consolation for him is that neither he nor his children are hungry yet. He had just asked the English for food, just to know if the food in this place was sufficient.

Through the secret conversation with Wangchai just now, he found that this black mine was even darker than he imagined. Nearly 100 martial arts slaves are actually imprisoned here, and they are mining here, refining internal force alloys, and building internal force weapons day and night. Once this place is discovered by the martial arts guild or the official, it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed with heavy troops. So it is common sense to speculate that even if it is for the sake of secrecy, the people here will not let themselves and their children leave easily. It seems that he has moved from the to the urine nest, and the situation has not changed at all. He felt that this place should not stay for long.

He didn't have a chance just now, but now he has the opportunity to be alone with the child. He weighed the child's weight, which should have been a little lighter. The more you eat, the lighter it gets? This is not scientific! And this time the child is completely different from the last two times after waking up, this time she looks confused and scared. Since she woke up, she hadn't spoken since she subconsciously said "hungry" when she was in the tree. Lang Tianya noticed that she was just sitting there quietly, taking advantage of the faint red light in the room, staring intently at his figure, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Lang Tianya stepped forward to pick up the little girl, looked into her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, uncle will protect you." What is your name? ”

The little girl rested her head on the side of his neck, put her hands on his shoulders, and whispered, "Grasshopper." ”

"Grasshopper, do you remember where you lived? Parents' names? ”

The little girl did not answer, but shook her head in his arms. Lang Tianya sighed and stopped asking. He first wrapped the child and carried it on his back in a wolfskin bag, then removed a thin wire from the upper of his shoe, and began to study the lock on the door.

Just as he struggled to break the lock on the door for a long time, and was about to take advantage of the darkness in the base to sneak out with the child on his back, he was met by Xindu with the British and a group of guards coming to him.

"Qi Asheng, do you want to go up?" Xindu asked in fluent Cantonese. At this point, not only Lang Tianya was a little stunned, but even the British looked at the credibility in surprise.

"Hahaha!" Lang Tianya couldn't help but laugh out loud. Just now, he pretended to be a Cantonese for a long time, and he dared to speak Cantonese better than him. With a smile, he snapped out his left hand and snapped his eyes straight into faith. According to his original plan, as long as the opponent dodged or blocked, he would run sideways into the Briton next to him and rush to the cave wall of the tunnel on the other side, as long as he was allowed to run, he was confident that he would toss and move in this nearly three-meter-high hole and escape from under the nose of the opponent.

Xindu stretched out his right hand and grabbed Lang Tianya's two fingers stretched forward, and it was faster. Lang Tianya struggled for a moment, and felt that his fingers were as if they had been cast in an iron wall, and they did not move at all.

"Why don't you want to leave after I explain?" Xindu said as he dragged Lang Tianya's hand and walked into the room.

Lang Tianya followed into the house, and replied with a wry smile: "If you can, you should speak in Mandarin, in fact, I am not very good at Cantonese." ”

After the two parties entered the room and sat down, Xindu said in Mandarin: "We have a lot of Chinese people in Neverland, and Chinese is also one of the official languages of our Neverland. As the director of scientific research, I have several Chinese scientists under my command, even if I don't have the heart to study, just listening to them speak every day, my Chinese can be good, not to mention that I have studied for a while. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's get down to business, let me guess, I guess Mr. Qi chose that underground river as his escape route, didn't he? ”

"Not necessarily. I'm going to check if there's a place to ventilate underwater and if there's an exit. Personally, I'm fine, but I can't with kids. ”

"The underground river doesn't work. Let's go the other way! Take the northernmost vent, you can go straight to the north side of the mountain, that is, it is a little longer, you have to climb more than 500 meters, and there is a bend in the middle. ”

Lang Tianya looked at Xindu's deep eyes, analyzing what kind of medicine was sold in this Indian man's gourd.

"Let me be the bait and then turn the tiger away from the mountain?" He asked tentatively.

The Indian suddenly showed a trace of sadness in his eyes, put his elbows on the table, his hands clenched into fists, he blinked, looked at Lang Tianya sincerely and said, "I don't deny this. Just now the monster sent a messenger to negotiate with me, and he said that as long as I hand over this child......" As he spoke, he pointed to the little girl on Lang Tianya's back, and the little girl couldn't help but shrink back when he pointed at him, and he continued: "The monster will leave our place and no longer chase after the people who eat us." ”

Xindu looked at Lang Tianya with a look of fascination when he heard it, and wondered why he was not surprised, so he asked, "Don't you think it's strange about the monster sending an envoy?" ”

"Not surprising. I've seen it out there. It's smart and shouldn't be worse than people. What is strange to me is your attitude. Looks like you don't want to do what the monster asks you to do! ”

"I still believe in people more than monsters and people." Xindu said, pausing, and then added: "Of course I believe in myself more than others than myself. ”

"That's why you advised me not to go down the dark river, but to drill the wind tunnel."

"Not bad! I can tell you all about my plans in exchange for your cooperation. At the same time, it is also good for you to judge the situation and take the next step after you get out of the vent. ”

"Well, I'll hear you."
