Chapter 24: Jumping to conclusions
The news from several villagers made everyone who was about to disperse stop, and the woman who had just let go of Di Ledo also grabbed his arm again, this time, she pinched Di Ledo. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Did you let him go? Don't you want to save my daughter at all?!"
"What are you doing, haven't I been here all the time?!"
The hysterical woman made Diredo frown. Say he let Hawke go? What are you kidding! How can he have that spare time?
But wait a minute, could this have been planned by Wall?
Diredo looked at Wall in disbelief. He didn't see any sign in Wall's face, but wasn't this companion stressing from the beginning to take more time?
On the other side, Ola had just come back from his trance. Just now, there was a hallucination in front of her eyes, she vaguely saw Akachi lying on his back on the bed with a bandage on his head, and she also saw Egger standing on the edge of the bed with an unhappy face...... The hallucinations only lasted for a few seconds, but the realistic presence sent Ora into a trance until someone shouted that Hawke had been let go, and she woke up.
Aura turned to see that Dildedo, who was about to walk towards him, was tripped by his mother, who had lost her daughter, and then the villagers who had hurried past him to the elder's side. I only heard one of the villagers shouting with an indignant face: "Someone dug a tunnel and went to prison, and that little ghost is now gone!"
"Where does the other side of the tunnel lead?" the elder asked, frowning.
"Well, I don't know, no one has gone in and seen it yet. ”
"That kid was still in prison before the competition began?" the elder asked.
"It's true, I had looked through the window of my cell. ”
"He looked a little lost at the time......"
The elder waved his hand and motioned to the villagers who had come to report the situation to no longer describe the details, and the old man looked up at the crowd that was starting to get agitated, and then waved and shouted, "Implens!"
Implens, who was about to confront Diredo and Wall, was summoned when the elder shoved the cane in his hand, and then took Ola's hand and led the way. As he passed by Dileido, the old man gently patted the woman who was on the verge of collapse.
"Don't jump to conclusions, kid. No one is going to give up on your girl, so let's go over and see what happened. ”
With the Elder's words, Diledo was finally free, and he touched his arm, thinking that there must have been a bruise left there. But what is this pain compared to some murderous gazes? The villagers who had just lost their relatives and friends, though not as unreasonable as the mother before them, could feel the resentment in the hearts of these people, and the reason why they did not attack themselves was simply because they could not make up their minds and lacked a person to take the lead......
Led by the Elders, the group returned to the building where Hawke had been held. As soon as he entered the cell, Ora saw a hole in the ground near the base of the wall that could be drilled through by one person, and it was obvious that Hawke must have quietly escaped from this hole while everyone was paying attention to the competition. The question is, did he dig this hole alone? Or was someone secretly helping him escape? Aura subconsciously glanced at Dildedo, remembering that when they were in D'Estaing, they had a tacit understanding to pretend to be asleep and let Hawk go, but this time it probably had nothing to do with Dildedo.
Just as everyone looked at the cave that led to nowhere, Derek, who had a hooked nose, unexpectedly popped out a sentence.
"I'll go in and see where this hole leads. ”
With that, he leaned down into the hole that had been dug diagonally downward, without waiting for anyone to say anything. Derek, who looked very aggrieved when he ran two more steps before, was surprisingly quick this time. The elder shouted "Be careful", and his figure disappeared into the shadows of the cave. Everyone waited anxiously for the entrance of the cave for a while, but Derek's voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
"The hole on the other side was under a tree in front of it, blocked by grass. I just don't know if this kid is still in the village. ”
"Under the trees?"
This answer caused a renewed uproar around them, and some of the people who had not believed that Hawke was capable of escaping on his own merits led them to believe that someone had deliberately let go of the boy who had been held in the village. After all, the arrow wound on Hawke's body was not yet healed, and the only thing he could use at hand was probably a wooden spoon for eating. It was simply impossible to dig a tunnel out of his cell and go straight under a tree more than ten meters away, unless he worked day and night like a livestock, but if he did, he would be exposed to the guards' eyes.
Now there's only one question left, who is going to let Hawk go? Isn't there a guy from the outside who is very much against taking Hawk out of his anger?
Diredo could feel the gaze of the crowd looking at him darker and deeper, and it would be nice if it meant "we all love you." He smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart.
"Dildedo, is it you?" Inprence's questioning voice unsurprisingly sounded first. The others began to chimed in, but Wall on the side was silent. Then, Ola suddenly stood in front of Dildedo, and she was like a shield to cut off the crowd's view from Dilledo.
It was impossible for Ola to argue with anything, but the meaning was very clear, and there was more than one person from outside.
Looking at Ola, who looked serious and serious, Implens, who had been defeated at the hands of this girl a moment ago, suddenly didn't know what to say. Without this reckless young man taking the lead in stirring up trouble, the rest of the voices would not be as harsh as before, but things can't just go on like this!
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The person you are looking for is here." ”
The villagers looked at the man who made the sound, and then they were surprised to find that Hawke, who should have avoided the crowd and escaped from the village, had appeared with a big grin.
At this time, the boy was wrapped in a slightly oversized ragged suit, which some people recognized as Hawke's previous spectators. However, at that time, he still wore a hat on his head, and everyone could never have imagined that a prisoner who should have been locked up would witness that unexpected duel with everyone.
Interestingly, this kid is surprisingly interesting.
In the face of everyone's inquiring eyes, Hawke's eyes were full of disdain, and he pouted: "Let my guy go, it has nothing to do with the idiot you are planning to attack." ”
Diredo frowned. It's really touching that someone is willing to stand up and help themselves, but being called an idiot is another matter. Good guy, this kid Hawke won't be picking up the opportunity to take revenge for calling Ola a dumb just now, right?
