Chapter Seventy-Eight: Forming a Group for Prison Breaking
Changfeng smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Changfeng, and this is my brother Lin Mutian. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWe weren't caught, we broke in by accident. As far as I know, there are two passages to get out, but it's easier for us to come here. It's just that there are some difficulties on the way, which is a later story. Now, if we all want to go out, then we have to rise up and resist. In this way, there will be some surprises, and I don't know if you are willing to take such a risk. ”
The three of them listened to Changfeng's words and looked at each other in silence. For a moment, one of the middle-aged men asked, "Are you really on the ground? Who are the current president and prime minister?"
Hearing him ask such a question, I couldn't help but laugh: "How many years have you been caught?"
He said, "It's been ten years." ”
Changfeng couldn't help but smile: "This big brother, it's been ten years, and history has changed significantly. I just said it, you can't judge whether what I said is right or not, can you change the question. ”
The man was a little embarrassed by our laughter, and another middle-aged man relieved him: "Li Tao, I feel that they should be good people, we are already coolies, what else can we do." ”
Li Tao nodded: "Yang Dong, I'm outdated." I have been working here for ten years, and I miss my family all the time, and I look forward to going out one day earlier. But I'm afraid that bad people will try to tempt us and torture us. ”
The old man said, "Don't be afraid, I see sincerity in their eyes. From my old man's experience, I believe them as much as you believe me. ”
We are quite pleased to be affirmed by the elderly. If there is a reasonable person as the leader, the next step will be much easier.
The two middle-aged men nodded as expected, their eyes no longer so sharp and suspicious.
The old man turned to us again and said, "My name is Shen Guangyi, and I have been arrested for eighteen years. I'm the oldest of the people alive here. I've been here for a long time. Most of the people before me died, but I was lucky to survive because I always had a dream of seeing the light of day one day.
For 18 years, I have been thinking about my family every day, and when people tell me about the outside world, I hear that there has been a great change outside, and I really want to be able to go out alive to see it, even if it is only for a day! Now that you are here, you give us hope. Young man, since you said you were going to get us out, I wanted to hear what your plans were. ”
Changfeng said: "I don't know if you are familiar with this place, this is actually a city, more than 2,000 meters above the ground. There are two entrances, one is supposed to be yours and one is us, are you sitting on a flying thing?"
Yang Dong took it and said, "Yes, we all came from there, and there are up to four people in that strange thing that can fly." ”
Changfeng asked again, "How many of you are there?"
Li Tao said: "We have 180 people who take stones, more than 130 people who dig stones, and more than 100 people who smelt stones and carry them, totaling more than 400 people.
Changfeng said: "That entrance is the entrance through which all the people who have been caught in pass through, and when we go out, it is impossible to go there, even if we can control that flying machine, we can only transport three or four people at a time, it is impossible for so many of us to go there." When we came, it was another passage, not to mention more than 400 people, even if more people walked together, it was perfectly fine. It's just a longer time, it takes more than ten hours just to walk, and when we come downhill, we go uphill when we go back, so it will take longer. And the temperature is extremely high, it is difficult for ordinary people to bear, if you want to go there, you must bring some water and food, do you usually have enough of these things?"
Li Tao said indignantly: "Sufficient? just starve to death!"
Changfeng frowned: "This is not very easy to do, it seems that you have to tighten up early, save some dry food out, and at least eat two full meals in the passage to maintain the most basic activities." The water is good to say, there will be a small river on the way, although the groundwater is relatively hard, but there is no pollution, as long as you drink enough water when you go, you can bring less, and you can maintain walking to the river. If there are fewer people, it will be easy to do, I will get two bags of dry food, and we can go now. ”
When a few of them heard that they could really go out, everyone's eyes lit up. Shen Guangyi said: "Okay, don't worry, we will arrange this matter." This is the quarry, and the smelter is at the entrance of the cave in front, so I'll talk to the people over there when I get the chance to make sure I don't miss anything. ”
Changfeng was still a little worried: "Old man, that's more than 400 people, can you guarantee to communicate with everyone? Will there be any people who want to make meritorious contributions to report? Also, these more than 400 people are not a small number, once they are exposed on the way, they will resist, and casualties will be inevitable in the fight, and you must also make this clear to everyone." ”
Shen Guangyi choked up a little and said: "Young man, who here is willing to lose his freedom to work as a coolie? Who is not uprooted from his hometown and away from his relatives! Don't worry, this is a matter that will be echoed by all calls, and I am sure that no one will make a public announcement." But I have a concern, can we not kill those guards when we leave, and find some way to make them just unconscious, usually they are good to us, rarely beat and scold, we have no grudge against them, we should not take their lives because we escaped. ”
I said in my heart, you people have all escaped, even if they are only unconscious, after waking up, can the cruel city lord spare them?
Changfeng said: "Don't worry, we won't kill innocent people indiscriminately." The days of going out will not be too long, ten and a half days at most. But you must be careful not to be detected when you save up dry food. Otherwise, we won't be able to help you at that time. ”
Shen Guangyi patted his chest and promised that they would be careful.
Changfeng nodded: "The matter is decided for the time being, and we will inform you if there are any changes." After saying that, he hugged his fists and said goodbye.
The three of them hurriedly hugged their fists in return, and I also hugged my fists, and walked back with Changfeng, all the way safe.
I didn't expect the quarry people to be easily convinced, and I thought it would take a lot of words. Looking at their appearance, they are also oppressed too painfully, which is why they are so eager to go out.
After breakfast the next day, there was still no movement, and it was not what I thought, what the city lord would do to us. I asked Changfeng, "Are we going to wait?"
Changfeng said: "What if you don't wait? Can you guarantee that those coolies will go to the ground without eating for two days? Can you prepare enough dry food for more than 400 people for two days? That's not a few people, not dozens of people, if you don't prepare enough, it is inevitable that something unexpected will happen, and you can't help them but harm them." And we also have to look at what the right time is, so we're going to have to wait a few more days. ”
I sighed: "I didn't bend my stomach, I still have to eat sickle heads, if my mother often reprimands me, can I give it to you now?"
Changfeng said disapprerovantly: "That's because you are incapable, so my mother trained you." It's not that I don't have that ability, I'm just doing my best to prepare. In other words, we are jailbreaking. Speaking of prison breaks, we still have to find time to communicate with the people who are locked up with us, and I really don't want them to be just experiments in the future. ”
I asked weakly, "Brother, do you know how many of these people are locked up?"
Changfeng didn't even think about it: "Two hundred and twenty-one people, not counting the two of us." ”
I glared at them angrily: "Xiao Changfeng, did you give you all the bodhisattva heart of the Living Buddha? Yesterday you said that they were at ease, so let them stay in peace! How much effort do you have to spend to persuade them, and once we let them know about our escape, the possibility of being accused is very great, then we will have lost all our efforts." ”
Changfeng said calmly: "Of course I know that they are different from those coolies, but they don't know how sad their fate is. We know, I can't just know their results without trying to let them know. ”
I was a little angry: "I can't just know that you are taking a risk and not stop you, I firmly disagree!"
Changfeng patted me and said calmly: "Anger is relieved, anger is anger, anger hurts the liver, you are also a person who studies medicine, and you have received the power of the Living Buddha, how can you not feel that you have changed at all." Well, you go with me, and if you can't be persuaded, I won't say anything further to them. If you want to go home, let's tell him the next step, so it's all right. ”
I was also helpless, thinking of the people I saw in the laboratory being brutally tortured, and I felt a little unbearable. Well, since Changfeng can also think of the consequences, I think he will handle it. So he nodded, which was kind of acquiescence.
Seeing that it was still early for dinner, just as we wanted to talk to a few people living in the prison as planned, there was a sudden noise outside the door, Changfeng gave me a look, I pretended to be bored and lay back on the bed, Changfeng also reclined on the head of the bed.
Soon, the door was pushed open. I looked lazily at the door, and a retinue-like figure came in with a chair, and after putting it down, he respectfully made a gesture of invitation to the back. Behind him flashed a man in his forties wearing a dark blue official robe and a short-winged official hat. Medium build, white face, short beard, smiling, very kind. He waved his hand at his attendant, who lowered his hand and closed the door. The shelf is not small, it looks bigger than the official in Tsing Yi at the door.
When he saw that the door was closed, he spoke: "The two divine doctors, surnamed Zheng, are the prisoners here. Yesterday, the old mother was infected with the plague, and her life was on the verge of death, thanks to the divine water of the two divine doctors, the life of the old mother and the whole family of five people were saved. I heard that the two miracle doctors are here, and I came to thank you!"
