Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Loose Slate
After Fan Xiaoqi walked out of the small restaurant, he continued to walk through the streets of the city, looking for the hiding place in his heart. Whenever a group of patrol soldiers appeared in front of him, he always stopped alertly, or turned around, or temporarily avoided the nearby street corner. All in all, he was looking for a lot of obscenity and care, but unfortunately after a few hours, he still found nothing.
As night approached, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, but the number of officers and soldiers showed no signs of abating. Fan Xiaoqi knew in his heart that if this development continued, he would definitely be the focus of the officers and soldiers in the near future. It can be said that the form is imminent!
But what can I do? I have done my best. Perhaps, this is what people often call fate......
As time passed, Fan Xiaoqi felt more and more the coldness of the cyclical environment. At this time, another cool wind blew towards him along the street, and he quickly hugged his body with both hands.
Although Fan Xiaoqi doesn't know the specific year and month now, he also speculated that it should be autumn from his feelings about the surrounding environment and temperature in recent days.
After hugging his body with both hands and feeling a little warmer, he subconsciously took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the time. The time is '113 a.m.'"
Just as he stopped on the street for a moment, three more patrol soldiers in light armor and large knives at the intersection in front of him walked towards him.
What to do?......
Although Fan Xiaoqi knew that he was now powerless to get out of danger and could not survive the first day of the new year, he still had to do his best to save his life. Because, after all, no one wants to die!
Therefore, at this moment, he activated the maximum potential ability he could muster, using his sensitive brain and sharp eyes to think about the escape route at high speed, and to find a place to temporarily hide.
After a while, he finally found a place that was not a hiding place, a hiding place.
It was a stinking garbage dump that had appeared in his eyes n times. It may be that the survival ** inspired his greatest endurance, and he actually wanted to ignore the stinking smell of the garbage, and the disgusting maggots and fleas inside, and wanted to go into the garbage dump to avoid the questioning of the officers and soldiers.
At this time, Fan Xiaoqi closed his eyes, pursed his mouth and nose, silently cut his iron heart, and then walked briskly towards the garbage dump. Then he carefully leaned down and scooped out the garbage piece by piece from the garbage dump. But it wasn't long before he saw what he was most afraid to see.
Oh my God...... What a disgusting piece of maggots!
When Fan Xiaoqi saw this, he almost threw up on the spot. But at this time, in his heart, a strong desire to survive overcame the disgust brought to him by the stinky maggots and garbage. So, once again, he mustered up his courage and courage, and grabbed the disgusting maggot and threw it on the ground beside him. Then continue to dig out the disgusting garbage piece by piece.
Finally, he dug a large hole in the garbage heap that was large enough to bury his body.
Then, with the perseverance and courage of an indefatigable iron, he lay down in the garbage heap, and quickly covered his body with the garbage next to him.
By the time he had done all this, several of the patrolling soldiers had approached to a distance of only twenty meters from him. Fan Xiaoqi lay quietly in the garbage dump, listening to the footsteps of several soldiers. After a short time, the footsteps of several soldiers went from far to near, and from near to far, and finally disappeared into the distance.
Fan Xiaoqi can now finally get up and leave the garbage heap. However, he did not want to leave immediately, for he felt that there seemed to be a loose underneath him in the middle of lying in the garbage heap. It's not the looseness of the loose garbage that is loosely piled up, but the looseness of the ground. He vaguely felt that the ground beneath him seemed to be different from the normal ground. Beneath the soft earth, there appear to be two loose stone slabs buried.
If it were an ordinary moment, Fan Xiaoqi would never have too many thoughts about this inconspicuous phenomenon, at most he would just stop and look at it curiously for a while. And now...... The small loosening under the ground was like a light shining into hell for him, which made his heart suddenly open up and his spirit was uplifted.
If there is a loose slate, there is a good chance that there is an abandoned sewer buried underneath, or a cellar. Of course, there is also the possibility that it is nothing, just two rotten boards. But, that's my only hope......
Thinking of this, he quickly stood up straight and looked around, and found that there was no one on the empty street next to him. So, he leaned down with confidence and boldly dug in the garbage heap. Soon he was digging into the ground. The earth on the ground was wet, black, disgusting, and soft. Fan Xiaoqi resisted the urge to vomit several times in his heart, and dug desperately with ten powerful fingers.
Patches of maggots, several earthworms, and some disgusting, filthy worms that he could not name, were dug out by his trembling hands. After about five minutes, his dark, slimy fingers had touched the slab that he knew was buried in the ground. After another ten minutes, most of the surfaces of two rudimentary stone slabs, both about a meter long and half a meter wide, without decoration, were already visible in front of him.
The two slabs, which had been baptized by the ages, had begun to appear on the surface and around them, and a great deal of corrosion and detachment had begun to appear to be full of pits, missing corners and edges, and extremely old.
At the intersection of the two stone slabs, a wide loose crack appeared, and the middle was stuffed with earth. Fan Xiaoqi decided to dig up the dirt stuffed in the middle of the crevice, and then try to see if he could turn over one of the two stone slabs.
He quickly followed his own ideas, picked up a pair of small sticks on the ground and dug up. Five minutes later...... The dirt in the crevices, as well as the dirt and rubble around one of the stone slabs, had been almost cleared.
So, with an expectant heart, Fan Xiaoqi was ready to open the slate to take a look. But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in his ears. Fan Xiaoqi looked up alertly and glanced in the direction of the source of the sound. He found ..................
