Chapter 85: The Pursuit
The middle-aged man sneered when he heard this, and shook his head:
"What other shops are there around here? I bought them all from the towns and villages at the bottom of the mountain, and the peanuts and sweet potatoes grown in the field were dug up and sold for some money. β
"How long does it take to get down from here?" Bai Huatong exclaimed, "It will take at least half a day to go down, right?" β
"Walking with your feet, you can ride down." The middle-aged man pointed out the window, and Lin Juan noticed that a motorcycle that looked a little dilapidated was parked on the other side of the house.
It's not so much a motorcycle as it is more like removing the shelves behind the diesel tricycle and adding a seat to the engine.
Isn't this thing dangerous to ride?
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Juan looking at the motorcycle and was distracted, and hurriedly added:
"I have to get used to riding this car, and if I change to your woman, something may happen."
Lin Qian nodded along with his words, the "you women" in the other party's words made her sound a little uncomfortable, but now is not the time to care about such a trivial matter.
The old woman soon came back from outside, brought a large handful of green and fresh vegetables, smeared some oil in the pot and fried them fragrantly, and the small stove on the other side made a meal of white porridge neatly.
Just as Lin Juan thanked him repeatedly, and when the three of them sat down and were about to start using chopsticks, there was a knock on the closed door of the house.
There are no neighbors in the vicinity, so how can anyone suddenly visit?
Lin Wan chuckled in her heart, guessing that most of them were people who came to her, and hurriedly gestured to the old woman, but fortunately, the latter quickly understood, lowered her voice, and waved her hand again and again to tell her to hide in the bedroom quickly.
Lin Juan lightly opened the wooden door of the bedroom and got in, and he didn't dare to lie at the door and listen to the movement outside.
The old woman seemed to have walked to the door of the room, opened the door, Lin Juan heard the footsteps of several people walking in, and after a short silence, the old woman stopped them:
"Hey, what are you doing? Why did you break into my house casually? β
The other party didn't answer, and the middle-aged man on the other side was not happy:
"We're eating, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Juan glanced out quietly through the crack in the door, and the person at the head was wearing a silver uniform, not the dumb man who tried to hypnotize her today.
The silver uniformed man looked coldly, looked around the room, a total of several square meters in size of the stove, what was clear at a glance, and finally his eyes fell on the table.
Two pairs of chopsticks.
Lin Juan couldn't help but sigh at his own wit, afraid that the other party would see that there were three people in the house, so he simply brought the dishes and chopsticks into the house together.
The expression of the man in the silver uniform seemed to be a little relaxed, and he raised his head, his gaze was still cold:
"Did you just see a woman in the past? He was in his twenties. β
"What nonsense, if you can see a twenty-year-old girl in this mountain, it will be my old woman who has seen hell in the daytime!" The disgust on the old woman's face was self-evident, "You have nothing else to do, so hurry up!" Don't bother here! β
The silver uniformed man looked stunned, as if he felt the unwelcome written by the old woman, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the room where Lin Juan was:
"Can you go in there and have a look?"
"No way!" The old woman grabbed his hand, "Who the hell are you?" Break into my house without saying a word, and enter my old woman's room? It's beautiful to think about! I absolutely disagree! β
Seeing that he was pointing at him, Lin Juan's heart rose to his throat, and he took two steps back in fear.
"We're just looking for someone." The man in silver uniformed looked agitated, using up the last of his patience, "No interest in these worthless things." β
"How do you speak? Who to look down on? β
The middle-aged man abruptly stood up from his position and pointed at the nose of the silver-uniformed man and cursed.
"I'll count three seconds, and if I don't put your hand down, I'll shoot."
Before the words fell, the two people who followed behind the silver uniformed man had already pulled out their pistols in unison, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the middle-aged man.
Lin Xuan's heart struggled violently.
What to do?
If she goes out at this time and is caught by those people, she will definitely not end well. But if she watched the old woman and mother and son who kindly saved her in danger, she would never have been able to do it.
"This ...... Isn't it just a fake toy gun, who's afraid of whom-"
"Bang bang!"
The man with the gun fired two shots outside the door, and without saying a word, the faces of the middle-aged man and the old woman were already pale with fright, and they no longer dared to stop the silver-uniformed man from stepping forward and opening the door of the bedroom.
"Aren't you looking for that woman? I tell you! The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became excited, and his desire to survive forced him to shout, "She's hereβ"
Before the second half of the sentence was finished, the silver uniformed man had already opened the door, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Three seconds later, the man in silver uniform turned around:
"Not in there. Where did you just say she was? β
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with confusion, fear and astonishment, staring at the door he opened quietly for a few seconds, and suddenly spoke again:
"When I first came back, I saw a figure on the hill in the direction of about the east, and I shouldn't be wrong! There's a wild loquat tree over there, it's easy to find......"
The middle-aged man said, took the initiative to walk out of the door, and pointed out to them the "direction where Lin Juan is".
The other party's scrutinizing gaze swept across his face, and a cold sweat broke out on his back for a moment.
"Got it." The man in silver uniformed finally believed him, turned around and ordered his two men, "Let's chase after him!" β
The three got into a car parked not far away and chased in the wrong direction that the middle-aged man was pointing at. Seeing that their shadows finally disappeared from view, the middle-aged man sat down on the ground as if his muscles and bones had been drained.
"Come back soon!" The old woman hid in the doorway and beckoned to him, "Come in!" β
When the middle-aged man entered the room, he saw Lin Juan sitting at the table, and couldn't help but be stunned:
"You didn't run out? Then why didn't they find you just now? β
Lin Juan knew that he had affected them, although the middle-aged man was about to betray her for a moment, but the other party even took out a gun, and it was normal for people to be afraid of death, let alone a stranger like her.
"I was hiding behind the door just now."
Lin Wan lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little low.
The middle-aged man sighed, as if he was greatly relieved: "It's okay, it's okay." β
The old woman on the side saw that the atmosphere was stiff, and hurriedly beckoned Lin Juan to eat vegetables, after a full meal, Lin Juan was embarrassed to stay in vain to watch the two of them work, and she couldn't go out to help her mother-in-law in the vegetable field, her mother-in-law simply took some gold paper to her, saying that it was pasted paper ingots, and her son could use it to exchange for some money when he went down the mountain.
