Chapter 93: Father's Words
The captain was already red-eyed, he glared and began to wait, but no matter how much he waited, he did not see the gangster appear.
He piled up a lot of tables and chairs in front of the door, so that the enemy could not rush in for a while.
He stabilized himself and moved the books off the ledge to find out if there was a way to escape. Nothing was found behind the bookshelves.
However, as he moved the book, he noticed that a folded page of the book was exposed. He flipped through it and saw a few lines of pencil writing on the book. He only read the first line, and his heart beat violently, this was actually a handwritten letter left by his father to him—
Zhou Jian, my dear child,
If God willing, you may be able to read this letter, and you will be told of the tragedy of your Father's murder at the hands of his terrible enemies! Zhou Jian, on the wall between the two windows, there is a story I wrote about the murder, I hope you can read it carefully......
"Yaqin, this discovery is too precious!"
Heavy curtains hung on the walls. The captain rushed between the two windows and pulled the curtain to the left and right, revealing the wall, and several wooden slats were nailed to it. He took an iron bar from the stove and pried open one of the planks, revealing five or six lines of pencil writing on the wall.
"These words were left by my father when he was dying!" The captain was immediately filled with grief and indignation, and he read with tears in his eyes:
In order that the wicked's treacherous plan may not succeed in the end, and that my children may be cleared of their father's vengeance, the following words are hereby left.
Ricky and I have been trapped here for four hours. All the windows and the two exits have been sealed with cement by the wicked. The two of us have no way of getting out of this place, and this will be our grave......
"Are our parents locked up here, too?"
"Yes, they wrote these words to let people know that they were framed by the wicked people."
"How come these words have not been erased by the wicked?"
"There's a curtain over it, so they didn't find out. Old Man Sean must have found out later and nailed the wooden slats to it. There should be more to come. ”
As he spoke, the captain uncovered another plank, and as the captain expected, it was written underneath:
I don't care, if I'm alone, what's the danger? Even in the face of death, there is no fear. However, the weak Ricky was also involved and put in this prison, oh, what a terrible poison! Fear and despair were too much for Ricky to bear, and she had fainted. She was praying to God for her blessing just now...... Alas, it seems that God has forsaken us...... Ricky, Ricky, please forgive me, Ricky, forgive me!
The captain and Yaqin couldn't help but glance at each other. Twenty years ago, the Captain's father begged Yaqin's mother for forgiveness, just as the Captain now begged Yaqin to forgive him.
At this moment, both of them had a deep understanding of the old man's mood at that time, and Yaqin had already burst into tears. Soon, the captain lifted another plank:
I must not let go of this vicious enemy, who has resorted to a poisonous scheme to imprison my beloved Ricky in this hell on earth. Even if I die here, my soul will hate him and curse him!
I couldn't escape death. However, I still have my beloved son to avenge me. Zhou Jian, my child, you must remember this bloody feud for your father. Avenge your father......
The Captain now felt the resentment that his father felt from the bottom of his heart. He gritted his teeth and uncovered another plank:
There was no hope of being saved, and we were both going to be buried alive in this hell. The guns in our hands were of no use, there was no enemy to attack at all, we could only sit here and wait for death to come.
As the minutes ticked by, we were approaching death. We have felt the grim reaper grinning at us in the darkness. Right now, only the pocket watch is ticking, and with each ring, our lives are reduced by a point.
It's scary to the point of no return. Ricky was at my feet, unconscious......
Hearing this, Yaqin cried "wow", at this moment she was personally experiencing her mother's state of mind at that time, and how could she not be grieved for this kind of scene!
Without saying a word, the captain pried up another plank:
What a sound, it seems to be footsteps coming from the courtyard. Is there something wrong with your ears? Or are there hallucinations in the nerves? No, it's not, it's really footsteps, someone walking. Listen to the wall and the sound will be clearer. Here it comes! Is it the enemy who is attacking us? That's just right! Instead of waiting quietly for death here, it is better to fight with them more happily! Hey, what a strange sound, digging in the ground, ...... Boom, the sound came from the kitchen. Alas, disappeared again......
"It's so uncomfortable, what the hell does the enemy want!" Yaqin trembled, anxious to listen to what was going on. Soon, the captain lifted another plank:
The strange sound went on and on for about an hour, what was he doing? The nerves were so tense that I couldn't bear it. It's finally stopped!
Oh no, there's a sound again. Someone entered the room, and it landed very lightly, right on the other side of the door...... It's a person. That's right, it's him! It was the sound of his footsteps. It's getting closer. Alas, I can't write anymore...... I walked towards the kitchen......
There was another digging sound, and there was the sound of stones hitting the pickaxe...... It's the sound of breaking glass, let's write it here, it's dangerous...... Alas, I went outside again, as if I had climbed onto the roof, what did I want to do? ……
Under the torment of extreme fear and anxiety, my father insisted on writing on the wall, and the captain had deeply felt the feeling of his father when he left the words.
Reading this, the captain's voice was almost inaudible, and Yaqin listened attentively, trembling with nervousness. At this moment, the captain suddenly stopped reading, and Yaqin listened intently, and a strange sound was coming in from outside. As described on the walls, it was really footsteps!
"Do you hear that?" The captain asked, his voice very soft.
"I heard, in the courtyard...... It's footsteps!" Out of fear, Yaqin's face was like earth. The two of them leaned together under a window and listened attentively, and there were indeed people walking around in the courtyard. Soon, footsteps went to the kitchen. After a few moments, the sound of digging sounded.
"It sounds like digging with a pickaxe, exactly what Daddy heard!"
Twenty years ago, this mysterious man imprisoned their parents here, and now he is doing the same to them.
The sound of digging came and went, and it went on for an hour. If you dig a pit, you should dig it quite deep.
"Well, stop!"
"Will go on again!"
"Well, that's right,...... It's and the sound of cement sounds hard enough. ”
Then there was the sound of glass being broken, like kitchen glass. Maybe somebody sneaked in from that place.
