Chapter 30. Escape

After a few seconds, the eyes gradually adjust. Since I saw Da Mao and heard him messing around with the two guards, I found that the shortest figure was him. The rest of the people, one of them is my master, and the others are mostly students or apprentices of my master's fellow scholars. They all covered the lower part of their faces with a towel, and it seemed that even if they came to save me, they would still be worried about being remembered.

I looked at the ground, and the two guards were rolling on the ground with their stomachs clutched, their expressions pained, their mouths slightly open, but they couldn't make a sound. In the distant interrogation room, there was the sound of roaring and tugging on the door, but even though the door was pulled open, it never opened.

Master came up to me, pulled me over at once, hugged me tightly, and then he began to examine my injuries and said to me, "Shan'er, don't worry, no one can bully you now." Those guys were locked in the house by us. I hurriedly said to Master, it's useless to lock the door, Master, they have guns in their hands, and they will come out after the lock is broken with one shot, so hurry up.

The master shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said sarcastically, don't worry, they can't get out, it's my soldiers and horses who are holding the door, and these little bastards don't have the ability to do this. Then he reached out and flicked it on my head, just like I would normally be punished for doing something wrong, but this time it was light. Master said, you stupid boy, when people bully you so much that you can't bear it, why don't you fight back? Master taught you a skill, have you learned in vain? Just these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with your skills, you can clean it up casually.

Although there are other circumstances in this matter, now is not the time to explain it to Master in detail. Because there were so many "sinners" like me standing behind me, they were all very surprised when they saw this scene in front of them, and the door was wide open, but none of them dared to come out, but retreated more and more into the corner of the classroom.

I began to thank the rest of the people who came to help, they were all I had seen, except for Da Mao and I who had a better time, the others were only a few faces, and this kind of friendship was completely impossible for them to take such a risk to save each other. In fact, I also guessed that it must have been the master who found out about my whereabouts and asked other masters to help rescue me. Those masters are all well-known in the industry, so it is naturally inconvenient for them to go out in person, so they let their apprentices help. In any case, it is a favor to me.

I looked at the two guards on the ground who were tossing and turning in pain, and asked Master, "What's the matter with these two guys?" Master snorted and said, this is retribution, to clean up this little scum, I don't have to do it myself at all. Do you remember the man who died at our doorstep? I said it was the man's ghost? Master said yes, but he also told him that he could only punish them a little to make sure that they could not stop saving people, and not harm people's lives, otherwise Master would also have to clean it up. Master said, when we go away, we will take this ghost away and let it practice in my altar, it is a person who died in vain, and it is extremely angry, if it is not for me to make an appointment with it in three chapters, I really dare not say that I can control it.

Da Mao pulled my master's sleeve and said, Master Lin, hurry up, let's go quickly, and then talk about it when it's safe, and send Brother Shan out first. Master nodded, then leaned around and shouted to the people in the classroom across me: "Folks, now that the door is wide open, if you don't want to continue to be criticized and bullied, you can leave by yourself." Whether you're here or hiding from the limelight is up to you.

After speaking, the Master reached out and knocked on the door of the classroom a few times, and then said, "This is the hell of injustice, and the whole world is outside." Goodbye and good luck to you.

Then Master and Da Mao supported me on one side and led me to the entrance of the playground. When we passed the door, there were two sentries, and now they were still standing straight, but they did not respond to our entry or exit. I was surprised and wanted to ask Master, but Master had expected me to ask, so he pinched my arm and whispered, "Don't keep quiet, these two things are so blinded that they can't see us." When I turned my head to look at Da Mao, he winked triumphantly at me, and I realized why he was able to get into the courtyard so easily, because he had already charmed the two sentries at the door, so that they could not see themselves.

Twenty or thirty meters past the sentinel, he came to the corner of the city wall. During the day I was in this place and was made the enemy of the whole people. In the night, there was a whistling sound behind the corner, and a wooden cart pulled by a donkey was parked. Master asked me to sit in the car quickly, and he himself first thanked Da Mao and a few of my peers, saying that after this matter subsided, he should bring his disciples to the door to thank him, and now that the situation is urgent, he will take his leave, and please take care of yourself and try to keep a low profile in the near future.

Da Mao and those people are the younger generations of the master, so they walked to the wooden cart and comforted me a few words, these peers who have less contact on weekdays, at this moment seem to me to be so kind, I thanked them one by one, and told them that today's kindness, Situ Shan will repay it in the future. Da Mao was the last to come over to say goodbye to me, I hugged him, Da Mao said to me, we may not be able to see each other for a long time, but if you want to play with me, send me a letter, I will definitely come to you.

A child is a child after all, even if he sometimes looks quite old. So I told him that I will, and that when we're gone, don't forget to remove the tricks of the two sentinels, and be careful not to get caught up in me.

Then the master got into the car, took a package from the donkey's back and threw it to me, saying that I have brought you a clean piece of clothing here, you should change it quickly, and we will go out of the city. I asked Master, where is this going? Because from the time Master and they came to rescue me, I knew that I would definitely not go home, at least not for a short time. Master said, go and hide from the limelight, let's go to the countryside.

I quickly changed my clothes, and Master drove the donkey cart in the direction of the outside of the city, this way out of the city, on the way there will be a lot of places I have been to on the way, it is getting late, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but the surrounding tall and low houses in the unique geographical structure of Chongqing City, it looks so scattered. There were electric lights on in many houses, and I was probably in a hurry to flee in a hurry while people were going about their lives peacefully. This is where I grew up, and I am going to stay away from it because I haven't done it?

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly felt sour, when Master and Da Mao came to save me, when Master held me in his arms, and when Da Mao said goodbye to me, I didn't cry, but at this moment, I sat on the wooden cart, hugged my knees and cried. Master was driving the donkey cart behind me, and he must have heard my crying clearly, but he didn't say a word, didn't even look back at me, and just silently shed the tears that had been accumulated in his heart all these days.

Gradually, it had sailed out of the city, and the suburbs of the city were mostly farmland and hillsides, and in those days, if you wanted to cross the river, you had to take a ferryboat, but it was very late, and there were no boats for a long time. The lights on the outskirts of the city were much less than in the city, and the road was becoming more and more difficult to walk, so Master used a flashlight to shine on the road and drove the donkey cart to a wild road up the mountain, where there were more weeds, indicating that although there were people walking on this road, there were not many people walking on this road. After the Master stopped the car, he used the frame to prop up the plank, then removed the rope that tied the donkey and tied it to a tree by the side of the road.

Master said to me, "Let's stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning." You've been suffering for the past few days, go to sleep, Master will help you watch. Master said that, I couldn't sleep, and the starry sky was fine that night, so I asked Master how he found my whereabouts. Master said that since the day I was arrested, he asked people to inquire around, and several base camps near the city were found, but there was no way to enter, so he could not confirm where I was being held.

Master said, Shan'er, you must listen to Master in the future, if you are obedient and don't go out that day, how can there be such a thing in the future. I asked Master, but I was very careful at the time, seeing that no one was going to burn paper for that person, and if this person died here, if he didn't get rid of his resentment, it would have a great impact on our surroundings. Master scolded me and said, "Have you forgotten that I'm still here?" Even if you don't do these things, doesn't Master know how to do them? You secretly went out in the middle of the night, and happened to be seen at home, and then denounced you, not to mention that you have eaten the bitterness of the flesh and skin, and now you can't go back to your home, do you think it's worth it?

Of course, it's not cost-effective, but I never regret what I did, because if I had someone else, I might have done the same, and that's my conscience. So I told Master, "Do you know who told me?" Master said he didn't know, but it must be our neighbors, and he knew what our occupations were. On the afternoon of the day you were arrested, someone came to my house and asked me if I was in this industry like you.

I asked Master a little strangely, what is wrong with our industry, just because it is a folk skill that has been passed down for thousands of years, so it has to be judged as a feudal element? If we don't fight in the face of such unfairness, then let's not talk about us, even if it's this industry, it's hopeless.

Between my words, I was a little emotional, and it has indeed made me feel aggrieved in the past few days, and now that Master is my closest person, I naturally don't have to talk anymore to hide it. But when the master heard this, he looked at me for a long time, and then sighed and said, Shan'er, the way of the world has changed, saying that you are a feudal element, that is all good, let's have a name now, called "cow ghost snake god", that is, people who pretend to be gods and ghosts and spread feudal ideas.

I stopped talking, I was angry, I didn't hate the person who denounced me, because he himself was a person who didn't see the world clearly, these days I have also figured it out, when I encounter this incident, even if I deserve this in my own life, what I need to choose is whether to survive or not.

Master said that whether it is a great official or an ordinary person, in the final analysis, they are all human beings, and if they are human beings, they will make mistakes, and if they are human beings, they may make mistakes, but it doesn't matter if we do wrong things, but don't do bad things.
