Chapter 50: The Strange Masked Guest
"Brother Ye, why don't you speak?" Zhong Qing leaned over and looked at the cellar with a curious expression, it didn't matter what he saw, even Zhong Qing opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw that under the light of the fire, there were forty or fifty pairs of eyes in the cellar, looking at Ye Chengye Zhong Qing timidly, and the owners of these eyes were all children who were only seven or eight years old, or even five or six years old.
Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing had never seen such a scene in their lives, they saw that in this cramped cellar, these children's hands were all tied to the pillars one by one, and no one could get close to anyone, everyone's mouths were stuffed with something like cotton wool, and bursts of foul smell poured up along the cellar mouth, and the ground was very dirty.
As soon as the children saw the light, they all struggled with a whimper, suffering from the instep of their hands and feet, and could not speak, so they could only twist their bodies and make whining sounds.
In such a dilapidated and inconspicuous abandoned wooden house, such a heinous act was hidden, who had taken these children into captivity, and who had thrown them into such a filthy cellar? Even a person with a good temper like Ye Cheng couldn't help but be furious at this time, his muscles were tensed, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his fists clenched and gurgling.
"Qing'er, help me hold the fire fold first. Ye Cheng turned to Zhong Qing and said.
As soon as Zhong Qing took the fire fold, Ye Cheng leaned down and climbed down the ladder in the cellar, untied the rope of a five or six-year-old girl and the cotton wool in her mouth, and brought her up first.
I saw that this little girl was very depressed because of this filthy environment and frightened, and she was also full of fear for Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing in front of her, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing hurriedly bent down and said softly: "Little sister, don't be afraid, my brother and sister are good people, and I came to go back to see my father and mother." ”
The little girl took a few steps back, twisting her hands together and fiddling with them, her face still full of surprise.
Ye Cheng sighed, thinking in his heart that it would not be difficult to bring these children to the ground, but how could he take them all out of the island? Since they were imprisoned here, it must have been done by the people on the island, maybe the owner of the island, Wei Chong, was one of them, if this was the case, the island must be strictly guarded, except for the broken boat of Lao Scar, how could there be a boat that could carry so many children?
When Ye Cheng was thinking about it, he saw Zhong Qing take out a hosta from the top of his head, and said softly: "Little girl, do you think my sister's hairpin is beautiful?
Saying that, Zhong Qing slowly stretched out her hand and was about to tie the hairpin on the head of this little girl.
Suddenly, the little girl grinned at the corners of her mouth, and cried loudly: "Don't! Don't! Xiu'er doesn't want a hairpin, Xiu'er wants a mother!"
The cry seemed to have lit a fuse, and only a few of the children in the cellar were suddenly crying as well, and in an instant the whole cellar was crying more and more, and the sound was particularly evident in the wooden house in the silence of the night.
Ye Cheng secretly screamed badly! With such a loud cry in his heart, how could he not summon the people on the island, he had to make a quick decision.
"Qing'er, what do you think is going to be now?" Ye Cheng asked.
How could Zhong Qing have this kind of experience, and he had never coaxed a child, and he was a little flustered when he saw this situation, so he immediately forced himself to settle down and said: "Brother Ye, I think the plan for today is to rescue them first and then think about it in the long run, it is so filthy in this cellar that it is easy to get sick." ”
Ye Cheng nodded, leaned down and was about to go down into the cellar again, but at this moment, the door behind them creaked.
"Who!"
Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing's necks felt cold, and they hurriedly looked back.
He saw a man of medium stature, dressed in a wide robe, standing in the wooden doorway, and the moonlight shining through the door and falling on his back and shoulders.
Ye Cheng hurriedly aimed the fire at the man, but when he saw this person, his face was expressionless, like a dead man.
Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing couldn't help but take a few steps back with the child. I saw that the man didn't say a word, and walked in slowly. The night breeze swayed back and forth, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed to condense.
At this time, the two of them saw clearly, and saw that the reason why the person in front of them was expressionless was because he had a mask on his face, only two eyes were exposed, and the cold light was pressing.
Ye Cheng subconsciously blocked Zhong Qing behind him, pretending to be calm and smiled: "Your Excellency is so interested, on this moonlit and clear night, you will come to trick people with a mask, why don't you meet you with your real body?"
The masked man still stood coldly, his eyes like a lost jackal in the dark forest, and it made people shudder.
"Oh, I understand, it must be that Your Excellency's dignity is too ugly, so you don't want to show your true face, yes or no?" At this time, Ye Cheng's back was already cold, but this temperament that did not flinch and was afraid of the enemy still did not change.
The mask man's wide sleeved robe was blown by the wind, and he slowly stretched out his hand from the sleeve robe and pointed at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng laughed, turned around and took the fire fold in Zhong Qing's hand, and said, "It seems that this childlike heart is still alive, and he knows that there are many children here, so he has to play here." ”
Although Ye Cheng's words were said to Zhong Qing, suddenly between the lightning and flint, his right hand was raised, and the fire fold flew out quickly, heading straight for the mask face door!
The masked man seemed to have expected it, and saw that his body didn't seem to move much, but he just toed a little, and lightly dodged the fire fold thrown by Ye Cheng. The fire flickered out of the house with the sound of the wind, and fell far away in the grass, and the fire flickered, and suddenly disappeared.
In fact, this is Ye Cheng's plan, after this person entered the house, Ye Cheng already had a plan in his heart, since this person is wearing a mask, he must have come prepared, his martial arts must not be weak, he has no chance of winning, not to mention that there are still forty or fifty children here who need to be rescued, if he can't strike first, he will definitely alarm the people on the island, so not only will it be difficult for the children to be rescued, but it will also be difficult to save the lives of himself and Zhong Qing.
Therefore, Ye Cheng's intention to hit the fire fold was not to hit this person, but to make the house gloomy.
Sure enough, after the masked man dodged the fire fold, the fire fold flew out of the house and extinguished, and the room suddenly became dark. Ye Cheng pushed Zhong Qing with his hand, signaling her to take the little girl away quickly, while he calculated the direction and attacked the masked man with a sudden punch.
The light skill that the masked man showed when he dodged the fire bend just now made Ye Cheng understand that the opponent in front of him was by no means idle, so Ye Cheng made ten successful moves with this move, but he wanted to defeat the enemy with one blow. But what he never expected was that this punch was caught by that person with his palm!
Ye Cheng only felt that his fist seemed to be caught by a crab claw, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly made a move "horse back to the hoof", and kicked the masked man's wrist obliquely from the bottom to the top with his right leg. The masked man let go and retreated, and Ye Cheng kicked it into the air. Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng turned around, kicked the mask man's lower abdomen with his left foot, the mask man was on tiptoe, and his body had already retreated from the ground, Ye Cheng used too much force, and almost shook himself.
After only two or three moves, Ye Cheng already knew that he was definitely not this person's opponent, but now at the moment of life and death, he couldn't care a lot, thinking that even if he couldn't escape from this place, he would never let Zhong Qing be affected.
Immediately, Ye Cheng urged his true qi and attacked again, his moves were like a storm, and he shouted while fighting: "Qing'er, go quickly, go and report the news!"
Ye Cheng knew that if she only let Zhong Qing escape for her life, she would not be obedient with her character, but if she asked her to inform Lu Li quickly, maybe she would agree.
Zhong Qing was already anxious at this time and wanted to help, but her kung fu was too commonplace, and she couldn't help but wonder why she didn't learn from her father Zhong Wanhou in the first place.
"Brother Ye, you have to be careful!" Zhong Qing knew that he was causing chaos here, so he wanted to seize the door and go out to report to his master Lu Li.
Here, Ye Cheng stepped up his moves, trying to drag down the masked man, but no matter how he attacked, it was difficult to hurt him in the slightest. At this time, but when he saw the Gu man, his right hand suddenly turned into a palm, and the oblique stab slashed at Ye Cheng's neck, Ye Cheng didn't expect that he could attack calmly in defense, and hurriedly set up his left elbow to block, only to hear a bang, Ye Cheng felt as if his elbow was hit by a boulder, and then his body was like a falling leaf in autumn, flying out, and falling heavily on the three-legged table, only to hear the sound of "collapse", and the table was smashed into several sections!
As soon as Ye Chengfu landed, the masked man suddenly changed his moves, and his hand attacked Zhong Qing like lightning, which frightened Zhong Qinghua's discoloration, and he screamed and hurriedly dodged, but how could Zhong Qing's three-legged cat kung fu avoid the masked man's sudden attack, even if he avoided the key point in his heart, he still inevitably hit the trick, only to see Zhong Qing scream again, and suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng didn't know where he got the strength, so he shouted angrily and attacked the mask man again. The masked man waved his long sleeves, and suddenly Ye Cheng felt a powerful internal force rushing towards him, as if he was overwhelmed, it was too late to dodge, and he immediately bit his teeth, his true qi run, and he struck out with both palms, and took it with his true qi.
Immediately, only a thunderous sound could be heard in the room, the dust on the wall was shaken down, the cobwebs were broken in response, the wooden beams on it were cracked in several places, and even the chairs by the wall were shaken apart.
Ye Cheng took four or five steps back, his back slammed against the wall, and then he saw that the masked man also staggered back a few steps, until the door, his two eyes showed a very surprised look through the dead-like mask.
Ye Cheng knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lu Li and Nie Guangyang's two mixed yuan true qi protectors, this moment just now would have been enough to kill him on the spot.
At this moment, suddenly the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the weather on the island was changing rapidly, which was normal, but at this time, the sudden change happened to help Ye Cheng. At that moment, I saw the moonlight disappearing, and suddenly it was pitch black in the wooden house, and it was difficult to see the five fingers when I stretched out my hand.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Ye Cheng endured the pain in his heart, and suddenly lowered his body and hid in the corner of the wooden house.
In the dark wooden house, he could only hear that the masked man seemed to be moving slowly, Ye Cheng held his breath and concentrated, not daring to make the slightest sound, but he carefully identified the position of the other party, ready to surprise and defeat the enemy with one blow.
