…………
The lights were dim, the stone walls were damp and cold, and the thatch exuded a rotting smell.
The dungeon seems to be the same as before.
Of the five prisoners, only three are now left.
Feng Laoqi had woken up from a coma. He was lying in the haystack, breathing heavily. Perhaps due to the serious injury, he lost his former arrogance and became weak.
Ginger Bear, since returning to the dungeon, has been clamoring about his misery and his unyielding feats. He scolded Yu Ye again, saying that if he escaped today's torture, he would not be able to withstand tomorrow's torture. But no one paid attention to him, so he could only lie down and sleep in frustration.
Yu Ye, hiding in the corner alone. There was a thoughtful look in his blinking eyes. And while thinking about it, there was a hint of expectation.
It's getting late at night.
Suddenly there was a violent cough.
"Ahem——"
I saw Feng Laoqi trembling, as if he couldn't breathe, coughing violently: "Ahem...Old Xiong...my brother will not survive, listen to me..."
Jiang Xiong woke up suddenly and hurriedly crawled over and asked, "Tell me, where are the belongings..." But before he could finish his words, his neck was already strangled by an iron chain. His expression changed with horror, and he said incoherently: "Qi... Qi brother, why do you have to be like this..."
Feng Laoqi had turned over and sat up, the chains in his hands tightly strangling Jiang Xiong's neck. At this time, he no longer looked weak at all, and said with a ferocious smile: "Brother, I want to ask you a few words!"
"Old Bear dare not hide it..."
"Lu Kai and Feng Er are dead?"
"No……"
The chain around Jiang Xiong's neck suddenly tightened, and he was so frightened that he quickly changed his words -
"Lu... Lu Kai and Feng Er were beaten to death, dragged outside the village and buried..."
"You betrayed your brother!"
"Spare my life..."
The smile on Feng Laoqi's face turned cold, and he suddenly exerted force on his hands.
"No……"
Jiang Xiong still wanted to struggle, but with a crisp sound, his head tilted, and his begging for mercy suddenly stopped.
"He...he's dead?"
There was such a big commotion in the dungeon, how could Yu Ye remain indifferent. And he had been watching silently, as if he was too scared to speak. When Feng Laoqi broke Jiang Xiong's neck, he stood up in a hurry.
"Bah, unless he dies, you and I will never survive!"
Feng Laoqi spat bitterly, glared again, and scolded in a low voice: "You are so verbose, hurry up -"
"Uh-huh……"
Yu Zhiye nodded as if he understood something, turned around and shouted toward the door: "Here comes someone——"
It was the dead of night.
The cry echoed through the cave.
After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and a strong man appeared outside the door, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Yu Ye stretched out his hand to signal and said in panic: "Dead——"
"Who died?"
"Both are dead!"
In the dungeon, there were indeed two people lying there, standing upright and motionless. It was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
Without thinking much, the man opened the chain, pushed open the wooden door, and walked into the dungeon. When he walked closer to Jiang Xiong, he saw that the man on the ground was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his eyes were white, and he was obviously dead. He hurriedly checked on the other person and was suddenly hit hard on his legs. He was unprepared and fell to the ground violently. He had no time to struggle, and his neck was broken by the "click" of the iron hoop-like arm.
Yu Yechu stayed on the spot, stunned.
A man with his hands and feet tied and severely wounded could easily kill two strong men. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe it. And his next move may be even more unexpected.
"call--"
Feng Laoqi pushed the dead man away, took a deep breath, then stood up and said in a deep voice: "Come with me -"
Where to go?
Escape from the dungeon of course!
Yu Ye followed Feng Laoqi out. The moment he passed through the wooden door, he couldn't help but look back behind him, his heart throbbing secretly.
He had thought about escaping from the dungeon, but it was just a thought. Unexpectedly, a thief whom he hated would turn his bad luck around.
In a flash of thought, Feng Laoqi had reached the end of the cave.
Yu Ye was a few feet behind. He was dragging the heavy chain, fearing to make any noise, so he inevitably moved slowly.
To the left at the end of the cave is the place where the Yan family beat people. There is no one at this time.
To the right is a stone staircase.
Feng Laoqi became cautious. He quietly made a gesture, grasped the iron chains on his hands and feet to avoid bumping, and then walked up the stone stairs step by step.
Past the stone staircase is a stone room.
Perhaps after hearing some movement, a person emerged from the stone room and happened to bump into Feng Laoqi. He exclaimed: "Thief..."
Feng Laoqi didn't allow the man to make a sound, and knocked him to the ground with a "bang" punch. He picked up a long knife and ordered: "Open the door!"
Yu Ye followed into the stone room.
The man who fell to the ground had a crack in his head, red and white flowing out, and was extremely bloody.
The stone room should be the place where the guards sleep, with a charcoal fire burning, mattresses and messy items. There is another wooden door that is closed and locked with a chain.
Yu Ye found a key, opened the iron lock, untied the iron chain, and then reached out to push the wooden door open.
Outside the door, a cold wind blew.
Yu Ye couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Finally seeing the light of day again, even if I just take a breath, I feel so relaxed and comfortable.
However, the surrounding snow was patchy, the trees were shadowy, and the courtyard walls overlapped, making the path unclear for the time being. They haven't escaped from the Yan family's courtyard yet, and it's far from time to cheer and rejoice.
"This way--"
Feng Laoqi crossed Yu Ye's side, waved to him, then jumped up and ran straight to the left.
Seeing that he looked weird, it was really helpless. His hands and feet are tied with iron chains, making it difficult to move. He can only run faster by jumping up and down.
Yuye immediately followed suit and jumped forward.
Under the hazy night, two figures ran wildly like dancing. Then the iron chain made a "clatter, clatter" sound, and the quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.
"stop……"
"The thief escaped from the dungeon..."
Figures emerged from the darkness one after another. Suddenly, torches were shaking and shouts were heard everywhere.
Yu Ye followed and ran through the courtyard and around the woods. There is another courtyard ahead, and there are several alleys leading to different places. The shouts are getting closer and closer, and the light of the torch can already illuminate the figures. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Feng Laoqi stopped, looked around, and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face.
Bad, Feng Laoqi is lost.
But Yu Ye just ran along and was already dizzy.
What should I do? If I am caught again and beaten, I am afraid that I will really die in the dungeon.
"The thief is here——"
Just when he was anxious, two strong men rushed out from behind Yu Ye, roaring loudly and slashing with their swords. He hid in a hurry, made a mistake in his hurry, forgot about the chain, and fell to the ground with a "plop". Seeing the light of the sword reaching the top of his head, there was a sudden "ding-dong" sound, followed by a flash of blood, and the two heads flew out.
It was Feng Laoqi who rescued him and killed the two of them with a knife.
Yu Ye was in shock and was pulled up from the ground.
"Go ten feet from here, go right through the alley, climb over the courtyard wall, cough cough..."
Before Feng Laoqi could finish his words, he coughed violently, perhaps because of his injury, and his right leg trembled slightly. But he still waved his hands repeatedly and urged: "Lead the way——"
lead the way?
Yu Ye took two steps and then turned back.
"you……"
Feng Laoqi was about to get angry when Yu Ye grabbed his arm. He was a little surprised, but he continued to move forward with help. It was just that his right leg was injured and he was limping a little less agile.
In order to escape for their lives, a thief who ran amok and a young man from the mountains finally became true accomplices.
The two supported each other through the courtyard and alley.
In front of me is a snowfield covered with bamboo. Looking through the sparse bamboo forest, a courtyard wall surrounds the surrounding area.
Feng Laoqi looked around for a moment, raised his knife and pointed forward.
Yu Ye nodded in understanding and helped him run towards the bamboo forest.
The clattering chains rolled across the snow, bringing up strings of snowflakes behind them.
"Thieves, please leave—"
Shouts rang out, and several figures rushed over.
Feng Laoqi stretched out his hand and pushed him hard, shouting: "Climb over the wall——"
Yu Ye couldn't hold his feet and staggered into the bamboo forest. But he saw that the courtyard wall was five feet high and he couldn't climb over it.
"Ding Dong——"
"Bang, bang——"
Before Feng Laoqi approached the bamboo forest, he was overtaken by three men. He turned around and slashed with his sword, killing one person immediately. The remaining companions fled in panic, but could not get away. And more figures appeared in the distance, each one yelling and chasing after them.
Yu Ye was so anxious that he stamped his feet repeatedly.
Escape from the Yan family is so difficult. And how can a courtyard wall block the path of life and death?
Yu Ye suddenly had an idea, grabbed a thick bamboo and climbed up.
The bamboos here are growing vigorously and are already quite high above the courtyard wall. As long as you climb up along the bamboos, you can use the strength to cross the wall. What's more, he has been good at climbing trees since he was a child, and now he can climb freely even if he is tied to an iron chain.
Using his hands and feet together, he was two feet off the ground in an instant.
The courtyard wall a few feet away is at your feet.
Yu Ye did not leave in a hurry, but shouted loudly: "Feng Laoqi——"
Feng Laoqi struggled with the two men and gradually became unable to hold on. If more Yan family children trapped him, the situation would be even more unimaginable.
At the critical moment, Yu Ye's shout came from overhead.
"Ha ha--"
Feng Laoqi laughed loudly, threw out the long knife in his hand, rushed into the bamboo forest, grabbed a bamboo and jumped up.
At the same time, torches were lit and crowds gathered in front of the bamboo forest.
Yu Ye is still waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, I saw a figure jumping up in the forest. It was Feng Laoqi. He had climbed to a high place along the bamboo and shouted urgently: "Jump down -"
Looking down, it was dark and unpredictable outside the wall. It takes a lot of courage to really jump.
At the moment of life and death, how dare you hesitate.
Yu Ye held the bamboo and shook it vigorously, taking advantage of the momentum to fly down. While the man was in mid-air, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring exploding. He couldn't help but feel nervous, but he could only fall down as if resigned to fate.
"Crackling——"
It was the sound of breaking branches.
"Thump, thump—"
It was the sound of two people landing one after another.
Yu Ye lay on the ground, his mouth and nose filled with dust. He spat and slowly got up. The ground was quite soft, as if it was covered with fallen leaves. It fell so hard that no muscles or bones were hurt.
"ah--"
It was Feng Laoqi who was moaning. Even though he was tortured, he didn't make a sound, so I guess he was in bad condition at this time.
Yu Ye followed the sound and walked over.
Feng Laoqi lay on the ground and gasped: "Help me!"
Yu Ye helped Feng Laoqi up and wanted to check his injuries, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the darkness. He heard him say again: "There is a horse under the tree in front of me, which I hid in advance. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so leave quickly." go!"
A horse, a hidden horse?
Yu Ye supported Feng Laoqi as he groped forward. He found that his hands were wet, as if they were covered in blood.
Not far away, there was indeed a horse tied in front of it, still munching on fodder, not yelling or yelling, waiting for its owner's arrival. There is also a luggage tied to its back.
Yu Ye couldn't care less about being surprised and was about to help Feng Laoqi get on the horse, but Feng Laoqi actually stopped moving forward. He thought about giving a warning, but suddenly his heart sank...
