Gu Jiu took a big step back in panic, and his half-crouched body suddenly sat down on the ground in panic.
Through the torch that fell to the ground, Gu Jiu saw the man's head tilted and his tongue curled up.
Feeling the coolness of the soil under his hands, his calmness suppressed his hormones first, and his heart, which was beating too fast due to fright, quickly stabilized.
This person is exactly the person who was in the wheelchair during the day!
Shao Baisi said that his eyesight was not good, but it was not a good idea. He didn't have a torch when he appeared just now. When his own torch hit him, he subconsciously turned his head. Could that mean that his eyes were afraid of light?
Fear of light.
Just as Gu Jiu was thinking about what to do next, the man rushed over.
Gu Jiu was startled, his body was faster than his mind, and he quickly turned over and rolled in the direction he came from. Then he got up and ran the way he came without looking back.
But after running sixty meters, the man suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jiu.
Is it possible that there are agencies around here?
Without time to look around, he quickly braked, turned around and ran back.
But sixty meters later, he appeared in front again.
This...he can't have an identical twin.
When he turned around and ran again this time, Gu Jiu paid attention to the rear. However, due to the darkness of the dark passage and the limited lighting space of the torches on the ground, before Gu Jiu had time to see what was going on, the man disappeared, and when he turned back, he was right in front of him.
So evil.
At this level, his physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later, and when he does, he will really become a piece of fish on the chopping board - ready to be slaughtered.
Gu Jiu took out the dagger from the space and decided to fight for once without stopping!
Gu Jiu had learned martial arts to protect himself in his previous life, but he had not experienced professional military training. His skills were mostly used for self-protection rather than killing.
This ability is quite handy for dealing with people who have no martial arts foundation, such as Gu Zheqi and others, but it is quite difficult for those who specialize in killing, such as the person in front of me.
Clang——
The dagger was kicked away and hit the opposite wall, then fell to the ground.
Damn it, you are completely at a disadvantage!
Wait, fear of light...
Gu Jiu took out a new torch and dagger from the space, lit them, held the knife in one hand and the torch in the other, and rushed over again.
The effect this time was better than the last time. As Gu Jiu expected, the man's eyes were afraid of light. When the torch was waved in front of him, he would subconsciously turn his head, which gave Gu Jiu a chance.
With his advantage in light, Gu Jiu quickly got rid of his disadvantage. The two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Just when Gu Jiu thought he was going to use his strength next, the man took out a whip from nowhere and threw it in the air, forcing Gu Jiu back several meters.
Gu Jiu: What kind of wall is this? Why does he get something when he touches it, but my hands are full of dirt when I touch them!
The man was good at whipping, but Gu Jiu couldn't get close, so he could only stay in hiding to prevent himself from getting hurt.
The two of them were entangled like this for an hour. Gu Jiu covered his heart and let out a big breath.
This man is so old, why is his physical strength still so good?
By the way, after such a long time, Shao Baisi still hasn't remembered that he didn't come in alone? Sure enough, men are unreliable as a species. My body will stink when he thinks about it.
You can't fight, you can't escape.
Seeing the people getting closer and closer, Gu Jiu took out a large pile of paper from the space. If he wasn't afraid of the light, then let's burn him to death together!
The two of them were going around, and Gu Jiu was taking things out of the space to burn. After a while, sparks fell from the sky.
Maybe there was too much light that disrupted the person's attention, or maybe Gu Jiu's attitude of not caring about death actually allowed her to find a flaw.
The first blade of the dagger pierced his heart, then he pulled it out suddenly and stabbed into his neck before being pushed away.
Maybe it's fate that favors you, or maybe people develop greater potential at critical moments.
That knife directly punctured the artery.
The fire that filled the sky gradually extinguished. After the man fell, Gu Jiu breathed out a sigh of relief.
There was a burning pain in my back arm, and when I looked back, I was shocked to realize that sparks had landed on my shoulders without knowing when, and they were quickly devouring the dry underwear.
Gu Jiugang took off his clothes in a hurry, and footsteps sounded again in the dark tunnel.
Gu Jiu's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up the dagger on the ground and pressed it against the wall of the passage.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, three, two, one, now!
"Shao Baisi!"
"Your hand is strong enough. If I hadn't caught it, I would have been stabbed to death by you right now." Shaobai Si took a step back and continued, "I just heard you screaming. What happened?"
Gu Jiu: ...It’s been two hours since I screamed!
"It's settled. Where is the person lying? By the way, I made a promise before setting off. After all, I killed the person myself."
Hearing this, Shao Baisi paused: "You...killed yourself?" How can a person with no internal strength and only brute strength solve this problem?
"Otherwise, it would be up to you to save me. My body will be cold."
Shao Baisi didn't say anything. After he walked in, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Why is there a table here and so much unburned wood? What is this, an inkstone! Why is there such a thing here?"
Gu Jiu: "...Who knows? You have to ask the person lying on the ground." The situation was so urgent just now that he threw out the inkstone and table.
Shao Baisi: "..." Do you think I believe it or not? How sick does he have to be to put so many flammable materials here for a person whose eyes are afraid of light? Besides, the ground is generally damp, so this thing was so dry that it made a rattling sound, and it looked like it had just been removed.
"Stop messing with that body and come over here and take a look."
Gu Jiu didn't want to explain more on these tables and inkstones, so he waved to Shaobai Si and motioned for him to come over.
"When I was escaping just now, I noticed that this person was in front of me in the blink of an eye. He touched the wall and took out a whip. Can you see if there are any mechanisms around here?"
As Gu Jiu felt it inch by inch, Shao Baisi came over, took off his coat, handed it to Gu Jiu, and started groping on the wall.
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, touched his shoulder with a big hole, and put on his clothes silently.
After a while, the two of them made a discovery.
"This piece of soil can be pressed down!"
Gu Jiu looked at Shao Baisi's sunken hand in shock and said.
Then Shaobaisi touched a small protrusion, slightly hooked his fingertips, and actually opened a gap the size of a person.
"Go in and have a look."
Gu Jiu and Shao Baisi entered the gap one after another. Gu Jiu raised the torch he picked up from outside and blew it. After the brightness was about the same, he looked at the surrounding walls.
"This..." Why are there so many eyes?
Gu Jiu suddenly thought that during the fight, half of the man's attack range was aimed at his face, or in other words, towards his eyes.
"I think that's where the whip came from."
Shaobaisi pointed to the dozen whips hanging nearby and said.
Gu Jiu nodded, and the two of them walked about thirty meters and found the exit mechanism on the opposite wall. The exit location was exactly where Gu Jiu saw the man emerging.
"Shao Baisi, I suddenly had an idea. Do you think there is only one road? The fork here is just a deception. The real road needs to pass through such a mechanism to enter."
Shaobaisi nodded in agreement: "I thought of it just now, but it's so big here, how can I find it?"
"I suspect it's around here."
Gu Jiu pointed in the direction of the corpse and continued: "That person appeared suddenly. It can be said that there is no clue at all! I can't be so vigilant, so the most reasonable explanation is that he just came out of the secret passage!"
"That means the secret passage is right behind me!"
Gu Jiu took Shaobai Si back to the place where he first squatted, picked up some soil, and continued: "There is yellow soil all around, but there are just a few sporadic black spots in this place."
"At first I thought it was dirt on their shoes when they passed by, but now it seems that they moved something and put down the box before entering the secret passage. So, the secret passage must be nearby!"
Shaobaisi nodded: "Let's look for them separately."
"good."
…
"found it."
After a while, Shao Baisi spoke up.
Gu Jiu quickly moved forward and opened the secret passage. The two of them looked at each other and turned sideways in a tacit understanding. After all, no one knew if there was anyone else here, just in case someone with bad ears came to him again.
After a few breaths of silence and seeing no movement, Shao Baisi poked his head out first and walked in after confirming everything was correct.
Gu Jiu followed closely behind.
There was a torch burning on the other side of the door, and its dim light illuminated the surrounding objects.
The place is very big, divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a big bed in the inner room, which is very big and can even be four meters wide. In addition, there is everything for food and use. In comparison, the outer room seems much simpler, with a table, two stools, and a few more that you can’t tell. What a small object.
"Where do you think they hid the money?"
Gu Jiu looked around and couldn't find the whereabouts of the silver.
"In bed."
"No, I just saw it...you mean in bed." Halfway through his words, Gu Jiu suddenly realized the meaning of Shao Baisi's words.
Shao Baisi nodded, took Gu Jiu's dagger, cut open the silk, cut through the soil, and hit the silver inside. The blade of the blade was slightly staggered, and with a pry, a ten-tael piece of silver rolled down with some dirt.
Gu Jiu:! ! ! Such a big bed, wouldn’t it be filled with money? Sent, sent!
"Huh? Don't we dig it out? Why do we stuff it back again?"
Gu Jiu was about to dig out the money in excitement when he saw Shao Baisi put the money back again.
"It's almost time, you have to go back and show your face first. Bury the body first, you go back and show your face, and I'll go back and find a few people to help us carry it. We will unify it at noon."
Gu Jiu: But I really want to dig now.
"Oh, okay. Don't let me find out you embezzled it! Otherwise the consequences will be serious!" He was about to leave, but Gu Jiu turned around and emphasized.
"I know, I know. Do you still have to doubt my character?"
