Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele hid behind the tool racks placed in the room, while Lei Lanting hid under the large tool table. The three of them held their breath.
Dong Qiangqiang noticed Tong Lele's nervousness. He gently squeezed her hand and motioned for her to cover her mouth. Tong Lele quickly did so.
Through the gap in the tool rack, Dong Qiangqiang secretly looked towards the door carefully and saw a short, thin young foreign man who was the first to rush into the house holding a black object. He scanned the furnishings in the house with his eyes, and immediately found the manhole cover on the ground. He quickly turned around and shouted: "There is also a well in this house." His voice sounded high-pitched, and although he spoke in German, it sounded weird and seemed strange. Like the Germans.
A tall man with medium build and dark skin followed closely and walked in. He looked both German and different, but it was certain that neither of them were from Southeast Asia.
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but be stunned: he had never seen them before, and they didn't look like Yipin Furong's group. Aren't these people here to chase me? So what is their goal? Could it be Mueller? He looked at the two of them cautiously and was surprised to find that the slender man seemed to be holding a pistol.
The two of them rummaged around the house for a while, only to hear the swarthy man hum and say: "Open the manhole cover."
Dong Qiangqiang's sight was blocked by other furniture in the room, and he couldn't see the other party's movements. He only heard the sound of metal hitting the floor, and then heard a sharp voice saying: "There is nothing inside, it's empty."
"Empty?" The buzzing man didn't seem to believe it, "Go down and have a look."
The slender man got in as instructed, and the buzzing man slowly walked to the tool table. While turning his head to see if there was anyone hiding behind the sofa and cabinet next to the tool table, he pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat on it. .
He opened the drawer of the tool table and rummaged through it. The two legs were hanging under the table, but they were not stable. Instead, they were changing positions back and forth under the table. Lei Lanting had to use the limited space to keep moving, and was almost hit in the face by the wind from the opponent's legs several times.
Seeing the buzzing man sitting at the table, Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele's hearts were in their throats, especially Tong Lele, who felt like they would scream at any time.
Dong Qiangqiang quietly held a metal wrench on the tool rack in his hand, and kept thinking in his mind: If Lei Lanting was discovered, how would he go to rescue him. The man in the well had a gun in his hand. I wonder if the buzzing man also had a gun in his hand. In addition, he didn't know how many people were outside the house. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Lei Lanting hid under the table, mentally prepared to rush out at any time. The only thing he was worried about was that he didn't prepare a weapon for himself before hiding. His bare hands were not his strong point.
The buzzing man's eyes were suddenly attracted by the pajamas bundle behind the sofa. Lei Lanting had no time to hide it just now, so he could only throw it behind the sofa nearby. Unexpectedly, the buzzing man saw it at a glance.
The buzzing man stood up, walked slowly to the bundle of pajamas, kicked it twice, then squatted down and started to unbutton the bundle. But Lei Lanting just hit a few deadlocks, and the buzzing man couldn't untie them for a while. Just as he was about to get the scissors on the cabinet next to him, the slender man suddenly poked his head out of the well: "Boss, there's no one in there. It’s empty.”
Before the thin man finished speaking, someone suddenly ran into the house hurriedly outside the house and shouted in a neither male nor female voice: "Boss, a person just ran over over there, do you want to chase him?"
"Hurry up!" The buzzing man didn't care about unpacking anymore and ran towards the door. Upon seeing this, the Slender Man immediately climbed out of the well. As soon as he ran to the door, he heard the Humming Man shouting at him: "Let's go after them. You burn these two houses."
The slender man responded and quickly turned around and closed the door.
Seeing the two people leaving, Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele were slightly relieved, but they didn't know if the other party had gone far, so neither of them dared to come out of their hiding place to watch.
With his sharp ears, Dong Qiangqiang heard the sound of a padlock outside the door. He turned slightly sideways and looked outside, but he couldn't see anything. He boldly walked to the window and looked out, only to see the slender man holding a big bucket in his hand, running back and forth and scattering something on the ground.
Dong Qiangqiang asked Tong Lele to stand by the window and observe what was going on outside. He ran to the table, leaned over and asked, "Lao Lei, are you okay?"
Lei Lanting's body was wet with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He lay face down on the ground and kept breathing heavily. He raised his hand and waved to indicate that he was okay, but he couldn't say a word. It seemed that he was very frightened just now.
While Dong Qiangqiang listened carefully to the movement outside the door, he carefully helped Lei Lanting out from under the table and let him lean against the sofa.
Tong Lele suddenly waved to him, and Dong Qiangqiang trotted to her side. Tong Lele covered her mouth, pointed out the window nervously, and said with a trembling voice, "He seems to be setting fire."
As soon as the word "fire" was said, a large ball of flames shot up from the ground. In less than a second, a row of scorching walls of fire burned around the house.
Through the window, Dong Qiangqiang saw the thin man running outside another house and doing the same thing. Dong Qiangqiang rushed to the door and pulled the door hard with his hand, but the door only shook a few times and did not open.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Tong Lele and said solemnly: "The door is stuck from the outside."
"What should we do?" Tong Lele looked confused.
Lei Lanting came over at some point. He picked up a chair and pointed at the window: "Wouldn't it be over if I smashed it?"
"This room only has the two front windows. If they are smashed, they will definitely be discovered." Dong Qiangqiang denied.
"If you find it, you'll find it. At worst, you'll have to fight with them. I'm definitely not afraid." The muscles in the corner of Lei Lanting's mouth twitched twice, and a murderous look appeared on his face. "You are not afraid of wild boars, are you still afraid of these dwarfs? ?”
After experiencing something together with Dong Qiangqiang, Lei Lanting became much more courageous. On the one hand, his practical experience was enriched, and on the other hand, he became more and more confident in Dong Qiangqiang.
"A fight to the death is not good for us," Dong Qiangqiang shook his head, "They have guns in their hands."
"Gun?" Tong Lele was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hand.
"Are you sure he is holding a gun?" Lei Lanting asked with some disbelief, "Could it be that you saw it wrong?"
Dong Qiangqiang looked out the window for a while, then turned to look inside the room, and whispered: "We can't take the risk of betting on whether he is holding a gun. There must be other ways to get out of here."
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and flames could be seen dancing on the door frames, window frames, and even the roof.
"Find a way quickly. The house is about to burn down." Tong Lele said with a cry.
Lei Lanting looked around: "Old Dong, the only exit in this room is locked by him. If we don't smash the window, how can we escape?"
At this time, a piece of wood that was on fire suddenly fell into the house, causing sparks to fly. Tong Lele was so frightened that she yelled, and Lei Lanting quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
Dong Qiangqiang's eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered: "We don't have to run out, as long as we all hide in the well and put the lid on, we won't be afraid."
Lei Lanting was stunned for a second: "Yes, this is a good move!"
Lei Lanting threw his pajamas into the well and climbed down first, followed by Tong Lele and finally Dong Qiangqiang. The moment he gently closed the manhole cover, another piece of burning wood fell in front of his eyes.
The three of them sat staring in the well. Tong Lele took out her mobile phone to check if there was any signal, but the phone seemed to be asleep and there was no response at all. She became more agitated and walked in circles back and forth in the well.
Dong Qiangqiang comforted him and said, "Lele, I'll make peace with you now that you're here. Can you sit down and have a rest first?"
"I have claustrophobia." Tong Lele curled her lips, "I can't sit still."
"Then can you stop spinning for a few minutes before spinning again?" Dong Qiangqiang pleaded, "If you keep spinning like this, I will feel dizzy."
"Then how long do we have to stay here?" Tong Lele asked resentfully.
"It should be soon." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at his watch.
Although it is underground, the temperature in the well is gradually getting higher. Lei Lanting suddenly sighed: "Hey..."
"Why are you sighing?" Dong Qiangqiang turned around and asked.
"I'm thinking that the three of us are now roast ducks," Lei Lanting wiped the sweat from his face, "or stewed roast ducks."
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat." Tong Lele kicked the pajamas bundle thrown on the ground angrily, "When is it?"
"Hey, what's wrong with eating? Don't kick my baggage." Lei Lanting quickly stopped him, but Tong Lele seemed to be addicted and kicked the baggage a few more times. Lei Lanting turned to Dong Qiangqiang and shouted, "Old Dong, you Help take care of her."
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly smiled: "I thought of a way to calm Lele down."
"What method can you tell me?" Lei Lanting felt that he was almost overwhelmed.
"Split the money." Dong Qiangqiang pointed to the baggage with a smile, "This is the money for the three of us. It's okay now anyway. It's just a good time to split the money."
"What's the share?" Tong Lele stopped moving her feet, pointed at the baggage, and asked in disbelief: "Is there any money in this?"
"Hey, ask Lao Lei to open it for you to see."
Lei Lanting originally wanted to go out and break up, but then he thought it was more important to let Tong Lele calm down first, in case she attracted people from outside. Thinking of this, he whispered: "It's okay to split the money, but don't shout."
Tong Lele blinked and nodded.
The colorful banknotes were bundled up in her pajamas. Looking at the large bag full of banknotes, Tong Lele didn't say anything for a long time.
She slowly knelt down, gently unfolded a ball of banknotes with her hands, and kept rubbing them.
Dong Qiangqiang glanced at Lei Lanting, nodded with a smile, and mouthed: Am I right?
Lei Lanting raised his thumb and replied: "I admire you!"
"How much... is this total?" Tong Lele asked softly.
"It should be 90,000 marks, more than 18,000 Swedish kronor, more than 30,000 Danish kroner and less than 1,000 Norwegian kroner." Lei Lanting thought for a while and added, "But time was tight just now, maybe I might have confused the amount of money and the currency unit, so it’s just a rough number.”
Tong Lele took a breath of cold air and was about to speak when suddenly there was a muffled sound above her head, as if something hit the manhole cover. A huge buzzing sound immediately came from above her head. The three of them covered their ears with their hands at the same time, feeling uncomfortable. I was speechless.
