it's dark!
The originally poorly lit stronghold became pitch black, making it difficult to see even one's fingers.
There was no electric light, so the two men packed up their equipment in the dark and prepared for the final escape.
The heavy blood filled the air, making the turrets with heavy moisture look particularly gloomy. Occasionally, the wind blew in along the muzzle of the gun, making bursts of sounds like ghost laughter.
In the darkness, Tian Xue was frightened.
Although she said she was not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, she was still a girl and grew up in a feudal family, so she naturally had an inexplicable fear of ghosts and gods.
Therefore, she was just pretending to be calm now, and her trembling body fully reflected her fear at the moment.
Because Xu San had practiced Qi Jue, his eyesight was very good in low-light environments. Looking at the trembling body in the impression, he reached out and grabbed Tian Xue's little hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" "
"Who is afraid!"
Tian Xue took out her hand and said calmly.
"Just say it if you're afraid. We're all a family, there's nothing to be shy about."
"Who is with your family!" Tian Xue continued to be harsh, but at this moment, his heart was still sweet, with an indescribable sense of happiness.
After installing a few grenades and finding a 38-meter cover, Tian Xue stood up and said, "Let's go, where should we go now?"
"Let's talk after we go out."
Xu San took a step forward, took Tian Xue's hand, and led him away from the stronghold in the dark.
Standing on the small playground of the stronghold, I looked up at the dark night sky.
There were no stars, just a faint moon halo hidden deep in the clouds.
"Huh~~"
Seeing that there were no stars to guide the direction, Xu San sighed softly and said, "I have to hurry up. If the last bit of the moon penetrates into the clouds later, we may not be able to get out of this mountain forest."
Tian Xue also looked up at the sky, "Is it cloudy?"
According to the moonlight, Xu San confirmed the direction and said, "There is still a moon halo, it doesn't look like dark clouds. Let's go. We need to find a road or railway first. If we can't find it, we have to find a village to stay. This season is full of wild beasts. It's very dangerous to be in the depths of such a dense forest when you're fat."
.
The desolate scene in the countryside under the dark night makes people feel lonely and helpless.
It was pitch black, and the trees on the side of the street were completely swallowed up by the night. Only the windows of private houses gave off a hazy yellow light.
The streets were lined with deserted farmland and it was completely silent, with only the rustle of the night wind and the occasional howl of wolves heard.
The Lin's shop is desolate and full of deathly silence, exuding a cold atmosphere everywhere, as if telling the unwillingness of the massacred villagers, making people shudder.
Under the dark night, this place is no longer the ordinary and peaceful little village.
Under the atrocities of the Japanese, he had already lost his vitality and turned into a lifeless deserted village.
In the center of the village, there is a slightly larger private house with flickering candlelight. Tian Zhong, the Tian family's head butler, is walking around the house to relieve his inner anxiety.
Tian Zhong was in a group of four this time. In addition to himself, there were Zhao Yi, translator Qin Rong and the driver.
And, of course, there's the ransom.
The Tian family were the first group of wealthy businessmen to know that the train had been robbed, and they were also one of the first group of wealthy businessmen to come to Lin's shop.
But he was not the first group of people to complete the transaction.
Until it was already dark, he had not seen his eldest daughter.
Watching other families completing their transactions one by one and taking away their own relatives, he was already feeling anxious and uneasy.
After walking around for a few times, the door curtain was lifted.
Zhao Yi and translator Qin Rong walked into the room one after another.
Seeing the two of them, Tian Zhong hurriedly walked up and asked, "Master Ciao, how is it? What did those eighth masters say?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "They said to wait."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi lowered his head. He and translator Qin Rong had gone there several times, and every time they heard perfunctory words like "wait a little longer."
As a confidant of the Tian family, Tian Zhong naturally knew that the Tian family had been secretly supporting the Eighth Route Army.
Coupled with his many years of experience in dealing with people as a housekeeper, he could naturally tell that the Eighth Route Army soldiers they were dealing with were fake.
But regardless of whether these rumors are true or false, it is true that my young lady's life and death are unknown now.
Tian Zhong can be a great housekeeper, so he has naturally lived in the Tian family since he was a child. His affection for Tian Xue is no more than his own daughter.
But now, facing Tian Xue's crisis, he is powerless.
After walking around the room twice again, he finally couldn't help but yelled: "Wait! Wait! Everyone who came with us is gone! I think we are the only ones who are still here. What's going on? , and didn’t even say a word. This really makes someone anxious to death.”
"Steward Tian, please don't worry. When I came here, I heard Mr. Tian say that the lady is fine, and she even called her home."
"But why can't I see Miss until now?" Tian Zhong continued to roar.
Qin Rong was speechless and Zhao Yi was speechless. Although the two ran away many times, they still didn't know the specific situation.
Once again the room fell silent.
After a long time, Zhao Yi said, "How about I run over again and ask."
"Hey~" Tian Zhong sighed and said, "Then there are Master Laobiao and Mr. Qin."
While talking, the door was opened again, and Wang Zhenzhen and the fake Kong Jie walked in together.
Wang Zhenzhen had met several people. Wang Zhenzhen, who was one of the guests at Ji Wushuang's engagement party, was naturally familiar with many people.
"Miss Wang." Zhao Yi walked up first, "You came early, you should have seen Tian Xue, right?"
Wang Zhenzhen shook her head gently and said, "I didn't see Sister Xue'er. She was not at Lin's Shop. I heard fake Lieutenant Ding Lei say that she is a special person and someone who needs special care."
Tian Zhong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and a chill flowed down his heels to the top of his head. Immediately, he felt the stars twinkling in front of his eyes, his body swayed, and he fell to the side.
The Tian family is not afraid of spending money, but what they are afraid of is that their Tian family's affair will be exposed.
If it is really exposed, it will not be Tian Xue's problem alone, it will be a problem of hundreds of people's lives.
Tian Zhong did not fall to the ground, but was helped by Qin Rong, who had quick hands and quick eyes.
After helping Tian Zhong sit down on a chair, Qin Rong tied his back for a few times. After seeing that Tian Zhong's breathing was stable, he said, "Steward Tian, please sit down for a while. Look at the wife." Isn't Jun here? I think there should be results this time."
Tian Zhong took a few breaths, stood up, cupped his hands towards the fake Ding Lei and Wang Zhenzhen, and said, "I was rude just now and made you laugh."
Fake Ding Lei nodded and said, "I'm sorry about Miss Tian." As he said that, he pretended to nod slightly to express his apology.
After finishing speaking, he pretended to say, "Miss Tian is very good now. We have not treated her badly, and we have arranged for her to be with her boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Tian Zhong asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it is precisely because Miss Tian's boyfriend is Japanese that she receives special care." Fake Ding Lei explained, "We need to investigate the specific identity of her boyfriend before we can decide whether to release her."
"Ah!?" Zhao Yi was the first to wonder. Tian Xue knew that she had always hated Japanese people and would never find a Japanese boyfriend no matter what. (End of chapter)
