It turns out that this is really a mining tunnel, with the exit on the west side. However, after a lot of excavation, the east side has reached the top of the mountain, where it has become a storage room.
Naturally, the workers didn't know about the large amount of smoke in the storage room, and thought it was just used by the enemy to house people.
Under the leadership of Mao Huzi, they quickly found the exit. However, there was someone guarding the place, and Zheng Bajin took action to deal with it.
There is a river in front of the exit, and all the excavated mud and rocks are poured into the river. The river was turbulent and carried away all the mud and rocks.
Zheng Bajin looked at the river surface, which was four or five meters above the ground, and asked strangely: "Where did the mine you dug go?"
Mao Huzi pointed to the river and said: "In a while, a big ship will come, which can hold about two tons of ore. By the way, we only have half an hour now. If we can't escape, the ship will come." Arousing the enemy's suspicion, they had four or five people escorting the goods, and there were also three workers responsible for transporting them."
Zheng Bajin nodded and looked at the high river. There was a cliff at the mountain pass. It was impossible to escape. If he jumped down, he would be submerged by the river.
It took half an hour to bring out the injured people in the tunnel. The question is how to escape from here?
After a slight hesitation, Zheng Bajin said: "Everyone wait here, don't mess around. I will take two people to bring over the injured people inside. When the time comes, I will have a way to take everyone out of the tiger's mouth."
People believed in his words, especially Mao Huzi. Hearing that Zheng Bajin was going to save his brother Xiao Li, he was very happy and asked to take Zheng Bajin with him to save people.
Zheng Bajin nodded, and then ordered two younger people to help him save people.
The two agreed readily. Anyway, they couldn't escape here for a while. On the contrary, it was more dangerous. It was better to follow Zheng Bajin. With his protection, it would be much safer.
With the support of Mao Huzi and others, Zheng Bajin immediately took action and asked the others to sit here and rest. They must not mess up their position. Everything must wait until he comes back.
Zheng Bajin looked at the time and saw that it was already after four o'clock, still early before dawn. He hoped to get back half an hour before, otherwise, he would miss the ship carrying the copper ore. Once exposed and the enemy blocked the exit, it would be difficult to fly.
…
Fortunately, Mao Huzi and the two young men had good physical strength. Under the leadership of Zheng Bajin, they ran all the way and quickly found Xiao Li and the two policemen.
The three people were injured and were coming slowly. On the way, they encountered an enemy whose fingers were tied up by Zheng Bajin.
Fortunately, those people were tied up vitally by Zheng Bajin and had no chance to break free. It was no help when they met Xiao Li and others who were tired and hungry. They had no strength to fight back and were kicked several times by Xiao Li.
The enemies began to beg for mercy, hoping that Xiao Li would let them go.
Of course, Xiao Li was not so stupid, and he had the intention to kill them. If the two policemen hadn't said that they would be handed over to the law, those people would have been doomed and their lives would have been at stake.
The three of them were exhausted and began to wonder if Zheng Bajin would leave them. When they were escaping alone, Zheng Bajin appeared in front of the three of them, bringing three helpers with him. Without any explanation, he carried them on his back and left. .
The three of them were extremely happy, especially Xiao Li, who lay on the back of his eldest brother Mao Huzi. He was so excited that he couldn't speak. It took him a long time to say to Zheng Bajin: "Brother, thank you for saving my eldest brother. Save I don't know how to repay you for your great kindness. Even if I make you a cow or a horse, it's hard to repay you."
"Okay, I like to do good deeds, and I don't want to be repaid by you. The top priority is to take everyone out first. By the way, we have found the exit. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, the enemy will close the door It would be bad if you came to beat the dog." Zheng Bajin said, leading everyone to the west, regardless of the heavy smoke on the top of the mountain to the east.
People couldn't help praising Zheng Bajin for his benevolence and righteousness.
At this time, the workers guarding the exit were waiting anxiously. Zheng Bajin had been away for twenty minutes and had not returned yet, and a lantern appeared on the river. It should be the ship carrying the goods, and it was getting closer and closer.
Someone suggested that everyone hide first, otherwise, if people on the ship see the problem, the problem will be serious.
They all knew that the people holding the boat had guns. If they fired at the exit, no one would be able to escape.
The proposal was responded to by people, who began to hide in the tunnels.
At this time, the ship was getting closer and closer.
The lights on the ship flashed three times, like a secret signal, which the workers naturally did not understand. However, one worker felt strange and hurriedly took out a torch and flashed it three times.
It was really a hit and miss, the other party had no suspicion at all and let the ship quickly move towards the exit.
This is a wooden ship, but it has two diesel engines on it, one for generating power and the other for backup.
A lantern on the boat waved three times.
The workers didn't know what it meant, and were a little confused for a moment. They just thought, why hasn't Zheng Bajin come yet?
By this time, they no longer thought about whether Zheng Bajin was right or wrong to save others. They only resented Zheng Bajin for leaving them alone and not taking them away in time.
The boat quickly stopped under the exit. Seeing no response from above, I became suspicious. Someone raised a bamboo pole to make a ladder and prepared to come up to check.
At this time, people began to panic. They were afraid that the enemy would come up, so they wanted to lift the ladder.
A worker stopped this stupid move and said: "No, if you overturn the enemy's ladder, it will inevitably make people suspect that this place is occupied by us. If we go back and move troops, none of us can escape. It is better to wait for the enemy to come up to check, and we will They killed him and took control of the boat first, and when Zheng Bajin and others arrived, we could escape on the boat together, otherwise, we would have no chance of escaping."
People who have no idea are like a pile of loose sand. When someone puts forward an opinion, they choose to believe it unconditionally. Anyway, they have not fought in a war and have no idea how to deal with such a thing.
"What's going on up there?" The people on the boat didn't rush up the ladder, but shouted towards the exit.
People couldn't help but stare, not knowing how to answer?
The worker just now had some courage and said to the river: "Something happened just now and a worker was injured."
"Throw him into the river to feed the fish, don't waste time." Unexpectedly, the people on the boat directly gave the order to die.
"This..." People looked at each other.
"The man's leg was just flashed. He will be fine after a while. There is no need to do this. Let him rest for a while and he can continue to serve us." The worker was busy explaining just now.
"Then hurry up, put down the goods, and hurry up. They have to be delivered to Sichuan before dawn." The people on the boat could no longer hold their breath.
"Let's put it on now, put it on right away." The worker tried to stall for time.
As he said that, he brought a large basket over and loaded it with some ore. When he was about to hang it down with a rope, Zheng Bajin appeared behind him and said, wait a minute.
