To this day, Shan'ao is still dominated by bungalows.
Although the bungalow from which the sound came out looked small, it was well-equipped.
Outside the small front yard, there is a fenced vegetable patch. The recently plowed land, watered by the rain at night, emitted bursts of strong earthy smell.
When it rains, Kongshan looks like an ancient well without waves. Any drop of water will cause clearly visible ripples.
The male voice that sounded in the room was just like this, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the outside team.
Was there some conflict?
This is what some people who don’t understand the situation think.
However, the few people who knew the situation looked a little solemn now. They held the guy tightly, climbed over the fence, and moved towards the door of the house silently.
The children of this family went to the city to work hard, and now only a grandfather and grandson live there. And when I and others heard these words, it was absolutely impossible for them to come from any of their mouths.
In the team, when they saw someone taking action, the rest of the people followed suit. But when there were more people, there was also a lot of noise. As if they noticed something, a shout instantly sounded in the room.
"who?!"
At this point, the leaders of the team had no choice but to give up hiding. They stretched out their hands to push the door open and glanced inside openly, trying to figure out what was going on.
A trembling flame came into view.
Beside the candlestick, an old man stood. He is haggard, has gray hair, and is dressed in the ordinary attire of an old country farmer. At this time, he was staring at the opposite side, with a sense of sadness and anger in his eyes for no reason.
Opposite is a young man.
"It's indeed him!"
Zhang Chaoxian finally confirmed his suspicion.
The man in front of me was the man with earrings who wanted to play poker but was rejected by the farmhouse and left.
This group of young people originally left together, why was he the only one left now?
Not only Zhang Chaoxian, but other farmhouse staff present also recognized the earring man. They had unkind expressions on their faces, and filed in one after another, with a strong tendency to rush forward and deal a blow to them.
But as a childish cry of pain rang out, all restless movements were forced to stop.
At the door where no one could see clearly, the man with earrings seemed to be holding something in his right hand. With a strong tug, a petite figure immediately came into the candlelight.
"You bastard!"
The old man from the farmhouse has always been a stickler for words. If you deserve to be scolded, do so on the spot and never wait until the next day.
Recent contact has always made him feel that the other person is bad, at least as a person. But from now on, the old man rejected all impressions of himself in the past and directly labeled this young man from outside as inferior to a pig or a dog.
What he is holding in his hand now is just a girl under ten years old! This rotten man actually used a little girl as a bargaining chip to achieve his own goals.
"Please, let Tongtong go!"
Looking at his shivering granddaughter, the old man lowered his head of white hair and murmured a plea: "I am willing to take you up the mountain...I am willing to take you up the mountain...so please, please keep Tongtong..."
"She has a weak body and cannot bear this kind of wind and cold..."
"I don't care about you!"
The man with earrings immediately interrupted, with a certain kind of fear on his face that made his actions even more inhumane: "What if you, old man, deliberately lead the wrong way? I said, if you want to survive, I have to Take this girl with you!"
A few hours after leaving the farmhouse, what happened to the earring man has become a nightmare that will linger in his life.
The strange screams in the dark night, the broken bodies of countless animals, the dwindling number of companions... until he was finally alone and taken in by this family, he suddenly understood that the only way to survive was to escape from the mountains.
"Don't move!"
The man with earrings suddenly looked ferocious and scolded him sternly.
He showed a fragment of a wine bottle and placed it in front of the girl's plain neck like a demonstration. Without hesitation, he made a bright red wound, which immediately shocked the old man and others who wanted to come forward by the door.
"I said that!"
"Take me up the mountain immediately!"
Stimulated by new factors from the outside world, the uneasy emotions in the subconscious mind cause trouble, and the reason is overwhelmingly occupied by fear. The man with the earrings subconsciously shrank toward the corner, but his expression was almost crazy.
"Don't take me up the mountain...don't take me up the mountain..."
"I'll kill this girl first!"
He squatted in the corner and pressed the shard of the bottle against the little girl's plain neck.
"No!" The old man looked sad.
With a plop, he landed on his knees and knelt down straight: "Young man, I beg you, please let my Tongtong go..."
"Brother, what are you doing..." The old man stepped forward quickly and tried to help the old man up, but no matter how hard he tried, the old man's knees seemed to have roots on the ground and did not move at all.
"Young man, if you have something to say, please tell me."
Someone spoke softly and persuaded: "Put down your things and let's have a good talk. You know, our goals are the same now. There is no need to delay your future just because of this."
"future?"
The man with earrings suddenly sneered: "As long as I can escape, what does my future mean? What's more, do you really think you can escape alive? As long as you are all dead, everything that happens tonight will only be mine. Has the final say?"
"Please...please..."
The old man was still kneeling on the ground, his expression gradually changing from sadness to numbness. He seemed to have made some kind of determination and leaned down without hesitation, his voice containing despair that seemed to have turned into reality.
"I kowtow to you..."
"grandfather!"
Snapped!
The little girl shed tears, but the man with earrings slapped her in the face, and yelled: "Cry...cry your *cries! Do you want to attract that monster..."
Zhang Chaoxian clenched his fist tightly.
If the situation allowed, he very much hoped that he would be able to step forward and beat this beast to death.
But reason told him that he couldn't say anything casually, and it was even better not to let the other party see his face.
There are still old grievances between the two, and if they can't protect each other, they will shift their targets to their wives and children. At that time, if he makes a request for a hostage exchange, and the target is one of his wife and children, what should he do? What will others do?
In reality, who doesn’t want to be a hero for once?
However, many people will give up this expensive price for the people around them who value them. So from beginning to end, the hero is alone.
Zhang Chaoxian sighed.
Now he really hopes that tonight is just a heroic movie that his son loves. All tragedies will be peaceful, all difficulties will be resolved one by one, and all villains will be punished...
boom!
The sound of brick walls breaking suddenly sounded!
Everyone present woke up from their confusion and followed the sound.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and a bony palm actually punched in alive. Its five fingers closed together like iron pliers, instantly clasping the ear-stud man's hand holding the wine bottle fragment.
Click!
The entire palm of the man with earrings was instantly shattered!
"ah--!"
He looked frightened, not only because of the severe pain in his palms, but also because of the familiar whisper coming from the other side of the wall.
"Mr. Gao has always told me that with some naughty guys, I can often be patient and wait for them to find their mistakes and then correct them."
"Originally, this was supposed to be your last chance."
Descartes' palm gently moved upward and came to the throat of the man with earrings.
His intriguing rich voice sounded through the wall: "But, I thought about it again..."
"If Mr. Gao were here, I would never give you this chance again."
"Then, please allow me to overstep once."
The situation of interrupted updates will never happen again, never again...
Thanks to "Ye Yin Ling Feng" and "Stingy and evil person" for the reward
