Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1831 Escape underground
Aman walked into the thatched hut warily. It was a mess and there was nothing inside. There was still heat on the pit, indicating that they had just left not long ago.

But where did they go?Mr. Ma was quite smart and listened to my instructions when I left. Otherwise, they would have been killed in one fell swoop.

When I was thinking about where they were going to meet, Aman called me at the door, then pointed to the snow on the ground and said, "Look!"

I took a look, and there was an arrow drawn on the snow, thinking that in the village, those people probably left in a hurry and didn't notice it.

I wondered: "They have all entered the village. The village is only such a big place. How can they hide? How can we find them?"

But Aman said firmly: "No matter what, I have to go in and find them! I can't let the palace master suffer anymore!"

I nodded and said, "I know! Let's go and have a look!"

Just when we were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, we suddenly saw that the entrance to the mine where we were going to go first had some drag marks on it. Although it was covered by snow, some traces could still be seen vaguely.

I pulled Aman and walked towards the cave entrance.

Looking at the dark hole, they took a few steps inside, but there was no oxygen at all. If they took a few more steps, they might suffocate. How could they stay down there for so long?

The further down I went, the more panicked I became, for fear that I would see several people lying on the ground, motionless and not breathing.

Finally, Aman, who was walking in front, saw two people lying on the ground. Aman hurriedly squatted down to check, and suddenly two people rushed out from beside him. One of them was holding a pickaxe, and they were about to greet Aman.

I hurriedly shouted: "One of our own, stop it!"

Mr. Ma then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here? We are almost suffocated!"

I hummed and said, "If you go a little further inside, you will really be suffocated to death! There is no oxygen in there!"

Mr. Ma sighed and said, "No wonder! I just said, the more you go inside, the more you feel that you don't have enough energy!"

Lao Liu said anxiously: "Stop talking here, and find a way to leave! If I hadn't gone for a walk outside, we would have been discovered!"

I groaned and said, "I thought you listened to my advice!"

Mr. Ma snorted and said, "How could I possibly know that you really have foresight!"

Then, the two of us carried a stretcher made of bed boards and went outside.

Just when we passed the thatched cottage, we heard gunshots from the direction of the village, which made me worried about Dr. Wang and the Dasheng couple. But at this time, even if we went back, we couldn't help anything. The only thing we could do was to hurry up. Notify the relevant departments that there is a danger here. There is a group of desperadoes that will endanger the lives and property of the entire town.

When he arrived at the mine and looked at the brightly lit passage, Mr. Ma was surprised and said, "This is the passage drawn on the drawing? It looks good! Is it safe?"

While checking the railcars parked next to me, I replied, "I don't know, go down and see for yourself first!"

Mr. Ma shook his head and said, "I'm most afraid of riding roller coasters. I have a heart disease!"

I found two cars with control boxes, first put Xiao Hei in one car, then put Nan Gong in the other car, and arranged: "Aman, Lao Liu, you and Nan Gong are in the same car. The old horse and I share a car; the one below is the brake handle, the switch of the control box may not work well if the speed is too fast, so just pull the handbrake, pull it slowly, and don’t pull it all the way at once, or the car will overturn, understand? It doesn’t matter if you don’t need a switch when you go down, but I guess it won’t necessarily work!”

Mr. Ma saw that we were all sitting in the car, and he was the only one standing outside, hesitating whether to get in the car or not.

I ignored him and said to Aman: "Press the start switch and see if it works?"

Aman pressed it and the car started. There was no need to push the car, and the car was already moving down by itself.

I also pressed the switch, and the car started to start. Mr. Ma saw the car moving and knew that if he didn't get on the car, we would leave. He got on the car angrily and said: "It's really unlucky to follow you, it's like risking your life. Is this car safe?”

I suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pressed the brake again. It didn't work. The car had already started to slide down. I jumped out of the car and said, "You guys get off first and wait for me in the gentle place below!"

This made Mr. Ma very anxious and said, "Why don't you come up? What are you doing down there? Don't throw me into the car alone, I can't control it!"

I said impatiently: "You don't need to control it, it will slide down by itself!"

Then, I ignored him and looked at the remaining cars. I pulled out all the wires first and thought it still wouldn't work. Even if they didn't rely on electricity, they could still slide down. Then I thought again. Thinking about it, I found a crowbar, pinned the chains of the remaining cars, smashed them all with the head, and then the last car slid down.

When we arrived at the place where we stayed last time, two of their cars were waiting for me. Mr. Ma said with sweat on his head: "This is too scary. Let's go next?"

I looked at the map in my hand and said, "We should just follow this track and we can reach the town! I just don't know where this track leads to?"

Oman pulled the brake handle and clicked the start switch. The car didn't go downhill as fast as before, but it could still move forward slowly.

Mr. Ma also followed suit. When the car started again, Mr. Ma shouted: "Get in my car, don't drive your own car!"

I shook my head and said, "I can't leave a car for them to chase us! You go first!"

But I clicked the start switch for a long time, and my car did not move and broke down.

I had no choice but to chase Mr. Ma's car again, but luckily the speed was not fast.

Mr. Ma sneered: "Do you think you are a bitch?"

After the car walked for a while, the lights in front of it disappeared and became darker and darker, but the speed of the car became faster. I could feel that it was going downhill again.
The invisible unknown is often the scariest thing. Mr. Ma began to become restless again, wondering if there would be an abyss ahead?Will there be no oxygen?Will it hit the wall, etc.?

I didn't even want to comfort him, but just threatened him: "You should save some strength, you might fall down and have to climb up!" Soon the speed of the car became faster and faster, and the slope became older and older. As it got steeper, I hurriedly pulled on the brakes, and sparks flew everywhere. The brake pads had been worn almost all the time, and thanks to the resistance of the steel rims, I could feel the place where my butt sat getting heated.

The most terrible thing is not these, because we can't see anything in front of us. Even if we have headlights, we can't see the car in front of Oman. I am most afraid that our two cars will collide. At the current speed, we can't Knock us out directly!
Coupled with the bumps on the rails, the car had no shock-absorbing device at all. The car began to sway from side to side, and we would be knocked out in minutes.

Sure enough, there was a strong crash, and I threw myself forward. I bumped into Mr. Ma, and I was pushed out with Mr. Ma in his arms. Mr. Ma was below and hit the ground first. You could clearly hear his head hitting the ground. the sound of.

Mr. Ma cried and howled: "It hurts me so much. Get up quickly, it's crushing me to death!"

Hearing his angry voice, I felt relieved and moved my hands and feet. Except for the slight pain when my elbow hit the ground, I felt nothing in other parts. Then I stood up with support, and then gave him a hand. Let him get up too.

My headlight was knocked out and I couldn't see what was going on in front of me, but I knew that the car stopped, which meant that Aman's car also stopped. It was probably our car that hit their car. Where were they?
I shouted: "Aman...Sixth Master..."

Then a faint voice came from the ground not far away: "We are here!"

I groped for the headlight, otherwise I couldn't see anything, but I touched Mr. Ma who had bumped into me. I kicked him and said, "Go and see, how is Xiao Hei in the car?"

Mr. Ma was nagging: "My head is buzzing, I wonder if I have a concussion!"

I finally touched the headlight on the ground. The front lampshade was cracked. Fortunately, the light was not broken. I turned on the light and looked forward. Only then did I see that Aman and Lao Liu's car had been hit by our car and fell into a big hole. In the car, the car tilted and got stuck in the center of the pit. The two of them were probably knocked out of the car and flew into a large pit next to them, with a thick wooden stake pressing down on them.

I ran over in a hurry, trying to move the stake, but it turned out that the stake was too heavy, and I spent a lot of effort, but I didn't move a bit.

I called Mr. Ma, who ran over to take a look. He and I couldn’t move the wooden pile. Mr. Ma muttered: "How did you get stuck by the wooden pile? This wooden pile fell from the sky! This How to do it?"

I said impatiently: "Shut up and think of a solution!"

Mr. Ma curled his lips and said: "What method is needed? The principle of leverage! Just find a wooden stick and a fulcrum!"

I thought it made sense, so I hurriedly searched around, and finally found an iron rod, placed a wooden board on it, tilted one end of the stake, and the other end, Ma and I pressed down hard. Don't tell me, it really worked. A small gap was opened, Aman got out first, and then pulled out Lao Liu.

I asked the two of them: "You are not injured, are you?"

Lao Liu said with lingering fear: "Thanks to Aman. When he flew out, he pushed me and the wooden stake fell on him. Otherwise, I would have been hit directly on the head by the wooden stake!"

Aman explained: "When our car came down, it hit this wooden pile. We flew over and fell into the pit. When your car came down, it just hit our car and pushed the wooden pile and crushed us. under."

I exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"

Aman took a look at Nangong in the car, but luckily she didn't fly out.

We had to walk the rest of the way on our own, as the car could no longer move forward.

I had no choice but to lift both stretchers down and walk forward along the railway track.

After walking for almost an hour, Mr. Ma couldn't lift them anymore. He stopped me and said, "Put it down. Put it down first! I really can't lift it anymore. I'm struggling to carry them. I really can't do it anymore. Let's take a rest." Let’s go! Otherwise, whichever of you is strong can go first, and we’ll wait here until you call someone to rescue us!”

I snorted and said, "How dare you wait here? Wait for them to catch up? We are walking with two people, and they are much faster than us!"

Mr. Ma asked doubtfully: "Didn't you destroy all the cars? How can they chase after them? You can't walk so fast, right? We came down on a roller coaster!"

I curled my lips and said: "Who can say for sure? What if they have a way to repair those cars! Now they know, we know their plan, why don't they chase us desperately? Once we ruin their plan to make a fortune, they We have no choice but to sneak across empty-handed. If they don’t chase us to death! If you dare to wait here, just wait and let’s go!”

Mr. Ma hurriedly said: "Who said I have to wait here? I just want to take a rest. Now that I have rested, let's go now. Don't waste a moment!"

Finally, after walking for nearly half an hour, we saw a glimmer of light ahead. According to the itinerary, we were indeed where we should be.

Sure enough, when we walked to the light, we heard the sound of cars above our heads. Unfortunately, the light was a gap in the sewer ditch cover, not an exit. Moreover, the cover was at least 2 meters above the ground, so we couldn't reach it at all. There is nothing to rest your feet on.

The physical strength of the four people has also reached the limit. Although Xiao Hei and Nangong are very light, walking so far with the stretcher is still too exhausted.

But there was no way to go out now, so we could only keep walking forward. Seeing the light and hearing the sound of cars gave us hope.

After walking for a while, this time, let alone Mr. Ma, Lao Liu couldn't walk either. The two of them lay directly on the ground, motionless.

I knew there was no way to go on like this, so I said to Aman: "I'll go ahead and see if there is any exit, you should take a rest first!"

Aman took the initiative and said: "I'd better go, I'm okay!"

I waved my hand and said, "I've memorized the blueprints. You don't know how to go. If you don't go the right way, you'll get lost easily! You wait here for me, remember to listen to the movement behind, I'm afraid they will catch up!"

Aman nodded obediently.

I walked forward for a while, and the light in the gap above my head disappeared. This made me a little disappointed, but I still had to move forward.

My feet have already begun to lose control, and my legs are numb, but I know I can’t sit down, and when I sit down, I don’t want to get up. I gritted my teeth and wanted to go forward, but there was a wall in front of me, blocking my way. There’s really no need to leave now.I clearly remember Dr. Wang saying that if you keep going forward, there must be an exit?
I looked carefully with my headlight and saw that this was not a wall, but a door covered with a lot of earth. I found the door!

I knocked vigorously, but there was no movement at all. It was not a wooden door, but an iron door, or a solid iron door.

There is a hidden lock in the middle of the door. It looks like the lock is old and the keyhole is blocked by dirt!
