Escape from the desert

Old Han San’s old cellar was in the woods in the backyard. Because it was far away from the house and relatively small, a new cellar was dug near the house.

The old cellar has not been used for several years. Because it has not been repaired and maintained, many places inside have collapsed and muddy, and there is even an unpleasant smell, which makes people sick just by being close to it.

Linxi found the entrance to the cellar, and opened the muddy wooden door of the cellar with bare hands, revealing the entrance to a narrow, dark street.

"Little Douzi, Erbi, are you in there?"

Lin Xi and the others yelled towards the entrance of the cave. There was no echo from the dim entrance, and the narrow opening could only accommodate an adult to enter. Lin Xi was stronger than the average person, so Lin Bei could only let Lin Bei go down.

As soon as Lin Bei was smeared, the wooden ladder that had been in disrepair creaked, as if it would break in a second. Lin Xi immediately put down the lantern, and the faint yellow light suddenly illuminated the entire small space.

Lin Bei saw Erbi tied up in the corner and still unconscious at a glance.

He was tied with rough hemp rope, his mouth was also stuffed with rags, and the bright red and festive new clothes on his body were also messed up with ravaged folds.

The small cellar smelled stinky, and there was muddy and dark water on the ground. Lin Bei didn't care about the harsh environment, and hurried to the corner with the dim and flickering lights.

Lin Bei carried him out, and when he was outside, under the bright lights, several people could clearly see the traces on Erbi's face. Apart from the dirt, there were also several obvious bruises.

"Where's Xiaodouzi? He's not in there?" Lin Xi saw that there was only Erbi alone, kneeling on the ground on one knee, leaning half of his body into the cellar, with the lantern in his hand shaking, but Xiaodouzi could not be found.

"Little Douzi is not in there, I searched all over!"

"Xiaodouzi must have been taken away by them. He is not here. Let's go back and ask them again."

**
And in a dilapidated thatched hut not far from the old man's family, a man with a scruffy beard and a messy body and a skinny bamboo man with a rat head were chatting with each other.

"Brother Qiangzi, let's... why don't we let him go? I saw Jiang Sanzhu was arrested at the old man's house just now. If this supplies us, he is Aunt Jiang's own brother, so there must be nothing wrong with us. He has no relatives or reasons with Aunt Jiang, we are about to be caught, and we might be sent to prison!"

The skinny man with the deer head and mouse eyes was in a panic. He looked at the three old men's houses not far away with bright lights and candles.

"Shut up, you old six! You've done everything this way, and you're afraid of being discovered!"

"If we don't send the child to the gambling house in the town tomorrow morning, our little lives will still be over. Jiang Sanzhu is timid. If he really confesses us, he will press this little kid directly to Aunt Jiang for it." money!"

Violence flashed in the eyes of the Mediterranean named Qiangzi, he spat on the ground with a "pooh", his fierce face looked even more frightening in the dark environment!
damn it!If it weren't for Jiang Sanzhu, a bastard who insisted on taking his son back, they wouldn't have been entangled for so long, and they wouldn't be still in Linjiacun now!

Qiangzi got up and walked to the corner, his ferocious face became more and more fierce, he looked at the little red spot in the haystack in the corner, and kicked him mercilessly, if Aunt Jiang really came to find him, he would still take the money and ransom Aren't they all money!
The little bean in the corner huddled tightly into a ball, and his small body was kicked out of place, but he could only whimper and frown in a coma.

This thatched hut was built by the villagers to guard the mountain fields. It is not very big. An old small square table occupies most of the space, and the two grown men are even more cramped inside.

But here, Jiang Yan learned that only Erbi and one person were found, and mercilessly gave Jiang Sanzhu another knife. While screaming in pain, he also confessed to the remaining two people.

After getting the address, Lin Xi led the people to the broken hut in the woods.

Qiangzi and Lao Liu are still discussing how to divide the money. As the mastermind, Qiangzi naturally wants to share the big money. Although Lao Liu has a small burden, he has a quick mind. He is doing the same thing as Qiangzi, even more than Qiangzi. There are still many sons, so why should Qiangzi take the lead!
"How dare you still want to share the big head? Now that we've already startled the snake, Jiang Sanzhu may confess us. According to how much Aunt Jiang loves her little grandson, we may not be able to leave Linjiacun safely tomorrow."

The old six rolled his eyes. He is not stupid, so he can naturally think of this level, "Then... what should we do? Let... Shall we return the child? I have heard that Aunt Jiang is anxious My own brothers all raised their knives to chop."

Qiangzi sneered, a flash of cold viciousness flashed across his calculating eyes, and he said in a hoarse and deep voice, "Let's go, let's change places, maybe Jiang Sanzhu has confessed to us, take the child, and go directly to Aunt Jiang Ask for money!"

"This..." Lao Liu looked hesitantly at the crimson mass in the corner.

"At this point, it's too late even if you want to retreat. You can simply ask Aunt Jiang for a big sum. Once we get the money, we will leave Liujia Village. When the time comes, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide. We brothers will still be happy and happy!"

Qiangzi laughed wildly, and the sixth son, strong and strong, also understood the matter. Now they can only bite the bullet. The two picked up the unconscious little beans on the ground, and left the thatched cottage in the dark.

When Lin Xi came with people, there was no one in the cottage, and in the silence, Lin Xi and Lin Bei's eyes were red.

"Search! Search from house to house! They must not have left Lin's Village. The mountain road is slippery at night, and there are many beasts and insects in the mountain. It is even more impossible for them to go up the mountain. You go to the village head and search for all the empty houses in the village that are not inhabited. !"

Seeing that Lin Xi and the others came back empty-handed, Jiang Yan was also very anxious. Before she could settle accounts with Jiang Sanzhu and Fang Xiuhua, Xiao Shanzi who stayed at home hurried over,
"Ma'am! Ma'am! Xiaodouzi was found! Someone brought Xiaodouzi to our house and said that he would return Xiaodouzi only if Madam gave him money!"

The turning point came suddenly, Jiang Yan thought for a while, and immediately understood the reason. Was the village guard team just patrolling the village, and there were people guarding the exits? It popped out by itself.

Jiang Yan had Jiang Sanzhu and Fang Xiuhua tied up, and even Old Han San, the owner of the thatched cottage, was tied up and taken to the new house.

The villagers who helped to find someone also went to the Lin's house together, and a mighty group of people soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
