Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 223
...

"What are you doing?"

Another guard (let's call it Guard A) saw his companion looking at the wall over there, so he came over and asked.

"Did you hear anything just now?"

Guard B looked back at him and asked, just now when they were busy lighting the lamps, he heard some movement over there, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Voice? Where?"

Hearing his words, Guard A's face tightened immediately, and he hurriedly asked.

Someone sneaked away just today, everyone was scolded by Lord Leopard. Fortunately, even if they were caught, otherwise it would be more than just training, so now they are like frightened birds whenever there is a little movement Nervous.

"That's right there, when the lantern was put out just now."

Guard B pointed to the place where Li Mu climbed over the wall just now and said.

"Go and have a look, and call me if you need anything."

The gate of the courtyard cannot be separated from people, so only one person can be allowed to go, so the guard B walked over there, looked left and right, found nothing wrong and went back.

"How about it?"

"Maybe I heard it wrong."

"Fortunately, if another one runs away at this time, I'm afraid Master Bao is going to skin us!"

While the two were lucky, Li Mu had already sneaked into the backyard. Compared with the strict guard at the gate, the inside was much more relaxed. Li Mu didn't see anyone patrolling and guarding when he came in.

It's just that Li Mu who came into the backyard frowned slightly, and looked around suspiciously. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

The backyard is not big, there are only two houses, one is obviously the place where these thugs live, it is as high as a two-story building, and the other is a house similar to a bungalow, the door is open, and the lights inside are flickering.

Looking in from Li Mu's angle, he saw a person propping his head on one hand as if he was dozing off.

Seeing this, Li Mu was not in a hurry to go in, but walked along the wall all the way to the shadow behind the house.

"Cuckoo, Cuckoo!"

"Meow~"

Not long after Li Mu imitated the sound of a cuckoo, a meow came from the other side of the courtyard wall. This was the connection signal he had discussed with Wang Laosan before. **Room touches the entrance.

The person inside was really dozing off bit by bit. Li Mu approached quietly on tiptoe, stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck hard, and the person fell down on the table.

Taking off the key hanging on his waist, Li Mu quickly walked down the tunnel. Except for the oil lamps at intervals, there was no other light inside, so it seemed that the brightness in the tunnel was a bit dim, and a cold and damp smell came out. On both sides of the room are the kind of rooms that can only accommodate one person lying down. They are separated by wooden bars, and ordinary people can't even stretch their hands and feet inside.

There are five rooms in a row, a total of ten rooms, illuminated by oil lamps, the front rooms are all empty, the further you go in, Li Mu can smell the musty and urine smell unique to the dungeon.

The mixture of these smells made his stomach twitch and vomit. Perhaps he heard his footsteps, and there was a rustling sound coming from inside. Li Mu followed the sound and saw a woman with disheveled hair, haggard and dirty face. Wearing only a thin undershirt, with his hands on his knees, his head buried in his knees, his body was trembling, and he looked at him in horror.

"Hush! Are you Xiaolan? I'm here to save you!"

When Li Mu appeared in front of the room, the woman moved back and tried to hide herself. When Li Mu revealed her identity, her eyes were full of distrust.

"Don't be afraid, I'm really here to save you!"

Li Mu put the keys in front of her eyes, and the collision between the keys attracted the woman's gaze. Only by the light of the oil lamp did the woman see Li Mu's appearance clearly. It was indeed not those familiar faces, and tears could not help but glisten in her eyes. , but dare not make a movement.

"Little... Sister Lan, it's in the back room."

The woman looked at Li Mu timidly, pointed her finger to the inside of the tunnel, and said tremblingly, Li Mu looked in the direction she pointed, and there were four rooms inside that were extremely dim because there were no oil lamps.

"Wait for me, I'll go and have a look."

After unlocking the lock, Li Mu said to the woman, although he suppressed his voice just now, he should still be able to hear it from the next door in this environment, but there was no response, which made him feel bad.

Walking all the way to the innermost room, Li Mu's eyes froze. The person inside was lying there bent over, with disheveled hair covering his face, making it impossible to see his appearance. There were already some purple scars underneath, blood stains on the inner clothes, if it wasn't for the heaving chest, Li Mu would have suspected that she was dead.

Quickly opened the lock and went in to test her breath. After checking the injuries on her body, Li Mu's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of anger.

Xiaolan was already so angry that her life was hanging by a thread, these people didn't care about her life at all, they didn't even give her medicine after the beating, just threw it inside.

Maybe it's because they think that Xiaolan is too old to be of any use, and because she always tries to escape, these people have already given up on her.

Because Xiaolan's condition was too bad, Li Mu quickly picked her up, checked the other rooms to make sure there was no one there, and then returned to the room just now. The woman inside was still leaning against the corner, and did not run out just because Li Mu opened the door.

"Come out, I'll send you out, Xiaolan needs to be treated quickly."

Li Mu carried Xiaolan on his back, while reaching out to greet the woman, seeing him like this, the woman hesitated for a moment, afraid of the consequences of being caught after fleeing.

But in the end, the desire to survive overcame the fear, and he stood up while leaning on the wall, and followed behind Li Mu anxiously.

Walking out of the tunnel, the woman subconsciously wanted to hide when she saw the guard lying on the table, but was grabbed by Li Mu.

"Don't be afraid, he was knocked out by me, follow me, be quiet."

After being comforted by Li Mu, the woman calmed down her fear, followed Li Mu out of the bungalow, and came to the place where she met Wang Laosan before.

"Come on, step on me!"

Leaning Xiaolan gently against the wall, Li Mu squatted on the ground and motioned for the woman to step on his shoulders to the wall.

Because she hadn't eaten for a long time and didn't have enough strength, it took a lot of time to send her up to the wall, and how to send Xiaolan up next was a bit tricky.

Xiaolan has lost consciousness at this time, and her whole body is lifeless. If she wants to send her up, it is impossible to rely on the woman above.

"Third brother! You catch her and come up!"

Li Mu had no choice but to climb up to the top of the wall and talk to Wang Laosan below. With the help of the third child, the woman came down from the wall smoothly. It took a lot of effort before and after to send her up.

But at this time, Li Mu moved his ears and heard footsteps coming from behind him, so he was startled and hurried to speed up.

"Send her out first, then find a doctor to look at her wounds, be careful!"

It may be that the people who came to change shifts noticed the abnormality of the guards, and the back suddenly became chaotic. Hearing more and more footsteps, Li Mu hurriedly ordered Wang Laosan to go back.

"There's someone there! Catch him!"
