Chapter 268 Connection
Old Yang said coldly: "Just say it, I won't bother you."
It seems that he doesn't want to avoid it.
Zhang Huaian sighed slightly and said to Su Tong:
"On the day we set out, we didn't go together. It wasn't until we entered the mountains and the teams met up that I realized that Master Zhou didn't take you with him."
"well--"
Zhang Huaian sighed and said:
"Sister Alan, I've said before that I'm not interested in treasure itself. I just want to go with you to find treasure. I didn't see you, so I didn't want to go. Anyway, my body hasn't recovered yet, and Master Peng was afraid that I would be a hindrance, so he asked me to go back home."
Su Tong was a little amused and helpless. This person was so straightforward that it was hard for people to deal with him.
"Zhang Huaian, you spent so much effort to collect all the pottery fragments, and you just give up like that? Isn't it a pity?"
"What's so regrettable? The old man doesn't lack money to spend anyway. The money he earns is enough for me to use for the rest of my life. I'm very frugal!"
Zhang Huaian smiled widely and said:
"Luckily I reacted quickly and hadn't locked the door yet. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back even if I didn't want to."
"Lock it? What lock?"
"Oh! Didn't everyone get a copper lock before? There is a huge stone gate there. After entering the stone gate, everyone locked their own lock and kept the key by themselves."
"Why lock it?"
"Mr. Peng said that we should all advance and retreat together. We should all take out the key at the same time to unlock the door, and no one can be left out."
Su Tong's heart sank. This was not about standing together. It was clearly that they didn't want anyone to get out alive.
"Master Zhang, we've met the person and talked to him. It's time to go back!" Old Yang began to order them to leave.
"Ah - it's only been so long? I finally got in here, can't you let me talk for a while?"
Lao Yang didn't say a word, just waved his hand, and then some Qiang people with guns came forward, put a black hood on him, and dragged him away.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Huaian was still shouting:
"Sister Alan! Please wait for me! I will come to see you in a few days!"
Su Tong's mood did not fluctuate much towards Zhang Huaian's appearance, but Zhang Huaian's words made her feel a little uneasy. What exactly did Mr. Peng want these people to do?
Lock the door?
Are you afraid that they will desert the battlefield?
…
Old Yang sent Su Tong back to her room. Before leaving, he said something to her:
"Write down all the medicines and tools you need. In three days, you can treat Professor Wen."
Su Tong was a little surprised. First, they actually agreed to let her treat Wen Ying, and second, they didn't know what she needed!
Can you be ready in three days?
Afterwards, someone really brought paper and pen.
Su Tong did not compromise and wrote down everything he wanted on it, including some medicines and chemical raw materials that are relatively rare in this era.
She also wondered if they could find these things.
After taking away the written materials, Su Tong estimated that no one would look for her in the next three days.
Unexpectedly, she found a piece of paper in the food delivered to her at noon, with two words "Garden" written on it.
Su Tong's intuition was that this should have been sent by Zhou Jin.
There has been no news of him since he infiltrated the Qiang people's group.
While waiting for someone to clean up the dishes, she suggested taking a walk in the "garden", although she couldn't imagine where there could be a garden in this series of caves.
She gestured to the Qiang man for a long time, then took a pen and wrote the word "garden".
The man looked at her and turned away.
About an hour later, a man came. He was the one who led the way when we returned from Wenying last time.
The man didn't say anything, but asked directly:
"Why do you want to go to the 'garden'?"
Su Tong smiled helplessly, "I've been bored for a few days, and I can't stand it anymore."
The man turned and left, leaving behind two words: "Follow me!"
Su Tong hurriedly followed and asked casually:
"What's your name?"
After walking nearly ten meters away, the man replied, "Yang Cheng!"
After following Yang Cheng for a while, I walked out of a small door and the view in front of me suddenly became bright.
There really is a "garden" here. It can be seen that this is just the gap between two peaks. There are tall trees and dense bushes, but it is impossible to have flowers in this season.
There are mountain walls on both sides, and the distance in the middle is about forty to fifty meters wide. As for how far and deep it is, it is unknown.
"Half an hour!"
Yang Cheng said these four words coldly and turned away.
Su Tong looked around and saw some Qiang people appearing in the distance, but no one seemed to be specifically staring at her.
She had been here for several days, living in a depressing environment with oil lamps. When she suddenly saw the green, she couldn't help but walk in, letting her body feel the nature as much as possible.
This is originally a wild environment, but a few paths have been artificially opened up so that people can walk in it without getting stuck.
Su Tong walked casually in the bushes, seemingly without any intention, but his eyes were searching around.
Suddenly, a small stone hit the grass on her left.
She glanced to her left and saw a figure flash by behind the tree.
Su Tong didn't hesitate and followed immediately.
Circling left and right among the bushes, the man's figure always flashed in front.
Until a small door appeared on the cliff ahead, and the man's figure flashed into the small door and disappeared.
Su Tong looked behind him and saw no one following him.
She walked quickly forward and entered the small door.
It was dark inside the door. Before Su Tong had time to adjust to the darkness, he heard Zhou Jin's voice ringing softly from the left:
"Sister, this way."
After her eyes adjusted a little, Su Tong saw Zhou Jinshan, dressed in Qiang costume, waving at her at a corner.
She hurried over and whispered, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I've only been here for a short time and haven't come into contact with any of the most important people."
Zhou Jin looked around and whispered:
"Professor Zhai may be imprisoned in there. I know the general location, but there is no definite news yet. I will try to get there in the next two days. The situation there is strict, and I am afraid that the news will not be able to get out by then."
Then he handed Su Tong a small note, "I'll give this to you first. This is where Lin Jiao is being held. The boss brought in a message before he left. He said he would send someone to meet you."
Zhou Jin looked around and said, "I can't be out for too long, I have to go! Take care of yourself!"
"Got it, you should be careful too!"
After they finished talking, they hurriedly parted ways.
Su Tong turned around, went out of the small door, and entered the "garden" again.
I felt a little impressed that little Zhou Jin could actually take on such a difficult task on his own.
Then I thought about what Zhou Jin said, someone will contact me?
Suddenly I thought of Zhang Huaian's inexplicable visit...
He also said that he would come to see her in a few days.
The person who contacted me, couldn't be... Zhang Huaian?
