The people in the quarry looked over with fierce eyes, but found that there were only 13 people here in total.
"Where's the other person? Where did he go?"
Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent. It wasn't because they were loyal, but because everyone was just trying to escape. Who cared about other people's lives?
"Speak! If you don't, I'll pull out your tongues!"
The people in the quarry shouted loudly, and everyone shuddered at the mention of tongue pulling.
But they really don't know, so what can they say?
Two villagers quickly looked around, hoping to find the right moment to escape, but unexpectedly discovered that a tree was trembling with joy.
There might be someone hiding behind that tree, but should I expose him?
The two people who discovered this secret looked at each other, their eyes were complicated, and both of them fell into deep thought.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, the people in the quarry beat up the people standing in front of them.
Those people were simply a disaster, and they were beaten badly without any provocation.
But they really didn't know, even if they were beaten to death they wouldn't know. They could do nothing but hold their heads and scream in pain.
When the quarrymen got tired of fighting, they realized that they really didn't know, so they adopted another strategy.
"I will release anyone who can provide clues about the other person."
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the people in the quarry want to find the last person in order to kill him and silence him.
Only if that person cannot be found will they have a chance to survive.
As long as the last person is found, they will definitely die.
The villagers, who were already terrified to the extreme, did not think too deeply about it. They only wanted to protect themselves at the moment. As for the life and death of others, it had nothing to do with them.
Some people rack their brains to think hard just to give themselves a chance to survive.
The two people who discovered the truth were very conflicted. They kept looking at each other, trying to guess each other's intentions.
If the other party doesn't say it, then he doesn't have to say it. If the other party says it, it means that the secret is invalid.
Now is the moment that tests human nature, and cold sweats are pouring down the foreheads of the two men due to nervousness.
It was at this time that the people in the quarry discovered that something was wrong with them.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you sweating all the time?"
"Do you know the truth? Tell it now!"
The people at the quarry kicked each of them, and before they could react, they fell heavily to the ground.
The two men gritted their teeth and said nothing. The people in the vegetable market identified their targets and started punching and kicking them.
The two men were beaten black and blue, one of them was vomiting blood, and soon he could not hold on.
The person who was hiding behind the bushes and peeking saw this situation and bit his thumb nervously.
In the current situation, he knew that he could no longer hide in this place and he would soon be exposed.
When the time comes, the people in the quarry will surround him and he will have nowhere to escape, and he will definitely die in the end.
Originally, he wanted to hide here and wait for everyone to leave, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.
He gritted his teeth, bent over and moved slowly. His steps were light and slow. After his careful escape, he finally got away from this damn place.
At this moment, a villager who was beaten half to death could no longer hold back and revealed his whereabouts.
"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him. He's hiding right there. Right there. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"
The people in the quarry followed the direction of his finger and soon saw the boy trying to escape.
The boy found out that his whereabouts had been revealed, so he gritted his teeth and turned and ran.
"Stop, stop right there! If you run again, I'll break your legs!"
The man in the quarry picked up his gun and fired a shot in his direction without hesitation.
The boy rolled on the ground and successfully avoided the other party's gunfire.
"If we don't stop, our marksmanship will be far superior to what it is now! This time I blew up a branch, next time it will be your head!"
The quarry man's threats were merciless, but the boy was not fooled by him. Instead, he turned around and ran faster than before.
The boy gritted his teeth and ran for his life. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to escape from this damn place no matter what.
Don't listen to anything they say, just run away with your eyes closed.
The boy was only in his early eighteen years old. He went up the mountain to help others check the situation in order to earn some pocket money, but he didn't expect that he almost lost his life.
The boy's parents are both deceased, and he has been relying on farming and odd jobs to support himself and his 14-year-old sister.
My sister is young and ignorant, and she has been spoiled by him, so she has no ability to survive independently.
Knowing how vicious these people were, the boy knew that his only chance of survival was to escape.
If he stops now, death will be waiting for him.
He didn't want to die, so he could only run for his life.
The boy's name was Jiang Zhongwen. He had been climbing in the mountains since he was a child and was very familiar with the mountain roads here. In addition, he was young and strong, so he didn't hesitate much. No matter how the other party threatened him, he just closed his eyes and ran forward desperately.
Not only did he run fast, but he also changed direction from time to time to avoid being hit by a shotgun.
With this wave of his operations, he quickly left the people in the quarry aside.
So the two groups of people directly distanced themselves from each other, but the other side had guns and he only had two legs, so Jiang Zhongwen still ran forward desperately.
He ran up the mountain for more than half an hour. Because he ran so fast, he didn't even know where he was.
There are basically no roads in this place, and the surroundings are quiet, so it is relatively safe.
He was still a little worried and continued to run up the mountain.
After running for another ten minutes, I found a place overgrown with weeds that looked like a good hiding place.
Jiang Zhongwen looked around, trying to find a place to hide.
Jiang Li, who was hiding behind the bushes, immediately became alert when she heard footsteps. Through the gap in the bushes, she saw a young boy walking towards her.
Because they were too far away and the face was blocked by many branches, Jiang Li couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
The boy was tall and thin, and he didn't look like someone from the quarry.
However, at this special moment, Jiang Li would not easily trust the other party.
She held a packet of chili powder in her hand, always on the alert for anyone approaching.
Jiang Zhongwen's mind was in a mess and he almost lost the ability to think. He just thought that this bush was more hidden, so he instinctively walked towards it.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he approached the bushes, a person suddenly jumped out from there, and before he could react, he was strangled by the neck.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jiang Li's cold voice sounded in Jiang Zhongwen's ears. Hearing that it was a woman's voice, Jiang Zhongwen was obviously relieved.
