Chapter 20 Anklet
The two of them climbed out of the cave one after the other, and Gu Changxiao reached out and used some wheat straw to cover the cave.
Even if they could only deceive the bandits for half a quarter of an hour, while they were searching the woodshed, it would give the two men time to escape.
The rain was still falling and there were bandits holding torches everywhere, but Gu Changxiao seemed to be very familiar with the escape route.
Holding the chain, he said, "Follow me closely," and walked in one direction.
Jin Sui hurriedly said, “We must take my grandfather and brother with us, otherwise they will definitely be killed by the bandits if we escape.”
Gu Changxiao turned a deaf ear and continued to walk with his back bent. Jin Sui was very anxious and grabbed the chain: "If you don't agree, then kill me now! I would rather die than abandon my grandfather and brother."
Her hands were already clenched. As long as this man really intended to kill her, she would immediately use drugs to knock him out, and then take him to the bandits to collect the reward.
In such troubled times, if people do not work for their own benefit, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
Gu Changxiao sighed slightly when he heard this and looked at her as if she was a fool. Jin Sui could feel that this person must have been in a high position for a long time.
In the past, when he communicated with others, he would just say one word, and others would guess what he meant and then follow his instructions.
But you can't talk to me like that! How long have we known each other? I'm not your subordinate.
"Didn't you realize that the place we are going to is the residence of the big boss?"
Jin Sui was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he had taken Jin An's words to heart. Grandpa Ling and Jin An happened to be at the residence of the eldest master.
He put down the chain somewhat awkwardly and laughed dryly: "It's too dark, I can't tell the direction."
Seeing Gu Changxiao walking silently, she said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Thank you!"
Gu Changxiao snorted coldly: "You are not going to say that I am a good person again, right?
Oh, if the village's secret exit wasn't at the headmaster's residence, I would have killed you and escaped alone."
For some reason, even though he acted cold and fierce when he chained himself up just now, Jin Sui felt that he was not a bad person who would kill people indiscriminately.
She stopped talking and followed Gu Changxiao's footsteps, walking with difficulty in the gravel-covered village.
Just as she was about to reach the boss's residence, she heard a loud gong sound coming from the direction of the woodshed, and many torches gathered towards that direction.
She couldn't help but look back worriedly. Fortunately, it was difficult to leave footprints on the gravel road, and with the rain washing away the dirt, it would take some time for them to track him even if they wanted to.
Gu Changxiao pulled the chain, signaling her not to be distracted:
"Let me make it clear in advance that you must stay with Grandfather and my younger brother even if you would rather die. If the bandits really chase us, I can only escape alone first."
He glanced at Jin Sui's ankle, and Jin Sui took the lead and said:
"Take the three of us along if you can. If we hold you back, I'll chop off your leg myself, without you having to do anything!"
Gu Changxiao raised his eyes slightly in surprise and praised:
"I didn't expect that a little Taoist like you still had some backbone."
Jin Sui's expression was excited, but he had actually already made up his mind. He would go into the space to find something to remove the chains. If he really couldn't do it, he would just knock Gu Changxiao unconscious.
Just consider it as you repaying me for saving your life. If my grandfather and I hadn't saved you in the reed marsh, you would have either drowned in the river or been caught by the officials.
The boss's residence was also brightly lit. Gu Changxiao said that the secret exit from the village was in the cave behind the house, which was guarded by only two bandits.
The most important thing right now is to call out Taoist Priest Ji and the young Taoist Priest quietly.
After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the woodshed. The torches were already coming this way:
"I'll give you a moment. If you can't find them, I'll have no choice but to disregard morality and escape on my own."
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "That's enough, just watch."
After saying that, she put two fingers on her lips and whistled.
This was the secret code she and her grandfather Jin'an had agreed on when they were still in the Qiaohan Mountains, picking fruits and mushrooms, in order to tell each other their location.
The unusual movement in the village tonight is so great that as an old hand like Grandpa Ling, he and Jin'an must have already put on their clothes and waited for news and a chance to escape.
The only difficult thing is Grandpa Ling's feet, and she will have to carry him on her back when the time comes.
Sure enough, after she blew the whistle three times, she heard the door open. After a few dozen breaths, Jin'an appeared in sight, supporting Grandpa Ling.
At this time, Gu Changxiao pulled out a short blade from his waist. Jin Sui was startled and quickly squatted down to cover his feet:
"What are you doing? Maybe my brother can steal the key and open the chain."
Gu Changxiao looked at her with contempt: "The next thing we have to face is the bandits who are watching the secret passage. If I don't do anything, will you do it?"
Jin Sui said awkwardly again: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Master Gu should do it. The three of us, the grandfather and grandson, have never killed anyone and have no experience."
Soon Grandpa Ling and Jin'an arrived. Without waiting for her to explain, Grandpa Ling waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, these bandits will catch up with us soon."
He also took the lead and walked towards the back of the house. Jin Sui asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, how do you know where the secret passage is?"
Grandpa Ling said as he walked: "I heard the big boss told the bandits to guard the road behind the house tightly. I was planning to find an opportunity in the next two days to set a fire and cause chaos, so that we can take the opportunity to escape."
Gu Changxiao's expression was a little solemn. He was probably thinking that he had escaped so many times before finding the secret passage, but this old Taoist discovered it as soon as he arrived.
Jinan asked, "What happened tonight? Many people came from outside the mountain, and the boss was like a lackey in front of them."
Jin Sui glanced at Gu Changxiao and said, "It seems like they are catching a fugitive."
As they were talking, they came to the back of the house. Gu Changxiao asked Grandpa Ling and Jin'an to hide first, and he and Jinsui went to deal with the bandits who were watching the cave.
Jin Sui hurried into the space, took out the handkerchief sprinkled with sleeping pills, and held it in his palm.
She made double preparations: either she and Gu Changxiao would defeat the bandits and escape successfully, or she would knock Gu Changxiao unconscious.
What she didn't expect was that Gu Changxiao handed the anklet to her and held it:
"You are weak, don't move, just follow me closely."
Jin Sui suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. Was he really going to knock this man unconscious and hand him over to the bandits and the police? He would surely die.
As soon as the two entered the cave, the two bandits guarding it rushed over with knives in hand: "Who are you?"
Gu Changxiao snorted coldly: "The one who wants to kill you!"
At the same time, he kicked his hind legs, moving the iron chain to make Jinsui squat on the ground. Jinsui also saw his moves clearly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Changxiao's kung fu was very advanced. He grabbed a bandit's wrist with his left hand, and the knife in the bandit's hand fell instantly.
He turned his body to avoid the other bandit's hand, and at the same time, the short blade in his right hand stabbed fiercely into the bandit's neck.
The short blade stirred for a while before being pulled out, and instantly blood spurted out like a fountain. The bandit fell down with his eyes wide open, his body twitching, and he died in front of Jinsui.
Another bandit took the opportunity to break free, picked up the knife on the ground and took a few steps back. This man was not stupid and he immediately discovered Gu Changxiao's weakness.
That means his feet are chained and he is accompanied by someone, so he cannot move quickly.
His first reaction was to run out and call for reinforcements. Of course, seeing his companions die so tragically, calling for reinforcements was the right thing to do.
Gu Changxiao hurriedly turned around to chase him, but the man ran very fast and was about to rush out of the cave.
Gu Changxiao did something that almost made Jinsui burst into curses. He actually picked up Jinsui like a child and threw him heavily at the man.
At the same time, he pulled the anklet, controlling the force and direction of Jinsui's flying, and knocked the bandit to the ground in time.
Jin Sui regretted very much that he had been soft-hearted towards him before. He should have knocked this guy out earlier and then found a way to take down the bandit!
I treat you as a companion, but you treat me as a weapon!
