Chapter 108 Looking Back
"Why should I trust you?"
The old man was wearing a holy white coat.
Jiang Cha stood up with the help of the table and managed to stand steadily.
"If I'm correct, five years ago, his head was hit by a heavy object, and ever since then, he's become like a living dead, right?"
"Go on."
"You've treated him, but you can only barely maintain his vital signs. However, if this continues, he will die within a year."
"How old are you? How can you save him?"
The old man sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
"Lock her up for me and don't feed her. After seven days, I will dissect this beautiful body with my own hands."
The white coat that represents an angel becomes a devil's disguise when worn by him.
"Three days at most. You'll come find me!"
Ginger tea was taken away.
The caves are connected to the valleys, and the valleys are connected to the caves, forming a low-lying basin here.
There was also a pool of water, and they set up a water dungeon in the shallow end.
Wooden grids, one grid after another, separate all the people, and you can't see their faces.
Only the lower half of their bodies were in the water, making it impossible to tell who was who.
Will Huo Jingchuan be here?
Jiang Cha was afraid of seeing him here, and even more afraid of not seeing him here.
Ever since she entered the cave, she has been worried and anxious.
"Go down."
Jiang Cha was pushed hard and fell into the water with a splash.
It was so cold that the icy lake water was frozen. On the side where the people were imprisoned, the thick ice was broken, and the clear water soaked through the clothes. Jiang Cha was so cold that he shivered.
The heavy cotton jacket became a burden at this moment. It felt terribly heavy hanging on my body.
Her hands were handcuffed, and it took all her strength just to lift them out of the water.
"Why are you being so rude? I can come down on my own."
Jiang Cha's voice was louder than ever before, and the man on the shore was not polite at all.
"You stinky bitch, shut up!"
Such a beautiful woman, but he hadn't even had the chance to taste her before she was sent to the dungeon. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. Wouldn't he be furious?
With a clang, the door of the ginger tea compartment was locked.
When the door was closed, it became even more dank inside.
She was even more worried. What if Huo Jingchuan was really locked up here for two whole months? How would he be tortured?
Jiang Cha kept banging on the wooden door, seemingly in a panic and disorganized manner.
In fact, only those who understand know that she is using the frequency of knocking on the door to convey secret signals.
"You stinky bitch, if you keep making trouble, I'll fuck you right now."
There was a sound of cursing.
Ginger Tea finally calmed down.
She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the movements around her.
Screams, footsteps, the rustling of the cold wind, the sound of rushing water...
Various sounds intertwined together, and Jiang Cha really heard an abnormal cough.
“Cough cough… cough cough cough cough cough… cough…”
She counted the beats, her heart beating in her throat.
Is it Huo Jingchuan?
He was asking, why did she come here?
He asked her to leave quickly.
But she couldn't leave anymore.
As the night deepened, Jiang Cha was numb from the cold.
She is waiting.
The second hand on the watch spins rapidly.
Finally, the clock stopped at twelve o'clock.
Jiang Cha pulled out a piece of wire from his sleeve and pried open his handcuffs.
She held her breath and crawled out from the bottom of the dungeon.
After getting used to the cold, Jiang Cha actually felt that soaking in the water was warmer than being on the shore.
She opened all the wooden doors of the row of dungeons.
One haggard face after another appeared in front of Jiang Cha.
No, neither.
Those who saw the light of day again were all shocked by Jiang Cha.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
A delicate-looking little girl suddenly appeared in front of them, to... save them?
"I'm here to get you out."
"you?"
Even after all the people in the dungeon were released, no guards came.
"What did you do to them?"
"Don't worry, those people won't wake up for a while."
Jiang Cha did not come empty-handed. From the moment she entered the cave yesterday, the medicinal powder she had hidden in the lining of her cotton coat began to take effect.
She cut a hole in the bottom of the cotton coat.
Wherever she passed, the colorless and odorless powder would be blown silently to every corner of the cave by the wind as she moved.
Those people inhaled the powder unconsciously, and slowly they became tired. Once they closed their eyes, it was difficult to open them again.
Unless the effect of the medicine wears off.
They got ashore. These people were captured at different times, and the clothes they wore were different, some thin, some thick.
After getting ashore, they squeezed out as much water as possible from their bodies. When the cold wind blew, everyone clenched their teeth and shivered.
"Do you know where other people are being held?"
"I know."
One of them said, "Those who are useful to them but have strong bones, they will lock them up in a cave on the other side, but..."
Those people suffer inhuman torture every day and may not be alive.
Jiang Cha took out a sealed oil-paper bag from her clothes. The oil-paper bag was waterproof. She opened it in front of everyone. Inside was a flare and a fire starter.
"We must rescue our compatriots no matter what."
This is the military order issued by Jiang Cha.
She will definitely rescue everyone.
Every innocent person.
The men's teeth were broken and their eyes were bloodshot.
"Yes, we must rescue all our compatriots."
These islanders are no good. This place is a den of evil.
"Give me a break. My legs are almost broken after soaking in ice water for so long."
Ginger Tea sent out a flare.
When she turned around, the men who had emerged from the dungeon had almost no feeling in their legs.
Ginger tea is like a walking treasure chest.
She handed out a pill to each person.
"Eat this. I'll give you the acupuncture. In about half an hour, you should be able to move around freely."
"Little girl, do you have this ability?"
Jiang Cha rolled up one person's trouser leg and gave acupuncture seriously without saying a word.
"I'm telling you, our leader can't send a weak girl here."
"I underestimated you just now. I'm really sorry."
These grown men, after being tortured for so long, are still able to maintain their spirit. They are truly outstanding people.
"Don't worry, now is the time to tell me everything you know. We must quickly devise the best plan and work with the people outside to destroy this damn place."
Brought ginger tea together, eight people.
Half an hour later, they came up with a plan.
Everyone acted separately, and with Jiang Cha was a young man named Tian Li.
Tian Li knew where the remaining people were being held.
On the concave side of the canyon, there is a pile of zombies.
Tian Li gritted his teeth, his face full of hatred.
"The brother who came with me was brought in here because of his unusual physical condition. Those people extract something from his body every day. I'm not sure if he's still alive."
"What's the name of the brother who came with you?"
"His name is Huo Jingchuan."
Jiang Cha swayed violently and almost rolled down the slope.
"Tell me again, what's his name?"
"Huo Jingchuan, I remember it very clearly, that's his name."
Jiang Cha ran over there frantically.
Tian Li said that this place is a pile of living dead and there is no one guarding it.
They believed that no one would be able to come out of here alive.
"Slow down, wait for me."
Tian Li chased after him.
Jiang Cha saw a lot of people.
They were all lying on the ground, some with missing arms, some with broken legs, some with missing noses, and some with missing ears.
Jiang Cha trembled all over.
"Brother, where are you?"
Jiang Cha turned over the pages of one person after another like crazy, and saw each face clearly in the moonlight.
While you feel relieved, you will become more nervous.
"Huo Jingchuan, if you are here, can you please agree to my request?"
Tian Li also helped to find people.
"Are there any comrades still alive? Respond and we'll take you out."
The valley is obviously not big, but Jiang Cha feels that it is very big.
It seems like there is no end to the journey.
There are still people alive, but those who are alive are only half alive.
The sun's rays will eventually illuminate every dark corner.
Those who were rescued will never forget the face they saw when they were most desperate, which saved them from danger.
Huo Jingchuan thought he had heard wrongly.
During these long two months, he saw Jiang Cha running towards him more than once, calling him "Big Brother" in the softest voice.
He really wanted to hear Jiang Cha call him again, no matter what name she called him.
I really want to see her again.
However, every time he woke up, he would find that it was all an illusion, a dream.
Repeated disappointments made him immune to this scene.
It's all fake.
Huo Jingchuan, Jiang Cha would not come to such a place.
For two whole months, people outside must have thought that he was dead, right?
Dragging his numb legs, he used his hands to support himself and reached the stone pit at the very corner.
Here he hid all the things he had collected from others.
Such as daggers, belts, grenades, ropes, pancakes and so on.
He collected and hid together all the things he thought were useful.
A strong willpower supported him and prevented him from falling.
He looked at the steep hillside and the top of the mountain which seemed so close to him, yet so far away.
Huo Jingchuan tried many times to climb out from here, but every time, he rolled down halfway because he was exhausted.
He began to try to climb out again.
When Jiang Cha called his name.
Huo Jingchuan didn't dare to look back.
He thought that voice was just another of his own imagination.
But the sound was getting closer and closer.
The one that was close to him exploded right next to his ear.
It doesn't feel like a dream at all.
"Huo Jingchuan, can't you hear me when I call you?"
Jiang Cha was so angry that he cried.
Huo Jingchuan turned around in shock, and as soon as he turned around, Jiang Cha pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
