Ryoko's experience made You Tianfu further realize the horror of the outside world. In this place without laws and borders, although traces of modern technology can be seen, people's behavior is often basic and primitive.
In the face of money and power, human lives become as insignificant as those of ants. The cheapest miners inside the mines are even sold for only a few dozen dollars!
He knew that he couldn't just accept his fate like Lao Pang. No matter what method he used, he had to escape!
Strictly speaking, Hanakawa Ryoko was from the south of the city and their enemy. But now that they had fallen into this situation together, saving their lives was the most important thing, and the hostility between them had long since disappeared.
There is some kind of fate between Ryoko and Lin Lidong. From the time she blocked a knife in a bar to later saving Lin Lidong in return, there were some subtle changes in their relationship at that time.
In addition, this time, in order to confirm her identity, Lin Lidong touched her body several times. Although Liangzi was in a coma and didn't know it at the time, the look in Lin Lidong's eyes when he looked at her was somewhat awkward...
Looking at the completely dark sky outside the wooden house, You Tianfu said softly, "In fact, it's not just us. Even Chen Dong feels deeply sorry for Sawakawa Ichiro's death. He originally wanted to recruit him, but Sawakawa Ichiro was loyal to Xie Jiannan and fought to the death to protect his master. In the end, this result can be regarded as leaving a good reputation for his whole life.
You have seen the situation here in the mine. The terrain is vast, there are many warlords, and they are all fully armed. Any attempt to resist or escape will only bring more serious consequences.
Since you have concealed your gender, you might as well keep pretending. Then you can follow Dongzi and me and won’t be too tired when mining.
As for the future plans, we can only take it one step at a time. Once we have the chance, we will take you out together!"
Lin Lidong nodded vigorously: "Yes, from now on, just follow us brothers. Sooner or later, we will leave this damn place!"
From then on, Ryoko still used the name and identity of a mute. She hardly spoke on weekdays and only occasionally communicated with You Tianfu or Lin Lidong in private when necessary.
Lin Lidong appears to be a rough man, but he suddenly becomes careful when facing Liangzi. He works extremely hard when mining, and two people do the work of three people, and they just don't fall behind others.
Ryoko didn't say it, but she saw every drop of sweat the two of them put in for her. If there were steamed buns during the meal, she would divide them into three portions and secretly throw them into their soup bowls.
A few days later, another group of newcomers escaped late at night, but were caught as expected. Early in the morning, they were tied to the platform according to the old rules and their toes were chopped off one by one.
This time, Hei Niu happened to come to inspect, so he took action personally and acted decisively.
Although this was not the first time they had encountered such a scene, every time Hei Niu took action, it would irritate the other miners.
Most people didn't dare to think about running away anymore, but You Tianfu's gaze became more and more determined. At the same time, he stared at the Hei Niu with a murderous look on his face, and suddenly a bolder idea emerged in his mind!
That night, he told Lin Lidong what he was thinking: "This route of escape is definitely not feasible. Judging from the miners' failed escapes, leaving the mountainside exit is not a complete escape. There must be many obstacles behind, and it is even possible to enter another territory of Hei Niu.
If soft tactics don't work, we might as well use hard tactics. If we can find an opportunity to hold Hei Niu hostage, he will definitely not choose to fight to the death with us in order to save his life!
No matter how many obstacles there are, as long as we can hold on to this 'trump card', our chances of escaping will greatly increase!"
Lin Lidong nodded in agreement, then began to worry again: "If we can really hold Hei Niu hostage, things will indeed be much easier, but you've seen the pomp and ceremony every time Hei Niu comes to inspect. There are warlords everywhere, with dozens of guns pointed at the miners.
Let alone holding him hostage, he would have been beaten to a pulp before he could even reach Hei Niu..."
“So now we need to wait for an opportunity!”
You Tianfu said in a deep voice, "Under the watchful eyes of those warlords, rashly breaking out of the group would surely lead to our own death. Since we can't get close to Hei Niu, let him approach us! However... we might need to risk Liangzi and act as bait..."
Turning his head to glance at the already fast asleep Hanakawa Ryoko, You Tianfu lowered his voice again: "According to Lao Pang's past experience, Hei Niu comes here every one to two weeks, usually in the morning when the miners are having lunch for inspection.
There is no order in which miners queue up. As long as you get up early enough, you can stand in the first row.
We just need to wait until Hei Niu comes to the mine next time, try to stand in the front row, and let Ryoko reveal her identity when Hei Niu inspects and speaks.
As long as Hei Niu finds out, he will definitely come over to check it out himself. Then we can stand on the left and right, one of us will attack while the other grabs the gun. As long as we coordinate our actions perfectly, one second will be enough!"
Lin Lidong didn't answer immediately after hearing this. He was silent for a while before responding, his tone full of worry: "The consequences of this matter are no joke. If Liangzi reveals her female identity and we fail to successfully subdue Hei Niu, God knows what terrible experiences she will have..."
You Tianfu's eyes tightened. "Not only Ryoko, but we two might not be able to survive either. This plan concerns the life and death of three people, so success is a must, failure is not allowed!"
This was a bold idea, one that carried both risks and opportunities. If everything went well, the chances of escaping would increase significantly. However, if any mistakes were made along the way, their fate would be doomed to be disastrous.
The next day in the mine, Lin Lidong told Liangzi about the plan after work. Liangzi didn't react much after hearing it. Although she could understand the degree of danger, she nodded calmly.
She didn't question the feasibility of the plan or the risks she was taking. Instead, she gave a more affirmative answer: "This is probably the only way to escape from here right now. It's indeed very dangerous, but I believe in you. If you are truly prepared, I am willing to act as bait!"
The three of them chatted idly for a long time before finally reaching a consensus, unanimously deciding to take the enormous risk and give it a try. After all, if they dared to try, they might still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, they would just waste their energy in the mines, slowly heading towards death...
Then they found Lao Pang again. When he heard about this "shocking plan", his eyes widened. He knew that if he failed this time, it would not be as simple as cutting off his toes, but his life and property would be at stake.
Lao Pang hesitated all night, and it wasn't until the next morning, while waiting in line for lunch, that he finally made up his mind. Looking at You Tianfu and Lin Lidong in front of him, his expression turned fierce: "I've lived through so many years of struggling. I've had enough! Instead of suffering like this, I might as well give it a try!"
I fucking did this!"
