Chapter 137 Self-rescue
The short man handed the kettle to Lin Hao's lips: "Just drink it. If you don't like it, forget it."
Lin Hao lowered his eyes and stared at the mouth of the kettle. This was obviously the kettle used by the man.
The thought of drinking from the pot made her stomach churn, but she nodded, "I'll drink it."
No one knows where this cave is. If it is hidden enough, it is normal for people searching to not find it for several days. If she wants to get her sister out, she must maintain sufficient physical strength.
Fortunately, the man did not stuff the spout of the pot into Lin Hao's mouth, but tilted it to pour water.
Lin Hao caught it with his mouth, some of it went into his mouth, and more of it flowed down his neck and clothes.
Such embarrassment made the man's eyes change slightly.
Lin Hao tilted his head: "I'm full, thank you."
The man picked up a piece of cloth and tried to cover her mouth again. Lin Hao begged frantically, "Please don't cover my mouth. I'm having trouble breathing. I promise I won't scream."
The man glanced hesitantly at his companion.
The burly man said in a cold tone: "No."
The short man no longer hesitated and neatly blocked Lin Hao's mouth.
At this time Lin Chan woke up.
Unlike Lin Hao who had been pretending to be unconscious, Lin Chan was really unconscious. When she suddenly woke up, her first reaction was to look for her sister. Seeing Lin Hao with his mouth gagged and his hands and feet tied, she couldn't help but whimper anxiously.
"This one is awake too." The short man was obviously more interested in Lin Chan than Lin Hao. It wasn't that he had any bad intentions, but he was just curious.
"Would you like some water?" he asked the same question.
Lin Chan's attention was mostly on Lin Hao. Seeing her nod imperceptibly, she nodded immediately.
After giving the warning, the man removed the cloth stuffed in Lin Chan's mouth and handed her the kettle.
Lin Chan's expression changed immediately: "I... I'm not thirsty anymore..."
To be honest, I'm not thirsty in such a short time.
The man smiled while holding the kettle: "You are more particular than your sister."
Lin Chan subconsciously glanced at Lin Hao and changed her words: "Please, I'd better drink a little."
After swallowing enough water and suppressing her nausea, Lin Chan cautiously asked the two, "Do you want a ransom? As long as you don't harm me and my sister, my family will pay any ransom."
"Stop talking nonsense." The man blocked Lin Chan's mouth with a cloth ball. "Just stay still."
The two men returned to a place near the cave entrance and sat down to rest.
The entrance to the cave is mostly covered by rocks, with vines and weeds hanging outside. Through the gaps in the vines, one can observe the situation outside at any time.
Without a doubt, this is a great hiding place.
Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao in despair, tears in her eyes.
She implicated her sister!
Lin Hao blinked.
Although the two sisters could not speak, they had a tacit understanding, and Lin Chan's despair was soothed.
Does my second sister have a way to escape?
She couldn't imagine how they could get away with this, but she chose to believe it for no reason.
As time passed, the light from the cave entrance quietly shifted direction.
The unchanging scene outside the cave bored the two men, and the two girls who were tied up tightly inside also made them feel at ease.
The short man let out a sigh: "I'll take a nap first."
You can't chat casually, and you can't take advantage of others, so it's better to sleep to pass the time.
After a while, snoring sounds were heard in the cave.
The burly man frowned and slapped the man awake.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't sleep, you're snoring."
The short man almost jumped up, his voice rising a few notes: "Impossible, I'm not asleep yet!"
"If you do, your snoring might be heard."
"I wasn't even asleep, how could I be snoring?" The short man was unconvinced and turned to ask Lin Hao and the other man, "Did you hear me snoring?"
Lin Hao and Lin Chan looked at each other and nodded in unison.
The short man was speechless immediately.
The burly man said, "I'll go to sleep first. It's your turn to sleep at night."
"What should I do if I still snore at night?"
Is this a trick to let him hold on alone until the end?
"This is in the mountains. Those people will stop searching at night, so snoring doesn't matter."
When the short man heard this, he had no choice but to nod: "Okay then, you go to sleep first."
Not long after, the burly man fell asleep.
Listening to his companion's even breathing, the short man became even more sleepy and soon nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
After a while, snoring was heard again in the cave.
Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao waited a little longer, making sure the two men were asleep. Then he slowly turned over and touched Lin Chan's hand with his hands tied behind his back.
Lin Chan didn't know what her sister was going to do, so she remained expressionless.
She suddenly felt something pulling at the ropes that bound her hands.
One, two, three...
Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao in shock.
It was obviously a hard object. How did the second sister get it because her hands were tied just like her?
Lin Hao signaled Lin Chan not to reveal her true identity and to concentrate on cutting the rope with a hard object.
It was a small piece of stone that she had hidden in her palm in advance.
She stumbled while chasing the man who kidnapped her sister, and her right hand happened to press on the small stone piece. She hid the small stone piece in her palm without hesitation.
The hard stone shards scratched the tender palm of my hand, causing a burning pain, but it was nothing compared to the chance of escape.
After all, a stone flake is not a dagger, so it is not easy to use it to cut the rope. After grinding for a while, Lin Hao's hands became numb and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Chan felt sorry for him, but was unable to help.
Finally, she loosened her hands and the rope broke.
Lin Chan was delighted, but soon her expression returned to calm. She put her hands behind her back and began to untie the rope for Lin Hao.
It was much easier to untie the rope with free hands than to grind it bit by bit with small stones. It didn't take long before Lin Hao's hands were free.
Lin Chan did not continue.
Her younger sister obviously had more ideas than her and couldn't act rashly and lose the chance to escape.
Lin Hao looked towards the cave entrance.
The two masked men were both leaning against the stone wall, still sleeping.
Determination flashed in her eyes.
If they wanted to escape, they had to go through that cave, and there was almost no possibility of going through that cave without waking up the two men.
While chasing them, she discovered that these two people were very skilled and she could not deal with them by force.
This was also the reason why she fell into their hands without putting up a desperate fight. Only in this way could she be with her sister instead of becoming a member of the search team looking for a needle in a haystack.
We still have to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for the two men to separate.
Lin Hao hid the fallen rope, and then replaced the rope that tied her and Lin Chan's feet with a slipknot. At the critical moment, she only needed to pull it lightly and the legs would be free.
What follows is a long wait.
As the light changed, the cave became increasingly darker. Finally, the burly man opened his eyes. He immediately turned his head to look at Sister Lin Hao, then kicked the shorter man in anger: "Why are you sleeping?"
The short man was kicked awake and said awkwardly, "I don't know how I fell asleep..."
He glanced inside and said casually, "They can't escape anyway. Um... I'm going to go out for a while."
