Chapter 59: Physical Sleeping Methods]
When she heard the footsteps, Ye Qingyue dodged and hid behind the tree, took out a palm-sized mirror from the space, and peeked through the reflected image.
From the mirror, she saw a short and fat man yawning and coming out of the house, but his eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
Seeing that there was no one around, the short and fat man rubbed his eyes with one hand and held his butt with the other hand, and walked to the back room.
Ye Qingyue did not follow him immediately, but sneaked into the room where the short and fat man came out.
After a system scan, dangerous knives and some things for kidnapping were placed in an inconspicuous corner of the house.
Presumably, the short and fat man slept here to keep an eye on the movements in the front yard at all times.
Once someone is found sneaking in, they will bring their friends and take action directly.
The system also found a secret compartment under a green brick, which contained money and silver coins.
Ye Qingyue took it away and followed the short and fat man.
The short and fat man entered the woodshed in the backyard and there was no movement afterwards.
Ye Qingyue's heart moved, could it be...
She quietly came to the side of the woodshed and turned on the scan.
The system said: "There is a secret passage behind the firewood pile."
Sure enough.
Ye Qingyue knew that the short and fat man would not enter this small woodshed for no reason and would not come out for a long time. There must be something else inside.
After the system scanned and confirmed that there was no trap in the woodshed, Ye Qingyue pushed the door open and saw a pile of firewood in the corner.
She narrowed her eyes: "Are there any lighters in the space?"
The system immediately introduced her to thirteen different lighters in the space, just like reading a menu.
Ye Qingyue: "..." In order to transfer merit points, how many weird things did the system trick her into buying?
Complaining in her heart, Ye Qingyue picked up a metal lighter at random. She
tore off a large piece of old cloth from her body, ignited it, and threw it directly on the dry firewood.
She found the secret passage behind the firewood pile and removed the wooden board covering it.
This would save the trouble of waiting for the fire to get big and no smoke could be smelled from below.
Ye Qingyue actually considered whether to throw drugs or even tear gas directly into the secret passage.
But after comprehensive practical considerations, she gave up.
Firstly, the detection range of the system was too small, and she didn't know how big the space under the secret passage was.
For drugs, too much or too little would cause problems.
Especially since Huo Qiuyi might be hiding underneath, Ye Qingyue didn't want to accidentally hurt him.
Secondly, if she took out something too outrageous and used it here, it would likely attract police investigation.
Ye Qingyue was confident that she could erase all traces and avoid being caught, but it would take a lot of effort.
At least the bottle of wine she just bought couldn't be kept, lest they be traced back.
It was a headache just thinking about it.
So, let's just use materials on the spot.
Seeing the fire start, white smoke filled the room.
Ye Qingyue took out a large fan from the space and fanned the smoke into the secret passage.
After hearing the screams from inside, he put away his fan, covered the entrance of the secret passage with wooden boards, quietly left the wood room and hid outside the door.
"Cough cough cough——"
Ye Qingyue had just dodged and hid outside the door when he heard the flurry of coughs from the wood room, which were already stung by the smoke.
"Why did the fire start?" A slightly shrill female voice sounded.
"Did you, Fatty, drop the cigarette butt on the firewood?" Another irritable male voice sounded.
"Bullshit, didn't I give all the cigarettes to you guys last night? Where did the cigarettes come from?" The last person's voice sounded honest, probably the short and fat man seen before.
"It's all the fault of that idiot Bangchui. He lost the notebook and made us hide everywhere. When I catch him, I will kill him!" The angry male voice sounded again.
"Ahem... do you still have time to argue here? Go out and get some water to put out the fire. If the smoke goes outside, it will attract the police!" The female voice was a little hoarse due to the smoke.
"Fatty and I will go get some water. Don't come up. Go and get that girl out. Don't let her die in there. She's worth three thousand yuan!"
As the angry male voice fell, two chaotic footsteps quickly approached the door of the woodshed.
...
Ye Qingyue held the stick in both hands, concentrating on distinguishing the distance of the owner of the footsteps.
Three meters, two meters, half a meter...
out!
Ye Qingyue saw a foot step out of the door, picked up the wooden stick in his hand, and smashed it hard on the other person's head -
physical sleeping method!
"Bang!"
With a stick, the strong man who ran out first fell to the ground with stars in his eyes.
The fat man who followed behind rushed out because of inertia, and before he could stop his feet, he saw a wooden stick that looked harder than his head, hitting him head-on!
"Bang!"
The fat man's eyes went dark, he saw stars in the daytime, muttered something in his mouth, and fell on his back.
After killing both of them, Ye Qingyue stepped over the two people on the ground and walked towards the entrance of the secret passage.
There was a rustling sound from inside.
Then a young woman who was tied up tightly was seen being pushed out from below.
Although the woman's mouth was stuffed with cloth, her eyes were not covered.
Seeing Ye Qingyue coming over wearing a big straw hat, half of her face covered, and a torn sheet with a broken corner, he widened his eyes in horror. Who is this person?
Ye Qingyue immediately guessed the identity of this woman, Huo Qiuyi.
He raised a finger to his lips, signaling Huo Qiuyi not to make a sound.
Ye Qingyue stepped forward and carried her out of the tunnel.
The human vendor below thought that his companions were helping, and complained: "I am enough here, you might as well get more buckets of water to put out the fire..."
Before he finished speaking, the human vendor stopped.
Because she saw, above the entrance of the passage, a person wearing strange clothes, unable to distinguish between men and women, holding a wooden stick in his hand.
Although the face was covered with cloth, the human trafficker still felt that she showed him a sinister smile.
And then -
"Bang!"
A blow to the head, get out!
The human trafficker screamed "Ah" and rolled down the stairs of the secret passage. After a series of crackling sounds, there was no movement.
After getting rid of the last human trafficker, Ye Qingyue put the wooden stick on her waist and helped Huo Qiuyi out of the woodshed filled with white smoke.
When they reached the open space, he immediately untied her and took out the cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Seeing Huo Qiuyi's dazed face, Ye Qingyue asked, "
Are you okay..." "Wuwaaawuwuwuwu——"
Before she could finish her words, Huo Qiuyi threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.
Poor child.
Ye Qingyue patted Huo Qiuyi's back and scanned her clothes.
Although they looked a little dirty, there were no signs of tearing. It should have just been rubbed when she was sent to the secret passage just now, not for other reasons.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Many traffickers are so crazy that they will "play" with the kidnapped women before selling them.
Many kidnapped women are in a very bad mental state, and even become "crazy" directly, because they have suffered such bad things and can't bear it, and their spirits collapse.
Fortunately, Huo Qiuyi is not so unlucky.
However, there were several red marks on her arms exposed outside her sleeves, probably from being beaten. She must have suffered a lot during the day of being kidnapped.
"It's okay."
Ye Qingyue patted Huo Qiuyi on the back and comforted her, "I have knocked those traffickers unconscious. I will take you to the police station and find your home later..."
Before she finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the wall.
She raised her head alertly and saw a tall and thin man climbing over the wall, landing on the ground and meeting her eyes.
"Don't move!"
After seeing Ye Qingyue, the tall and thin man's panicked face showed a fierce look. He took out something from his waist and pointed it at Ye Qingyue, "Otherwise I will blow your head off!"
Ye Qingyue's pupils shrank -
gun? !
