Chapter 302: Discovering the Place Where They Were Captured
"Really?" Lin Zhishen smiled softly and didn't ask any more questions.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhishen turned around and suddenly walked towards a piece of sand and gravel. Under Lin Baoer's puzzled gaze, he suddenly reached out and groped for something on the sand and gravel. After a while, the sand and gravel on the other side suddenly separated slowly, revealing a hidden path.
Lin Baoer's eyes widened in surprise.
"How do you know there is a secret door here?" She asked subconsciously, and then she remembered what Lin Zhishen had said before, and was secretly surprised.
It seems that Lin Zhishen is more familiar with this place than she thought.
Lin Zhishen didn't explain, and after making a gesture to her, he walked in first, "Follow me."
Lin Baoer nodded.
After entering, Lin Zhishen first identified the surroundings, and then gently knocked on the sandstone wall on the right. The next second, many hidden weapons shot out from the two walls. If they went straight in without any precautions, they would probably become a hornet's nest in an instant.
At this time, Lin Baoer also saw the messy footprints on the ground. It seemed that they found the right place.
However, Lin Baoer still felt surprised. In such a poor and dangerous desert, this group of bandits could still come up with these mechanisms. I think they must not be good people.
After triggering all the hidden weapons between the two walls, the two passed through this path safely.
There was another gravel area beyond the path. After crossing two gravel areas, Lin Zhishen did not continue to move forward, but chose a higher hillside and climbed up.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain, he had a clear view of the situation below.
In the middle open space surrounded by gravel, there were three large tents and several small tents. People were constantly coming and going in the tents, each doing their job and drinking and singing.
Lin Baoer looked around and found that there were also many sentries, but the clever thing was that the two of them were in the blind spot of these people's vision and were not easy to be found.
"This is too familiar, just like my own home." She muttered.
Lin Zhishen didn't hear what she said. He scanned the area and fixed his eyes on a certain position. He raised his chin and gestured, "Look."
Lin Baoer looked over and was immediately a little excited.
It was Jiang Yuzhi!
She was tied up by the bandits and thrown into a corner. Someone was talking to her, but Jiang Yuzhi didn't say a word from beginning to end. Her face was slightly pale and she looked listless. She didn't look very good.
"Will these people not do anything to her?" Lin Baoer worried.
After seeing Jiang Yuzhi and the bandits who coveted her, Lin Baoer's mind unconsciously recalled some bad things, which made her look ugly.
What will be the end of a woman who enters a wolf's den? This is also the reason why she is anxious.
"She's still wearing the same clothes, intact, so she should be fine." Lin Zhishen knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "They won't act immediately after kidnapping someone, but will first confirm the identity of the kidnapped person, and then decide the fate of those people after the physical examination."
Men who are worthless will be killed, and women will be left for their enjoyment.
But he didn't say this to Lin Baoer, for fear that she would think in a bad direction.
"Then what should we do now?" Lin Baoer frowned.
At a glance, there are at least twenty people outside the tent, not counting those in the tent or those who have gone out. How can they save just a few people?
Lin Zhishen frowned and thought.
To be honest, this matter is also quite tricky for him. If he can't force his way in, then he can only use wits.
"In this environment, their supplies are extremely scarce, so this is why they robbed the caravan." Lin Zhishen said in a low voice: "Or use money. Gold is a hard currency, and they are no exception. As long as you give enough, you can use money to redeem people."
But at present, they have neither of these two options.
"Do they accept bribes?" Lin Baoer suddenly asked.
If they accept bribes, then she has a way.
"Not sure." Lin Zhishen shook his head, "When I was captured here, the boss here was called Qing Ye. There was a long scar on his neck. His methods were cruel and ruthless. He only gave leniency to money. If you can't pay, you will definitely lose your head."
Hearing this, Lin Baoer frowned even more deeply.
In this case, it seems that Master Qing is not someone who can accept bribes.
Before she could think about it, Lin Zhishen patted her shoulder and said, "Go back and meet Si Xu and the others first. An hour is almost up. Let's discuss it later."
"What about Yuzhi?!" Lin Baoer was anxious.
She was not at ease leaving Jiang Yuzhi here alone.
"Don't worry, she will be fine before tonight." Lin Zhishen did not explain the reason. After saying this, he dragged Lin Baoer away.
But before leaving, Lin Baoer still left Xiaofen here.
"Xiaofen, go check the situation. Don't let them find out. If Yuzhi is in any danger, you will act according to the situation." She warned.
Lin Zhishen watched her conversation with Xiaofen with interest. After Lin Baoer finished speaking, Xiaofen left on her own. He raised his eyebrows, "Does it really understand what you say?"
When he was in the Tiger Head Gang before, he felt that this little snake was quite spiritual, but he only thought that it could only understand some simple instructions. He didn't expect that it could understand such a long sentence. This is not just psychic.
His inquiring eyes fell on Lin Baoer. Lin Baoer looked at him without guilt and did not answer his question, "I feel more at ease with it around."
Then the two left and spent another half an hour to return to the place where they met.
From a distance, they saw Si Xu and his group waiting there. When they saw them coming back, they hurried over and said, "If you don't come back, we will go to your direction to look for you."
It was Yu Sheng who spoke, and he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was almost noon now, and they hadn't even had lunch when this happened. They were quite upset.
But they couldn't eat anything in this situation.
"Did you find anything?" Si Xu asked, "We have been wandering around in this area and didn't find any clues."
Yu Sheng felt a little ashamed when he heard this.
He had not been to this place very often, and was not familiar with it, let alone the whereabouts of the bandits.
Lin Baoer nodded and told them everything they had just discovered, but she concealed the fact that Lin Zhishen knew about those secret passages.
Lin Zhishen's expression did not change, and he only added after Lin Baoer finished speaking, "She should be safe before dark. We need to discuss countermeasures before then, so let's go back first."
