Chapter 153
There were piles of dead leaves and branches in the woods, and when one stepped on them there was a crackling sound. With four people and eight feet, the sound was even louder, telling the enemy directly where their preparation position was.
Wang Zhen and his companions chased after them relentlessly because they heard the noise.
Running on like this is not a solution.
The four people discussed urgently. At this time, the full moon in the night sky was blocked by clouds, and the moonlight was not as bright as before. Although the forest was not as covered as the tropical rainforest, the surrounding trees were lush and leafy, which blocked a lot of moonlight. If they walked in some dark places, they would be less likely to be discovered.
Having made up their minds, everyone slowed down their steps and moved slowly in the direction determined by Qiu Zijie.
After the crackling sounds stopped, Wang Zhen also stopped and looked around carefully. There were trees in front, behind, left and right, and weeds and vegetation almost knee-high under his feet. It was dark at night, and his vision was limited, making it difficult to find someone.
Click, click...
There is movement again.
Wang Zhen's eyes turned fierce, and he turned around and fired a shot towards the source of the sound.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the woods, startling the birds and sending them flying.
The man was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, fell to the ground and shouted: "Boss, boss, it's me, it's me, don't shoot!"
Guns are not that easy to get. Except for Wang Zhen, no one else has one. Wang Zhen got the gun from a car at the risk of it exploding at any time. When he heard that it was one of his own, he got angry and said, "You useless bastard, if you don't want to be shot, get out front and find it for me!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The subordinate responded hurriedly, climbed up tremblingly, and walked to the front with the wet □□.
Using the rustling sounds made by the flock of birds taking off as cover, the boys advanced some distance in the dark. Qiu Zijie looked up at the sky and observed for a while. The stars in the sky were almost invisible. Going deeper into the forest would be useless and they might get lost. So they kept walking along the road. Once they got rid of Wang Zhen and his friends, they could go back to the road and stop cars openly. However, not going deep into the forest also had its disadvantages. The trees near the road were sparse and they could be easily discovered if they were not careful.
The four boys hid in a patch of grass half a person's height. In front of them was a tree with dense branches and leaves that just blocked them all.
Wang Zhen and two of his men walked by not far away.
Wang Zhen was quite smart. He found that the deeper they went, the less signs of weeds being trampled. So he concluded that the boys would not go inside and searched along the area not far from the road.
In the distance, a ray of light shone towards the direction where the boys were hiding.
Qiu Zijie made a hushing gesture.
The light was not coming towards them, but a car was passing by on the road, but the car stopped on the side of the road. If what he guessed was correct, it was the additional personnel that Wang Zhen had called to send in.
The number of people tracking them has increased from three to more than a dozen. If they continue searching like this, they will definitely find some clues of their whereabouts, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught.
The boys made eye contact again.
Qiu Zijie made a walking gesture with two fingers: It seems that we have to go deeper into the forest. Let's go deeper, avoid them first, and then find a place to stay together for one night and wait for dawn.
Song Xingqi nodded: I understand. When you give the order, we will rush out together to fight them. At worst, we will both die and the net will be broken. I can be a hero again in eighteen years. I am not a coward!
Jiang Ling: I understand. We should sneak around in the dark and wait and see.
Sheng Xiaoxing: If someone needs to lead them away, then I will do it. I have good physical strength and can run fast. They may not be able to catch up with me. I may even be able to stop a car on the road and ask for help. Even if they catch up with me, I can still fight with them for a few moves. You can take the opportunity to escape in the opposite direction.
Four people: Gosh!
Sheng Xiaoxing stood up and rushed out like an arrow. The sound of his footsteps on the dead leaves was particularly clear and loud in the quiet night.
The remaining three:......
It turns out that eye contact is unreliable.
"Chase him quickly!" Wang Zhen shouted.
Many people chased after Sheng Xiaoxing. As soon as Sheng Xiaoxing ran away, Song Xingqi and the others realized that Xiaoxing deliberately wanted to be used as bait to lure away the kidnappers and give them a chance to escape.
Qiu Zijie made a decision: "Since Xiao Xing has attracted the firepower, we will not run deep into the forest. Otherwise, if he is caught and there is no rescue, the kidnappers will vent their anger on him and he will definitely die. We will run in the opposite direction, but still along the road. After we have distanced ourselves from them, we will go to the road to ask for help!"
Jiang Ling and Song Xingqi: "Okay!"
The three of them took action immediately.
Wang Zhen was not stupid. He heard footsteps and knew there was only one person running, so he stopped a few people and told three of them to look deep into the woods. He then led three people to search in the direction where Qiu Zijie and the others had fled, while the rest went after Sheng Xiaoxing. The boss said he wanted to kill someone, so it didn't make any difference whether it was one day earlier or later. He was already prepared to kill all of these cunning boys.
Sheng Xiaoxing kept rushing onto the road. Even though this was a hilly section with very few vehicles on the road, it was not that there were no cars at all from morning to night. There would always be one or two cars passing by every half an hour or an hour.
He broke into a run.
Once you are on the road, you will be exposed. The advantage is that you can run much faster than in the woods, but the disadvantage is that there is nowhere to hide and you are easy to be shot.
However, the people chasing him did not have guns, but they had knives.
"stop!"
"Stop right there!"
The person behind shouted.
Sheng Xiaoxing didn't even turn his head. This was more than just running. He was risking his life. Even if his two legs were broken, he had to keep moving.
The people behind him couldn't catch up with him. Sheng Xiaoxing seemed to have fast legs. He always kept a distance from the criminals chasing him, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
The criminals also gritted their teeth and chased desperately, but seeing that they could not catch up, they had the same idea as Wang Zhen. One of them raised the seven or eight inch long knife in his hand and threw it at Sheng Xiaoxing's back.
Whoosh, the knife passed by Sheng Xiaoxing's shoulder. The aim was not good, but it left a bloody cut on Sheng Xiaoxing's shoulder.
Sheng Xiaoxing fell forward, his knees rubbed against the ground and the flesh was instantly rotten, the palm of his hand was also scratched, and he felt pain all over for a moment, but now was not the time to be pretentious, he immediately got up, picked up the knife on the ground and threw it out. There were more people on the other side, and he could always stab one without aiming.
Sure enough, with a scream, a man was stabbed in the thigh and fell to his knees.
None of his companions paid attention to him, and everyone surrounded Sheng Xiaoxing.
"Run, run again," the criminal panted, pointing the knife at Sheng Xiaoxing, "I want to see where you can run to!"
"If you have the guts, let me run away, trash," Sheng Xiaoxing clenched his fists and looked at these people coldly.
The probability of escape was extremely small, and he had already prepared for death. After all, one more or one less of him wouldn't make much difference in this world, and his death was not in vain, at least he bought time for his friends, so it could be considered a worthy death.
I heard that when people face death, they will think of many people and many things, and it is true.
Many scenes flashed through his mind.
When he was a child, his parents celebrated his birthday with him and his mother took him to the amusement park. Later, his parents often quarreled and broke things and bowls from time to time. Later, when he went to elementary school and junior high school, he always went alone. Every time the school notified him to hold a parent-teacher meeting, he would keep silent when he got home. But these did not cause any waves in his heart, just like a gust of wind blowing by.
Only when I think of my friends do I feel sad and regretful.
Who says high school was his happiest time? There was the simple and enthusiastic Song Xingqi who always made him feel happy, the outspoken Jiang Ling, and the knowledgeable Qiu Zijie. These friends always gave him warmth inadvertently. They had experienced life and death and were as close as brothers, but they would have to wait 18 years before they could be brothers again.
And Brother Yan, he has never had a nice conversation with Brother Yan.
Sheng Xiaoxing had an awkward look on his face.
If he could really turn into a ghost after death, he would go and have a good chat with Brother Yan, and it wouldn't be impossible to be sucked again...
The criminal who was stabbed in the leg limped up, put his arm around the shoulder of a companion and gritted his teeth: "Before taking this damned boy back, give him a stab. If he stabbed me, I will pay him back double! Hold him down for me."
"Okay, hurry up and take it back as soon as possible," the two companions stepped forward.
The wounded gangster raised the bloody knife.
At this time, a mountain wind blew at night, whistling and making the hair on people's heads dance wildly in the wind. The rumbling sound of the rotor turning also came from far away.
Everyone looked up. It was not because the wind blew up for no reason at night, but because several helicopters arrived.
Two of them descended very quickly and were above their heads in the blink of an eye. The criminals had not yet determined whether they were friends or foes, so they did not run away. They just raised their arms to block the strong wind. At the same time, they saw a rescue ladder dropped from a helicopter and a man used the ladder to get off the helicopter.
Sheng Xiaoxing just stared at the wind in a daze, with a light flashing in his eyes.
It’s Brother Yan!
"Duoduo, I'm late," Fu Yan's words spread in the whistling wind, and were unusually able to calm people's hearts.
Then the man jumped down from the rope ladder.
The criminals only wanted money, not their lives. While the people on the other helicopters were still there, they surrounded Fu Yan. But even if these people had weapons in their hands, they were no match for Fu Yan. The criminals, who looked strong based on their physique, were just weaklings in front of Fu Yan who could be kicked away at any time. They were so weak that they could not withstand a single blow.
He snatched the knife, punched out, and knocked them down. Within a few minutes, all the criminals fell to the ground. Those who could still speak could only wail, and those who couldn't speak fainted from the heavy blows that broke their ribs.
Fu Yan picked up a knife on the ground, stabbed it into the arm of the criminal who was still talking on the ground, and asked, "Who hurt my Duoduo?"
The question was about the injury on Sheng Xiaoxing's shoulder.
The criminal was shaking with pain. He didn't know who Duoduo was, but he was undoubtedly the boy being chased. He glanced at his accomplice and pointed at someone with a trembling finger: "Yes, he was the one who threw the knife."
Fu Yan stood up and walked towards him, his face gloomy and cold, he picked up one of the arms of the unconscious gangster and stepped on it and broke it with a snap.
"Ah--" The unconscious gangster woke up in pain, his eyes wide open with bloodshot, he saw his arm bent strangely, and fainted again on the spot.
"Third brother," Fu Zhan shouted from the helicopter, "Big brother, second brother and I will go and look for little Maotuan!"
Sheng Xiaoxing pointed the direction loudly for Fu Zhan and the others: "Fourth brother, look east. Jiang Ling and the others are running in the opposite direction to me."
Fu Zhan: “Okay!”
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots were heard in the direction Sheng Xiaoxing pointed.
