51 Very cruel
"Does it hurt?"
Jiang Suiyun coughed twice. Her hands and feet were tied tightly, so she could only try to get some useful information from these people.
But it is obvious that the other party must have been instructed in advance, or they don’t know and just do it for the money.
After the tattooed man gave her some water, he carefully checked the ropes around Jiang Suiyun's hands and feet and warned her fiercely, "Behave yourself."
Jiang Suiyun narrowed his eyes and deliberately showed a frightened look.
The man with tattoos was satisfied and turned back to the card table.
Four or five strong men were sitting around the table. Jiang Suiyun felt very disappointed. The current situation was not good at all. She could only pray that He Chifeng would notice that she was missing soon.
She looked around and suddenly her eyes fell on a row of crooked wooden boxes. There were a few small words printed on the lower right corner of the box: "Tianyuan Forest Farm".
What a familiar name.
Jiang Suiyun's mind was working rapidly. Although H City was surrounded by mountains, it was not a scenic spot because it was not far enough from the city. There were not many mountains that could be entered freely and were usually sparsely populated.
She only remembered one place.
Xiuyun Mountain.
When she was a child, she came here with her mother to pick mushrooms, because her grandfather was mining in a mine not far from here. She remembered that there was also a forest farm here.
Later, the mining area collapsed and the river changed its course. The forestry dormitory here was flooded and abandoned. Jiang Suiyun compared the surrounding environment and her heart beat faster. She was almost certain that the place she was in now was the abandoned forestry dormitory at that time.
She struggled with the hemp rope around her wrists, but it didn't move at all.
It's tied really tight.
She gritted her teeth and tried to reach the knot with her hooked hands, but found that she couldn't reach it at all. Suddenly, she noticed a small piece of rusty blade lying next to the wooden box. It blended with the earth color and could not be seen without careful observation.
Jiang Suiyun was delighted. The group of people were having fun playing cards and no one paid attention to her in the corner.
She began to move to the side carefully, little by little. Just when she got the small piece of blade, the man with tattoos suddenly turned around with an angry face.
In an instant, Jiang Suiyun's heart was beating so fast that it almost rose to his throat.
Fortunately, he was just angry because he lost again at cards and had no place to vent his anger. Seeing Jiang Suiyun looking at him, he yelled, "What are you looking at!"
Jiang Suiyun was speechless.
nerve.
She silently looked away, holding the small blade in her hand. Although it was a bit blunt, it was better than nothing.
…
The heavy rain was still falling outside, and the raindrops hit the iron roof, making a deafening noise.
The abandoned cabin swayed in the wind, and muddy water flowed out from under the door, forming a puddle on the ground.
Scar leaned against the window and looked out.
I saw that the original forest path had slowly converged into a rushing stream, and dead branches and weeds were swirling on the turbid water surface.
The few people who were originally laughing and playing cards could no longer laugh.
The tattooed man angrily kicked the creaking wooden door. "Damn it, the water is rising like crazy!"
"Boss, when will those contact people arrive? If we don't leave now, it's really going to flood!"
Skinny Monkey complained dissatisfiedly: "It hasn't rained for such a long time, but it happened today... Scar, look at the place you chose, it's so low, it's bound to flood, it's just a matter of time."
"Hey! You stupid monkey! Weren't you there when we chose the location? Why didn't you tell me? Now you're talking after the fact..."
The two men started fighting among themselves.
The man with the tattooed arms was fed up with listening: "Okay, everyone, shut up!"
Jiang Suiyun curled up in the corner against the wall, the cold rain dripping onto her through the hole above her head, soaking half of her clothes.
She quietly moved her wrists behind her back. She had been sharpening the blade since she got it. After an unknown amount of time, the fibers of the thick hemp rope broke one by one.
Jiang Suiyun could feel that the effect of the medicine in his body was slowly wearing off.
Listening to what these people said, her heart moved slightly.
Anyone who knows a little about Xiuyun Mountain would not choose this place as the transaction location on a rainy day. It is obvious that these people are not familiar with this place.
Jiang Suiyun's gaze fell on the window closest to her.
There's another stack of wooden boxes over there, even more crooked than this one. It almost feels like a random push would bring down the entire row next to it...
The man with tattoos called again.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
Jiang Suiyun originally wanted to listen carefully to see if he could hear anything so that he could call the police when he got out.
But the man with tattoos glanced at her and went to the next room, obviously guarding against her.
It was unknown what the two said.
After hanging up the phone, the man with tattoos pinched Jiang Suiyun's face, took a few more photos, recorded a video, and sent it to the other party.
The man's grip was so strong that Jiang Suiyun frowned and her palms, which were holding the broken rope, were slightly sweaty. However, she knew the situation well, so she did not dare to resist and cooperated quite well.
After the photo shoot, the tattooed man put away his phone and impatiently ordered his men: "Carry her, let's move."
"Boss, what's going on?"
"It's raining too hard, we can't come up, and we're also afraid that the mountain will be closed due to landslides, so our employer wants us to take the people down." The man with tattoos cursed, "Fuck him! He's playing tricks on me, coming up and then down again."
Several people were a little annoyed.
Scar was dissatisfied: "It's raining so hard and the water is rising. How can we carry this woman across the mountain road?"
Hearing this, Jiang Suiyun suddenly said, "How about... you untie my feet and let me walk on my own."
She swallowed hard, trying to keep her tone calm. "The mountain road is so bumpy, it's too uncomfortable for me to be carried by you. Besides, there are so many of you, I can't escape."
The kidnappers exchanged glances and thought, this girl is quite honest and probably doesn't have any tricks.
Finally, the man with tattoos used a knife to cut the rope on Jiang Suiyun's feet.
Scar, who was standing next to her, threw her a torn raincoat.
"Dress properly and don't play tricks."
Jiang Suiyun looked submissive, then lowered his head and pretended to put on his raincoat, but in fact he leaned towards the window without making a sound.
Skinny Monkey was looking out the window at the small river, but not long after, the water flooded up the hillside again: "Oh my god! Boss, look at the water, isn't it rising rapidly!"
Several people looked over there. Jiang Suiyun found the right moment to break free from the rope and knocked over the wooden boxes stacked next to him. In an instant, the tilted wooden boxes collapsed like dominoes.
Splinters of rotten wood and rusty nails fell like a rainstorm.
The fight caught several people off guard.
These boxes are made of solid wood and are very heavy. If they hit someone, it will hurt so much that their internal organs will be twisted together.
While they were covering their heads to dodge, Jiang Suiyun turned over and ran out of the window.
The man with tattoos was hit on the back and roared, "Fuck! She's trying to run away!"
"Catch her!"
Coming out of the house, the rain lashed at one's face like a whip.
My wrists and ankles are burning with pain!
Jiang Suiyun's vision was blurred. She stepped deep and shallow into the mud. Behind her was the man's fierce shouting and cursing. She didn't dare to stop.
I ran forward with all my might, the only sound I could hear in my eardrums was my own rapid heartbeat.
The heavy rain washed away the soft soil, revealing the tangled roots of the old trees. Jiang Suiyun slipped and tripped, falling heavily to the ground. Her knees and calves were instantly rubbed and bleeding. She got up and continued to run.
She was quite familiar with this area, but after all, so many years had passed, so there must have been some changes. The heavy rain blurred her vision. She looked at the fork in the road in front of her and had no time to think about it. She could only go by feeling.
The cursing from the group behind him was getting closer.
If she remembered correctly, there was a cave further down that could hide people. Jiang Suiyun held her breath and tried to steady her pace.
Until a rushing river appeared in front of us——
Her heart skipped a beat.
...Wrong choice.
The moment she was forced to stop, Jiang Suiyun felt a strong burning sensation in her lungs. She gasped for breath and her whole body was shaking from running.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Jiang Suiyun's heart beat faster and faster, but there was no road in front of him.
The man with tattoos chased after her with a group of his followers, with a ferocious expression on his face. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked like she had thin arms and legs, could run so fast.
Jiang Suiyun was in a dilemma. If he went forward, he might be carried away by the rapid current, but if he retreated, he would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
She gritted her teeth and pulled the vine to cross the river, but the man with the tattooed arms was quick-witted and grabbed her hair: "If you run again!"
Jiang Suiyun staggered and his scalp hurt terribly.
Forced to follow his movements and retreat.
The man with tattoos was furious, his eyes were red, and he used his rough palm to exert great force and slapped the man hard.
“Bang!”
There was a loud bang.
Jiang Suiyun was hit so hard that his head tilted to one side, the corner of his mouth was cracked, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth.
"Run? Why aren't you running?" the tattooed man spat. "If you don't accept my offer, you'll be punished. If I didn't need the money, I'd be the first to kill you!"
Jiang Suiyun's eyes went dark and his eardrums were buzzing.
The piercing pain hit her, and she trembled all over, feeling hopeless.
She pinched the man's arm with all her might, and with a cruel heart, she dragged him towards the rushing river behind her.
There were bloody scratches on the arms of the man with tattoos.
He hissed in pain, swearing obscenities, and raised his hand to slap again.
At this moment, a figure almost shot out from the woods!
He Chifeng's eyes were terrifying, especially when he saw Jiang Suiyun covered in blood, his eyes instantly filled with surging anger.
He punched the tattooed man on the side of his face, and instantly, the teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.
"ah--"
The man with tattoos screamed.
He Chifeng's appearance was already very oppressive, and now he was furious, making people tremble at his words: "Who told you to touch her? You're looking for death!"
The man with tattoos looked at the man's fist with horror on his face, but before he could react, he punched him again, straight into the abdomen, making him vomit acid mixed with blood.
Seeing this, several other kidnappers immediately rushed forward with knives in hand. He Chifeng dodged the attack, grabbed the knife-wielding hand of one of them, twisted it hard, thrust it into the other's thigh, and struck another's temple with his right elbow. His movements were so fast that afterimages were left.
The rain kept washing away the man's shirt, soaking it and revealing his taut muscles. Blood dripped from his knuckles. He kicked one of them in the chest, and the man flew backwards, hit a tree and slid down.
He Chifeng grabbed the terrified man with tattoos, grabbed his neck, and pushed him into the mud. As he leaned over, his back arched violently, "Which hand hit her?"
"Right, right hand..."
The man with tattooed arms had never felt so desperate. He sobbed in vain, fearing that he would be killed in the next second.
He Chifeng sneered, grabbed his right hand and twisted it so hard that one could almost hear the sound of broken bones. Amidst the shrill screams, the man with tattoos was no longer human. The other kidnappers collapsed in the mud, twitching and begging for mercy frantically.
This scene is really cruel.
He Chifeng shook off the limp limb and turned to walk towards Jiang Suiyun.
Jiang Suiyun was pale to begin with, and now her face was swollen and had red marks on it, which looked scary. She stared at the man in a daze.
The man originally wanted to raise his hand to check her injuries, but seeing that his hands were covered in mud and blood, he stopped and rubbed them with the back of his hand.
He moved very gently, with a dark look in his eyes, but his voice was terrifyingly calmer than before: "Does it hurt?"
He Chifeng almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom on the way here, and only now did he notice that his hands seemed to be shaking slightly.
【Author’s words】
Don't go up the mountain during a rainstorm in real life. Geological disasters are extremely dangerous and often come unexpectedly. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
