Chapter 249 Xu Boxi escapes from trouble
The team continued to go deeper into the mountains and forests. After walking for more than an hour, the two guides were not sure where to go.
"This is the deepest place we have ever been. If we continue forward, we won't know which way we are going."
"Leave the rest to us. Thank you both for leading the way. Now, return the same way you came. Do not linger in the forest, so as not to be affected when a fight breaks out."
The two guides left, and the rest were people who came to this forest for the first time.
When the director was considering dividing the troops into several groups to search in the mountains, Lin Qi came from the end of the team to the front and strode forward in one direction.
"Where are you going? Stop." The director called Lin Qi.
Lin Qi didn't even turn around, "I know which direction there are people."
"How do you know?" asked the director.
However, Lin Qi did not answer and walked faster and faster.
"What's wrong with her?" The director asked Lu Huazhang, his brows twisted into a "川" shape. "You brought this person here, you should keep an eye on him."
"Director, Lin Qi is a person with some metaphysical knowledge. She said she knows someone there, so she must really know. I suggest that we follow her." Lu Huazhang said.
"Metaphysics? We are scientific in our work and handling of cases!" The director wanted to curse.
"Just trust me this time. How can a woman who can give birth to seven excellent children be an ordinary person?" Seeing Lin Qi's back disappearing, Lu Huazhang stamped his feet and said, "Hurry up and let everyone catch up. If you can't find her, I will bear the responsibility."
After saying that, Lu Huazhang immediately ran to chase Lin Qi.
The director gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, follow!"
After hearing the people behind her catch up, Lin Qi continued to move forward at a steady pace. After walking for about an hour, she finally stopped. There was the sound of flowing water and people talking in front of her, both men and women. There were quite a few people, more than three times the number of them.
call--
Lu Huazhang held onto the tree, breathing heavily, "After walking such a long way, your breathing is not disordered at all, amazing!"
Lin Qi glanced at him calmly, then turned to the dense forest in the distance, "They are in that forest, there are more than 300 of them."
"Is this number reliable?" asked Lu Huazhang.
"When did I become unreliable?" Lin Qi asked back.
Lu Huazhang smiled and said, "Not really. The whole Yao County knows that you are the most reliable."
Lin Qi did not comment.
Lu Huazhang turned around and reported to the director.
Some soldiers had already climbed up the trees with binoculars and were using them to observe the dense forest in the distance.
"There are indeed people in the forest ahead, but I only saw one person."
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their heads to look at Lin Qi with surprise in their eyes.
"How does she know there's someone here?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"I've said it before, she has some metaphysics in her." Lu Huazhang said with a smile.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's analyze the terrain and plan an attack strategy."
Lin Qi could have sneaked in quietly to rescue people at this time, but the team's purpose was not just to rescue people, so she suppressed her anxious mood and waited for the director and several superiors to make arrangements.
Orders were issued one after another, and when the soldiers and police officers started to move, Lin Qi followed silently.
The director opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but when he thought of Lin Qi's performance, he closed his mouth again. Never mind, she doesn't seem to be someone who doesn't know the importance of things, so just let her do what she wants, as long as she doesn't hinder their investigation.
Everything was done quietly. At the beginning, Lin Qi was at the back of the team, but soon she came to the front of the team. She was like a civet cat in the forest, coming and going freely, light and agile, as if she had merged into one with the mountains and forests.
They soon lost sight of her. When she reappeared, she threw her name to the two of them, "Stand guard."
After saying that, Lin Qi went back into the forest.
"Captain?" The soldier looked inquiringly.
"First, handcuff them and send them to the director."
"yes."
This was the fourth day that Xu Boxi had been locked up in this cellar. She had been searched and nothing was found except her clothes.
A few days ago, a man sneaked into the cellar and tried to rape her, but she broke several ribs. She was beaten for it, and now her hands and feet are tied, making it almost impossible for her to move.
Those people said she was pretty, young, and looked like a virgin...and said she should be able to be sold for a good price.
After that day, she never saw anyone else except an old lady who brought her food. It was dark here. Besides the exit, there were a few holes for ventilation. Xu Boxi heard some talking and crying. It was not difficult to guess that there were other people imprisoned not far from her.
Xu Boxi's hands were covered in blood. It was her own blood. In the past two days, she had been struggling to pull at the wall with her hands. After much hardship, she finally pulled out a three-finger-wide stone. She ignored the pain in her hands and kept grinding the rope with the stone. After being locked up here, Xu Boxi had only one thought: she had to get out of this trap quickly and pass on the news so that the organization wouldn't tell her parents that she had lost contact and wouldn't let them worry.
Xu Boxi used the stone to grind the rope for a whole day and night, and finally broke it two minutes before the old lady came to deliver lunch. She quickly untied the rope on her legs and hid herself in the darkness, like a lurking cheetah. After the old lady stepped into the cellar, she pounced on her like an arrow from a bow, accurately riding on her back, covering her mouth with one hand and punching her solar plexus with the other hand. After the old lady was dizzy, she chopped her neck with her palm.
The old lady lost consciousness and fell to the ground, and Xu Boxi also fell to the side. In the past few days, these people had not fed her enough, and they also put drugs and sleeping pills in her food. If it weren't for her strong will, she would be drowsy and unconscious most of the day.
After Xu Boxi recovered, she stuffed the old lady's headscarf into her mouth, tied her hands and feet with a rope, and without looking at the food that had fallen on the ground, she walked carefully towards the exit.
It was noon and the man guarding the cellar was eating lunch in the small thatched hut.
When Xu Boxi pushed open the stone slab on the earth's crust and came out, she was not discovered. She carefully bypassed the thatched house and fled into the woods.
After leaving the hut, Xu Boxi avoided two sentries in succession. Just as he was about to rush out of the forest, he heard the conversation between a man and a woman.
"Did a wild boar enter the minefield yesterday?"
"Yes, it was blown up. The wild boar was blown into a bloody mess, leaving only half of the meat. I had to pick it out."
"So you guys had extra food at noon today?"
"yes."
"You didn't even leave me a piece of meat. Don't come to me tonight!"
"After I change my shift, I will go catch a pheasant for you and roast it for you."
"Wait until you catch him."
“........”
The man coaxed the woman and they went further and further away.
Minefield? Landmine?
Xu Boxi frowned. If there were landmines buried on the ground, it would be too dangerous for her to rush out like this. What should she do?
Just when Xu Boxi was hesitating, a green vine suddenly wrapped around her calf. Xu Boxi was startled and thought it was a snake, so she subconsciously wanted to shake it off. However, when she looked down and saw the bright green, her pupils suddenly dilated and a look of surprise appeared on her face. It was her mother!
Xu Boxi's eyes turned red. She wanted to bend down to touch the vine, but before she could bend down, the vine climbed up her legs to her waist and wrapped around her waist.
The next second, she was off the ground, carried by the vines and moving quickly in the forest. In the blink of an eye, she was out of the forest.
The moment the vines withdrew from her body, she fell into a warm, soft embrace. Smelling the familiar scent of grass and trees, Xu Boxi's tears welled up, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Your uncle Huazhang said you lost contact, so I came here with them." Lin Qi held her daughter in her arms and rubbed her daughter's furry head with her chin. Her heart, which had been hanging for more than ten hours, finally settled down.
"Uncle Hua Zhang and the others are here too. Please take me to see him quickly. There are mines in the forest and I have to tell them the news." Xu Boxi said nervously.
"Okay, I'll take you there right away."
Lin Qi knew her daughter was anxious, so she kept speeding up and brought her daughter to Lu Huazhang in less than two minutes. Lu Huazhang only noticed a dark shadow coming, and before he could see what it was, he heard a familiar voice, "Uncle Huazhang, there are mines buried in the forest, please tell everyone to be careful."
As Xu Boxi finished speaking, the people present also saw her appearance clearly, and saw Lin Qi holding Xu Boxi horizontally.
"There are mines? In which area?" the director asked quickly.
"I don't know. I just heard them say that a wild boar ran into a minefield yesterday and was killed."
"I'll take people to inform them right away." Lu Huazhang said, and immediately took people away.
The director looked anxiously at the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Mom, do you have any way to help Uncle Huazhang and the others?" Xu Boxi asked.
"Yes, there is." Lin Qi said calmly.
Xu Boxi was delighted and said, "Then go and have a look."
Lin Qi put Xu Boxi down and said, "Wait for mom here. I'll be back soon."
"Mom, some people are locked in the cellar, please go and help them." Xu Boxi took the opportunity to make another request.
"Okay, Mom will come to rescue you. Any other requests?"
"Not for now. Mom, be careful."
"Okay, Mom knows."
"Do you trust your mother so much?" After Lin Qi left, the director couldn't help but ask Xu Boxi.
Xu Boxi nodded, "Of course, my mother is the best, even better than my father."
"Oh?" The director raised his eyebrows, "What's so great about her?"
"Mom is amazing in every way." Xu Boxi didn't say it clearly and changed the subject, "Director, I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
The director looked at Xu Boxi's pointed chin and her big eyes that almost took up one-third of her face. He hadn't seen her for just a few days, and the girl had lost so much weight.
The director felt so distressed that he took out a can of food, a bottle of water and a compressed biscuit and said, "Eat slowly and don't choke."
