In the darkness of night, I was suddenly taken hostage. I was immediately startled, and before I could resist, I felt another person rush up and grab my arm.
Feeling the dampness of the handkerchief and smelling its pungent odor, I instantly realized it was soaked in a sedative. I immediately held my breath and began to relax my body, creating the illusion that I was drugged.
Just as I felt myself struggling to breathe, the two men dragged me to the back of the house. One of them patted my cheek and said, "You're dizzy!"
When I heard this person speaking Chinese, I was immediately stunned.
This is a completely unfamiliar voice.
In other words, there is a second group of Chinese people in this settlement, and it is very likely that it is Qu Ruilin and his group.
Upon hearing this, the person responsible for drugging me knocked me out, knocked me to the ground, and continued to cover my face with the handkerchief.
I calmly gripped the bayonet at my waist, ready to retaliate, when I heard someone ask their companion, "Did they say what to do with him?"
Judging from what this person said, they seemed to have come specifically for me. In order to get useful clues, I gently blew a breath, causing the handkerchief to tilt to the side, took a breath at the right moment, and continued to remain silent.
The man's companion kicked me: "Uncle Tian means not to kill anyone, but also to prevent them from entering Xishan. At least we have to drug everyone in the house."
Uncle Tian?
When I heard this name, I was completely baffled.
After thinking it over, I couldn't recall this name, so this person must not be from the Wei family. Could it be from the Qu family?
"Knocking them out is easy, but in this desolate wilderness, they're forbidden from hurting anyone or entering the mountains? That's ridiculous!"
The person who had drugged me became somewhat agitated: "This is Russian territory. If we leave them here, these guys will definitely try to escape. Uncle Tian is such a smart man, how could he make such a hasty decision this time?"
"You're just eating from someone else's bowl, why are you spouting so much nonsense!" his companion snapped impatiently, then changed the subject, saying, "How about this, let's subdue them all first, then you take two people and stay behind to watch them, I'll continue into the mountains!"
"Nonsense! It's too dangerous in the mountains!"
"Stop talking nonsense, it's decided! Give me the handcuffs!"
As the two were talking, I heard the clinking of handcuffs, and then someone grabbed my hand.
"Pfft!"
I suddenly sprang up and slashed the man's leg with my knife, then got up and ran without saying a word.
"Damn! This brat didn't faint!"
The man who had been stabbed lunged at me while cursing and grabbed my clothes.
"Bang!"
I punched him to the ground with a backhand slap and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Third Master! Monkey! Come out quickly! There's danger here!"
"Woof woof woof!"
When I yelled like that, all the hunting dogs on the street started barking wildly.
Hearing me yell, the other guy glared at me and charged at me, yelling, "You fucking want to die!"
Desperate to survive, especially after hearing them say they would stop me from going into the mountains, I disregarded everything and stabbed him in the abdomen.
The guy opposite me was a trained fighter. He saw my shoulder tremble and anticipated it, dodging my attack by sidestepping. He grabbed my wrist with one hand and delivered a knee strike to my stomach.
This powerful blow instantly rendered me unable to fight. I instinctively arched my body, but still instinctively hooked my foot at his ankle, trying to trip him.
But just as I kicked out, I felt a wave of dizziness and my body went limp.
Although I had been holding my breath the whole time, I still underestimated the effectiveness of their drug.
"Gulp!"
The other person then pressed me to the ground and pinned me down, followed by a chop to my neck.
"Bang!"
Just then, Song Laosan, who had rushed over after hearing the noise, kicked the man off me, and the two of them started fighting.
Seeing them entangled, the man with the knife wound in his leg picked up a stone and limped towards Song Laosan.
Seeing the man's movements, I don't know where I got the strength, but I suddenly sprang up from the ground, tackled him to the ground, and started raining punches on him.
At this point, my vision was blurry, and I felt like I had punched the ground several times.
In the midst of the chaos, I vaguely heard footsteps behind me, and then I was kicked to the ground.
Turning around, I saw four or five more people in the alley, but I couldn't make out their faces in the darkness.
"Damn it! I'll kill you all!"
At that moment, the monkey's roar also came out, followed by a roar from the alley entrance that was a mixture of Chinese and Russian.
Faced with the sudden chaos, I struggled to get up, but the effects of the drug were getting stronger and stronger. In a daze, I was kicked on the head and completely lost my fighting ability. Although I could hear the sounds around me, my body was paralyzed and I couldn't move at all.
Thump!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, followed by the frantic barking of a large pack of hunting dogs.
"withdraw!"
Hearing the sounds getting closer, Song Laosan kicked one of his opponents to the ground, rushed over, hoisted me onto his shoulder, and dashed out of the alley first.
After everyone had run some distance, the monkey looked back and said, "Third Master, they didn't catch up!"
"We can't stay here either. None of us have legal status, and we've caused trouble here. If we get targeted, we'll be in big trouble!"
Song Laosan made a decision instantly: "Leave here and head straight into the mountains."
Zhou Peng stumbled along behind, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy: "My body can't hold on any longer!"
Without turning his head, Song Laosan shouted, "Hold on, I have medicine in my bag!"
Then, Ivan ran to Song Laosan's side, took me from him, and carried me on his back.
Throughout the process, I was in a daze, being carried by them into the surrounding jungle.
It wasn't until Song Laosan wiped my face with cold water that I felt some sensation return to my body, but I still felt as if all my strength had been drained.
Led by Sasha, we all smeared mud on ourselves to avoid being tracked by the hunting dogs.
In a sheltered ravine in the woods, I sat by the campfire, stretching my arms, and asked Song Laosan, "Have you ever heard of someone called Uncle Tian?"
"Uncle Tian?" Old Man Song asked, somewhat puzzled. "Do you know his full name?"
I shook my head: "I don't know, but when I was being held hostage, I overheard their conversation. They were sent by a man called Uncle Tian, and their purpose was to prevent us from entering the mountain."
"So, we're being watched?" The monkey sat up straight. "Is that even a question? They're definitely from the other two sects!"
“I think so too, but they probably weren’t watching us the whole time, they just happened to run into us here!” Old Song raised an eyebrow and said, “When they encountered the tiger last night, it was at the foot of our mountain, and the distance they traveled was basically the same. This Uncle Tian is very likely a member of their group!”
