Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 582 Counterattack

I had been pretending to cooperate, just waiting for this opportunity. I had a piece of bent wire hidden on my body that the other party had not found. This kind of handcuffs is not difficult to open, the difficult part is how to open it at that moment, and it depends more on luck.

As it turned out, luck was on my side this time. Not long after I took Jiang Zhaoxue hostage and hid in the tea field, several figures suddenly appeared around us. At a glance, there were probably seven or eight people.

The tea field is very large, but the tea trees are only about one meter tall. I didn't dare to stand, so I could only squat and look at the flashlights that were swaying and approaching.

Suddenly, I felt a hint of coolness on my head, and it started to drizzle at this time.

"He can't run away! There's only one way down the mountain! Uncle Jiang has people guarding it!"

"You guys go to the east! Everyone else follow me and search the west! Keep your eyes open and watch carefully! Don't shoot recklessly! If anyone dares to accidentally hurt the young lady, you know the consequences!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the two teams disperse, I lowered my voice and threatened, "Miss Jiang, people in this situation can do anything. Don't make a sound, don't force me. If you understand, put your hands down."

She raised her left hand.

next second.

I immediately covered her mouth.

"I told you not to scream! Do you want to die?" I threatened with red eyes.

"There must be more than one way down the mountain here! Lead me there!"

She pointed to her mouth.

I let her go.

She gasped for breath again, coughed a few times, and said with a painful expression, "You...you hurt me. I can't see, how can I help you lead the way?"

"You can't be trusted, woman. Who knows if you're just pretending to be blind? No matter what tricks your Jiang family has up their sleeves! I swear to God, if I can't escape, I'll definitely drag you down with me before I die!"

"Lead the way!" I grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up.

I can't see what I look like, but I imagine it must be scary.

I almost had a mental breakdown during this period, especially after I found out that I was the "mole", I became even more panicked and worried, and I was afraid that I would drag the entire team into trouble.

Jiang Zhaoxue told me a lot of secrets. No matter what her purpose is, as long as she is in my hands, she will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. Don't underestimate me.

The boss may be on his way here. I have to contact him and tell him these secrets before he finds me.

Jiang Zhaoxue's breathing gradually became smoother, and she whispered, "Go east. There's a walnut tree at the end of the tea field. There's a path there that leads down the mountain."

"You'd better not lie to me."

She shook her head: "I was careless. I didn't expect you to dare to do this to me. In this situation, there is no need for me to gamble my life with you."

"go!"

Afraid that she would escape, I bent down and held her hostage under the cover of the tea trees and ran towards the east.

It is now the second half of the night, and with the sparse moonlight, I can barely see the road under my feet.

Not long after, I really saw the walnut tree she mentioned in the distance.

Not far from the walnut tree, there is indeed a winding path extending downwards.

Just then, a flashlight came from a distance and hit my face.

I saw several dark shadows shouting loudly and surrounding me.

"Stop! Don't run!"

In a panic, I pushed Jiang Zhaoxue forward.

She really couldn't see, and she staggered two steps and fell down.

"Miss!"

I started running, sprinting down the mountain.

It’s better to say “sliding” than running.

I felt like I would have died here if I was even a second slower. I heard gunshots right next to my ears, like the sound of firecrackers in the dark. I was so scared that I almost slid down the mountain.

His elbows were cut by rocks and his face was scratched by branches, and he rolled and crawled down the mountain.

He looked at the surrounding terrain, glanced at the position of the moon, and ran in one direction.

I ran as hard as I could.

The rain was getting heavier at this time, and I accidentally fell a few times. The rain mixed with sweat gradually blurred my vision.

When people are in a highly nervous state, they will lose the concept of time. I don’t know how long I ran until I saw a few scattered and faint lights in front of me.

This is an unknown small village with perhaps a hundred households, and every door was closed. I ran into the village and found a place to shelter from the rain, and only then did I dare to rest for a moment.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. I curled up in the corner, watching the raindrops falling in the darkness, telling myself to calm down and not panic. This was what my boss often taught me.

I thought to myself, “Could there be such a possibility?”

The Jiang family let Brother Yu go back in order to use him to inform the headman, and the headman may have guessed that this was a secret plan by the Jiang family, so the headman will not come tonight, but choose to find a place to hide and secretly plan a countermeasure. Then, after Jiang Zhaoxue learned of the headman's idea, she decided to find a chance to let me escape. Once I contact the headman, she can use me as bait to find the headman.

Listening to the sound of the sparse rain, I became more and more scared.

If that's the case, then she has only one goal.

It's the boss.

But if I think about it from another perspective, what if the leader doesn't see through this trap, and he brings people to rescue me following the clues left by the Jiang family in advance?

I could figure it out because I met Jiang Zhaoxue, but the boss didn't know the Jiang family's secret yet.

My whole body ached, I felt cold and sleepy, especially my left calf. I might have strained it while running just now. After I sat down to rest for a while, my calf hurt even more.

I decided to hide here until the rain subsided before making any plans.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Just as I closed my eyes, I heard the sound of a door opening.

I saw a villager in his forties or fifties wearing slippers, holding a black umbrella, and carrying a red urine pot in one hand.

Eyes facing each other.

The other person was startled and dropped the urinal on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, brother. I'm just taking shelter from the rain here."

"Shelter from...shelter from the rain? Where are you from?"

The other person had a distinct local accent, so I stood up and explained, "My friend and I are traveling from out of town. We got separated yesterday, lost our phone, and got lost in the mountains. Could you lend me your phone so I can call my friend and ask him to pick me up?"

"I can make a phone call, but why are you so injured?"

"They're all minor injuries, scratched while walking down the mountain in the dark."

"Then don't stay here. It's so cold. Let's go inside and avoid the rain."

After following the person into the house, I looked around nervously.

I was still on edge, fearing that the Jiang family was also ambushing here.

Seeing that I was frightened, my brother handed me a towel and asked me to wipe myself. Only then did I see that there was a child about ten years old sleeping soundly on the bed.

"I haven't used this phone in a long time. Can you see if it works?"

He was using a very old Nikon flip camera, probably from ten years ago, and it had an antenna.

"Thanks, big brother. I'll go play in the yard. Don't wake up your kids."

He said yes.

When I got to the yard, I entered a number and dialed it.

"Which one?"

"Brother Chaosheng, it's me."

"Brother Yunfeng, where are you?"

"I don't know where I am either. I just borrowed my phone from someone. Listen to me first. Are you with the boss right now?"

"No, but I know something happened to you."

"Chaosheng, this is a serious matter. I have limited time, and I can't explain it in a few words over the phone. Let's meet and discuss it in detail."

On the phone, Chaosheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother, I don't quite believe you right now."

"You have to trust me! Chaosheng, I called you first instead of the boss, which proves that I trust you! I already know the secret of the person behind the scenes! We must trust each other to get through this difficult time!"

"You still don't understand. The other party is very powerful! If we don't completely eliminate them, even your Southern Jie family will be in trouble! Haven't you always wanted to know why your great-grandfather died in Zukengyuan? I'll tell you the reason after we meet!"

After a brief silence, Chao Sheng's deep voice came: "Just you and me, let's pick a place."

I looked back and lowered my voice, "Do you remember where we ate fish? Let's meet there."
