Chapter Four The Basement

Everyone was stunned by the question. Taking advantage of this fleeting moment of less than a second, Cao Shi threw something towards the lamp above his head, then ducked down at a speed that the naked eye could barely keep up with, and shouted:

One word: run!

My reaction was quite quick. The lights in the room were turned off by Cao Shi, and it suddenly became dark. This situation should be considered the most advantageous for us. The other party could not distinguish the target in the dark and did not dare to shoot at will.

We would have the opportunity to rush to the open space outside and escape. As for whether we would be knocked down by people outside the house, it was no longer within the scope of consideration. At least there would be a way to survive if we rushed out, but staying in the house would definitely mean death.

The window of the hut was covered with newspapers. I judged the direction by feeling, and then I rushed out with a held breath. Fortunately, my body almost wiped the edge of the window when I went out. If it had been a little farther away, I would probably have

You have to hit your head against the wall.

The gloomy weather helped us a lot. It was not much brighter outside than inside the house. The area around the hut was in chaos, and there were confused figures swaying back and forth everywhere. As soon as I got out of the house, I ducked down first, and there was a loud bang next to me.

sound, and then heard a sullen face shouting: "Don't shoot!"

Why are you being kind at this time? I didn’t dare to think too much, so I almost crawled out of the way for more than ten meters. Cao Shi and the others could no longer be seen in the chaos, and now I could only find a way out on my own.

Our car was parked nearby. I originally wanted to sneak into the car and start the car and escape, but unfortunately the car keys were not with me.

I had almost reached the car, so I had no choice but to bear the pain and escape somewhere else. Our current location is probably at the foot of Wonsan Mountain. If we were to escape, there would be a large open space, which is not conducive to hiding. We could only head towards Wonsan Mountain.

Run deep and use the weather and terrain to get out of trouble.

This is not a hide-and-seek game, but a real escape. I kept my body as low as possible while observing the movements on the left and right. There were people from the other side searching aimlessly in the distance. I ran out of breath.

But I didn't dare to stop at any time, so I walked deeper along the road up the mountain using my hands and feet.

It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly what was happening just a few steps away. I gritted my teeth and ran away into the mountains, cursing my gloomy face in my heart. Fortunately, as I went deeper into the mountains, I could hear the sounds of people around me.

The figures of people gradually disappeared, which meant that I was getting further and further away from danger.

Even so, I still didn't dare to be careless, so I made a circle in the mountains, and then ran northeast along the mountains. Although the journey was far away, as long as I knew the direction, I could approach the suburban road, hail a car and return to Jiangbei.

There were no other unexpected situations after that. When I saw the old man, I really felt like I was reincarnated. What was unexpected was that, after such a big thing happened, the old man unusually did not lose his temper, but his tone was slightly

He said eagerly that Cao Shi came back two hours ago and has now taken people to Yuanshan again.

Before I had time to ask anything, the old man went on to say that he wanted me to immediately gather all the people I could mobilize, and then join Cao Shi and search for Cao Shuang's whereabouts near Yuanshan.

I understood what the old man meant as soon as I heard it. What happened yesterday happened at the end of the transaction. The goods and rubbings were all on Cao Shuang. What had happened had already happened and there was no way to undo it. But no matter what, we had to find Cao Shuang and get the goods and copies back.

rubbings.

I don’t yet know what the bronze is used for, but in the old man’s heart, its weight is obvious. So without saying anything, I turned around and was about to go out to mobilize people. The old man stopped me and spit out eight words through his teeth.

: You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.

I nodded and used the fastest speed to gather all the people who could be drawn from the stall and drag them to Yuanshan. By the time I arrived, the people led by Cao Shi had already cleaned up the place where the incident happened last night.

.

Cao Shi knew my temper, so as soon as we met, he said, "Let's go find Gemini separately. We'll talk about other things later on the way."

"Okay, let's find someone first."

Like the situation last night, if Cao Shuang successfully escaped from the hut, he would most likely be like me, abandoning the open space outside the mountain and escaping from the complex terrain of the mountain. Cao Shi only left a small number of people behind.

Outside the mountain, the rest divided into several roads to enter the mountain. The two of us led a dozen people from the foot of the mountain and followed the route I took to escape last night deep into Yuanshan. Cao Shi told me about the general process while walking.

It is said that Yin Shen Lian's gang did a very good job and basically left no one alive. Almost all the people we brought yesterday died. There were corpses everywhere at the foot of the mountain, but Cao Shuang was not found.

According to normal speculation, Cao Shuang has two endings, dead or escaping. However, judging from the current situation, he is more likely to survive. So I said to Cao Shi: "Old Cao, will you?"

Could it be that the twins were injured and fled into the mountains with their injuries, only to be unable to walk?"

Cao Shi's face looked very ugly. He sighed softly and said, "I hope so."

Everyone knew that something big had happened last night, and no one dared to say anything along the way. I had been running for such a long time, and now I was in the mountains again. My physical strength was obviously not up to par, and my legs felt like they were filled with lead.

Dead and heavy. Cao Shi is just like me, but he is strong and misses his younger brother in his heart, so he rushes in a hurry. I dare not hold everyone back, so I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

We searched for four hours and found nothing. Cao Shi saw that I couldn't hold on any longer, so he told me to take a rest after climbing over a hill in front of me.

When we climbed to the top of the mountain desperately, a building attracted everyone's attention. After a few glances, I knew that this must be a stone processing factory. There are at least two or three stone processing factories in Wonsan Mountain. Usually,

Most of the people who come in and out here are people from the stone quarry.

However, the stone quarry in front of me seemed to be abandoned, not a single person could be seen, and the grass inside and outside the courtyard was very lush. Cao Shi sent two people down to take a look, and the rest were resting in place. At this time, I was completely in a state of panic.

I was in a state of severe physical exhaustion, and when I sat down I felt like all the bones in my body were almost falling apart.

The two people who were going down the mountain hurried back before entering the stone quarry. They said that there were several lines of car tire tracks in the grass, which looked very new.

If this stone quarry is really abandoned, then the fresh car tire marks are a bit suspicious. Wonsan is really too big, and trying to find a person in it is undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, so even if there is the slightest clue, you can't miss it.

Cao Shi immediately ordered everyone to set off towards the stone quarry.

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped onto the relatively flat mountain ground below the mountain, everyone saw a few lines of tire tracks extending from the mountain road not far away to the gate of the stone quarry. Cao Shi divided the people into three groups, and slowly and orderly

Approaching the stone quarry, I was afraid that if another accident happened, I would be blamed.

The factory was indeed abandoned, and it was estimated that it had been abandoned for a long time. From the outside, everything looked normal. We hid in the grass and observed for a long time, but there was no movement. Cao Shi sent four people in to check out the situation.

After a long time, the four people came back. They said that no one was in the factory, but they found a few water bottles and cigarette butts, which seemed to have been thrown away not long ago.

Cao Shi pondered for a moment, left a few lookouts outside the door, and then personally led people into the yard and searched the entire factory thoroughly. Someone found a basement hidden behind the iron door. Because it was too dark down there and the situation was unknown,

So he didn't dare to act rashly. After everyone had searched other places, Cao Shi gathered everyone together, briefly divided the work, and arranged for two people to go into the basement to take a look.

If this search for Cao Shuang is fruitless, it will definitely not be justified in front of the old man, so we have thought carefully and are prepared to work overtime. We have brought a lot of food, water and necessary equipment, and lighting tools are also prepared.

It was quite sufficient. The two men opened the iron door with flashlights and went down to take a look. A few minutes later, they came up with a report: There was a body in the basement.

Cao Shi immediately became nervous and asked, "Are they twins?"

"I can't see clearly, but they shouldn't be twins."

Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, then left someone on guard at the door while he followed the message and entered the basement.

I have a lot of bad habits, and being curious about everything is one of the worst. I eat a lot of food, but I just don’t have a long memory. When I heard that there was a dead person below, my heart started to itch again. As soon as Cao Shi moved, I couldn’t help but pull my legs out too.

Followed.

The structure of this basement is very simple. Behind the door are steps that slope down. At the end of the steps, turn to the left and you will see the main part of the basement. The light cannot reach it at all and it is pitch black. All lighting needs to be done by flashlights. The two people who came down earlier used flashlights.

He took a look at the position at the base of the east wall, turned around and said to Cao Shi, "Brother Shi, the body is right there."

The naked body was lying prone at the base of the wall. Although there were spots on the body, there was no sign of decay at all. It should have been dead for a short time. Someone turned the body over and took a look. The deceased was an old man, and he looked older than the old man.

.Except for the corpse, the entire basement was empty. I was a little confused, how could such an old person die in the remote Yuanshan Mountain?

Although the corpse found in the basement was a bit strange, it was definitely not Cao Shuang. We have business to do right now and don’t have the time or energy to discuss this issue. Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and stood there with a frown on his face, staring at the corpse.

It wasn't until someone asked him what to do that he came back to his senses, sighed softly, and said, "Take the body out and bury it. If the body is really discovered by others, there will probably be trouble."

Cao Shi was very useful and trusted under the old man, so everyone under the old man listened to him. Someone immediately ran up to find a place to dig a hole to bury the body. Cao Shi and I took a brief look at the basement before returning to the ground and talking to each other.

We talked for a few words. In fact, I really wanted to ask Cao Shi about the transaction, but there were other people around, and he would never reveal the details in person.

After digging the hole, two people carried the body from the basement and prepared to bury it. When they reached the steps, Cao Shi suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

"Brother Shi, what's wrong?"

Cao Shi seemed to be a little abnormal. He didn't know what to say after stopping the person. After stopping for two minutes, he waved his hand: "It's okay. You can go ahead."

"Old Cao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Cao Shi took out a cigarette and gave me a cigarette. After we lit it, we smoked and looked at the place where the people were buried. Many of the old man's men had been in the pit. They were very courageous and were not afraid of death at all. At this time, three or four people

Everyone gathered around the pit in the distance and filled the pit together.

Cao Shi's brows frowned more and more, and he suddenly dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and ran towards the place where the body was buried. I didn't know what happened, so I hurriedly followed him.

"dig out the body." Cao Shi said to the people who were filling the soil.

"Brother Shi, this..." one person asked in confusion: "The pit is almost filled..."

"Stop talking nonsense, dig it out!" Cao Shi emphasized his tone. A few people did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly began to dig out the soil again. Soon, the pale body appeared in front of us again.

Cao Shi jumped into the pit, looked at the corpse carefully for a while, then suddenly reached out and lifted the upper lip of the corpse, then turned back to me and said, "Master Tian, ​​you saw it, right?"

I felt very strange about Cao Shi's behavior. After listening to his words, I couldn't help but squat by the pit, followed the direction of his finger, and took a look at the body.

Suddenly, an extremely biting chill came from the soles of my feet, and the goose bumps that had disappeared quickly reappeared all over my body. This corpse!?

How is that possible?
