After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

Although Tong Jia, Yang Jixia and Tian Ma were all carrying weapons, they tacitly chose not to resist as they were outnumbered.

They were obediently taken to the base camp on the mountain by those people.

The layout here is very similar to the bandit's lair that Tong Jia had seen in TV dramas before, and in fact it is indeed so.

Just as she expected, men and women were detained separately.

In fact, not only were the men and women separated, but Tong Jia and Rong Xinzhi were also kidnapped and taken to different rooms.

Because Tian Ma was older, she was also locked up in a cell like Yang Jixia and Tao Junle, but not in a prison cell.

As for their luggage, it was all stored in the warehouse.

Perhaps these bandits thought they were ordinary people and did not search them carefully. The weapons hidden on Yang Jixia and Tian Ma were still there, and the food in Tao Junle's bag was not touched.

Having witnessed the power of the drugs in Tong Jia's RV, Tao Junle is not worried about Tong Jia's safety now.

He was only worried that there were too many bandits and Tong Jia's secret would be exposed.

If you have treasure, there will always be hungry wolves eyeing you.

He glanced at Yang Jixia, then looked outside, and his hand involuntarily tightened the strap of his shoulder bag. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart: If Tong Jia's secret was exposed, he must help Tong Jia get rid of those who knew her secret.

Yang Jixia didn't know what he was thinking. He just saw him standing there with his hands tightly gripping the shoulder bag straps, and thought he was scared.

I put my hands on his shoulders and whispered, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out."

Tao Junle nodded. He didn’t believe Yang Jixia, but Tong Jia.

On the other side, Tong Jia, who was taken to a room with her hands tied behind her back and her mouth gagged, was trying hard to cut the ropes that bound her with a knife.

Although the rope was thick, the paper cutter in her RV was still very sharp.

The rope was cut quickly. After the rope fell off, Tong Jia took the cloth out of his mouth and spat twice on the ground.

"I don't know where they found this piece of cloth, it smells so bad, ugh, ugh, ugh..." It was so disgusting that she spat several times.

Just then, she heard a noise coming from outside.

Someone said flatteringly, "Boss, there aren't many valuable things in the batch of goods that Sixth Brother sent today, but there are two pretty good-looking young ladies.

I picked out the most iconic and exciting one for you, big brother. Judging from the way it walks, it should still be a chick. I have already sent it into your house, big brother. Enjoy it.

Wait till it’s done…”

"Don't worry, when I've had enough fun, you guys will definitely get some benefits. Then you can do whatever you want with me, hahahaha..." another arrogant and disgusting voice answered.

Tong Jia took out the sleeping pills and prepared to spray them as soon as the people outside came in.

But then she thought, she didn't know where the others were. If she knocked all the bandits out, she would have to find Tao Junle and the others by herself.

In TV dramas and novels, these kinds of strongholds are usually full of traps. It would be a waste of time to rely on yourself to figure things out without anyone familiar to lead you.

Thinking of this, she put away the sleeping pills and replaced them with pain powder and itching powder.

But after seeing the two burly figures projected on the door, she decided to use the drug first.

It's not possible without that. These two guys are too big. If they lose their minds due to the double stimulation of pain and itchiness and suddenly punch me, I won't be able to bear it.

As soon as the door opened, Tong Jia sprinkled the sleeping pills out, and before the two men could react, they fell to the ground.

Tong Jia dragged the two men into the house and searched all their pockets one by one.

I found a bunch of keys, a fine Hetian jade pendant, a cloth bag full of gold melon seeds and more than thirty silver dollars.

Tong Jia first tried to open all the locked items in the room with the key chain. Finally, all the locks were opened, but there were still two keys on the key chain that did not have corresponding locks.

Tong Jia put all the valuable but space-saving items in the house into the RV before looking for the secret room in the house.

The secret room is not difficult to find, the entrance is behind a portrait of Guan Gong.

As long as you take down the portrait of Guan Gong, the entrance will open naturally.

The secret room doesn't look big, only about 20 square meters.

When I walked in, I saw more than twenty large wooden boxes. Because there were so many things, they were all open, and all kinds of jewelry were piled up on the top.

There is a door at the back of the box, and the keyhole is at the highest point of the pile of boxes.

Tong Jia tried the last two keys in her hand, one of which was the key to this door.

When I opened the door, I saw neatly arranged gold bricks inside.

Tong Jia looked at the gold bricks, then looked back at the jewelry outside, and then thought about the space in the RV. After struggling for a long time, she was reluctant to give up any of them. In the end, she could only choose to throw away some clothes in the RV and only keep the function of the bathroom on the first floor, and use the second floor for storage.

If she wasn't worried about affecting the efficacy of the medicine, she would have wanted to make use of the empty space in the medicine cabinet.

After collecting the gold bricks, she discovered that the secret room within the secret room was only half the size of the outside one.

When I walked out, I found a protrusion on the back wall that looked like a light switch.

Tong Jia pressed it and found that the other wall of the secret room she entered at the beginning had actually risen.

When I walked in, I saw that it was a small interrogation room. It was the largest of the three secret rooms within the secret room, with an area of nearly 60 square meters.

All kinds of torture are available there, including ropes, shackles and handcuffs, tiger benches, pepper spray, stoves and irons.

Among them, the most numerous and most complete are ropes, including thick, thin, straw-woven, rattan-wrapped, twisted cloth, hemp rope...even plastic ones.

In addition to these torture instruments, there was also a set of tables and chairs and a bed.

The drawer on the table was locked, and Tong Jia used the last key and finally opened it.

Apart from a small wooden box and a stainless steel lunch box, the rest were keys to the corresponding numbered handcuffs and shackles.

Inside the small wooden box are some injectable drugs similar to adrenaline.

Inside the stainless steel lunch box are glass syringes of different sizes and needles of different thicknesses stuck in gauze.

Tong Jia instinctively felt that these things would be of great use in the future, so she put them all in the RV.

After collecting these things, her people also entered the RV.

Thinking that there were two bicycles that could be hung outside the car, Tong Jia felt that these things should mainly come into contact with the RV, so they could be stored inside.

So he used the rope he found in the bandit boss's house to tie the two boxes together and hung them outside the RV.

After testing, it is indeed feasible.

She put all the copied food and drinks in a box and hung it outside with a rope.

This frees up a lot of space in the car.

After cleaning up, Tong Jia estimated that the time was about up, so he left the RV and shot each of the two men on the ground with a silenced pistol. Then he left the room with the drug in one hand and the silenced pistol in the other.

There was no one in the two adjacent rooms, and there were many valuable items hidden in the beds and cabinets. Tong Jia took them all.

Walk further out and you will reach the lobby of the village.

Tong Jia didn't dare to show up immediately. She stood at a distance and observed. There were only three or four people scattered in the hall.

Tong Jia spread some sleeping pills and knocked all these people out.

"Ah... Help!" Suddenly a shrill scream came from behind Tong Jia, scaring Tong Jia.

Looking back, I saw an old lady with gray hair.

Based on the principle that it is better to "kill by mistake" than to "miss" someone, Tong Jia also sprinkled some sleeping pills on the old lady.

The four people in the hall didn't have anything important on them.

Instead, they found something useful on the screaming old lady - a map of the mountain village.

Just as she took out the map, she heard another scream.

This time it was a little girl who shouted, "Old lady, someone come here..."

Before he could finish his words, Tong Jia knocked him down.

After that, more than ten bandits heard the noise and ran towards the hall.

Tong Jia drugged everyone and shot each of them.

Except for the old lady and the little girl who screamed.

Tong Jia would not feel guilty about killing the bandits, but she was unsure about the identities of these two people.

They should be part of the bandits. Even if the old lady didn't do anything harmful herself, she was still a beneficiary.

What about the little girl? She could be an accomplice, or a former victim.

Tong Jia tied the two of them to the pillars in the living room, sprinkled some forgetfulness powder on them, and then went to the dungeon according to the map.

When she passed by the kitchen on the way, she wanted to collect some fresh ingredients, but they were mostly bacon and sausages. Tong Jia was not interested and gave up.

After dealing with the guards at the dungeon door, he took the keys from them, opened the door, and just happened to see Tian Ma who was locked up in the cell outside.

After rescuing Tian Ma, under Tian Ma's leadership, Yang Jixia and Tao Junle were rescued.

"Where is Rong Xinzhi? Isn't she locked up with you?" Tong Jia realized that one person was missing after confirming that the three people in front of her were not injured.

Tian Ma said: "No, I am the only woman here."

Yang Jixia said: "We all thought that you two were imprisoned together."

“No, I was tied up and sent to their boss’ room.

I was alone here, and I thought she was with you guys." Tong Jia shook her head, feeling that the situation was getting a bit tricky.

Yang Jixia said: "Don't worry, don't you have a copycat map?

You and Tian Ma take Lele to the river first. Give me the map and I'll go find my sister-in-law."

Tong Jia shook her head. If she had known that Rong Xinzhi was not locked up with Yang Jixia and the others, she would not have wasted so much time packing things. She would have definitely gone to find Rong Xinzhi first.

If Rong Xinzhi had received the same treatment as her, then everything that should and should not have happened would have already happened.

Letting Yang Jixia go find someone might stimulate Rong Xinzhi even more.

She said, "As for Xiaozhi... I or Tian Ma have to comfort her. I don't have much sense of direction, and Lele is young. We won't be able to get out alone."

You take Lele to their warehouse, find our luggage first, and then wait for us by the river.

Tian Ma and I will go look for Xiaozhi and bring her over directly after we find her."

Yang Jixia looked at the pistol in Tian Ma's hand and the dagger in her sleeve, and agreed with Tong Jia's statement.

The warehouse was still at the back of the dungeon, and Rong Xinzhi was eighty percent in the room in front, so the two groups separated.

But Tong Jia and Tian Ma searched all the rooms but couldn't find Rong Xinzhi.

When I walked into the hall, I found that the old lady who was tied to the pillar was gone, and the little girl who was tied with her was lying on the ground without any breath.

Tong Jia immediately ran to the room where she had locked herself up before. The two bodies were still there on the floor, but the Guan Gong statue that she had restored and hung back in its original place was gone.

Tian's mother chased after her and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Did you find any clues?"

Before Tong Jia could answer, footsteps were heard outside.

One of the two men pulled the safety on his pistol, while the other prepared a paper cutter.

The people who came running over were Yang Jixia and Tao Junle.

Yang Jixia panted and said, "The warehouse... the warehouse is empty, and the boat by the river... is gone too."

"For a fort this size, not to mention the people, even the things in the warehouses cannot be loaded into a single ship.

Could it be that more than two or three people ran away?" Tong Jia analyzed.

"Do they have a backup copy?" asked Tian's mother.

Yang Jixia said: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even if it is not a mountain stronghold, it should be an emergency place to stay.

They probably left the bodies in the hall behind on purpose, hoping to intimidate us or to frame us with evidence of murder.

If those bad guys complain first, we won’t be able to explain ourselves even if we have a mouth all over our bodies.

For now, we can only leave here as soon as possible and then discuss finding someone."

Tong Jia said, "Let's search again, room by room, to see if there are any secret rooms or passages where people can hide.

By the way, let's see if there are any handy tools. Since the boat is gone, we have to rely on ourselves to make a boat if we want to leave."

Yang Jixia and Tao Junle nodded.

Tao Junle stood beside Tong Jia and refused to leave her side no matter what. So Tian Ma automatically went to Yang Jixia and joined his group.

When Tong Jia saw the emptied granary and warehouse, and thought of the old lady and Rong Xinzhi who were taken away, she suddenly felt as if a sword was hanging over her head, which could fall down at any time and separate her head from her body.

Regardless of whether he was discovered when he was packing things, as long as the people in the village went to the shipping company, they would know the address of the Yang family.

As long as Rong Xinzhi is in those people's hands, he can't just stand by and watch.

No, Tong Jia suddenly felt something was wrong.

She asked, "Le Le, if you were a resident of this village and found out someone had killed many people in it, would you take most of the people and leave the village, or would you gather the remaining people to avenge the others?"

Tao Junle gestured, "Only one person? Of course it's revenge."

Tong Jia said, "Yes! There are also a lot of things in the warehouse and granary. If we don't have enough manpower or a thorough plan, there will definitely be omissions, and it will be impossible to move everything so quickly."

That is to say, those who left were likely planning to part ways with this village long ago, and our arrival simply provided them with an opportunity."
