Chapter 77 Old Tai's Crazy Reckless Acts
Ling Xiao was all prepared for a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the enemy didn't play by the rules. Judging from the sound, they were all carrying guns...
Ling Xiao didn't want to become a die, so he secretly put away the nine-section whip and obediently surrendered.
A wise man knows when to yield; he wouldn't act rashly if he wasn't sure how many people or how many weapons the enemy had.
Ling Xiao raised his hands, and the men shone flashlights into his eyes. Ling Xiao smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Brothers, let's keep to ourselves. I'm just passing by. Please spare my life!"
Unexpectedly, those men then pinned him to the ground and tied him up.
Now Ling Xiao could see clearly who the people who came were. They were the same people who had asked about local specialties at the street stall, but the old man who had struck up a conversation with him that day was not there.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was under control, Wu Xie reached for his gun, but was unexpectedly attacked from behind and knocked unconscious...
The men tied up Lao Yang as well. Lao Yang cooperated and didn't move. After tying Lao Yang up, the men pushed open the coffin lid, and the person inside sat up and put the severed arm back in.
Ling Xiao knelt on the ground with his head down, completely unconcerned about the movements of the person in the coffin. However, the person seemed quite curious about him, circling his flashlight several times in front of him.
Suddenly, the man grabbed Ling Xiao's chin with one hand and said, "Raise your head!"
Ling Xiao recognized the voice; it was the old man who had come to ask about local specialties that day. No wonder he hadn't seen him; he was in the stone coffin.
Ling Xiao raised his head, revealing a pitiful expression.
When the old man saw him raise his head, he lit a cigarette, squatted down, and blew a puff of smoke at Ling Xiao, who coughed violently from the smoke.
The old man stood up and kicked Ling Xiao in the shoulder, saying, "You little bastard, you're pretty good at lying! You dare to lie to anyone?"
Ling Xiao was kicked to the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "I'm sorry, big brother! I was wrong! We'll leave now!" But inwardly he cursed: "Where did this stinking idiot come from? Why did he have to learn this nonsense? His breath is suffocating..."
Seeing the old man about to step forward again, Liang, the clerk beside him, advised, "Forget it, Lao Tai, keep the three of them; they'll be useful!"
Hearing Liang Shiye's words, the man named Lao Tai stopped kicking Ling Xiao a few more times.
"Which of the three should we send down to scout ahead?" asked Mr. Wang, who had gained some weight, in Cantonese.
“Let’s go with him!” Old Tai replied.
“Let’s find another one! This guy doesn’t seem very brave. He might pee his pants if we let him go down on his own!” another young man said.
"Hmph! I think he's got some nerve!" Old Tai said angrily.
"What do you think, Master Liang?" the young man asked Master Liang, who had been silent all along.
Then the clerk, who had been looking directly in the direction of Ling Xiao and Wu Xie, said, "It doesn't matter which one of them you choose."
"Never mind! Let him go!" Old Tai said decisively.
When Wu Xie woke up, he saw Ling Xiao sitting on the ground with his head down and eyes closed.
"Lingzi!" Wuxie called out softly.
Because the flashlight beam was shining on them, Wu Xie could clearly see the shoe print on Ling Xiao's shoulder. He then looked up at the light source.
The blinding light made it hard for him to open his eyes, but he still tried his best to make out the faces of those people.
"Awake?" Boss Wang noticed Wu Xie's movements and turned to ask the others, "How's the research going?"
"It's almost there! My map is spot on. If there's a hidden door, it should be on the coffin bed under this coffin." The young man replied with a smile, seemingly very satisfied with the result.
The group worked together to move the coffin, and the empty coffin slid down halfway, revealing an entrance about one meter long.
"Why is it an empty coffin? Where are the rice dumplings inside?" Wu Xie asked, clearly remembering that there were corpses inside.
The others chuckled at his words, and the young man said, "Ask your good brother if what's inside is really a zongzi!"
Wu Xie looked at the hands of the people carrying the coffin and noticed that one of the thin old men's hands was clearly infected with corpse poison. He then realized that he had been tricked.
Old Tai untied Ling Xiao's ropes, gave him a whistle, shoved him towards the cave entrance, pointed a gun at his head, and ordered, "You! Take this down! When you get to the bottom, blow it! If we don't hear a sound in half an hour, I'll kill your two brothers!"
"I'm scared, you need to find someone to stay with me!" Ling Xiao said calmly, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, with a hint of despair in his expression.
Old Tai patted his head and said, "You're going down there all by yourself! Don't try anything funny!"
"What do you want to do?" Wu Xie shouted at them as he watched the old man forcing Ling Xiao.
"Wu Xie! It's...it's alright! There's no...danger!" Lao Yang whispered to Wu Xie from the side.
Wu Xie turned to look at Lao Yang, and Ling Xiao went down into the tunnel.
Ling Xiao went down for about three minutes and then threw the whistle down, which actually made a sound.
"Damn it! It's only been three minutes and the whistle has already gone off! This bastard is obviously messing with us!" Old Tai cursed. He knew this kid had no good intentions and had tricked him time and time again!
"Damn it!" Old Tai angrily picked up his gun and was about to shoot Wu Xie and Lao Yang.
"Wait! Maybe something unexpected happened?" Master Liang advised.
"Yeah! It's only been two minutes, this kid might have fallen!" Boss Wang chimed in from the side.
"If you ask me, let's go down and take a look! Since he's already fallen down, the traps and stuff should be gone by now!" the young man said.
"What's wrong with Lingzi?" Wuxie shouted anxiously upon hearing the commotion.
"Isn't there another one? Why not just send him down?" Old Tai suggested.
Old Tai gave Wu Xie another whistle and said to him, "Didn't you want to find your companion? Go collect his body! Blow it when you get to the bottom. If it doesn't sound within half an hour, you'll have to come up and collect the body of your other companion!"
Wu Xie thought for a moment, then went down into the cave. Looking at the rough workmanship on the stone steps, Wu Xie knew that there would be no traps here.
Halfway down, he heard a voice, a voice that seemed to be calling his name...
