Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two No Choice

It was just getting dark, and a large number of masters had already entered the mountain forest in the southwest of the village in the dark of night. Under the east courtyard of the Ge family, there was originally a basement, which was divided into two rooms, one for storing gold, silver, food and weapons, and the other for a dungeon. The dungeon is divided into two, one is a cell, shared by men and women.There were more than ten men and women imprisoned inside.Among them was the fatty Li Gang, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant, one of the Seven Heroes, and Fan Yunshen was also among them. On the other side is the death row, with hanging chains on the top and water four or five feet deep below, which can be called a water prison.

There were three people hanging from the chain, one of them was Wen Xin and the other was Fan Kaiping. A 100-jin boulder was tied to the waist and legs, and the hands were clasped by the rings. The person could only sit on the bottom of the water, and the water just reached his jaw. He could neither stand nor sink, and it was impossible to die. For a short period of time, you can stand upright with a hundred catties of boulders, but after a long time, you have to sit down, and even a man of iron can't stand the pressure of a hundred catties of boulders for a long time. The last partition is the torture room, which is equipped with all kinds of torture instruments of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.Since the imprisoned can see the execution room, how can other people bear it mentally during the execution?

The iron fence that separates them is only a finger thick, but in the eyes of the unarmed farmer, it is an iron wall that is impossible to break through. What's more, the door of the cell is guarded day and night by two big men with knives and whips. The whole cell can be seen at a glance, and no one can think of escape. Wen Xin had already woken up. The pine flames on both sides of the cell door were flickering and crackling as they burned. Two guards patrolled back and forth from time to time to check on the movement of each prisoner. Wen Xin's complexion was not as bad as he imagined. He didn't know how long he had been soaked, and he didn't know the time in the ground. He could only judge the time based on his experience. He guessed that it was already dusk.

He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Let me out!"let me out! A guard approached and grinned grinningly and said, "Call me!"No one will care about you even if you scream.A person in a dungeon has the right to shout, so shout! You have to tell Young Master Ge that if I die, you won't get a penny of Second Master Fan's property in Xi'an. Ha ha!Do you know how to blow air?You are just a steward of the Fan family, and Fan's second son, the proprietor, is not dead yet.The guard said disdainfully. Erye Fan doesn't care about the store affairs at all, everyone in the store has to listen to me, a proprietor who doesn't care about things, how can he compare with a manager who handles everything!

Fan Erye's letters will never touch the shop's half a penny.Dude, if you don't report, I'm dead, and you have to take full responsibility.Make sure you can't eat and walk around.Not too soon. The guard was really moved, he whispered into his companion's ear for a while, and then went out. After a while, the big man returned behind the two middle-aged men. The leader of the middle-aged man put his hand on the hilt of his sword, stood at the gate and asked: Boy, tell me, how much gold and silver can be raised for Fan Laoer's shop?I want a correct estimate. Wen Xin pondered for a moment and said: It's hard to say, it depends on whether the buyer is in a hurry?

Of course, the sooner you let go, the better. If you are in a hurry to sell, the storefront and the farm in the southern suburbs can be sold for about 10,000 taels.Silver or so.If I am not in a hurry to sell, within three to two months, I can find a buyer who sells more than 15,000 taels. Of course, this is the lowest estimated price. If Uncle Wei from Dongguan is still interested, it should be no problem to sell it for 20,000 yuan.Uncle Wei mentioned it to me last year, I wonder if he is still interested this year. Wen Xin's nonsense, of course, has been prepared in advance. The middle-aged man turned to Fan Yunshen in the cell, and asked in a deep voice: "Fan Er Er, tell me, is his job real or fake?"

Fan Yunshen is also blessed with a heart. A person who can make a lot of money in business is naturally not stupid, and said with a sad face: How do I know?Usually I rarely ask about things in the store. There are not many people in the world who are really willing to be slaughtered; even if a drowning person encounters a floating reed, he will not let go of the opportunity to catch it. Fan Yunshen didn't know what the hell Wen Xin was up to, but he knew that he was trying to seize the chance of survival.So, follow his tone and answer. The middle-aged man sneered, and said with a half-hearted smile: You, the proprietor, are really happy, and you don't notice any difference when you lose power.

Fan Yunshen said helplessly: There are many things in my farm.How can the store take care of it at the same time, anyway, the manager Wen is capable and loyal, so he doesn't bother with everything. The middle-aged man turned to Wen Xin and said: Based on your letter, can someone else assign the store committee? That's impossible, I have to make a trip myself.Wen Xin leaves a way out for himself. oh!You want to find an opportunity to escape by delaying the attack? Could it be that you can't stand me, a person who can only show fists and embroider legs?He added the aggressive method.

I would like to give you a chance.The middle-aged man said with a grin. I hope to have an interview with Master Ge. He is not at home right now, I can be the master of your affairs. in your position With the position of the subordinate, it is enough to be the master. All right!I am willing to cooperate with you. The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: Let him out. Two big men entered the water prison, and it took a long time before they dragged him to the execution room. He lay limp on the ground, and said to the middle-aged man: Forgive me, you are worth ten thousand taels of silver.

snort!The silver hasn't arrived yet!Forgive me for speaking too early.The middle-aged man said coldly. If I am willing to join you, will you allow me to join the gang? Joining the group is not an easy task, you have to be on assignment for more than a year, and you have to make contributions, you have to be able to fight with weapons, and the most important thing is that you have to be loyal and reliable, and you can go through fire and water for us without hesitation. I thought, I can do it.If I can sell Fan Erye's shop, are you willing to release Fan Erye and his family? The middle-aged man said cautiously, paused, and said: It's hard to say, it depends on whether our young master is willing to agree.Honestly.If you are a child of the Fan family, you may not escape the catastrophe.

So, Mr. Fan The life and death of his family, young and old, are all in the hands of the young master.No one knows whether he will nod. oh!This means that it is not important whether I am willing to contribute, what is important is whether Master Ge is willing to raise his hand. good. With the facts in front of them, the life and death of the whole family of the Fan family is still in vain, and any efforts are in vain. This will have to wait for our Master Ge to decide.However, you don't have to worry.At least, your life can be saved right now, unless you refuse to cooperate, you won't die. Wen Xin struggled to stand up, and said with a wry smile: My life and death cannot be controlled by you, and the Fan family, young and old, cannot be slaughtered by you; because I have already taken care of this matter.It seems that I have no choice Before he finished speaking, his palms flashed like lightning. With a bang, it struck the middle-aged man's left neck at a dizzying speed. The middle-aged man never dreamed that the other party would dare to strike. He was not on guard. This palm was as heavy as a mountain, his neck bones were broken, and his shoulder bones sunk.With a hum, he fell down, blood flowed wildly from his mouth, and it seemed that he would not survive. At this moment, before the two guards standing next to him knew what had happened, and before they had time to react, Wen Xin made a sudden attack, slashing his right palm backwards, and hit the guard on the right with a puff on the bridge of the nose, and his eyes were also hurt. Moved to the left, quickly surpassed the lightning, and bumped his right elbow sideways, hitting the heart of the guard on the left. Everything was calculated very precisely, the shots were ruthless and accurate, and the speed was appallingly fast, almost at the same instant, all three were hit, and each blow was fatal. The last middle-aged man has been standing by the door of the cell, quietly paying attention to the movement everywhere, as calm as a stone man, and the distance is about ten feet away, enough to respond calmly. Moreover, the door of the cell can be blocked at any time to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and he instinctively stretched out his hand to pull the latch on the door, and at the same time thought of the gate to close the cell, and his reaction was extremely quick.The contingency skills have been excellent. However, Wen Xin was faster, like an angry leopard, faster than lightning. If a middle-aged person wants to pull the trigger bolt desperately, he will undoubtedly be hit mercilessly. He has to give up the act of pulling the bolt and rush out in a hurry to protect himself.With no time to escape Wen Xin's claws, he rushed out of the door and entered the passage, turned around, drew his sword, and made a move. The reaction was extremely fast, done in one go, and the sword was full of aura.The sharp edge chased Wen Xin's chest, very proficient and fierce, as if he had acquired the essence of kendo, and the sword rainbow flashed like lightning. Unexpectedly, Wen Xin's first pounce was in vain, and he had already calculated his next instinctive reaction. Taking advantage of the situation, he fell forward and rushed forward, his body sank sharply, avoiding the fatal sword just by a fraction of a percent. The person threw himself on the ground, and his legs were already attached to the ground, and he quickly swept out.Sweeping the opponent's right ankle exactly half a point, the strength is extremely fierce. Hey, the middle-aged man screamed, turned around and rushed forward, the sword still swung out. Wen Xin didn't stand up, turned around and landed on the ground with his back, he flew up with his feet, the opponent's sword missed, and he fell down, his right wrist was kicked at the same time, and the sword was thrown from his hand. Wen Xin rolled up, straightened his upper body, and the iron palm fell mercilessly on the back of the opponent's neck, like a giant ax slashing. The middle-aged man put his head down.Her hands and feet twitched violently, her neck was broken, and she couldn't survive. Wen Xin jumped up quickly, raised his long sword, and sprinted along the passage like a civet cat, through the two doors, and boarded the tunnel entrance. This is a small hall in the east courtyard. There are two big men guarding the door, sitting at a table of eight immortals, with their legs crossed, having a drink. The door opened quietly, and the figure shot out, the sword light was like lightning, and seeing the sword light, the sword energy had already reached the body. The heads of the two men fell to the ground without even yelling. He searched all over the east courtyard, and in an inner room, cleared out the four people who were in charge of guarding the dungeon, and obtained a statement.Knowing that apart from some men and women serving as servants in Ge Zhai, all the masters went to the mountainous area in the south of the village to fight to the death with the flying leopard Zhang Jiezuo from Shangting Town. He was relieved, went back to the underground cell, found a huge ax in the execution room, hacked open the huge lock of the cell, first rescued Fan Kaiping and another middle-aged man in the prison, and then rescued Fan Yunshen and his fellow poor insect.Fan Kaiping was not severely tortured, but was soaked in the water prison for a day and a night, his skin wrinkled and turned pale gray, and he was unable to walk for a short period of time. Wen Xin didn't know who Fan Kaiping was, so he called to Fan Yunshen and other fellow sufferers, "The roadblock has been cleared, everyone cheer up and come out with me." Fan Erye, tell them to come out quickly, there are knives, guns, sticks and axes in the torture room, you take one each and fight with them! He felt strange that, except for Fan Yunshen, no one came out of the cell. Fan Yunshen lifted Nai-nephew's upper body, and asked urgently: Are you Kaiping? Fan Kaiping wanted to cry but had no tears, so he said tragically: Second uncle, second uncle I will carry you out.Fan Yunshen gritted his teeth and said, immediately put him on his back. Wen Xin stared at the expressionless man in the cell, and shouted angrily: What's the matter with you?Still not coming out to escape? Fan Yun sighed deeply, and said sadly: If they escaped for their lives, wouldn't the family suffer?You can't convince them, they're numb. This bunch of stupid wretches.Why don't you fight for your life?Even if you don't go out, you can't keep your family safe.Instead of sitting and waiting to die, why not strive to survive?Wen Xin yelled angrily. More than a dozen pairs of absent-minded eyes stared at him helplessly.No one moved, no one spoke. He gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Let's go!"Even heaven does not help those who refuse to help themselves. He left the room first, and Fan Yunshen followed behind with his nephew Nai on his back. Fan Kaiping knew the terrain of Ge's family and guided him on Naishu's back.Going by the side door through the side yard, he finally left Ge's house safely. Back at Fan's house, everyone immediately prepared to pack.When Fan Kaiping and his wife met each other, it seemed like a lifetime away, and the matter was urgent!There was no time to express his sorrowful feelings, and he made a hasty escape plan. Fan Kaiping was only soaked in water for a long time, and his legs were inconvenient due to sitting in the water for too long. After Wen Xin massaged with wine and took some blood-promoting drugs, he could barely move.The couple had already decided that they must die, so they had no scruples, and they were willing to take the risk of escape with Wen Xin. The only thing to worry about is Miss Fan Xihua. She is not good at behavior and must be taken care of. The responsibility of taking care of her falls on Wen Xin and her father, Fan Yunshen. As long as there is a courageous person leading everything, difficulties can be easily solved. Wenxin has a strong ability to handle affairs, and he is methodical and thoughtful. He explained to the young and old of the Fan family.There is no telling whether the escape will be good or bad, and one must make up his mind to die and survive in order to find a way out. If the thieves catch up, unless it is necessary, do not fight with the thieves desperately, do everything according to the order, and you may die if you are careless, so you must be careful to avoid mistakes. Still in the lead, Fan Kaiping went out of the east of the village and headed north.Walking out of the village on the northbound road, it was already the end of the fourth correction, and there was still one change before dawn. Everyone only brought some gold and silver and two pieces of clothes with them. Wen Xin had an extra package around his waist. This was all his luggage, and he had the ability to take it away. He was still wearing a green straight gown, with his hair pulled back without a scarf.A leather waist guard was buckled around the waist of the clothes, and a long sword with a sheath was inserted obliquely on the outer belt.On the back, a long scarf is carried on the back of Miss Fan, leading the way without fear. After walking for five or six miles, passing the first section of the plank road, the left side is a cliff, and the sky is pierced up; the right side is a deep ravine, which sinks hundreds of feet. Drill holes along the rocky cliff, insert a two-foot-long giant log as the road surface, lay planks on top, and nail railings outside. This section of plank road is about li long, and the middle section is about 20 to 30 zhang. A truss to shelter from wind and rain has been added, which is very similar to the bridge pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is simpler. Peng Zhen grew up in a mountainous area, so walking five or six miles would not be a problem, but she was terrified and overly nervous, so she became tired quickly and could no longer support herself. Second Aunt Fan was even worse, she had probably never traveled such a long distance in her life, and it was night, and she was afraid of the thieves chasing after her; Orifice, weak legs refused to support the body, if there is no wife to support, I am afraid that I would have been lying down. Wen Xin, who was walking in front, had to slow down. Knowing that these people were really helpless, he couldn't help crying inwardly. When he got to the middle of the plank road, he had to stop and sighed softly: "It's almost dawn, let's rest for a while before we go." He quickly untied Miss Fan from his back, helped her to the base of the wall and sat down, took off the package and put it aside, his sharp eyes kept looking back. Everyone else collapsed beside the girl. Fan Yunshen half-lyed under the wall, and asked wearily, "Nephew Wen Xian, do you think they will come after you?" ? They will come after them.He answered calmly. God bless!I hope they die at the hands of the flying leopards, so they won't chase us.Fan Yunshen muttered prayers to the dark sky. Wen Xin smiled faintly, raised his head to the sky and took a deep breath, shook his head and said: The sky is unreliable, who knows what is going on in the dark?However, they will come after them. Although Feibao has many people with high martial arts skills, several stronger elders of that villain Ge Tianhong have come to help, and they can't support them for a long time. Then we are not in bad luck Not necessarily, as long as Feibao can last until dawn, we will have a way out. At that time, I have a 70% chance of winning. you mean Remember the second plank road to the north?It is about six or seven miles away from here, and I paid attention to it when I came that day. Yes, it seems to be Feifeng Inn. Fan Kaiping grew up in this area, of course he knew, said: Second Uncle, Feifeng Inn is the third section, and the front section is called Guishoujian Inn. Wen Xin nodded and said, "That's right, it's the Ghost Sorrow Inn."The west is connected to Longmen Mountain, thousands of mountains are full of birds, and thousands of paths of people are gone. It will take at least three or four days to bypass the front and intercept.It looks like a river to the east It is Xiaoxi River.Fan Kaiping interface. It seems impossible to fly.Wen Xin said with confidence: Along the Xiaoxi River to the north, thirty or twenty miles are full of cliffs. No one has ever walked the east bank, and I heard that there are many snakes, insects and beasts in that area.Fan Kaiping explained. Wen Xin said with a smile: Snakes, insects and ferocious beasts can't stop martial arts masters, but I dare say they won't go to that area to waste time. Fan Yunshen came to his senses and asked: Nephew, do you want to fight them at Guishoujian Inn? Yes.Let me tell you, running away is the next best thing to do, you can't escape.There is only one way to enter Qin, and they can chase us all the way to Hanzhong. When we go to Jianzhou, we ask the government to protect us.Fan Yun gritted his teeth and said. Wen Xin laughed and said: Protection, how to protect?Send a person to ambush, kill by surprise, or assassinate with a hidden weapon?Even in the public, killing three or two people is like picking something out of a pocket, not to mention that it is impossible for the government to send someone to escort us out of the country! Miss Fan couldn't help trembling, and said in a trembling voice: Brother Wen, aren't we desperate? Do not speak of despair until it is time for despair.let's go!If we can't make it to Ghost Sorrow Inn, it will be difficult for me to take care of you!Wen Xin said calmly, his tone full of strength and confidence.
