Chapter 21 fifth quarter hero

Get rid of the governor!Dick forgot that he was a lion, and thought nothing of it, but wanted to slip away and run to Liberia to inform But there was an accident, he made a mistake in his busy schedule, he used too much force, and accidentally stepped on a stone and made a sound. Immediately, someone came into the hole and looked around suspiciously. Dick recognized Fred. .Moore couldn't help shaking. He also saw the child. Ha ha!You, little rascal!He said, what are you doing here? Dick was too frightened to speak. Are you dumb now?Fred.Moore raised his voice and stopped talking, but wait a minute, I have a way to make you speak

Dick was terrified, and ran as fast as he could, rushing desperately down the hill.But after only a few steps, he was caught by his opponent, who hugged him around the waist with strong hands, and lifted him up like a chicken see that!Fred.Moore raised the terrified child over his head and cursed, little viper, who called you a spy! Dick was immediately led into the hole and thrown on Lewis.Doric's feet. Look, Fred.Moore said, I found something, someone was eavesdropping! Doric grabbed the child and slapped it. what are you doing therehe asked grimly. Dick was frightened, trembling, to tell the truth, but he had pride anyway, and he stood up like a little gamecock.

none of your business.He replied haughtily that we have the right to play the lion's game hole here and it's not yours. Slug, you gotta learn to be polite.Fred.Moore said as he slapped him. Punching and kicking didn't work on Dick, and even chopping him to a pulp couldn't make him submit.Not only did he not surrender, but he straightened his weak body, clenched his fists, and looked at his opponent. Slob!he cursed. Fred.Moore didn't respond at all to the slur. What did you hear?He asks, tell us otherwise Fred.Moore hit him a few more times, harder and harder, but the effect was not good, and Dick never spoke.

Doric cuts in. Let him go, he said, you won't get anything, and he doesn't matter to us, whether he hears it or not, I don't think we'll be so stupid as to let him go I don't think he should be killed either.Siriday interrupted, who seemed to disapprove of violence. No, Doric shrugged, tied him up. Who has a rope? I have it here, Fred.Moore took the rope from his pocket. I have it here too.Brother William also passed the belt. Three times, five times, and two times, Dick was bound tightly, his feet were tied together, his hands were tied behind his back, and he could no longer move.Fred.Moore carried him back to the second hole and dropped him to the ground.

Be honest, order when he leaves, or you'll be in trouble, boy. Having said this, he returned to his companions.They began to repeat the same old topics again, but the days of talking and not doing were over, and the action was imminent, and while the others were chattering, he put the canvas on the fire, and then, very carefully, made the bomb. These five criminals are preparing, but they don't know that their fate has been decided.According to the regulations, Sander came to the appointment, he should be the victim of the lion, he witnessed everything, the partner was caught, tied up, and thrown into the second hole.

Sander despaired, why grab Dick? , why hit him?Why did Moore take him away?What do they want him to do?Maybe kill him!At least he's wounded now.Find someone to save him quickly. The situation is urgent, and Sander naturally has to draw his sword to help.He climbed to the top of the hill like a chamois, entered through the upper hole, followed the narrow passage, and in a quarter of an hour he came to the lower hole where Dick was tied. There was a dim light in the two connecting passages, where Lewis also could be heard.Doric and his four companions spoke in low tones.Sander understood that it is best to be careful, so he walked slowly and softly to his friend.

Although they were still apprentices, as sailors, they always carried a knife with them. Sander took out the knife and cut the rope. Dick was relieved at once, but he ran straight to the passage without saying a word.He didn't have time to joke anymore. He heard their conversation, and only he knew that the situation was urgent and he should report it immediately. That's why he stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards the passage without wasting any time.He scrambled up the slope, poor Sander sprinting after him, exhausted. They could have escaped easily, unfortunately Fred.Moore had a whim to see how the captive was doing.Despite the faint light coming through the hole in front, he saw a vague shadow moving.Surprisingly, he chased after the shadow, and found the passage just like that.He immediately understood that he had been duped, and the prisoner escaped. He opened his mouth to curse and began to climb up.

Although the children have already run more than fifteen meters, he has tall legs and long legs, and the passage is still relatively spacious. There are not too many obstacles, and he can use his own advantages.But soon he was beginning to feel crippled in the dark, unfamiliar hole that Sand and Dick, on the contrary, knew well.Fred started to get angry, and when people get angry, they lose their minds.He ran staggeringly in the dark, stumbling, with his hands raised, more likely to touch the raised rocks on top. Fred didn't know there were two people in front of him, he couldn't see anything at all, and neither of the two children spoke, only the stones rolled on the slope and made a sound, which showed that he was going in the right direction.The sound was getting closer, and he dared to assert that it was this road.

The kids are so good, they know someone is chasing them and they are likely to be caught, but they don't despair, they don't give up.They had to do their best to reach the narrow part of the passage, where the roof was only supported by a rock, which would collapse at the slightest touch.Beyond this point, the passage was lower and narrower.This is to their advantage, they can still run, and the opponent will have a lot of inconvenience, he will at least have to bend over. At last the narrow place they had been waiting for was reached, and Dick, stooping, gleefully went first through it, while Sand ran down and followed closely, feeling suddenly immobilized, his feet caught in a strong hand.

Little bandit, I got you!An angry voice came from behind him. Fred was really pissed. He had no idea that the hole would suddenly get smaller and he had to bend over one person.Then his head hit the top with a jerk, and he fell to the ground, dazed, and at that very moment, instinctively, he reached out and caught the fleeing Sander by the leg. It doesn't matter that Sander falls into the enemy's hands and gets caught, but he will continue to chase Dick, and he will be caught, so what will they do to Dick?Lock him up or kill him at any cost, stop them! Did Sander think so?Did he really think of taking the method of killing each other?Not clear, in fact, he didn't have time to think about it, the tragedy happened only a few seconds from beginning to end.

There is a kind of human beings who sacrifice themselves for others in an emergency. Philosophers call it the subconscious mind. Therefore, we have found a way to solve long-standing problems. It keeps us thinking, and external incentives lead to instinctive reactions. This idea is hidden deep in my mind, but I don't want to put it into practice. Once induced by external factors, it will burst out. Sander had only one thought: save Dick, stop the hunt, and nothing else mattered.Both of them reached forward and grabbed hold of the pillars supporting the top.And Fred.Unknown to Moore, the rock fell and hit him on the head. The pillar broke, the roof collapsed, and there was a dull sound. When Dick heard the sound, he felt nervous and worried. He immediately stopped and listened. There was nothing, the sound was gone, everything was quiet, it was pitch black.He called Sander in a low voice, then raised his voice, and shouted at last that he could not hear Sander's answer, so he turned back and encountered a mass of stones, blocking the opening of the cave.Got it, the roof collapsed and Sander was buried underneath Dick was stunned for a while, then ran out of the cave, and rolled down the slope like crazy. Le Corgi had already gone to bed and was still reading a book. At this time, the door of the government was pushed open, and a person crawled to his bedside. , I don't know what I'm talking about.Le Corgi was first surprised, then recognized Dick. Sander Governor Sander he hummed in pain. Le Corgi asked very seriously: what happened?What happened? But Dick didn't seem to understand what he was saying, his eyes were glazed, darkened, and his face was stained with tears.His chest bulged and heaved, and he spoke out of breath: Governor Sander!As Sander said, he pulled Le Keji by the hand, as if to lead him.Cave Doric Moore Siri wears a bomb to kill Sander and gets smashed!Governor Sander!Sander Although he didn't match his words, the meaning of these words couldn't be more clear, something happened in the cave.Doric, Moore, and Siriday were somewhat involved in this incident, and Sander was also a victim. As for finding out the truth from Dick, I'm afraid it's impossible.The child was overwhelmed with grief, and kept talking those words upside down, as if he was out of his mind. Le Corgis stood up, called Altleble, and said quickly: Something happened in the cave, call five people, bring torches, and go with me, move quickly. Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he followed the child, because those little hands kept pulling him and urging him.They ran up the hill, and a few minutes later Altleble followed with five heavily armed soldiers. Unfortunately, it was too dark for them to see Le Corgi, but he had said: go to the cave.So Altleble ran towards the cave, that is to say, the cave he knew best, where he had hidden his gun.At this time, under the leadership of Dick, Le Corgi walked around the top of the cape and arrived at the entrance of one of the two connected caves from the northern hillside. This was Doric's old den. Fred.When Moore saw that the prisoner had escaped, he cried out, and Doric, hearing the cry, put down his work, and led his three companions to the second cave, intending to help him.Think again, Fred.Moore was only dealing with a child, and without wasting time, he took a hasty glance, too dark to see, and returned to his work. Job done, Fred.Moore had not yet returned, and people were worried and surprised by his delay, so they found a piece of wood and lit it as a torch, and went down into the hole below again, William.Moore was at the front, followed by Doric, followed by Kennedy, and Siri was at the back. They only followed a few steps, then changed their minds immediately and returned the same way.While his three friends ventured into the second hole, he went the other way, and went out of the first hole, hiding behind rocks by night.Fred.Moore's disappearance is obviously an ominous omen. He has foreseen the imminent disaster, and it is not his skill to charge forward.He is good at trickery, deceit, smooth talk, and insidious cunning. Fighting and fighting have nothing to do with him, so he hides far away and does not show his face. He should let nature take its course and stand out when he should. At this time, Doric and two companions discovered the passage, Fred.It was from here that Moore went after Sander and Dick.In addition, there was no exit, so there was absolutely no mistake, the person they were looking for would come out there, so they searched along the passage, walked a few hundred meters, and had to stop. block, blocked the road, and blocked their way. Seeing the sudden pile of stones, they looked at each other, puzzled, where is the devil Fred?They couldn't find the answer, so they had to go downhill again, never thinking that their companions were being crushed below. Puzzled by Fred's mysterious disappearance, they returned to the first cave without a word, only to be met with amazement and disaster.No sooner had they returned than a grown man and a child appeared at the entrance of the cave. The fire was still burning, and the cave was brightly lit, and the wretches recognized the man and the boy. The three of Dick said in unison that they were dumbfounded when they saw the young cadet sailor appearing from here, but just half an hour ago, they caught him and tied him tightly. Le Corgis!Then they shouted in a low voice, both hated and afraid. William.Moore and Kennedy were only stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward at the same time. Le Keji stood motionless at the entrance of the cave, his body looked majestic and tall under the bright flames.He stood firm and waited for the opponent's attack. Both of them drew out their knives. Unfortunately, time waited for no one. land. Kennedy was so beaten that he couldn't get up and lay on the ground, looking like he was dying; and William.Moore staggered and staggered to his feet. Le Corgi ignored him and walked straight towards Doric. Things changed too fast, like lightning and thunder, and the situation turned downwards. He felt panic. He didn't go up to their fight just now. He was observing, standing behind with a bomb with a few centimeters of fuse left, He had run out of time to help, the facts told him that resistance was useless, and as soon as Le Corgi walked towards him, he knew that the situation was over He's crazy, his head is bloodshot, his face is dark but at least, this time, he will pay with his life, and he will fight to the death together. He died, and he has to find someone to be buried with him! He took a big step towards the fire, picked up a piece of burning wood, set the fuse on fire, swung back and forward, and prepared to throw the deadly bomb It's a pity that he was a step too late, and the action was not finished. Either his hands and feet were too clumsy, or there was a problem with the fuse, or some other reason. In short, the bomb exploded in his hand, with a loud noise!The earth trembled and shook, and a puff of smoke came out Hearing the explosion and anxious shouts from outside the cave, Altleble and his men finally realized their mistake and ran to meet the tragedy when they saw two flames pinching Le Corgi , next to a terrified Dick clinging to his legs, in the circle of fire, standing motionless, like a block of marble.They rushed to rescue the leader. The leader did not need to be rescued. He miraculously escaped from death. The two flames just passed by, but did not burn him. The danger was over, but he still stood there, motionless.When people were running towards him, he stopped them with a gesture: Alturble, hold the cave!he said in a calm voice. This kind of superhuman calmness was unbelievable, and Altlebull and his men were stunned. They immediately obeyed the order and blocked the hole with their bodies.The smoke cleared, the fire was extinguished, and the cave was dark again. Altleble, light the fire.Le Corgi said. People lit a torch and went into the cave. Since there is only one person, the target is small, and the sky is dark, Siridei, who hid behind the rock, has now slipped away. He knows that Doric will either be captured alive or killed, so this is not a place to stay for long, thirty-six It is best to plan to walk, so he retreated step by step lightly, and once he estimated that no one else could see him, he ran like hell and disappeared in the night. During this period, Le Corgi and his men inspected the scene, and the scene was horrific: blood and debris everywhere.People only found Doric's body, his head and hands were blown off, William was next to him, his stomach was also blown off, Kennedy stayed away, there was no obvious wound, just passed out, Le Corgi walked beside him. He is not dead.He said. Indeed, this guy was just half-dead by Lekoji, lying on the ground and unable to stand up, so he could still be saved. Why didn't he see Xi Ruidai, Le Keji looked around, he seemed to have been here before. The cave was searched carefully, up and down, but no trace of the cook of the Jonathan was found. On the contrary, Altleble found the lost barrel of gunpowder under the branches, but it was missing, and it was found by Dory. Crocker made a bomb. That's the bucket he said triumphantly, it's ours At this moment, a hand grasped Le Corgi's arm, and at the same time, a faint voice called out: Sander!Governor!Sander! Dick was right, the matter was not over yet, and Sander had to be found, since he was also involved in this matter. Children, show us the way.Le Corgi said. Except for one person who was left to guard Kennedy, all the others followed.Dick went first, and the men followed him through the inner cave, up the passage, and stopped before the collapsed rock pile. There!Dick pointed his finger at the pile of rocks. He seemed to be a little out of his mind after going through such pain, and the able-bodied men who had helped him felt pity for him when he looked so stupid.He couldn't cry anymore, his eyes were dry, as if he was on fire, his mouth kept moving, and he didn't know what to say. Is it here?Le Corgi asked softly, but, boy, you see, we can't go any further. Sander!Dick said stubbornly, pointing to the old place with trembling fingers. What are you trying to say, kid?Le Corgi continued to ask, I thought, you wouldn't say he was down there, would you? Yes!Dick said hard, before, we used to go tonight Doric caught me I ran Sander behind Fred.Moore's gonna get us so Sander knocked down the roof on purpose the roof fell on them he's trying to save me! Dick stopped talking and threw himself at Le Corgi's feet Governor!He begged, Sander! Le Corgi understood, was very excited, and tried to comfort the child. Don't worry, boy, he said kindly, don't worry, we'll get your friend out of there, don't worry!We work!He turned and gave orders to Altleble and his men. People began to move the stones desperately, and the rocks were reduced one by one. Fortunately, the stones were not big, and these strong hands could completely remove the stones. Dick was very obedient. According to what Le Corgi said, he walked obediently to the first hole. Kennedy had already woken up and was being guarded by the guards.Dick found a stone by the entrance of the cave and sat down, staring blankly, motionless.He waited for the Governor, who promised him to rescue Sander. In the meantime, the men were lighting torches, and were hurrying to work, and Dick was right, there was a body down there, moving a rock.There was only one foot showing, it was a big adult foot, it couldn't be Sander's, it was a man's foot, he must be big. People speeded up, first showing their feet, legs, then half of their body, and finally their whole body. The man lay on the ground.When people tried to pull him out, they encountered difficult things.His outstretched arm sank between the stones, as if caught in something.As it happened, when people took out all his arms, they found that his hands were tightly clutching a child's leg. After breaking his hands, he was turned over, and everyone recognized Fred at a glance.Moore.His head was smashed to pieces, and his chest was also flattened. It was a long time ago. People move faster because Fred.The foot that Moore's stiff fingers grasped could only be Sander's. And just dug out Fred.In the same order as Moore, they saw the feet first, then the legs, then the body, which probably took less time because Sander was smaller. Can Le Corgi keep his word and deliver Sander to Dick?It is too early to tell, as it stands, he may have been killed, crushed, crushed, and his bones shattered.If the legs are out of shape, it can be said that other parts of the body may also have problems. Although it is a race against time, stop and consider that the largest rock is falling on poor Sander's knee right now, and it is supporting the smaller rocks around it, so it must be moved with great care to avoid Landslide again. This matter took a lot of time, and everyone finally moved the big stone away bit by bit. They could not help marveling, for Sander seemed to be lying in a tomb because a hollow was formed under the stone.He is also like Fred.Moore was lying on his stomach like that, because the rocks supported each other, thus protecting his chest, the entire upper body did not seem to be hit, it seemed that only the legs were seriously injured.He was finally rescued. By the light of the torches, they carefully picked him up and laid him flat on the ground.He closed his eyes, closed his mouth, and his face was pale.Le Corgis bent over him He listened for a long time, his chest was still a little gas, and he breathed weakly He's still breathing!he finally said. Two men lifted him up and walked down the passage in silence, the gloomy road being clearly visible thanks to the torches!The legs were smashed badly, but the lifeless head seemed to be shaking even more painfully, and the face was still bleeding. When they appeared in the cave outside, Dick jumped to his feet and rushed forward when he saw Sander's legs were out of shape and his face was covered in blood. He opened his eyes, took one last desperate look, then screamed and fell to the ground.
