The old cellar before the old man was in the woods in the backyard. Because it was far away from the house and relatively small, a new cellar was dug near the house.

The old cellar has not been used for several years. Because it has not been repaired and maintained, many places inside are collapsed and filled with mud. There is even an unpleasant odor that makes people feel sick just by being near it.

Lin Xi found the entrance to the cellar and opened the muddy cellar wooden door with bare hands, revealing the entrance to a narrow dark street.

"Xiaodouzi, Erbi, are you in there?"

Lin Xi and the others shouted towards the entrance of the cave, but there was no echo from the dim entrance. The narrow mouth could only accommodate an adult. Lin Xi was physically stronger than the average person, so they could only let Lin Bei go down.

As soon as Lin Bei blacked out, the wooden ladder in disrepair creaked, as if it would break in the next second. Lin Xi immediately put the lantern down, and the dim yellow light suddenly illuminated the entire small space.

Lin Bei saw Erbi who was tied up and unconscious in the corner at a glance.

His body was tied with rough hemp ropes, his mouth was stuffed with rags, and his bright red festive new clothes were torn and messy.

The small cellar had a stinky smell, and there was turbid and dark water on the ground. Lin Bei couldn't care less about the harsh environment, and hurried to the corner with the help of dim and flickering lights.

Lin Bei carried the man out, and when they were outside, under the bright lights, they could clearly see the marks on Erbi's face. In addition to the dirt, there were also several obvious bruises.

"Where's Xiaodouzi? He's not in there?" Lin Xi saw that there was only Erbi, kneeling on one knee on the ground, and leaning most of his body into the cellar. The lantern in his hand was shaking, but Xiaodouzi could not be found.

"Little Douzi is not in there, I have searched all over!"

"Xiaodouzi must have been taken away by them. He is not here. Let's go back and ask them again."

**

In a dilapidated thatched house not far from the three old men's house, a man with a slovenly beard and a dirty body was talking to each other.

"Brother Qiangzi, let's... let's let him go. I just saw Jiang Sanzhu being caught at Lao Han San's house. If we are supplied, he is Aunt Jiang's biological brother, so he will be fine. We

We are not related to Aunt Jiang, we are going to be caught, and we may be sent to prison!"

The thin man with the head of a deer and the eyes of a mouse was panicking. He looked at the three old men's houses not far away with the bright lights. The cold wind pouring into the thatched house also made him sweat profusely, and there were big drops of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Shut up, you idiot! You've already done this, and you're still afraid that you won't be discovered!"

"If we don't send the child to the gambling house in town tomorrow morning, our lives will still be ruined. That bitch Jiang Sanzhu is timid. If he really betrays us, he will go directly to Aunt Jiang to ask for it.

money!"

The eyes of Mediterranean, named Qiangzi, flashed with ferocity. He spat on the ground, and his ferocious face looked even more terrifying in the dark environment!

Damn it! If that bitch Jiang Sanzhu hadn't insisted on taking his son back, they wouldn't have been entangled for so long, and they wouldn't still be in Linjia Village!

Qiangzi stood up and walked to the corner, his ferocious face became more and more ferocious. He looked at the small touch of red in the haystack in the corner and kicked him mercilessly. If Aunt Jiang really came to find him, he would still take the money and ransom.

Aren’t they both money and money from selling one’s body?

Little Douzi in the corner huddled tightly, his small body was kicked out of his original position, but in the coma, he could only whimper and frown.

This thatched hut was built by the villagers to guard the mountain fields. It was not big at all. An old small square table took up most of the space, and the two adult men looked even more cramped inside.

But here, Jiang Yan learned that only Erbi and one person were found, so she stabbed Jiang Sanzhu without mercy. He screamed in pain and confessed to the remaining two people.

After getting the address, Lin Xi led the people to the shabby hut in the forest.

Qiangzi and Lao Liu are still discussing how to divide the money they got. As the mastermind, Qiangzi naturally wants to share the big share. Although Lao Liu has a small burden, he is quick-thinking. He and Qiangzi are doing the same thing, even better than Qiangzi.

The child has done more, so why should the hadron take the majority?

"How dare you still want to share the big share? Now that we have alerted the enemy, Jiang Sanzhu might turn us in. Based on how much Aunt Jiang loves her little grandson, we may not be able to leave Linjia Village safely tomorrow."

Lao Liu rolled his eyes. He was not stupid and could naturally think of this, "Then... what should we do? How about... we should give the child back? I have heard that Aunt Jiang was very anxious.

My own brother even picked up a knife to chop him."

Qiangzi sneered, his calculating eyes suddenly flashed with cold malice, and he said in a hoarse and low voice: "Let's go, let's change places, maybe Jiang Sanzhu has already betrayed us, take the child and go directly to Aunt Jiang.

Want money!”

"This..." Lao Liu hesitated and looked at the shrinking mass of red in the corner.

"At this point, it's too late even if you want to back out. Just ask Aunt Jiang for a big pen. As soon as we get the money, we will leave Liujiacun. When the sky is high and the sea is wide, we two brothers will still be happy and happy!"

Qiangzi laughed wildly, and Lao Liu Jianzhuang understood that now they had to bite the bullet. They picked up the unconscious Xiaodouzi from the ground and left the thatched house in the dark.

When Lin Xi brought people there, there was no one in the thatched house. In the silence, Lin Xi and Lin Bei's eyes turned red.

"Search! Search door to door! They must not have left Linjia Village. The mountain roads are slippery at night, and there are many wild beasts and insects in the mountains. It is even more impossible for them to go up the mountain. Contact the village chief and search all the empty houses in the village that are uninhabited.

!”

Seeing Lin Xi and the others returning empty-handed, Jiang Yan was also very anxious. Before she could find Jiang Sanzhu and Fang Xiuhua to settle the score, Xiao Shanzi, who was staying at home, hurried over.

"Madam! Madam! Xiaodouzi has been found! Someone came to our house with Xiaodouzi in his arms and said that he would only return Xiaodouzi back if Madam gave him money!"

This turn of events happened suddenly. Jiang Yan thought about it for a moment and immediately understood the reason. The village guard team was patrolling the village, and several exits were guarded. The two scoundrels were afraid that they would not be able to get out of Linjia Village.

Came out on its own.

Jiang Yan had Jiang Sanzhu and Fang Xiuhua tied up, and even the owner of the thatched house, Old Han San, was tied up and taken to the new house.
