Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 10)
“Old, ugly, and lame – no idea why Big Brother insisted on bringing you along. You’re seriously slowing us down.”
Old Man Li remained silent, moving forward quickly with the aid of his crutch, already sentencing this man to death in his heart.
“Hurry up! What are you dawdling for? We’ve been walking for so long, and you’ve hardly taken any steps. Do you even want to escape? You old bastard!”
Jiang Xiaocai’s curses flowed more smoothly as he grew bolder.
“Little brother, say a few less words!”
Jiang Dacai couldn’t help but scold him.
What a fool. Couldn’t he see the other man’s face darkening?
As their gazes met, he immediately became alert to Old Man Li’s dangerous eyes. It seemed they needed to make their move first!
Before long, the party reached the first underground hidden river.
The water in this hidden river was unusually cold. As soon as they entered, they shivered uncontrollably, teeth chattering, unable to speak.
Roused from her stupor by the ice-cold water, YingEr finally regained consciousness and began to struggle.
“Umm…um…”
“Shut up! If you keep screaming, I’ll drown you in the river. We can still finish our task with a corpse, and it’d be less trouble!” Jiang Xiaocai threatened her, causing YingEr’s tears to fall in torrents, but she didn’t dare cry out loud.
Dad, Mom! Hurry and save me! YingEr was wrong, she won’t run around again!
Save YingEr!
As everyone waded through chest-deep water in darkness, the torches flickered dimly, illuminating only a narrow circle. Besides the darkness enveloping their eyes, the only sounds were the rushing water and occasional dripping from above.
At the moment, YingEr was cold, hungry, in severe pain, and terrified beyond measure, as if every day had become a year.
Old Man Li silently followed behind, step by step, tracing Jiang Xiaocai’s path without uttering a word.
Using the torch in his big brother’s hand, Jiang Xiaocai saw fish swimming in the water. With his stomach already rebelling from hunger, he began salivating.
“Big brother, I’m really hungry. There are fish in this underground river. Why don’t we catch some to eat before we continue?”
“Stop messing around; we’re on the run, not on a picnic. What more do you want? A barbecue?” Jiang Dacai retorted irritably.
“Ah! If only we could have a couple of barbecue dishes right now, haha!”
Jiang Xiaocai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Be careful what you wish for. You might not even get to taste the barbecue before the soldiers catch up. When that happens, you can enjoy some free cooked dishes,” Old Man Li sarcastically jabbed him.
“You old bastard! Are you trying to provoke me to death? You think I can’t share a grilled fish?” Jiang Xiaocai flew into a rage.
“Little brother, stop fooling around. Once we escape, there’ll be no shortage of good food. At that time, I’ll buy you whatever you want,” Big Brother promised.
