Chapter 9 chapter eight

Billa sat on the floor at the foot of the bed to keep herself from falling asleep, but she fell asleep until a hand was put over her mouth. "Dinant?" she murmured. He let go of his hand and asked tightly, "Where is Liz?" "I don't know. She's been going down for hours, and I hear dogs barking and people shouting, but not her. I'm worried about her, Dinant." "This woman! How did she get down?" "We tore the sheet into strips and put it back together, and she slipped through the window. Ouch! Dinan, you're hurt. Come, sit down."

"I don't have time." Dinan didn't even look at his wound. "I have to find her quickly. I was bitten by a dog a few times. Why did you let her go? Didn't I ask you to watch her?" he annoyed. "How can I stop her? Li Nan said that he sent a hundred gunmen to prevent you from saving us. Liz said that Li Nan would kill us to silence her. She had to ask for blessings." "Has he demanded a ransom from Marson?" "The weirdest part is here. Di Nan, Li Nan doesn't seem to know Lisi's true identity, and he still thinks she is Diana when he speaks. We can't figure out why he would arrest us if it wasn't for the ransom."

"We'll think about this later, get us out first. After Liz hit the ground, did you see which direction she went? Did she go back into the house? She likes to rummage through other people's files the most." "It was too dark for me to see, but I figured she'd have to go back inside because there were so many dogs out there that the few pieces of meat she'd hid weren't going to be enough." "Bella, Ash will come to take you up to the roof right away. I'm going to find Liz." Dinan got out of the window after he finished speaking, and pulled a rope up to the roof.He made a few gestures to Ash and walked towards the roof of Li Nan's office, thanking Sister Tian for helping him learn the layout of this big house.

The office is dark and there are no pretty blondes burglarizing.He quietly touched the corridor and heard someone talking downstairs.Di Nan went downstairs silently to the study, where Liz might search. As soon as he entered the study, he felt something was wrong. Although he didn't make a sound and the study was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, his sixth sense was a warning sign. "Very good." A match was struck in the darkness, and Gena Lenan lit the cigar he was holding with the match, "I hardly noticed you were here." Li Nan continued to use the match to light the oil lamp. Di Nan saw Lisi sitting on the chair next to Li Nan, her hands, feet, and mouth were tied. When she saw him, her eyes widened in horror, as if she had seen a ghost. .Di Nan could not help but take a step forward.

"If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly. My gun is pointed at her. I don't understand what it means to be sympathetic to the sweetheart." Li Nan smiled and said, "Do you think it's as easy for you to go out as to come in? You can come in because I allow you to come in." He took a puff of smoke, and then said slowly, "I'm waiting to see if you will come in." Which woman should be saved first?" Li Nan stood behind Liz's chair, held a gun against her head and pressed her throat with one hand, "Why do I feel that she is not the Diana that Owen told me? Owen said that she is less courageous than a mouse, But she has the courage to escape from my net."

"What do you want to do?" Di Nan said with a firm voice, "If you want money, you can let her go first." "Money?" Li Nan looked quite surprised, "Do you have the money to pay her ransom?" "I can raise it." "Where can you get money? A brothel? Or that miner of yours who has finally found gold?" Dinan kept his mouth shut. "Don't you say it?" Li Nan's hand on Lisi's throat slowly slid down, "Do you not mind other men touching her?" Liz twisted and tried to avoid Li Nan's hand that was about to touch her chest, she stared at Di Nan angrily, and signaled him to speak quickly with her eyes.

"Her dad paid me to escort her home." Li Nan's hand stopped on Liz's collarbone, "Who is her father?" "Biron Marson." Li Nan's only reaction was to leave Hui Lisi and take off the cigar in his mouth.He stared at Di Nandao, "I underestimated you, I thought you only deal with whores." "I am so, this woman will only cause trouble." Dinan said calmly, "I can't wait to get rid of her as soon as possible." Li Nan's hand touched Lisi's neck again, "Can I test how true your words are? Do you really not care about her at all?"

"Marson cares about her, you're just a snake, it's better not to offend the fire dragon." Li Nan thought about it persuasively. He pressed Liz with a gun and dragged her to the door. Two of his subordinates appeared immediately, "Shut them up in the basement." Dinan watched them untie Liz without any resistance, and followed her to the basement. One man held a gun for defense, while another man pushed them into a small room and locked the door. Dinan immediately found Liz in the dark, whispered her name and stroked her body, as if checking her, "Are you hurt?"

Liz hugged him desperately, and cried, "He's terrible. He told me how he abused women. He has already killed three women. It's terrible! It's terrible! He burned women's bodies with cigars..." "Hush..." Di Nan hugged her and shook her lightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't cry, now he knows who you are and he won't dare to hurt you." "How could there be such a terrifying man in the world? Why didn't God punish him? He deserved to die." Liz took a while to control her tears, and when she calmed down, she pushed Dinan away and said angrily, "You Just worry about losing your freedom and money if you can't give me to my father."

Dinant was silent for half a minute, then said calmly, "I'll see if I can find a lamp." She was leaning against the wall with a terrible headache, and she still had lingering fears about Li Nan's cruel story, and Di Nan's words echoed in her ears-I wish I could get rid of her as soon as possible. Dinan struck a match and lit a candle. The room was small and dirty, with scattered things on the floor.A few empty fruit cans and a few half-burnt candles, no furniture. "Let me see you," said Dinant dryly. Liz jumped away, "Don't touch me, I'm fine, you don't have to waste your concern."

He stepped back and looked at her quietly for a while, "It is better for us to live in harmony than to quarrel." "In this way, you can complete the mission and get the 10,000 yuan of stinky money. Maybe you can join Li Nan's gang and share the ransom with him." She was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say. Di Nan said coldly, "You ungrateful little shrew, I should really leave you here." "You go! You go! The door is there, who stopped you?" Di Nan hesitated to speak, cursed in a low voice and walked away to study the door. After a few minutes, Liz's anger cooled down, and she raised her head rationally again, "I guess you probably rescued Bila safely." "If you stayed in the room obediently, you would be out now." He said coldly. "He knew when you entered the house, so it's still impossible for you to escape." Di Nan didn't answer, his eyes were busy scanning the room, and he tapped on the wall with his hands. "Li Nan said that he arranged a hundred gunmen to stop you from Owen's house to here. How did you find them?" He didn't even look at her, and replied coldly, "It's your father's money that made me risk my life to go through the fire net." "Dinan," she licked her dry lips, "I'm sorry, I apologize. Thank you for saving me, and I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble." "Li Nan may change his plan if he finds out that you are Marson's daughter. You'd better sit down and rest. I think he will change the place where we are detained tomorrow morning." She sat down on the ground with her back against the wall, "You were able to deal with the two men who besieged us just now, why didn't you do it?" Dinan leaned against the door and half-closed his eyes, "Maybe you can or maybe you can't. Go to sleep! You may have to run for a while tomorrow." Liz couldn't sleep, she sat quietly and stared at Dinan.She refused to think about him since the night she hid from the rain and had sex with him, and now she was alone in the room with him again, and the fiery and crazy memories of that night were vividly active in her mind. But then his stinging words rang in her ears again afterwards. To him, she was just a woman who could provide him with temporary sexual pleasure, and she was just an exchange for his freedom and money.She was foolish enough to think that he would marry her, you are pathetic fool. He opened his eyes to see her, and for a moment they stared at each other, their eyes locked together, and she almost fell into his arms, but the fact that he didn't love her pierced her heart.She had to stop loving him, and even if it would make her lifeless, she had to do it. "Would you like to see what I found?" she asked quietly. He nodded, a blazing fire in his eyes. If he thought she was ready to give her body any time after they had had an affair, he was in India. Liz turned her back to him, took out a silver bracelet from the cleavage, and then turned around and handed it to Dinan, "When I was looking through Li Nan's things, I found this bracelet in a small pocket where he hid valuables. It was mine, I was pretty sure, so I took it, not sure how my old bracelet ended up here." Dinan couldn't answer, and after examining the bracelet, he returned it to her, "Do you want to hear a joke? This is the story of why I put on a new suit and new boots." Liz, who is extremely curious, can't refuse the temptation of the story.Dinan started from sneaking into Xiaohong's salon, how he had to change into the clothes of the snake oil doctor, to the time when Connings fell in love with the white suit and bought a new one for him. Liz asked in surprise, "Wouldn't they chase after Cunnings? They'd take him in the white suit as you." Di Nan laughed, "That's right, I just hope they chase him." "Oh, Dinan, you are terrible, how can you play such a prank, they may kill him," she cried pitifully. "Would you rather they come after me and kill me?" She glanced at him, "You know I don't mean that." "You can rest assured, I heard that Connings escaped very dangerously, but he is still alive." "Now he must be trying to strip you alive." Dinant shrugged nonchalantly, "I seem to be a hotshot." "Do you know why Li Nan wanted to arrest you?" Liz asked, "According to my observation, he is more interested in you than in me." "Maybe he wants to meet someone who can break through his gun array, Liz." He said softly, "Maybe tonight is the last night we live, can we..." "No!" she growled, "You have told me clearly enough, what kind of woman do you think I am? A prostitute?" "But that night..." She gritted her teeth and said, "I loved you that night and thought you would marry me, but your heart was eaten by a dog. You only use women as a tool to vent your desire. I will never let you touch me again." One of Li Nan's subordinates grabbed Lisi's arm and pushed her downstairs, "When he has had enough of playing with you, he will reward you to us." The man whispered evilly in her ear, and he glanced at Di Nan, who was escorted by another man, "Then he will kill that handsome boy." Liz tried her best to teach herself to be patient, and Dinan would never sit back and watch her be insulted. Li Nan waited for them in the restaurant, and the two gangsters tied Di Nan to a chair and went out.Liz was standing on one side of the long table in full vigilance, while Dinant's chair was by the window. Li Nan lit the cigar, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time," he said slowly, "I've spent years planning, but I didn't expect you to come to die by yourself." He stared at Di Nan, It seems that Liz has been forgotten. Liz cleared her throat, "Before we die, can you tell us why you want to kill us?" Li Nan took a puff of smoke, "I don't want to tell you anything, I want you to be fools, tomorrow this old house will be reduced to ashes, there are two charred corpses inside, no one can recognize them, your father will never find him daughter." "But there will be a lot of people who want to find out where Nora Dallas went and who killed her." She kept her composure. Li Nan only blinked his eyes, and was silent for a few seconds, "You are really full of surprises." He looked at Di Nan, "She is not like the woman you usually hang out with." "Why do you want to be against him?" Liz asked, "If you think he wants me, then you are very wrong, he doesn't care about me at all." Li Nan smiled and said, "Come here." "No." She stiffened and began to feel cold all over. "If you disobey one of my orders, he will die an hour earlier." Li Nan's loud threat made people's skin crawl even more. "If you obey me, he will live longer." "I can't..." She looked at the determination on Li Nan's face that no one could doubt, and was angry that Di Nan didn't resist like a log and didn't think of a way to get out.He really doesn't care about her at all, wants to watch Li Nan ravage her? She looked around the dining room helplessly, there were steak knives in the silver cupboard on the low cabinet, if she could... . She went to Li Nan who was staring at her, "Why do you think that I care about his life? He is just a gunman hired by my father. Don't you know that he has been in prison? He is a life sentence prisoner. My father put him in prison. Get out of jail, he's just not the type of guy I'd look up to." Lisi was delighted that her slightly twisted buttocks walking worked, which attracted Li Nan's eyes, "I like powerful men." She was already quite close to him, "Do you know how rich my father is? One day he Everything will be mine." Li Nan smiled with interest, "Are you tempting me? Do you think you can make me forget what I want to do? Don't play with fire and be careful not to burn your hands." "I want to save myself. A good death is worse than a bad life. With your intelligence and wealth, we can create an empire together. If you murder me, my father will chase you from the ends of the earth even if he loses everything Wan Duan." "What about him?" Li Nan glanced at Di Nan. "He is an insignificant little character, let him go." Liz smiled at Li Nanmei with all her strength, "We don't need him." Li Nan smiled and said, "Your acting skills are good, but, princess, it won't work. Both of you have to die. Marson will not let a person who once threatened his daughter's life get involved in his kingdom." He suddenly hugged Kissing her waist against her mouth, prying her lips open with the tip of her tongue, the disgusting wet tongue slipped into her mouth and stirred. There was a gleam of resentment in her eyes when he let her go. He pushed her away, "You thought you could pretend you wanted me, I don't like being a fool. Come here and try again." Liz was really scared. If she didn't hold her breath, neither she nor Dinant would survive tomorrow.He was certainly not a fool to kiss her in front of Dinant on purpose to torture them and then kill them without even knowing why. She approached Li Nan hesitantly, praying in her heart that Di Nan would take action quickly.She automatically hugged Li Nan's neck, resisted the desire to vomit, and kissed his cheek and lips, trying hard to make him melt into her passionate kiss, while her hand tried to open the silver cabinet. Thank goodness!She opened the silver cabinet without a sound!Still kissing Li Nan, she opened her eyes to look at the silverware cabinet, there were six steak knives in it, as long as she could touch one of them - she pressed her body on Li Nan in an intoxicated way, and took the opportunity to extend her hand , but when her hand was only an inch away from the knife, Li Nan suddenly grabbed her hand. "Honey, do you want to stab me in the back?" He said and slapped her. Liz was beaten to the ground, she reached out to wipe the corner of her bleeding mouth with hatred, fear and anger.Li Nan walked towards her slowly, she sat on the floor and retreated naturally to Di Nan, wanting to seek the protection of Di Nan who had been bound silently all this time. When Li Nan grabbed her and was about to slap her again, Di Nan suddenly jumped up from the chair, his arms strangled Li Nan's neck, and the other hand held a small knife to his throat, "It should be you looking for It's time to compete with a man of the same size as you." Di Nan let go of Li Nan, but quickly punched him in the face. Li Nan bumped into a chair first and then fell to the ground next to Liz. Di Nan didn't give him a chance to breathe, and grabbed him, "Don't play dead, you coward." Di Nan hit Li Nan as hard as practicing boxing Several punches. Lisi stood up and tried to stop Di Nan from beating Li Nan to death, but Di Nan was so angry that she couldn't hear what she was saying.She watched the closed door worriedly, afraid that at any moment someone might come in to see what was going on.If they don't take the opportunity to escape now, they will have no chance. She jumped on Dinant's back, trying to remind him with her weight to stop him from being reckless.He instinctively threw her away, and she fell to the ground with a groan. Di Nan turned his head to look, and hurriedly let go of Li Nan, who slid limply along the wall to the ground, like a dead snake. "My God!" Dinan helped Liz up, "what are you doing jumping on my back?" Liz rubbed her sore butt, "We have to get out of here now. Why did it take you so long to let go of the rope?" "Have you ever used a pencil sharpener to cut a half-inch thick rope?" He said angrily, "Didn't you seduce a man happily just now? Maybe you plan to enjoy here with Li Nan and not run away with me, You can drive out the Nobodies and build your empire." "Aren't you talking? Are you finished? Can you be jealous later?" She stared at him and said, "If you don't leave, I will be leaving. There are still countless guns and wolf dogs to deal with outside." Di Nan turned around and grabbed Li Nan, who was bruised and swollen by him, "Come with us, if the dogs get close, I'll throw you to feed them. Liz, give me that rope." When Di Nan was tying Li Nan, Lisi stood in front of the window and looked around, "How much hope do we have of escaping?" "Ash and Billa probably escaped." "No," Li Nan said weakly, "They're in the basement." Di Nan tied a dirty handkerchief around Li Nan's mouth to stop him from speaking. "We have to save them." Liz said as she walked towards the door leading to the basement. , Dinan reached out and grabbed her, "How can you trust him? If they are really locked in the basement, I will wait until I get you out safely before saving them, and I will save them alone, do you understand?" "Because if I'm not safe, you're going to go back to jail?" She teased coldly, "The life and death of Billa and Ash has nothing to do with you, does it?" Di Nan sighed and closed his eyes, then took out a bunch of keys behind Li Nan, "Okay] let's go. Liz, let's climb out of the window first, and follow after you see my gesture." He paused, and looked at her solemnly, "I want you to swear that you won't go back to the house to do the stupid thing of saving lives, you understand?" She nodded, thinking unconvinced, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to save Bila and Ash together than Dinan would come back later? Li Nan refused to climb out of the window, Di Nan knocked out a bag on his head, and then gestured for Liz to follow. Outside the window is the garden, Di Nan dragged Li Nan away, looking back at Liz nervously from time to time, as if afraid that she would disappear in a puff of smoke. They could hear the chatter of the guards outside the low garden wall, some distance from the woods. "Liss, I want to use Li Nan as a shield, you follow us, don't cause trouble for me and make me worry about it. Don't think about saving Ash and the others." He pulled out Li Nan's gun to check Bullets, shaking the gun at Li Nan, "And if you cause me trouble, I will blow your head off." They stood up and stepped over the low wall. They saw about a dozen guards and four dogs, but they ignored them. The guards all stared in the same direction.Liz heard a bell ringing not far away. "Stand back!" Dinan said to Liz, and Larinan retreated behind the wall. "What's that?" Liz asked. "A show caravan. Billa used to be a show girl. If it's her and Ash, we'd better go in their caravan, or we won't get away on foot long before the dogs catch us." "How do we approach the caravan? What about him?" Liz looked at Li Nan. "We dropped him here and groped to the front of the house and tried to make Billa see us," Lisi watched Di Nan tie Li Nan's feet to the pillar, "I really should kill you to avoid future troubles." He looked at Lisi, "Are you ready?" She wondered, "What if it wasn't the caravan that Billa and Ash got? What if they're still locked in the basement?" Dinant didn't answer and dragged her into the house to dodge the gate. On the way, he knocked out two guards. "That's right, Billa," Dinan said, looking out the window. "She's dancing on top of a flat-topped wagon, and Ash is driving. Don't know how long Billa will keep their attention. But press I don't need to worry about what Bila is wearing." He turned to Liz and asked, "How fast can you run?" "I don't know, you can run as fast as a rabbit when your life is at stake!" "I want you to climb out the window and run into the caravan. Can you do it?" "What about you?" Liz grabbed his sleeve, "I don't want to run away from you." "Do you still care about me when you kiss Li Nan like that?" He said savoringly. "I did it to divert his attention so I could get the knife from the silver cabinet." She grabbed him and asked, "Dinant, are you jealous?" He snorted, "Of course not, are you going to escape or waste time here and kill us?" She nodded and gave him a long look with reluctance. "Good girl." Dinant took a step away, and suddenly came back to give her a quick but fiery kiss, so fast that he only undid three buttons of her, but there was no doubt that his kiss contained emotion. He let her go, just as suddenly as when he hugged her, "I'll be fine, as long as you run out as soon as you hear the gunshot." Those seconds of waiting were the longest seconds of Liz's life.Not far from the window, a group of guards with rifles clustered around the caravan to see Bila's appearance, drooling to see Bila twisting through the Arabian girl's outfit with half of her breasts exposed, her stomach and belly button exposed.The size of the dress was a little too small, and Bira's breasts had some extrusion top. Liz thought the men must be praying that Billa's blouse would rip. Gunshots exploded behind the house, and the guards ran to the place where the gunshots came from, as if awakened from a dream. Liz immediately climbed out of the window, ran desperately into the caravan, and heard Bila call to Ash in front of the car, "She's come in." The caravan immediately started quickly. Liz grabbed the pillars beside the caravan and was shaken all over her body. There were many things in the caravan, such as pots and agricultural tools, which were all tied up to prevent them from jumping due to the speed of the car.She struggled to lift the tarpaulin and saw Ash driving the caravan away from Lenan's big house. "No!" she yelled, but no one heard her because of the vibrations in the wagon.She scrambled through the pile of belongings to the front seat and yelled at Ash, "You have to go back, you can't leave Dinant behind." Bila hung half of her body from the roof of the caravan, "She's right, we have to go back and pick up Dinant." "Then I'll go by myself, you two wait here." Ash stopped the caravan. "No!" they yelled in unison. Ai Xu didn't insist anymore, turned around and rushed towards Li Nan's lair. Lisi prayed that Li Nan's men hadn't found out that he was tied up, so that they wouldn't think of this entertaining caravan to help her escape.Bila's courage was so bold that she sang and danced loudly on the roof of the car to attract the gunmen's attention. "I see him!" Ash yelled. "He's running toward us." "Oh! God! Get down! Woman! Get down!" Liz lay down on a pile of sundries with her heart beating frantically, and the gunshots rang like firecrackers. She heard the sound of Bila falling heavily on the top, as if she had fallen.She opened a corner of the caravan's canvas door to see that Dinan was galloping ahead, followed by a dog and a dozen people running and shooting after him. Some of the bullets hit the caravan, and some flew over her head. "Dinan! Come on! Come on!" she cried, holding out her hand to him.He shouted at her too, but the sound of the gunfire drowned out his words. A bullet hit Dinan's leg, but it was Liz who screamed.Her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but he continued to run without realizing it.She scrambled through the clutter to tell Ash, who was driving the van, to slow down, then returned to the canvas door and held out her hand to Dinant. When Dinan's fingertips finally touched her hand, the dog bit her heel. Liz grabbed something in the caravan and threw it at the dog without looking at what it was. The dog let go of Dinan in surprise, and he ran a few more steps quickly, grabbed Liz's hand and jumped onto the caravan with all his might.Liz yelled for Ash to run, Dinan pulled her down to avoid the bullet, the caravan vibrated violently due to the speed of the traffic, half a minute later they were out of range of the bullet. Liz wanted to check Dinan's shot foot, and he yelled loudly over the shaking of the caravan, "The caravan can't run fast, we have to change horses quickly, does Ash have any horses ready?" "I don't know!" she answered loudly. "Your right leg is bleeding a lot." "Where's Billa? Is she still up there?" "Yes, I heard the sound of her falling heavily on top." Di Nan frowned, "Do you have anything to help me tie my legs to stop the bleeding? I know we can go somewhere, but it takes four hours of horseback riding to get there." "Dinan, you need to see a doctor." Liz tore off a circle of petticoats to put on his legs. "Why did you turn back? Why didn't you run away just now?" "We're coming back to pick you up!" Ash suddenly stopped the caravan. Liz and Dinan almost flew out of the car, and the next second Ash appeared at the back door and said, "I hid some horses in the woods. Billa said you know a The old miners live near here, you can take us there to hide." Ash then climbed onto the roof of the car to look at Billa, Ash yelled, "Billa's been shot". Dinan dragged his stiff legs out of the van. "How badly was she hurt?" "There should be no life-threatening danger, but she bled a lot." Liz climbed up the roof of the car by a small ladder to look at Bila. When she saw Bila lying in a pool of blood, she gasped and her face turned pale. "Dinant," she cried, "she's been shot in the shoulder and is unconscious. Can you help us get her down?" "Okay, hurry up." Liz tried to help Bila to stop the bleeding, but her injured part was not easy to tie. She and Ash worked together to send the unconscious Bila from the roof of the car to Dinan, who carried Bila to the forest. The leg was still bleeding, blood running down his thigh and staining his trousers red. "Let me do it." Ash took Bila and walked to the place where he hid the horse. "They'll catch up in a minute," said Dinant. "When I tell you to ride fast, you're going to keep going, you hear? Stop being a heroine." "I'll listen to your orders if they make sense," she said. "Let's go! Don't waste time." Ash got on the horse, and Dinan carried Billa to Ash's saddle, and Ash held her.Di Nan was full of apologies, regretting that he could not take care of Bila by himself. They set off quickly, and the road was difficult. Di Nanru, an old horse who knew the way, took them along the rugged mountain road, and rode the horse for about an hour in the shallow stream, so that the dogs could not smell their scent and could not follow them. Once they heard a dog barking and hid behind the dense poplar trees by the water.They set off again after the sounds of dogs and people were gone.Di Nan didn't stop his horse until it was dark, and got off the horse with his injured leg stiff. "You wait here," he said. "The old miners don't like visitors." Bila woke up and murmured, "Can I have some water?" Liz hastily handed the water bottle to Ash Fubila to drink.Bila's bleeding had stopped, but she looked weak. A shot made them both look up in shock. Leaning against Ash, Billa said, "It's that old crank, the miner who found Dinan when he was born." "He was the one who auctioned off the eight-year-old Dinan!" Liz pursed her lips and kicked a stone away. Di Nan walked back silently, limping, "We can stay for a few days, but don't expect too much." Ash held Bila and rode forward first, and Dinan walked up to Liz's horse, "He is different from others, don't trust him, don't turn your back on him. Also, don't let him know who your father is, Don't ask him questions either, he's a rotten bastard." "You hate him, don't you?" she asked softly. "Yes, I hate him." Dinan rode up the hill to the miner's hut. It was a small dilapidated wooden house, which seemed to collapse at any moment, and the door was also broken, and it was crookedly closed, revealing a hole.There was a pile of animal skins in front of the house, and a swarm of flies settled on the animal skins. "Put Billa outside first," said Dinant, "we're going to clean the inside." He drove away a thin dog with a rope tied around its neck, and then took a water jug ​​and poured water into an empty can on the ground for the dog to drink. The dog seemed to be dying of thirst and drank greedily. Liz covered her nose and entered the room. There were as many flies inside as there were outside.She heard rough voices outside shouting, "You can't live for nothing, you're going to pay me, what the fuck are you doing with my dog ​​out, it's going to eat everything I have." Liz turned around and saw Dinan enter the room, followed by a thin black old man with white hair, messy beard and rotten teeth.Dinan threw the rotten pieces of meat hanging from the house into the valley behind the house. "What are you doing?" the old man yelled. "That's my food. Do you want to starve me to death? You're going to kill me, just like you killed your mother. Give me back my meat." Dinan ignored the old man shaking his hand, turned to Liz and said, "You go to see Bila and ask Ash to hunt a rabbit or something. Then you find a pot or a bucket and go up a little to find a cold spring." .” "Fuck, fuck," the old man screamed angrily, "you took your mother's life before you were born, and now you're going to take everything from me." Dinan picked up a broom with sparse teeth to clean it, picked up a piece of dry meat that hadn't rotted on the ground, and threw it to the dog. The dog seemed to have not eaten for three days, and ate it ecstatically. The miner immediately ran to grab the piece of meat from the hungry dog ​​whose ribs were clearly visible, and a fight arose between man and dog.Liz was attracted by their voices to look over. The dog clung to the meat. The old man reached into several layers of tattered clothes on his body and took out an old pistol and hit the dog on the foot. The dog whimpered and wailed. The old man smiled triumphantly, picked up the dusty meat on the ground that had been bitten by the dog and hid it in his sleeve.Liz was dumbfounded and couldn't believe such a thing would happen.Di Nan unhurriedly grabbed the old man's hand, took out the meat from his sleeve and threw it back to the dog, then knelt down to look at the dog. "Liz, can you look at it?" Dinant's voice awakened the dazed Liz, and she went to the dog. "It's not badly hurt," Dinant said. Shot on target." He handed his gun to Liz, "If he troubles the dog again, give him a shot. Anyway, he has nothing to contribute to the world while alive." Lise gaped, and Dinant spoke softly and tenderly to the dog, which gratefully ate the meat. Then he held her chin with his hand and closed her mouth, "There are too many flies here, be careful to eat them. After you bandage the dog, go get some water. We have to clean the wooden house for Bila to rest." "Does he have a name?" Liz looked at the old man who was blowing his beard and staring at him. "No, no one knows." Unknowingly, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You never knew his name since you were a child?" "Yes." Di Nan replied expressionlessly. "You're coming to steal my gold, aren't you?" the old man roared with his hands on his hips, "You're going to steal everything from me." "I just want a place for my injured friend to stay for a few days, who wants yours?" Something." Dinan stood up. "Dinan, your leg is bleeding again." Liz called with a worried face. "I can't die, you go to fetch water." He went back to the house to clean. Liz picked up the bucket, and the old man jumped in front of her and startled her. The stench on his body was even more disgusting, "He killed his mother, he is a villain, a murderer." Liz ran away To fetch water. After Dinan cleaned up the house, Ash came back with a dead deer in his arms. They carried Bila into the house, and Liz saw that Dinan's leg was still bleeding and felt distressed.She helped Ash light the fire and skin the deer, while the old man sat on a nearby log and watched their actions with suspicious eyes. Di Nan sat down, his face was a little heavy, and he frowned.Liz believed that his legs must be hurting. It was already dark and the sparks were the only light around him. "We have to make a plan." Dinan's voice seemed tired, "Ash, we take turns guarding." "Guard?" Liz asked, "It's impossible for Li Nan's people to find this place! Dinan, you need to rest." "Thank you for your concern. What I'm worried about is not Li Nan, but him." He pointed his head at the old man sitting far away, "If he knows that there is a reward for us, he will report it even if the reward is only one yuan. , bring them to catch us. We must keep our eyes on him, and it will be bad if he slips away." "Oh!" Liz moaned.Each of them is tired and has to guard a strange old man. "Somebody has to keep him awake if we're going to live," Dinan said. Ash cut the venison and roasted it on the fire, "Billa needs a doctor, she must rest. Dinan, I think you are about to collapse too." "I can still hold on, but Bila really needs to rest. I only know that this place is relatively hidden around here, otherwise I won't ask for trouble to attack him." Ash threw the first piece of roasted meat to the old man, like throwing it to a dog. The old man didn't care at all, and started to gobble it up without brushing off the sand, but he still stared at them without relaxing his eyes. “我们需要去找援手。”艾许看向莉丝，“如果我们能送信给你父亲，他一定会派一团军队来护送你回家，我想黎南还在附近等着抓我们，只有这样我们才出得去。” 莉丝微笑道，“我父亲能打垮黎南的乌合之众。问题是如何送信。” 狄南说，“艾许你去，尽快把马尔森带来。” “丢下你们？”艾许不放心地看向老人，“你可知道有多少人想要你的脑袋吗？” 狄南叹口气，“康宁斯是其中之一，黎南的一百个枪手大概要打折了。” “还有沙耶。”莉丝接口，“不知道休斯·蓝尼被有关当局关起来了没有，否则他也想要你的命。” “有半个世界在追捕我们。”狄南无奈地浅笑，“我们的前途好像不太乐观。” “我带他走。”艾许看着老人说，“这样你们三个才能休息，我会要马尔森带些人手来抵御黎南。”，狄南不同意，“你不了解老头，不知道他有多坏。”他们一致看着在舔手指的老人，“你只要背向他或合上眼睛假寐，他就立刻会割断你的脖子。” “我不会背向他，我睡觉的时候会把他绑牢。”艾许说，“只有去讨救兵我们才有希望，黎南的人多，如果他展开地毯似的搜索，我们迟早会被他找到，马尔森家离这里大概只有五十里了，我去找他不会困难。” 狄南考虑着，莉丝看得出他痛恨自己受伤不得不向别人救援，“狄南，这是唯一可行的办法。”她轻声说，“让艾许去，否则我们不晓得会被困在这里多久。”她挑起眉斜睨他，“你是怕如果别人去带我父亲来你会得不到你的开释书吗”.狄南毫无表情地盯着她看了好一会儿才说，“艾许，你明天一早出发，今天晚上我来守夜，你放心睡个饱明天才有精神对付老人。”
