Chapter 289 Escape
Er Laizi was afraid that Gu Laoer would turn against him, so he forced himself not to laugh. He used his thin body to climb in through the window, and then cut the rope on Gu Laoer with a knife.
"Er Laizi, thank you. Please wait for me outside for a while. I'll go get something." Gu Laoer thanked him and then began to search the room gently.
Er Laizi knew without him saying anything that Gu Laoer was looking for money, so he didn't stop him and just pushed himself up with his hands and climbed out the window.
Gu Laoer searched the house for a while and finally found the money that Liu Sandi had hidden in a loose brick in the corner.
I opened the floral cloth that wrapped the money, wet my fingers with a little saliva and started counting. There were a total of 32.90 yuan. I didn't expect it was quite a lot.
Gu Laoer put the money into his pocket, then threw the piece of floral cloth on the ground, and finally opened the door and walked out with a swagger.
"Second brother, why were you tied up?" Er Laizi had already come to the front door from the back window.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go first!" Gu Laoer was afraid of being discovered by his family, so he grabbed Er Laizi's hand and ran away.
"Second brother, second brother, stop quickly, I can't run anymore, and no one is catching up with me!" Er Laizi felt that he was short of breath and quickly called a halt!
Gu Laoer glanced behind him, and when he found that no one was chasing him, he stopped and sat down on the ground. He was actually very tired.
"My father found out about my gambling, so he asked my two brothers to tie me up and lock me up." Gu Lao Er explained while panting. What he didn't say was that Gu's father knew where the cave was.
He was afraid that after he told them, the people in the cave would definitely leave overnight, and he would not be able to play dice tonight. He was already itching to play.
"Did your father discover the cave?" Er Laizi's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Gu Laoer with suspicion.
"No, my father only knows that I went to gamble, but he doesn't know the exact location?" Gu Laoer answered calmly, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was lying.
"That's good, that's good!" Er Laizi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one found out. Otherwise, he would have a hard time explaining to Brother Snake. After all, he was the one who brought Gu Laoer there.
"Okay, let's go!" Er Laizi was afraid that Snake and the others were getting impatient, so he started to urge them.
"Go, go, go, hurry up." Gu Lao Er walked in front and gradually started running again. The two people who were in a hurry to go to the cave did not notice that there were two figures swaying under the big tree not far away!
"Why are you here?" Lin Xi retracted the dagger. Didn't he know that the knife almost stabbed his heart?
Lin Xi looked at Gu Tingxiao, her face full of displeasure! What was the meaning of this man sneaking up behind her? Didn't he know that this was very dangerous?
If he hadn't put away the knife quickly, he might have been a cold corpse now.
"I just want to follow my second brother to see..."
It turned out that Gu Tingxiao went up the mountain to return to the team after having dinner at home in the evening, but he still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep late at night, so after saying goodbye to Lin Jue, he went down the mountain and went home.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that he met Gu Laoer and Er Laizi running towards him before he returned home. He hid immediately when he saw them. When he wanted to catch up with them after they walked away, he found another dark shadow walking towards him not far away.
When he got closer, he realized that the black shadow was Lin Xi. He could tell that she was following his second brother, so just when he was about to find her to ask her clearly, the scene at the beginning where Lin Xi questioned him appeared.
"So that's it."
"What about you? Why are you here?" Gu Tingxiao asked when he saw that she didn't explain why she was here.
"I'm also going to make a couple of bets, believe it or not." Lin Xi glanced at Gu Tingxiao and suddenly wanted to tease him.
"I don't believe it!" Gu Tingxiao answered Lin Xi's question firmly without even thinking.
Ugh! This man is so unlovable! Doesn't he realize that he is joking?
Forget it, forget it, let’s not tease honest people!
"I'm going to see if there's any unexpected wealth." Lin Xi thought about it. Since she had already met him here, there was no need for her to hide it from him anymore.
"Do you think I'm greedy for money?" Seeing that Gu Tingxiao hadn't said anything, Lin Xi thought that he was unhappy after hearing what she said, so the smile on her face became visibly less.
"No! Don't worry, I will make a lot of money for you in the future." Gu Tingxiao did not think that Lin Xi was greedy for money. Instead, he felt that she was very real.
"Then I'll wait for that day." Lin Xi didn't expect Gu Tingxiao to seize the opportunity to show his loyalty. If she didn't agree, it would seem that she had no vision.
"Well, I will spend all my allowance on you from now on..." Gu Tingxiao felt that it was a very happy thing to spend money on himself and Lin Xi.
"Let's go! Otherwise we will lose them soon." Lin Xi reminded them. Although she could release the white tiger to look for it, she didn't want to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Don't worry, we will find it. My father told me the location of that place. I roughly know where it is and I won't lose it." Gu Tingxiao nervously held Lin Xi's hand. He wanted to take a slow walk with Lin Xi in the moonlight.
So that's how it is. No wonder he doesn't seem anxious at all.
"Okay, then I'll just follow you." Lin Xi had no intention of shaking off Gu Tingxiao's hand. Instead, she responded by gently squeezing it.
It was this handshake from her that made Gu Tingxiao's heart surge with excitement. He looked very excited and took Lin Xi's hand and walked on the country road.
The two of them strolled leisurely and slowly headed towards the cave, while Gu Laoer and Er Laizi ran up the mountain without stopping and arrived at the entrance of the cave in less than half an hour.
But before the two of them could go in, Snake Brother, who had been waiting for a long time, had Gu Lao Er restrained.
"I thought you weren't coming! I was just about to bring my brothers into the village to ask you for money!" Brother Snake sat on a stool brought by his men, looking down at Gu Laoer who was forced to kneel on the ground, his eyes full of anger.
"Brother Snake, something happened at home, that's why I came late. Please ask them to let me go." Gu Laoer first looked at the two men who were forcing him to kneel down, and then looked at Brother Snake who was sitting in front of him with pleading eyes.
"I can let you go, but you have to give me the money I borrowed yesterday first, otherwise there's no deal!" Brother Snake made it clear that he would not let anyone go easily without seeing the money.
Money? Where did he get so much money? He had a chance to get the 100 yuan, but Lao Wu suddenly showed up at that time. Now there was no hope at all. It was all Lao Wu's fault. Gu Lao Er pushed all the faults onto Gu Tingxiao.
