Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 216 Masked Man

Soon, several figures came out from the woods.

The man in front stumbled, his clothes ruffled by the branches. He looked only fifteen or sixteen, his face bloodied by the scrapes of the branches.

The four men behind him were wearing military uniforms, holding their guns tightly in their hands. Their heads and faces were covered with cloth, and nothing could be seen except their eyes.

Tao Qiuyi immediately thought of the people the birds were talking about. They also had guns and were dressed strangely.

Covering the face with a cloth might seem like a strange outfit to the birds.

"Stop, or we'll shoot if you run again." The masked man shouted.

The boy in front ignored the warning and continued running for his life. However, he was already injured and was running too fast, so he accidentally fell to the ground and tumbled over.

The masked men caught up with him, and four of them surrounded him. One of them asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, where exactly is that place?"

The boy lying on the ground kept silent. He struggled to get up. Unfortunately, after trying several times, he failed. He simply gave up and lay still.

"I'm asking you again, where exactly is that place?" The masked man kicked the boy and threatened him viciously, "If you don't tell me, we'll go to your house and arrest your parents and family."

"Even if you tell them by then, your parents and family will have already been hurt, and you will be the sinner of your family."

"Hahaha..." The young man sneered and said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and arrest my parents and family."

Seeing the young man's impassive demeanor, the masked man angrily kicked him again and taunted him, "You're such a filial son! You actually asked us to arrest your family."

The boy rolled on the ground after being kicked, grimacing in pain.

After taking several deep breaths, the boy finally got used to the pain. He looked up at the masked man and said, "You threaten me? I'm not afraid of anything. I won't be threatened by you."

"If you have the guts, just shoot me or kill me silently so that we can all have peace of mind."

"I bet you'd never know where that place is without me leading the way."

"You... deserve to die." The masked man was enraged. He kicked the boy several times but still couldn't satiate his anger. He reached out and grabbed the boy's collar and forcibly lifted him up.

"I deserve to die, just kill me." The young man gritted his teeth and stared at the masked man in front of him fiercely. He said sarcastically, "You don't even dare to show your face, and you still say you are a soldier."

"Bah, you bastards, you're just spies in our military uniforms, real spies."

"You're pretending to be one of our soldiers and slandering our soldiers. No way. Just wait. When our real soldiers arrive, we'll definitely send you to hell."

The young man didn't know where he got the strength from, and he started cursing fiercely.

If she hadn't been hiding in the bushes, Tao Qiuyi would have wanted to applaud the boy. However, in her heart, she still gave him countless thumbs up. Well done to him.

As if hearing something ridiculous, the masked man sneered and said, "Your soldiers? Your soldiers are all incompetent. Otherwise, how could you fall into our hands?"

"I advise you to take us to that place obediently. We will get the things and hand them over. It's not impossible to spare your life."

"I don't need your mercy. I'd rather die than be a spy." The young man said with determination, "It's my bad luck to fall into your hands today. At worst, I can just leave first."

"I'll be waiting for you on the Naihe Bridge."

After saying that, the boy spat fiercely in the masked man's face.

"Damn it, you little bastard, how dare you?" The masked man was furious and threw the boy to the ground. He grabbed the gun hanging on his body, pulled the safety, and pointed the gun at the boy's head. "You are so stubborn. I think you really don't want to live anymore."

"Yes, I just don't want to live anymore." The boy who fell to the ground laughed and looked like he deserved a beating. Perhaps the pain had reached a certain level, and he could no longer feel it.

"I'll die first, and then from heaven I'll watch you all go to hell one by one. Want our things? It's faster to dream."

The four masked men became angry and two of them pointed guns at the boy's head.

The other two masked men each stopped one of their companions and whispered, "Don't fall for his tricks. He's provoking us to kill him, and he wants to suffer less."

"Bastard, bastard." The masked man gritted his teeth and lowered the gun unwillingly.

"Don't you dare kill me!" Seeing the masked man lower his gun, the young man challenged fearlessly, "Hahahaha... You're all cowards, unpresentable cowards."

"You don't dare to kill me. If you kill me, no one in this world will know about that place anymore."

Tao Qiuyi felt that the boy was madly courting death.

"You..." The masked man was extremely angry. He raised his gun several times and then put it down. After all, he had not completely lost his mind and knew that the overall situation was more important. "Take him back."

"I'm going to torture him severely and let him know what it means to live a life worse than death. I don't believe he won't give in."

"Crack." The sound of a dry branch being stepped on was heard.

A masked man grabbed the boy from the ground, and the other three masked men quickly grabbed their guns and pointed them in the direction of the sound. "Who are you? Get out here!"

The scolding words were like stones thrown into the sea, without any echo.

"If you don't come out, I'll shoot." The masked man warned loudly.

The young man mocked loudly, "Go ahead and shoot! If you have the guts, then shoot! What's the point of just talking and scare people? It only reveals your cowardice. You don't dare to shoot."

"Shut up." The masked man scolded in a low voice.

"Don't... don't... shoot." The woman's trembling voice sounded.

After the rustling sound.

A woman in a ragged cotton-padded jacket trembled as she emerged from the bushes, carrying a bamboo basket on her back. She looked at the group with a pale face.

Her shaky body showed that she was terrified. But she still mustered the courage to explain, "Don't... don't shoot, I... didn't see... anything."

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the masked man asked her suspiciously.

The woman flinched in fear, looking up at the masked man with a horrified glance. She quickly lowered her head and replied with a choked voice, "I... I'm a villager who lives at the foot of the mountain. Someone at home... someone is sick, so I went up the mountain to collect herbs."

The woman was Tao Qiuyi.

She acted out her fear and panic perfectly, complaining in her mind as she acted. Wei Jingyuan had just told her last night to avoid these people.

What a perfect word.

The masked man glanced at the basket on her back, which indeed contained a large number of herbs. Although there was no flaw in the woman's words, he still did not dare to take it lightly.

The boy was the best example; he ran away without them noticing, and they put in a lot of effort to catch him.
