The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 178: Arson

The two watched Lu Zixuan's series of actions, felt a little bored, walked away, and slammed the wooden door shut.

Lu Zixuan took the opportunity to stand up by rubbing against the wall, and moved his feet little by little along the wall, trying to find a raised corner to cut the rope.

But after walking around the empty house, there were only two protrusions on the door frame, which were made into round pillars.

Lu Zixuan reluctantly sat down again, half leaning against the pillar. Just as he sat firmly, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and the man with a foreign accent spoke again:

"How's it going? You bastard, the place we found is pretty good, right? If you want to run away, we'll let you go in three days. Don't think about it. If you have that much time, you might as well sleep. Time will pass faster. Haha...

Watching you little bastard jumping around is quite interesting. If you have any tricks, use them and let me open my eyes. Haha…

We are really going out this time, you can take your time to deal with it…"

Lu Zixuan did not take the man's sneer to heart. He just did it for them to see. The door slammed so loudly, but there was no feeling of air convection. It was obvious that the gap was not big, and it was the sound of the door closing inside the house.

Lu Zixuan sat helplessly at the door, also to confirm his guess. From this, he could judge this person's status at work or in life. The more oppressed he was, the more excited he would show at this moment, and he could better understand his scheming and patience.

After making sure that the two people had left, Lu Zixuan loosened his clenched hands and the wrists that were supporting him, struggled gently twice, then pulled out one hand and untied the rope.

As early as when the two men tied Lu Zixuan's hands with ropes, he had been clenching his fists, trying to tighten the muscles in his wrists as much as possible to allow for more room for movement.

The danger is no longer necessary now. It's easy to break free by just relaxing your muscles. Besides, the rope is made of cloth, so it's more elastic.

He broke free from the restraints, reached his right hand into his cotton trousers, pulled out the dagger tied to the outside of his right leg, slowly cut open the cloth bag and cloth rope on his head, and pulled the rag out of his mouth.

Long before Lu Zixuan was plotted against by Lao Tong, he had prepared a lot of self-defense weapons for himself. It was just that the two men were too careful today and he was a little careless, so he fell into the trap.

Only then did I have time to examine the surroundings. This should be an abandoned workshop, with oil and black stains all over the floor, and the pillars and walls covered with moss and stains.

Lu Zixuan leaned against the door and listened to the sounds outside, then looked out through the crack for a while before using a dagger to pry open the wooden door little by little, being careful not to make any noise.

I carefully stretched my head and looked around outside the door. On the left side, there was only half of a shabby wooden door hanging on the door frame. On the other two sides, there were broken walls. The ground in the yard was full of waist-high weeds and dead trees, and there was no road at all.

After confirming that he was in the innermost workshop, Lu Zixuan quietly slipped out of the door, lay down in the grass, observed his surroundings, and considered how to escape.

The bag was taken away by the two men. He had no self-defense equipment except a dagger. Moreover, there were some confidential documents in the interlayer of the bag that must not be disclosed.

After thinking for a quarter of an hour, Lu Zixuan returned to the workshop again, tied all the ropes together into a long rope, and then bent down and slipped under the shortest wall.

Tie a small piece of earth to one end of a rope and throw it out of the wall. Then hang the other end in your hand under the wall, rub your feet hard on the wet ground until the soles of your shoes are covered with mud. Then pick up your taken-off cotton shoes and pretend to climb over the wall.

He crawled along the wall, using all four limbs, slowly towards the gate. When he reached the second door, he vaguely heard voices and approached quietly.

When he was three or four meters away, he stopped, wiped the soles of his shoes with dead wood, and shouted in a controlled voice:

"You bastards, wait for me."

He then curled up his body and observed the situation. When he saw two people open the door and hurriedly run towards the workshop, Lu Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you to keep a close eye on him, but he dragged me out to drink. Now something serious has happened. Let's see how you're going to explain it."

"It's already so late, why are you still complaining? You chase him toward the front door, and I'll chase him behind by climbing the wall. There's only a small path here, how far can a child like him run? Hurry up."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Zixuan felt relieved. He waited until the two disappeared from his sight and quickly walked into the second room.

I quickly scanned the facilities in the room: a broken bed without bedding, an old coffee table, two stools, a camera, and a shoulder bag on one side of the coffee table, and an opened paper-wrapped stack of fried peanuts, a bottle of wine, and two small wine glasses on the other side.

Without thinking, he ran to the bag, opened the compartment and took out the documents, then took out all the lime powder packets, chili powder packets, a small mirror, a small bottle of gasoline and a flint lighter.

He restored it to its original state and checked the ground again, then he was satisfied and ran quickly to the workshop.

As soon as I entered the workshop, before I could breathe steadily, I heard the intermittent conversation between two people.

"This little bastard is really a shrewd person. He is good at luring a tiger away from the mountain. I almost fell for it."

"Stop talking nonsense and go back to the house to check the camera. Since he sent us away, he will definitely come to get it."

"Hey... little bastard, I see you, come out, don't think you can't be seen if you lie down...

"Fuck, Third Brother, what are you doing? I'm just trying to scare the snakes away, why are you lying down?"

When Lu Zixuan heard these words with an accent, he almost burst out laughing, as if he was listening to a crosstalk.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, he heard the footsteps of two people. They must have discussed a strategy, so Lu Zixuan did not dare to act rashly.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, I heard the sound of wading through the weeds. After another half an hour, I heard their conversation again...

The two men tried back and forth four or five times, and perhaps their patience was exhausted. Lu Zixuan heard that they finally made the final decision. They searched the entire yard, and when they still couldn't find him, they set fire to the weeds in the yard to prevent him from escaping.

While they were testing him, Lu Zixuan had already made sufficient preparations and was just waiting for them to fall into his trap.

Not long after, Lu Zixuan heard the footsteps of two people getting closer and closer. He held a wide-mouthed gasoline bottle in his right hand and a lighter in his left hand, ready for battle.

When he saw a head quietly poking into the house, Lu Zixuan poured gasoline on his head. The man was so frightened that he screamed and retreated, but another person followed him and the two collided with each other.

Lu Zixuan took the opportunity to use a lighter to light several paper balls that he had prepared long ago, and threw them at them one by one, until he saw flames all over one of them and the other one stepped forward to take off his clothes to put out the fire, then he stopped, then quickly bypassed the two of them, dived into the bushes, and ran towards the gate.

Only after he ran out of the door did he look back at the two men. He saw that where they were, a raging fire had already started with crackling sounds and billowing smoke.

Lu Zixuan was reluctant to respond in such an extreme way, but the two men were so bold as to set him on fire, so he decided to fight back immediately. He turned around and left after hearing the two men screaming for help...
