Tang Lin had a severe headache. The needle in his temple felt like a prick, and his heart beat frighteningly, as if it was about to burst out of his heart.His right hand was hot, and he was bound by something and couldn't move.

Someone was crying, and the sobbing sound faintly entered his ears, awakening his unclear mind.

What came into view was a mottled and dirty ceiling, with water stains seeping into the roof, a chandelier hanging crookedly on it, and a small window next to it surrounded by iron bars.

From time to time, someone whimpered in the room, not loudly, but a few times, still childish.

Tang Lin slowed down, gritted his teeth and sat up propped up. After looking around, he realized that this was an old dilapidated room that looked very old.

The room is not big, the light is very dark, the window is dark, and there are occasional dogs barking.There were a few children around, only 6,7 or [-] years old, their hands were tied with ropes, and they looked dispirited.

He froze for a moment, his brain still a little unresponsive.He remembered that he was following the captain to a meeting in the bureau, and just dozed off in the car, why did he come to such a ghostly place as soon as he opened his eyes.

The point is, who had the guts to rob him under the eyes of their criminal investigation captain who was known as the god of death?

The knocking sound of 'Kang Bang Bang' abruptly interrupted his memory, and the door was pushed open rudely.A man poked his head out, and gestured viciously with an iron rod a few times.

"Why are you crying? If you cry again, you will be chopped up and fed to the dogs."

The room fell silent in an instant, and although there were gasps from time to time, no child dared to cry loudly anymore.Seeing that they were obedient, the man closed the door quite satisfied.

Tang Lin's right hand was so numb that he looked down at his hands.Those were a pair of white and tender hands, the bones were slender and did not grow open, and the wrists were tied with a thick rope. Perhaps the time of binding was too long and the blood flow was not smooth. Perhaps the skin was too tender, and it was red and swollen. scary.

He was sure that it wasn't his hands, because the hands were too small, and there was no red mole on the index finger that he had brought since childhood.

Although it was absurd, he suspected that he had crossed over.After all, nowadays, novels that travel through the setting of rebirth abound.

But from a 24-year-old energetic young man who just started working, to a child who is in a bad situation...

I have to say, this is really a bad thing.

But now, he has no time to be depressed at all, he must find a way to escape.Because in those days in the police force, he knew the tragic fate of a child after being trafficked.

Tang Lin accepted his fate with a headache, licked his dry lips, and began to study the rope in his hand.

Fortunately, the rope was not hemp rope, but an ordinary cloth rope. Perhaps because of their young age, those people only tied his wrists, and the simplest front-tying method was still used.

He tried to move his numb and swollen hands, and when he felt his wrists, he put the knuckles of both hands together and slowly stretched his hands towards his chest.

Although Tang Lin is a member of the police force, to be precise, he is not a real criminal policeman, but a computer technician in the team.But being with the elites of the police force all day long, under the subtle influence of what he has heard and seen, he also knows some basic self-help methods.For example, like now, how to break free from the rope.

Tang Lin thanked the old criminal policeman in the team for his teaching, and turned his wrist carefully. When it was turned to about 45 degrees, the tight rope was a little loose.

He gritted his teeth and supported his frayed wrist back and forth several times. Finally, he waited until the rope loosened a bit, and then slowly squeezed his hands out from inside.

Just as he was thankful that he had let go of the restraints on his hands, a slight voice suddenly came from the side.

"Don't move."

Tang Lin froze for a moment, then raised his head when he heard the sound, and found a boy sitting in the corner of the iron gate diagonally opposite.

Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see it unless he looked carefully.It was completely different from those crying and choking children. Although this child's face was dirty, he didn't seem to panic at all. He had a maturity and composure that didn't match his age.

The boy stood up suddenly and walked directly towards him.It was only then that Tang Lin realized that the rope on the child's wrist was only hanging vaguely.It seemed that he wasn't the only one breaking free.

"We can cooperate. Later, you can find a way to bring in the people at the door. They only left one person here tonight." The child completely ignored the surprise in Tang Lin's eyes, and sat directly beside him. heard the voice say.

Tang Lin was a little curious. Could this child be the same as him, and he also traveled through time?Otherwise, how could they talk about cooperation so calmly when encountering such a thing?

The boy saw Tang Lin staring blankly at him and didn't speak. He frowned and remained silent for a long time before he spoke again, "If you want to go out too, just do as I say in a while, and I will find a way to escape when someone comes in." go out."

He frowned and tried to persuade others in a serious manner, which was a bit cute.

Seeing the seriousness of the child's words, Tang Lin felt like laughing in his heart.But he also knew that the occasion was not right, so after thinking about it, he asked cautiously, "How do you know that they are only alone at night?"

"It's not just us locked up here, the children who are booked out are locked up next door. Most of the people are going to deliver goods with the boss tonight, and someone told the drunkard at the door to let him be smart when he keeps his vigil." He said this, There was obvious disgust and disgust in his eyes, "This room is too old and the sound insulation is not good. They don't avoid talking, and they can hear it if you listen carefully."

Tang Lin felt that if the news was true, tonight would really be the best time to escape.

but……

He looked around and saw that the broken house was empty, not to mention the weapons for protection, not even a stone, so he couldn't just sneak out under the watchful eyes of the guards like this, right?

The child thought for a while and squinted at him, "You will pretend to have a stomachache and act like a little bit, hold him for a few minutes. The place where I was sitting just now is a blind spot, he usually can't see it, and I will wait for the opportunity to escape Don't worry, after I go out, I will bring someone back to save you."

Tang Lin felt relieved when he heard this. No matter how calm he was and how smart he was beyond his age, his thoughts were still childish and naive.

Pretending to have a stomachache?Will the plot of this [-] o'clock TV show really impress the hard-hearted people traffickers outside?

But the blind spot in that dead corner can really be used well...

The child seemed to guess what he was thinking, and continued, "We were carefully selected by them. Regardless of how fierce he is, he will not care about our lives in order to sell for a good price."

Tang Lin "..." Is this child a genius?Really observant!

He thought for a while and shook his head, "If this is the case, you can try it, but the stomach pain is a bit fake, so you have to find a way to pretend to be another illness. At that time, we will change, and you will pretend to be sick later, I will find a way Get out. Don't... just play it by ear."

He originally wanted to say don't be afraid, but seeing the boy's indifferent expression, he swallowed the words forcefully.

The boy looked at him suspiciously, but finally said nothing.

It was cold in the room. Tang Lin leaned against the wall and was wrapped in thin clothes, but he was still shivering from the coldness of the wall, but the child was obviously hot.

He suspected that the other party had a fever, and the fever was severe.

Tang Lin worriedly stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, maybe it was because the temperature of his palm was cold and comfortable, the child unconsciously rubbed it twice, and when he realized what he was doing after a while, he sat up straight and wanted to leave him farther away.

Seeing his stiff body, Tang Lin sighed inwardly; he was still a child after all.

He patted the other person's shoulder lightly, trying to comfort him with a soft voice, "It's okay, you go to sleep first, I'll watch over."

It's a pity that the voice of this body is too immature, and it doesn't sound very convincing.Fortunately, the people on the side didn't speak anymore, and their bodies relaxed a lot.

The small iron window was so dark that it was impossible to tell the time at all.The children were tired after crying for a whole day, and they all nestled around and fell asleep peacefully after a while, but there were a few words in their dreams from time to time, calling pitifully mom and dad.

Tang Lin stayed beside the child without moving, his ears pressed against the cold wall.

This dilapidated house is indeed not soundproof, and the sound of the TV next door can be heard from time to time.He tried his best to suppress the sleepiness and exhaustion in his body. After a long time, someone outside finally came to greet the guards.After a while, there was the rumbling sound of the car starting outside the window.

Tang Lin didn't dare to move at first, and silently counted a few hundred in his heart. When he felt that it was almost the same, he moved his stiff arm and planned to get up.

As soon as he moved, the child leaning on his shoulder woke up instantly and stared at him warily.In the dim light, the vigilant look looked like a wolf cub.

The boy slowed down for a while, and found out that the person opposite was Tang Lin, so he relaxed.

Tang Lin leaned close to the child's ear, ignored his retreat, grabbed him, and whispered, "You'll pretend to be twitching your limbs for a while, just like this."

After he finished speaking, he lay directly on the ground, his body arched and his hands stiff, his body trembling violently. When he looked up after the performance, he saw that the boy looked mentally ill.

Tang Lin smiled embarrassingly, and explained in a low voice, "He should ignore the stomachache. This is called epilepsy, and it can bluff people."

If it weren't for the conditions, he would have wanted to pretend to be sick himself, after all, it would be more plausible.But he was really worried and let such a child run out by himself.

Those traffickers are not good people, and they may do something inhumane after being caught.

Tang Lin was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to try it?"

He was really afraid that this child didn't learn well, and it would arouse the vigilance of the other party.

The boy directly refused, "No, I can't learn it."

Tang Lin was at a loss for words for a while, if the child learned a fake, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Time was running out, he gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself.Big deal, take advantage of that person's unpreparedness, find an opportunity to strangle him with a rope.

Seeing that it was almost done, he brewed his emotions, carefully checked the tools in his hand, then blinked at the other party, lay down on the ground and began to twitch dutifully.

Tang Lin felt that his acting skills of more than 20 years would completely explode on this day.

Seeing his performance getting better, the boy retreated sideways to a blind corner, and shouted at the iron gate, "Come on, someone is dead!"

Tang Lin "..."
