In the dark mine, there is no light here, and there is no sound except breathing. If a person stays in such an environment, it will easily break the heart.

Hathaway has this feeling now. She was worried about being discovered when she came out, so she didn't bring any lighting, so no matter how worried she was in this environment, all she could rely on was her sense of touch. The cold sweat dripped off Colonel Brandon's forehead, and his body was surprisingly cold, but she couldn't feel a trace of body temperature when she hugged him, and she couldn't get a trace of response no matter how she called. Something was tightly grasped, that kind of panic as if the whole person was about to explode.

She was frightened, terribly frightened, and she never felt this way when she died in her last life.She shrunk into Colonel Brandon's cold embrace, shrunk herself to a small size, and a feeling of fear enveloped her.She was afraid that Colonel Brandon would slowly weaken like this, and finally die here. In such a lightless world, no one could find them, and she could not take him out with her own strength, and finally they would be forgotten in the here.

One hand was abruptly placed on Hathaway's shoulder, and the other was wrapped around her waist. Although the pain in his chest was so painful that he almost lost consciousness, Colonel Brandon still tried his best to hold Hathaway in his arms Li, "What's the matter?..." His voice was low and weak, and the ending almost disappeared into the air.

Hathaway raised her head in surprise, and even in such a dark environment, she could see tears in her eyes, "You're awake!"

Colonel Brandon raised his hand to caress her tender cheeks, which were moist, "Why are you crying..." He held her face to wipe away the tears for her, but the tears flowed more and more.

It was only when he said this that Hathaway felt that she was crying, and now she was crying more fiercely, "Chris... don't die. Promise me, don't leave me." She felt that her whole body was weak and her muscles were sore. Thinking that she would lose one of the most important things, that terrible feeling was enough once, and she never wanted to feel it again.

Colonel Brandon held her face, pressed it against her forehead, and touched her lips lightly, and the two breathed together, "Don't be afraid, I swear, I will not die, let alone leave you. I will Take you back to London, ask you to be my wife, then take you back to Delaford, back to my hometown, it's beautiful there too, you'll like it, you can study food every day, I go hunting, if you If we like children, we can adopt a few more..."

Both of them were slowly immersed in Colonel Brandon's fantasy, as if they were really out of danger, left the mine, and started a new life...

Philip took a group of people to the mining village much faster than returning to the city. First, because he didn't know the way when he came out. If Apollo didn't know how to get back to the city, he might still be wandering in the woods. Second, because When he came out, he was worried about being discovered, so he wasted a lot of time.

A group of 27 people, except for Philip, are all strong players. Among them, 20 people are the militiamen brought by Colonel Morrison, and four are sailors under Andrew's previous command. He also left two people in the city, one Go to inform the sheriff, and another to inform others near Joseph's house to catch Joseph.

When they arrived at the mining village, they found that there was a panic here. Many workers had already left, but some remained in the village and were making noise. Philip didn't bother to care about the escaped workers, so he found Hathaway and Bran first. Getting to the colonel was the key point, not to mention that he knew that Hill and his group were going first, and he was not willing to arrest them.

When the remaining mob saw the red uniform, they immediately scattered and fled in all directions, but they could run with two legs more than four legs, not to mention they were not as good in hand, so they were all tied up and thrown in the middle of the village after a while. on the open space.

Philip pointed to the mine and wanted to bring people in to find Hathaway, but Andrew stopped him, "You should stay here, I'll just take people in to find Hathaway."

Philip was very stubborn and still insisted on going in, "Hathaway is still inside, I have to take her out."

Andrew curled his lips, this is his brother, "Philip, you just stay outside, Hathaway will starve to death when you get inside." Although he no longer hates Philip, he wants him to treat him gently. He's still unlikely.

Philip's teeth were itchy from his anger, but his legs really couldn't walk fast, and they were still aching.

Finally, Colonel Andrew and Morrison led ten people into the mine holding torches.

Just when Colonel Brandon and Hathaway were snuggling together and talking about the future, three uninvited guests came to the mine.

In fact, Daniel has never given up on Hathaway. He has asked Gal to monitor Hathaway's every move. Naturally, he also sees her inquiring about the mine, so he is now betting that Hathaway hid in the mine. Here, as long as you can catch her, you don't have to worry about everything, he wants to get money and money.If she's not in the mine, that's okay, at worst, she'll hide there for a few days, and wait for the police to leave before they go out.

Hathaway and Colonel Brandon gradually fell silent, because both of them saw the flickering lights in the distance. Hathaway hoped that this was the team that came to rescue them, but she was also worried that this was the person who came to arrest them.Colonel Brandon didn't move. He knew that if it was the enemy, it would be useless for him to run now. It would be better to save some energy and hold the opponent for a while so that Hathaway could escape.

It seems that God didn't hear Hathaway's prayer, "Hey, look what we found?" Daniel looked at Hathaway and Colonel Brandon playfully.

John whistled loudly, "It's fifty thousand pounds! And that guy, I just said I'd tear him in half!"

There was also joy on Gal's face, and a cold light shone in his eyes, "This guy belongs to me. Last time I said I would kill him."

The greedy light appeared in Daniel's eyes again, and he licked the corner of his mouth, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you catch this chick, that guy will be useless. With her, we don't have to be afraid of the police."

Hathaway stood up suddenly, her face was cold, her expression was calm, and she secretly made a decision, "I'll go with you, but you have to let him go."

"There is no room for you to bargain now, I am not that idiot Hill!" The three slowly approached.

Colonel Brandon also supported the wall and stood up. He signaled to Hathaway that there is no need to say any more. Some things are unavoidable.

Several people moved in an instant. Daniel's target was undoubtedly Hathaway. He had been coveting her for a long time. If Hill hadn't stopped him before, he would have gotten her already.Gall also ran towards Colonel Brandon, only John stood there stupidly not knowing what to do, it seemed that neither side needed his help.

Daniel slowly pushed Hathaway to the corner like a cat catching a mouse. He teasingly threw Hathaway twice but missed, but he was not in a hurry, and he didn't mind playing with the meat that was already in his mouth.

Colonel Brandon's situation on the other side was much more dangerous. Garr swung his dagger unhurriedly, not in a hurry to give him a fatal blow. A lot of wounds were added, and the already weak body became even more unbearable.In the light of the fire, drops of blood dripped down his arm to the ground, and soon a small pool dripped out. The colonel was already beginning to feel dizzy, but he still persisted, his physical strength only allowed him to do so. A counterattack, so he can't act rashly and has to wait for the best time.

When Daniel jumped out this time, Hathaway tripped over a rock under her feet, but she didn't escape, "Aha, I got you, little beauty!" Daniel laughed triumphantly, looking at Hathaway That smooth face couldn't help but move his mouth closer.

It wasn't until he put his mouth close to Hathaway's face that Hathaway put away the panic on her face. She stared at Daniel without blinking, but pulled out a sharp knife from her sleeve. The dagger, the silver light flashed into Daniel's abdomen.

Daniel's eyes widened, and his whole body froze. After about two seconds, accompanied by his shrill scream, Hathaway quickly drew out the dagger and took a big step back. If she simply drew out the dagger Maybe the wound wasn't too big, but she picked it up when she was pumping, and the scorching blood immediately spurted out like a rushing river, splashing Hathaway's body and face.

Everyone was stunned, no one could have imagined that such an elegant young lady would do such a brutal thing, they looked at Daniel kneeling on the ground and screaming while covering the bleeding wound with his hands, on the ground Soon there was a big pool of blood.

Colonel Brandon was the least affected of these people, not because he had a premonition that Hathaway would do this, but because he had also reached his limit now, his attention was completely focused on his opponent, his eyes It had already begun to blur, and his ears were almost deaf, but he was still keenly aware of his opponent's distraction. He knew that this was his only chance. Taking advantage of the moment when Gal turned his head, he quickly rushed over. He snatched the dagger from Gal's hand, and pierced the dagger into the opponent's chest the moment the opponent reacted.

Gall's movements stopped completely. He looked at Colonel Brandon, but he didn't expect to let the other party come back at the last moment. It was really inappropriate. This last thought flashed in his mind, and the look in his eyes It became dark and fell to the ground with a plop.

Colonel Brandon also fell with him, and he finally couldn't hold on and passed out.

John stood there without moving for a long time. He couldn't believe what happened in this short 1 minute. He didn't understand why things became like this in a blink of an eye. Daniel was stabbed and Cal was lying on the ground. I don't know if I live or die on the ground.And all this is because of a young lady!He glared at Hathaway, anger building on his face.

He just took two steps towards Hathaway, "If you are moving forward, I will kill him." Hathaway put the dagger on Daniel's neck expressionlessly. Of course he is not dead, but I didn't have the energy to call anymore.

The veins on John's forehead popped out, and he roared, "How dare you!" The voice was heard far away in the mine.

This kind of words can't scare Hathaway at all. She has experienced too many emotional changes in this day, from the joy of escaping, to the fear and despair later, and then seeing the anger of Daniel. The negative emotions in her heart broke out completely, and she couldn't bear to control herself anymore, she would kick anyone who stood in front of her, "You can try it." In the orange firelight, Hathaway's green eyes almost turned into Turned black, her face showed no expression, but the blood splattered on her face was her best commentary, madness in her calmness.

When the two were confronting each other, Colonel Andrew and Colonel Morrison arrived with their people. They were stunned when they saw Hathaway. They really didn't expect to see such a situation.

Colonel Morrison came back to his senses faster, he admired Hathaway very much, he had never seen such a brave noble lady.He had John tied up, and then went to see Colonel Brandon, and found that the other party just lost blood and passed out. Finally, Andrew carried Colonel Brandon on his back and took Hathaway to leave first, while he stayed behind. Come down and deal with the aftermath.
