"By the way, this chick is too timid!"
The stocky guy looked at Gong CaiCai, who was tied to the apple tree with her back to me. Gong CaiCai, who was completely petrified, did not show any signs of life other than breathing. It could be considered a special ability.
"It's not the first time I've kidnapped someone. There are a lot of people who were scared stiff at the beginning, but it's really rare to see someone like her who is like a wooden statue from beginning to end!"
Although the stars were bright outside, there was a dark cloud that covered the moon, so the light was very limited. It felt like it was going to rain later in the night.
I saw the leader of the kidnappers pull out a stack of sleeping bags from the van. It seemed like they were going to spend the night in the wilderness. Listening to their conversation on the road, their previous crimes were reported by the inns, so they didn't trust the inns.
It was the middle of November. Although Gong CaiCai and I wore quite a bit of clothing, we were still forced to sit on the empty grassland. When the night wind blew, it still felt cold. Gong CaiCai, who was tied to me, shivered as if she woke up from the cold.
"Hey!" I shouted at the kidnapper, "Since your third brother was arrested, there should be an extra sleeping bag! Give that sleeping bag to my female classmate! It'll be troublesome for you if she catches a cold! "
"Huh? The stars in the sky are so bright … "Gong CaiCai woke up in a daze and looked at the sky with dreamy eyes. She still did not realize the dangerous environment she was in.
"Bastard! It's all because of you that Third Brother was arrested! " The stocky guy put the revolver loaded with rubber bullets on his waist, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit me.
Gong CaiCai just remembered she was kidnapped. Her two hands that were tied to the tree trunk desperately wanted to grab onto something to make herself feel at ease. In the end, she only touched my handcuffed hands. Although our skin was only the size of a fingernail, Gong CaiCai still maintained this warm contact as if it was a treasure to remind herself that she was not alone.
"Second Brother, don't be impulsive." The leader of the kidnappers shouted at the stocky man. "The most important thing now is to get the ransom and run away. As long as Third Brother is stubborn enough and refuses to admit what he did in the past, he won't be sentenced to more than a few years. When things calm down, we can come back and give him some exercise."
Stumpy stomped his foot on the grass. "That's the only way!"
Until now, the three kidnappers hadn't taken off their masks. However, I had a feeling that I had seen the tall kidnapper recently. When he saw me staring at him, he sneered and took off his mask.
Holy shit! What a shiny bald head! No wonder Granny Moon refused to show her face tonight! It turned out that there was such a big bald head that could outshine the brilliance of the sun and the moon!
"Brat, you've recognized me, haven't you?" The kidnapper boss grinned. "That's right, it's me! The monk from Jianren Temple whose Buddhist title was Yan Wu! You two just followed that psycho Fang Xin to tear down my stage yesterday, don't tell me you don't remember me! "
That … the Buddhist name 'Yan Wu', does it mean 'delaying your entire life' or 'delaying your enlightenment'? Why do I feel like the master who gave you the Buddhist name has a grudge against you?
However, jokes aside, I finally recognized him. He was the vicious monk who guarded the merit box I met at Jianren Temple yesterday. He was the one Fang Xin scolded for "those who have a different heart will enter hell".
I couldn't help but be surprised. "Eh? You have the title of a Bhikkhu and a monthly salary of five thousand dollars. Why did you suddenly quit and become a kidnapper? "
The corner of Vicious Monk Yan Wu's mouth twitched. "Isn't it because of you! Because of your meddling, Jianren Temple lost a lot of face. The abbot taught us a lesson during the evening class and checked everyone's records. In the end, he found out that I had a criminal record! You guys caused me to lose my title as a monk. Today, I will settle the score with you for both official and private reasons! "
Screw you! Yesterday, Fang Xin asked you about the conditions to become a monk. You arrogantly said that you can't become a monk here or there. Especially when you said that people who are wanted by the public security department can't become a monk. You stared at my face without letting go. In the end, you were the wanted criminal!
Abbot of Jianren Temple, I wronged you! It turns out that the harsh conditions you set for becoming a monk were reasonable. If you were a bit stricter, Yan Wu, who has a criminal record, wouldn't be able to become a monk!
"Boss, why did you take off your mask?" The youngest kidnapper said with a frown, "You also told them that we are from Jianren Temple …"
"What are you afraid of!" Yan Wu curled his lips. The scar on his head was very conspicuous under the starlight. "Anyway, this guy recognized me! Yan Wu, don't wear a mask! This kid's eyes are quite sharp. Your identity must have been exposed long ago! "
The kidnapper called Yan Wu didn't even have time to react before Yan Wu took off his mask. I looked carefully — — it was another little baldy! This guy seems to be the one I met at Jianren Temple yesterday. He was the one with an extremely low level of Buddhism. He thought that the original form of Goddess of Mercy was the 'Toilet God'!
"Eldest senior brother!" After his mask was taken off and his face was revealed, Yan Wu immediately changed the way he addressed Yan Wu, "This Ye brat definitely didn't recognize me! I was just pretending that I didn't see them! Now that we've been seen … "
"What does it matter? We left enough photos at Jianren Temple! You have a criminal record and I also have a criminal record. We will be wanted regardless of whether we do this deal or not! Also, it's not a serious matter if the hostage sees our faces … "
My heart trembled. From what the evil monk Yan Wu said, he might kill the hostage after receiving the ransom. That's why he didn't mind Gong CaiCai and I seeing his face.
Among the three of them, only the short and sturdy one still hadn't taken off his mask. It seems that he wasn't a monk from Jianren Temple, but a temporary helper Yan Wu found. It seems that he had a better relationship with the arrested Lao San.
"Which one of you has money?" Yan Wu squatted down next to the apple tree and asked Gong CaiCai and me with a fierce expression.
Gong CaiCai's eyes were brimming with tears. She pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word. I could feel her helplessness through the place where the back of my hand was touching.
"Tsk, of course my family has money!"
In order to divert the kidnapper's attention, I immediately acted like a ruffian. This was the temperament I learned from Xing Xing and the other second-generation rich kids. I'm still an actor. As long as I put in the effort, it's not difficult to pretend to be a stupid second-generation rich kid.
"Your family has money? How come I can't tell? " Yan Wu's gaze drifted towards Gong CaiCai, "Yesterday when you guys came to visit Jianren Temple, I didn't see you put any money in the merit box, but this brat …"
"Her name is Gong CaiCai! I heard it! This brat named Ye Lin is her classmate! " The former novice monk Yan Wu and the current kidnapper Lao Si said — — he really likes to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. He probably heard half of our conversation at the temple yesterday.
"Nonsense! The truly rich are all hiding it! "I scolded angrily," Can't you see I'm the one holding the violin? I'm telling you, it's not worth 200,000, it's worth 300,000 USD! "
No matter how good Yan Wu's eyes are, there's no way he's a professional violin appraiser, so I don't need to pay taxes for bragging.
Yan Wu frowned: "You're saying that the truly rich are all hiding it, but they're swaggering around with a violin worth 300,000 USD? Do you think I'm an idiot? "
"Because no one can tell it's worth 300,000 USD!" I said righteously and even a bit indignant (I really admire my acting skills), "I didn't think a robber like you would be able to see through it …"
Yan Wu stroked his chin proudly after I praised him in a roundabout way, "Hmph, I've dug up ancient tombs before, and I've seen a lot of zithers and zithers. Instruments can't hide from my eyes if they're worth anything!"
Damn, you sure have a rich life! You dug up ancient tombs, became a monk, and now you're kidnapping — — digging up ancient tombs should make more money than being a monk, right? Why did you stop? Did you meet a big dumpling!
"That can't be right." The stocky short man interrupted, "This brat actually wanted to smash our heads with the violin before we pulled him into the car — — does he really know the violin is worth that much?"
"I have money! I don't care! " I yelled. On one hand, I wanted the kidnapper to focus his attention on me, and on the other hand, I wanted to confirm if there was anyone passing by in the wilderness. In the end, there was no one and my voice was blown away by the wind before it traveled far.
"Give me the phone!" I said in a bossy manner, "I'll call my family! As long as you guarantee the safety of me and my chick, you can ask for as much money as you want! "
In order to rationalize the situation, I stopped calling Gong CaiCai 'female classmate' and instead called her 'chick'. This was also for her safety.
But when Gong CaiCai heard me say that, she immediately retracted her hand, but because she was too scared, she came closer after 3 or 4 seconds.
The novice monk took Gong CaiCai and my cell phone from the van and weighed it in his hand while saying in bewilderment: "That can't be right. Ye Lin claims to be a rich second generation, but why is he using a counterfeit phone while his girlfriend is using an iPhone? "
"Do you know how to keep a low profile!?" I widened my eyes into a wide parallelogram, "Because I'm too rich, so I'm afraid of being coveted! As for buying an iPhone for my chick, that's because she's vain! If I don't buy one for her, she'll always give me a hard time! "
"Then it's not easy for you." Although Yan Wu was a monk, he seemed to have a lot of experience when it came to relationships between men and women. Gong CaiCai sighed sadly when I called her a materialistic girlfriend. Perhaps it was because she was afraid or something else, but she didn't refute.
