Chapter 116 A place to stay
Seeing Yun Yao walk out of the room, Qi Xia looked at Chu Tianqiu again.
"Can my teammates be released?"
"But that "extreme" in your team..."
"I'll take care of it."
Chu Tianqiu nodded: "I had originally prepared a "welcome party", but now I guess I have to put it aside for the time being."
He walked to the door of the classroom and opened it. Zhang Shan was standing not far from the door.
"Have you finished talking?" Zhang Shan was stunned after saying that, staring at Chu Tianqiu's face, "Damn, how did you get hurt?"
"I'm not in the way." Chu Tianqiu waved his hand, "Zhang Shan, it was all a misunderstanding just now, let Qi Xia's teammates go."
...
Qi Xia followed Zhang Shan to the second floor of the school and found his teammates in the equipment room at the end of the corridor.
Chu Tianqiu was also cautious in doing things. He did not lock up a few people, but just prepared some canned food and bottled water, and then arranged for an aunt to chat with everyone.
The aunt wore both a Buddha amulet and a cross around her neck, and it seemed that her beliefs were quite complicated.
At this time, she was pulling Officer Li and telling him about the example of gods in the village helping the police solve cases.
"Qi Xia, you are here?" Officer Li stood up first when he saw Qi Xia, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"Are you all right?" Qi Xia asked.
"What can happen to us?" Officer Li looked at Qi Xia in confusion, "But you, why are you here now?"
"I went to see Chu Tianqiu." Qi Xia looked around and asked, "Isn't Qiao Jiajin here?"
"Isn't that gangster with you?" Officer Li asked.
Zhang Shan, who was standing behind the two of them, shook his head helplessly at this time: "The mad dog is in another room. I told him long ago that if he didn't do anything, I would give him food and drink, but he refused to listen."
Under his leadership, Qi Xia found Qiao Jiajin again.
He looked fine, but he was very angry.
"Hey! Liar!" Although Qiao Jiajin was tied up, he was still very tough, "Come and let me go quickly, I'm going to beat this big guy to tears today!"
Zhang Shan was also a little annoyed: "You flowery arms, do you really think I'm a paper tiger? I don't use real kung fu, do you really think you can knock me down?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Qiao Jiajin snorted, "Liar, why did you stand on the side of the "enemy"? Did the other party coerce you?"
"No." Qi Xia shook his head, "Qiao Jiajin, these people were going to let you go, but you were so violent that they didn't know what to do."
"Violent?! You said I was violent?!" Qiao Jiajin shouted, "They tied me up, and they didn't allow me to be violent?!"
"Qiao Jiajin, you hit someone too." Qi Xia said, "Why don't you apologize to them, so they don't have to tie you up so hard."
After hearing this, Zhang Shan found it hard to understand. Qiao Jiajin had trouble communicating normally, so how could he apologize?
"I'm sorry." Qiao Jiajin suddenly bowed his head and said, "I sincerely apologize to everyone, please untie me."
"Hey?!" Zhang Shan was stunned, and pointed a finger at Qiao Jiajin, "I thought you were a principled guy! How come you apologized in an instant?"
"I heard that I could be untied if I apologized, and I instantly felt that everything that happened before was my fault." Qiao Jiajin smiled innocently, "I'm like this, I've always been able to bend and stretch."
After Qiao Jiajin returned to the team, everyone followed Zhang Shan's instructions and came to the northernmost room on the first floor.
Chu Tianqiu assigned a classroom to the nine people.
Many daily necessities had been placed in the classroom in advance.
There were several old but clean quilts, a small amount of bottled water and canned food, as well as two lighters and a flashlight.
There seemed to be many people living on this floor, and everyone lived in the classroom in teams.
It was getting dark, and many people were sitting in the classroom chatting.
The life here was completely different from Qi Xia's last "wilderness survival" life. 🄲
They came to the classroom and made the beds first. Qiao Jiajin lit a bonfire in the middle of the classroom with a waste iron basin.
Officer Li brought a few cans of food for everyone to open and put next to the iron basin to heat.
Nine people sat together, waiting quietly, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
Qi Xia raised his head and looked at the men around him, Qiao Jiajin, Han Yimo, Officer Li, and Doctor Zhao, and they were also thinking about something in their hearts.
"Are you used to it?" Zhang Shan walked in from the door and looked at the nine people in the room. "We have limited space, so we can only let the nine of you stay together. It's a pity."
"Brother Shan, thank you." Xiao Ran stood up and smiled at Zhang Shan.
Officer Li stood up, nodded to Zhang Shan in a friendly manner, and said, "Brother, the arrangement is very good. Thank you for your trouble... Do you have cigarettes?"
"Cigarettes...?" Zhang Shan was silent for a while after hearing this, and took out a small half pack of cigarettes from his pocket, with a reluctant expression, "That's all I have..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Officer Li took the small half pack of cigarettes naturally, "I don't mind it, thank you."
Zhang Shan was a little flustered when he saw his "spiritual food" being taken away: "No... Brother, please leave me one!"
"I really held it in for too long." Officer Li took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and lit it.
"Okay then." Zhang Shan shook his head, "You guys have a good rest tonight. We should go to the game tomorrow."
After bidding farewell to Zhang Shan, Xiao Ran looked at Officer Li coldly.
"What's wrong?" Officer Li asked doubtfully.
"Can you please stop smoking here?" Xiao Ran said.
"Oh, okay, I'll go out right now." Officer Li nodded.
He turned to look at Qi Xia again and asked, "Want to smoke?"
Qi Xia thought for a moment and took a cigarette.
He clearly told Officer Li that he had not smoked for a long time.
"Han Yimo, do you smoke?" Officer Li looked at Han Yimo again.
"Ah?" Han Yimo didn't understand what Officer Li meant, so he smiled and said, "I don't know how to smoke..."
"I'll teach you." Officer Li put a cigarette directly into Han Yimo's mouth. "This thing is not difficult. You can do it as soon as you open and close your eyes."
After speaking, he looked at the remaining people and said, "It's really not appropriate for the three of us to smoke here. After all, there are some non-smokers, so come with me."
Qi Xia understood what Officer Li meant at this time, so he put his arm around Han Yimo's shoulders and followed Officer Li to the corridor.
None of the three people spoke. They kept staring at the surroundings and walked forward cautiously.
What they are going to talk about next is too sensitive. In order to beware of "walls have ears", they must find a safe place.
But where is the absolutely safe place in this huge school?
"Qi Xia, would it be safer to go to the rooftop?" Officer Li asked, "Or the basement?"
"No." Qi Xia shook his head, "The center of the playground is the safest."
