Chapter 47: Part-time Kidnapper

  Tang Xiaosheng hailed a taxi and sped to Nanfeng Mountain in Fu'an District, arriving just before 5 pm. He then called the kidnapper's phone to further confirm the specific meeting location.

  Under the guidance of the bandit, Tang Xiaosheng walked up a stone path on Nanfeng Mountain, and then turned seven or eight times, gradually walking deeper into the mountain. The surrounding trees became denser and the place more secluded.

  After walking for about half an hour, he finally arrived at a small forest halfway up the mountain, surrounded by several meters high green pine trees.

  After staying in place for a while, two men suddenly appeared. They were both wearing ordinary and common winter casual wear, the only special thing was that both men wore cartoon masks on their faces, one with Hello Kitty and the other with Mickey Mouse, seemingly trying to hide their facial features with the cartoon masks.

  The two masked men were the kidnappers. As soon as they saw Tang Xiaosheng, they quickly walked over to him. The man with the large cat mask looked Tang Xiaosheng up and down a few times and asked, "You're alone, right?"

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded and said: "Yes, just me. What about Guo Yixiang?"

  "What's the hurry, you little brat!" The bandit with a Mickey Mouse mask on his face shouted loudly, then turned to Big Face Cat and said, "You search him first, let me see if this kid has brought anyone else?" After that, he took out a pair of binoculars and started searching around.

  At the same time, the kidnapper wearing a big-faced cat cartoon mask walked towards Tang Xiaosheng and started searching his body. Tang Xiaosheng didn't have anything else on him except for a white jade bee bottle. This jade bee bottle was used to control the jade bees, if it were to be taken away by the kidnappers, then he would lose one of his defensive tools. In order to prevent this from happening, he could only take action first.

  When the big-faced cat bent down to search Tang Xiaosheng's lower body, Tang Xiaosheng secretly activated the "Reversal Meridian Method" in his body, guiding his internal energy to the tip of his right hand. A moment later, his right hand swung out lightly, executing the "Orchid Brushing Acupoint Hand". With two soft whooshes, he brushed against the big-faced cat's back, striking the "Wind Gate Point" and "Qu Xuan Point".

  Fat Cat's body tilted to one side, his eyes closed, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. The kidnapper wearing a Mickey Mouse cartoon mask was still holding binoculars and watching, completely unaware that Fat Cat had fainted.

  "Hey big brother, your little brother has fainted." Tang Xiaosheng reminded him at this time.

  "What?" Upon hearing this, Mickey Mouse put down the binoculars and rushed over, pushing the fallen Fat Cat on the ground, calling out several times, but unfortunately, Fat Cat didn't respond at all.

  "How could he have fainted?" Mickey Mouse stared at Tang Xiaosheng, pointing to Big Face Cat and asked urgently.

  Tang Xiaosheng shrugged and spread his hands, feigning ignorance: "I don't know either. He himself squatted down and suddenly fainted, probably due to anemia."

  "Anemia?" Mickey Mouse thought for a moment, stood up and said to Tang Xiaosheng, "Guo Yixiang is still in my brother's hands, you little devil don't play any tricks!"

  "How dare I? Your brother is really self-inflicted, it has nothing to do with me." Tang Xiaosheng defended.

  Mickey Mouse still had some doubts about Tang Xiaosheng, so he immediately searched him, but didn't find the white jade bee bottle because Tang Xiaosheng had already secretly put it on Big Face Cat's body.

  The kidnappers were not just two, Mickey Mouse and Big Face Cat were only responsible for coming out to respond. Their task was to take Tang Xiaosheng back. Since Big Face Cat had fainted, they could only carry him back. Tang Xiaosheng volunteered to help Mickey Mouse carry Big Face Cat back together. Mickey Mouse thought about it for a while and agreed to do so. If he let him carry Big Face Cat alone, it would be enough to choke him.

  Tang Xiaosheng helped lift the big-faced cat because the Jade Wasp Bottle was still on the big-faced cat's body, and he wanted to take this opportunity to retrieve the Jade Wasp Bottle.

  After walking for a few minutes, they came to the entrance of a small cave halfway up the mountain. The entrance was overgrown with more than two meters high unknown grass and trees, if you didn't look carefully, it's really not easy to find that there is a cave here.

  Then Tang Xiaosheng and Mickey Mouse carried the big-faced cat into the cave. The cave was originally pitch black, but with three red candles lit, the light was still quite bright.

  After entering the cave, Tang Xiaosheng found that in addition to Dà Liǎn Māo and Mǐ Lǎo Shǔ, there were three other kidnappers inside. They also wore cartoon masks on their faces, which were Xiào Miàn Hǔ, Huī Tài Láng and Xǐ Yáng Yáng respectively. Among them, the two kidnappers wearing Huī Tài Láng and Xǐ Yáng Yáng cartoon masks each held a steel long knife in their hands.

  "Qiang Ge, Pangzi has fainted." As soon as they entered the cave, Mickey Mouse pointed at Garfield and reported to Tigger.

  The man known as Strong Brother, a smiling tiger, seemed to be the leader of this group of kidnappers. He looked at the unconscious Big Face Cat and asked in a low voice: "How did Fatso pass out?"

  "I don't know either, I just suddenly fainted, maybe it's anemia," Mickey Mouse explained.

  "This dead fatso, he should have been told to watch less porn, his body is so weak, he fainted just climbing a mountain." Laughing Tiger scolded for a few sentences, then sank in thought, turned his head and looked at Tang Xiaosheng, saying "You are Tang Xiaosheng?"

  "Right." Tang Xiaosheng politely asked, "Several brothers, I don't know what you want from me?"

  Before Xiong Tianbao could speak, Hu Laiwu interrupted and said: "Qiang Ge, since this kid is here, why not take action early on, to avoid unnecessary trouble."

  Mickey Mouse chimed in: "Second brother is right, why don't we break his legs first, so he can't run away?"

  "Shut up, all of you!" At this point, the smiling tiger sternly shouted, and all the bandits in the mountain cave immediately fell silent.

  The smiling tiger sank and said to the other kidnappers, "I told you earlier to pay attention to your character! We are only temporarily working as kidnappers, and we will change our careers and become new people in the future. You are now talking about beating and killing all day long, how can you adapt to normal social life in the future? Do you really plan to be a kidnapper for a lifetime?"

  Grey Wolf, Pleasant Goat and Mickey Mouse shook their heads: "Sorry, Qiang Ge."

  "Don't apologize to me, it's none of your business! From now on, remember to use your brain more!" Laughing Tiger shouted loudly.

  "Got it, Brother Qiang."

  The prestige of the smiling tiger seems to be quite high, and after being trained for a few sentences, the other kidnappers were completely shocked. Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng found that the kidnapping methods of these kidnappers seemed to be very amateurish, lacking experience, not like professional kidnappers.

  At this time, the smiling tiger turned his head and said to Tang Xiaosheng again: "Tang, I'll be honest with you, there's no grudge or feud between us, we were originally like well water not flowing into river water. It's just that someone offered 1 million yuan for us to kidnap you, and Laozi happened to be short of money recently, so he had to offend you."

  Tang Xiaosheng's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Is it Qiang Ge? Are you guys mistaken, who is looking for me?"

  The smiling tiger waved his hand and said, "We only take care of tying people up and collecting money. As for who the employer is, we have no right to know." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand again, and Huī Tàiláng (Gray Wolf) and Xǐ Yángyáng (Happy Goat) each took a rope and approached Táng Xiǎoshēng, seemingly wanting to tie him up. Táng Xiǎoshēng, out of self-protective instinct, put his hands in front of his chest, showing resistance.

  "Tang's surname, Guo Yixiang is still in my hands, you'd better behave yourself!" Laughing Tiger warned sternly.

  What he said was not false, and even now, Tang Xiaosheng still hasn't seen Guo Xiang's figure. If he rashly fought back, it would probably put Guo Xiang's life in danger. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaosheng could only surrender, standing quietly as Hu Tai Lang and Xi Yangyang bound him with ropes.

  Wolfram and Happy Sheep first used a rope to tie Tang Xiaosheng's hands behind his back, then tied up his ankles and knees, so that the whole person could only make simple joint movements and couldn't do anything else.

  After being tied up, Tang Xiaosheng politely made a request to Xiao Mian Hu: "Qiang Ge, I'm already tied up like this and can't play any tricks. Can I see Guo Yixiang now?"

  Before Laughing Tiger could respond, Grey Wolf interrupted again: "Where did you get so much nonsense from? Believe it or not, I'll stab you to death with one knife..."

  "Shut up!" Before the big grey wolf could finish, the smiling tiger scolded again, "How many times do I need to tell you before you remember? Pay attention to your manners! Don't always talk about fighting and killing!"

  The wolf lowered his head: "Sorry, Qiang Ge."

  "Stop always saying sorry to me, mind your own business! You'd better remember things for yourself, otherwise you won't even know how you'll die in the future!"

  "Got it, Brother Qiang!"

  After defeating Hui Tai Lang, Xiao Mian Hu said to Tang Xiao Sheng: "I still quite appreciate you, kid. You dare to come here alone to send yourself to death, and that takes some guts. Just for this, I'll let you meet Guo Yi Xiang."

  After finishing, he made a gesture with his eyes, and Mickey Mouse and Pleasant Goat understood tacitly, together carrying Tang Xiaosheng to the depths of the cave. It turned out that this cave was divided into an outer cave and an inner cave, and just now they were only in the outer cave, while deep in the cave, there was another cave within a cave.

  As soon as he entered the cave, he saw a red candle about the thickness of a flashlight burning inside. Under the dim light, Tang Xiaosheng found a girl sitting in the corner of the cave. After taking a closer look, he realized that the girl was Guo Xiang.
