Chapter 051 Guitar Singing

  After the smiling tiger fell to the ground, he suddenly realized that a 15 or 16-year-old girl was standing behind him, and this girl was naturally Guo Xiang.

  It turned out that while Laughing Tiger was fighting with Tang Xiaosheng, Guo Xiang quietly went around to the back of Laughing Tiger and then took advantage of his inattention to use the "Lan Hua Zhi Xue Shou" technique to hit his acupuncture point.

  Xiaoyao actually saw Guo Xiang walking behind his back, but he thought that such a naive and lovely little sister couldn't have any combat power, so he didn't take it to heart.

  "Good job, Xiaoyu!"

  "Big brother, are you okay?"

  Tang Xiaosheng shrugged: "How could Big Brother have anything to do?" After finishing, he looked at the sky and saw that half of the sun had already fallen below the western mountain. The night was about to fall. Even if they went down the mountain immediately, it would still be dark before they reached the foot of the mountain. Tang Xiaosheng was not familiar with the terrain of Nanfeng Mountain, and at this time, they were in a relatively remote location. If they rashly went down the mountain, they wouldn't be able to see the road conditions after dark, and it would be easy to get lost.

  After repeated consideration, he decided not to go down the mountain for the time being, but instead chose to report to the police and let them take them down. Once the police arrived, on the one hand, going down the mountain would be more secure, and on the other hand, they could conveniently bring the five kidnappers to justice. Although the five kidnappers had been settled, their employer was still unknown, and it could only be hoped that the police would further interrogate the kidnappers and find clues.

  After calling Detective Lin Shishi, Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang began to work together on the mountain. They moved the five kidnappers together and tied them up with ropes, just in case.

  After tying up the bandit, Tang Xiaosheng was a little curious about the identity of the smiling tiger, so he lifted off the cartoon mask on his face, revealing a rough face, dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite majestic.

  "It's strange, I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before?" Tang Xiaosheng furrowed his brow, he realized that the smiling tiger seemed to have met him somewhere.

  "Big brother, I know who the Laughing Tiger is!" At this time, Guo Xiangzi said in a childish voice, "The Laughing Tiger is actually Hu Dajiang, the security guard of the psychiatric hospital's inpatient department!"

  "Security guard?" Tang Xiaosheng thought carefully for a moment and finally remembered that the smiling tiger was indeed Hu Dajiang, the security guard of the psychiatric hospital.

  Twenty-something days ago, Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang were still in the psychiatric hospital when they sneaked out of the ward at midnight to visit Huang Xiaoming who was injured while filming at Jishuitan Hospital. That night, in order to get the key to the first floor door of the ward, Guo Xiang had used the "Orchid Finger Knockout" technique to knock out the security guard Hu Dajiang. And Hu Dajiang was exactly the kidnapper wearing a smiling tiger cartoon mask standing in front of them.

  "How did Hu Dajiang become a kidnapper if he was just a security guard?" Tang Xiaosheng asked in confusion.

  "Big brother, Hu Dajiang became a kidnapper because he lost his job." Guo Xiang explained.

  Originally, when he was in the psychiatric hospital, because Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang sneaked out, the hospital thought that security guard Hu Dajiang had deserted his post, so he was fired on the same day.

  Hu Dajiang was originally a hoodlum, and he finally wanted to turn over a new leaf. He found a job as a security guard at a mental hospital, but due to Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang sneaking out, he lost his job.

  Disaster does not come alone. After losing his job, Hu Dajiang encountered an even bigger problem. His father was diagnosed with leukemia and urgently needed money for treatment. Unfortunately, Hu Dajiang had no money at all, and his father's illness could only drag on.

  Last night, a man called Hu Daqiang and claimed that if he could catch Tang Xiaosheng and take him to a designated location, he would pay him one million yuan. After a night of consideration, Hu Daqiang decided to take the risk and gathered four accomplices to kidnap Guo Xiang, then lure Tang Xiaosheng to Nanfeng Mountain to exchange him for one million. If it weren't for Tang Xiaosheng's lucky escape by controlling the jade bee, perhaps Hu Daqiang would have succeeded.

  As for these things about Hu Dajiang, Guo Xiang had all heard them from the conversations of several other kidnappers. Today, after being kidnapped to the mountain cave, several kidnappers had nothing to do and chatted idly, talking about these things, and Guo Xiang happened to hear everything on the side.

  Hu Dajiang kidnapped Tang Xiaosheng, also to raise medical expenses for his father, which is also understandable. What Tang Xiaosheng cares about most now is who spent one million yuan to hire Hu Dajiang?

  The target of this kidnapping case is clearly not Guo Yixiang, but Tang Xiaosheng. Guo Yixiang was just a bait. After some thought, Tang Xiaosheng felt that the only person who might have carried out the kidnapping was Long Tianhao. As for whether it was really Long Tianhao, he could not confirm at present and could only hope that the police would investigate further and get to the bottom of it.

  After tying up Hu Dajiang and the other four kidnappers, Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang also felt a bit tired. They found a clean boulder nearby and sat down on it shoulder to shoulder. One wore a cartoon wolf mask and the other wore a Pleasant Goat mask. Together they quietly admired the beautiful sunset.

  The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's near dusk. Before long, the sky darkened, and the dark blue night sky hung like a black curtain, with a few stars embedded in it.

  The night was pitch black on the mountain, and the cool evening breeze came in waves, making Guo Xiang shiver involuntarily.

  Tang Xiaosheng then picked up a few dry branches, found a lighter on the body of the bandit Hu Dajiang, lit the branches, built a bonfire, and warmed himself with Guo Xiang around the fire.

  In fact, the bonfire's function is not only to warm up and illuminate, but also as a distress signal. Tang Xiaosheng has already called Lin Shishi, saying that the kidnapper is on Nanfeng Mountain, asking her to hurry over. With this bonfire, when Lin Shishi arrives at the foot of Nanfeng Mountain, she can find her way according to the location of the bonfire.

  Two people staring at the bonfire can't help but feel a bit bored, after a moment of silence, Tang Xiaosheng suggested: "Xiang Er, why don't you start playing the guitar and singing?"

  "I sing and play poorly." Guo Xiang said with a slightly embarrassed tone, pursing her small mouth.

  "We haven't even sung yet, how can you tell it doesn't sound good?" Tang Xiaosheng encouraged.

  Guo Xiang blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a childish voice: "Okay, I'll sing. But if it doesn't sound good, big brother can't laugh!"

  "Don't worry, big brother will definitely not laugh."

  Guo Xiang sank and said: "I'll sing a song by Qi Qin, 'The Outside World'."

  She played "The Outside World" because it's the only song she can play completely now. Before, when she was still in a mental hospital, the radio often played this song and Guo Xiang thought it sounded nice, so when learning to play guitar, she learned to play this song first.

  Guo Xiang held the guitar in front of her chest, pondered for a moment, then changed chords with her left hand and began to pluck the strings gently with her right hand. The beautiful melody flowed out, and after a while, she started singing softly along with the guitar accompaniment:

  "A long, long time ago, you had me and I had you. A long, long time ago, you left me to soar far away."

  "The outside world is wonderful, the outside world is helpless. When you feel that the outside world is helpless, I am still here waiting for you patiently."

  "Every time the sun sets in the west, I am always waiting for you here. Although it is raining in the sky, I still wait for your return."

  ……

  The melodious and gentle singing voice came from the middle of the mountain, accompanied by the rustling mountain wind, drifting to a farther place. Although the sound was slightly childish, it was like a clear spring flowing through the mountains, pure, transparent, and natural.

  Tang Xiaosheng became a bit mesmerized, quietly lying down on the ground, gazing up at the deep and mysterious dark blue night sky, while listening to Guo Xiang's pleasant guitar playing and singing, his whole body suddenly felt exceptionally relaxed.

  For more than half a month, he has been busy running around for job hunting every day, but in vain. He feels physically and mentally exhausted. Now that he can finally take a break to enjoy the mountain breeze, watch the stars, and listen to music, he suddenly feels that it's truly one of life's greatest pleasures.

  "Big brother!"

  Enjoying it, he was suddenly interrupted by Guo Xiang. Tang Xiaosheng came back to his senses and turned his head to ask: "Xiang'er, have you finished singing?"

  "Hmm." Guo Xiang nodded and twitched her nose, saying "Big brother, you also sing a song."

  "Big brother can't sing and play."

  "We haven't even started singing yet, how would you know we can't sing?" Guo Xiang said in the same tone as Tang Xiao Sheng had previously spoken to her.

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled and hesitated for a moment, compromising: "Okay, big brother will sing one too. But if I sing too badly, you're not allowed to faint."

  Guo Xiang smiled mischievously and pouted her small mouth to guarantee: "Big brother, you can sing freely, I definitely won't faint!"

  As for playing the guitar and singing, Tang Xiao Sheng had never actually learned how to do it before. However, since Guo Xiang wanted to hear him play, he decided to give it a try. He took the wooden guitar and held it against his chest, saying loudly: "Next, I'll play and sing a song by Qi Qin called 'Wolf' for Xiang Er." After clearing his throat, he started strumming the guitar strings randomly with his right hand, then sang in a loud voice:

  "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the vast wilderness. The shrill north wind blows by, and the endless yellow sand sweeps by..."

  The wailing wolf-like singing voice echoed in the middle of the mountain, one wave after another. Those who knew the situation would know that they were singing; those who didn't might think it was a pig being slaughtered.

  "Don't move, police!"

  Tang Xiaosheng was singing with all his might when he suddenly heard a voice that was quite majestic and awe-inspiring.
