I didn't eat all the time and felt weaker and weaker. I had to try to eat a few biscuits to replenish my energy.
At noon, I heard a car coming.
The door opened and the mask man came in with a thermos bottle and a plastic bag containing a tablet.
"Take the medicine." The mask man said, "don't you know who I am? Get up and have a chat? "
I tried to get up and lean against the head of the bed, but my head was so heavy that I had to keep pulling.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked with my head down.
"Do you really know who I am?"
I coughed twice. "What I'm good at is listening to people's voices, and remember that when you say a word of peace, I feel familiar with it. When you say the second sentence, I know you are Ma Liang. How do you hate Fang zhe? How can you do such a thing? You are a leading cadre in the district. How can you do such a thing? "
Ma Liang reached out and took off his mask. "I thought you couldn't recognize me. Since you recognized me, I don't have to put it on anymore."
He opened the plastic bag, took out the pills from it, found a disposable cup, poured hot water out of the thermos, and handed me the pills.
I reached for it and threw it in my mouth.
He took a bottle of mineral water, poured some cold water into the cup, made the water temperature reasonable, and then handed me the water.
I took the pills in water and drank three glasses of water at a time. I have to drink more water so that I can recover as soon as possible.
After taking the medicine and drinking the water, I turned over and continued to lie down without paying any attention to Ma Liang.
He didn't bother me either. He opened the door and went out.
I fell asleep again soon, and finally I was choked up. I have to go to the toilet.
When I get up, I feel that my head is not so dizzy. I think the fever has subsided.
I opened the door and saw the sun outside. It hurt my eyes.
Ma Liang disappeared. The two men were playing with their mobile phones at the door. When they saw me go out, they pointed to the right, "the toilet is over there. There's no flushing. Make do with it."
The toilet is a kind of dry toilet. It is a big pit with several pieces of wood on it. It is convenient for people to squat on it. It's very strong, but I can't help it. It's the only way.
There was no place to wash hands after going to the toilet. I saw a basin under the eaves with water. I used to wash it and went back to sleep.
Wake up again, it's afternoon again.
It's still a little soft, but I feel much better, my brain is clear, my hands and feet are strong, and my stomach is hungry.
I went out of the room, and the two men were playing cards. They should be bored to the point of collapse.
When I came out, the two men immediately warned, "you can move around this room, but you can't leave our sight."
After observing, I found that it was really on a high mountain, but there were many temporary houses and some rusty machinery. It can be roughly judged that it was a mining site, but now it has been abandoned.
Even the roadside connecting the mountain is covered with weeds, which shows that the mine has been abandoned for a long time and no one has come.
There is only one way down the mountain. Other places are barren forests. There is no road at all. It's a good place to imprison people. You don't need to tie your feet, because you can't run away. Once you run away, they catch up with you by motorcycle before you get to the foot of the mountain. Anyway, there is only one way. You can't fly away without wings.
I went over to watch them play poker, and they looked at me, "do you want to play together? fight against landlords? It's so damn boring in this place. "
I shook my head. "I'm hungry. I want to eat."
"The meal hasn't been delivered yet. I have to bear it. It won't be delivered until after dark."
I had to go back to the room and lie down. I chewed a few biscuits and drank a few glasses of water. I felt full.
But this time, I couldn't sleep in any case, and I didn't dare to sleep any more, because I slept too much and my head hurt.
I went out of the house again, and saw the sunset all over the sky, the mountains as beautiful as Dai, which made me feel relaxed a lot.
The two men were making trouble in the next room. There was a quarrel from time to time. I went to the small window and saw that they were making the bed. They were all clumsy and insulted each other, but they couldn't make it well.
I pushed the door in, said let me come, I help you shop.
Although I seldom do housework now, I used to do this kind of thing often, so I was quite familiar with the business. I made the bed tidy after a few times.
They started to make a fire outside again. It was autumn. It was cold at night, and the wind was strong on the mountain, so they needed a fire.
"How long are we going to stay here? Hasn't Fang zhe agreed to your terms yet? " I asked two men.
"We don't know. We all listen to the boss."
"Is Ma Liang your boss? Do you know his true identity? "
"We don't need to know his real identity, we just need to know that he has money for us. And give us freedom. It's the best boss"What do you mean? Before that, didn't you have freedom? "
"We have committed a crime and have been locked up in the detention house. The boss fished us out. Do you understand?"
Another man took him with his arm. "What the hell are you talking about? Do you want to go in again?"
"What are you afraid of? She's still under our control. She'll be able to fight back."
I nodded, "the elder brother is right. I'm a weak girl. Under your control, I can't fight against heaven. You don't have to be afraid of me."
The fire started. I found a place to sit down and bake with them.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger. I feel my face is burning. I step back again. At this time, there are stars in the sky. It's very beautiful.
On the way up the mountain, there was a light on. The two men were happy when they saw it. "The food man finally came. You go in and hide."
I didn't dare to resist, so I had to go into the house and hide. Soon a motorcycle came and left.
Then I heard them calling me to have dinner outside. I opened the door and saw that they had put the meal by the fire. There was no food, just a pot of potatoes, roast meat and rice.
Chopsticks are disposable, I served half a bowl of rice, sandwiched some potatoes, eat slowly.
After eating, I went back to my room. One of the two men stayed behind to guard me by the fire, the other went to sleep next door, got up in the middle of the night, and changed to another to guard by the fire.
And two men who just came out of the detention house on this barren mountain, in fact, I was a little scared. So I didn't sleep well all night. I didn't go to sleep until dawn.
When I wake up, I feel that the fever is almost gone, and then I find Ma Liang is coming again.
This time he brought a lot of nutrition, including milk, bread and fruit.
Most of all, he brought me toiletries.
"You are a big boss. You are used to living a good life. Are you not used to it? Anyway, you have to be patient and stay here for a few days. Just say what you need and I will let them send it to you." Ma Liang said.
"Let's talk." I said calmly.
"Well, eat first. This is the wonton I bought from the town. It tastes good. Eat it quickly." He handed me a lunch box.
I took it over. It's been a long time, but it's better than last night's meal.
Ma Liang called the two men, "you go for a walk, come back in the afternoon, ride this motorcycle, don't make trouble."
The two men cheered and rode away.
"The same question, why do you do it?" I asked Ma Liang.
"I was forced. You know, I just took the post of district chief. How could I want to do such a thing to affect my future? You know how much risk I took."
"Who can force you to do such a thing?" I asked, staring at him.
"You can guess." Ma Liang sighed helplessly.
"Lu Jia? Is the Lu family going to kidnap us? And why? "
"You'll know later." Ma Liang said.
I sneered, "you and Fang zhe have been brothers for so many years, but you have tied up his woman and old mother. You are a real brother. I admire you. You are really cruel. Are you not afraid that Fang zhe will let Gao Zhan burn your house?"
"I have to, and I don't want to, but what the Lu family wants me to do, I can only follow their orders."
"Oh, I see. Your district chief, who was carried up by the Lu family? I said, how can you rise so fast? It's near your thigh. So you become a dog of the Lu family. You have to bite whoever he asks you to bite. Is that right? "
"I took the post of district head because of the help of the Lu family. You are very smart, but I'm not their dog. I was forced."
I shook my head. "Tut Tut, just because the Lu family helped you get a promotion, you kidnap for their family. Do you know that this is a criminal offence and that you are going to jail? Don't you know that?"
"I was going to jail originally. It was the Lu family who helped me get rid of the prison disaster and promoted me. Of course, I have to obey them. You won't understand. Anyway, if you cooperate well, I won't embarrass you. Fang Zhe and I are brothers for many years. I promise you can live."
"The Lu family saved you from prison. What did you do before? Are you corrupt? "
"You don't have to ask. In short, you should cooperate well and don't want to run away. It's several kilometers from the road at the foot of the mountain and more than 20 kilometers from the nearest village. This road is built for the mine, and there are few people and cars, so you can't escape."
I nodded, "I understand. If I could escape easily, you would have tied me up, but you tied me up and kept me in prison. What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You'll understand after a while. You can't blame me for this. You can only blame you and Fang zhe for provoking the Lu family. I've already reminded you not to offend the Lu family. You just don't listen to me. You have to fight against the Lu family. Now it's really right to force this situation.""The Lu family took me as a threat and asked Fang zhe for conditions? No, the people of the Lu family are always cunning. They will not admit that they have something to do with kidnapping, so they will not do so. "
"If you don't understand, you don't have to think about it. Then you will understand. I don't want to. All these things are done by you." Ma Liang said.
