The robber leader''s Halberd stopped in mid air, and more than a dozen figures rushed out of the pine forest.

    "Chechen!"

    "Uncle Pedro." Chechen heard his uncle Pedro''s voice.

    The robber leader grabbed Che Chen''s neck, lifted him up, and then put his arm around his neck. The two men followed suit and put a hatchet on Yuri''s neck.

    "Don''t come here. Come here again and I''ll kill both of them." said the robber leader fiercely. At this time, the distance between the two groups of people was less than ten meters.

    "Let them go!" said Pedro to the robber leader, waving his smoking pistol. Obviously, Pedro fired the gun just now.

    "Let them go?" the robber leader also pulled out the pistol on his waist. He put the muzzle of the gun hard on Chechen''s temple, looked at Chechen with a painful expression, looked at Pedro and several guns behind him, and said, "let them go. Do I still have life?"

    "As long as you are willing to release people, I will agree to any conditions." Pedro motioned the people behind him to lower the muzzle of the gun and put on the appearance that all conditions can be discussed.

    "How''s my man?" the robber leader asked his companions instead of any conditions.

    "There are seven people in our hands," said Pedro. Obviously, he was afraid of angering the robbers and deliberately said that he had lost the other party''s death and injury.

    Hearing what Pedro said, the robber leader showed a sad expression.

    After beating Pedro, they ran out of the pine forest. The leader had a premonition that his men were bad, but when he really heard that so many brothers had died, the robber leader was still sad. His two companions also looked sad.

    "I want these two guys to be buried with my brother." the robber leader looked like a devil. He pulled the trigger of his pistol.

    "Slow down, slow down. If you kill both of them, your companions will not survive. At that time, so many fire guns on our side will fire together, and you will not survive. Why don''t we make a deal." seeing that the robber leader was about to lose his mind, Pedro quickly tried to calm him down.

    "What deal?"

    "You have seven people on our side, and our seven people exchange our two people." Pedro put forward the exchange terms.

    His seven brothers exchanged their two children. Obviously, he made money on his side. The robber leader was obviously aware of this. He slowly closed the open trigger back, and his arm pinching Che Chen''s neck was not so tight.

    "How''s it going?" Pedro asked again.

    "This condition is not good enough," said the robber leader.

    "What do you want?" said a mercenary behind Pedro angrily. He seemed to forget that he had no so-called seven prisoners at all.

    "In addition to people, I want money. A lot of money." obviously, the robber leader also knew that the initiative was in his own hands, and he began to talk to the lion.

    "We can give you three hundred Taylor," Pedro offered. Three hundred Taylor, just the booty seized this time.

    "Three hundred? Give me? That''s my money." but the robber leader was not stupid. He immediately saw the fishiness inside.

    "How much do you want?" asked Pedro, seeing that the robber had not been fooled.

    "Two thousand Taylor." the robber leader offered his price.

    "OK, two thousand is two thousand."

    "I want it now," said the robber leader.

    "No one can take out two thousand Taylor at once. I can give you three hundred first and redeem them when we have enough money," said Pedro.

    Obviously, the robber leader also felt that it was unrealistic to ask these people to take out two thousand Taylor immediately. He was silent for a moment and said, "OK, but you must let people go first."

    "No. if you let someone go, what will you do if you go back?" this time, Pedro didn''t think about it and immediately refused. Are you kidding? He has only two prisoners in his hand (he doesn''t know that they have been killed by Malone).

    "Let them go first, or I''ll kill them." the robber leader threatened.

    The negotiations seem to have reached an impasse again. The robbers must let Pedro go first, and the so-called seven hostages are just a lie that Pedro told to stabilize the robber leader. Unless God shows up and resurrects those bodies, Pedro can''t do the hostage thing at all.

    At this time, something unexpected happened. Pedro slapped his gun on the snow. With a red face and jumping feet, he shouted: "Shoot, shoot. I won''t talk about it. I don''t want to be threatened by you scum anymore. Shoot, shoot. It''s a big deal. You killed one of us. Anyway, the blonde boy is just a guide. I''ll kill the three of you and bury him. It''s a big deal. We''ll take out a thousand Taylor to his family. It''s better than being threatened by you, I, aleval Pedro, will never be threatened by anyone. "

    Some people will do hysterical things once they are forced to a desperate situation. The robber leader doesn''t know whether the guy in front of him is in this state or not. But he doesn''t dare to gamble. Chechen and Yuri are the only chips in their hands. He is willing to put a low price and temporarily give up his request to return the prisoners, but he is afraid that he will speak out first.

    On Pedro''s side, Fidel and others were also embarrassed. Because they couldn''t tell if Pedro was telling the truth.

    Both sides are so wide eyed.

    At this time, as a hostage, Cherchen said something.

    "Mr. robber, I don''t think you should ask our regiment commander to release your companions at this time. Those people must have been injured in the fight just now and can''t move easily. Even if our regiment commander released them, how far can you take them? Besides, putting the injured people outdoors in such a cold day is not to save them, but to harm them."

    As a hostage, Chechen didn''t tremble like Yuri. Although he was naive and naughty all day, it was a childlike innocence of his age. When there was a real disaster, Xiao Chechen calmed down instead.

    He saw that uncle Pedro''s hysteria was true and false. Maybe his uncle had no hostages at all; He relied on this tough way to force the robbers to submit in order to buy time. Although the robber who kidnapped him had a hard mouth, his arms around his neck were tight and loose. Obviously, his heart was also in contradiction and struggle. Therefore, Che Chen said these words and gave the robber leader a step. He wants to buy time for himself and uncle Pedro, whether saving himself or being saved.

    "Are my brothers seriously injured?" the robber leader began to go down the slope. Obviously, he also felt that the stalemate was not the way.

    "Heavy," said federo.

    "Heavy," caddis said.

    "Well, you heal my brothers first. Bring me the people and money tomorrow. I''ll send someone to inform you of the location. If one person and one Taylor are missing, I''ll kill them."

    With that, the robber leader handed the car to the injured companion next to him, untied a sledge with a gun and sat on it.

    Immediately, two robbers also escorted Cherchen and Yuri to sit up.

    "Remember, a person, a Taylor can''t be less." the robber leader stressed again, then waved his whip, the sledge scratched two scratches on the snow and drove north.
