Chapter 21

"Brat, I've killed living people, why would I be afraid of an old ghost like you?"

Realizing that the other party was not a ghost, Qin Feng's courage instantly grew. However, since he was only separated from the guard post by a wall, he did not dare to make too much noise. He took a step back with his right foot, inserted it between the legs of the shadow, lowered his shoulders, and suddenly leaned back.

The move Qin Feng used was precisely the "Mountain Lean" from the Baguazhang that the second son of the Liu family had once practiced.

Although he did not have the foundation of Liu Cheng, Qin Feng still used the "Mountain Lean" in a standard manner, fully utilizing the close-range combat advantages of Baguazhang without making any large movements.

Qin Feng believed that even if he could not knock down a wall like Liu Cheng, the burst of strength in his body would be enough to knock the person behind him to the ground. However, Qin Feng did not want to hurt anyone, so he only leaned back and reined in his strength.

"Heh heh, this move works on people, but not on ghosts!"

Just as Qin Feng extended his right foot, a light laugh suddenly came from his ear, and the continuous movement did not even touch the ghostly shadow.

With a "thud," Qin Feng's body heavily collided with the wall. Fortunately, he had a bit of kindness in his heart and did not use full force; otherwise, this one blow would have left him unable to get up for a long time.

"Who's there?" The sound finally woke up the guard on the watchtower.

As the shout echoed, several large lights turned on above Qin Feng's head. Although he knew that they could not see outside the wall, Qin Feng still held his breath in tension.

"Who is it?!"

A loud shout came from the watchtower. Fortunately, Qin Feng had not left many traces inside the wall during his escape. After checking with the light, the guard turned off the lights, allowing Qin Feng, who was tightly pressed against the wall, to take a deep breath.

"Kid, you know fear too?"

Before Qin Feng could relax, a voice suddenly came from above him, scaring him into assuming the Baguazhang stance and looking up.

This look made Qin Feng freeze. A person was clinging to the wall about a meter above his head, like a gecko, looking down at him.

The person seemed to have no intention of hiding. After being seen by Qin Feng, he lightly slapped the wall with both palms and floated down like a leaf, landing without making a sound.

Seeing the person approach, Qin Feng took several steps back and whispered, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you always watching me?"

From the person's actions, Qin Feng could sense that he did not seem to have any ill intentions. If he wanted to harm him, he could have just shouted, which would have alerted the armed police stationed about a hundred meters northeast of the prison, leading to Qin Feng's capture.

"I am a soldier, you are a thief. You want to escape, so of course I have to watch you."

The person chuckled, but he wore a large straw hat with a low brim, so Qin Feng could only tell that his voice was somewhat old. He could not see his face clearly and did not fully believe what he said. He had been in the juvenile detention center for over a month and almost recognized everyone.

"Are you a soldier? I doubt it, we're all thieves, aren't we?"

While trying to regulate his breathing, Qin Feng said, "I'm just a kid, and I was wrongly accused. I want to find my sister, please let me go..."

Having wandered with his sister for over five years, Qin Feng was not the type to stubbornly stick to one path. He knew that if this escape failed, the consequences would be severe. So, no matter what, he had to escape tonight. A man can be flexible, and if he was not strong enough, bowing to the other party was not a problem.

The person shook his head and said, "Kid, if you leave, your life will be ruined. Even if I don't stop you, you won't find your sister."

"Then don't bother with me."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Qin Feng said, "If you let me go today, Qin Feng will repay you in the future. I hope you can help me."

"No!"

Seeing Qin Feng about to move, the person blocked him again and said, "You have a tough fate before the age of sixteen, and you are a curse to your family. Even if you find your sister, it might not be good for her."

"I'm a curse to my family? You... you're lying."

The person's words made Qin Feng's heart stir. He did not believe in fortune-telling, but what Old Liu had said had already come true for him, making him somewhat doubtful.

"If it weren't for a noble person's help, you would have died long ago..."

Seeing that Qin Feng seemed to be swayed, the person's voice suddenly became unusually gentle, and he said, "Young man, trust me, follow me back, it's the right thing to do."

"Okay, I... I'll follow you, wait, what kind of magic did you use?"

For some reason, hearing those words, Qin Feng blurted out his agreement. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was wrong.

"Heh, you're quite something, kid."

Qin Feng's quick reaction surprised the person. Looking up at the sky, he said, "It's the middle of the night, why waste time talking? You go back to your cell, and I'll give you a month to find your sister within a year, how about that?"

"A month out of a year?"

Qin Feng rubbed his ears and laughed in anger, "Do you think this prison is your home? You can just let me out whenever you want? Besides, if I go back now, I'll definitely be caught by the armed police. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"You're so young, yet so cautious, you're a promising one."

Hearing Qin Feng's questions, the person laughed and said, "Kid, follow me, don't try anything funny. If you run, I'll shout that someone is escaping!"

After saying this, the person turned and walked away, not afraid that Qin Feng would run.

Qin Feng knew he could not fight this person, and even if he ran, he could not outrun a shout. He had no choice but to follow obediently.

Walking along the wall for about forty meters, Qin Feng was surprised to find that the person pushed open a door and walked straight in. Behind the door was the outermost part of the prison, where the guards rested.

Putting a finger to his lips, the person's movements became light and agile. He led Qin Feng through twists and turns, and a few minutes later, Qin Feng saw the barbed wire fence he had initially climbed over.

What puzzled Qin Feng the most was that this person had many keys to the main gates. Normally, only the guards would have these keys, but Qin Feng could not figure out why the guards would handle his escape this way.

Stopping at the barbed wire fence, the person said in a low voice, "Alright, kid, it's almost dawn. Go back early, I'll find you tomorrow."

"Who... who are you?"

From the moment this person appeared and led him back into the prison, Qin Feng had never seen his face, which left him feeling very unsatisfied.

Moreover, seeing that things seemed to have returned to the starting point, Qin Feng was somewhat amused and frustrated. He did not know whether to thank this person or hate him to the bone.

If he were to thank him, the person had not exposed his escape, which was a favor to Qin Feng. But it was also this person who had sent him back, depriving him of a chance for freedom.

"You'll know tomorrow, stop talking nonsense, go back quickly. If you get caught and get more time, I won't be responsible."

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the person became impatient. After urging Qin Feng, he left calmly, seemingly not afraid that Qin Feng would escape again.
