Chapter 17 Return to the world

In order to ensure that I wake up on time in the middle of the night, I drink a lot of water before going to bed. During these days, Zhong Chubo has gradually relaxed his supervision over me, and no longer tied me up at night when I slept.In the past, what I was most worried about was getting lost after escaping and not knowing how to get out of the mountain.But this time, I memorized the way to the farm.I thought, I could ask them for help.At least, I can also ask them to cover me and deliver the letter to the outside of the mountain for me. It was a moonlit night. When I quietly left Zhong Chubo and walked out of the cave, I found that the familiar mountains and forests suddenly became strange.Those green leaves and pine winds seemed to be full of spirituality at night, moaning strangely, and the branches and branches stretched out evil desires, as if they would stretch out at any time to bind me, sucking blood and eating flesh, not even spitting out bones.

I remembered the legend about the cannibalism, and suddenly understood why the scenes of the cannibalism in the movie were all matched with blue pictures. It was because the cannibalism in the moonlight looked the most deterrent. Suddenly there was a slight "swoosh" sound behind him, and something stepped on the dead leaves, approaching from far away.My hairs stand on end, it's Zhong Chubo, Zhong Chubo is catching up!I ran wildly, but Zhong Chubo was faster than me, and suddenly jumped up, with a sharp claw on my body, I screamed, and then I realized that it was not Zhong Chubo, but a wolf!Wolves scarier than people!

Just then, the gun rang out.I shouted in surprise: "Zhong Chubo!" This time it's Zhong Chubo!He arrived just in time! But that shot didn't hit the wolf's vitals. The wolf just paused, then turned around and flew towards him. Zhong Chubo fired another shot in a panic, but was thrown down.The wolf kiss went straight to his throat, and he grabbed it with both hands, rolling into a ball with the wolf. I didn't know where the strength came from, I broke off a pine branch and rushed towards it, and waved it at the wolf without thinking.The wolf was enraged, and gave up Zhong Chubo and rushed towards me again. I heard my arm break with a "click", so crisp, as if it didn't come from my body.At the same time, Zhong Chubo rushed over, hugged the wolf and rolled to the side, rolling all the way down the side ditch.

I hurriedly picked up the gun, and instinctively fired a shot into the darkness, and another shot.With a shrill wolf howl, the night was pierced like a sharp sword, but it returned to silence in an instant.I climbed over with difficulty and shouted to the bottom of the valley: "Zhong Chubo! Zhong Chubo!" No one answered me. I panicked, Zhong Chubo, is he dead?Got shot?I, I killed him? The pain in my arm came and went, but I didn't care, I warned myself, no, I can't pass out, I have more important things to do. I climbed down the ditch wall a little bit, and saw a man and a wolf lying quietly at the bottom of the valley, with the man's hands still tightly around the wolf's neck.

My arm was so painful that I couldn't lift it, so I had to put my ear close to his chest and listen: Boom!Boom!he is alive!His heart is still beating!That was the most beautiful sound in the world!But how weak and powerless is that voice! I tried to lift him up, but to no avail.I thought about climbing to the farmhouse alone to ask for help, but I was worried that when I left, another wild wolf would pass by.The only thing I can do is to pick up the weeds and dead branches, light them with the lighter I carried with me, and then lift up his head to examine carefully. His head and face are covered with blood, his clothes are torn, and his hair and beard are tangled. They were in a ball, and they couldn't even see the condition of the wound, but there was no gunshot wound at all.

I let out a sigh of relief. But at this moment, I heard him call clearly: "Aqin, are you here?" Horrified, I rolled over and sat up, smelling a familiar smell of formalin in my nostrils. That's right, Xu Nongqin is here, and she's finally here for her life! The moonlight pours like water.I looked back at Zhong Chubo's face. He was in a deep sleep, groaning or raving once or twice, and his thick and short eyebrows were tightly knit together, as if he was in great pain.He said that ghosts are afraid of evil people, and there is nothing they can do to play with the soul of the piano.But that was when he was healthy and strong, but now, he is exhausted physically and mentally, when his energy and physical strength are at their weakest, and it is also in the middle of the night, when the yin energy is at its strongest, he is no longer playing the soul of the piano. opponent.Xu Nongqin, are you really going to take him away this time?

"No!" I begged to the night sky, "You can't do this! You can't take revenge on him at this time! I know he is sorry for you, but I can't let you take him away at this time! I can't! " I hugged Zhong Chubo tightly with my healthy arm, hoping to warm him with my body and pass my yang energy to him.Zhong Chubo, I don't want you to die, I don't want you to die like this! Suddenly, I thought of the flickering candlelight night and the carefree incantation that night, I closed my eyes and read it loudly. The moon rises to the middle of the sky, and the moonlight shines through the forest tops, mottled and bright, infinitely weird.

Songtao and insects were all silent. My spell is the only sound in the night. The pain in my arm became more and more severe. I clenched my teeth and held on, not allowing myself to fall down.I have a feeling that if I can last until tomorrow morning, Zhong Chubo will be saved!I must hold on! The east is getting brighter, the shadow of the moon is fading, fading, the smell of formalin is like the coat of the moon, and it is gradually falling off. Zhong Chubo tossed and turned, his lips opening and closing. Instinctively aware of his needs, I quickly stood up, took off my coat with one hand, soaked the dew on the clothes, wrung out the water, and dripped it on his dry lips.

His lips moved slightly, sucking greedily with difficulty. My tears fell, and he sucked them into his mouth together, maybe because he felt the saltiness of the tears, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at me blankly, and hesitated to speak.But I have already cried out in surprise: "Are you awake? You are awake!" I finally woke him up and revived him!The bulging joy made me want to sing, and it was hard to control myself. "You're awake!" I cried and laughed, and kept wiping his burning cheeks with my wet clothes, hoping to cool him down a bit. His mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, and after a long time, he finally said, "Why?"

I froze. His words were incomplete, but I understood that he was asking me why I saved him and why I was so happy.Why? I hate him.She painstakingly found out the evidence of his crime, and wanted to bring him to justice and put him to death, to avenge Xu Nongqin, and to clear himself up.However, when his life and death were in my hands, I didn't hesitate for a moment, and all I wanted was to keep him alive.Why? But I have been unable to answer.With him waking, the last of my strength and will was gone.I said again: "You're awake!" Then my eyes went dark and I fell limp.

When I woke up, I didn't know where I was for a long time. A face with beard and hair connected but full of kind smile approached me: "Are you awake?" The face was hidden behind the beard and hair, but the voice was familiar, it was Zhong Chubo. "Zhong Chubo?" I called softly, "How did you become like this?" "I didn't sleep for two days and nights, I didn't wash my face, I didn't shave, and that's it." "Have I been asleep for two days?" I tried to struggle to sit up, but my arms were stiff, numb and disobedient. It turned out that I had already been splinted—two boards sandwiched my arms and tied them with ropes, a very ancient bone-setting method.The room is filled with a strong herbal fragrance, and I have a little guess of my situation. Sure enough, when the door curtain was lifted, a dark-faced but kind-hearted old man came in with a bowl of soup medicine, and said with a smile: "Girl, my old man has not learned Chinese medicine in vain for a few years. After all, I will take your life from Lord Hell." The hard pull came back. Once in a while, even if I close my eyes and die tomorrow, I am worthy of practicing medicine all my life." "Doctor, you saved me?" I couldn't help but blush when I thought of visiting his house when I was a "salt thief". Bar. "Doctor?" The old Chinese doctor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "In this life, no one has called me a doctor. Are you a kid from the city? Everyone here calls me a doctor." I suddenly remembered one thing. Zhong Chubo is proficient in various dialects. He must not have told the truth to this old Chinese doctor. He probably said that we are people from this mountain or a nearby village. It's really hard to see the difference among the mountain people. The old Chinese doctor probably didn't know that we came from the city until this time, right?So, he had received a wanted warrant before, wouldn't he have thought that Zhong Chubo was the wanted criminal on that notice? I peeked at Zhong Chubo, he was looking at me anxiously, he clearly didn't think of those scruples, he just urged the doctor, oh no, doctor: "She's awake now, is she all right?" "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." The old doctor put down the medicine bowl, rolled over my eyelids, touched my forehead, looked at my splinted arm repeatedly, and finally shook his head and said, "It's very hard to say now." "It's hard to say? Didn't you say that you have pulled her back from Lord Yan?" "My life must be brought back, but this arm..." "Arm? Didn't you already set her bones?" "But didn't you see that her wound was inflamed? I was still wondering why this baby's body is so weak. It turned out to be a baby from the city. That's no wonder, the resistance is too weak, and it can't resist a little illness or disaster. , I’ve been in a coma for so long, I’m lucky I didn’t burn out my brain. If our mountain baby, hmph, let alone break an arm, break a leg, break a rib, as long as the bone is connected, you can go to the ground on the spot; walk, where? Know what inflammation is... Hey, in my opinion, you'd better go back to the city, where there are imported anti-inflammatory drugs, I am in a remote village, Chinese medicine can treat chronic diseases, but I'm not sure about acute inflammation like this Two days ago, I saw the baby’s situation was too urgent. I was afraid that it would be delayed to send the baby outside the mountain. , but this is just a short-term solution. I'm not sure if I want her to be completely smooth. Even if I take traditional Chinese medicine and cure it, this arm will probably be left with some disabilities, a little 'bone hyperplasia', protruding bones and joints "What's the sequelae? Originally, if we were a baby in the mountains, it wouldn't matter if we turned our elbows and came out. It would be fine if we didn't delay the farm work, but the children in the city are different. They all love beauty. Look at this baby. I'm afraid I don't want to twist her arm, and she has a fever again, so this situation is not stable. If we are a baby in the mountains, two bowls of medicine will be fine, but the baby in the city is different..." The old man talked for a long time about "a baby in the mountains and a baby in the city", but his main meaning was nothing more than one: He couldn't heal my injury here, so he had to send me to the city. And entering the city means that Zhong Chubo's identity will be exposed, he will be arrested and sentenced to death, as I said, I will be sent to the gallows with my own hands, although it is not me who catches him and puts him on the gallows. Handed it over to the police, but the result was the same. I looked at Zhong Chubo. Now, my safety is in his hands, and his future is also in my hands.Either I continue to flee with him with a broken arm, or he pays for my arm. However, as if he hadn't thought about it at all, he said bluntly to the old man: "Then what are you waiting for? Find a way to send her into the city!" I was stunned and couldn't help calling him: "Zhong Chubo!" He froze for a moment, but he also came to his senses, but there was no hesitation in his eyes, and he still said as a matter of course: "We must immediately find a way to send you to the city for medical treatment. I can't let your perfection be lost a little bit." Tears suddenly blinded my eyes, am I perfect?Is my perfection more important than his life? Zhong Chubo held my hand: "Chen'er, you said that even a flower can hurt, let alone you? Maybe I should have learned from you a long time ago, learned to respect life, and learned to live seriously. Not too late." The old man couldn't understand what we said, but after hearing a word about going to the city, he immediately said: "If you really want to send it to the city, then we have to let our family go on the road tonight, this girl will definitely not be able to walk the mountain road Yes, an ambulance has to be dispatched from the city to let someone pick her up..." Zhong Chubo took out a stack of money: "Old doctor, everything is up to you. Whatever you want to do, just do as you say." It was probably the first time in his life that the old Chinese doctor saw so much money, and he took a step back as if the money would burn his hands: "This... this..." I sighed, Zhong Chubo's move can be described as suspicious, it is obvious that he has gone all out, and he doesn't care about other people's eyes and suspicions. Anyway, as long as the old doctor of Chinese medicine comes to the city tomorrow, Zhong Chubo's identity will definitely be exposed. Covering up is useless. At this moment, I finally understood how deep Zhong Chubo's love for me was. If we could have met earlier, if I hadn't met, he would have never married Xu Nongqin. Most importantly, he had never committed so many unforgivable things Maybe we will fall in love with each other, just like a pair of brother and sister birds in the mountains, loving each other and flying together, but it's too late, too late... The eldest son of the old Chinese doctor set off. I know that this is the last night I spend with Zhong Chubo, if he is not willing to wait here and be caught without a fight, he must leave before dawn. It was getting brighter little by little.He looked at me with reluctance in his eyes, but he still pretended to be unrestrained, and said with a forced smile: "I have already decided to return you to Ke Weizuo. With you like this, staying with me will only drag me down. I can't I'll take you away." I suddenly felt sore nose. "Zhong Chubo, if, if you surrender yourself, will you be sentenced to death?" "You want me to turn myself in?" He stared at me. "I'm very conflicted." I said frankly, "Didn't you say that you hope to learn to live a serious life? But carrying so many sins and fleeing all the way, how can it be a serious life? But..." I lowered my head , "If the result of pleading guilty is a dead end, I will..." "You don't want me to die, do you?" His eyes were shining, his tone was fiery.I know that he is longing for my promise and confession, but I don't want to give him such illusions and illusions. In my heart, there is only Ke Yiran, and I can't betray his love, even in the misunderstanding of others. Can. Zhong Chubo's eyes darkened. He walked to the window and looked at the sky silently. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and approached me, and quickly said, "They are here! Chen'er, I'm leaving; but as long as you say a word, I will I will stay for you, I would rather die." I looked at him and didn't understand why he was treating me so well.How can a killer have such deep and strong feelings? Does this still look like Zhong Chubo?At this time, I really hope that he can be cruel and selfish, just like a real murderer, so that my heart will not be so wandering, hesitant, and at a loss.After a long time, I finally said: "You go, I will not report you." He suddenly closed his eyes. At that moment, I suspected that I was wrong, didn't I?Was it tears that flashed in his eyes? He lowered his head, kissed me quickly on the forehead, and said softly: "Chen'er, I really miss you." Before I could react, his figure had disappeared behind the door. Then, in the distance, I heard the sound of a police car.
