Chapter 37 third quarter

That night, Reiko sneaked into the big forest. She didn't bring a flashlight when she escaped, and it was very inconvenient to move. She could only move forward bit by bit with her hands stretched forward.If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will stop and go at a very slow speed.It seems to be deep in the forest here, with cliffs, caves, and bushes blocking the way. After she fled here, she knew that someone was chasing her from behind, and the beams of two flashlights shot into the forest in a hurry.One of them seems to be Seiji Suzuki, and the other seems to be Masaharu Naka.They echoed each other as they scurried back and forth in the forest.The car lights that Reiko saw when she escaped were probably from the car coming from her family.

The beams of two flashlights crossed and swept in the woods.At one point, the beam of light swayed past Reiko's hiding place.However, dense bushes wrapped her tightly. Reiko felt cold all over. The family and Suzuki also felt cold through the body.Reiko's escape made them lose a trump card.This is the only trump card that can give them an advantage in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy.And not only that, it would be even more difficult if Reiko went to the police and told everything. Both the police and the prosecutor's office are said to have acquiesced in the fight.Even if it is true.If Reiko confessed to the police, the police would have to take action and arrest Samuel; arrest the family group, and then make the whole incident public.

Cold fear suffocates the family and Suzuki.This can be seen from the two flashlight beams that jump wildly around. However, after a while, the beam of the flashlight stopped shooting, and they seemed to understand that it was futile. Reiko was still crouching in the shadows. Gradually her sense of terror faded, replaced by hatred for the gang. Reiko, who was imprisoned and abused by these beasts for a long time, had given up on escaping from the clutches, but when she saw Suzuki immersed in the sexual fetish of being abused, Reiko realized the possibility of escaping.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.With the rising of seeing the light of day again, there is an overwhelming disgust for the life of sex slaves.

I really want to kill Suzuki if possible. Now, she is full of hatred.She was still in terror, the only thing she was afraid of was being caught back again. Reiko was like a wounded beast, lying motionless in the depths of darkness. I can only squat like this until dawn. It was just dawn, and the milky white mist began to flow.Reiko set off in the mist.The thick fog embraced, making it impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly.Reiko pushed aside the fog curtain and moved forward slowly.She knew that at dawn, the enemy must conduct another frenzied search, and the farther away from here the better.

Reiko walked forward almost with her arms outstretched.Although the milky white fog was thick, the visibility was much better than the darkness of the night.In the twilight, upright tree trunks can be seen, as can the terrain.After two hours, the fog gradually faded away. When the fog dissipated, a virgin forest appeared in front of us.This is a virgin forest with nowhere to go.The tall beeches and bag trees are lush and green, and the ferns underneath are dense, reaching as high as a person's waist. On the other side of the endless fern grassland, there is a piece of mountain white bamboo.

Can see mountains ahead.There are also mountain peaks on the left and right sides.I don't know what mountain it is.Under the clear morning sun, the mountains are as fresh and bright as glass crafts, and the undulating ridgelines are so clear. It looked close enough to reach. Reiko stopped unconsciously and looked at the pleasant scenery for a while.She felt that the sharp valley line symbolized her new life and freedom. Reiko continued walking. About another six or seven hours.It's not easy walking in sandals.Now don't worry about chasing.What worries people now is not knowing where to go.There is still no road here.Sometimes Reiko went up the valley, and sometimes trudged through the bushes in the valley.She was very tired, but she kept walking.She came to a small stream.

The stream is not very deep.This place seems to be upstream, the water waves are transparent and glowing with celadon color.The sound of water flow is also so brisk and gurgling like the crisp sound of iron objects colliding. Reiko looked at it for a while, then walked down the stream. She took off her clothes, and she felt the taint of those guys seeping into her internal organs.She wants to wash off these stains with clean water.The stream water was stinging cold.Reiko walked slowly into the depths.Water up to chest. She dipped her head in the water and washed from head to breast.She was very serious about washing her lower body which was constantly ravaged by those beasts.

The cold water soaked the tired and weak muscles, and the physical strength was recovering.And the refreshing feeling of washing away the stains of humiliation also made Reiko rejuvenated. After washing, she walked to the shore. When she got to the shallows, she didn't feel nailed there. There is a person where the clothes are piled up.The man leaned against the rock, looking at Reiko. Reiko stood there in a daze.He didn't even have a handkerchief to cover his body.She stared naked at the intruder.I couldn't tell what this man was doing, his face was covered with deep wrinkles.

His eyes dimmed. He was dressed in light climbing clothes.Yet it was immediately obvious that he was not a climber, for there were no climbs in such a place.And he didn't even carry a rucksack, and only had an ice pick as a crutch in his hand. The visitor didn't speak, and Reiko's clothes were placed on the rock beside him. Reiko stared at the uninvited guest for a long time, thinking about it.Must be a tracker hired by someone in the family.They took this man who had been specially trained in the mountains and had a beast-like sense of smell to track him down. Without a single piece of clothing on his body, there was no way to escape.

Despair made Reiko's legs go weak, as if she was about to collapse.She felt that the freedom she had just gained was lost as easily as a bird flying away.She only heard a few faint cries, not even the sound of flapping wings. Reiko approached the visitor in despair.Her breasts are bare.The lower body is also not covered.At this point, what else is there to care about.It was time to endure the day and night humiliation again. "what are you doing?" The visitor looked into Reiko's eyes and asked. "Take a bath. Wash off the stains of those guys. But it's useless."

She picks up the clothes. "Who are those guys?" The visitor followed her gaze and asked. "What are you pretending to be confused about?" Reiko put on her briefs. "I really don't know, tell me." Someone took out a cigarette. The man had gray hair and seemed to be over sixty years old.There was something unusual in the gloomy eyes looking at Reiko. "I called you here" Reiko said as she pretended to bend over to put on her trousers, and picked up a fist-sized stone.She wants to kill him.If you see the opportunity, you will settle the account at once. "Don't try to kill me, girl." The man lit a cigarette and stood up, as if he had eyes behind his back. "If you don't kill me, kill me." Reiko threw a stone. Someone asked: "What is your name?" "Ask knowingly. Why, you want to rape me right here? It's a good job. Come, come. It's just a corpse. I'll just bite my tongue and die. I won't be a slave again." Reiko glared at the visitor with hatred in her eyes. "Come on, sit there." Someone pointed to a rock. Reiko silently walked to the rock and sat down.She was dressed and her sandals were ready.Now it's time to run away.But there is no chance to escape, because it is difficult to get rid of this guy in front of him no matter what. There was a strange sense of coercion about this man. "I am the thief who came and went without a trace, my name is Shi." Ichi stepped away a little, and said to Reiko. "Rogue." "Yes, I am a criminal with a record. According to the popular saying now, I am a robber. Sneaking into people's houses, tying up the master, and then looting money, this is my profession." The city smiled. Reiko felt that there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his smile, and there was something transparent deep in his gray face. Reiko was puzzled.If this man named Ichi who comes and goes without a trace is really a convicted robber, it's not a bad thing for Reiko.The question is, did this person come to hunt him down, or what did he come for?Reiko felt that he was a pursuer for a while, and felt that he was not for a while. Reiko watched nervously. "What's your name?" "Takachi Reiko." "It's Miss Reiko, what a good name." Shi suddenly looked away, looking at the shadow on his side face, Reiko felt that this person was not the pursuer.Can't tell where it looks like.Most importantly, she didn't feel a trace of murderous intent. "Who is chasing you?" Shi turned his gaze and asked. "At home, Masaharu, Suzuki Seiji and his team." Reiko answered honestly. "why?" "I don't know why. I was locked up as a prisoner by that group and became their tool for more than two months. I escaped last night." "So you wash your body here?" "Also cleansed. All completely defiled." "Indeed." Shi nodded, "Then, where do you plan to go?" "I can't tell where I'm going, the most important thing is to escape." "Which other party is the old nest of that group of people?" "I don't know. I've been walking since this morning. It's so easy to get here. What exactly is this place?" "It is Bandai Asahi National Park. It is located at the junction of Niigata Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture." "Is it……" Reiko's doubts about the city disappeared.she asked: "What are you doing in a place like this with no roads?" "I didn't do anything, but I was chased by the police and fled here. I borrowed a small house built by someone. Ah, it's interesting to live in the mountains this season." The city smiled, with a peaceful face that went along with the situation. "..." Reiko was silent. "However, sooner or later the police will follow. At that time, I had no choice but to escape, so I played hide-and-seek in the mountains every day. Just running around like this, being a robber is exhausting work." "Yes." This statement is interesting.Reiko knew that he didn't come to chase her, so she let go of her heart.It seems that the other party has no intention of harming himself.Reiko felt that there was still a kind of calmness in Ichi's body. "I have nothing here worth grabbing." Reiko said softly. "Have a body." "..." "You have a beautiful figure. Don't be afraid, though. I only take people's money, and I never take lives." "I'm not afraid." "Then let's go." City stand up. "..." Ichi turned his head and urged Reiko with his eyes. Reiko stood up silently, should she go with the city?She hesitated, unable to make a decision.I just think that the other party has no intention of harming others, but I don't know what is actually going on.If he wasn't lying, then he was a convicted robber, and she felt that of course he couldn't be trusted. Thinking so, Reiko still followed the city. If you want to go to the village, you should follow the city better.In this way, you will not get lost and you can go down the mountain smoothly. The city walked on without saying a word.He walks swiftly, not commensurate with his age.Reiko, who had been training in the mountains for beekeeping, could barely keep up.Her sandals are also one of the reasons why she can't walk fast. Reiko walked while observing the surrounding situation.The family group must be desperately searching for him. Perhaps they were afraid that Reiko would report to the police and fled without a trace. ——Where is Hanchuan? Reiko thought of her husband. Kurosawa Yoshiaki went to search for Hanchuan.I heard that Kurosawa seems to have a sense of searching for people.Samukawa, Samukawa, let's find out where Reiko is being imprisoned.Where exactly is Han Chuan wandering now? Han Chuan didn't know that Reiko had escaped.There is no way to tell him.His whereabouts are erratic.Even if Reiko went to look for him, she couldn't find him. Maybe never see him again.Reiko was deeply disturbed. Did Kurosawa find Hanchuan, or did Hanchuan get in touch with Kurosawa out of patience?If so, a brutal grappling would ensue.Would Samukawa think that Reiko was still in custody and be instigated by impatience to attack recklessly? Although she escaped smoothly and added some light to the future, the heavy darkness still weighed heavily on Reiko's newly resurrected heart. They are still walking. They explored the narrow paths and walked for nearly four hours.During this time, the city did not say a word. It was already evening when we reached the small house. It appears that this hut is a charcoal-burning hut that was used and thrown away.The city repaired the corroded wooden roof with holes.After repairing, it can finally be lived in. Reiko glanced into the room. "Whether you go or stay here, I don't care. If you go to the village in the dark, I will tell you the way. But I hope you don't say that the wandering city is here." The city entered the room. "I won't tell." "So, what do you want?" The city is preparing dinner and asking. "Can I stay here for the night?" She was afraid to walk at night. "Stay as many nights as you like: I may leave here tomorrow, though. If the police come, don't tell me." As the city spoke, a fire was lit. Grilled dried fish and open cans lay on the floor.Rice in a lunch box. Reiko became a guest. After finishing his meal, Shi took out his instant coffee. "I'm sorry," Reiko said to the city while drinking coffee, "Can you tell me about your life experience?" "Why did you become a robber?" "This is the same as asking why I was born." Sitting cross-legged.Although those feet are skinny, they give people a sense of tenacity. He said such a sentence, and there was no more text. The sun was setting. "There's no light here, so you can only sleep when it's dark. Find a place to sleep somewhere." At this point, it can only be done.I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and I started trekking on the mountain road early this morning, and I was already exhausted.Although it is necessary to be on guard against the market, it is useless to be on guard. Reiko lay down in the corner of the small shack. She fell asleep immediately.
