Chapter 41 Section VII

Reiko did not go down the mountain that day. She originally planned to stay overnight and went down the mountain early this morning.Her plan didn't work out because she was deeply moved by the heavy sorrow that the city harbored. Moreover, there is no target to go to when rushing down the mountain.She also has no money.At that time, I only wanted to escape from the tiger's mouth as soon as possible, but I didn't care about these things.If you just go down the mountain like this, you will have neither food nor money to travel. What to do, she herself has no idea. Shi seemed to see her predicament, and asked her if she had any money. She told the truth, and Shi silently took out two 10,000-yuan bills from her bosom.

Reiko was moved to tears by Shi's sincerity, she only wanted 10,000 yuan and returned the other one to Shi. "If you want to steal this money, you can have as much as you want. You'd better take it." The city said and smiled. Reiko clasped her hands in front of Kashi's photo.She picked wild flowers, offered them in front of the photo, and prayed for her for a long time.He lost his mother when he was four years old, and his young body was entrusted to the soil and gradually rotted away at the age of fourteen.Reiko felt Kashi's sorrow in detail.Reiko couldn't bear it whenever she thought about the tragic scene of her imminent death and her young heart being devoured by fear.

In the afternoon, it was very late, and the city urged her to go down the mountain to the town, and it was time to leave.Reiko, however, did not move. The city did not bring up the matter again. He said to Reiko, why are those people chasing you.If you can, can you tell me? Do you want to talk?Reiko hesitated for a long time. In the end, she still briefly talked about the incident from Hanchuan's killing and prosecuting.She said she did this because she didn't want to rely on the police. The city leaned against the wooden wall and listened silently. When Reiko finished speaking, he didn't express any thoughts, only muttered that the experience was bad enough.

Night fell again. After supper, both of them lay down. "Is there no way to get in touch with your husband?" City asked. "No." "Pitiful." The city murmured. "You too. For Kashi to be happy in the underworld, she will be happy to settle down somewhere." She felt sad for sleeping in the city for one or two nights in the hut temporarily borrowed with her daughter's tablet. "That's what I intend." The city replied in a deep voice. Reiko couldn't fall asleep anyway.The sense of security of escaping from the devil's lair is buried by the uneasiness of an unpredictable future.Her mind kept wandering in darker directions.

She tossed and turned. "If I had the strength, I could hide it for you." Shi said, as if he couldn't bear Reiko's distress. "Thank you. But you have helped me a lot. I hope to repay you someday." "Say something," said the city with a smile, "I'm a bad person, living only on other people's money. My daughter is dead, and I hate my own evil deeds very much. I regret why I can't live decently. But already It's too late. It can't work now." The city laughed at himself. "I can only avoid other people's eyes and ears, and live secretly in some remote place."

Reiko suddenly remembered the scene of beekeeping in the past.She thought, that kind of peaceful life would never come again, Han Chuan had already killed two prosecutors.This is a hunt that knows it will destroy everything.Will the four enemies be killed in the end, or be killed?Whether it is victory or defeat, that kind of peaceful life will never come. Reiko's mind flashed the scene of the city and the three of them chasing the flowering season from south to north. She thought lonely, even this bit of happiness was gone forever. The crowing of insects is louder, telling that autumn is not far away.

When the city opened his eyes, it was still not very bright. He was woken up by peeing.He quietly got up to go outside, and spread a thin layer of fog on the ground.In this mist, there is a person. The man was partially buried in the mist from the waist down, moving gently as if floating. This man was tall, as if he was going to inspect the hut, he walked towards this side, and then stopped as if nothing had happened. He was less than ten meters away from the hut. The city took the wooden knife in the corner of the hut in his hand.In case of accident, this is a self-defense weapon.Wooden knives are made of oak.

"Someone is here." Ichigo looked out from the crack in the plank wall and called out to Reiko. "Who?" Reiko jumped up. "have no idea." Although he didn't know it, the city thought it was definitely not the criminal policeman, and the man stood there looking at the hut.His face could not be seen clearly, but from the way he pretended to be nonchalant, he was not an ordinary person, he was not a climber or hiker, and his clothes showed it. Obviously, the visitor has noticed that there are people in the cabin. Reiko peeped out from the cracks in the planks, and immediately thought that this person might come after her.

It was impossible to tell who it was from the gap, and the milky white mist hid him. "Not good." As the city said, he quickly put away the photos and tablets. "That man may be a criminal policeman who came to arrest me. I'm not so easy to catch. Run away quickly. But you didn't do anything bad..." When he finished speaking, it was also ready. He approached the door with a wooden knife in his hand. Reiko was still watching through the gap. "coming?" The person came slowly.The lower body is still buried in the mist. "In this case……" The city turned to ask Reiko.

"Be careful and pray that-" Reiko swallowed the latter words.She was surprised and said: "It's not the detective, it's Kurosawa! They're arresting me!" When she recognized it was Kurosawa Yoshiaki, the blood on her body seemed to freeze instantly. "Yes?" Shi stopped the foot that was just about to step out the door. "That's right." Reiko trembled, her muscles stiffened.She already felt the pain of being captured and beaten. She was so scared that she couldn't breathe. "Is it." Shi looked at Reiko, her face was pale and disfigured.

"Don't be afraid." Ichi put his hand on Reiko's shoulder. "But, but," Reiko said angrily, "he's a criminal police officer, he's very good, it's over." "I'm not a robber for nothing. I've done a lot of things to train myself. I won't lose to him." "..." Reiko snuggled up to Ichi. "Don't worry, you'll get away safe and sound. Maybe it'll be the only good thing I'll ever do when I'm born." Ichi patted the shoulder of the approaching Reiko, resolutely left Reiko, and went to the door.When he got to the door, the city became another person. "Who's in there?" Kurosawa's voice came. "I knocked that guy down, you take advantage of this time to run away, I have to leave this hut today, when will I—" At this point, the city stopped. He came out of the cabin. "who is it?" The city stared at Kurosawa.The opponent's face was fierce and indifferent. "Come to hunt for a woman, a woman named Reiko." "I don't know this woman." There is a distance between the city and Kurosawa. "To search the cabin." Kurosawa didn't know who the old man in front of him was, but he felt the murderous look in the other's eyes. Reiko is hiding in the hut, it seems that there is nothing wrong. Reiko escaped late at night on August 8th, and today is August 11th. After knowing that Reiko had escaped, Kurosawa used a 1/50,000th map to track her down. Reiko was unlikely to be in town; if so, it would be difficult to find.She might get lost, though.It is likely that once she escaped she got lost.Before searching the town, Kurosawa visited the mountains based on a one-fifty-thousandth map. Kurosawa, like a seasoned hunting dog, smells the scent of prey and follows Reiko's trail.However, there was no trace.What route would Reiko choose if she met Xiaoxi?He thought about it, even taking Reiko's fatigue into account, and finally, he chose the direction Reiko might go. In this way, he walked for two days. However, he got nothing, and he gave up any hope of tracking. He wanted to check the hut marked on the one-fifty-thousandth map before returning. "What do you want to check?" The city casually leaned his hands on the wooden knife on the ground and asked. "Don't come in my way." "So what if it gets in the way?" The city smiled, but his narrowed eyes shot a sharp light towards Kurosawa. "Don't do anything stupid." "Don't do anything stupid." "It's a guy who doesn't let people talk!" Who is this?Kurosawa couldn't see it at all. "Are you a criminal police officer?" "yes." Kurosawa nodded. "I think the only people who do bad things at this age are robbers and burglars." "..." The fog cleared. "In this world where prosecutors and lawyers also kill people, there is no mercy at all. So, even the former criminal police came out to bite people." "There's a reason for that." "The reason, everyone has it." With his back to the hut, the city stood still. Reiko looked out intently.From Shi's thin back, she saw her father's figure. —if the father is still alive. Father can beat Kurosawa to lie down in one stroke.At this moment, Shi stood still, just like his father. Reiko prayed towards Ichi's back. "who are you?" Kurosawa also felt that the other party was not an ordinary person. "Me? It's a robber." "robber?……" "Although he is a robber, he hasn't killed anyone yet. But..." As the city said, he took a big step forward. "You want to kill someone this time?" "I have this plan." The city slowly raised the wooden knife. The light waves of the morning sun came over.The sun shone obliquely from behind the city, dyeing the city's white hair golden yellow. "Boy!" cried the city.He yelled, and immediately bounced off the ground, with the wooden knife whistling in the wind, rushing towards him. Kurosawa turned and ran. The city chased after him, and the high-raised wooden knife wiped a layer of morning light, and struck the bushes like lightning. The city is as agile as an ape, running fast.
