Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Escape (Part 2)

There is a lot of open space on the river beach, so the shacks are built so densely, which is of course intentional, and the purpose is to reduce the area.Surrounding 30,000 people in a small area is naturally much easier to control than in a large area. In the narrow passage between the sheds, the tide of people is silently flowing in the same direction. At first glance, it looks like a stream of dirty muddy water.A man and a woman were also in the crowd. The man held the woman's hand tightly, with an unusually nervous expression on his face. Then, they suddenly got out of the crowd, and without being noticed, they flashed into a passage on the left. Once they entered the empty passage, the man pulled the woman and rushed forward.

Since a belt with thirty catties of gold nuggets was wrapped around his waist, his running posture looked very strange, like an overfed duck. The criss-crossing narrow passages, where neither the moon nor the sun can shine through, are like a labyrinth. Two people are moving in the dark, it looks like two shadows, more like two lives. The labyrinth seemed endless, but the two shadows finally highlighted its fetters when the sound of the gong gradually faded away. The sound of the rushing river was ahead of them. It was a river with jagged protruding rocks under the river. On the rapid beach, the river water swirls countless water eddies on the rapid beach, and the sprayed waves collide with each other.

The water is so soft, and the rock is so hard. On this rapids, the extreme softness and extreme hardness are constantly circling from time immemorial.Flowing water is better than flowing, never ending; rock is better than standing upright and never bowing its head. The rapids occupy the entire section of the river, and this section of the river is a gap in man-made defense, and the responsibility for defense is left to nature.Although the water in the river is not deep, the current is so fast that no one can stand firm in the river. The consequence of being unable to stand still is being washed away by the rapids. It is inevitable to hit the strangely shaped rock, and the next consequence must be that the limbs hit by it will be broken, and the rock will never be damaged.

Moreover, the bottom of the river under the rapids is also extremely uneven. Under a whirlpool, there may be a large pool. If one accidentally steps into it, the chance of surfacing is zero. Moreover, even if I cross the river for you, so what?Unless you have the ability of a giant eagle, you can flap your wings and fly over cliffs hundreds of feet high. If you climb up slowly, if you have certain tools, you can naturally do it. Under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, is there any way to climb halfway without being noticed? Well, even if you climb over the cliff, no one knows what the situation on the other side of the cliff is. Legend has it that there are groups of black Yi tribes. They are extremely fierce natives. The weapons they use include A small machete specially designed for digging people is included.

Whether it is the Gelaohui, the Foreign Gang or the Yingsha Gang, they are very polite to this kind of fierce black Yi people. Occasionally, some of these people, armed with weapons, break into the territory of each gang, and they are treated with good wine and meat. Firstly, to avoid enmity, and secondly, the black Yi people don't care about gold nuggets.They will say that there are as many gold nuggets as pebbles in the untouched mountain streams, but only the super warriors of their clan can go to this kind of place! In short, this section of the river is a dead end, and the natural environment has blocked all exits. Humans cannot fight with the natural environment with bare hands, so there are never guards and patrols in this area.

For this reason, he actually chose this place as a way to escape. Perhaps he believes that no matter how dangerous the natural environment is, it is better than the human heart. If he really thinks so, is he right, or wrong? When he and she walked to the river beach, she hesitated for a while. Under the moonlight, she could see her expression, full of fear. He was also nervous enough, holding her hand tightly, and tremblingly said: "This is the only way to escape. In this section of the river, no one dares to go into the water to pan for gold. I dare. I have been familiar with the situation at the bottom of the river in the past three years, and I will definitely be able to cross the river."

She replaced the question with flexible, surprised eyes: what happens after crossing the river section? He stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and there was a towering cliff on the opposite side, covering the entire river in an extremely gloomy manner: "I have also surveyed, and there is a very narrow gap on the other side of the cliff, which can squeeze people in. Once I squeezed in without anyone noticing, it was a big hole that could lead to the outside." He managed to take a deep breath: "As soon as we get outside, we... will be alive." When he said this, it was obvious that he didn't really believe what he said, otherwise, why did he hesitate?

She didn't say anything, he shook her hand tightly again, walked a few steps forward, leaned over to pick up a bunch of strange things in the turbulent river water even at the riverside. That thing is a long cylindrical bamboo basket made of bamboo slices, and the basket is full of stones, there are four in total. He leaned over and tied one of them around his calf, motioning for her to do the same. She raised her crooked eyebrows, lifted a rather heavy bamboo basket full of stones, and tied her calves. The function of this thing is naturally to move one's center of gravity downward. Although every step is hard, it is not easy to fall or be washed away by the rapids.After they all tied up the bamboo baskets full of stones, they moved their legs with difficulty on the river beach, and even bent down, hugged their calves with both hands, lifted them up, and pushed them forward. .

But after both legs are immersed in the water together, you can barely start. The buoyancy of the water reduces the weight. The effect of buoyancy keeps them from moving an inch and allows them to move forward.As soon as they entered the range of the rapids, the sound of the roaring water made it impossible for them to talk—of course they can shout loudly, but don’t forget that they are fleeing. People who are fleeing always have a shadow of fear in their hearts, and they can’t help talking lower your voice. He gestured towards her, asking her to follow him every step of the way, so he was in front and she was behind.After walking a few steps, they were still quite far from the opposite bank, and the river water only dipped to their waists, but when the river water hit their bodies and submerged their heads almost every second, he was in front, watching But she had already slowly, with difficulty, but resolutely took out a very sharp knife from her abdomen.

The knife is extremely small, no bigger than a finger, and it is still a slender finger like hers, but the blade is shining, and it can be seen that it has been sharpened every day, and it has always been in the sharpest state knife. Then, she put her left hand on his shoulder, and he turned his head. She was already soaked through, the wet clothes were clinging to her body, the wet hair was sticking to her forehead, her face was covered with water, and her eyes were wet. , it looked more like a flower in the dew, he was a little dazed looking at it, obviously completely forgetting what kind of situation he was in.

At this moment, the sharp knife cut off the belt around his waist. When he felt a lightness on his body and realized that something had happened, it was already too late. It takes time for the human consciousness to know something first, and to transmit it to the limbs to respond. Although the time is short, it is often at that moment that the limbs can no longer accept the commands of the brain. That's how he was at the moment, and when he realized something was wrong, the knife had already been lifted up, and it stabbed in between the fifth and sixth ribs in his chest almost without bias, and stabbed it accurately. Hit his heart. He didn't seem to understand what happened, but just stared at her with wide eyes. As if she couldn't bear to watch, she slightly drooped her eyelids, and when her long eyelashes fluttered, there were drops of water falling from them, looking very moving. Another wave surged over, the river surged over their heads, she lightly drew out the knife, her body shook slightly because of the wave, but his body lost the strength to resist the impact of the wave, and fell down.Although there were heavy bamboo poles tied to his legs, it was useless to help him at that time. His fallen body spun around in the rapids, his shoulder hit a rock first, and the sound of bone cracking was heard in the current. Amidst the booming sound, it was actually audible, and then, after another turn, his head hit a rock again. The eyes that had been staring wide open disappeared under this impact.Then, it was spinning again, and colliding again. In the ancient circling of softness and hardness, he made an inexplicable victim. After the river rushes out of this rapids, what is left of him, that is only God knows. Perhaps, the calf tied with the bamboo basket full of stones will sink in the rapids for some days, and of course the final result is that everything will return to nature. She half turned around, turned her back to the direction where the waves were coming, and before the next wave came, she breathed a sigh of relief, moved slowly, and walked back to the river bank. Once she reached the beach, she bent over and cut the tie The bamboo basket on the calf, the whole person lies on the pebbles.He held a sharp knife in one hand, and a belt with thirty catties of gold in it in the other. The river water surged up and sometimes submerged her body. At this time, the river water should be bone-chillingly cold, but on her pretty face, there was no cold expression at all, on the contrary, it was a kind of frenzied excitement. She just killed a person and robbed that person of thirty catties of gold, but she didn't feel guilty at all, murders happen every day, stabbing the heart and dying instantly is better than having someone catch three Ten catties of gold nuggets are melted and poured into the mouth to die. So she looked as if she had just saved someone, feeling peaceful and satisfied. Supporting the river beach with her feet and elbows, she moved her body upwards.Then, half turned around, ready to rise. And at that moment, she saw a half-figure in front of her eyes.The shadow of the figure cast on the river beach full of cobblestones, although it seems a bit distorted, it is still an out-and-out figure. If there is no one, there will be no shadows. If there are shadows, there must be people.Not only was there someone, but that person must be very close to her, because what she saw was only the upper half of the figure.The lower half of the figure was on her body!That man was standing right behind her! Her movements froze suddenly, her nostrils flared abnormally, and her breathing stopped. At that moment, the blood in her whole body was probably frozen! She didn't move, and neither did the figure. It seemed that even time had stopped, and then, the figure moved first and gradually shortened, that is to say, the person behind her was slowly bending over! Only then did she feel cold, because her body trembled so violently that she couldn't do it even if she wanted to raise the knife in her hand. As soon as he lifted it, the sharp knife fell on the cobblestone instead. At this time, her face also became distorted due to the violent trembling.The muscles of the human face can make various changes. Among the creatures on the earth, only humans have this ability. Therefore, there are ever-changing expressions on the human face, which makes a pretty face appear in some Sometimes, it will look terrifying. That's how she was at that time. The person behind her was slowly bending down, watching his movements, as if he wanted to take a look at her face after bending down. But she only saw that the shadow was gradually shortening, and she knew that the person behind her was gradually approaching her. Originally, she would not be afraid of someone approaching under any circumstances—no matter what kind of approach it was, it was her life. One of the main content! However, under the current situation! She had just killed a person, still carrying the stolen gold in her hand, she left the area of ​​her activities stipulated by the entrance of the hall, and suddenly a person appeared quietly behind her, all of this meant that One thing: death! If death comes suddenly, before people feel fear, it is really nothing, because this is the law of life, and any life will inevitably die.But if death comes slowly and clearly, then, for a dying person, the fear that arises in his heart is far more painful than death! When the shadow became shorter and shorter, she didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly turned around to face the person who was behind her. At this time, she couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water, which had already blurred her vision. When she turned around, she only saw a face that she couldn't see very clearly. The face was very close to her, but it retreated suddenly. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. When she saw the face clearly, her panic and extreme surprise made her look even more beautiful. Sweeping away, it seems to become extremely terrifying! The person who appeared behind her had already bent down to look at her, but when she saw her suddenly turn around, he straightened up in surprise, and his expression was also inexplicable. Judging by his expression, it was clear that he thought that the person on the river beach was an acquaintance, so he approached her quietly. Who knew that after a glance, it was a face with completely distorted muscles, and he didn't recognize her at all. A beauty doesn't have to wait until after death, when the moving lines formed by the muscle fiber tissue disappear and turn into white bones, to make people feel like a pink skull, separated by a thin line.As long as the beauty is in her current situation, there is already a thin line between humans and ghosts. If a beauty wants to make herself ugly, she can use the changes in her facial muscles to achieve the goal. Expressions can turn nobility into baseness, tenderness into murderous intent, and beauty disappear, and any purpose can be achieved. After all, she is very good at controlling her emotions. Almost in an instant, the terrifying expression on her face disappeared, her eyes were full of waves, her small mouth seemed to be open and closed, as if there were countless sweet words to pour out, and even her body stopped. Trembling, leaning on his elbows, his chest straightened out, his head drooping slightly back, and he had the time to lightly brush his messy hair. The person who appeared suddenly also put away his surprised expression at this moment. To him, the terrifying image of her just now might just be a nightmare.He looks tall and straight, and his whole body is full of strength that is ready to burst out at any time, but he looks so young, and his face is as innocent as a doll. He quickly took off his sheepskin jacket and waved it to her. She stood up and took off her warm jacket and warm clothes in front of him. Under the cold moonlight, her The body emits a soft and white light. It is an extremely beautiful female body. Although the cold stimulates the arrector pili muscles on the soft and greasy skin, the whole arrector pili muscles contract, causing the hairs to stand up and form a pimple on the epidermis. The small hard particles don't look so smooth, but the scene is more moving. After putting on the sheepskin jacket, she snuggled into his arms, trembling gently.
