Chapter 57: Truth and Cannons
Wu Zhongyuan's mind is full of these words now, not only thinking in his head, but also scolding in his mouth, he has always thought that he is very lucky, but he didn't expect that his luck is not good, not only is it bad, it is simply extremely bad, running from 800 miles away to let people bombard, this is so unlucky.
At first, he still had a hint of illusion that the cannon would be fired somewhere else, but with a deafening explosion not far away, his illusions were shattered, and they were shooting at this mountain.
German Chancellor Bismarck once famously said, 'Truth is only within the range of artillery', Wu Zhongyuan felt that he was the truth within the range of the cannon, every shell exploded not far from him, the whole mountain was full of smoke and dust, rocks were splashing, and the "truth" was in the thick smoke.
It must be very dangerous to run around like this, he has also heard that two shells will not fall in the same place, and it is safest to lie on his stomach from the crater, but he found that this is not the case, sometimes two shells will really fall in the same position, instead of lying on his stomach in the crater and being bombarded, it is better to run out of the range of the cannon as soon as possible.
The backpack was full of dry food, which he had been glad to have gotten before, but now he didn't think so, it was too heavy to run fast. Throw it away and be reluctant, throw it away may not be able to get it back, what to eat in the future.
Wu Zhongyuan fled north in the sound of explosions one after another, and ran a few hundred meters to the top of the mountain, and it should be safe to cross the top of the mountain.
But when he climbed over the top of the mountain, he found that there were also craters on the back of the mountain, who the said that cannons can only hit straight lines, and some cannons can also hit arcs.
The recent explosion was only a dozen meters away from him, in addition to a large amount of rubble, there was also a huge wave of air, Wu Zhongyuan was directly overturned by the wave of air, fell into a lot of meat, and after landing, he didn't think much about it, got up and continued to run.
At this time, the sound of the explosion seemed to be much quieter, but in fact, the sound was still so loud, but he was temporarily relatively deaf after being shocked.
When I was running, I felt sticky on my face, I thought it was sweat, but I reached out and wiped it only to find that it was blood, it must have been injured, but I don't have time to determine where the injury is, and it is serious to run out as soon as possible.
Wu Zhongyuan unfortunately ran into the shooting range, but he was lucky to escape in the end, disgraced and embarrassed.
When he arrived at the safe area, he was relieved, but he was not sure if the place without the crater was a safe area, and he didn't dare to stay, so he continued to walk in the northwest direction, scolding while walking, not scolding anyone, but venting his frustration in his heart and not scolding the panic.
When the sound of the artillery completely stopped, Wu Zhongyuan stopped to check his injuries, his left eyebrow was injured, and there was a big gap, which was not drawn by shrapnel, but by a stone.
The clothes were torn, the pants were rotten, and the shoes were exposed, in short, it was a mess.
He had a change of clothes and shoes in his backpack, but he didn't, and he was often scratched when he walked through the mountains, and his clothes had to be torn apart.
Sleeping at night is a problem, on the ground for fear of being attacked by wild beasts when you fall asleep, such a big deep mountain, tigers may not have, wolves definitely have.
It was cold when I jumped into a tree, and it was still very cold at night in April, and I didn't dare to make a fire for fear of exposure.
After hesitating, I chose to rush at night and sleep during the day, without delay at all, without slacking off at all, most of the time I was running, and I only used to walk where I couldn't run.
Two days later, the mountain came out, and this section of the mountain came to an end, and there were no mountains in front of it, but villages and cities.
The clothes on his body are torn, he hasn't encountered a stream for the past two days, his face is full of dust, and his hair is dirty.
But after thinking about it, it's just right, just go out like this, make sure that no one recognizes you, even if you are monitored and photographed, you are not afraid.
Just go out like this, bypass the village, and go directly to the main road, there are few outsiders in the village, and rashly appearing there will attract the attention of the villagers.
There are road signs on the main road, and when you reach the boundary of Shanxi, there are Shaanxi, Gansu, and then Qinghai to the west.
I picked up a nylon bag on the road and packed it on my back, this backpack is known, and I also got a hat, to be exact, it was stolen, the hat of the security guard in the roadside factory.
A ragged nylon bag and a big cap are the standard for mentally handicapped homeless people, and no one looks at him when he walks on the road.
If you can't speak, try not to speak, a foreign accent is easy to arouse suspicion, and besides, he really can't pretend to be mentally retarded in tone and tone.
He still has more than 20,000 yuan on him, and with this money, a ticket can fly directly to Qinghai, but where does he dare to buy a ticket now, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, he even threw away his ID card, and he can't buy a train ticket.
He also had the idea of buying a train ticket with a few people's ID cards, but it was quickly dispelled, and even the train had a security check these days, so he certainly couldn't get past it.
During the period of escape, his biggest feeling was that he must not commit crimes, there is really a net, and it is almost impossible to escape.
Airplanes and trains can't sit, you can only take a car, but long-distance buses are often stopped by checkpoints, the only option is to continue pickpocketing, most of the time it is a large truck, sometimes a small truck with a canopy also jumps up, and when it is found, it pretends to be stupid and is thrown down.
I don't dare to spend money even if I have money, and I often get slaughtered when I buy something to eat in a small shop in the middle of nowhere, not everyone has a sympathetic attitude towards the weak, and some people will bully them.
Sleeping can only choose the bridge hole and the haystack, the ATM ATM is not afraid to go, the camera there is high-definition, and he has slept in the ATM ATM before, he is worried about leaving a video record.
Good character, do good deeds wherever you go, there are many coal mines in Shanxi, and there are really black-hearted mine owners who drive out at night to catch homeless people and go back to dig coal, Wu Zhongyuan's punches and kicks not only saved himself, but also saved his "roommate" who lived in the same bridge and hole with him.
It took two days to cross Shanxi, which is already his limit speed, and it cannot be said that there is no delay for a minute or a second, at least he can get up at five o'clock and never drag it until half past five.
The west of Shanxi is Shaanxi, and there are two things that are most famous in Shaanxi, one is the Terracotta Army, and the other is the mutton steamed bun, these two things are as famous as Shandong's Lanxiang Technical School and Xia Yuhe, but although he did not commit a crime, he is on the run, so naturally he will not go to see the Terracotta Warriors, but the mutton steamed bun is edible, it is really delicious, and it may not be so delicious, because he is hungry and full now, and he feels delicious no matter what he eats.
It also took two days to cross Shaanxi, and the speed was also amazing, seven days have passed since the beginning of the escape, and there are still eight days to go.
Next is Gansu, Gansu north and south long east and west short, after coming here, you need to go north, on the national map, Gansu is already a remote area in the northwest, this place Nian Qianrao once stayed, when the fourteenth prince Yinyu served as the general Wang went to Qinghai to suppress bandits, Nian Qianrao served as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and was responsible for logistics to the old fourteen, when the supply of military food was handed over in Gansu, and then the old emperor died, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne and immediately instructed Nian Qianrao, so that he would give the old fourteen military food supplies from a supplement for a month to only seven days at a time, I am afraid of giving too much, the old fourteen will lead the troops to fight back。
There are no famous snacks in Gansu, Lanzhou ramen is one, since you came, you have to eat a bowl, it is also delicious, the noodles are delicious, the beef is more delicious, the master is a Taoist priest, and he does not eat beef, so he and Lin Qingming have not eaten beef much since they were young.
From entering Gansu to leaving Gansu, it also took two days, and there are still six days left.
Six days is already very rich, but Wu Zhongyuan still does not dare to slack off, because the area of Qinghai is very large, there are five in Shanxi and seven in Zhejiang, and the place he wants to go to is very remote, and it is impossible to pick up cars again, so he has to leave enough time to deal with emergencies.
Qinghai is the real sense of the northwest, there are still many Han people here, and then there are Tibetans, there are more than one million, there are more than 800,000 Hui people, in addition to some ethnic minorities such as Mongolians and Tu people, the place he is going to on this trip is Maduo County, this place is afraid that few people know, but when it comes to the Yushu earthquake, I know more, Maduo County is in the northeast of Yushu.
Due to the remoteness of the terrain, there are very few trucks to go there, you can't pick up the car, you can't use it, buy a motorcycle, you don't buy a new one, go to the place where you repair a motorcycle to buy the old one, it's cheap, in fact, he is not short of money, it may be that he is used to living a poor life, and he is always reluctant to waste.
Qinghai is very large, the monitoring can not be fully covered, you can change the line, find a small place to take a bath, change clothes, and ride a motorcycle on the road.
It was the evening of April 12, and there were still three full days before April 15, but Wu Zhongyuan did not feel relaxed, not because of time, but because of nervousness.
The place he was going to was the Sea of Stars in Maduo County, and as the three peaks in the distance became clearer and clearer, he became more and more nervous, the reason why he had previously said that this was a suspicious location was because the three peaks here were not frozen all year round, it may be that the climate was different from that of ancient times and modern times, and these three peaks were only covered with ice and snow in winter.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Zhongyuan came to the vicinity of the mountain peak, these three peaks are very steep, they are stone mountains, and there are no trees on them, according to Wu Chai's narration, the place where the little wizard hides is located on the shady side of the mountainside of the leftmost peak, but the expression of the left and right directions is relative, standing on the east side of the mountain, the leftmost one is the one on the south side. If you stand on the west side of the mountain, the far left is the one on the north side.
However, according to convention, the leftmost mountain mentioned by Wu Chai should still be the mountain on the guide side, which is at least ninety percent likely.
At the foot of the southernmost peak, Wu Zhongyuan began to worry, because he only knew the general direction, as for the specific location of the little wizard's hiding, he needed to wait for the sub-hour of the full moon night, and the moonlight could be accurately located.
April 15 refers to the solar calendar, the moon follows the lunar calendar, this year is 2014, this year's March 15 is the fourth day of the solar calendar, which means that you need to wait until late at night two days later to find the exact location of the little wizard's hideout.
No, the time of the day is too tight, even if it is accurately located, it still needs to be excavated, who knows how long it will take?
Moreover, if you calculate accurately, it will only take up to eighteen hours from sub-time to sunset the next day, which is too dangerous to wait, so you have to find it first.
The night in the Great Northwest is very cold, the higher you climb, the stronger the wind, and the lower the temperature, but Wu Zhongyuan's heart is warm, if it goes well, he will be able to go home soon......
.
If you really like someone, you will be brave enough to tell them, give them a choice, give them a chance, even if they are not accepted, at least they will not have regrets.
