Ye Shu's idea of escaping by the waterway was good, it could save his leg strength, but he ignored one point, the water in the river was turbulent, and they couldn't control it at all after entering the water. They were able to stop in the shallows, thanks to being swept there by the current, or they would have gone down the waterfall not far away.

After climbing ashore, the two were afraid for a while, whether they could survive in this water or whether they could swim had nothing to do with it, listening to the deafening sound of the water not far away, the two of them shouted for their lives.

Although the water was thrilling, Ye Shu saved some strength, and Tan Xiao supported each other, and they added to the mountain, they knew that it was not safe here, Qin Shouzheng could catch up at any time, and they didn't dare to take the path on the mountain, so they picked a place deep in the dense forest to drill.

Ye Shu and Tan Xiao fled very embarrassed, the mountains were steep, the trees were tall and dense, and they were black, and they couldn't run fast if they wanted to. The two of them were so wet that they couldn't tell whether it was water or sweat, and their clothes were scraped and tattered by tree branches.

After wading through a small river, both of them collapsed to the ground.

"I can't run anymore, let's rest for a while. ”

"Rest for a while, that old guy wants to chase after him, and it is estimated that he will not be able to catch up here for a while. ”

Not only was Tan Xiao tired, but Ye Shu was not much better, the two of them were lying on the ground panting, and the pain in their bodies did not reduce at all. The trees by the stream here are sparse, and the moonlight shines down, so you can see something clearly. The two of them paused for a moment and looked at each other, and they both smiled, not because of the rest of their lives, but now the two of them were covered in tatters and covered in mud, like savages. The mountain wind was a little cool, Ye Shu saw Tan Xiao's body curled up slightly, shivering there, sat up, took off his coat and draped it on her.

Tan Xiao glanced at Ye Shu, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and knew that he was also cold, so he wanted to take off his clothes, but he was covered by Ye Shu as soon as he moved.

"Dress well, now is not the time for humility. ”

"Aren't you cold?" Tan Xiao asked with concern.

Ye Shu smiled slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold, this temperature is a small meaning to me, even if it's colder, I have a way." As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed his arm, intending to rub it with Tan Xiao. As a result, after rubbing twice, the heat did not come out, and the mud came out.

"It's embarrassing. Ye Shu smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Haha...... Silly. Tan Xiao was amused by Ye Shu's expression, knowing Ye Shu's kindness, he could still be happy at this time, so he didn't be polite to him anymore, pulled his clothes, and covered his body more tightly. The body is wet, and when the mountain wind blows, the cold is very uncomfortable.

Ye Shu stood up and looked around, all of them were black. Then look at the stars and the moon in the sky, distinguish the position and direction, and Tan Xiao said: "This is still the edge of this mountain, we locals call this place Wolf Ditch, it is said that there were wolves in the past, we have to go west, there are few people over there, even if we die there, it is estimated that the old guy will not be able to find it." ”

"Let's go. When Tan Xiao heard that there were wolves here, she stood up with a thrill in her heart, she didn't want to be lit by the sky lantern, and she died in the wolf's belly. "I just want to die quietly, why is it so difficult. ”

"Haha......" Ye Shu laughed when he saw Tan Xiao's panicked appearance, and then explained to her: "There were wolves in the past, but now they are long gone, I have been here since I was a child." ”

"With or without wolves, we're all leaving. Tan Xiao moved his hands and feet, now is not the time to rest, before jumping into the river, he saw Qin Shouzheng's angry appearance, and knew that he would not give up, but he didn't know when he would chase after him.

"Gollum ......" Tan Xiao suddenly had a drum in his stomach.

Ye Shu asked Tan Xiao with a smile, "Hungry?"

"Hmm. Tan Xiao's face turned red all of a sudden, the voice in her stomach was extraordinarily clean in this quiet night, she was embarrassed to look up, from noon to now, they hadn't eaten anything, and they had exhausted their physical strength all the way.

"What's so embarrassing about this, you wait, I'll go and see, there is a lot of food in the mountains. ”

Ye Shu got into the forest, and after a while, he came back with some branches.

Tan Xiao saw that there were some small and round things on the branches that Ye Shu threw on the ground, bunches after bunches, like grapes and not as big as grapes, she hadn't even seen them, Tan Xiao took those things and asked, "What is this?"

"We call this thing the Black Star here, but I don't know what it's called. Ye Shu stuffed a bunch into his mouth, chirped twice, and spit out the stem, "Eat it, it's quite sweet." ”

Tan Xiao pulled a piece from the branch and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and a stream of sweet syrup burst out, it was really delicious, and then he also learned from Ye Shu to stuff it into his mouth one by one, there was no need to pretend to be a lady at this time, not to mention that she was not.

After eating, although they were not full, they at least had something in their stomachs, and the two continued on the road, anyway, there are many wild fruits in the mountains, so they can eat some when they are hungry, fortunately, Ye Shu still knows a few kinds of fruits that can be eaten, and he has not eaten poisonous ones. In fact, even if they eat poison, they are not afraid, as long as they don't fall into Qin Shouzheng's hands, they won't be arrested and go to light the sky lantern. Exhausted, poisoned, they don't care.

The mountains are getting steeper and steeper, the forests are getting denser and denser, the black lights are blinding, and the two people are trying to move forward, one foot deep and one shallow, and some places the branches are too dense, and they have to open their own way, bumping and bumping, and making their bodies full of scaly wounds. Anyway, he just rests when he's tired, and leaves when he rests enough, no matter where he is, where he dies and buries him, anyway, the fallen leaves under his feet are thick enough.

I don't know how far I walked, it was pitch black, and I kept walking in a direction, and suddenly, Tan Xiao grabbed Ye Shu, "Did you hear any sound?"

"Didn't hear me. Ye Shu stopped and listened, except for the breathing of the two, he didn't hear any other sound.

Tan Xiao shook his head and insisted on his words, "There is a voice, when we climbed this mountain, I heard it just now, and I have been following us." And I could feel that something was not far from us, watching us from the dark. ”

Ye Shu believed that Tan Xiao was not alarmist, women's senses were sharper than men's, "Could it be that old guy catching up?" Ye Shu felt unlikely, he didn't delay too much time all the way, this deep mountain and old forest, Qin Shouzheng couldn't chase so fast.

"It's not the sound of people walking. Tan Xiao said again.

"Isn't it the sound of people walking?" Ye Shu wondered, could it be that this barren mountain and wilderness has encountered some foraging beasts? This is very likely, now it is not until dawn, this location is at least dozens of miles away from the place where it came ashore, no one will come here for no reason, even if it is a ghost, it is far from here.

"Yes, it's the hissing movement. ”

"Hissing sound?snake?" Ye Shu suddenly thought of that kind of thing, in this mountain, there are still many snakes, but there are not many species of snakes in the mountains in the northeast, most of them are non-venomous, not too afraid.

As soon as Ye Shu reminded, Tan Xiao finally got on the number, and shouted in a low voice: "It seems that it is really a snake." "That's what she's afraid of.

Ye Shu patted Tan Xiao, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, snakes rarely attack people, it must be that we have entered other people's realms, as long as we don't provoke it, it's fine." ”

"Really?" Tan Xiaocai didn't believe that the snake was an animal that "people don't offend me, I don't offend people".

"Really, don't be afraid. ”

Ye Shu turned the branch used to open the way, and knocked on the ground as he walked, intending to startle the snake. Not to mention, this trick is really useful, when they reached the top of the mountain, Tan Xiao never said that he heard that kind of "hissing" sound again, and now that the sky is getting brighter and they can see things, the two of them are more down-to-earth.

"Oops!" Tan laughed in exclaim, fell to the ground, and rolled down the hillside for a long time.

Ye Shu thought that Tan Xiao fell because he stepped on the air, so he hurriedly ran over to help Tan Xiao up, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tan Xiao rubbed his body, hugged Ye Shu's arm, and said tremblingly: "I, I seem to have stepped on something, soft." ”

"Where?"

"There. ”

Tan Xiao pointed to the slope, looked up, and screamed in fright. Ye Shu turned his head to look, and his heart was also excited, only to see a white snake on the hillside, his body was taller than himself, and his body was thicker than his arm, almost catching up with Tan Xiao's waist, his head was the size of a basketball, and he was spitting snake letter looking at himself and Tan Xiao at this time. You don't have to think about it to know that Tan Xiao stepped on this "uncle" just now. Is this the "White Lady" or the "White Master"? I haven't heard that there are such big snakes in the mountains of Northeast China, doesn't it mean that pythons are all in the southern tropics?

"Run. "It doesn't matter what it comes from, it looks like it's brewing emotions, and if it is delayed, it will become the breakfast it delivers to the door, whether it can outrun the snake, but if it can't run, it can't sit still, Ye Shu pulled Tan Xiao and ran down the hillside.

The white snake didn't seem to expect the two "things" in front of him to run, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then remembered to chase it.

"Hiss ......"

Hearing the sound behind him getting louder and closer, Ye Shu turned his head to take a look, and almost fell to the ground in fright, the white snake on the hillside spread out, at least seven or eight meters long, and the movement speed was not slow at all, sliding on the grass, like soaring clouds and fog. Good guy, Ye Shu pulled Tan Xiao and hurriedly accelerated, using all the strength to eat.

Desperate to run away, the downhill is fine, and he ran down the mountain in one breath, but then ran to the opposite mountain, he lost his strength, just ran halfway up the mountain, Tan Xiao couldn't run, he was already afraid all night, how could he still have so much strength, at this time his legs were like being filled with lead, seeing that the white snake had arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Tan Xiao simply sat on the ground.

"You run, I won't run, I guess it's eaten and I'll be full." ”

"What do you say, didn't they all say that they were going to run together and not separate again. Ye Shu went to Tan Xiao hard, but Tan Xiao didn't say anything, and beat Ye Shu's hand hard.

"Let go, I'm not going to run, anyway, we're going to die sooner or later, as long as I don't get caught by that old guy to light the sky lantern, I'm willing to die in the belly of the snake." ”

Ye Shu pulled Tan and smiled a few times, but she didn't move, knowing that she was now disheartened and willing to die, and she didn't pull her anymore, and blocked her directly, "Since you can't go back, you don't run, I won't run anymore, it's a big deal to die together, I see that this big snake is not small, and its appetite should not be bad, and it can eat two at once." ”

"You ......" Tan Xiao looked at Ye Shu in front of him who was willing to accompany him to death, and suddenly cried.

Ye Shu wiped it with his dirty hands, but she wiped her face with mud, "What are you crying about? ”

"Snake dung?" Looking at the white snake that had begun to climb up the slope, Tan Xiao felt sick in his heart.

"You don't want to be snake dung? Ye Shu smiled, turned around, and stared directly at the white snake. Just when they were still more than ten meters away in the White Snake, Ye Shu rushed forward violently.

"You're lying to me again. ”

Seeing Ye Shu's plan, Tan Xiao cried loudly, but Ye Shu didn't even look back, just responded, "You are flowers, how can I let you make snake dung." Then he resolutely rushed to the serpent.
