"I can't run, I really can't run. ”

Jiang Feng had just entered the fog when he heard a strange and hoarse male voice panting and whispering. The adjective whispering may be a little strange, but Jiang Feng felt that this old brother's tone and state of saying this sentence with his life were indeed shouting, but the voice was really pitiful.

It can be seen that this person is very close to him, and he is indeed exhausted.

In addition to this sentence, he also heard the sound of clothes rubbing against leaves, grass, and a sound similar to the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, probably this guy just sat on the ground.

"Run, if you don't want to die, keep running inside. ”

The fog lifted.

It's the woods.

The woods were very dense, surrounded by trees, tall and short, and even shorter, with weeds and shrubs, blocking almost every crevice where sunlight could penetrate, so that the light in the woods was very dim.

Jiang Feng was standing behind Xia Muqi, Xia Muqi was still young at this time, but the whole person looked very embarrassed, even more embarrassed than the first time Jiang Feng saw him covered in blood in his memory.

Although Jiang Feng saw Xia Muqi for the first time in his memory, although he was covered in blood, the blood on his body was not his own, Xia Muqi seemed to be the kind of person who robbed others, so he was not embarrassed. The current Xia Muran is not covered in blood-stained clothes, and is still wearing tattered thick cotton clothes, but the feeling is completely different.

It looks like he's being hunted.

There were a lot of cuts on the cotton clothes, the small ones could obviously be seen to be cut by tree branches, and some of them were very sharp like knives, some seemed to be hot, and some looked like they were burned, Jiang Feng couldn't figure out what Xia Muqi had to do before to make his cotton clothes have such a wonderful encounter.

Xia Muqi also had frostbite, lacerations and scratches on her ankles and wrists, and her calves seemed to be injured and blood was oozing out. Although he was wearing cotton clothes, it didn't fit well, and he was much smaller.

There were only two people next to Jiang Feng, one was Xia Muqi, and the other was definitely Chen Shi, the owner of memory.

Chen Shi lay on the ground with an exhausted face, still carrying a tattered small cloth bag in his arms, looking extremely miserable if I really couldn't walk and was going to die of exhaustion if I walked again. The cotton clothes on his body, which were obviously one size smaller, were sparsely scratched, and the hard cotton that he didn't know if it could still have a warm effect was exposed from it, and there were several wounds on his face that would be broken if not treated in time.

Jiang Feng looked around and made sure that there was no one, it was just a forest, and there were not even small animals, but these two people were like fleeing for their lives, as if the king of Hades who was one step behind was about to catch up and ask for their lives.

"No one has been chasing after us for a long time, and there are so many people who have escaped, they will not chase us back. Chen Shi, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up and pointed to the empty woods behind him in order to prove the truth of what he said, "You don't even see a figure, why are we in such a hurry to run?"

"It's going to be dark for three hours at most, and there's everything in the woods, wolves, foxes, tigers, maybe bears, and you won't be able to see anything when it's dark. Even if you climb a tree, you may be eaten by those animals, and if you don't run out of the forest before dark, you will die. Xia Muqi said expressionlessly, "We killed the person surnamed Qian, if we go back, we will definitely be shot, if you want to sit here and wait for death or go back to find death, please take care of yourself, I will go first." ”

Chen Shi was so frightened by Xia Muqi's words that he stood up directly, even if his legs were weak, he had to struggle to move forward.

"Let's slow down, walk slowly, okay? There are still three hours before it gets dark, and even if it's dark, as long as it's not so dark, we can still see a little clearly, but if it doesn't work, let's light a fire and climb higher." I used to hear from the people of our village that if you can't get out of the woods at night, you should find a high tree and climb it, and if you climb high, the animals will not pick you down. Chen Shi tried in vain to discuss with Xia Muqi.

Xia Muqi didn't speak, obviously didn't want to waste more words and physical strength, and walked straight forward, obviously agreeing if he wasn't fast.

Xia Muqi walked in front, and Chen Shi followed behind.

It's all walking, and the movements and states of the two are completely different. Xia Muqi is only a little more than 1.7 meters, which is not tall, but compared with Chen Shi, who looks only 1.6 meters tall, he is particularly tall.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the road in this kind of woods is even more difficult to walk, there are not only weeds, dirt, stone piles, but also pits on the ground, which are very uneven, and if you take a wrong step, you may break your foot or fall and lose half of your front teeth. Both of them wore old cloth shoes, the kind with holes in the bottom, and if they wore them, they were the same as if they were not worn, and at most they could protect the soles of their feet from being cut by stones.

Under such difficult conditions, Xia Muqi walked like walking on the ground, and Chen Shi behind him was normal, stumbling because of his vain steps, and he was very cautious.

Jiang Feng has been following the two of them like this, probably because the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear, Jiang Feng feels that the two of them seem to be a little lost.

The forest was so dimly lit that you could barely see the sky when you looked up, and it was full of trees and weeds, some of which could grow up to half a man's height, making it difficult to make out the direction. The variety of weeds is also very fierce, sharp, cutting people's legs, if it weren't for the winter both of them wearing cotton clothes and cotton pants, I am afraid that the legs would have been cut to blood.

It is precisely because I wear a lot in winter that it is difficult to walk slowly.

Sure enough, Chen Shi and Xia Muqi got lost.

Xia Muqi was the first to realize that the two of them might be lost, so she stopped and looked around, and then looked up at the sky, obviously trying to find the direction but to no avail.

Chen Shi had long been tired and couldn't tell the up, down, left, right, southeast, northwest, and northwest, seeing Xia Muqi suddenly stop, Chen Shi only felt that the tight string in his head suddenly broke, and the whole person sat on the ground at once, regardless of the fact that there was a sharp big stone under his buttocks.

Xia Muqi glanced down at Chen Shi, who looked like a wasted man, and then stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look ahead, as if he wanted to see what the terrain was like in front of him.

"Get up, go a little further, rest in the flat place in front, you go and collect some firewood and I'll go find water." Xia Muqi said.

"Oh. Chen Shi had completely lost the ability to think independently, and stood up numbly and took two steps forward before he realized his reaction, "Rest?"

Chen Shi glanced up at the sky and felt that the sky had begun to darken a little: "Isn't it about to get dark? Why rest, aren't we going to walk out of the forest today?"

Xia Muqi had already begun to walk forward, telling Chen Shi the tragic news in a tone of saying what to eat tonight: "We can't get out, we are lost." ”

"Oh, we're obsessed ......"

"We're lost?!" Chen Shi's face finally appeared with such a rich expression again, frightened with despair, desperate with today I am dead, and I am dead and revealed that I actually don't want to die so much.

Xia Muqi had already walked forward at least eight meters, and Chen Shi hurriedly caught up, this was probably the fastest time Jiang Feng had seen Chen Shi run since he entered his memory.

"How can we get lost? Aren't we walking around the edge of the forest? We're not going to go inside, are we? We don't have anything, we don't have a gun, we don't have a knife, we haven't eaten or even water, and the two of us are definitely going to die this time. I knew that it was better to take that path, at least I wouldn't starve to death of thirst, and it was better to be captured and shot by them than to starve to death or be eaten by wolves!"

Xia Muqi frowned, obviously being quarreled with by Chen Shi.

"Give me the kettle. Xia Muqi stretched out his hand.

"Oh. Chen Shi obediently opened the cloth bag and handed the kettle inside to Xia Muqi.

Jiang Feng noticed that in addition to the kettle, Chen Shi's cloth bag also contained a knife wrapped in thick cloth, two strings of beads, a little money, and two boxes of matches.

"See the flat ground in front of you, go gather firewood, and light a fire, and we'll rest here tonight without climbing the tree. Xia Muqi pointed to the ground in front of him, and said that the flat land was actually a small area without trees, and there were grass and stones on the ground, which was not flat at all.

"What if you don't climb the tree and be taken away by a wolf at night?" Chen Shi didn't know why he was very afraid of being taken away by a wolf, "This wolf eats people, but it will be disemboweled, and when the intestines flow to the ground, he won't be able to die well." ”

"There shouldn't be any wolves, I just noticed that we did go wrong and went into the woods, but not very deeply. Not to mention wolves along the way, there are not even rabbits, and even if there are, as long as the wolves are not on fire, those animals will not dare to approach. If you climb up a tree and sleep, and you don't sleep well at night, you will fall down and put your head on the ground, and you will kill yourself without waiting for the wolf to come. Xia Muqi said.

"Then what do you do at night? You can't stare at the fire and not sleep. ”

"Sleeping in turns, sleeping alone and guarding alone, and what are you afraid of with a knife. Even killed people, are you afraid that a few beasts will not succeed?" Xia Muqi was in a hurry to find a water source, and didn't want to talk nonsense to Chen Shi to find a water source with a kettle, so Chen Shi stayed here to collect firewood.

After Xia Muqi left, Jiang Feng thought that Chen Shi would be scared with such a timid performance just now, but no, Chen Shi very calmly began to pick up the wood, carrying the package, and skillfully set up a bonfire to light the firewood. After getting everything done, I ran to the surrounding area to explore to see if I could pick some wild fruits to eat, but in the end there was no result, so I had to go back to the place and go to Xia Muqi and find water to come back.

Jiang Feng reacted at this time, Chen Shi was not timid, on the contrary, he was very bold. In fact, it can be seen from the conversation between Xia Muqi and him just now that he and Xia Muqi fled into the forest in such an embarrassment and did not dare to turn back, nine times out of ten they became deserters, and the way the two of them were deserters was relatively rebellious, they ran out as deserters after slaughtering the little boss above.

How could such a person who went to the battlefield and became a deserter during the war years be cowardly, and the timid died as early as the first time he went to war.

Chen Shi was simply afraid of death.
