Yongxian is not a big place, the next county because of the newly developed power plant project in one fell swoop, the most poor home has several electrical appliances, Yongxian is still nested in its own one acre and three points of land to live peacefully.

At a glance, the dark mountain range winds straight to the deepest part of the mountain, and several self-built houses are connected at the bottom of the mountain. The Li family is at the end of this poverty belt.

Because of the remote terrain and the north road of Huanshan, the businessmen who pass through this area one after another every year. Sometimes the rush is too hard to go up the mountain before sunset, Yongxian County will divide a few families to accommodate passers-by, and when the time comes, just pay a little according to the head of the person.

Towards the end of the evening, a strange convoy came to Yongxian, the first of which was a black car, followed by a silver-gray van with lost paint, with one-sided glass, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

A middle-aged man got out of the car, with a flat head and a stubbled beard, and grabbed him and threw him to the ground, Li Luocheng also pulled it to peek at the window glass, and immediately screamed in fright, and quickly closed his eyes and prepared to take a look at it, when someone suddenly spoke behind him.

"Erbiao, kid, don't care. ”

The voice of the speaker was low and hoarse, but the voice was young, and even contained a little less obvious kindness.

Li Luocheng opened one eye to look, glared at the man who was carrying him and was called Er Biao, and then threw him away, "Child, be disciplined!"

"Child, let me ask you, is your house occupied today?"

The man was younger than the scary uncle just now, with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and when he stepped back, he bent down kindly, propped his knees and asked, "I'll talk to you, kid." ”

Li Luocheng rolled his eyes, wiped the sweat on his palms on his trouser legs, and pointed to the car, "Are you also in business?"

After asking these questions, Er Biao's face next to him turned cold, and he looked at the person who was bent over and half squatting.

The man smiled, "yes, we're passers-by doing business. He pointed to the clouds pressing down in the distance, "No, it's going to rain, it's too dangerous to go up the mountain now, shall we stay at your house for the night?"

Li Luocheng looked at the two of them again, thought for a while, and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you back." ”

Er Biao walked over, "Mr. Li." ”

The man raised his hand and made a gesture of stopping.

Obviously, Erbiao is older than him, and he looks stronger and fiercer, but he seems to be at his command, Li Luocheng said while leading the way: "Are you surnamed Li?"

The man chuckled softly again, his voice still hoarse and low, "It seems so." ”

Li Luocheng thought this was very strange. How can there be people in this world who don't know what their surname is, just like his surname is Li, and his sister's surname is Li, because of his father's surname.

But I quickly forgot about this before I had time to ask, because after turning a dirt path, a small brick bungalow appeared in view, and Li Luocheng trotted to knock on the door, "Open the door, open the door, I'm back!"

The two followed, and Er Biao didn't pay attention to stepping on a mess of mud under his feet, jumped away like a hot foot, and scolded: "Why is this road so bad?"

Li Luocheng turned his head, only to find that the two of them had a circle of mud on their trouser legs, Mr. Li was thin and tall, his trouser legs were empty, more than Er Biao, his body was not moving, and he didn't seem to care at all.

"Wait a minute, my parents have to come back at work at night, my sister is at home, and the door is a little slow. ”

Not long after, the wooden door creaked open from inside, and out came a black and thin little girl, with two pigtails resting behind her head, and when she saw two strangers, she immediately cowardly hid behind Li Luocheng.

"It's okay Yangyang! This is borrowed by the passerby, and will give us money when the time comes!"

When he closed the door, he saw two cars, one large and one small, parked at the intersection, and asked casually, "Don't the people in the van come down to eat and sleep?"

Er Biao looked around the room, and the only chair that could sit was sent to Mr. Li's buttocks, and he could only stand, he gasped and shouted: "Child, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, go find me a chair again!"

Li Yangyang was frightened, hiding behind Li Luocheng and couldn't pull it out, but from time to time he turned his eyes with two black grapes and secretly looked at the people sitting at the table.

Realizing that he was being peeped at, the man put down his teacup and stretched out his hand to her, "Little girl, brother hug me." ”

He called himself his brother, he must not be very old, Li Luocheng thought about it, and also shouted, "Brother, I'll go find you a chair", and then quickly slipped away.

They were the only ones left in the living room, and a little girl who didn't speak.

Er Biao wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the sky in the distance that had been completely suppressed, and fanned the wind with the corner of his clothes.

"Mr. Li, you can't delay it any longer, when the goods are not available, you can only get half of the final payment. ”

The teacup was taken down from the car, the black cup, with fresh tea bags brewed in it, curling in the tea smoke, the man's eyes fell on the thin figure in the corner, and said softly: "Is it too late—how old is this year?"

The second half of the sentence is said by Li Yangyang.

Li Yangyang didn't say a word, his eyes drooping.

"Hey, you kid, I'm talking to you!" Er Biao rolled up his sleeves.

The man raised his hand, and it was another silent gesture.

"I'm asking you today—"

"Toot-"

Along with the man's voice, there was a long series of dull and chaotic vehicle horns, like a thunderclap in the silent dusk, and the room was quiet for two seconds, and then the man and Er Biao quickly glanced at each other and ran out together.

Li Yangyang cowered in the corner of the wall and didn't know what was going on, the curtain of the compartment was lifted, Li Luocheng hugged a chair and got out, looking around, "Where are my brother and uncle?"

Li Yangyang pointed out the door.

Where the car was parked around the corner, there were three or four stout men with black short sleeves standing at the moment, and the grass blocked half of the view, and Li Luocheng stood at the door and looked at it from afar.

At this moment, the person in the driver's seat of the van also walked out, and the three of them, including Er Biao, stood around the youngest Mr. Li, and the straight and motionless person in the middle had cold eyebrows and eyes, exuding hidden anger.

I don't know what to say, the man cast his gaze, and he met Li Luo in mid-air, stayed for a while, and then looked away calmly.

After talking for a while, the two walked back on, and the rest got back into the van.

Li Luocheng said: "The chair has been found, but there is only a separate bed left in the house, and you will have to squeeze it at night." ”

Er Biao replied: "I can sleep on the floor." ”

Mr. Li didn't speak this time, the coldness between his eyebrows did not dissipate, and he raised his feet and entered the inner room without saying a word.

Li Yangyang asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Li Luocheng shook his head.

Er Biao glanced at the two of them, "I'm back in the room, I'll bring in dinner later, don't knock on the door and disturb if it's okay," Speaking of this, he raised his fist, so frightened that Li Luocheng hid back, "Be careful of being beaten." ”

Li Yangyang muttered in a low voice, "It's so fierce." ”

After all, in Yongxian County, it is common for passers-by to borrow and live, and adults are not considered novelty.

When the door was closed, Li Luocheng suddenly remembered something and called out to them: "Tomorrow, the outing will be stopped in the Yangyang School, and it will be in the nearby Qianniu Mountain, and each person will pay ten yuan." ”

"What's so rare in Qianniu Mountain, if you take your sister to go shopping another day, it's not better than a large group of people huddled together. Dad Li's face was tired, he didn't bother to say more, and emphasized again before closing the door, "I don't have this money, let's talk about this next time." ”

"But—"

The door was closed.

After standing for a while, Li Luocheng turned around and grabbed Li Yangyang's dirty little hand, "It's okay, you go with your classmates tomorrow, and Brother Qian will think of a way." ”

Ten yuan is not a small amount for a child, and after thinking about it for a long time, there is only one last way left.

"Knock-"

"Who?"

"Deliver dinner. ”

The door of the room opened, Er Biao hung his head impatiently, and looked at the same outfit as in the evening, he was still wearing the same black short beat, revealing a large thick and powerful arm, Li Luocheng sniffed, feeling that in addition to the smell of sweat on his clothes, there was a faint smell of fish.

Er Biao snatched the chopsticks in his hand and was about to close the door, when a pair of feet were immediately stuck in the crack of the door.

"Wait!"

Er Biao pulled the door and screamed at Li Luocheng, alarming the men inside. "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Li, it's okay. ”

"Brother, big brother, I haven't finished my sentence yet, I have something to say!" Li Luocheng did not give up and continued Carmen, and was squeezed to grin his teeth.

"You let him in. ”

Er Biao glared, reluctantly grabbed him by the collar and threw it in.

The light bulb in the room is dim, and the only chair in the room sits a person, looking at his phone. When he came in, he put away his phone and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"Something. Li Luocheng patted the dust on his palms and pointed to the rice in Er Biao's hand, "Dinner is to be paid separately." ”

The man was speechless, his expression was sunk in the light, and he couldn't see clearly, and after a while, he moved, turned his head to Er Biao and said, "Give it to him." How much does it cost?"

Li Luocheng felt that no matter how much he wanted, it was only enough for the registration fee of Yang Yang. In fact, dinner is provided free of charge in every household, but it happened suddenly, only this time, he stood up and said decisively: "Ten yuan." ”

took the wallet handed over by Er Biao, and the man took out a stack of money in it, even in the dim light, Li Luocheng could clearly see the red and glamorous portrait on it.

He opened his mouth.

The hand that handed the ticket to the front confiscated, and even nodded slightly, "Take it." ”

"As long as ...... Ten bucks..."

The stack in front of you is at least a few hundred, right?

The man's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was relaxed and casual, "Take it, all the expenses are in it." ”

"But that's too much..."

He had never seen so much money, Li Luocheng swallowed his saliva, hesitating to take it.

Seeing that he didn't move, the man directly refolded the stack of money, put it on the table, and pressed the teapot, as if he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue.

The next morning, Li Luocheng went to the room to collect things, the money was still pressed on the table and did not move, he hesitated around the table for a moment, gritted his teeth and took one out, thinking to himself: I didn't take the rest, so it doesn't count what I asked them for, and it's their business if they don't take it.

When he went out, Er Biao and the man had not left, the two stood under the big willow tree at the door and chatted, one stood and one squatted, and Li Luocheng was shouted by the man when he led Li Yangyang out of the door.

"Kids. He beckoned to him, "Where are you going?"

The early morning sun slid down the hillside, and the entire Yongxian County was covered in water vapor and morning light, and the wind passed through the forest and sounded.

The placket of the three was blown agitated.

"I send the sheep to school, and their class organizes an outing!"

Er Biao took his hand to build a tent and looked into the distance, the man put his eyes back on the thin and black little girl in front of him, and with the other hand, he took out his pocket and took out a red and bright tie for a while.

He tied the red scarf to Li Yangyang.

"I bought it for the children at home, and I gave it to you. ”

Li Luocheng was about to refuse, but turned his head and saw Li Yangyang's bright eyes staring at the man leaning over in front of him for a moment, and the words rolled back to his throat and fell back to his stomach.

"Send you off, and we'll go there too. ”

Li's father and Li mother went to the morning shift, if it was a mountain road, maybe when it would be there, Li Luocheng was used to this field since he was a child, and he didn't mean to be wary of people at all, not to mention that he was most familiar with this road.

Without thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

When he led Li Yangyang to the front of the van behind, a pair of big hands suddenly pressed on the handlebar, and Er Biao shouted behind him: "Come here!

The man's hand in front of him was not confiscated, Li Luocheng sighed, took his sister back and turned back, and when he opened the car door and got in, he looked back and saw that the man was looking at this side, and then got into the car.

The speed of the car is not fast, the road is bumpy, but the scenery is not bad, the red chicken horn root of the wildfire all over the mountain is like a ball of flame floating in the air, the body rubs past, the bouquet is instantly divided into two rows, one or two into the car, and rolls between the wings of the nose, the aroma is tangy, and the smoke makes people dizzy.

Li Luocheng couldn't help it after being quiet for a while, and took the initiative to open the conversation box and asked, "Where are you going?

Er Biao snorted coldly and didn't care.

Li Luocheng was not angry, and turned his head to talk to the sheep in the back row, and the two children chirped and had fun.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Yangyang suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said that he wanted to go to the toilet, Li Luocheng conveyed the words, and Er Biao gestured to the car behind him with an impatient expression, and stepped on the foot brake to stop the car.

"Hurry up, there's a lot of. ”

"Okay, well, we're around here. Li Luocheng smiled.

He took Li Yangyang's hand and walked into the bushes not far away.

The van also stopped, the door opened, the man came out of it, Er Biao lit a cigarette and handed it over, Lisuo lit the fire, and the two looked at the mountains in the distance to smoke.

"How's that little imp?"

"I'm still feverish, I don't know if I'll survive tonight. The man took a puff of milky white, tapped the cigarette ash from his fingertips, and closed his eyes with a relaxed expression. Er Biao waited for his next disposal arrangement, according to the past, this kind of thorn head that planned to escape many times had already been disposed of halfway, but this time the number of buyers was too much, and there was not one less at present.

It is a blessing in fate to be able to survive by relying on one's own immunity, and if you can't survive it, you can only dig a pit and bury it in the wilderness.

The man took out a puff of cigarette and filled in the rest of the words, "Find a place to lose it at night." ”

Er Biao thought he had heard it wrong, and was shocked, "Just release people, what if we go back to call the police, she has seen our faces!"

"It's fine. ”

"Li Sinian!"

Er Biao roared, and the entire mountain range was filled with echoes, waiting for the sound to stop.

"Calm down?" Li Sinian lifted his eyelids, half-smiled and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the valley, "If she can't survive, I fed her medicine." ”

"You didn't say it earlier. Er Biao took a long breath, but now he was facing another problem, "How to make up for the number of heads, there is still one short." Do you want to find a way to contact the brothers on the other side of the stall or wait until Myanmar?"

There was a sound of branches and leaves rustling behind him, and the two people who were originally looking at the van got down, and one of them carried one on his shoulder, which was Li Luocheng and Li Yangyang, who offered to go to the toilet for a few minutes.

"You guessed it, I'm not honest, I've been wandering in the grass behind the car. ”

Er Biao looked at Li Luocheng with a surprised expression.

The latter was much calmer, as if he had expected these two to make such a come, he leaned over slightly, with a little satisfied scrutiny, this expression was very strange, as if admiring: "He saw it, but I don't understand why he agreed to take our car again." But now it doesn't matter, clean it up and bring it back to Myanmar together. ”

Er Biao nodded, took the initiative to go up, picked up the two little ghosts, turned around and went to the van, opened the car door and threw them in.

In the empty mountains, two black dots, one black and one white, stopped and moved, passing through the boundless chicken horn roots, facing the bumpy mountain road, all the way to the outside of the mountain, mountain after mountain, and wilderness after wilderness.

There seemed to be some strange sound from the depths of the forest, and countless birds flew in fright, scattering with thin branches and dead leaves, covering a large part of the sky.

The sky sank.

"It's going to rain, isn't it?"

"But when I went out this morning, I said that the sun would come out, and the weather in this mountain is the same for an hour, and I can't believe what the king of heaven says. ”

When Li Luocheng woke up groggy, there was a small conversation in his ears. Before the effect of the medicine had passed, his whole body was floating and sinking, as if he was on a boat or in the water, and when his consciousness slowly returned, coupled with the stirring of the faint smell of gasoline into his nostrils, he instantly found that-

He was in the car.

In just a second, he opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaving violently.

Overhead was a cramped carriage pressed down, the gray roof was stained with seven-seven-eighty-eight, and there were several other people in the narrow space, because in addition to the two talking in the driver's seat, he could hear the intermittent faint breathing sound.

When he got used to the dim vision, he could see clearly—

In the same pattern as an ordinary van, the seats in the back two rows were filled with children of his age, both men and women, all tied tightly, lying sideways in the middle aisle without a place.

Li Luocheng moved slightly, and a light call came from his ears.

"Brother. ”

Li Yangyang was stuffed in a corner not far from him, staring at him with wide eyes and a frightened expression, and it seemed that he was going to cry out in the next second.

Li Luocheng shook his head with a calm face, motioning for her not to move.

Except for Li Yangyang and him, the children in the entire carriage were silenced, and Li Yangyang was still in a state of free movement, I don't know if it was the negligence of this group of people or another purpose.

The car has been bumping, and it seems that it is still on the mountain road, but according to the time he was unconscious, he has also left Yongxian, so where is it now, and how far is it from Yongxian?

With curtains in the car window, it was impossible to see out of the window at all, and Li Luocheng leaned close to his seat and listened to the conversation between the two people in front of him.

"Li Sinian admits that we will share 10% of the profits after we deliver this batch of goods, and then I will settle down in Myanmar directly, marry a beautiful wife, and wash my hands without doing it!"

"You fart, that piece of fat is so big, can you really survive without red eyes?"

"This time the base is so large, how can you be able to eat, drink and have fun for many years, let's talk about it later. ”

The two smoked cigarettes and laughed.

It turned out that the man's name was Li Sinian, and this time he was going to sell them to Myanmar. Li Luocheng thought for a while and began to look for the little girl who secretly asked him for help in the carriage.

The sound of the car honking yesterday evening was not an accident, he had gone to Grandma Wang's house next door to borrow a chair, but when passing by the grass, he was suddenly grabbed by a pair of small hands, and the little girl who was dirty and dirty with only two bright eyes shook her body and asked him if she could help.

But before he could say anything, someone came looking for him.

His eyes swept over the unfamiliar face one by one, but his heart sank slowly, and after looking back and forth three or four times to no avail, Li Luocheng leaned on his seat and breathed desperately, trying in vain to find some ethereal security from the already thin oxygen.

It's gone.

Even the mind of a ten-year-old child can keenly sniff out what the word disappear means at this moment. The girl is gone, and not just from this compartment.

This group of people is not just trying to exchange them for money, they can also kill them at any time.

Escape.

He begins to regret playing games with the little kids in the county, returning to the one who played the bad guys, and finally accepting the punishment of the righteous ones. From pushing down to kicking and beating, and then to the group beating, he, a "bad character", is bound to accept some teasing and ridicule from the "decent character" before he will give up.

But he is so unlucky, every time it is his turn to choose a role, he will be forced to put on the title of villain because he can't come up with enough pocket money.

So the moment the trouser leg was pulled, the calm blood in Li Luocheng's body suddenly boiled, and he instantly experienced the pleasure of the heroes in the game, he was needed, expected, proven, and reversed.

So, he made a bolder decision -

Use your own ability to save this group of children.

Li Yangyang is the one who piggybacked, how can he keep up after listening to his words, Li Luowei doesn't want to take her with him, but there seems to be a witness around the heroes in the game, otherwise who can prove their bravery and fearlessness in front of the group of little children in the county at that time?

But he didn't expect that the other party had noticed the abnormality, and actually dragged them in from behind.

The body suddenly shook more violently, and suddenly braked a few times.

Li Luocheng heard the man in the driver's seat scolding, "Damn, turn off the fire, this wilderness." ”

The person next door replied: "Don't move yet, I'll go to the front and ask, take care of them." ”

It seemed that he was about to turn back, and Li Luocheng quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Someone approached faintly, first for a while, and then the boy on the left began to scream, but soon the cries were replaced by fragmentary buzzing, and the vibrating body shook a few more times, leaving only an infinitely amplified snort in his ears.

"Damn the little bunny! Dare to bite, this time I will let you sleep in Burma!"

"You all be honest with me!

After a while, the people guarding the side finally moved, and the footsteps began to move away. Li Luocheng opened one eye to see. I saw that inside the crowded carriage, the curtain separating the back row was rolled up, and there was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a thin man in the front row, smoking with his face facing the front window, and there were a few syringes and medicine bottles scattered in the place where the teacup was placed on the right hand, and half of the milky white solution was still left.

The voice just now—

He rummaged through the car with his eyes, and soon found the source of the sound near the door. The boy looked at him and was asleep, lying motionless on the ground, his hands and feet curled up, in an extremely strange position, as if he had been scared before he passed out.

"Hey—sheep—"

Li Luocheng looked at Li Yangyang, who was shrinking in the corner, and when he saw that his sister finally saw him, he hurriedly made a silent mouth.

"Come here—help me untie the rope—"

As he spoke, the man jerked up from his seat, his eyes like falcons staring straight into the hazy night ahead, piercing the invisible night, and in the shadows of the trees and the cries of birds and insects all over the mountains, he quickly caught a faint light from a flashlight.

The man scolded: "What the fuck is going on?"

Both cars are repainted deck cars, and they turn off from time to time over the years. He opened the car door, leaned half of his body out of the car, and at the same time turned on the flashlight in his hand to shine at the place where the light source flashed in the distance, and shouted: "Mountain ghost! Mountain ghost! Brother Li! What happened to you there? Do you want me to help?"

Li Luocheng almost scolded, but he didn't make a sound, he was so urgent that his whole body was trembling violently, his chest was concussive to tinnitus, and he was holding his temples that had risen to the extreme, and he spoke again-

"Quick—come and help me untie the rope!"

Time passed minute by minute, and this anxiety was infinitely magnified in the narrow space, and Li Yangyang had never experienced this, she instinctively felt scared, stared at her brother in the corner with a pair of blank and helpless eyes, and then buried her head directly, shaking her body like sifting chaff.

"I'm me, I, I'm not good, I'm scared ......"

She whispered, shrinking tighter and tighter, and the knuckles of her little fingers, clenched into fists, were pressed to the point of whiteness. The car was shaking, and the man had jumped out of the car, brandishing a flashlight in an attempt to talk to him.

Li Luocheng's eyes began to darken, and the long-term dehydration and closure made his physical energy consume very quickly, and now there is a Li Yangyang who has more than enough success and more than failure.

Can't count on her, you can only think of another way, before the man comes back.

"Bang bang - bang - "

There was wilderness on all sides, and he had just been frightened for a round, and now a group of children were cowering and didn't dare to move, so when Li Luocheng heard this regular string of sounds, the whole person instantly regained his vitality and bounced up from the ground. The voice was soft and slow, but within the range of being audible at close range, it seemed as if it was deliberately attracting his attention, and since it could be heard—

His eyes turned to the other pair of eyes hidden in the darkness in the carriage.

It was a boy about his age, eight or nine years old, also tied up like a dying fish, leaning against the wall of the car and leaning back, not hitting the car with his head for a moment. Seeing that Li Luocheng saw him, the boy blew open the half-loose tape on the side of his mouth, quickly grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and then sat up straight and mouthed at Li Yangyang Nunu next to him.

"I'll go—" he said.

Li Luocheng understood what he meant and shook his head.

The boy mouthed again, "I'm close to her, it's not easy to be found, and when I untie the rope, I'll untie you." ”

Li Luocheng didn't reply.

A stream had just flowed through his anxious heart, and he fell silent in the darkness almost instantly, and then looked motionlessly at the pair of black grape-like eyes on the other side.

- What if he ran away and left them alone.

Once the thought began, it was like a seed that broke through the ground, quickly taking root and sprouting, and finally growing poisonous vines that enveloped him entirely.

- The trafficker will definitely be angry with the rest of the people, including himself, so it's better not to run away at all.

When it was time to think, the people watching with the lights in the front of the car were already angrily rushing back.

"Fuck me, it's really bad, this wilderness thing-"

The car door was clicked open, and the man leaned over to rummage in the driver's seat, looking back at the back row on the way, and scanning them one by one to confirm that there was no situation before he took out his mobile phone and began to call people to help.

Li Luocheng couldn't see with his eyes closed, and could only occasionally catch a few swear words in an unrecognizable dialect, as if he had said something unsatisfactory on the other side.

But after waiting for a while, Li Luocheng had an answer.

The man dialed the number again, and his tone was particularly respectful.

"Mr. Li, yes, I can't come now, I said that I can only come tomorrow morning, well, I know. ”

It didn't take long to answer the phone, and the other side gave a few more orders to hang up, and the man turned his head and glanced at them with some evasiveness before getting out of the car and calling again.

Li Luocheng felt that Youdao's gaze had not been taken away from him since the beginning, and sure enough, when he got out of the car and opened his eyes, those black eyes were still glued to him for a moment.

"No—" Li Luocheng said.

"I'll pass—" The boy was also a little anxious, his bright eyes were getting brighter and brighter in the dimly lit carriage, and his bound body twisted twice on the ground, and Li Luocheng struggled to recognize that it might be a kicking position, and the air seemed to be Li Luocheng, who was not cooperating with life and death.

"No—" Still shaking his head.

This time, he saw a visible loss in the boy's eyes, and just when Li Luocheng thought that this kid had finally given up seeking cooperation, Li Yangyang, who had shrunk into a ball in the corner and had not moved for so long, suddenly moved.

Li Yangyang's calf and stomach were being bumped by someone for a while, and just when the girl was so frightened that she was about to raise her head and open her mouth to scream, a smiling face suddenly appeared under her sight-

A man, a man who was tied up and still trying to wriggle around in the carriage, like some kind of fish.

Li Yangyang's expression suddenly became very weird, it was the kind of stiff smile that wanted to laugh or not, and finally it was more ugly than crying.

She looked down and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

"Fish" spoke, hummed and moved a few more times to the position of Li Yangyang, and his eyes went down to stare at the half-drooping scotch tape on his mouth.

Li Yangyang was silent for a few seconds and stretched out his hand.

Li Luocheng watched from afar, eager to go up and give this kid a kick, but he was also restrained, and he could only stare at him fiercely without alarming the other people in the carriage, accompanied by a suppressed angry voice in his throat.

It was as if the two of them couldn't see each other at all.

The boy began to give the next order again, he looked up at Li Yangyang and smiled encouragingly, turned sideways, exposed the knot behind the back scissor, and then turned back and said softly: "Don't be afraid, we are close, no one will find out." ”

Li Luocheng couldn't wait to pounce and bite this kid to death, even if he didn't do anything, he was bearing the same shock, while worrying that the man who was calling outside the car would come in at any time, and on the other hand, he had to worry about whether the rest of the people in the carriage had paid attention to the movement in the corner at this moment, and whoever howled at that time would finish playing together.

The air was stuffy, the broken hair that fell from the side of Li Yangyang's face was all stuck on the skin at the moment, and the gray short sleeves were also wet with sweat and clinging to the chest that had just begun to develop, her two pairs of dark eyes were wide and round, and it took a long time before she breathed violently as if she had finally surfaced, and at the same time, she slowly stretched out her slender hand.

"Damn! I know how to order Lao Tzu! Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"

The door was slammed open with a "clang", and the man's fierce eyes appeared in the light, and then the dazzling pillar of light illuminated the entire back row of the car.

Li Luocheng's heart sank heavily, almost trembling, and he quickly closed his eyes, and his heartbeat in his ears roared like thunder.

It's over, he thought.

The time seemed to be extremely long while waiting for the trial, and after a few seconds, the imaginary roar and anger did not appear, and the light disappeared quickly after a circle, and the man gasped and put the flashlight in his pocket and sat down.

Li Luocheng opened his eyes again, and his hanging heart was only half released.

In the corner, Li Yangyang still maintained a pretending sleeping posture and did not move, carefully curled into a ball, and the boy next to her also lay down again at some point, half of his body facing the outside, his face against the ground of the carriage pretending to be asleep.

The person raised his head and saw that Li Luocheng was looking at him, and after blinking twice, he turned his head to move Li Yangyang next to him.

"Come, let's continue. He lip synched.

Li Yangyang didn't recover from the sudden fright just now, and subconsciously shrank tighter after hearing this, but the boy didn't give up, reached out and gently tugged at the corner of her hanging skirt, and shook it again, which was a soothing action.

This trick really worked, because a few minutes later, Li Luocheng saw Li Yangyang raise her head timidly, and her expression was much better, she stretched out two small hands to untie the rope underneath, and Li Luocheng was worried several times that she was moving too slowly and alarming the smokers in the front row.

The two tossed for a moment, and suddenly the boy's elbow loosened, and the two children looked at each other, seeing a look of joy in each other's eyes.

Unraveled.

"You wait a minute, I'll do it. The boy said to Li Yangyang.

Li Luocheng suddenly became a little nervous, he swallowed his saliva stiffly, stretched his neck and looked there hard, the boy gently unloaded the rope, turned to Li Luocheng Nunu mouth and motioned to the man in front of him with his back to him, and then the whole person lay down again, squirming slowly in the carriage.

The space in the car is very small, and a slight change of position will inevitably touch each other's arms, Li Luocheng was surprised that the boys were on the way over, and the children who were accidentally hit by him did not react, only curled up numbly on the ground.

Before he could comprehend, a gray-faced face arrived in front of him, and at the same time, a pair of scarred hands reached out to him.

"Don't move," said the boy, "my name is Qi Jing, and I said I wouldn't lie." ”

Qi Jing's rope was untied quickly, and it was completed in three or two clicks, and the two of them still maintained the posture of being tied and did not dare to move, observing the surrounding environment by the way.

"Where are you from?" Qi Jing smiled and poked him in the back.

Li Luocheng turned his eyes in the carriage looking for a chance to escape, "Yongxian, what about you?"

"I'm from Jiangcheng. ”

"Haven't heard of it, what is that place?"

"Hmm...... Small town, with mountains and rivers, my family runs a breakfast shop. ”

Qi Jing chattered when Li Chengcheng found that he really didn't know this piece of mountain, there are many mountains in Yongxian County, inside and outside, and the scenery on the mountain is the same all over the world, and the difference can not be distinguished from the surrounding scenery at all, that is to say, if you run out now, it is still a question whether you can touch the way out.

"What's your name?" Qi Jing stretched out his hand to poke him in the back again, but this time he was angrily intercepted by Li Luocheng, "My name is Li Luocheng." Can you stop talking, being-"

It came to an abrupt end.

Li Luocheng pulled Qi Jing's hand in front of him. I didn't pay attention to it just now, the scar on Qi Jing's hand extended to his arm in strips, and then up, and the part hidden in his clothes was conceivably shocking.

"What's wrong with your hand?" he asked.

Qi Jing withdrew his hand, and he had a hippie smile again, "They beat, hey, you see that they don't speak, they all cried before, crying and screaming, and they beat much harder than me." ”

Li Luocheng didn't say anything, and asked, "Do you want to run?"

Qi Jing said, "Yes." When he was done, he added, "Take them?"

Li Chengcheng has the shortest time, and his physical strength is the best among them, and he is likely to be rescued when he really runs, but he has to take Li Yangyang, the girl is naturally weak in terms of physical strength, if you want the two to succeed in getting out of trouble in this situation, you need to be better than Li Yangyang's physical fitness to attract the attention of human traffickers.

There was only one adult guarded at the moment, and it was impossible for him to arrest everyone at the same time.

"Belt. Li Luocheng said.

Qi Jing nodded, "Okay." ”

The two have reached an alliance, and the next thing is to make an escape plan.

Li Luocheng motioned for him to look at the driver's seat, "Just now he used that needle to stun people, I saw it, I'll steal it, you help them untie the rope." ”

This is obviously a big risk of stealing syringes, Qi Jing hesitated, "Why don't we two go together." ”

"Two people are more at risk. Li Luocheng glanced at him, and just decided that he didn't want to say anything more, and he didn't give Qi Jing a chance, and he had already sneaked to the front row.

Li Luocheng quietly approached behind the man, and all he could see was the milky white needle on the central armrest. But before he could get there, the man in the seat suddenly choked on the smoke and began to cough all over the place.

Li Luocheng retracted with a spirit.

The man stopped coughing again, and after drinking the water, he lit another stick. Began to swallow the clouds and spew fog.

Qi Jing whispered, "If you're afraid, don't you want to change me?"

Li Luocheng glared at him, "Who is afraid, I'm not afraid!"

In order to show that he was not afraid, this time the speed of approaching forward was much faster, seeing that the syringe was only an arm's length away, the person in the seat changed positions, and the leather seat creaked, so that Li Luocheng was sweating all over, and the clothes behind him were wet and sticking to his body.

Qi Jing executed it fairly quickly, moving around the crowd like a silent ghost, first covering his mouth and telling them not to speak, and finally untying them one by one.

Li Luocheng stretched out his hand tremblingly, at this moment, even if he knew that there were still people in the carriage who were in the same camp as him, the courage to fight was slowly leaking. He was still afraid. Heroes are not as good as they seem.

The phone rang coldly in the air, and the man stretched out his waist to snuff out the cigarette.

"Hey, mountain ghost, what did Mr. Li say?"

"Let you contact a guy named Shark, and I'll send you the number later, and by the way, he also asked him to ask if the kids are making a fuss......"

Habitually, when the man answered the phone, his left hand tapped on the steering wheel, and when he heard this, he hurriedly changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, and touched the pen on the seat with his right hand, "I'll write down the number, you let Mr. Li rest assured, this group of little ghosts he-"

As soon as his eyes turned, he faced a gray hand, and the man was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to look over, look, good guy!

"Little bunny, what are you doing, you want to die!" he immediately jumped up from his seat.

The other end of the phone realized that something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Li Luocheng quickly grabbed the syringe and pinned it behind him, the man quickly rushed over to grab it, and the central armrest was instantly in a mess, the teacup cigarette case was overturned, and the whole body was shaking. The man had a lot more strength, and he grabbed Li Luocheng by one arm, and the other hand still maintained the posture of making a call.

"You take it out for me, don't you hear it!"

On the phone, the mountain ghost was still asking one after another: "What's going on!"

Teeth clenched, but the body still couldn't stop being soft and sore, because of the exertion, Li Luocheng felt that his arm was about to be pinched, mixed with the smell of tobacco, the man snorted thin breath and wiped his ear, and said to the other end of the phone, "The new rabbit cub doesn't know whether to live or die, see if I don't kill him! Hurry up, if there's nothing wrong with Mr. Li, come here, damn it!!"

The last sentence was distorted because of the pain, and only the roar that made the scalp tingle shook in the entire carriage, Li Luocheng held up the vision that had long been confused by sweat, Qi Jing crossed a bunch of fat and thin, tall and short children pounced, and a mouthful of sharp teeth were hanging on the man's thin arm, as if biting directly into the bone.

"Fuck you!"

"Li Luocheng, give me the needle!"

In the chaos, the man covered his bleeding arm and looked hideous in pain, Qi Jing's voice was high and loud, and when he came back to his senses, the syringe had already reached Qi Jing's hand, and the boy was once again not afraid of death and rushed straight into the man's upper body, and before he could spit it out in one breath, the bright needle had been quickly and ruthlessly inserted into the man's neck.

The liquid was pushed into the man's body, Li Luocheng felt that the time at that moment seemed to be infinitely stretched and extended, he stayed shriveled and watched the milky white medicine disappear from the needle, the man's throat made a "ho-ho" sound, and then "clang" slammed on the back of the chair, and a pair of eyes still remained in the state before passing out and stared at Qi Jing fiercely.

The phone dropped to the side, still desperately shouting, "Speak!"

Qi Jing walked over and picked it up and pinched it, "We have to run, his accomplices will definitely be there soon." ”

Li Luocheng's nodding movements were all blind, but there was no time for them to relax at the moment, the two quickly untied the remaining children, and a group of little ghosts began to howl louder from the beginning, and those who didn't cry sat stunned in place at a loss, until Li Luocheng shouted at them "Run!", this time the spirit possessed and scattered in all directions.

A few people with keen eyes saw Qi Jing and his heroic performance just now and didn't leave at the first time, and gathered around like a group, "Can we run with you?"

This time, he didn't wait for Li Chengcheng to answer Qi Jing before he spoke, "There are many people who can't run fast, and it's easy to be caught, you spread out and find a bush to hide, hide for a day or two and then come out to find a way, I've heard them call, they are in a hurry, and they won't waste too much time here." ”

Li Luocheng didn't express an opinion, and directly pulled Li Yangyang in the corner and pushed the car door and walked out.

The whole mountain was empty and big, and the night wind passed through the trees and then through the thinly clothed children, and they couldn't make out the direction in all directions, so Li Luocheng returned to the car again.

Everyone ran out, but Qi Jing didn't, the boy's small figure was bending down to find something in the front row, and when he turned around, he saw two flashlights and three bottles of mineral water.

He handed one of the flashlights and two bottles of water to Li Luocheng, grinning and opening his big white teeth, "I'm leaving, big hero!"

Li Luocheng is bigger than him, and he is standing in front of people at the moment, but he is even more confident than playing the villain on weekdays, and the sound of the urn overflows from his nostrils, and he asks: "Do you know how to go home?"

"Walk slowly, as long as you don't get caught by them. Qi Jing smiled, "Run, there's no time." ”

"Oh. ”

"By the way, if you have the opportunity to go to Jiangcheng in the future, you must remember to play with me, my name is Qi Jing, but even if you don't remember, it doesn't matter, I will definitely be a very famous person in the future, because I will be a policeman, and all bad people are afraid of me!"

After the boy said this, he quickly disappeared into the night, and Li Luocheng walked out of that grinning face, took the good things and took Li Yangyang's hand, and also plunged into the night.

After nightfall, the temperature in the mountains began to drop, and when it was far away from where the car stopped, Li Chengcheng dared to slow down, and the Li sheep in his hand was already so tired that he cried.

"Brother...... Where are we going?"

The eyes were all surrounded by tall trees that were black and black, and occasionally a gust of wind blew through the half-human-high grass, and the insects chirped with the birds, Li Yangyang couldn't bear the fear in his heart and cried loudly regardless of it.

"Brother, I want to go home, brother I want to go home......"

"Good sheep, we will go home, don't cry, don't cry. ”

Li Luocheng turned the light of the flashlight to the minimum, and couldn't tell the direction at the moment, the best way was to find a bush to hide in the grass for a night, and then find the way back at dawn tomorrow, there are too many ants, snakes and insects in the forest at the moment, and it is easy to accidentally slide down the hillside, and the danger is no less than that of the group of traffickers just now.

"Come, brother will take you to Anqun's place. ”

Li Luocheng led Li Yangyang to find a piece of grass that was quite tight and squatted down, and randomly picked up some dead branches and piled them around, Li Luocheng said: "Tonight will be here for the night, tomorrow morning my brother will take you back The way is not good, and now it is easy to be caught by the group of bad people just now." ”

Li Yangyang shrank under his dirty clothes, snorted and said, "It's a little cold." ”

Li Luocheng put on the coat he put on before going out to her, and carefully took the person into his arms before continuing to look around to check the post.

Li Yangyang came up sleepy, his eyelids were fighting, and his head was upside down, "Brother...... Do you think we can get out?"

"Yes, the sheep and sheep will sleep first, and my brother will come to keep vigil. ”

Li Yangyang's drowsiness could no longer support it, he tilted his head and fell asleep completely, and only Li Luocheng, who was also scared, was left to resist in the endless night.

The day dawned early in the mountains, and when he woke up the next day, the sun was already at his feet, and when he turned his head, Li Yangyang was resting on the dry grass and sleeping soundly, and he woke up the people and continued on his way.

It is said that it is a rush to walk in all directions, and this mountain is completed and I don't know it at all, so I can only rely on the sixth sense that I have been used to in the mountains since I was a child to find the way down the mountain, but this time the sixth sense is not very effective, because they seem to be still going around in circles in place after walking for most of the day.

"Brother, I'm so thirsty. Li Yangyang followed for most of the day and drank all his bottle of water, at this moment the scorching sun was in the sky, the scorching sun hit her face, and the girl's already sallow face looked even more black and shriveled, and Li Chengcheng couldn't bear it.

He handed over the water he had only drunk a few sips of, and instructed: "Save some drink, I don't know when I will find the way, there is no water in the mountains." ”

Looking at Li Yangyang's cautious appearance, he couldn't help but think of other children who ran away without any preparation, in the mountains and fields where they didn't know the road, in fact, there was no need for human traffickers, and those who could run out were probably a few.

He subconsciously clenched Li Yangyang's hand hard.

The two went around for another two hours.

This time it is not the forest that he just walked through, because there is no wild orchid blooming in front of him on the way here, this kind of flower he has seen in the mountains of Yongxian County, but it is only found in the inside of the mountain, this is not to prove that they have worked hard until now is actually still in the belly of the mountain.

Li Luocheng couldn't help but start to be deflated.

The first day passed quickly, and when night came again, they walked in the opposite direction of the wild orchid, and still found a place with lush vegetation to rest. Li Luocheng insisted that Li Yangyang sleep first and be on duty at night.

When I woke up in the morning, Li Yangyang was already squatting next to me and playing with stones, and when I saw Li Luocheng wake up, I raised my head and shouted, "Brother!"

The sun fell to the ground through the layers of leaves, spreading large and small circles of light, Li Luocheng licked his dry lips, took out a mineral water bottle and took a sip carefully.

The road on the second day was even more difficult than the first, hunger had been unceremoniously enveloped, and due to lack of sleep, he almost fell to the ground several times under the huge sun, and could only rest while walking.

Li Yangyang couldn't help but be hungry, fortunately, he had enough rest, the situation was a little better than Li Luocheng, and he also knew how bad the situation was at this time, so he sensibly held back his crying, but tears still rolled in his eyes.

After walking for another whole day, I still couldn't find my way down the mountain.

A sense of directionless despair began to shroud the hearts of the two children, it was not the first time that Li Luocheng regretted getting into the van, as early as when he fought with the falcon in the car, he had thought thousands of times, in the future, never to be a hero again, who he loved should be.

Li Yangyang didn't fall asleep that night, she leaned on the branch and asked, "Will we die, brother?"

The starry sky above her head was bright, and Li Luocheng patted her head and reassured: "I'll go out." ”

I sat all night.

On the third day, there was only one-third of the water left in the mineral water, and Li Luocheng used a small stone to make a scale mark on the bottle body, and planned the amount for the next week, but the consumption in the early stage was too much and uncontrolled, and he and Li Yangyang could basically only take one sip every day.

Hunger and thirst are not the worst enemies of people who are lost in the mountains, what can really destroy a person is the mountain road with no end in sight, and the increasingly overwhelming sense of hopelessness and helplessness that is accumulating in the heart.

It was as if a voice in his heart began to talk to him, saying, you can't get out.

On the evening of the third day, Li Yangyang began to have a fever, the whole person burned like a fireball, and the yellow wilted little face was only red, and Li Luocheng fed half of the remaining water into it, but Li Yangyang still muttered in his throat.

There was no way, Li Luocheng could only place people in the grass first, and see if he could find some water sources and edible wild fruits nearby.

He went out for an hour, but he only dared to wander around the neighborhood not too far away, and finally returned empty-handed, while being dizzy with hunger, he wondered if the fever of Li Yangyang was more serious, and he dragged his body back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As a result, when they returned to the tree, there were two people standing where Li Yangyang was lying.

Li Sinian was still wearing loose white clothes and black pants, standing there with a faint expression, Er Biao was feeding Li Yangyang something.

Li Luo instinctively felt fear, but the despair that had deepened for three days became the last straw that quickly crushed his senses, and by the time he came back to his senses, he had jumped out from behind the bushes, and with the last of his strength, he shouted, "What are you going to do to my sister!"

opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't hear it.

Li Sinian looked for a voice, and then showed a light smile as always, and said lightly: "As you can see, she has a fever." ”

"So what did you feed her!" Li Luocheng's forehead was bruised, and his eyes were black and white.

"What can you feed if you have a fever, antipyretics. Li Sinian took the handkerchief handed by Er Biao and wiped his hands clean, then leaned over and wrapped the mineral water bottle with a handkerchief and picked it up.

Li Sinian asked: "Listening to the eagle falcon, you let them go, how long have you been planning, are you afraid?"

There was no anger on the man's face, as if he was simply interested in the question, he threw the bottle, he walked towards Li Luocheng, and finally stopped in front of him and leaned over slightly.

"Kid, my brother is asking you. ”

Li Luocheng's teeth were shaking, his entire facial expression was uncontrollably stiff and twisted, and there was clearly no strength under his feet, but he was still stuck in place and motionless.

Li Sinian looked at him seriously for a while, smiled, and gave his own answer: "Why do you want to do such a thing if you are afraid, do you think they will be grateful to you if you save them?"

"No, it won't. He straightened up, his black trousers folded back again, and said in a relaxed tone: "When they can't find a way down the mountain to starve to death and die of thirst, or slowly die of illness like your sister, it will not be me who abducted them, but you who kindly let them go—"

"Do you know why?" Looking at Li Luocheng's gradually pale face, Li Sinian finally showed a satisfied smile, "Because people are insatiable and eager species, they will not take me who brings the source of pain as the object of resentment, but it is the person like you who has suffered the same situation as him and helped them, but because of various uncontrollable factors, they have not completely solved their problems, but let them fall into danger, is the object of their gritted teeth and hatred." ”

"You fart!"

"What the are you scolding!" Er Biao raised his fist.

Li Sinian raised his hand to stop it, but he still didn't care, "You lost, kid." ”

"I didn't!" anger burned in his chest, and Li Luocheng roared over and over again with all his strength, "I didn't! I didn't!

Li Sinian lowered his eyes, quietly watched the little ghost in front of him go crazy in vain, and after waiting for a while, he said calmly: "I only lack a girl, your sister stays, and I will tell you the way down the mountain." ”

Li Luocheng's whole body was rising and falling violently, and his scorching snort was thin, like a sleepy beast, "Don't do it!"

"As I thought, then the second way. Li Sinian threw a bottle full of mineral water, and the bottle rolled on the ground a few times to the feet of Li Luocheng, "Tell you the way down the mountain, this water is only enough for one person to go down the mountain alive, you and your sister still have to leave one, but if you die this time, I won't pick up the body for you." ”

Li Luocheng didn't pick it up, "How do I know if you lied to me, you are a human trafficker!"

Li Sinian smiled lightly, "But seeing a child like you is much more interesting than the abduction itself, I'm just bored, how about it, which one to choose." ”

Li Luocheng took a sip, viciously scooped up the water bottle from the ground and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and walked towards Li Yangyang.

"Oh, the second one. Li Sinian smiled and motioned to Er Biao to help the girl on his back, "Then run, the longer you drag, the faster you will die." ”

Li Yangyang had a dream, the dream is an invisible field, full of red and bright chicken horn roots, she and her brother ran desperately in the flames, she has never been so scared that she accidentally fell, her knees were hot and painful, she raised her teary eyes and cried to the back of the farther and farther away: "Brother!"

"Sheep and sheep—"

Li Luocheng stretched out his hand and slid back and forth over the eyes of the person who woke up leisurely, and it took a while for Li Yangyang Mumu's eyes to focus, his eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on Li Luocheng, who was squatting next to him.

"The fever is gone. Li Luocheng helped the person up from the ground, twisted the cap of the bottle and handed it to her mouth.

She buried her head in a sip and took a sip, and soon noticed the abnormality, and asked in a dumb voice, "Brother, why is the water full?"

"Oh, I just found the creek, filled with a bottle. ”

A pair of black eyes suddenly lit up, Li Yangyang happily grabbed the corners of his clothes and asked, "Are we going home soon?"

"Well, I'm going home. Li Luocheng nodded.

Li Yangyang didn't sit anymore, staggered up and pounced on Li Luocheng, his face burrowed into the placket of his chest, his voice was muffled, but he could hear the happy end, chirping for a while, and she began to sing again.

The song passed through the bushes, and the birds were swept away from the canopy by the alarm, leaving dead branches and leaves.

Until the evening, Li Yangyang was in an unusually excited state, and he went to bed early at night. Li Luocheng couldn't sleep, he sat on the ground and looked at the sky high and far above his head in a daze.

On the fourth day on the road, Li Luocheng walked quickly and quickly, and Li Yangyang had a fever behind him, and his spirit was just poor and he staggered, and then Li Luocheng simply changed from holding her to carrying her.

Li Sinian didn't lie, the road down the mountain was too far and too long, if he really relied on eight or nine-year-old children to walk, he couldn't finish it in four or five days, and this day was not pity, the scorching sun was poisonous and spicy.

From time to time, the sheep are thirsty, so the water is visibly reduced. Usually at night they sat together staring at the rest of the water, each licking their dry and peeling lips almost longingly, too longingly, and this longing was infinitely magnified by their youth.

Li Yangyang whispered: "Brother... Shall we take another sip?"

Li Luocheng shook his head, and refused without hesitation this time: "No, we still have four days, we have to rely on it to get out..."

When he said this, he shivered himself, and in this midsummer mountain, he inexplicably felt the coldness emanating from the man Li Sinian.

Where is he now, is he watching him struggle from afar, and finally die of thirst with Li Yangyang? Why did he do this, if he just wanted their lives to be like this. He couldn't figure it out.

On the morning of the fifth day, before dawn, Li Luocheng woke Li Yangyang to set off, because the sun had not yet come out, and the water consumption would be much less than in the daytime.

The fifth day was the hardest day in memory, because they had to adapt to the night, they went from day to night, and then they struggled through the night. Li Yangyang collapsed several times due to physical exhaustion, crying heartbreakingly, and the long-term depression and consumption made this girl who was three years younger than him face collapse, and the two broke out into the biggest conflict in history.

"Can't rest! Wait until the day is dawn!Sleep when it's bright!" he pulled the man up from the ground with a cold face, and warned impatiently.

Li Yangyang was paralyzed on the ground and did not move, his eyes were red and hot, "Brother, I want to rest, I want to sleep, can I drink some water, I'm so thirsty." ”

The word water is like opening some kind of taboo, as soon as he finished speaking, the anger, unwillingness, hatred, and hatred in Li Luocheng's heart all poured out, and he couldn't wait to smash the bottle dry, and then take the knife and die with Li Sinian.

"You can't drink it! You can't drink it! If you drink it, we'll all die here! You don't want to die, do you? I don't want to! I don't want to !!die."

He roared, roaring with all his strength, and roaring into the bottomless night that echoed his loss of control and hysteria.

When he calmed down, he lifted Li Yangyang, who didn't dare to speak on the ground, threw it on his back, and continued to walk forward without saying a word.

When the first rays of sunlight came out of the sky, Li Luocheng opened his eyes and stood in place for a long time, the quiet valley was still surrounded by a shallow mist, and the light that pierced the sky slowly rose from the bottom, illuminating the woods and grass, illuminating the blue sky, and there was an unusually strong emotion surging up and down his body, he didn't understand what he wanted to do, or do nothing.

Li Yangyang fell into a deep sleep, and he also found a dimly lit place to lie down.

In the case of dehydration, people's consciousness is not clear, and when Li Luocheng woke up from his dream and entered the dim jungle, he thought for a moment that he was still at home in Yongxian, and he pushed the door open at night to go out, and the mountains and fields of Yongxian County were blowing a soft wind.

He got up and shook Li Yangyang awake, "Get up, it's time to hurry." ”

The two of them each took a sip of water, and now there was only a quarter of the bottle left, but there were still two and a half days to go, and Li Luocheng mechanically tightened the mouth of the bottle and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and walked out of the grass.

This is the sixth night, the sky is full of stars, a large and a small figure shuttles through the mountains, spewing hot air in the air and condensing into fine droplets, and then staining their faces.

As he walked, Li Luocheng heard a "plop" behind him. Li Yangyang fell to the ground, half of his face buried in the soil, like a broken little rag doll.

The first time, Li Luocheng didn't immediately go up to help her, a few days ago when he saw such a scene, he would feel both distressed and guilty, and now, looking at the little lump smashed into the mud puddle on the ground, he only felt pitiful.

Wretched.

It's pathetic.

"Get up. He walked over and kicked twice, but Li Yangyang still didn't move. Turning the person over, he poked his forehead to check only to find that Li Yangyang had a fever again.

There is no medicine this time, where did he get the medicine.

Can't get out, can't get out, can't get out.

He roared silently in his heart, and the pain of his hard work in an instant tormented him, and Li Sinian's words echoed in his ears, calmly expounding the rules: This is only enough for a person to go down the mountain alive.

"Brother... Elder brother... Brother..."The tattered lump on the ground murmured unconsciously, Li Luocheng stiffly wiped her face, and then helped the person on her back.

The sixth night was a particularly long walk, Li Luocheng fell down seven times, and several times he could barely get up, and his strength quickly dissipated after condensing again and again.

He wanted to drink water, he wanted to jump into the ocean and drink enough, or God would have mercy on him and make a torrential rain, but there was nothing, not even half a bottle of water.

The eighth time he fell, he simply lay on the ground and did not move, and after a long time, he got up. The starry sky above his head was still bright, and Li Yangyang fell near him, and he gently sang a children's song to her, and then carefully dragged the person under a big tree, leaning against the trunk.

The moonlight didn't come here, so he could only see Li Yangyang's half small face, he squatted down and looked at it for a while, stood up, took the rest of the water and turned away without looking back.

In the next few days, Li Luocheng hurried like a walking corpse, he slept as soon as the sun came out of the mountain, and when he got off the mountain, he woke up naturally and hurried, and when he was hungry to the limit, he began to chew the leaves of the trunks, as well as the small insects crawling on the ground, and the feeling of satiety made him feel a kind of reality that he was still alive, and he did not stop moving along the right path, and did not dare to fall for a moment.

When he was on the road with all his might, he rarely thought about Li Yangyang, because all his attention was on whether he could survive tomorrow night, and how to divide the remaining water. But as soon as he began to close his eyes and rest, Li Yangyang's face jumped out to blame and condemn.

Originally, he could still have slight mood swings, but after more times, he began to become untouched, and only knew how to walk forward and walk with a blank face.

Suddenly, one day he saw clusters of red chicken horn roots begin to appear in the distance, they were originally a few clusters of clusters, and then the further he went, the red from the point to the line and then connected into a piece, he was in a large sea of fiery red chicken horn roots, looking at it from afar, like a monstrous fire igniting the wilderness, he was in the sea of fire, in the fire field.

He came out.

It was the morning of the ninth day.
