Chapter 4: The Only Way to Escape
The mountain is not high or big, and the manpower spent on the siege does not need much, only a hundred people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of the lost chase, the group of black-clothed masked men who chased and killed the boy had no choice but to temporarily recruit the nearest manpower and come up with this strategy of besieging the mountains and forests, only trying to force the boy out of the mountain in the shortest possible time.
The mountain was surrounded, and the two children had no way to escape but to take refuge in the mountain. Fortunately, Liu Shuangli had some dry food on him, and in the first two days, they were not starved.
Because there will be black-clothed masked people searching the mountain on the mountain at any time, Liu Shuangli did not dare to take the boy down the tree easily, so he could only exert his light skills with all his might, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the besieged people, jumping from tree to tree to dodge forward.
Fortunately, when she was in Yuntianmen, her favorite thing was to jump and play on the tree, and this light skill of swallowing water was the most solid and best among the various martial arts skills she learned in the master's school. Although you still have to hold a half-grown boy when you jump, you must know that people can give full play to their maximum potential when they work hard.
Therefore, in the first two days, although there were more and more black-clothed people searching the mountain, the two children were unharmed.
On the third day, Liu Shuangli had almost eaten the dry food he had brought with him. Seeing that if they didn't find a way out of this mountain, not to mention being caught by these black-clothed masked people, they could starve to death just by starving.
In the past three days, Liu Shuangli has also been secretly checking the situation on this mountain while avoiding the search of the man in black. After a closer look, she found that this not tall mountain was connected to an official road on one side and two other mountains on both sides, and on all three sides, there were nearly 100 black-clothed people guarding the main road of the mountain pass, and there was no gap for them to escape.
Therefore, if she and this terrible imp want to escape from this siege, there is only one unguarded west left.
But on the west side, although there is no man in black guarding it, there is a great river that flows endlessly in front of the mountain. And the river is very wide, and the river is flowing very fast, and even if there are boats and boats to help you, it is extremely difficult to cross, let alone swim through it with your bare hands?
But if they don't go here, if they don't swim across the river, where can they escape? After a period of power, compared with the sinister nature of the river, people are more terrifying. Therefore, after seeing the situation of the river clearly, although he knew that it was dangerous to swim over, Liu Shuangli still made up his mind and took the risk of swimming the river from the west.
Although the river to the west is not guarded by the men in black, it does not mean that they will not search for it at any time. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Liu Shuangli chose to cross the river after dark.
By the fourth day, Liu Shuangli had emptied all the food he could eat, and the two children were so hungry that they plucked the greener leaves from the tree and filled them in their stomachs. But as soon as I took my mouth, I was choked by the bitterness of the leaves and wanted to vomit, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Hungry until night, the two children endured the discomfort, carefully avoided the black-clothed men patrolling the mountains all the way, and sneaked to the river to the west.
At this time, the moonlight is cold, the river is spacious, the river is turbulent, it is the autumn season, the river is running in the cold wind, making a loud noise.
"Do you really want to swim through here?" the boy tugged at his clothes, his little body shaking uncontrollably.
"There's no way out. Liu Shuangli grunted.
"The river is cold. The boy reached out and touched the river's waterway.
"Do you know how to swim?" asked Liu Shuangli.
"Yes!"
"Is your wound healed?" asked Liu Shuangli again.
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"That's all right, let's swim over together. Liu Shuangli said with a smiling face.
"At this time, the river is so fast, even if it is not washed away, it will freeze to death. The boy said, shrinking his head.
"No, you see that the river is not very wide, just endure it and swim over!"
The boy reached out again and touched the water, then shrank back again: "No, the water is really cold. ”
"It's okay, you can't freeze to death. Liu Shuangli snorted.
The boy still frowned and shrunk his head.
Under Liu Shuangli's persuasion, the boy still shrank and didn't dare to go into the water.
In the end, Liu Shuangli stomped his foot angrily and shouted: "Little ghost, you are enough, we have no other way to go, now you have to swim if you don't swim, do you hear?"
"You're going to die in the river. The boy said deflated.
"That's better than getting caught and killed by those people. ”
"In the end, it's not all about death. The boy muttered.
"You-" Liu Shuangli stomped his feet and shouted, "How do you know you're going to die if you haven't tried it yet?"
The boy hung his head, and it took a long time before he said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "I'm afraid!"
Liu Shuangli was stunned, grabbed the boy's hand, pulled him and said, "No matter how afraid you are, you have to swim over, otherwise you will definitely die here." ”
Liu Shuangli could feel the boy's hand shaking, but she couldn't allow the boy to hesitate anymore and pulled the boy over. Then put the package on your head to prevent the river water from getting wet into the bag. Then he carefully dragged the boy step by step into the river, slowly letting the river flood their bodies.
As soon as the icy river soaked the two of them, they shivered.
"Endure it and swim over. Although Liu Shuangli's hand couldn't stop shaking, he still grabbed the boy desperately and tried to support his body and said.
"It's cold!" said the boy, his teeth chattering.
"It's not cold, it's not cold. Liu Shuangli forcibly endured the trembling voice, and said in the most pleasant tone as much as possible: "Look at the other side, is that bright and bright fire? Ha, it must be fire or fire, look, isn't it very warm." ”
"Where, I can't see?" said the boy, struggling.
"There, you see, it's just across the river, and you can see it when you swim over. ”
"I didn't see it, how did you see it?"
"I'm taller than you, and of course I'm farther than you. Liu Shuangli smiled hard.
"You're a liar. ”
"Why should I lie to you?"
"Lie to me and be happy. ”
"Ha, isn't it good to be happy?"
"But I'm not happy. The boy's voice trembled even more, and his teeth chattered as if they were fighting.
"Then I want to be happy. ”
"I can't think of it. ”
The boy couldn't help but tremble and began to sink a little, Liu Shuangli hurriedly dragged him up and said, "Hey, little ghost, you can't die here." If you die now, won't I have suffered in vain these two days to save you? Get up, do you hear?"
The boy was pulled by her, and his whole body involuntarily flicked, and he swam forward vigorously driven by the instinct of survival.
"Why did you save me?" the boy asked tremblingly.
"I don't know. ”
"I didn't know you saved me. ”
"It's all saved, who wants to think so much. ”
"But we didn't know each other, and you saved me like that. ”
"Yes, I don't know, I still don't know what your name is, why were you hunted down by these people? And let me ask you little ghost, you are so beautifully dressed, which big family is the child?" Liu Shuangli asked all the questions in the past two days at once.
