Chapter 114: The Way Out
The command car of the high-level of the sect was surrounded by water, and the sand below was soaked into a pool of loose urine soup, and a few fiber ropes were soaked in dung. When the feces and urine were spilled, the angry people picked up the dirt and smashed the car shell.
Shi Ji had no choice but to pull Longji to hide in the car, and he didn't dare to use tough measures under the surging emotions, otherwise it would add fuel to the fire. Longi was weak and his eyes were blank, he didn't dare to look at the bridge again, how much he hoped that time could freeze, even if the fire kept burning, as long as the bridge continued.
There were more than twenty people hiding in the carriage, and six white people including Avril were also inside. They all grabbed a position away from the window hole, for fear of being hit by dirt, so that the huge space became very crowded.
Seeing that Avril Lavigne was sad and depressed, Sister Lifa patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "The students are still on the bridge, and we are all sad." ”
"They may not be fine. Xiaobao, he will have a way. He is a man who is blessed by the gods. ”
"Oh, what are you worried about? Worried that Dilly will leave us alone?"
"He won't. Avril shook her head slightly.
"That's... Are you worried about Hugo?" Chestnut Hair couldn't guess Avril's thoughts, "He must have encountered something that didn't do what he agreed." After you get out, I'll ask him to explain it to you......"
Avril smiled indifferently and said slowly, "I can guess what happened to him." Those old men in our country, only power and interests can make them stretch their necks, and they will not delay the time to write love letters to ladies and ladies in order to save people. Hugo must have done his best. ”
"I'm just grieving for these innocent people, this land must have been forsaken by the gods cursed by the devil, otherwise why would bad luck and disasters come so often? Francis and the dead Taoist priest, who is right and who is wrong......"
"What are you muttering and planning! Don't laugh too early, we can't get out, and you don't want to leave!" Ishiji said angrily.
At this time, there was a scream from the crowd outside, and the people in the car jumped out when they heard the sound, and they were stunned when they saw the people around them, looking like they had seen a ghost. I saw that the people on the cross-abyss bridge turned over on their backs, and it seemed that they had fallen down as a whole. In the distance, there were two fires hanging from the cliff face, which were the tail of the bridge that had just burned out.
The bridge broke, but none of the more than a thousand people on the bridge fell.
After a while, the survivors of the bridge and the people on the shore broke out into a tsunami-like cheer......
"Don't squeeze it, don't squeeze it! Everyone, listen to me!" Xu Fangle, Yu Man and others used their bodies as a wall to block the excited crowd.
"Can the people in the back hear clearly? Everyone still has ropes on them, take them out and knot them into long ropes! We need four big ropes twenty zhang long! Those who don't want to die are all sharp, and this bridge may fall down at any point!"
"Hey, don't squeeze it! It's not that you won't be allowed to pass, it's to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and then let everyone live together!"
"What do you mean that our lives are so valuable? Who said that we only care about our own lives? You have something wrong with your brain, right?"
People were carried away by the excitement, and those in front of them rushed to cross the bridge. Xu Fangle was choked by those who didn't know the hearts of good people and didn't listen to commands.
Hu Dili rushed over at the right time and threw down a few of the most violent ones, which was allowed to do so by Longji Zhenren and Shiji Zhenren when he went to the command car to report just now. After he made an example of the chickens and monkeys, the order on the bridge finally improved.
There is strength in numbers. In less than a quarter of an hour, four large sturdy ropes had been attached, and Hudilli was led and carried over. There were three or five people who climbed to the cliff bank along the broken rope, and there were also a few brave men on the bridge who were agile and brave and climbed under the twin trees along the strange branches, untied the old rope, took the new rope and tied it to the trunk as fast as possible.
In the back, there was a large group of people laying the bridge slabs. Fifteen zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, three zhang, one zhang...... At this time, the wooden plank placed had already touched the ground, and when the last board was covered with the ground, people were so happy that they could only hug and cry to express themselves.
"Click, click, click..."
A few strange branches wrapped around the bridge began to wither inch by inch, falling into fragments. From the branches to the roots, they gradually turned to ashes, and finally all the old shells were shed, and only a soft twig the size of a baby's arm remained.
Zhang Jiabao, who had been sitting cross-legged under the tree, tilted his head back and passed out, while his arms were still tightly clinging to the trunk.
Huang Yunqing and the others went over to take a look, only to see that his whole person had shrunk in a circle, the surface of his body had turned blue, and his skin was wrinkled like tree bark. If it weren't for the faint pulse, I would have thought he was dead.
Thousands of people crossed the bridge one after another, and hundreds of chariots remained in place, taking only the necessary things from inside. The monsters that had been following them for a few days stayed across the shore, and they didn't seem to have any intention of catching up.
Someone proposed to cut off the bridge so that the monsters would not come out and harm the world. Longji Zhenren was reluctant in the end, so everyone made a few more big ones
rope, there is a drop of more than ten zhang to hang the butt of the bridge, so that the monster can not go up. After going out, inform the government, and leave this bridge to facilitate the imperial court to send troops to destroy the demons.
The joy brought by the aftermath of the catastrophe did not last long, and this dark sky made people feel more confused, and many people did not even know which state they had reached.
Longi said to everyone with a heavy heart: "Now, you have two choices, one is to follow the people you believe in, scatter in all directions, and go to the end of the world. The second is to stay here for the night, and after dawn, there is my way out, and there is your way out. ”
People were silent for a moment, and then gradually they gathered in groups and whispered.
"Let's go together. "The men who bravely climbed the broken rope before the bridge broke, got together. They made up their minds to find a mountain with better feng shui after they went out, pull thousands of people and horses, and did not seek to be the king and hegemon, but to be happy in this life.
"If you have the guts, come with us! After you go out, make sure you eat and drink spicy food!"
At some instigation, they pulled up a team of three to five hundred people.
"It's almost meaningless. A strong man who took the lead, shirtless and shaking his sweaty tendons, pulled away a few good-looking girls from the crowd. Those girls didn't cry or scream, half pushed and half obeyed.
Seeing this scene, Shiji Zhenren was a little dissatisfied, and said to Longji: "Just let them be so presumptuous?"
"It's all you and me, let them go. Longi said with a tired look.
"Farewell, everyone!"
The first team broke away from the main army and went first. Longji is a real person in charge and gives them a lot of useful things.
On the other side, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties also pulled up a group of people. When he was young, he used to do business everywhere, and his ability to make money was very good, and his family was once rich. Many people planned to follow him to the south to do some business. A highly respected monk led all his disciples and relatives to take his leave.
After seven years of co-living in the cracks of the demon tide, these thousands of faces, not only in the neighborhood, but also in life and death brothers and sisters, now only need to give up their hands and say hello, and they can be dispersed, and Longji can't say what it feels like in his heart.
"Listen, what's that sound?" someone felt the ground tremble slightly beneath their feet, and there seemed to be a muffled thunder in the distance.
After a while, the sound grew closer and closer, but it was the rumbling of horses' hooves. The group of men who rushed out first did not go far, and the torches that followed the road in front of them were extinguished by an arrow that broke through the air. The archers were good at it, and only extinguished the fire, but did not hurt a single person.
The knights reined in and lit torches, and in the night fog made it clear to people their scale. Horizontal columns, three rows of longitudinal arrangement, the formation is not small.
The man who released the arrow put away his longbow and said proudly on his horse: "Dingbei Wangshi, guard here!"
The leader of the 'Grass Gang' stepped forward and sneered, "Brother, we are..."
The cavalrymen were arrayed with spears, as if they were about to charge, and the frightened leader hurriedly retreated. It's not good.
"Your identity is unknown, you must not go forward, violators will be punished!" the rider raised his whip and said in a loud voice, "Whoever is in charge, come out and talk to me!"
"What should have come has come after all. Longji's heart was awe-struck, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Among these people, contemptible people are in charge. Replying to this general's words, we are all the bitter people of Yingzhou, thanks to the blessings of the saint and the imperial court, and we have saved our lives to this day..."
The general waved his hand to interrupt him and pointed to the bridge across the abyss, "You built that?"
"Yes..."
"Bold, come on, take him down for me!"
