Chapter 1: Breaking the Boat

Next Chapter

It's autumn, and it's an endless stretch of reeds. The white reed flowers are flying with the wind, and the willow-like reed pipes are like the Yiren on the water side, swaying in the autumn wind. At this time, hundreds of birds are sleeping soundly, and occasionally a few lonely geese are whistling past, adding a bit of loneliness to the desolation of this autumn day.

Quiet, the air condensed with a bit of a murderous smell. With a "click", a yellow-green mottled reed pipe broke in response. Wow, a touch of lake green suddenly appeared in the endless reeds, and he was tinkering with the reed pipes.

"Zhuang Luhui, you can't escape, it's better to go back with us obediently, explain it clearly, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." I don't know how many times this phrase has been repeated in the ears of Green Hui, but this time it aggravates the smell of impatience.

Just as he wanted to filter it out, the voice in the distance came up again: "The time, the place, the people, we have occupied everything, and in front of you is a bottomless ditch, and we have surrounded this place, you are afraid that it will be difficult to fly." ”

"Hmph, the sound of killing a pig, the decibel is higher than using a megaphone, aren't you tired, to put it bluntly, I don't want to determine my location, and then, of course there is no then!" The girl scoffed, and at the same time was a little glad that there was this natural reed as a barrier, at least for a while, those people couldn't do anything to her.

But when he heard the man's words, his heart began to be troubled. Not far from her feet was indeed a deep ditch, around which dense reeds grew, and at this time she was standing on the small land of stones that was the only thing by the river.

Recalling this qiē, the word "dog blood" kept circling in Luhui's head, lingering. Isn't she just a little frustrated person in the world, secretly liking someone, secretly confessing, and then secretly being rejected, a qiē seems to be directed and acted by herself, others have not participated at all, start by yourself, end by yourself.

However, no matter how frustrated she was, she never thought about losing her life! At least, in her opinion, the love that can lose her life can only be the love of two lovers.

However, why did God leave her in this ghost place for no reason, possess this body now, and stand in this current position as soon as she wakes up.

I wanted to calm down and sort out the ins and outs of things, and by the way, I thought about how to go back. Who knew that the ones outside were constantly reminding her of her current predicament.

It's a bloody plot again, she is being chased by a group of bullies who don't know if it's an enemy or a natural one, and she's trapped in a reed swing with little life to speak of, and she doesn't even know how she got through the reeds into this ditch.

Green Hui, Green Hui, this name is only one word different from the name of her previous life.

What is certain is that those people did not know her exact location, which can be heard in their tentative tone again and again. She didn't even know where she went, what dynasty she had, but she could roughly judge from the words and titles of those people that it was ancient.

As for why the men didn't just rush in and grab her, she guessed it was probably because they weren't sure what the reeds were underneath.

Some of the reeds grow in the tidal flats, and some grow in the swamps, and the dense reeds cover the places where they grow so tightly that it is difficult to judge at all.

The swamp is a bottomless pit, and with the abundance of nutrients in such a wetland, there must be many living creatures, including some poisonous snakes and scorpions. They tried to force her to show up again and again, perhaps just to determine the direction, and then make a thousand arrows through the heart.

I shudder when I think about it, what kind of deep hatred can make such a group of people do this to a young girl.

Sure enough, as his thoughts flew, he remembered the voices of those people about ten meters away from the periphery of the reeds. "Stinky girl, the last chance, if you don't show up again, you will bear the consequences!"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who was a little fat, with a face full of meat, thief eyebrows, a short figure straddled the back of a tall horse and a little uncoordinated, with a hideous face, and he looked like he was about to take the lead in grabbing the battle exploits.

"My lord, look at that girl is not ready to show up, why don't we come to burn the reeds, so that she has nothing to hide, or burn a hundred to death, or immediately expose it in front of us and become an arrow target, everyone is a little impatient." After a while, the middle-aged man saw that there was no movement on the reed side, and said cruel words again. After speaking, he looked like a leader in the charge.

Next to him was a tall horse, and the one sitting right away was what he called an adult.

This person is decent-looking, with a "righteous" face full of Chinese characters, and he is also in his thirties, tall and thin. At first glance, no one would associate him with a great traitor. However, his eyebrows betrayed him, and there was something in his sinister eyes.

"Never!" The man waved his hand, his slightly narrowed eyes bursting with a bloodthirsty light. "It's just autumn, and it's the time when the reeds are at their most vigorous, and although a small part of it is starting to turn yellow, most of it is still green and wet, and it is difficult to burn." After saying that, it seemed to fall into deep thought.

"The adults are really wise, and the villains are beyond their reach. It was reckless. But are we just going to have to wait? ”

Leaders like this, saying a sentence several times, leaving a period of time in the middle for their subordinates to do their best to pat on the back.

"Of course not, it's not impossible to trap her, it's just to avoid long nights and dreams, or do your best!" The ruthlessness is not explicit, but it makes people tremble from the inside out. As he spoke, the adult stroked the hair on the horse's back, and looked as if the girl opposite had already become his sword.

He didn't turn his head, and directly ordered the sycophant just now: "Yuefu, you order to go down, let everyone free up the spears in their hands, line them up, and try to press down the tall reed pipes." ”

There were probably dozens of people here, neatly dressed, and they were supposed to be a team of well-trained soldiers. Each man had spears in his hand, and some of them had bows and arrows, so that a line of reeds could be overwhelming, and if not all of them could be pressed down, they could be pressed into a gap so that everyone could go in and hunt for prey.

The overwhelmed reeds also increased the area of contact with the marshland, making it easier for them to cross through the silt. Ginger, sure enough, is still old and spicy.

This person is Cai Ye, the head of the Chongye Dynasty. Guozijian was a non-governmental organization unique to the Chongye Dynasty, specializing in overseeing academic education and carrying out the administration of discipline.

As soon as the order was given, everyone began to act. The spears were held in everyone's hands and lined up end to end like solitaire. After Cai Ye's order, the soldiers marched in unison with their spears in hand towards the reeds that were almost two adults tall. "Click, click", and a small piece of reed pipe in the outermost part was overwhelmed one after another.

At this moment, some of the sleeping birds were also awakened by this huge action, fluttering their wings and rushing out of the reeds, and some of them made a dull and mournful cry, as if to accuse the large crowd of people of disturbing their dreams.

Here, Green Hui is still busy breaking a few reed pipes. The sudden, loud noise nearly shattered her sanity. I didn't expect them to move so quickly, it seems that they are ready to cut through the chaos and send her on the road.

The smell of death came to his face, and even the air seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood.

Midori's mind went blank and her nerves tensed. In fact, she already knew that the so-called persuasion of those people was fake, in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots faster. Because since then, they have not revealed that they are going to let her go, or what leverage she has to keep her alive, and what information they really want from her will definitely be a clear showdown.

So from the very beginning, she only thought about how to escape instead of surrendering. The reeds here have been surrounded by them, and it is even more difficult to find a breakthrough than to climb to the sky.

Lu Hui thought dejectedly that he was going back with a soy sauce on the first day he came to this world, what a wreck, or did he die in the hands of a group of ancients whose civilization had been backward for an unknown number of years.

Frustration, humiliation, horror, unwillingness, all kinds of complicated feelings are intertwined.

Somehow, at this time, a lot of plots from the anti-Japanese war dramas I had watched suddenly flashed in my mind. Many times the revolutionary fighters were also forced into the reeds, but they always broke into pieces and disappeared under the noses of the Japanese army out of thin air.

Perhaps, the road is not so desperate.

However, in addition to the reeds, this is the ditch. River ditch, river ditch, by the way, maybe this is the only way out, where there is a river, there will be a source.

But as soon as she entered the river, they would surely chase after her, and fence the ditch and shoot her into a sieve with arrows.

What should I do, can I only gamble on it?

Both horizontally and vertically are dead, at least there is still a glimmer of life in this way. Green Hui turned his heart sideways and decided to put himself to death and then live.

Sometimes, when life comes to an end, it is time to die in splendor and be reborn in ashes.

So, just now, the green club began to fold the reed tube and used it to breathe underwater. In order to sink deeper into the water, increase the resistance of the water to the bow and arrows, and try to avoid the overwhelming rain of arrows, she was ready to connect the two reed pipes, because the longest reed pipe is only two or three meters, and some have some knots in the middle, and only a few can be spliced together.

There was a muffled "bang", and Lu Hui tested the depth of the water with a stone. Listening to that voice, judging from the experience of playing by the river when she was a child, this river is really bottomless. It's okay to hide a little deeper.

The sound of the reed pipes being overwhelmed over there was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that they were not far from her. Green Hui knew very well that they would not and did not have to overwhelm all the reed pipes, as long as they could judge which direction she was, they would immediately release arrows, which would go straight to her heart, and then they would have no choice but to return to the sky.

In fact, Green Hui never figured out what she had done wrong, so they had to get rid of her as soon as possible. Those people couldn't say it clearly, because they just happened to run into this thing, and it became so weird.

An unexplained competition, just to save his life.

But one thing is certain, these people will be the nightmare of Greenway's life. Even in midnight dreams, she would see them coming to her like a hell rakshasa for her life.

Lu Hui hurriedly tore off a few small strips of cloth from his body with the silver hairpin on his head, and quickly connected two or three reed pipes, because the reed pipes were of different thicknesses, so you could stuff the thin ones into the thick ones and then tie them tightly with cloth strips. It's a bit crude, but that's the way it can be now.

Looking back, I could already see the figure of Zhuo Zhuo Zhuo shaking. Lu Hui's heart tightened violently, and his already fair face was a little blue now.

Death, who is not afraid? She has always advised herself to calm down, but the instinctive fear of death is difficult to hide. That moment finally came.

Sure enough, those people also found her, and they stepped on the fallen reeds, and pressed on them step by step. Standing at the forefront is still that Yuefu. At this time, his ugly face has more of the frivolity of a villain. Now it's just a turtle in an urn, and sooner or later the gong will be his. He flicked the bow he was carrying and unloaded it, ready to mount the arrow.

At this time, Cai Ye's undoubted voice came from afar: "Yuefu, what I want is foolproof." The sound quickly dispersed in the wind, but it struck at the heartstrings of the green club over and over again. This ruthlessness seems to break through the sky.

Yuefu, who wanted to take the credit alone, stopped what he was doing, and reluctantly gave an order to his subordinates: "Straight ahead, target, lake green spots, take arrows" The well-trained soldiers quickly put arrows on their respective bows, and the arrows were ready to go.

Midori had been watching their movements, and though there were still a few reeds blocking her view, she could roughly tell what they were doing.

She was still waiting, and she didn't dare to jump into the river until the last moment, because she subconsciously still hoped that there would be another miracle, and jumping off might be another point of no return.

"Hair ,,,,,", a short word seemed to make a few turns in the air, and the echo of a ** was like the sound of the gates of hell opening. With a "ping" sound, the arrow went off the string.

I can't help my mother-in-law, at this critical moment, Lu Hui picked up a stone next to her feet with one hand, and held the spliced reed pipe in her mouth with the other, and after running a few steps, she plunged into the water with a "bang". Arrows followed the green of the lake, almost touching the hem of the green of the green and whistling past.

"Oh no, she jumped into the river." One of the soldiers shouted. "Can't let her escape, hurry up and overwhelm the remaining reeds and go over and release the arrows." This time I was really anxious, Yuefu's face turned a little red, I didn't expect this girl to throw herself into the river, and the cooked duck flew away like this.

Due to the urgency of the situation, in less than a minute, patches of reeds fell one after another, as if building a natural bridge in the wetland. Yuefu and his men quickly crossed to the river.

Because it was so hurried, the green club thrown into the lake was almost choked. All around her was the stench of rotting branches and leaves, and the patchwork of reeds swayed in the water, and the more they swung down.

"Boom, boom, boom", arrows also pierced into the water, thanks to the help of the stone, the green hui sank deeper, and the resistance of the water "blocked" some arrows for her, but if this continues, it is inevitable that there will be arrows to her.

At this moment, the swaying reed pipe broke from the connection, and the top section floated with the current and floated to the surface.

"Look, the reed pipe has floated there, and there, release the arrows." As soon as the words fell, a dense rain of arrows fell in that direction.

I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing, Luhui has temporarily avoided the rain of arrows, but she can't breathe through the reed tube anymore, and she doesn't know how long she can hold her breath underwater, her chest is about to explode under the strong water pressure.

For the first time, Luhui felt that his own life was so uncontrollable, like quicksand between his fingers, passing little by little, and he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.

The power of life lies in disobedience. Although she hadn't even looked at what Cai Ye looked like, she thought that his voice had been deeply ingrained in her head.

In this life, he and her are on the same bar, and if God is pitiful, she will definitely let him try the taste of being labeled by death.

One qiē has exceeded the load of the green club. No, she must surface to breathe, maybe, the next second she will be a dead honeycomb.

When the soul was pulling with **, Lu Hui clearly found that the arrow rain suddenly stopped, and in a daze, he also heard the sound of people by the river stepping on the reeds and leaving, and gradually moved away.
