Chapter 59: The Only Way Out

The fleeing procession of more than 1,000 people huddled together and struggled to move forward in the wind and snow. The procession was silent, and even the cries of the dolls could not be heard, and everyone mechanically moved their numb legs to follow the people in front of them.

Where is the end of their journey?

Nobody knows.

They only knew that behind them, there should be officers and soldiers chasing, and it was their subconscious reaction to stay away from those fierce and vicious people.

Seven or eight men walked in the front, with their own bodies in the snow to make their debut, so that the people behind can save some strength, at this moment, they are walking through a canyon between the two mountains, the wind blows from the top of the hillside, and the snow on the slope is blown into the canyon, making the snow in the canyon particularly deep, and the men who go to the road can't go far, they will be exhausted, and they can only change another group of people up.

"Changfu, how far is it from Jigongling?" Chen Changping looked at Chen Changfu, who had just been replaced from the team in front of him, and asked.

Chen Changfu bent over, his hands on his knees, his face was dripping with sweat, but his legs were almost unconscious, his wife was standing behind him with a rag and put her arm into his back to rub it vigorously, and finally found a tattered coat from the baggage he carried and stuffed it in.

Don't look at Chen Changfu sweating profusely at this time, but it is also the time when he is most likely to get a cold. If it's okay at home, but in such an environment, being sick is equivalent to making an appointment for a place in the king of Yama.

"Big brother, at our current speed, we will probably be able to arrive when it gets dark today." After taking a breath, Chen Changfu straightened up, snatched the black rag from his wife's hand, and wiped a few handfuls on his face.

I didn't feel cold before, but when I rested at this time, the cold wind blew, and I immediately shivered violently.

Jigongling is already in Wuyi, and it is also the end point of Chen Changping and Chen Changfu's party, on that mountain, the caves are dense, and the deepest one can hardly be explored, which was accidentally discovered by Chen Changfu during a hunting, and for their group, it is now a good place to hide, at least to avoid the wind and snow. With a place to stay, there is no rain and snow, deep in the mountains, it is easy to find firewood for heating, and next, it is how to find life-saving food for these people.

"The food we carry can last for three days." Chen Changping lowered his voice and said worriedly: "Within three days, we must find food. ”

Looking around, I couldn't see anything except a white expanse, and the whole Daqing Mountain was dead silent, and not even a single bird could be seen. In other seasons, they would always find something to eat, but now, they can't find anything but the cold snow.

"After settling them, we'll go down the mountain." Chen Changfu said: "Wuyi, against Daqingshan, there is a big village, I walked once before, very rich, and where there is a big Zhuangzi, at first glance it is a rich family, robbed them, at least this winter, we can spend it safely." There are caves on Jigongling Mountain to live in, there is living water under the mountain, and there are large areas of flat land. ”

Chen Changping nodded, that's all.

The two discussed in a low voice, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd around them, and they turned their heads to look, but saw that an old man had fallen straight down on the snow.

They had already seen a lot of such a scene along the way, and they had long been numb, but after just one glance, they turned back again, and let the crowd over there strip the dead man naked, and wrapped the few clothes that had been stripped from his body on the body of a trembling half-sized child, and there was a low sobbing sound in the ranks, probably the relatives of the dead man, but just a few wails, and then fell silent again, and now, even if it was crying, it was a burden for them.

Death, for them, is more like a relief.

"Let's work hard, we can see Jigongling after turning over the beam in front." Chen Changping stood next to the team and cheered everyone loudly.

Maybe it's the fear of death that gives all Ping some strength, maybe it's what Chen Changping said that gives everyone more hope, in short, they feel that this journey of suffering is coming to an end, no matter what kind of situation Jigongling is in, at least, that's their destination.

The speed of the team's progress is actually much faster.

Li Ze was standing on the mountain beam that Chen Changping and his party were trying to climb over at this moment, the wind was blowing from behind him, and the snow on the slope was swept up by the wind, blowing towards the mountain, and also shrouded the figure of more than 1,000 people.

At this moment, Li Ze's heart was experiencing a great shock, he never thought that people could be so poor and miserable to this extent.

Li Ze in the previous life has not seen poor people, but compared to these people, they seem to be able to be called a well-off family, right? In this life, he has never suffered anything, even those tenants of his family, life is also prosperous, he can't imagine how these people appeared in front of him through most of the green mountains in such ice and snow.

He turned his head a little angrily and looked at the two Chen Chang'an brothers who were tied up tightly behind him.

Chen Changan's face was like ashes, and he hung his head and was silent.

In the leeward area behind the mountain beam, three hundred heavily armed secret camp soldiers were waiting for them, and Chen Changan knew that they were finished. struggled all the way, thinking that if he escaped to Daqing Mountain, he would be lucky to survive, but in the end, it was still a failure.

Chen Changan witnessed the process of Li Ze's subordinates fighting with Liu Chenglin, even a brave and good general like Liu Chenglin was not the opponent of these people in front of him, how could they, a rabble, block the opponent's blow?

Chen Changan closed his eyes tightly, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see the snow-white world in front of him turn into a blood-red.

"Childe, how do you fight this?" Tu Lichun's face showed an unbearable look.

Li Ze slowly swept over his subordinates, whether it was Li Hao, Li Han, Li Mi, or other secret camp soldiers, although they were still standing straight, they all had similar looks to Tu Lichun in their eyes. These people are also from poor backgrounds, and they have all had unbearable pasts.

Li Ze sighed: "No matter what, we still have to take them down first, otherwise these people who have nothing will come to our Wuyi, and the people of Wuyi will also suffer, hunger and cold will steal their hearts, for a mouthful of food, what can't be done?" Tu Lichun, drumming, trumpeting, appeared. ”

"Yes!" Tu Lichun waved his hand.

The sound of a desolate trumpet sounded in the wind and snow.

Chen Changping Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes full of despair.

The advancing team stopped a little sluggishly, and it took a long time for their brains, which were almost numb from the cold, to react to what was going on. In an instant, despair spread in the hearts of everyone, and they tried their best, but they still did not escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.

Escape?

Where do they still have strength.

Many people fell to the ground and did not move, and since they were going to die, let themselves rest for a while!

The cries of the children and women finally rang out again.

Li Ze turned around and walked in front of Chen Changan.

"Do you want them to live?"

"Dog officer, if you want to kill, you will kill, do you still want to play tricks on your grandfather?" Chen Changan shouted.

Li Ze sneered, picked up Chen Changan and walked to the beam, pointed to the team of thousands of people below and said, "It's very simple to die, but look at it, do you want them to die with you heroes?" ”

Chen Changan's face was pale.

"Untie him." Li Ze waved his hand.

"Go down and tell them that the first evil will be punished, and the remnant will not be held accountable, but you will bind your princes up, and the others may live." This is your only way out. Otherwise, this valley will become your grave. ”
