Riltov and Solvasv were lying quietly in the grass not far from the border, staring at the soldiers patrolling the border. Both of them had dark faces with tied beards, which had not been taken care of for many days, and their clothes were also dark and striped as if they were fleeing. They weren't like fleeing as they were.

The journey was full of disasters and hardships, as they were searched by the military and police, and watched by other hungry people. At that time, if they hadn't reacted quickly, the two families would have been put in the pot by others.

That's right, the phenomenon of cannibalism has appeared in Ukraine, not only eating the dead, and many people are so hungry that they can't stand it and start attacking other people. At first, they attacked lone passers-by, but later they became emboldened to spare even the smaller number of people who fled. And they saw with their own eyes that these fierce bandits were ambushing the fleeing crowd passing by. They first attacked men and strong women with sticks, and then attacked the elderly and children.

These people were flushed, but their eyes were green, and there was no humanity in their eyes. The face is full of vicious and explosive expressions, which makes people chill when they look at it.

Although they escaped the attacks of these people, there was still suffering along the way. Riltov's mother collapsed on the road, and while she was walking, she collapsed, and no matter how much anyone else screamed, she could not wake up. The wife was also separated during an escape from the military police, and they waited for half a day before she could show up again.

The same is true of the Solwasf family, whose mother and father are all lost on the road. Solvasv cried bitterly because of this, but he knew that it was impossible to go back, and he had to rush to Romania as soon as possible to survive.

The hardships and difficulties along the way finally made them close to the border, and now there was only one obstacle in front of them. Crossing the border is paradise, for both families. However, it is not easy to get through, as the army has pulled up barbed wire fences and planted mines along the border, and military dogs have been patrolling day and night.

Yesterday they also witnessed the scene of a family strayed into a minefield and was blown to pieces, and now they are terrified when they think about it.

After observing the situation, the two quietly retreated.

"What now? The patrols were too tight during the day to see no opportunities at all. ”

Solvasf asked worriedly as he stepped back.

Riltov, of course, knew why Solwasv said this, because the patrols were so dense that the interval between patrols was no more than ten minutes, and there was no possibility of escaping at all. "But the night is too dark, and if we are not careful, all of us will die, we will die. And the number of patrols at night is not much less than during the day, and those patrols are all with dogs, which is more difficult to pass. ”

"Then what should we do, this border patrol is too frequent, and the success rate is too low if you want to go over."

"Aren't I trying to figure out a way, it's no different from sending us to death like this."

"We can't afford it. Now we don't have much to eat, and if we don't think of a way, we're all going to starve to death on the border. ”

"How can an idea come up so quickly."

The border that embarrassed the two had not been so densely patrolled before. However, since last year, after the number of people crossing the border increased, orders from above caused the border troops to step up patrols.

In the past, nearly 100 crossings were caught every month, but since the second half of last year, the number of people crossing the border has increased day by day, reaching 7,800, and most of them are civilians who have fled. At the beginning of the year, there were thousands of arrests for crossing the border, and the highest number was last month, reaching 1,574. This is still caught, and those who successfully cross the border are more killed halfway through.

Therefore, Kiev's order is to strictly prevent these rich peasants, who are dissatisfied with the Bushvelviks, from smuggling across the border, so now the army patrols the border line day and night.

That's when Riltov suddenly said. "I've figured out a way."

"What's the solution?"

Solvasev heard Riltov's words and immediately asked.

"It's very simple, you've seen people crossing the border and being spotted by the army before."

Riltov told Solwasv about his solution. "You find out how much time it takes them to deal with these cross-border operations."

"It will take more than ten minutes to half an hour."

"Yes, this is our chance. When they detect a crossing, the army will immediately arrest them, and if they can't catch them, they will shoot them immediately. And the sound of gunfire will attract patrols on both sides to come immediately. If this is the case, then there will be a gap of more than 20 minutes on both sides of the arrest site, and we just take the opportunity to drill through. As long as you run across the border, it will be safe, and the army will definitely not dare to cross the border. ”

Riltov's approach to Solvasev's eyes lit up, as if at this moment he had already arrived in Romania. As if thinking of something, his brow furrowed again.

"But how can we be sure that someone crossed the border in that section?"

"Disperse and wait for the opportunity, as long as you hear the gunshots, immediately run in that direction, I have calculated to disperse us to a distance of two kilometers, as long as you hear gunshots at the border, immediately bypass from both sides."

"Then I'll find you to do it."

Riltov's words made Solvasv feel that this was the most feasible approach.

When the two returned to their hiding place and told their families about the solution, they all agreed. And in order to ensure safety, the two families acted separately.

The next day, after eating the rest of the food, the two patted each other on the shoulder.

"Take care, we'll see you in Romania."

"Take care, too."

The cold wind of winter can't hold the heat in the heart, and everyone knows that success or failure is here.

They then left the hiding place with their families.

The wait was hard, but Riltov waited patiently. He couldn't let his mother and wife die in vain, she had to leave here with her son and sister. Even if he felt the biting cold because he was lying in the snow. It was the spot he had chosen, there were no mines along the border, at least he saw small animals running past.

Wave after wave of patrols passed, and the soldiers, with rifles on their backs and dogs on their backs, watched vigilantly as they watched. Seeing that the sun was gradually turning west, the gunfire that Riltov had been waiting for finally came.

"Smack."

It was a gunshot that cheered up the Riltov family.

"Smack, smack."

These were two gunshots, both of which came from a distance of about a kilometer from him.

Riltov suppressed his son, who was excited to rush out.

"Wait."

Sure enough, within five minutes, a patrol of troops hurried over, waiting until they saw their figures.

Riltov whispered. "Let's go, it's now."

After saying that, he took his son and sister's hands with one hand and ran to the border first.

At this moment, several people also ran out from not far from him. Neither side spoke. However, judging from the actions, everyone knows that the other party is also a fugitive like himself.

At this time, Riltov didn't bother with the others, and dragged his son and sister to run towards the border through the snow. That barbed wire fence is the dividing line between heaven and hell, and as long as it is over, all the good things are beckoning to them.

Although there was snow on the ground, fortunately the snow had melted a lot now, so it didn't make the three of them feel too tired. By the time they reached the barbed wire, they saw that the people they had seen earlier had already taken off their thick coats. They carried it onto the barbed wire fence and began to climb with both hands.

The spikes in the barbed wire made everyone's hands bleed, but no one cared that they gritted their teeth and struggled to climb up.

Riltov took off his coat and put it on the barbed wire, and his son began to climb on his back. And the sister next to him did not hesitate to climb the barbed wire fence in the same way.

From a distance, they look like geckos climbing walls. The blood couldn't help but stain their hands red, and it also left traces on the barbed wire, which was soaked in blood, and it looked so bright, like the bones of flowers about to bloom.

Suddenly, someone slipped and fell, and a muffled grunt came from his mouth. The man didn't care if he had been injured or not, and immediately resumed climbing.

Finally someone climbed over the barbed wire, and he immediately ran forward. Then the others flipped over one after another, and Riltov and his sister gasped for breath.

Everyone did the same thing, they left in a hurry. No one spoke, and no one asked.

It was only after they couldn't see the barbed wire that the group stopped to catch their breath.

And at this time, someone in that group walked up to Riltov and stretched out his hand. "Hello, my name is Tolikov."

"Hello, my name is Riltof."

At this time, someone said. "Let's go as soon as we have enough rest, we will be safe when we meet the Romanian patrol. They will give us water and food and will not send us back. ”

So the group walked away. And Riltov was worried about his friend's family, and quickly said. "You guys go first, I have friends coming from somewhere else. I'm going to look for them. ”

"Then you look for it slowly, let's go first. Heaven I'm coming. ”
