Chapter 5: Life and Death (II
I dreamed again, dreaming of the few homeless people who were stoned to death by me, and then I stoned them to death again, and even if they hit it with a brick, even if they were, they would never recognize this mess of rotten meat, and even zombies could not be resurrected with full blood on the spot.
The faces of the women I hid under the ice cellar, their graceful and delicate, bright and sweet faces, helpless and attached, so vivid and unreal, when I wanted to hug and kiss them, and then do something, these scenes of warm nephrite suddenly stirred, like a deep whirlpool, into the rippling surface of the fire.
the sound of splattered blood and the staggered fighting of blades; burning boats and collapsing bridges; the icy water of the river and the torches rushing and chasing on the shore; The anxious young faces in the darkness, and their inexplicable roars behind me; Immersed in the depths of the river like a lead lump, he got close to the swelling and pale face of the dead man, the body temperature that disappeared rapidly, and he covered his mouth and nose tightly, looking at the fire that shook densely on the water......
Feeling the strip of cloth still wrapped around my body, which seemed to be a pair of gentle arms, tied for me with the torn hem of my skirt, I suddenly had some kind of auditory hallucination again.
"Senior......
"You're awake......"
Some scrambling voices poured into my ears
"You see, we've escaped......"
"You've accomplished the impossible......"
"We will definitely be famous in the world......"
"We will definitely live well and get this qiē back for those who are still alive and those who are dead,"
"Damn ......"
"They're catching up again......"
Then there is the sensation of the upheaval of the senses and the cold of the river, as well as the tactile sensation of clinging.
"I'm sorry ......"
An ethereal female voice said quietly
"You're such a nice guy......"
"It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time......"
"This qiē after meeting you is obviously a mistake, and I can't let it go on anymore......"
"So ......"
"I had to ...... Please you're gone forever......"
The sharp pain in his head and the sound of silk tearing came to an abrupt end in the deep darkness.
I clutched my violently trembling heart and sat up suddenly, an inexplicable sadness and determination made me sleepy, and I slowly retracted my stiff arm that was grabbing the darkness, erasing the wetness from the corners of my eyes.
Obviously, I dreamed about what happened to my physical ex again, and it seemed that I was rescued by someone who suddenly issued a good person card and then refused to do so, decisively sent the lunch, and abandoned it in the river and drifted with the flow.
In the end, it seemed that the pain and blow of heavy setbacks, coupled with the heartbreak of all hopes, made him voluntarily give up the will to live, and this gave me my possession and new life, although there are more things that I can't think of for the time being.
Rest assured, no one can fail me without paying the price, no matter who she is, I secretly swear to the last unknown will.
As if it was some kind of psychological comfort or relief, the last bit of dissonance in my body gradually disappeared with the gradually sensitive senses, and other memories, like going back in time, slowly emerged, including fragments of my childhood life and growth, full of tropical hometown.
All kinds of thoughts and memories were mixed in my mind, making people sleepy, and the dancer's heart was still beating violently, I slowly got up, walked outside the shed, and began to release water in the cold night breeze.
Amid the heaving of snoring, a few dim fires illuminated the outline of the camp.
In the vast darkness, the floor was full of human bodies, huddled together in a mess, on the cold and damp mud, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm.
According to the observation and visual inspection during the day, the defense here is not very rigorous, even a pseudo-military fan like me, who is between the mouth cannon and the research stream, can see that this camp is not very qualified.
The crooked wooden fence was full of gaps, not so sturdy, there was not even a special watchtower, there were only two guards at the front and rear camp gates, and at night, as patrol posts, they had not moved for a long time.
Wouldn't I have a chance to get out of here? I looked at the night sky with a black hole in my heart, as if freedom or something was within reach.
Flee from the battlefield and right and wrong, look for an opportunity to secretly return to Luoyang, get back the reward I deserve, and then buy a boat to go south, in this chaotic world, I can't afford to play and hide, at least I can see out of sight.
In another part of my memory that I have just recovered, my hometown is located on a large island with warm and humid jungles near the Annam Prefecture, with large forests and slaves, except for the occasional typhoon two or three times a year, it can be said that the four seasons are like spring, and the manor life is stable and comfortable.
As one of the many island domains. Even if there is a dispute, the scale of the conflict will not be too large, compared to the protracted wars in Middle-earth, which can easily be tens of thousands.
With these material foundations, coupled with my knowledge as a traverser, it is easy to create better conditions for enjoyment, at least there are already predecessors of the traverser, which has paved the way for me. Whether it's as a boring idle in the territory, bullying men and women everywhere, or indulging in hobbies.
From now on, it is also a good choice to stay away from the war and these troublesome times, to live leisurely, and to embark on a certain route to slowly change the world by opening up the harem and spreading the seeds of the world.
I slowly walked away, leaned down, focused my attention and strength on the tiptoes, and stepped over the piles of snoring and thundering or dreaming bodies.
But I'm not an expert in stealth, and during this period, I have not encountered or scraped off, some inexplicable things, but fortunately, the snoring sound one after another has provided me with some cover. You can see the light of the fire at the camp gate, without any change or movement.
Suddenly, I paused, remembering that I had forgotten something, and at least I had to take some necessities, such as a wearable bag and rations, as well as a cane and a folding knife, and decided to return after the battle between heaven and man.
Some small sounds made me stop again, slowly lowering my body, is it not just me who can't sleep at night?
Holding my breath, looking for the source of the sound, suddenly I saw the edge of the fire not far away, a large shadow was wriggling, I rubbed my eyes, it was not the illusion caused by shaking the firelight, but there were really several human figures moving, they were also rickety, carefully crawling over the sleeping human body on the ground.
Suddenly I found that, in the direction of travel, their goal was clear, it was actually the shed where the horses were stored and where I was sleeping, and I stopped again, hid myself behind a large urn of water, and then continued to observe.
As I approached slowly, through the fire cages in the camp, I could see that they were holding thick sticks for firewood or stones that had been apparently picked up at hand, apparently from among the newly recruited vagrants, and the leader of them was holding a short knife, and gently picking up the open cloth, and then pouring in, poking and beating with all his might, and muttering something vague to himself.
I can't help but break into a cold sweat, it seems that the thugs in these towns have persevered to chase here, and they have mixed in to kill me.
After a few thoughts, I felt the other person's movement stop, and obviously I had noticed that something was wrong, and finally made up my mind, stood up and shouted at the top of my throat
"Someone is trying to escape ......"
Unfortunately, I was answered by empty echoes and a few shouts, as well as a frightened rush out, and a sudden look around, eager to eat the bones.
I shouted again,
"There are thieves stealing ...... camp"
This time, like a ripple of breaking, some tents in the center of the camp began to emit one movement after another, all kinds of scolding and scolding voices that had been disturbed by their dreams, and howls that were delirious.
Those attackers finally found the direction of the sound, but they seemed to have different amblyopia, even if they were separated by a dozen paces, they were still dazed, and they couldn't find my cunzài, so they had to grit their teeth and run out.
So I decided that I should thank the fucking for my night blindness, and opened my mouth again.
"There are assassins."
"Gone out of the water......"
This time the effect seemed to be very good, and suddenly in the tent in the center of the camp, as if pouring boiling water, many shirtless and hairy legs suddenly ran out, but they all held swords in their hands, looked around with sleepy eyes, and roared angrily.
"Where is the thief?"
"That dog thief barks ......"
Then someone finally saw the figures who trampled and kicked hard, crossed the prostrate pile of sleeping people, and provoked pieces of screams and ran wildly, so the goal was clear.
"The Master also can't sleep all night......"
The veteran slowly stepped out of the darkness, fully clothed, and stood beside me.
Looking at the water stains on my trouser legs, he smiled meaningfully and slowly turned away, which made me involuntarily relieved.
Returning to the scattered shed, I sat on the scratched haystack, which was really a terrible stimulus for my soul as a modern person.
Slowly calming down, I listened to some kind of noise and wind in the night, and the cacophony of chasing and shouting in the wind brought about half an hour later, when I was almost dozing off.
The gate of the camp was suddenly opened, and the snoring crowd was also kicked and woken up, and the gradually lit fire illuminated the pale faces of the crowd, staining their dazed expressions with a layer of blood, and from outside the open gate, some scarred people, who were dragged from behind the horses, stumbled in.
"Hang them up......"
"Let everyone see the real ......"
"These are the consequences of gathering crowds to abscond......"
With the angry voice of the leader Jiang An, these attempted escapees were stripped of their shirts, and then Jiang An's personal entourage picked up a few iron-covered sticks.
"Poof. Poof......"
In the midst of the dreary torture, the makeshift wooden poles soon became drenched in blood, but the cries and pleas for mercy gradually faded away. Looking at the first few people who were punished, my mood was not as calm as my expression, it was obvious that the people who were chasing me before, how they were also recruited.
Seeing their tragic situation, I felt like I had been doused with ice water, and my whole back was completely soaked in cold sweat, and there was a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Sadly seeing their fate, I suddenly realized that my escape plan was probably not so easy because of the obstacles. Happily, these people actually mixed into the army, but they were executed for running away that night by mistake, which is a potential hidden danger for me.
Whether this was luck or misfortune, I again struggled with sleepless until dawn.
