CHAPTER IX

Heavy, so heavy, at this moment, Li Wuyan seemed to be pressed by Wuzhi Mountain, and his whole body couldn't move. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Where is this? Am I dead? Am I dead or not? Li Wuyan wanted to know where he was, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Li Wuyan wanted to twist his neck, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything now, the only thing he could do was to feel that he was sinking. It seems that I am dead, Li Wuyan gave up struggling, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and quietly waited for death to come.

Suddenly, there was a noise in his ears, and after a while, he felt that someone was slapping his face. He subconsciously opened his eyes, and the darkness in front of him disappeared, only a dazzling light. Li Wuyan couldn't help but squint his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to block the light on his head with his hand, but just as he wanted to raise his hand, he felt a sharp pain, he gasped, and still moved his hand in front of him.

His eyes gradually adjusted to the environment, and his body bent forward slightly, squinting at it.

Well, the red hair band is still there.

Li Wuyan wanted to laugh a little, but as soon as he grinned, the wound at the corner of his mouth made him take a few breaths of cold air. He wanted to see who had saved him, and he barely twisted his neck, but the expression on his face froze the moment he saw his life-saving benefactor. What caught his eye was not the familiar Dayan leather armor, but the cyan coat and small pointed hat that were unfamiliar to him.

Fortunately, Li Wuyan became a captive of the Shaxia people.

Wuwei City's attack should have failed this time, because the surrounding Shaxia people were cleaning up the battlefield. Li Wuyan was followed by a soldier leading a horse with his hands tied. The Shasha soldiers kept poking and poking left and right in the pile of corpses on the ground, while Li Wuyan watched the hellish scene as he walked. The blood had already stained the loess under his feet red, and as far as the eye could see, there were only corpses, mutilated body parts, and the internal organs of the dead. It was the first time Li Wuyan had seen such an infiltrating scene, and he couldn't help but want to retch, but as soon as he stopped, the Shasha soldiers in front of him also stopped as if they had long eyes behind him, and then turned around and took out a whip and beat Li Wuyan fiercely. Li Wuyan didn't have the strength to continue resisting, so he had to endure his vomiting and continue to follow him.

Li Wuyan followed the Shaxia soldier to clean up the battlefield for an afternoon, until when the sun sank in the western mountains, the soldier spat fiercely, said something that Li Wuyan didn't understand, and then turned around and slapped Li Wuyan hard, and began to close with the others. There are not many people who survive on the battlefield, and even fewer are physically intact like Li Wuyan. The soldier took Li Wuyan around, looking at his proud appearance, although Li Wuyan couldn't understand what they were saying, he could guess that he should be showing off what he had gained today. Li Wuyan was a little unaccustomed to the same eyes of the Shasha people around him as he looked at the goods, and even a big bald head licked his lips at him, which made him feel a chill in his heart and couldn't help but shiver.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the place where the Shasha people were camped, and the Shasha soldier gave Li Wuyan half a piece of bread, and then tied his feet together with hemp rope, and threw him directly into the stable like the other captives, and left him alone. It seems that the Shasha people are very confident and are not afraid of these captives escaping at all. And Li Wuyan didn't let go of this great opportunity, and after quickly gnawing the half of the big cake for a while, he began to find a small stone to grind the hemp rope tied to his hand.

The stones that could be found were too small, and they deflected away with a little force, and after a while, Li Wuyan's hands became bloody and blurry, but he didn't care, and still slowly sharpened the shackles on his hands. He stared straight outside, the Shasha people in the distance were partying, and no one cared about their captives. After a while, he didn't think it was interesting, and looked at the others in the stable. Unexpectedly, except for him, everyone else was quiet, and for a moment Li Wuyan even wondered if everyone else was dead. But whether he dies or not has nothing to do with Li Wuyan, now he just wants to quickly break the hemp rope in his hand, take the opportunity to escape from here, and then ...... What's going to happen then? Just go home? Or continue to be a mercenary who has no future? Forget it, you might as well be a flower thief.

Li Wuyan was grinding the rope while thinking nonsense, until the cheers of the Shasha people gradually became smaller, and Li Wuyan felt a little loose in the hemp rope. He sped up again, his hands expanding outward. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the stable, which sounded scattered, but heavy, presumably of a drunken Shasha. Li Wuyan didn't know what this Shasha man wanted to do when he came to the stable at this time, and for the sake of conservatism, he slowly moved backwards towards the shadow of the stable, and his hands rubbed faster. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Li Wuyan hid behind the horse, looked over, and then looked at the faint moonlight, it turned out to be the big bald head that licked his lips at night. This is not good, Li Wuyan is 100% sure that this bald head is coming at him, he hurriedly held his breath, and while grinding the hemp rope, he secretly prayed to God that the rope could be broken quickly, absolutely!

The bald head seemed to be drunk, and walked staggeringly, and from time to time he had to hold on to the pillar of the bolted horse. He picked up the prisoners who had fallen to the ground one by one and took a closer look, and when he found that it was not the person he was looking for, he threw them back to the ground rudely. Even though the bald man's movements were so rough, none of the captives resisted him, not even making a sound. Li Wuyan was a little panicked in his heart, but he didn't jump out to kill himself, so he could only continue his great cause of grinding ropes.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and the hemp rope tied to Li Wuyan's hand was finally broken. He endured the numbness of his hands and began to untie the hemp rope that he had tied to his feet. Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared, replaced by a lewd laugh and a low whimper.

"What's the matter...... Li Wuyan couldn't hold back his emotions a little, the movements of his hands became faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder. When the bald man heard this, he lifted his pants and walked over to Li Wuyan. He looked around, looking for the source of the sound, to see which boy dared to disturb his good deeds. Suddenly, a hemp rope appeared around his neck and pulled him back. He didn't expect to be attacked by someone at all, and he fell to the ground in an instant. Then there was a huge pull around his neck, making it impossible for him to breathe. He wanted to push the people behind him away with his hands, but the alcohol was too strong to exert his strength. He changed his strategy again, kicking backwards to knock the people behind him out of the way. But it was as if he was against a wall, and no matter what, he couldn't move a bit. His consciousness is getting more and more blurred, and his strength to resist is getting smaller and smaller, am I going to die here? This was his last consciousness.

The bald man's body had long since stopped moving, but Li Wuyan still strangled his neck. This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands, and his brain was still a little confused, when someone suddenly gently patted him on the shoulder, Li Wuyan was startled, but he still didn't let go of the rope in his hand, just turned his head over. The person who patted him was a young man in ragged clothes, and he first folded his hands and bowed to Li Wuyan, as if to thank him. Then he pointed to the tents around him, and then to the night sky above him, and Li Wuyan quickly understood what he meant. He let go of the rope in his hand and kicked the big bald head away, but just as he was about to climb onto a nearby horse, the young man stopped him again. Although Li Wuyan did not understand why the young man stopped him from riding away on horseback, he believed that the young man should have no malicious intent. He ran some distance outside, only to find that the young man had not followed. He thought something had happened again, and quickly turned around, but saw the young man standing alone in the stable and watching him. The young man looked at him and waved at him again, as if he had no intention of running away. Li Wuyan didn't understand why he chose to stay in this demon cave, but he couldn't care about others anymore, so he could only grit his teeth, wave his hand at the young man, and then walk away.

The moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and Li Wuyan ran on the grassland with the biting chill. But after a while, he was physically exhausted, so he could only lean on the ground and pant for a rest. He turned his head to look at the place where the Shasha soldiers were camped, it was still calm, and no one should have noticed that he had escaped. Then he looked up at the night sky and checked the direction of his escape. On this land, as far as the eye can see, it is either grass or grass, and Li Wuyan can only confirm the direction through the star map. Further north is the territory of the Shasha people, and he should run south, Li Wuyan closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart, then stood up and resolutely continued to run in the opposite direction of the North Star.

Li Wuyan didn't know how long he had been running, and he didn't fall down until he finally lost his strength. He lay on the ground gasping for air, the cold air cutting his lungs like a knife, but he couldn't care so much, and he didn't even feel like he could breathe enough. The Shasha man's barracks were no longer visible, but there was loneliness around him, and he didn't know where he was now. The most terrible thing is that not only is it physical exhaustion, but also hunger and cold are entangled with him like a reaper, gradually dragging him into the abyss, and in the end, he can't escape the palm of death? Li Wuyan gradually lost consciousness.

When Li Wuyan woke up again, he was already in a truck. The cargo kept squeezing his body, making him feel very uncomfortable. The most hateful thing was the wooden box above his head, which kept beating Li Wuyan's head with the rhythm of the truck's vibration, which was no longer uncomfortable, and he wondered if his head was worn out with a layer of skin. Li Wuyan wanted to put the wooden box right, but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand now, so he could only helplessly let the wooden box continue to beat his head.

When Li Wuyan was groggy and about to fall asleep, the truck stopped, and after a while, the head of a middle-aged woman poked out from above the truck. Li Wuyan saw the little round hat on her head, and sighed silently in his heart, it seems that this has never escaped the palm of the Shaxia people. The Shasha woman saw Li Wuyan wake up and gently lowered him from the van, then rested his head on her lap and pulled out a water bottle to feed him water. Li Wuyan's mouth was already dry, so he couldn't wait to take several sips. But at this time, his senses were still very dull, and he was choked all of a sudden, and he couldn't help bending his body and coughing hard. The Shasha man put down the kettle, patted him lightly on the back, and said something that Li Wuyan didn't understand, probably telling him to drink slowly. After Li Wuyan got a little better, she leaned Li Wuyan on her lap again, tilted the kettle slightly, and let the water flow slowly into Li Wuyan's mouth, and Li Wuyan also obediently leaned on the water and waited for the water to slowly moisten his body.

After a long absence of more than two months, Li Wuyan once again felt the warmth of the world.
