Since the Han Dynasty, the Han people in the border counties were taken captive by the Huns no less than hundreds of thousands, but there are very few Han people who can really go to the grassland, and the survivors are generally Han women and children, and the strong men died in large numbers on the way, and their corpses were spread from the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty to the Ape Juxu Mountain, and the Han people living in the border counties called this road the ghost road.

……

Lin Bin could feel a burst of hot pain coming from his injured left rib, due to the excessive water consumption of his body after a long run, his throat was dry and terrible, he originally wanted to stop and take out the gauze in his front chest pocket to bandage it, but the current situation did not allow it.

He ran in front, and behind him were Dou Shiyan and others, who had been running wildly in the darkness for more than ten minutes.

Unable to make out the direction in the dark, unable to see, after tripping many times, they could only get up without saying a word, although they were knocked to the mouth full of mud and sand, and their jaws were blurred with flesh and blood, no one dared to cry out in pain, accompanied by the constant sound of rustling under their feet and the sound of panting like a cow.

The direction that Lin Bin chose to flee was very desolate, and the terrain was also very complicated, with undulating slopes everywhere, but fortunately, there were many sunken basins, and they were not discovered by the Huns for the time being due to the low visibility of their vision.

There are hardly patches of green grass or woods to be seen here, only yellow sand and deserts, and occasionally dead trees can be seen towering in the dark, and the twisted trunks of the trees and the constant howling of the wind can frighten people.

The Huns are good at hunting down their prey, under the dark sky, every once in a while you can always hear a terrible scream from afar, that is the fleeing Han people were caught up and killed, the screams are getting closer and closer to the position of Lin Bin and others, in order to escape, they don't need to be urged at all, everyone runs hard.

Running long distances on undulating slopes is very physically demanding, and the distance between the five people is getting wider and wider. Lin Bin is not a good leader, he is not familiar with everything here, but as one of the elite paratroopers of the Republic, he has an excellent sense of direction, and the group has been moving in the northeast direction.

There was another knockdown sound, and then Sima Tong's choked voice was heard, and the choked sound was so desperate. Sima Tong tried several times but didn't get up, he had exhausted his strength, his chest was uncomfortable, although he was already breathing very hard, he couldn't breathe in more air, and his throat was like fire.

Gongsun Hong suddenly saw Lin Bin, who was running at the forefront, slammed down, his body turned sharply, as if he wanted to turn back, which made him sweat in a hurry, and he couldn't delay at all when he was in the middle of life and death, according to him, there were two burdens in this fleeing team, that is, Sima Tong, who was weak, and Dou Shiyan, who was injured in his left arm.

As soon as Lin Bin stopped, the whole team also stopped, and they tried their best not to let their height rise above the slope.

A sudden neighing of horses came from the south, attracting their attention, and Lugo Zuomu lay on the ground and crawled up the slope, and saw a few fires constantly extinguishing at a distance from here, which made his heart beat with horror, and he almost exclaimed.

Lin Bin looked at Sima Tong, the figure in the darkness who kept choking kept crawling forward, and in the quiet night, the small choking sound was clear in the ears.

"Don't hesitate, the little scholar is already dehydrated, and the Hun pursuers are approaching, if I don't leave, I will die here!" The person who spoke was Gongsun Hong.

Lin Bin knew that Gongsun Hong was right, but intuitively he felt that something was wrong, he looked at the figure that was still crawling forward, his heart moved, and he ran towards Sima Tong regardless of everyone's resistance, "You go forward first, don't stop, I'll chase you later." ”

Gongsun Hong's face was full of anger, he pulled his legs and ran wildly, he looked down on the indecisive Lin Bin very much in his heart, and he had already had the idea of escaping alone. Lu Wu Zuomu also ran wildly, and only Dou Shiyan was still lying on the spot.

As soon as Lin Bin squatted down beside Sima Tong, he was firmly grasped by a pair of hands, he did not speak, but picked up Sima Tong and ran wildly. It's not that he can't leave Sima Tong with a soft heart, but that leaving Sima Tong in place will inevitably reveal their location, once the Huns find Sima Tong lying on the ground, they will check the surroundings, and if the Huns follow the footprints, they will run far in vain.

Lin Bin ignored Sima Tong, who had been muttering something, and ran with his head bored, his attention all attracted by the light spots swimming in the distance. It didn't take long for Lin Bin and the three of them to catch up with Gongsun Hong and Lu Wu Zuomu, only to see the two lying motionless in a hollow, and there were also points of light that kept swimming in front of them, which was obviously the Hun pursuers who encircled them at the speed of borrowing horses.

"What to do? There are chasing soldiers in front of you! Rao is Gongsun Hong, who has always been very calm, and his voice is also full of anxiety at this moment.

A group of people poked their heads out and watched as the range of the Huns' outflanking became smaller and smaller, and the points of light swimming in the rear made a maneuver to close, and when they gathered together, a miserable howl like a ghost sounded in the dark night.

Unlike other people's helpless performance, Lin Bin was very calm at the moment, he quickly ploughed the soft yellow sand on the ground, here was a Ge desert, the sand layer was thicker, and after a while, a small long pit was dug out, he reached out and pulled Sima Tong and threw him into the pit, "Strip and wrap your head, try to hold your breath." Immediately, Sima Tong's rolled up body was covered with yellow sand again, and in a moment Sima Tong seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Dou Shiyan and the others were stunned, they came back to their senses and did so, they dug the pit, but they couldn't bury themselves, and hurriedly asked Lin Bin for help, but they didn't think that if Lin Bin helped them, who could help Lin Bin.

Lin Bin instructed them to control the rhythm of their breathing, and then covered up the three of them, and when they helped Dou Shiyan, Dou Shiyan's body was trembling, and the arrow on his left arm had not been pulled out. Lin Bin helped Dou Shiyan cover the yellow sand and couldn't cover his figure at all, as long as he looked closely, he could find that a sandbag was constantly trembling, Lin Bin had no choice but to thicken the yellow sand until the tremor was not easy to find.

Lin Bin knew that people couldn't stay in the yellow sand for too long, and if they didn't suffocate to death, they would be suffocated by the hot sand, and then they wouldn't be far from death, but there weren't too many choices at the moment.

Such a long description only happened in a very short period of time, after Lin Bin helped them hide their figures, he raced against time to try his best to clear the footprints around him, and he didn't know whether they had all been erased in the dark.

He endured the pain in his left rib and rolled on the ground, the original gray and white camouflage uniform on his body was the same color as the sand on the ground for a moment, he pulled up a handful of dry grass next to him and buttoned it to his head, his back was to the sky and his face was to the ground, his nose was full of the bitter taste of yellow sand, and his whole body trembled strangely and fell into the yellow sand.

Lin Bin was very worried that Dou Shiyan and Sima Tong would not be able to survive, their bodies were very weak, and if they were bored for a long time, they would probably die. Just as he was thinking nonsense, a strange sound came from his eardrums, and the ground vibrated slightly, sounding like a group of people were running as hard as they could, with dozens of horses chasing after him. He lurked motionless, his head slanted and his eyes fixed on the direction from which the voice came.

Lin Bin subconsciously held his breath, the muscles of his whole body tensed again, and the body that fell into the yellow sand also arched slightly, as if he could jump up and kill the enemy at any time.

Before the sound came, it sounded like the dozen or so people were already in hysterics, and the cries of horror were getting closer and closer. Further behind it was the shouting of 'yo ho ho ho', which sounded extremely excited, and it was at this moment that the sound of horses' hooves on the sand began to become clear.

Lin Bin's nerves in the yellow sand tightened again, his eyes became very sharp, almost instinctively calculating how much time someone would arrive here, and it didn't take long to see the figure of the person appearing on the slope, and subconsciously thought in his heart: "It's here!" ”

Lin Bin is now very worried that Dou Shiyan will not be able to bear the pressure and suddenly reveal his figure, and the person who came did not stop but ran directly past them. What he was worried about didn't happen, and he was not in a hurry to be relieved, but more than two dozen huge figures that were galloping quickly suddenly appeared in a 'yo ho' whistling sound.

It seems that they did not want to kill the fleeing Han people immediately, but drove the fleeing Han people in a certain direction as if they were playing a hunting game, and they stopped on the left slope of the hiding place of Lin Bin and others, laughing fiercely in the light of the torches, and pointed their bloody scimitars at the Han people who were still running, not knowing what to say loudly.

From Lin Bin's point of view, the not tall Hun horse panted, and the front hooves kept stepping on the yellow sand on the ground, what he was most afraid of now was that the Hun cavalry drove their horses to advance from the direction where they were evading, if that was the case, dozens of war horses and horses' hooves would definitely be trampled into flesh and mud if they stepped on them.

Just in response to a sentence, the more people are afraid of what will happen, the Huns who took the lead said a word of Hun language loudly, more than 20 Hun cavalry moved again, they were divided into several groups, among which three horsemen galloped in the direction of Lin Bin and them, almost an instant, the hooves of the three war horses stepped on the yellow sand and galloped past.

Until the Huns went away, Lin Bin still didn't dare to move, just now the horse's hooves that kept enlarging in front of him were almost suffocating, fortunately, the position of the foothold was a little bit away from Lin Bin's head, otherwise the ground is definitely red and white broken head melon seeds, Rao is like this, Lin Bin's face through the dry grass is still splashed with sand and pain.

After about five minutes, the silence of heaven and earth returned, Lin Bin squatted up with his body bowed, he climbed up with his hands and feet on the ground, he came to the place where Dou Shiyan and others were hiding, found the position and dug the yellow sand, and after a while, his fingers touched the linen, and quickly inserted it into the sand, lifting the whole person up......

Except for Gongsun Hong, Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu, who were successively dug out of the sand by Lin Bin, had all fainted. When it was time to dig out Sima Tong, Lin Bin's hand shaving yellow sand came to a wet touch, which made Lin Bin frightened, what he dug out was a corpse, Sima Tong's back was sunken, his mouth and nose were bleeding profusely, and there was no sand in his nasal cavity, which showed that he had died when he was trampled, and his half-open eyes were full of sand.

Gongsun Hong gulped in a big gulp of air, he was about to cry the first moment he was dug out of the yellow sand pile by Lin Bin, if Lin Bin hadn't hurriedly covered his mouth, he didn't know what would have happened. When Gongsun Hong calmed down, he saw Lin Bin dig out Sima Tong's body, he couldn't help but exhale a breath after escaping, he was very glad that he was still alive, but he was happy about Sima Tong's death, which meant that there was one less burden, waiting to see Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu lying motionless on the ground, he was glad not to get up.

Lin Bin buried Sima Tong's body in yellow sand again, and he looked at the falling chain tied with a small stone with hemp rope tied from Sima Tong's neck with some sadness. The impression of Sima Tong wanted to live, but he died after all.

He couldn't help but think: "If it weren't for those dozen or so people who attracted the attention of the Huns, they should all be dead, right?" "For him, such a disguise is simply terrible.
