Chapter 132: Desperate Gambling
"Then I'll leave tomorrow." Huaiyong lay down on the sand, then sat up again, and stared at Qiu Meizi with a pair of eyes: "What should I do if this dog's girl ran away at night?" ”
Mei Renhou said: "I looked at her. ”
Huaiyong glanced at Mei Renhou, and his gaze was a little distrustful.
Mei Renhou looked around and smiled bitterly: "If only there was a way to run." ”
At this time, Zhongyi opened his mouth: "Master, then you will be a little more tired and take care of her." ”
Then he said to Huaiyong: "The master looks at her, let's sleep with peace of mind." As he spoke, he laid his body on the sand.
The responsibility fell on Mei Renhou's shoulders, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
He wasn't worried that Qiu Meizi would sneak away, he was afraid that some hungry and crazy soldier would kill Qiu Meizi while they were asleep. He had to protect the last female captive, and if someone killed her, he would probably lose his life. He asked Qiu Meizi to lie down next to him, but when he was about to lie down, he was still not at ease, and asked: "You won't run the ball while I'm asleep?" ”
Qiu Meizi did not avoid Mei Renhou's gaze, and after a while, she tied her left hand and Mei Renhou's right hand together with a rope, and lay down next to Mei Renhou. The thin clothes could no longer stop their intimate contact, and her body was already fleshy and boneless, and it had lost its due elasticity, but the heat was transmitted to the past, and the temptation aroused Mei Renhou's dying desire tormented by thirst, hunger, and exhaustion.
Mei Renhou swallowed dryly, and the little pitiful secretion that had risen in his mouth. Reason told Mei Renhou that he couldn't do anything stupid at this moment. He moved his buttocks, trying to leave Qiu Meizi's body.
Mei Renhou tried his best to calm his heart, and after a while, he asked, "Can you really take us out of the Dead Man's Beach?" ”
Autumn girl was silent.
"Why don't you say anything? You tell me the truth, do you know the way? ”
"I don't know."
Mei Renhou was shocked: "You dare to lie to me?!" ”
Seeing Mei Renhou's face change, Qiu Meizi smiled: "I'll scare you." ”
Mei Renhou breathed a sigh of relief: "My life is now in your hands, if you can't take us out of the Dead Man's Beach, if you die, I will also die." ”
"I understand, we're grasshoppers tied to a rope now."
"It's good that you understand. You can't hurt me, I still want to live. ”
"I don't hurt you, I want to live."
Qiu Meizi said, and leaned on Mei Renhou's body. Mei Renhou felt her body tremble for a moment, and didn't avoid it anymore, just let her snuggle so tightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he lay quietly.
He heard his own heartbeat, and he heard the heartbeat of the woman next to him......
Something was supposed to happen again on that desert night, but nothing happened.
In a daze, Mei Renhou felt an earthquake, and opened his eyes suddenly, it turned out to be Qiu Meizi shaking his shoulders vigorously.
"What's wrong?" Mei Renhou thought that someone was going to kill the female captive, and when he looked at it, Liu Huairen and the others were lying on the side, sleeping soundly.
"It's dawn, hurry as soon as possible." Qiu Meizi said.
Mei Renhou raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the morning glow was burning in the sky, indicating that this day was another sunny day, and the coolest time in the Dead Man's Beach was early in the morning, so he needed to hurry as soon as possible.
Mei Renhou wanted to stand up, but his right hand was weak, so he realized that his right wrist and Qiu Meizi's left wrist were still tied together. Qiu Meizi sat up and looked at him with a bright smile, showing her innocence. Mei Renhou also smiled at her, untied the rope tied to her wrist, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Mei Renhou got up and shouted at everyone to hurry up. Everyone knew that today was the day that would decide their life and death, and although they were extremely tired, they quickly struggled to get up and prepared to leave.
Mei Renhou glanced at Sister Qiu and said, "Let's go." ”
Qiu Meizi nodded and walked ahead to lead the way. Mei Renhou followed closely behind her, and Liu Zhongyi and Huaiyong followed behind.
After walking a short distance, Liu Zhongyi suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”
Mei Renhou and Qiu Meizi both stood still, looking back at Liu Huairen in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Mei Renhou asked Liu Huairen urgently.
Liu Zhongyi ignored Mei Renhou, rushed to Qiu Meizi viciously, grabbed her corset, gritted his teeth with a murderous face, and said, "You stinky bandit woman, where are you going to take us?!" ”
Qiu Meizi was a little stunned, and looked at Mei Renhou in panic. Mei Renhou stepped forward and asked urgently: "Lao Liu, what's wrong?" ”
Liu Zhongyi asked rhetorically: "Master, which direction are we going?" ”
Mei Renhou realized that they were walking in the opposite direction of the rising sun, but a little southerly, and couldn't help but "Geden" in his heart, and looked at Qiu Meizi suspiciously: "Is the direction right?" ”
Qiu Meizi nodded vigorously.
Huaiyong stepped forward, with a pair of eyes shining with a fierce light: "This stinky girl has to lead us to a dead end!" ”
A group of Qiu Ba all surrounded him, staring at Mei Renhou and Qiu Meizi with fierce eyes. Mei Renhou lacked confidence in his heart, and set his eyes on Qiu Meizi, who hurriedly said: "The direction of your first two walks is not right, and the more you walk, the more you can't find water." She pointed to the big poplar tree next to her: "There is a lake in the direction directly opposite the branch on the left side of this tree, and it will take half a day to get there." ”
Mei Renhou looked up to see that the branches on the left side of the big poplar tree were luxuriant, and the green shade was like an umbrella, which was the most peculiar scenery in this poplar forest. ”
Liu Zhongyi said: "Master, you believe her so much? ”
Mei Renhou didn't say anything.
Huaiyong asked again: "Is she going to lie to us?" ”
Mei Renhou said: "It's all come to this step of the field, what is she still lying to us." ”
Liu Zhongyi and Huaiyong looked at each other, and for a long time, they both set their eyes on Mei Renhou, and their eyes revealed an aggressive and ferocious atmosphere.
Mei Renhou didn't avoid their gazes, and said lightly: "Let's believe her once, if she really deceives us, you will kill her" Turning his head, he said to Qiu Meizi: "Lead the way ahead!" ”
The procession continued onward, with great difficulty.
Mei Renhou folded a branch for Autumn Sister. Autumn Girl smiled at him gratefully, and led the way with a stick on a branch.
The physical strength of the people is exhausted, and the desire to survive supports them to move forward. Life and hunger, thirst, and exhaustion are fighting to the death, and hardships and hardships are unprecedented.
At noon, the sun poured down the scorching fire, and the procession moved forward like a snail.
Suddenly, Huai Yong rushed in front of Qiu Meizi, a pair of deep-set eye sockets spewed out a fierce light, and scolded while panting: "Stinky bandit, do you know the way?!" ”
Qiu Meizi was on crutches, panting for breath, looking at Huaiyong at a loss. Mei Renhou stepped forward and said, "Huaiyong...... What, what's going on? ”
"The stinky bandit woman said that the journey is half a day, and the sun will be slanting...... Overhead, why don't you see the shadow of the lake? ”
Liu Zhongyi and his gang all surrounded them, glaring fiercely at Mei Renhou and Qiu Meizi. Qiu Meizi's physical exertion was too great, and she was panting vigorously and couldn't answer. I don't know who shouted: "Kill this bandit woman!" ”
Immediately, several Qiu Ba responded: "Kill her!" ”
A tall and thin man gathered in front drew a bayonet and pressed straight towards the autumn girl. Mei Renhou shouted: "Stop!" Grabbed the pistol and protected the autumn girl with her body, and the leopard's eyes widened: "Whoever dares to do it, I will kill whoever I want!" ”
Qiu Ba was stunned and didn't dare to act rashly, but they still surrounded Mei Renhou and Qiu Meizi with fierce eyes.
"Brothers, think about how slow our march is now! We may not be able to walk in a day now. ”
Qiu Meizi relieved herself at this time, pointed to the faintly visible sand beam in the distance and said, "Climb over that sand beam and you'll be there." ”
As soon as everyone raised their eyes and looked into the distance, a sand beam running through the north and south was faintly visible, about ten miles away. But who knows if it will be a boundless desert after crossing that sand beam?
Mei Renhou softened his tone and said, "Brothers, listen to me again, if there is still no hope in turning over that sand beam, you will do it." ”
Qiu Ba, who was wielding a knife, withdrew the guy in his hand.
The team desperately continued to move forward.
Vegetation such as red willow and camel grass appeared on the sandy ground, which was extremely scarce and very low at first. Gradually, the red willow and camel grass became more abundant and taller. Suddenly, Huaiyong bent down to pick up a dry mass of dung, and wondered, "Master, what is this?" "Hand it to Mei Renhou.
Mei Renhou looked at it for a long time, and said uncertainly: "It looks like wolf dung, maybe it's dog dung." There was surprise on his face, and after walking on the desert for more than half a month, he finally saw the green and the trail of the beast.
Suddenly, the autumn girl who was walking in front of him stumbled and fell to the ground. Mei Renhou hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My legs ......are weak," Qiu Meizi said weakly. She was frightened like never before, and her strength was too much to lose.
Mei Renhou hesitated for a moment and helped her up. Qiu Meizi made a grateful smile at him, gasped and said, "Climb over the sand beam in front and you'll be there." ”
"Let's go." Mei Renhou supported the female captive and walked forward with difficulty. The sand beam is close in front of you, but it seems to be far away in the sky. A group of people trudged with all the strength of their bodies.
At dusk, the team came to the sand beam, and when they looked down, there was a narrow valley of sand below, which led from west to east into the distance. The valley is full of trees and grass. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a small mirror-like lake embedded in the sand valley.
The group of people were stunned and didn't believe their eyes. Almost everyone was rubbing their eyes and grinning silently when they figured out that it wasn't a dream. A few of them began to cry.
