Chapter 128: Prison Break
Liu Zhongyi once again proposed to go south, and Mei Renhou also felt that there was little hope of going further east. So, the procession headed south.
The soldiers' shoes were torn, their clothes and pants were rotten, but no one cared about them. The group was listless, staggering forward barefoot.
A man walked straight and composed at the front of the line. This man is Huaiyong. He maintained the demeanor of a soldier at all times.
There were also three female bandits in the mix.
The soldiers had already complained that they wanted to throw away the burden, but they didn't dare to say it to Mei Renhou in person, only Liu Zhongyi said it once: "Master, those three female bandits ate and drank for nothing, and they are a burden with them, so just dispose of them." ”
The so-called "disposal" is either killed or killed.
Mei Renhou didn't say a word, just walked forward. He also has an inexplicable affection for Autumn Girl, and that sandstorm night makes him unforgettable. Besides, he is really soft-hearted and can't do anything to a few unarmed women. What's more, he also pinned his hopes of getting out of the desert on the three female bandits.
Seeing Mei Renhou's attitude, Liu Zhongyi shut up and stopped saying anything.
The march is getting harder and harder. The gun was originally the second life of the soldiers, but at this time the soldiers were used as crutches.
Seeing the seriousness of the problem, Mei Renhou had to order the soldiers to move forward lightly and throw away the rest. He was reluctant to throw away the box gun, even though it hung around his waist and became a burden to them.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get out of the Dead Man's Beach.
The sun hangs overhead, and the flames are not diminishing yesterday. All of them have shed a layer of skin. From a distance, no one believed that it was a force, but rather a group of refugees fleeing the famine. Sweat stained their uniforms to a discernible color and tattered, thirst and hunger made them look like hungry ghosts, and completely crushed them physically and mentally.
The regiments hung their heads, silently, and mechanically walked forward, leaving behind a string of sand nests, but no one knew where they were going, and the oasis and water were the common goals of their hearts.
Worse still, they encountered the "ghost hitting the wall" again, and at dusk they walked back to the poplar forest. Everyone stared blankly at the poplar forest, as if they were dumb.
Mei Renhou let out a "hey-" and slammed his fist on his chest, then threw himself on the sand and closed his eyes. He was afraid that the soldiers would see his painful and disappointed eyes.
When the group members saw the boss like this, they all lay down horizontally.
It's another desert night.
It's all around. There was no moon, no wind, just starry skies, peering at dozens of creatures lying in the poplar forest.
I didn't eat or drink, I walked for another day, and I encountered "ghosts hitting the wall", and everyone's spirits collapsed.
Mei Renhou and his gang were groggy and confused, but the three female bandits did not fall asleep.
Delta was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. Her eyes were closed, and her mind was foggy. Suddenly, someone pushed her, and she was confused and didn't pay attention. The man nudged her a few more times, and crawled beside her and told her, "Wake up! ”
She was a little sober, and she could tell that it was Qiu Meizi calling her. She was very sleepy and tired, and said unhappily, "What are you doing?" I'm tired. She didn't even open her eyes.
Qiu Meizi scolded in a low and fierce voice: "Silly fork, you know how to sleep!" Wake up! Reaching out and twisting it on Delta's thigh.
Tami trembled in pain and opened her eyes, only to see that Qiu Meizi and Yuxiu were both staring at her, their eyes burning like thieves.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's run!"
"Run? Where to run? ”
"Get rid of these Qiu Ba and run back to Qinglong Mountain."
"Can you get out? The first few days of walking have not been going around in circles on the beach of the dead. ”
"Yuxiu knows the way to go."
At this time, it suddenly occurred to Tamei that the first time she encountered the "ghost hitting the wall", Yuxiu gloated and revealed the secret that she knew the path. It seems that Yuxiu really knows the secret of getting out of the desert. She was overjoyed in her heart, and her whole body suddenly became energetic, but she still didn't believe it: "Really? ”
Yuxiu said: "It's not steamed or boiled!" Did you see the twin tree? ”
Delta rolled over and crawled on the sand. The double-branched poplar was only about two feet away from them, and although the night was shrouded, the starlight was shining, and the thick and tall stalks of the double-branched poplar were faintly visible. But she didn't see anything famous.
Yuxiu lowered her voice very low: "Follow the direction of the leafy branches, and you will be able to walk out of the Dead Man's Beach in less than half a day." ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier."
Qiu Meizi was a little annoyed: "Are you really a stupid fork? Do you want to tell that brute? I wish they were all trapped here. ”
Damei hates Yuxiu's dirty mouth the most, like a thatched house, and her mouth is unbearable when anything comes out. I really want to screw it on Yuxiu's mouth. But she didn't do anything, she was completely awake, Yuxiu was not talking nonsense, she really knew the way. Her spirits were lifted and she was given birth to a wave of strength.
Delta said worriedly, "Can you escape?" If they catch it again, they will really die. ”
"Can you live if you don't run away? If we can't survive for another day, this guy will roast us and eat it. ”
Delta shuddered. She was fully aware of where she was. This guy Qiu Bayi is crazy hungry, and he can do anything.
"Are you two going or not? If you don't leave, I'll go. Qiu Meizi got up and said again: "After this village, there may not be that shop." ”
Night shrouded the desert, and the poplar forest was silent, deathly silent. This is a great time to escape.
Tamei and Yuxiu glanced at each other, struggling to get up. Staggered to his feet. Delta only felt that his whole body was sore, he had no strength, and his legs seemed to be boneless, and he couldn't stand up. Qiu Meizi kicked her and said viciously: "If you don't get up, we'll leave!" ”
This kick hurt Tami and gave her strength. She gritted her teeth and stood up. She knew full well that if they fled, she would surely die. She doesn't want to die, she wants to live!
Without food or drink, women have more endurance than men. After entering the Dead Man's Beach, they received much less food and water than Mei Renhou and them, and although they were already very weak and tired, if there was another sandstorm, they would probably die in the sandstorm.
But at this moment, the desire to survive gave birth to a force for them.
The three of them walked in a hurry, tiptoeing out of the sand nest.
Autumn girls are at the forefront. When they arrived at the mouth of Shawokou, a person was lying sideways, blocking the exit.
Yuxiu hesitated slightly, raised her foot and wanted to step over the lying man. It may be that Yuxiu was too weak and her legs were not raised high enough, and she was blocked by the lying person, and her body fell outward.
Qiu Meizi was so frightened that she crawled on the ground and didn't dare to move. Yuxiu fell out at this time, hurriedly got up, and ran away. Her body is so weak that she says she is "running", but in fact it is not much faster than walking.
The lying man rolled over and muttered, "Who, what are you doing?" ”
Where did Qiu Meizi and Damei dare to respond, crawling there and not daring to move, the lying man didn't hear the answer, opened his eyes, saw a figure, and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Instead of standing, the man walked faster. The lying man realized that something was wrong, got up and chased after him......
At that time, Mei Renhou was sleeping, but the devil of hunger was still tormenting him. A cat-scratching discomfort in his stomach woke him up. When I opened my eyes, the east was already white.
At this hour, it is best to march on the Dead Man's Beach. He struggled to get up, and shouted at everyone to go, saying that he couldn't stay in this place and wait for death.
He couldn't stand up after struggling for a long time, he only felt that he had no strength in his body, and he was so sleepy. Thirst and hunger ate at his body, tormented his nerves, and he felt that he could not support it, and he was about to die.
Suddenly, he heard a noise, and in a flash, the three female bandits lying beside him were gone. Immediately realizing that the situation was not good, he couldn't help but shiver, and out of nowhere, he struggled to get up and staggered away.
The sound was made by Yuxiu and Huaiyong fighting.
Lying on the mouth of the sand nest is Huaiyong. Yuxiu's trip woke him up, and in a dim sense he saw someone walking out of the sand nest. He was extremely tired, and asked in a daze, "Who is it and what are you going to do?" ”
Half loud, no one answered, he felt that something was not right, and opened his eyes to see that it was a woman who walked out of the sand nest. His scalp tightened, and he woke up and shouted, "Stop! ”
