Chapter 2: The End of the Road
The sky was not beautiful, and in less than half an hour, heavy rain fell in the sky. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ye Ranshen stepped on the muddy grass with one shallow foot, kept reaching out to wipe the rain off his face, and looked ahead with empty eyes, "Is your uncle going to play with me?" ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and only the sound of rushing rain remained between the heavens and the earth, and under the shroud of rain and fog, the direction ahead was even more unclear, as if it was blocked by a cluster of gray mountains.
The sky became darker, but the rain did not stop. Ye Ran's heart sank to the bottom, he was soaked and had no place to hide from the rain, he walked for several hours, and he was so tired that he lay down when he was before, but now Ye Ran still insisted.
Chewing on the bitter blades of grass, swallowing saliva, and hurrying silently.
"If this continues, will I really die on this grassland?" Ye Ran muttered to himself.
In the dead and empty grassland, the whistling cold wind was like the roar of a monster in the distance, so frightened that Ye Ran would stop from time to time to take a look, but there was nothing but heavy rain.
"It would be nice to have someone to talk to me!" Ye Ran thought like this and walked for a long time.
In Ye Ran's fear and uneasiness, the night came very willfully.
Ye Ran spit out the blades of grass, breathing heavily, his fingers were numb from the cold rain, he really wanted to find a dry place to take off the wet clothes on his body, change into warm clothes, and then drink two sips of hot soup and eat a few large bowls of fragrant meals.
Such a simple wish has become an extravagant hope here!
The rain kept falling, and the heavens and the earth were dark.
Ye Ran stood in the dense grass, not knowing whether to go down or not, I heard that there was a swamp on the grassland, and if he accidentally fell down, he would definitely drown in the silt.
It's so uncomfortable to die like that!
can stay and rain overnight, it is estimated that it is enough to choke, and if you don't die, you will be seriously ill.
"It seems that no matter what I choose, it will not end well!" Ye Ran looked at the dark sky with a smile.
The corners of his eyes were a little moist, and the rain was sliding down his face, and he looked like he was crying.
"I haven't done anything hurtful, why should I be involved in such a thing!" Ye Ran choked and wiped his face.
"Made, I can't cry, grass!"
Having said that, Ye Ran still couldn't help crying, crying sadly, muttering and calling for his mother, hoping that someone would hear him and find him.
In the dark night, the rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, and a white and flawless full moon hung in the sky.
The wind gently blew away the fog, and Ye Ran stood on the grassland, looking into the distance in a daze.
Whew!!
There was a wolf howl, Ye Ran trembled with fright, and dragged his tired body to speed up and walk forward.
At this moment, he stepped on the air, Ye Ran was shocked, he didn't have time to react, his body fell forward uncontrollably, and he didn't even shout, like a small leather ball, rolling all the way down.
With a muffled sound, Ye Ran stopped, touched it, and felt like he had hit the armor.
Ye Ran retracted his hand suddenly, how could there be armor?
Slowly climbing up, Ye Ran, who was a little unsteady on his feet, looked up at the front by the moonlight.
"Ah!!h
Ye Ran was so frightened that he screamed twice, and hurriedly retreated continuously.
Rolling down that hillside just now, Ye Ran wanted to climb up again, because the scene in front of him was really terrifying!
Below the hillside, the meadow forms a very wide depression, in which there are several tents that can accommodate many people.
But none of that matters, the important thing is that there are people lying around outside the tent, or corpses, corpses everywhere!
Ye Ran took advantage of the white moonlight to look at the corpses all over the ground, and a strong smell of blood wafted in, stabbing his stomach and suddenly turning over the river, lying on the ground and vomiting.
I only felt that the bitter bile water seemed to be spit dry, Ye Ran covered his mouth and nose, breathed hard, sat on the ground, and looked at the dead corpses with a numb scalp.
"You play your sister's game so much, I just thought that there would be a girl who took a fancy to me, so I opened the broken box and went to your uncle!"
Ye Ran cursed in a low voice, his legs were scared and weak, and he couldn't stand up for a while.
"Save ...... I ......"
In the silence, suddenly there was a hoarse girl's voice.
Hiss!
Ye Ran was startled, it was really terrifying to suddenly hear this kind of sound in the middle of the night, let alone in this kind of place.
He hurriedly lay down and didn't dare to move, holding back the fear in his heart and looking around.
The girl's voice calling for help came again, intermittently sounding like a female ghost, so frightened that Ye Ran didn't dare to stand up, so he could only watch secretly.
In the middle of a corpse, there was a stump, and under the blur of blood, a woman hung from the stump.
She wore two braids, her hair was messy, and she wore an ancient dress with intertwined blouses, the fabric of which resembled cotton, as if it were finely sewn by hand, and the delicate wool was woven in small pieces, the colors of which ranged from black to red, to purple and blue.
Only by now they were soaking wet, and the hem of their skirts was dripping with water.
The moonlight reflected her pale and beautiful face, and the girl's lips moved slightly, making a weak and feeble cry for help.
Ye Ran raised his head and found that it was actually a person who called for help, not a ghost, and most of the fear in his heart was dispersed.
Look at the woman being hung on a stake, her toes barely touching the ground, what a cruel way to torture a woman, it is estimated that her wrists have been broken.
Although she was unlucky, she seemed to be worse than me.
Ye Ran thought about it, got up, stepped on the bloody water all over the ground, endured the nausea and discomfort in his heart, and walked under the stake step by step.
He raised his head to look at the miserable-looking girl, and asked with some fear, "Hey, are you still alive?" ”
Ye Ran was really afraid that she wouldn't answer herself, if that was the case, it would really be hell just now.
She struggled to raise her head, pursed her bloodless lips, opened her eyes, and looked at the man in front of her.
He was dressed in shabby, his hair was messy, his immature face was like that of a small child, his complexion was fair, his fine eyebrows were wrinkled, and he looked at himself nervously.
"Hey, are you still alive?" His voice was trembling and anxious, as if he was worried about himself, but not quite like that.
The girl looked at Ye Ran with wide eyes and nodded.
I've finally met a living person!
Ye Ran smiled at her, such a simple and satisfied smile, the girl had never seen it, and she was a little stunned for a while.
"You wait, I'll save you right away." Ye Ran turned around and came to the corpse, folded his hands and prayed, then bent down and picked up a short knife and walked over.
raised his hand to cut the rope, and the girl suddenly fell down like a broken kite, Ye Ran hurriedly threw away the short knife and hugged her.
Let her lean on her arms, Ye Ran glanced at her and said, "You bear with it, I'll help you cut the rope on your hand." ”
I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect that the short knife just now was extremely sharp, and it was easy to cut the rope.
The girl's wrist was strangled to a blur of flesh and blood, and she looked miserable.
She leaned on Ye Ran's chest and whispered hoarsely: "I have gold sore medicine in my arms, you can help me take it out and put it on my hands, and it will heal soon." ”
Ye Ran nodded, took out a small cloth bag from her arms, opened the cloth strip, and there was a small porcelain bottle inside.
Holding her in one hand and the porcelain bottle in the other, Ye Ran had no choice but to pull out the cork with her mouth, and the girl looked up at him, her pale face flushed slightly.
helped the girl apply gold sore medicine, and under her guidance, Ye Ran carried her to a tent.
After lighting the oil lamp, the dim tent suddenly brightened.
Ye Ran put her on a bed covered with sheepskin, felt her wet clothes, frowned, and said, "Aren't you uncomfortable wearing wet clothes?" ”
Nonsense, it must be uncomfortable, but at the moment she can't change it herself!
The girl lowered her head and didn't speak, just sat there, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ye Ran turned around and looked for me in the tent, and turned out a pile of firewood, a sticky but fragrant thing in a black tin can, and a roasted mutton that was not eaten.
When he came to the bed, he put down the firewood, lit a firewood, and put the tin can up and boiled it.
"Can you eat this?" Ye Ran looked up at her with a smile.
The girl also smiled, she smiled very shy and shy, her eyes were gentle like rippling water, as if she could melt people's hearts.
"Your eyes are so beautiful!" Ye Ran praised, and after speaking, he turned his head to tinker with firewood, making the fire burn a little stronger.
The girl looked at Ye Ran with wide eyes, she didn't understand how he could praise herself so directly, her expression was a little embarrassed, but she didn't say much.
"It's so cold on the prairie, and if you don't dry your wet clothes, you'll get sick." Ye Ran said to himself, took a piece of torn mutton in his hand, and roasted it over and over on the firewood.
"Don't you like talking?" Ye Ran looked back at her suspiciously.
The girl stared at Ye Ran quietly.
Ye Ran shrugged his shoulders and laughed dryly, took the barbecue and sniffed, "Eat some!" Ye Ran handed it to her and said.
The girl swallowed her saliva, obviously hungry, but she couldn't do it manually, and her body was very weak, so she could only roast the meat by Ye Ran and feed her.
Ye Ran fed her while eating the roast mutton by herself, her mouth was full of greasy, and she sighed very emotionally, "I didn't expect the roast mutton to be so delicious, but I haven't found it before, it's really a big loss." ”
There was no need, the girl rarely spoke, and there was a thick guard hidden in the depths of her gaze, because she didn't dare to trust the strange boy in front of her at all.
Ye Ran didn't see it, and even if he saw it, he didn't care.
The tin can is filled with goat's milk tea, which can be drunk when it is hot, Ye Ran poured several bowls of beauty, and also helped the girl feed two bowls, but she is not as good as Ye Ran, the girl showed a look of surprise on the side, seeing that Ye Ran was eating with a bulging belly, she was very suspicious that he would die of it.
After eating, the clothes on his body were also dried, Ye Ran added some more firewood, found a wool blanket and spread it on the ground, just lay on the wool blanket, and began to talk to himself again.
