Chapter 1: Escape from Death
In the early spring of February, in the desolate and vast snowy field of Feilong Pass in the north of Dafeng, a girl with a bloody head fell to the ground motionless, and a yellow dog with a thin green light in her eyes was spinning restlessly beside her, and several times she wanted to go forward to lick the blood and eat meat, but she was stopped by a few half-sized children on the side.
A half-grown man with missing front teeth squatted down and put his hand in front of the girl's nose, and it took a long time for him to whisper in a trembling voice: "She's dead." He looked up, and there was nothing to see on his yellow, thin face but horror, "What to do?" What if what she said was true? ”
Another half-sized man with a scar on his face leaned on a bloody stick and said coldly, "Just because what she said may be true, we can't keep her." The prefect of the county order to destroy the family, if she is let go back, she will definitely not give up, we are beaten in a small matter, if the father and brother in the family are involved in desertion, we will not live. ”
The criminal law of the Dafeng Dynasty is strict, and it is a big crime for the people to evade service, not to mention that his father and brother are fleeing from military service, and once they are caught, they have to shed their skin, and a family is basically destroyed. Despite this, in the end, it was a human life, and several people were afraid in their hearts, but no one could refute it, let alone know what to do.
The scarface boy froze and put on a look of indifference: "It's too late to regret and be scared when everyone dies, anyway, you are also an accomplice, no one can escape, just dig a pit together and bury her." Her cotton clothes and skirts are thick, she can be stripped for her family to wear, and the golden cloves on her ears can also be exchanged for some food, and she can probably survive this season by saving some......" He squatted down and turned over the girl who was prostrate on the ground, probed the girl's snort again, and confirmed that the girl was really dead, so he was ready to pick the two small golden lilacs on the girl's ears.
At this moment, the girl's closed eyes suddenly opened, and her dark eyes stared straight at the scar-faced boy with a bit of sadness and coldness. Rao is scar-faced boy is bold, and he was so frightened by this lifeless and terrible eyes that he suddenly withdrew his hand, and sat on the ground again.
"Mom! Cheated corpse! The kid with the missing front teeth shouted in fright, pulled the younger boy next to him, and turned around and ran.
"Don't run! What kind of deception, it's clear that it's not dead! Scarface turned pale, shrank back in a trembling voice, and grasped the stick he had just put down, ready to make up for the girl's head again.
Without waiting for him to move, a slender and white hand quickly grasped the stick firmly, and the girl who came back from the dead was amazingly strong, and her eyes were even more deadly silent, and she looked at the scarface boy expressionlessly and said, "Is this to Huangquan?" Why don't you see Meng Po? ”
Such an expression and tone are clearly not like a living person, but more like a demon asking for his life. No matter how bold Scarface Rao was, he couldn't help but tremble, let go of the stick and climbed back a few times with his hand, seeing that the girl had no further movements, he quickly stumbled up and fled into the distance.
The girl sat there stunned and looked around for a while, and said with a wry smile: "If you die, you can't wrap yourself in a broken mat in the bed, so you can throw your body into the wilderness?" What a wretch, grandfather, and I'm sorry for your old man's teachings. Speaking of this, she looked down at her hands and the clothes on her body, looked incredulous, stunned for a moment, pinched her face, and then laughed, laughing with tears on her face: "Am I dreaming?" Is there such a good thing in the world? ”
When she had laughed enough, she was about to stand up, but she fell to the snow with a dizziness, her head throbbed and hurt, she touched her head with trembling hands, and then put her hand in front of her eyes to see the blood on her hands.
There was silence all around, and her body was already cold, and if she continued like this, even if those people just now didn't kill the carbine to take her life, she would have died in this wilderness due to blood or cold. The girl gritted her teeth, looked up at the dazzling white sun, discerned the direction, and crawled forward hand and foot, she didn't believe that she was here to die again!
Soon after the girl climbed, she was dizzy, her hands and feet cramped, her whole body was weak and cold, and she no longer had the strength to move forward. She sighed, curled up on the ground and shouted, "Help! Help me! ”
All she answered was the whirring of the wind.
The wind blows on the face like a knife, and the cold wind is blowing, isn't it going to snow again? The girl looked desperately at the overlapping mountains in the distance, and her face was unwilling. Suddenly something licked the back of her head, and then a hot breath with a fishy smell came over her face, and the girl was startled, and looked back at a scrawny yellow dog. Seeing her turn around, the yellow dog cautiously took two steps back, baring his teeth and letting out a low growl. At the moment of life and death, the girl didn't know where to get the strength, and suddenly sat up and stared at the yellow dog.
The man and the dog froze for a moment, sniffing the warm bloody breath, and the yellow dog was so hungry that he took a few steps forward restlessly, eager to tear off a piece of human flesh in order to satisfy his stomach. Finally, it couldn't bear it anymore, and with a "Ha'er" flashed out Sensen's white teeth and pounced on the girl, and the fishy saliva shook the girl's face. The girl screamed miserably, hugged the yellow dog's mouth with both hands, and at the same time inserted two thumbs into the yellow dog's eyes with all her might, and the whole person pounced on the yellow dog, and rolled in the snow with the yellow dog who was desperately struggling and screaming.
I don't know how long it took, the yellow dog finally stopped moving, and the girl retched for a while, trying to withdraw her hand, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm, so she could only collapse in the snow and look at the miserable blue sky in a daze.
The "squeak" sound of the soles of shoes stepping on the snow came from far and near, and the voices of others gradually became clear: "It seems to be over here." ”
The girl's eyes, which had been dimmed, gradually brightened, because of exhaustion and excessive blood loss, her vision had blurred, she could not see the appearance of the person who came, she only vaguely knew that there were two men and a woman, the woman was an older woman, the man was a young man, the other was a teenager, and they were all dressed properly. She shouted with all her might: "Help! "It's not much louder than a mosquito.
"Master, An Yi is here!" The boy let out an exclamation and ran briskly towards her, trying to break her hand, which was still firmly stuck in the dog's head: "You let go, I'll help you." ”
"Zhishan, be careful, she has a wound on her head." The woman also hurried over, her voice gentle and amiable, pure Beijing accent.
Hearing this familiar Beijing accent, the girl's eyes were sour, but she didn't dare to relax, and insisted on not letting her mind slacken: "Save me, I will repay you, don't let you save ...... in vain" After so many things, she couldn't believe that people would casually reach out to help strangers, and she could only make a promise before she could seize that little possibility. She really wants to live, she really wants to live, she still has so many unfulfilled wishes.
The snow-white sleeves of the young man named Zhishan carefully wiped the girl's face, and shouted urgently: "An Yi, An Yi, it's me, I'm Chen Zhishan." What happened to you? Do you recognize who I am? ”
It turned out to be an acquaintance, so it's easy to do! He also said that he was really unlucky, and he almost died in this snow when he opened his eyes. The new name is An Yi, the girl kept this name in mind, smiled at Chen Zhishan gratefully, couldn't support it anymore, tilted her head, and completely passed out in Chen Zhishan's arms.
Chen Zhishan looked at the woman at a loss and asked for help: "Master, how can this be good?" ”
"Let me see." The woman stepped forward to carefully examine An Yi's wounds, took out a delicate needle box, and inserted several silver needles of different lengths into the acupuncture points on An Yi's head and body in turn with skillful and swift movements, and said softly: "The bleeding has stopped for the time being, send it back quickly, the medicine may be able to save her life in time." Chen Xi, you come and take a hand, be careful. ”
The young man dressed as a subordinate answered, stepped forward and worked with Chen Zhishan to carefully help An Yi up and walk towards the nearest Changli County. The woman looked around and saw a half-old bamboo basket poured into the snow not far away, and there were many snow red scattered on the ground not long after they were picked. After that, he stepped forward and put Xue Lihong in the basket at will, lifted the basket and followed Chen Zhishan and the others.
Chen Zhishan saw the basket and wild vegetables in her hand, and then looked at An Yi, who was unconscious, and couldn't help sighing: "I've never seen such a family, and such weather still forces my daughter to come out to pick wild vegetables, or is it an official family...... If we hadn't met today, wouldn't An Yi have died in vain? ”
The woman frowned and said, "Don't say much, go faster, if you slow down, I'm afraid that her life will not be guaranteed." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhishan silently quickened his pace.
It was already afternoon when the group entered Changli County, and the woman looked at An Yi, who was unconscious, and the curious and inquiring appearance of the people around her, and told Chen Zhishan to go to the nearest tea shop to borrow a cart and quilt, so that An Yi could be sent home for treatment as soon as possible.
They were all acquaintances, and although the owner of the tea shop was very unhappy, he borrowed a car and a quilt, and asked the woman repeatedly: "Aunt Wu, is there any big problem with this Anda girl?" "If this person dies, his cart and quilt will not be completed, if you ask Anxian Cheng to compensate, this Anxian Cheng who came from the capital is a well-known poor ghost, but he is still an official, he doesn't have the courage to be crooked, but if he doesn't ask people to compensate, where can he afford tossing in his small business?
The woman known as Aunt Wu understood these twists and turns in her heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will compensate you for a new one." ”
The woman's surname is Wu Mingjing, is a famous doctor in Feilongguan, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has a magical acupuncture technique that can bring the dead back to life, save lives and help the weak, has always had an excellent reputation, saying that one is one and two is two, the tea shop owner listened to her assurance and put down his heart, and pretended to excuse himself: "Then where can it?" Your rejuvenation ......"
Wu Jing didn't have time to listen to his gossip, and when she saw that An Yi was settled, she ordered Chen Xi to push the car to the county office. After bypassing two streets, Wu Jing did not let the soap servant at the door enter to find An County, but led Chen Xi and Chen Zhishan to the west familiarly, and knocked on the door of a house on the street of the county government.
