Hu Fuxiang, the third mule, saw the sun and saw several rounds of blazing red and dazzling suns beating up and down! It was a group of suns—yes, a crowd of them, burning violently before his eyes, and lifting the blinding light, the boundless heat, and the fiery hope before him, and making him cry, shout, and laugh with joy.

The sun, his sun!

He could not open his eyes, nor did he dare to open them; He was afraid that it was a hallucination, and he was afraid that as soon as he opened his eyes, his sun would sink. But this was clearly not an illusion, he felt the powerful heat of the sun. His cheeks, his chest, and his palms all felt the heat, which caused a slight burning pain in his flesh; His eyes, accustomed to darkness, were clearly suffering from the intense stimulation of the sun, and when he closed his eyes, there was still a bright world in front of him, as if his eyelids had become somewhat transparent.

He put Cui Fuchun on his back into the ground, and muttered in a trance:

"Brother Cui, the sun! I saw the sun! Pack! ”

Cui Fuchun, who was lying on the ground, gasped for a while and spoke tremblingly:

"No...... It's not the sun, it's the ...... It's fire...... Be...... Fire ......"

Blaze? No...... No! No! The three mules didn't want to believe it anyway, he suppressed the wild beating of the heart in his chest and slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, there was no sun in front of him, and in front of him was an alley of fire burning violently! The sun in his eyes is a burning coal wall, a burning wooden shed leg, and a burning wooden beam!

No wonder it's a group of suns!

Something was wrong with his nerves, and he was mad with the long darkness, and when he walked out of the dark alley, he saw the light of the fire and took it for the sun.

He sat down next to Cui Fuchun, and suddenly felt exhausted, he lay down close to the ground as if he had scattered his muscles and bones, and the juice of life seemed to run out all at once, and he felt in a trance that his body was slowly drying and would eventually become a twisted dried salted fish.

It was then that he heard the sound of running water, the sound of running water like a plucked string, not far from where he was. He sat up with a "whew", eagle-like eyes greedily searching around, glancing—

He found a water tank!

Oh my God, not one drop, two drops of water, but a water tank!

The location of the water tank was on the edge of the alley three steps away from him, the water level in the water tank was very high, the drainage pump base by the water tank had been submerged, and there was water flowing into the water tank from time to time in the burning fire alley in front of him, and what he heard was the sound of running water from the fire alley.

He pounced, almost crawling like a dog; His head hit the casing of the pump, and he didn't feel any pain. He sank his head to the surface of the water and drank it desperately, as if to replace the dysfunctional pump, sucking the entire tank of water into his stomach.

He drank enough and drank enough, and then he remembered Cui Fuchun, and hurriedly crawled in front of Cui Fuchun, shaking his body and saying:

"Brother Cui, water! There's water here! ”

Without any reaction, Cui Fuchun fainted......

He put his wet hand under Cui Fuchun's nostrils, and faintly felt Cui Fuchun's faint breathing - Cui Fuchun was not dead, his heart was a little calmer. He climbed to the edge of the water silo again, peeled off the tattered and dirty coat on his body, and immersed it all in the water, and then, carrying the water-drenched coat, returned to Cui Fuchun's side, wrung out the water on the coat, and poured it on Cui Fuchun's face.

The groundwater is very cold, and Cui Fuchun is awakened:

"Water? Is it water? I...... I want to drink...... Drink ......"

"Good! Good! Brother Cui, you wait. ”

The three mules ran to the water silo again, soaked their coats in the water, hurriedly brought them over, and twisted the water into Cui Fuchun's mouth. Cui Fuchun first drank the water greedily, and then leaned out and bit a strand of cloth hanging on his mouth, chewing desperately, as if chewing a vegetable leaf and a piece of flesh. The three mules instinctively lifted the gown into the air, and with a "squeak", a piece of sleeve was torn off the gown......

Hunger!

The three mules immediately thought of these two terrible words! He was also hungry, and while groping in the dark, he stumbled upon two clusters of mushrooms, which he quietly ate alone.

He also ate rotten pit wood.

He didn't expect to eat the gown on his body!

If you think about it, the gown was originally edible, and the gown was made of cotton, which was spun from cotton; Cotton grows on the ground like whole grains, whole grains can be eaten, and cotton can also be eaten! In the early years, before the land was mined, the family planted cotton; The best snack he can remember is the fried cottonseeds, which are fragrant, shiny, and delicious! However, at that time, he never imagined that he would one day go to eat a gown......

Now, Cui Fuchun reminded him, and he also tore off a piece of cloth from his coat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it desperately. He thought, this is not bad, it is not bad, at least, the little coat will not cause a danger to his life, at least it is much safer than eating a gangue - a few years ago, there was a potter who was buried in a one-headed nest, and he died after eating a gangue......

His teeth seemed to have lost their former sharpness, and the cloth never chewed in his mouth, forcing his mouth to secrete a lot of saliva, and several times the ball of cloth was sent to his throat by his tongue and retracted......

He couldn't swallow it.

He changed his method and tore the cloth that was stuffed into his mouth very small and small, and he no longer chewed hard, but only symbolically chewed twice, and then swallowed it with the saliva in his mouth......

It worked, and he swallowed half of his shirt.

Cui Fuchun actually swallowed one sleeve of his coat.

"Brother Cui, let's ...... Gotta go! Otherwise, if we don't suffocate here, we ...... I'm going to starve to death here, too! ”

"Good! Walk...... Let's go! ”

The three mules bent down, helped Cui Fuchun up, and walked towards the fire alley, he decided that the main well was at the other end of the fire alley, as long as they could walk through this fire alley to reach the wellhead, their lives would be saved! But he didn't know how long this fire alley was and how big the fire was, he just wanted to try it with his survival instinct.

After less than ten steps towards the fire alley, he couldn't stand it anymore, he felt burning all over his body, and it was difficult to breathe, as if the wind in the alley no longer existed, and the gas emitted by the burning coal gang on the wall of the alley filled every inch of space. At first, he felt dizzy, and then, unable to support his body, he staggered and was about to fall.

He looked up at the alley of fire, only to realize that he hadn't yet entered the alley of fire, and the place where the fire was burning was at least a dozen steps away from him, but he couldn't get in! He had a premonition that as long as he walked into this alley of fire, he would never come out again, that the fire would burn him to death, and the gas would smoke him to death; Besides, there is another dying life by his side!

The fire in the alley burned so violently that most of the wood supporting the alleyway was burned, and all the coal on the coal gang and the shed was burned red, and the wind gushing out of the alleyway intensified the burning of the alley, and the alley of fire was like an endless hearth!

Yes, there is no end. At least the three mules didn't see the end of the alley, the flames and smoke in the alleyway obscured his vision, preventing him from peering down on how deep the alley was.

But he didn't give up, he put Cui Fuchun on the ground, wanting to take a risk alone, and he still had a trace of luck: maybe, maybe this fire alley is not deep!

In order to pass through this fire alley, he made some more preparations. He turned his head and came to the edge of the water tank, and soaked his whole body in the water for a while, and then, dipped the half of the coat that had not yet been eaten, covered his nose, and rushed towards the fire alley.

This time, he entered the fire alley, and he held his breath as he walked through the two sheds that were about to burn out, desperately glancing into the depths of the fire alley with his eyes wide open.

However, he didn't see anything clearly, and the fire alley seemed to have no end at all!

The suffocating gas and frenzied flames forced him to retreat. When he retreated to Cui Fuchun's side, he dragged Cui Fuchun away without a snort and dragged him all the way to the edge of the windy water warehouse.

He drank the water again, and then, wheezing violently, said to Cui Fuchun:

"Old Brother Cui, there's no hope! This...... This alley can't get through, so we have to touch it back and set up a ...... Try to get up the inclined shaft! ”

Cui Fuchun didn't respond.

The three mules took care of themselves again:

"It's a long way from here, maybe we'll starve to death on the road! But no matter what you say, we have to ...... again Earn more! If...... If only there was a lamp......"

Cui Fuchun hasn't responded yet.

The three mules leaned down and took a look, thinking that Cui Fuchun had fainted again, so they hurriedly drenched Cui Fuchun's face with water again, but unexpectedly, this time they didn't wake up.

Cui Fuchun is dead.

The three mules suddenly felt a chill, such a tenacious and stubborn life actually said that death was dead, and he had a feeling of being deceived. He had put so much energy and so much sweat into the existence of this life, which was a part of his own life, and how ruthless and unrighteous it was that he had deceived him, died without a sound, and left him alone in this dark underground! I knew he wouldn't live, he shouldn't have saved him at all! You shouldn't waste your precious energy on him at all!

It's a scam!

The road of life is full of such scams!

If he had hardened his heart and not taken Cui Fuchun on the road with him, and only treated him as a corpse, he would not have been deceived!

But it's also a good thing. Cui Fuchun is dead, he can comfort his conscience from now on, he can travel lightly, and he doesn't have to carry any moral burden on his shoulders.

He ripped off the half-torn pants on Cui Fuchun's body, crumpled them into a ball, sandwiched them under his hairy armpits, and staggered back along the black alley where he came......

But he got lost. In a small alley, he passed out.

The last time the meat was divided, the second animal became angry, and he found out again: the meat had been stolen!

It's conclusive. Second, no matter how stupid the animal is, it can be seen. The last time he divided the meat, he was puzzled and felt that the meat had been stolen, but he didn't say anything, he couldn't find any evidence, he ran the meat in his hand, and finally, with a long sigh, he didn't tell his suspicions. Not this time. This time, a small half of the meat was stolen, and two large strips of meat the size of a palm were torn off by someone, and there were wet marks from the fingers where they were torn.

"My day your ancestors, which bastard stole meat?"

"It's Foreman Hu!" The little rabbit screamed.

"Second brother, it was the little rabbit who stole it! It must have been stolen by a bunny! He walks behind you all the time! Hu Dezhai also shouted pitifully.

The second animal looked at the little rabbit and then at Hu Dezhai by the faint light, and did not speak for a long time.

"Second brother, it's really Foreman Hu!"

"Second brother, I'm ...... How dare I! Second brother...... Second brother, you can't believe this little thing! ”

The second animal's face was twisted and distorted by anger and pain, and his two eyes sunken in his sockets radiated a wolf-like fierce light, and his teeth chattered.

"Second brother, beat the foreman! Hit him! ”

"Second brother! Second brother......" Hu Dezhai knelt down and crawled on the ground, "Second brother, it's really not me!" ”

The second animal pounced and punched Hu Dezhai in the face, and the fist fell, and Hu Dezhai immediately screamed like a pig:

"Ouch, second brother, spare your life! Spare your life! ”

"Punch! Second brother, beat it hard! ”

The little rabbit viciously instigated to the side.

The second animal gave Hu Dezhai another punch, and after Hu Dezhai received this punch, he could no longer care about begging for mercy, and wailed like a beast, and rolled to the edge of the ditch on the side of the coal gang.

"Well beaten! Second brother, let's divide this bit of meat! The little rabbit leaned over to the second animal in a flattering manner.

The second animal slapped the rabbit in the face, staggered the little rabbit, and fell crookedly on the track in the middle of the roadway:

"**raised, you're not a thing!"

No one believed in the two animals. Reality finally made him understand, people, what is it? Man, this two-legged animal is a beast after all! Humans come out of the herd, and even after 10,000 years, they can't get rid of the nature of wild beasts, and when their lives are threatened, they will be more ferocious than any beast!

The second animal weighed the piece of meat in his hand, which was less than four taels, and thought about what to do with it. He thought: he should eat it himself, neither Little Rabbit nor Hu Dezhai has the right to eat it anymore, they have eaten enough! He didn't bully them, they provoked them themselves! But when I think about it, I feel that it is inappropriate. After all, this is the last bit of food, and in the future, they may never be able to eat anything again, maybe they will starve to death in this dark underground one by one, and they will die before him, because they have not eaten this last food; And with this piece of meat, he can maintain his life for a few more days......

It's so cruel, maybe they'll get out of this grave in a few days, maybe they'll be saved in a few days. If they starve to death because of this, it will be equivalent to him strangling two lives.

The second animal sighed, divided the spoiled piece of meat into three pieces on the blade of the axe, and then handed the largest piece to the little rabbit and threw the smallest piece to Hu Dezhai.

"Eat! After eating, let's starve to death together! He said viciously, and then ate in silence.

This surprised both Hu Dezhai and the little rabbit, and they looked at the two animals in a daze, and without saying anything grateful or remorseful, they hurriedly devoured them. The little rabbit sat on the railroad tracks and ate, and timidly peeked at the two animals while eating; Hu Dezhai simply lay on the edge of the ditch, leaning on the ground like a dog to eat, making "chirp" and "chirp" sounds while eating.

The meat had spoiled and smelled, the fibrous tissue was loose, and it was not a problem to chew, and in a short time, all three of them had eaten the meat in their hands.

They went on the road hand in hand again. Although they are suspicious of each other, hate each other, and wary of each other, they still have to survive together and find a way out of danger together.

Among the three of them, the second animal is the oldest, has been in the kiln for the longest time, and is the most familiar with the road under the kiln, so he has naturally become a leader with absolute authority. He led Hu Dezhai and the little rabbit through the alley, and in his senses, at least six or seven days had passed in this exploration, and if the feeling and experience had not deceived him, then they should have reached the alley near the main shaft, and it was not too far from the location of the mouth of the main shaft. If that were the case, they would not starve to death in this hell, and they would have climbed up the well, bypassing the burning area, approaching the mouth of the well, and for two or three days.

They no longer counted on the rescue of the people on the ground, and by the time they crawled over the corpses, they understood the magnitude of the catastrophe, and after a long period of anticipation and hope had turned into clouds of despair, they had learned that they could only be saved!

They stubbornly groped their way forward......

On this day, they met Hu Fuxiang, the third mule, in a branch alley of the main alley of Dajing; It was on this day that they found the life-saving horse.

The first to discover the three mules Hu Fuxiang was the little rabbit. At that time, the second animal in the front had already stepped on the body of the three mules and touched it—he thought it was another corpse, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. Unexpectedly, the little rabbit behind him exclaimed:

"Second brother, stop, someone! There are people underfoot! ”

When the little rabbit screamed, he clearly felt a large hand grabbing his leg.

Hu Dezhai, who was walking at the back, also shouted:

"Yes...... There's a living man! ”

The three of them stopped and lit the oil lamp again, and the second animal clearly saw that the third mule, Hu Fuxiang, was lying on his side on a dry cinder next to the leg of the shed, and the corners of his mouth twitched and wanted to say something.

"Three mules! It's three mules! Hu Dezhai exclaimed.

"With ...... Bring...... Take me! The faces of the three mules were distorted and distorted, and their voices were faint, like mosquitoes humming.

The three of them sat down around the three mules.

They have to decide how to arrange this dying life.

For a long, long time, the three of them did not say a word.

The three mules struggled to sit up, but the second animal stepped forward and helped him, allowing him to lean into his arms.

After a moment of silence, the second animal sighed and asked:

"How?"

The three mules sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and their eyes stared straight at Hu Dezhai, begging:

"Fourth uncle, bring ...... Take me with you...... I'm it! ”

Hu Dezhai, who was the fourth uncle of the three mules, didn't dare to look at the eyes of the three mules at all, and timidly turned his head to the side.

The attitude of the little rabbit is clear:

"Second brother, don't bring it! We can't take him, he's going to die anyway, we can't be dragged to death by him! ”

Tears welled up in the eyes of the three mules, and he ** said:

"I ...... I...... I have come down to save you......"

The second animal was stunned for a moment, and then asked Hu Dezhai:

"Foreman Hu, what do you say?"

Hu Dezhai thought for a while:

"I ...... I say...... I said no! I...... We can't carry him! ”

"Oh? You say the same thing? ”

The second animal let go of the three mules in his arms, stood up with the coal gang in his hand, and then dragged Hu Dezhai up from the ground:

"Squat, come, squat here!"

"II...... Second brother, what are you doing? ”

The second animal did not answer, stepped forward and hugged the three mules, pressed the body of the three mules to Hu Dezhai's back, and ordered in an irrefutable tone:

"Stand up and go!"

"Second brother, no! I...... I can't even walk myself! ”

The second animal stepped forward and slapped him, and after the beating, he scolded viciously:

"Bastard bastard, don't save him when he dies! What the fuck are you? His surname is Hu, he is a member of your Hu family, if you don't carry it, who will carry it? ”

"Second brother!"

"Carry it up—" The second animal kicked him twice more.

Hu Dezhai was helpless, struggling to stand up, but he really couldn't stand up. The second animal stepped forward to support the buttocks of the three mules and helped Hu Dezhai to stand up.

Lying on Hu Dezhai's shoulder, the three mules had tears in their eyes, and he also followed the example of Hu Dezhai and the little rabbit, and gratefully shouted "Second Brother" to the second animal.

The second animal patted the shoulder of the three mules and said:

"Brother Mule, with your second brother here, no one dares to get rid of you. Whoever dares to do evil, Lao Tzu will strangle him! Walk! ”

After walking less than ten steps, Hu Dezhai fell down with a "plop".

"Second brother, you ...... You strangled me...... I'm it! I...... I carry ...... I can't carry it! ”

The second animal had no choice but to carry it on its own. He asked Hu Dezhai to go to the front to explore the way, and let the little rabbit follow behind with the body of the three mules, and walked forward a hundred and ten steps.

At that moment, almost simultaneously, the four of them heard the neighing of horses in the dark alleyway ahead.

They stopped.

None of them could believe it was true.

"It's the horse barking!" The little rabbit was the first to cry out.

"It's a horse! It's a horse! Hu Dezhai was also delighted.

"You...... You've all heard you! The second animal still didn't believe it.

"I hear you! Listen, listen, second brother, it's called again, it's called again, second brother, maybe it's my big white horse! ”

Sure enough, the invisible horse hidden in the darkness neighed again, and the sound was clear and long, making the air in the alleyway tremble slightly.

Judging by the sound, the horse that survived was not far from them.

It's a miracle of life! After such a serious disaster in the entire mine, there was actually one horse that survived!

The second animal put down the three mules on his back, wiped the sweat on his forehead and face, his teeth chattered with excitement, his whole body trembled, and he said dreamily:

"Hit ...... Shoot it! Let's kill it! ”

The idea came to the minds of almost all four of them at the same time, even the three mules lying on the ground. At this moment, this horse is no longer a horse in their eyes, but a pile of meat, a pile of moving meat, a pile of meat that can satisfy hunger, and whether their life can be maintained for a period of time in the future will depend on the existence of this pile of meat!

"Hit! Beat! ”

"Quick! Take the axe and find ...... Find a stick! ”

"Stones are fine, use them to smash them!"

"I ...... I'm also coming with ...... You guys...... Let's fight! ”

The three mules lying on the ground staggered to their feet with the help of the coal gang—he was barely hurt, and was completely starved; He believed that as long as he could eat a full meal of horse meat, he would not die, and he would live! He just doesn't need to be carried or helped, and he can get out of here!

"Second brother, what's the way to play? You said! ”

Hu Dezhai took a wet and heavy plank from the coal gang and held it tightly in his hand, ready to fight to the death with the invisible horse.

The little rabbit also wanders around in the dark looking for weapons.

But the second animal did not speak. After the initial excitement had passed, it occurred to him that it was not easy to turn this live horse into horse meat in this dark underground. First of all, they did not know where the road in front of them led, and if it led to another lane, the horse would be frightened and run away, and the horse meat would not exist. In the second place, he doubted that the strength of the four of them would be able to deal with the living horse, which was now exhausted, and the horse seemed to be alive and well, and he could clearly feel a vigorous vitality from its neighing. Horses are different from people, horses can gnaw roadway wood in the well, eat the straw stacks that support the coal nest, and it lives much more easily than people.

This is something that needs to be taken seriously. Dealing with this energetic horse in such harsh conditions is no less than dealing with a ferocious tiger; If it doesn't work well, the horse goes crazy, and they risk being hit and trampled to death by it.

"Guys, don't mess around! Let's hold on! The second animal picked up the oil lamp, swept the fluttering oil lamp, lit the fire, and lit the lamp:

"There is only a little bit of lamp oil, and we are counting on picking up another oil pot on the road, we must be both stable and sharp!"

After meeting with Hu Dezhai, the second animal once found two oil lamps and a pack of foreign fires in the pile of corpses, which kept the flame of light until now.

"I think so, let's sneak closer to the horse, lead it as far as we can, take hold of the reins, and then move on to it. We can't do it now, that will scare the horses away! ”

"That's right! Second brother, you can't do it hard now, it's going to be over! Gotta try to hold on to the reins first! The little rabbit said.

"Foreman Hu, three mules, you two follow the rabbit, in case the horse runs out head-on, I will first quietly touch the back of the horse and cut off its back road." After speaking, the second animal handed the oil lamp in his hand to the little rabbit, and quickly touched the coal gang on the side of the roadway.

After the two animals had walked for a long time, the little rabbit walked forward with the lamp, and Hu Dezhai and the three mules followed closely behind.

As he got closer and closer, the little rabbit saw the horse by the light, a tall maroon horse, which was standing in terror on the railway track in the middle of the alley and flicking its front hooves, its white-spotted head facing the light of the oil lamp, and from time to time it spewed hot air from its nose, and the light obviously did not work well, it seemed to be unaccustomed to the light, and seemed to be afraid, and when the little rabbit was only ten paces away from it, it turned around and was ready to run back.

At this moment, the sound of steel hitting the wall of the alley sounded in the dark alleyway inside. Then the loud voice of the second animal sounded:

"I ...... I overturned a coal truck and blocked the road...... Blocked! Watch out there, don't let the horses run away from you! ”

Little Rabbit, Hu Dezhai and the three mules immediately became nervous, they really could not guarantee that the horses would not rush past them, they were almost barehanded, and they could not fight the horses that rushed in front of them. If the horses come rushing and they can't hold on to the reins that are dragging on the ground, the horses will have to run away.

In a hurry, the little rabbit said:

"Stop, don't go any further! Let's quickly find a way to block the road behind us! Fast! Foreman Hu, quickly think about the collapse of two sheds! ”

Good idea!

Hu Dezhai's eyes lit up, and he shoved the wet wood in his hand into the hands of the three mules:

"Look after the horses, I'll put the shed!"

After a violent explosion, most of the sheds in the alleyway were crooked, and Hu Dezhai did not take much effort to bring down the two crooked sheds, and a large pile of gangue and coal fell on the roof of the shed.

Both ends of the roadway were blocked, and fate decided that this red horse and these four dying people would have a desperate fight in this narrow living space of less than fifty meters!

The jujube red horse became alert.

Whether it was the loud rumbling sound of the shed collapsing, or the people who were slowly approaching it with oil lamps, it felt a real threat, and it ran a few steps towards the little rabbit, and when it saw that there was no way out in front of it, it turned nimbly and rushed towards the second animal.

The second animal, fearing that it would escape over the coal cart lying on the ground, climbed onto the coal cart at once, blocked the gap between the roof of the roadway and the coal cart with its body, and let out a terrifying roar like a beast in its mouth:

"Mouth, mouth, mouth!"

The red horse was frightened by the roar, and stopped only two or three paces away from the coal cart. It saw that the light that frightened it had not followed, and turned and ran back.

Seeing that the red horse turned around, the second animal breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly picked up the axe in his hand, and also cracked for a while, cutting down a shed hanging on the coal cart.

This time it was completely safe, even if the jujube red horse put on its wings, it would never want to fly out of this alleyway! The second animal believes that at least half of the jujube red horse has been turned into horse meat.

He was in no hurry, he felt that he and his companions had essentially mastered the fate of the horse; It's only a matter of time before it's killed and turned into horse meat entirely.

He decided to take a break.

He dragged his tired legs, staggered towards the little rabbit holding the lamp, and when he walked past the alert jujube red horse, the jujube red horse leaped and almost stepped over his head. He was taken aback, but didn't think much of it.

"That's it! Companion...... Guys, take a break! Enough rest, then ...... Hit the horse, it can't escape anyway! ”

All four of them sat down with the Coal Gang. They quietly discussed what to do with the horse in front of them. At this time, the residual oil in the lamp burned out, and the bean-sized flame on the wick struggled upwards a few times, and then turned from blazing yellow to light blue, and then completely extinguished.

This undoubtedly added difficulties to this upcoming battle of men and horses. Both sides are in the dark, unable to see each other, and it is extremely difficult to find targets and accurately hit them. In the darkness, man is bound to lose his advantage, for each of them cannot resist the onslaught of a horse by his own strength. They were hell-bent on turning this living horse into horse meat, and that horse could have turned the four of them into corpses as well! It can kill them, kick them, trample them!

It's going to be a tragic, tense fight!

They must mobilize all the experience of human life, concentrate all the wisdom accumulated in the process of human evolution, to carry out this desperate struggle, they must turn the horse in front of them into horse meat, and must not let this horse turn them into corpses!

However, the experience and wisdom of human life were of little use here, and they had fallen into a completely savage situation: there was only one axe among the four of them; They don't have the protection of light, they don't have the guarantee of life, they don't know what the outcome of the battle will be, but they have to do it, they have to fight! They have no choice but to survive!

Crazy thoughts made them savage, and time seemed to go back thousands or tens of thousands of years, and they were ready to carry out a barbarian era of slaughter for the right to live, just like their ancestors.

Under the leadership of the two animals, they all stood up, stood in a row hand in hand, completely blocked the entire alleyway, and then, cautiously touching forward, while touching, they listened attentively to the sound in front of them, and judged the location of the red horse.

The axe was firmly grasped in the hands of the second animal, and the hands of the second animal were so nervous that they were sweating, and Hu Dezhai beside him was also trembling, and there was a heavy and urgent gasp sound in his chest from time to time. The two of them walked in the middle of the lane, and if the horses rushed over, they would be in much greater danger than the little rabbit and the three mules walking on either side.

Five-step ......

Ten Steps......

Fifteen Steps......

When they had reached the fifteenth step, they all heard the wheezing of the horse, and judging by the sound, the horse was about ten paces away from them, and the two animals shouted:

"Hit!"

The little rabbit and the three mules holding the gangue in their hands immediately smashed the gangue out, and the second animal and Hu Dezhai also flashed to the side of the alley, randomly looking for some coal and gangue to throw inside.

There was a crackling sound.

Apparently a few pieces of gangue had struck the horse, and the horse neighed and jumped wildly in the alleyway, and then, like a gale, leaped past them, and its hind hooves grazed the little rabbit's shoulder, and nearly hit him in the head.

"The horse ran over, and ...... Quick, plug back! ”

The four of them turned around and touched back side by side.

Just as he was touching back, the throat of the second animal gurgled for a while, and then let out an eerie and terrifying monster-like cry:

"Mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mouth, ......"

This monstrous cry immediately infected the little rabbit, Hu Dezhai, and the three mules, and they all howled in unison:

"Mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mouth, ......"

The horse was startled, "stomped", and ran to the top of the alley, until it reached the end of the blocked alley, and then neighed as if demonstratively.

The two animals were still roaring, in a rhythm, rapid and powerful, and the sound coming from the chests of the four desperate men was far more terrible than the neighing of the horse!

The horse did not show weakness, and continued to neigh with all his might. When screaming, the two front hooves also hit the ground from time to time, making a "flutter, flutter" sound.

The stupid one immediately took the man's head, and it explained its location with its own cry.

The two cattle gradually lowered their roars, and quickly approached the horses, and then, each of them, clinging to the coal gang, found enough suitable gangue, and slammed it on the horse fiercely.

The horse was hit again. It screamed and jumped, and once again rushed to the other end of the alley against the rushing gangue.

Seven or eight rounds of the contest were carried out repeatedly, and the horse was blocked to the end of the roadway for a while, and then to the end of the roadway, and suffered at least a dozen gangue stones, but he was still energetic and showed no signs of being defeated, while the two animals were so tired that they could not fight until the end, and there was not much weight in throwing the gangue......

This is the sorrow of humanity. After tens of thousands of years of civilization and evolution, human beings have lost the ability to control in front of their own tamed animals, and they have become so weak and incompetent!

For a moment, the second animal was almost desperate, and he didn't even believe that they could kill the horse!

"Yes! Second brother! We can kill it! Hu Dezhai did not lose confidence at this time, he thought for a while and said, "I don't think I can fight like this!" We still have to use our brains and think of something else! ”

No one came up with a good idea.

Are you just waiting here to die? Can't four men deal with a horse? No! No way! Gotta fight! Even if four people fight to die two, it is better than starving to death underground!

The second animal fiercely slashed the axe into the leg of the wooden shed beside him, and suddenly stood up:

"Let's go, or hit ...... with gangue"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the sentence was finished, the shed leg that had been split with an axe shook, and several pieces of gangue fell, and one of them happened to hit Hu Dezhai's waist, and Hu Dezhai screamed.

This unexpected blow inspired Hu Dezhai. After Hu Dezhai screamed a few times, he staggered to his feet and said breathlessly:

"Second brother! Yes...... Pregnant...... Got an idea! We...... Why didn't we think of it earlier! ”

"What's the idea? Fast...... Say it! ”

"We can put it ...... Knock down a few sheds, cause a roof to rise, and smash the horse to death with a large falling gangue! ”

That's a good idea!

Once again, the four of them pulled themselves together and were ready to put this plan into action.

They rubbed the fire, found a few dangerous sheds at the end of the laneway, and emptied the few nests under the dangerous sheds, so that only half of the shed legs touched the ground, and they could be put down with a single poke.

This took them a lot of time and effort.

They began to roar and drive the horses from the other end of the roadway to this end. A horse is a horse after all, and it is far inferior to humans in terms of conspiracies, and it does not realize that a special trap has been laid at this end of the lane, and it just retreats honestly to the end of the lane, under two dangerous sheds.

Hu Dezhai was excited about the success of his idea, and in the darkness he snatched the axe from the hands of the second animal, and went to lay the shed.

The second animal ** spoke:

"Be careful!"

Hu Dezhai was silent, only a tempting pile of horse meat shrugged in front of him. He ran down the coal gang and touched the dangling leg in front of him, and chopped it down with an axe.

At the same time, a bunny on the other side of the alley poked the leg of a shed.

There was a loud bang, and coal ash and rock powder mixed with large and small gangue suddenly fell down. Hu Dezhai instinctively wanted to hide back, but unexpectedly, before his body could be withdrawn, a huge gangue fell down with a bang, he screamed, and his whole body was compacted by the huge gangue......

Hu Dezhai's screams were not heard by anyone, and the sound of falling gangue and the neighing of red horses drowned out his voice—naturally, at that moment, the hunters were more concerned about the prey in front of them.

Hu Dezhai died.

He died not from a simple ascension, but from the war, from the tragic decisive battle of men and horses!

Before his death, the foreman of the Hu family finally left a precious memory for his surviving companions, he was not just a foreman who could only beat people, nor was he just a beast who could only steal meat and eat; He was also a human being, a useful person, he left them a brilliant idea, and he made his own contribution to their future survival.

Those who are lucky enough to live should remember him......

But the horse did not die. Despite the severity of the roof, and despite the fact that its hind legs were almost completely crushed by the falling gangue, it was not dead! It still held its head high with pride, and let out a faint hiss coldly at the ruthless enemies who had created the plot.

The second animal drew a foreign fire, and saw its eyes through the gap in the falling shed beams, its eyes were wet, and its eyes reflected the light of the foreign fire, and it could not move at all.

They began to poke it with wood and smash it with gangue, and for a long time they tossed it, and the two animals estimated that it was almost dead, so they rowed a foreign fire and looked at it.

Its head was still high, the corner of one eye was bleeding, and the skin on its nose had been punctured, but it still spewed white heat......

Somehow, tears rolled out of the eyes of the second animal, he closed his eyes, and the hot tears flowed on his face covered with rock fly ash, and he trembled all over, and grabbed another piece of gangue and threw it at the horse's head......

The horse screamed heartbreakingly......

When the horse's screams finally subsided, the second animal rowed a third fire—

One of the horse's eyes had been smashed blind, and the broken eyeball had fallen out of its socket with scarlet blood, but it was alive! Its neck was stiff, and the green tendons on its neck were violent, trembling, and hot air was still spitting from its bleeding nostrils and mouth......

What a tenacious life!

The second animal and his companions were all stunned!

The second animal no longer let the little rabbit and the third mule smash it with gangue, he let the little rabbit shine on the fire, and he got into most of his body through the gap in the collapsed shed beam, and he stretched out his rough and trembling hand to stroke the horse's head and the horse's neck. His hand was so gentle, so affectionate, as if he was not stroking a horse about to breathe, but stroking his mischievous and stubborn son. At his touch, the horse's neck suddenly went limp, and its heavy, blood-stained head finally drooped......
