The Corpse of the Boy in Red Chapter 1 Hongjia Town

Changing into casual clothes and bringing all the things we needed, we got into a canvas-covered truck at midnight and set out on the rugged mountain road to Daiji Town

Daisi Town is located at the end of the whole road, and then enter the south of Sichuan can only buy mules and rent horses, through the village and the countryside, along the way the second master is always in the excitement, either chatting with the guards around him or giving everyone a cigarette, and I wrapped my clothes and curled up in the corner, listening to his voice, my heart is full of melancholy.

If this mission is really a trap laid by someone, it doesn't matter if I break it, but the second master hits it for no reason, and I can't forgive myself even if I am a ghost.

In the early hours of the morning, the car was silent, one by one swaying left and right to doze, I was full of "31108721, 16536" these numbers, no clue, I thought of my headache, suddenly a sudden brake, everyone was thrown to the front, suddenly the car touched the gun, pulled the bolt, into a mess, only to hear the people in the cab shouted to the back: "Come down, can't go!" ”

Jumped out of the car only to find that due to the rain for several days, the mountain collapsed, the road in front has been washed away, at this time one side of the car is close to the mountain wall, the other side is only more than one person wide from the cliff, the driver scratched his head with a depressed face, squatted in the front of the car staring at the road of the collapse in a daze, the second master asked: "What can I do?" Is there a rut? ”

The driver stood up and said: "Back to the sir, you see that this road is only this car wide, and now it is stuck here, and there is no way to advance or retreat, there is really no rut at all, so I can only wait for dawn and find the people nearby to find a way." ”

"How long will that take?" ”

"If you look at the amount of work, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave in a day or two."

"How far is this from Daiji?" ”

"We've only been out for three or four hours, and it's normal to go to the Dai Temple, and it will take a whole day at the earliest." ”

After hearing this, the second master looked at me with a confused expression, I took the burden off the car, threw it to him and said, "There is no way, I can only go to the nearby farmers to see if I can rent some mules and horses, it is better than spending it here."

The second master nodded, and said to the guard squad leader: "You guys are waiting for rescue here, you must pay attention to safety, remember, ask for help from ordinary people, you should give money, don't be like bandits, you know?" ”

The squad leader stood up and saluted and said, "Yes!" ”

According to the map, over the mountain in front of them, there is a place called Hongjia Town, the town is located in the mountains, it doesn't seem to be very big, and they identified the direction, and the two climbed up the mountain with their hands and feet, and came to Hongjia Town.

At this time, the rain has stopped, a thick white fog rises in the mountains and forests, the trees and strange stones a few meters away looming, there are bursts of birds and insects in the ears from time to time, the clothes on the body are completely soaked with dew and mist, the thin mud under the feet stirs the fresh grass and rotten leaves, it is very difficult to walk step by step, not far, the feet have been wrapped in a thick layer of mud, it seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and the shoes that fall fall off step by step.

The two of them were panting and sweating profusely along the way, until the sun rose and the fog gradually dispersed, and the second master really couldn't walk, so he sat down on a big rock and shouted: "Damn, what the hell is the place, it's so difficult to walk, I knew that it was better to wait for them to repair the road." ”

I rubbed my legs and sat next to him and said: "It's collapsed so big, I don't know when it will be repaired, besides, we also looked at the map, there are people around except for the small village under the mountain, that is, this Hongjia town is big, and the people in the guard class must go to the nearest village under the mountain to call people, the village is afraid that there are no more than ten strong laborers who can work, and when they repair the road, it is estimated that half a month has passed." ”

The two took a sip of water, gasped for breath, and continued on the road, but they couldn't walk a cigarette, and the second master behind him said "hey", I looked back, only to see him staring at the ground under his feet in a daze, I walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He looked at me with a frightened look on his face and said, "Xiaofeng, we seem to be lost." ”

When I looked at the ground, my heart immediately became half cold, and there were a few messy footprints on the muddy floor, and there was no doubt that the texture was our shoes, and suddenly the two of them stared at each other and no one could speak.

Getting lost in this kind of deep mountain forest is very deadly, and it is obvious that we are always in the same place in circles, so it is a matter of time before we die of exhaustion, usually in this case there are two ways, one is to find the flow of water, such as a stream, a river, etc., follow the flow of water, and the other is to identify the direction according to the sun, but the mountains here are dense and dense, that is, there is no sound of water, and there is no way to find the exact position of the sun from the gaps in the leaves that cover the sky.

Fortunately, the two of them are also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they settled down to return the same way, found the stone that had just rested, and sat on it to discuss countermeasures, and the second master proposed to take a knife on each passing tree, and bypass the tree when he saw a knife mark, so as to avoid going back, I tried it, and this trick really worked at the beginning, and I didn't see a tree with a knife mark for about an hour, but just when we thought that victory was in sight, we suddenly saw a tree with neat knife marks carved behind it, and only then did I know that this trick was not only useless, Instead, it went around in a bigger circle.

When I saw the stone again, it was noon, we were already struggling, and it was difficult to even open our mouths to speak, throwing the knife in our hands and the bag on our bodies aside, slumping on the stone and panting, my legs and stomach were constantly trembling, the second master's kettle had already dried up, and mine was only half a pot, and the second master asked me: "You say, do you have any other tricks?" ”

I shook my head and couldn't speak, he watched me slowly take out the gun from my waist, I nodded, he pulled the gun and loaded it into the sky and fired three shots in a row, the sound of the gun continued to echo in the sky over the mountains and forests, startling countless birds, about a cigarette time, the last three bullets in the magazine were shot again, after a while, I saw that he didn't even bother to change the magazine, I pulled out the gun, and was about to load, when suddenly a person jumped out of the grass behind the stone, shouting: "Don't move!" ”

I was just about to turn the muzzle of the gun, when suddenly four or five people stood up from front to back, left and right, all dressed in sacks full of weeds, wearing grass rings, with black pots painted on their faces, holding clay guns, spears, and big knives, followed by a dozen more than a dozen people, all like straw men, with black faces, and two eyes shining with murderous light like wolves.

At this time, the man behind the stone turned to the front, took the earthen gun, unloaded our gun, handed it to the person behind him, and said viciously, "Who are you?" ”

It seems that this kid is the head of this gang, I am afraid that the second master will lose the first to say that he will say too much: "Big brother, we are doing small business, passing by here, getting lost, I have no choice but to let go of the gun for help, and I hope that the eldest brother will bring a way to live." ”

"Doing business? Hmph, I don't think you two are good people, say! Did you two kill the child? ”

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, thinking that it was a group of thieves who robbed homes and houses, blocking the road and robbing them, but listening to this tone, nine times out of ten it is the security team in a nearby town, and it seems that there are homicides, if this is the case, then this is troublesome, in order to hide our identity, this time we came out without any documents, this poor and remote country, people and land are unfamiliar, if it is really a lawsuit for human life, it is really indefensible.

The second master was also anxious when he heard this, his hands clenched into fists, and his feet began to be lucky, I quickly pressed him with my hands, signaled not to act rashly, and hurriedly took out five oceans from his pocket, held them in front of this good-looking boy with both hands, and said with a smile: "Big brother, we really just arrived at Guibao Land, you see that this is the payment that has just been received, do you check it?" ”

As soon as this kid saw the money, he hurriedly took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, snatched them, blew them one by one and put them in his ears to listen, and after listening to them, he looked at me like a peach blossom, I hurriedly coughed, and glanced behind him, he immediately turned his head and said to his brothers: "These money are all fake, I will confiscate them now, confiscate them, and bring these two people back!" ”

A man ran next to him and asked with a big tongue: "Captain, tie it up or not?" ”

The captain looked back at me with a wicked smile and asked, "You can't run, huh?" ”

I hurriedly nodded.

He turned back to the man and said, "If they want to run, they won't shoot in the air, you idiot, quick, take away!" ”

My second master and I were sandwiched between them, and when we walked out of the mountains and forests and saw Hongjia Town, we knew that we had been around the town on the edge, and when I saw the knife marks on a big tree that was only a few dozen steps away from the houses in the town, I couldn't help but feel that this forest and the town in front of me were not as simple as I imagined.
