The Battle of Longchang Chapter 16 The Walking Corpse of the Mountains and Forests
Yang Wancai and Zhu Shuangquan were already waiting inside, as soon as they saw us coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet each other, even Zhu Shuangquan was full of spring breeze, clasping his fists, if this kind of hypocritical occasion was changed to usual, I would have found a corner to shrink in, but today is different, they feel that they are sure to win, and we are also prepared here, a little later, when the big drama opens, who lives and who dies is not certain.
The second master and I also smiled, hugged the fist and returned the salute, the four of them sat down, there was no table, and a few large stones were placed on the marching bed, and two Maza were placed on each side, the legendary game should not have been hit, but the jerky, preserved meat, rice wine, and liquor were also full of a bed, Yang Wancai also emphasized that someone had been sent to Yuanmei to eat, and it was by no means worse than these.
The two parties began to push the cup and change the lamp with their own thoughts, after three rounds of wine, and five flavors of food, Zhu Shuangquan blushed, squinted his eyes and asked: "Hey, I said Lei Dangjia, did you bring that ancient jade with you?" ”
I laughed and said, "What? Brother Zhu, you can't trust your little brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and drink for nothing in your place? ”
As soon as he heard that there was a thorn in my words, he didn't want to say anything, so he picked up the wine bowl awkwardly, grinned and said, "I'm just curious, curious, come, drink, drink." ”
Putting down the wine bowl, I took the opportunity to ask Yang Wancai: "Brother Yang, the younger brother has something unclear, do you want this ancient jade to be collected?" Or do you want to make a move? ”
Yang Wancai looked at Zhu Shuangquan, pondered for a moment and said: "Hey, don't hide it from Lei Dang, this thing has great significance to our Li family, so we came to look for it, not for collection, let alone for sale, it is completely to revive the prestige of the Li family and restore the prestige of the Li family, and I dare not have a little selfishness." ”
Zhu Shuangquan hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I will never dare to be selfish", after speaking, he glanced at Yang Wancai with a smart look that was still your kid, Yang Wancai picked up the wine bowl to cover his face, and pretended not to see it.
The second master excused himself to go to the thatched house, stood up and walked out of the tent, and walked back slowly after a cup of tea, and as soon as he sat down, he said: "The mountain is quite lively this night." ”
Neither of them took it seriously, nodded casually, I glanced at him, he shook his head and took the wine bowl and drank it all, and then said: "Shopkeeper Yang, how did I hear that your ancient jade is going to be sold to Nanyang?" It is said that this Nanyang man is very good at business, so you should be careful not to be deceived. ”
"Who! Who said that, see if I don't tear his mouth" When Yang Wancai heard this, his face instantly turned red, and he shouted with a white face, and Zhu Shuangquan's face next to him also sank.
"Look at you, what's the hurry, I'm not kind enough to be afraid that you will be deceived, we also received your three little yellow croakers, and we will definitely pay them when it is time to deliver them. The second master's words were like steel needles, piercing Yang Wancai's heart one by one, blocking him speechless.
"Tell me, who said that!" Zhu Shuangquan saw that Yang Wancai was speechless, so he stood up and pointed at the second master and asked.
"Okay, Brother Zhu, remember to talk quietly outside the tent next time, that thing is just a layer of cloth, not soundproof." I said teasingly as I chewed on the jerky.
Zhu Shuangquan's hands trembled, and without saying a word, he directly lifted a stone slab, and shouted: "Someone! ”
Even shouted a few times, but no one came in, the second master hugged his arms and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Zhu, go out and have a look, it's lively outside." ”
Zhu Shuangquan and Yang Wancai heard this, and hurriedly walked out, I and the second master dragged the gun out, and walked out after him, only to see piles of torches lit outside, the two of them were mixed together, fan-shaped, standing more than ten steps away from the tent, holding a gun, facing the woods, Zhu Shuangquan angrily walked behind a guy, grabbed his shoulders and straightened him over and asked, "Deaf?" What the are you doing?!"
The fellow pointed to the woods with some trembling and said, "Master, trees, trees, trees, in the woods, there is, there is movement." ”
"What's going on?" Haven't seen a forest before? What is the movement that scares you like this! He also wanted to say, a guy next to him turned his head and shouted at him, made him angry, untied the belt from his waist, and was about to pull it down when it was round, but the belt raised high was fixed in mid-air, and it did not fall for half a day, in the silent mountain forest, in addition to the slight sound of the wind, there was also a low roar like an animal and the sound of plucking branches, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of blood wafting in the air.
Yang Wancai saw that Zhu Shuangquan was also stunned, and hurriedly walked up, standing outside the tent at this time, there were only two of us left, the second master pulled my clothes, the two of them turned around, and walked quickly towards Yuanmei's tent.
Yuanmei's tent lit a small candle, she saw us coming, nodded with relief, and then looked at the door in a panic, the second master comforted: "Don't worry, they watched the excitement, and they couldn't come back for a while." ”
I snorted coldly and said, "It's a moment and a half, and I don't think I'll be able to come back in this life." ”
Yuanmei blurted out in a panic: "Ah".
I found that since Yuanmei was paralyzed, her whole person has undergone tremendous changes, becoming timid, sensitive, and weak, as if she suddenly changed from a wise and brave, dictatorial female bandit to a little girl who needs to be taken care of all the time, especially in front of the two of us, of course, it may also be in front of the second master.
Thinking about this, I can't help but wonder, when did these two people start? Why didn't I notice it at all?
The second master untied the long cloth belt around his waist, put Yuanmei on his back, and tied the two firmly together with the cloth belt, this is in case he will move his hands and fall her, clean up, I opened the curtain, and found that they were still looking into the woods, and hurriedly took the lead to come out, because they blocked the path, the three of them had to come to the back of the tent, intending to go around from the woods to the place where Zhang Danian put his horses.
But before the three of them entered the woods, they heard a burst of dense gunfire from Zhu Shuangquan's side, and at any time there was a scream and a low roar of non-human and non-beast, and the three of them hurriedly hid in the shadows behind the tent, although they knew that there would be such a scene, but they really came, and they still couldn't suppress the panic in their hearts, and their minds were full of black-haired old zombies and Huazi who bitten everyone in the base, and I asked the second master in a low voice: "Coming?" ”
He nodded with a serious expression, I wanted to see it, but he shouted in a low voice, "Let's go, why don't you see this thing." ”
After finishing speaking, he picked up Yuanmei and rushed directly into the woods on the side, I grabbed him, and he said impatiently: "What are you doing!" ”
"Shh
The second master and I opened the safety of the box cannon, squinted our eyes, and stared at the dark woods in front of us, and the gunshots behind us are getting closer and closer, but they are also getting more and more sparse, I don't know who it is, I hurriedly threw the torch out, impartially, and it was falling on the tent of Yang Wancai who had just eaten, and the flames jumped up, because our position was behind the tent, and the flames were in front, the fire could not shine here for a while, but the occasional flames, like fireworks, flashed the woods in front of us.
A firelight flashed, not far from behind the tree slowly walked out of a Japanese soldier in military uniform, we saw him at the same time, he also saw us, only to hear a hissing sound in his throat, the fire was fleeting, the moment the light went out, I saw him striding towards us, before I could react, the second master's gun had already sounded.
The second master's marksmanship has always been very accurate, although it was only a quick glance, he still remembered the approximate position of the Japanese soldier's head, and when he shot it, he saw a dazzling white light more than ten meters in front of him, followed by a sharp metal impact, and then heard the second master shout: "Damn, steel helmet, run!" ”
He was like a pack horse, carrying Yuanmei on his back and turning around and running towards the camp, I walked behind and shot at the approximate position to cover them, the Huazi incident came to the conclusion that against this so-called walking corpse, only hitting the head will work, hitting other parts is like scratching the boot, it is meaningless, but at that time, no one thought of what to do when encountering a walking corpse wearing a steel helmet, I scolded angrily while shooting: "Which steel helmet is worn by a good walking corpse, it's really fucking not authentic." ”
Going around to the front, because of the burning tents and piles of torches, the vision is much clearer, at this time the scene in front of me is not an exaggeration to describe the hell on earth, there is a corpse lying on the ground with an indistinguishable face, without exception, each corpse is incomplete, disemboweled, missing limbs and broken arms, and not far from the corpse is scattered with pools of bloody and blurred fragments, it is impossible to distinguish which part it is.
And a few walking corpses wearing steel helmets and military uniforms are still rushing towards the few living people, and the only dozen or so people are crying and shouting while shooting at the walking corpses in vain, and it can be clearly seen from the trajectory of the tracer bullets that the bullets pass through the bodies of the walking corpses, only slightly slowing down the speed at which they pounce, but they can't "kill" them at all.
Yang Wancai was missing from the crowd, but Zhu Shuangquan could be seen sitting on the ground, looking at the scene in front of him without tears, at this time there was only life and death, how could there be a master and servant, with the rout of the defense line, Zhu Shuangquan was completely exposed, a walking corpse saw the opportunity to pounce, followed by the second corpse, the third, until he was overwhelmed by the walking corpse, Zhu Shuangquan did not make a sound from beginning to end, as if he had died a long time ago.
People took advantage of the moment of calm he brought, turned around and ran towards the woods behind us, I looked at the second master, he ran to the side first, where I had already checked during the day, it was a low platform with a drop of about one person high, and then down the woods, but the platform was about three or four people high from the woods, which was not counting the height of the trees, it was impossible for people to jump down, I don't know what his plan was.
I saw him stand on the edge of the platform, and motioned for me to go down to the low floor first, and after I jumped down, I took him and Yuanmei, although we were extra careful, Yuanmei's hands were still scratched.
He stopped, untied the cloth belt, put down Yuanmei, and asked me to go down to the branch below along the cloth belt first, and then take Yuanmei down, I asked, "Then what do you do?" ”
"It's okay, I'm rough and thick-skinned, and I can't die if I fall." ”
I looked at the pitch-black woods below, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in my palms and said, "How thick can your skin be?" It's like a person falling to death down here, I'll pull the cloth strap on it, and you two go down. ”
"Don't be noisy, you can't drag me, hurry up!" ”
I couldn't resist him, so I had to nod in agreement, he lay on the ground, the cloth belt was tied to the box cannon, and the gun was stuck in a stone crack, he sat on the ground, kicked the ground with both feet, and firmly grasped the cloth belt with both hands, the barrel of the box cannon was too thin, and the rock here was crispy and brittle, and it would shatter when touched.
I slid down the cloth belt slowly and slowly, although the sound of the whirring wind sounded in my ears from time to time, I could still hear the sound of the second master's teeth chattering.
When he arrived at the end of the cloth belt, his feet could barely reach the branch at the top of a tree, thinking that the physical strength of the second master above might have reached the limit, so he simply let go and jumped, and fell all the way down, even if there were branches to slow down the force, when he landed, he was still falling with gold stars, and his clothes were also hung into strips of rags, so he hurriedly climbed up again, and found a branch that was closest to the top, and relatively thick to ride on, and only waited for a moment to see Yuanmei slowly falling.
I picked her up, the two of them sat on the branches, the gunfire on it had completely subsided, I was afraid that there were no living people in the camp, and the two of them couldn't help but sweat for the second master, but this damn person, dead or alive, I didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of attracting the walking corpse, and causing him to be killed.
I waited anxiously for nearly a meal before I heard a shout from above: "Be careful of smashing." Then, a huge black shadow fell, I hugged Yuanmei tightly, trying to make her sit firmly, the second master fell heavily on the branch, and fell all the way down, the whole tree began to shake violently, we were like two leaves on the tree, swinging back and forth, crumbling.
Listening to the popping sound under the tree, I shouted softly: "Second master, second master!" You okay? ”
"Oh, my waist, it's okay, it's still alive, come down." Listening to his voice, it shouldn't be a big deal, the heart hanging in my throat finally fell back into my stomach, I picked up Yuanmei on my back and slowly climbed down, the second master seemed to have fallen to his waist, grinning and bending over, I could only replace Yuanmei on my back, roughly identified the direction, and ran towards the position of the path.
It is by no means easy to run in the undulating mountains with people on his back, and there are waist-deep weeds under his feet, so he can only stumble and run as fast as possible, and the second master on the side keeps urging: "Hurry!" Fast! Seeing that he was in such a hurry, I held my breath and pricked up my ears to listen to the movements around me, and sure enough, there was a slight "rustling" footsteps behind me, and I gritted my teeth and said, "It's really tight to chase." ”
The second master shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!" ”
Fortunately, we set off from the cliff is equivalent to a shortcut, and after a while I heard the sound of a horse snorting in front of us, the three of them were overjoyed, and the feet sped up a little faster, to the side of the horse, loosened the reins, first helped Yuanmei up, the second master and her rode a horse, I rode another, by the bright moonlight to identify the road, whipped the horse, galloped down the mountain.
