The Sacred Spring Chapter 18: The Funeral of the Savage (3)
The fat man gave me a thumbs up, patted the bald shoulder, and then slowly withdrew from the woods with Qin Siyan and Wang Shao. The leaves creaked and creaked, and I watched nervously at the savages on the riverbank, lest they find themselves intruded on their territory. The distance from our creeping woods to the embankment was no more than three or four hundred meters. I could almost feel the heat of the campfire as I hid in the grass. I glanced back, Wang Shao and Qin Siyan had disappeared from my line of sight one after another, and the fat man beckoned to me, indicating that he was also withdrawing. I nodded and urged him to leave, when there was a thunderous cheer on the embankment, and I hurriedly picked up my rifle and aimed it at the opposite side, but through the sight, I saw an Asian woman in tropical overalls being dragged out from behind the rocky hill on the shore by several fierce savages. She was grabbed by the collar and struggled, her hands tied behind her back, and she squatted on the ground with all her might, refusing to follow the wild man. The woman's strength was so great that it took a few savages to carry her to the campfire. When the surrounding savages saw her, they all showed angry expressions, and several children bared their teeth at her, and occasionally stoned her. Although the woman had a hard face, she was hit in the face by several pebbles in a row, and blood had begun to form on her head.
The fat man was already about to withdraw, but when he heard the movement, he turned back, and he also saw this terrible scene, and he opened the bumper and was about to shoot. Bald Scoop pulled his trigger: "This has nothing to do with us, if you shoot now, not only will you not be able to save her, but you will also put us all in-
The fat man pushed away the bald scoop and began to aim: "Fuck you, it's a man who will do it with Lao Tzu, I'll **, see how Lao Tzu cleans up these grandsons-
The bald scoop asked me to quickly persuade the fat man not to be rash, I said I'm sorry Brother Liu, in this matter, I am resolutely on my brother's side, we can't do it if we don't save it. I said to the fat man, "Keep an eye on their leader, and I'll rush over as soon as the gun goes off, and when the time comes, be sure to cover me with fire-
The fat man said: "Okay, this time the buddies won't compete with you for the first prize, you go and come back quickly, other people's daughters are suffering!" -
The bald scoop punched the ground hard and said to me, "You can't go alone. There are too many of them, I'll rush with you-
I was just about to praise him twice, but the fat man had already recklessly lit up the guy with a bang, but unfortunately the crosshair was too poor to hit the leader of the savages. The savages on the banks of the river were terrified by the sound of gunfire, men screamed and brandished stone weapons and slashed into the air, and women dragged their children into hiding. Seeing the opportunity, the bald scoop and I jumped to our feet, snatching the semi-automatic Walter in one hand and the military dagger in the other, and rushed down the river beach.
The savage, who was originally frightened by the sudden gunshot, was not so scared when he saw that there were people hiding in the woods at this moment. Once they were sure that the enemy was also human, and not a mysterious, unpredictable god, they immediately regained their sense of battle. A dozen or so stout savages rushed up at us, raising their spears and stone axes. We were on the run, and it was very difficult to aim, and I fired a few shots, but I didn't have the right head at all, and seeing that I was about to encounter the savages, I simply put Val on the belt of my trousers and replaced the dagger with one hand.
The leader of the savages lost face because of the shot just now, and at this moment he was angry and smashed a huge stone axe straight at me. I had suffered from this heavy weapon before, and now I didn't dare to fight hard, so I turned sideways and made a block with my dagger, avoiding a frontal attack from a distance. Bald Scoop has been a bodyguard for the boss of the Chamber of Commerce for most of his life, he has rich experience in encountering enemies, and his skills are naturally much more beautiful than me, he holds a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, and walks back and forth among the large group of savages, his movements are crisp and neat, and in the blink of an eye he has killed near the bonfire.
In order to make it easier for him to save people, the burden of attracting the attention of the other party fell on my shoulders, and I tried to focus their attention on me by learning their voices while whirling and shouting in the voice of the wild man. I didn't expect this trick to really work, and the wild people who had gathered near the campfire heard my shouts and ran towards me. In order to create a gap in time for the bald scoop, I spread my feet and ran around the river beach while firing my gun, and when the savages saw me, it was as if they had seen some novel prey, and chased after me with all their might. As I tried to go around in circles, I prayed in my heart that the movements of the bald scoop's hands would be faster, or else my little life would be upside down before he could save people.
I was running with great energy, my feet suddenly sank, I don't know what I tripped, the whole person lost my center of gravity, fell hard, the jagged stones on the river bank suddenly scraped my flesh and blood, and the gun in my hand flew out in an instant. Looking down, it turned out to be a wild man's homemade tripwire, a thrower made of two round stones and a short rope, which I had seen in the museum, and Shirley Young said that it was a strategic weapon used by Indians to catch their prey and prevent it from escaping. In ancient China, there were similar throwers. This weapon is very suitable for use in the plains of a horse and a flat river, and it is extremely powerful when combined with the cavalry charge. I can't imagine that I, a civilized person with a modern firearm, are actually planted in the hands of cold weapons that have been stored thousands of years ago. My feet were tied together with the dropper, and I couldn't even climb up, let alone run. I had to move back with my butt and cut the rope with a dagger. I don't know what the rope on the thrower is made of, it's so thick and tough that even the military dagger made of stainless steel can't pick it up.
The wildlings who were following my ass laughed proudly when they saw that I had been caught, and shouted with their spears raised in both hands, and the leader of the wildlings in the lead turned back to shout at his men, and then ran towards me with bare feet.
I saw that there were only about ten steps left between the two of them, and I couldn't help but shout: "Fatty, shoot quickly, buddy is going to suffer-
There was a rustling sound in the bushes, and I only heard the fat man shouting: "** Fucking old bastard, what kind of second-hand goods are you giving to your master, I'm here to save you!" -
As soon as the words fell, a white and chubby figure suddenly pounced out of the woods, and the leader of the wild man was so pounced by him that he almost knocked out all his internal organs. I hurriedly rolled to the side and struggled to unhook the dropper. I said why the fat man hid in the woods and didn't give us cover, it turned out that the rifle was jammed. No wonder he hasn't moved, probably because he was forced to be in a hurry, so he dropped the gun and bypassed it directly.
The situation on the bald side's side was not optimistic, and before he could get close to the woman on the ground, he was discovered by the wild men guarding the corpse. At this moment, with one enemy and ten, it can be said that the enemy is on the back of the abdomen. The woman was knocked unconscious by the stone before, but now when she opened her eyes, she immediately shouted in Chinese: "Gun!" -
