Leaving the hotel, we took a taxi to the city, first found a pharmacy, Meng Xing easily bought several trauma medicines, she quickly treated my wounds from the seat of the pharmacy. Sterilization and dressing - this is a compulsory course at the police academy, and she is a leader in wound management.

It was only a shallow cut that had no effect on the action.

When Meng Xing bandaged my wounds, he was silently crying. Seeing her emaciated body, I forgot the horror of the brush with death I had just passed, and my heart became sad.

Since I was with Meng Xing, everything that happened was tragic, and for the ordinary love full of joy and laughter, I brought her more sadness than happiness and romance.

Not only Meng Xing, but also my friends and relatives around me have suffered all kinds of misfortunes because of me. Thinking about the situation now and in the future, Zhang Shuai and the guards are at the end of their rope, and they can only take revenge with death.

Outside, the night is dark, my heart is as dark as the night, and I will face an unknown road full of terror, and the distant wildfires have stained the sky blood-red.

Thinking of all this, we are drenched in sweat - some ominous, we know that we will encounter, but we are powerless to change, we can only choose to face it, even if we will encounter death.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Meng Xing saw that I was sweating, so he touched my forehead and asked softly.

"No, I was in a hurry just now, and I was sweating, let's get out of here quickly." I said, holding her hand.

Meng Xing looked at me for a while, and said in disbelief: "You really don't have to go to the hospital?" ”

I stood up, took her hand, smiled and said, "It's all right, let's go." With that, I dragged her out.

After leaving the pharmacy and taking a taxi back to Cangyue Cliff, Meng Xing took me to transfer to three cars successively, made a few turns back and forth in the city laneway, and finally confirmed that no one was following, and let the taxi drive quickly in the direction of Cangyue Cliff.

Back at Cangyue Pavilion, Meng Xing packed up his things and said, "After tonight, we will go to see Su Jing tomorrow, and we will leave after reading." ”

I said, "Okay." ”

As she was packing up, I told her about seeing the guards today, and she said, "You're not mistaken, right? He is now a wanted criminal, and it is impossible for him to run so far to Chiang Na. ”

I said, "After seeing your uncle and Zhang Shuai at night, I am even more sure that the person is a guard, and they must have come to Qingluo together." ”

Meng Xing first lowered his head and thought for a while, then stopped packing his things and said: "I'll go out, you lock the door, don't open it except me, if a stranger knocks on the door, call the police immediately." ”

I asked her where she was going, and she said that she had to go to the public security bureau and report the situation to the local police, and that if the guards did come to Qingluo, they would have to find a way to arrest him, because the guards were wanted and a dangerous person, and they should be alerted to the police.

I said to accompany her, but she disagreed, saying, "They don't dare to touch me, but you are different, it is dangerous to be discovered." ”

After Meng woke up, I waited for her in my room nervously, but fortunately, she returned safely a few hours later.

That night, the moon was shining outside, but neither of us was in the mood to go out for a walk, so I went to bed early and lay down, and I held her all night in a half-asleep sleep.

At five o'clock the next morning, the two of us got up and checked out, and Meng Xing said that it was safe to go to Butterfly Town at this time, and it would not attract attention. She brought back two pairs of sunglasses when she went out last night, and we put them on and rode to Butterfly Town in a tricycle.

Butterfly Town is very close to Cangyue Cliff, probably less than five kilometers. We bought incense and flowers at the shop in the town and went to see Su Jing. Su Jing's cemetery is backed by a mountain, hidden in a bamboo forest, and only the river flows quietly on the side.

It is said that in the spring and summer, a large group of colorful butterflies will appear in this mountain forest, a group of butterflies will dance, will form a butterfly spring, spin, fly, gather and disperse, hence the name of butterfly town, Su Jing's cemetery is located in the center of the butterfly spring.

I didn't see the Butterfly Spring in the mountains and forests, but there were flocks of butterflies flying around, one of which was carrying several colors on its back and had a beautiful shape, and the huge butterfly even landed on Meng Xing's shoulder, fluttering beside her, and followed her all the way.

Meng Xing gave Su Jing incense, sat on the grass and talked to her, I wanted Su Xing to be quiet alone, so I walked out of the bamboo forest and came to the river.

Stand alone in the shade of a tree by the river and watch the sun float and flow on the surface of the river, shining brightly. The sun lay in the deep blue sky, scorching everything naked on the ground, and it would make you dizzy to stand in this light for less than a minute.

In the distance, illusionary steam rises from the surface of the river, the air greedily absorbs the nutrients from the underground, and the mist of smoke floats upwards like a swimming snake, making everything deformed, unreal, ethereal, like a ghost that has lost its soul, wandering in the void.

Occasionally, in a profuse sweat, I even saw someone staggering through the mist, and when I squinted my eyes and looked closely, there was nothing there.

I was still thinking about the guards I saw yesterday, and I was faintly worried that if I saw the guards and he even sneered at me, then I had to plan for the worst.

It was already afternoon when I left. The afternoon sun bakes this mountain forest, and the heat outside is unbearable. The two of us first went to a cold drink shop in the town to buy some local special iced fruit drinks, and in the sweltering heat, Meng Xing's eyes were lowered and he was a little sleepy. These days, she has been sleeping poorly, and coupled with what happened last night, she is in a very bad spirit.

This place is not only full of painful memories, but also full of dangers, and the nerves have to be tense all the time.

Meng Xing fell asleep leaning on my shoulder. I asked the shopkeeper to fan her with a paper fan, and from time to time tourists came in to buy water outside the store, passing through the hall with a wave of heat. The sun began to set in the west, and the sunlight stuck to the ground, and the white flowers pierced the eyes.

An hour later, Meng woke up in a panic, sweating profusely and asking me what time it was and how long she had been asleep. Looking at her appearance, I felt a little distressed, so I wiped her sweat and said, "I've only slept for less than an hour, let's sleep a little longer." ”

She looked up at the door and said, "It's not early, let's go." ”

I said, "Okay. ”

Out of the door, through a snack street, Meng Xing proposed to have dinner first, and the two of us walked into an ancient alley, which had all kinds of special snacks, and ordered bamboo rice and tile Dai specialties.

We were planning to find a hotel in the town or in Chiang Na city. Meng Xing said that the downtown area is even more unsafe, or we should go back to Cangyue Pavilion and leave tomorrow.

When we returned to Cangyue Cliff, it was already evening, standing under the wooden sign of Cangyue Cliff, and after giving the driver the money, we went to Cangyue Pavilion. As I approached the flat and open hillside, I was immediately alerted to three men walking in front of me, all wearing straw hats in the same style as those worn by the guards that day.

Meng Xing walked behind me absentmindedly, I stopped suddenly, she bumped into me, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "That's not quite right!" ”

Meng Xing looked around me and looked ahead, and suddenly pulled me to run back, and sure enough, those three people saw us running, and immediately pulled their legs to chase after me. When he was about to run to the wooden card of Cangyue Cliff, two more men came from the bottom of the mountain, these two people did not run in stride, but walked so fast that it almost seemed like they were racing.

About 100 meters apart, there was a "snap", and one of them suddenly took out a pistol from his arms and shot at this side.

Meng Xing shoved me away and jumped behind a sunken dirt slope on the side of the road. Bullets hit the mound, sending up puffs of dust.

The man who shot was a guard, and the arm that had been tattooed black could be seen from afar.

The three men chasing in front also rushed over with guns, shooting in this direction as they charged.

At the moment, there were only two paths in front of us, either to run down the side hillside, but it was an open field, not covered by tall trees, only a few low bushes, and there was no cover at all after running, and it was impossible to go fast.

There is also a way to run to the other side, in the direction of Cangyue Cliff. Meng Xing chose the latter, she pulled me desperately up the mountain, at first there were no trees on the side of the mountain, but occasionally there were some big rocks, and we were half-crouching and kept dodging the flying bullets behind each rock.

Although I used to hear Chen Xiao talk about gunfights, and many people around me had experienced them personally, when I faced it in a real way, I unconsciously remembered the fear of being shot in a bank robbery, and my heart beat wildly in an instant, as if it was about to pop out of my mouth, and my brain entered a blank period, and only my legs were still running subconsciously.

Behind the gunshots, a crisp echo echoed through the silence of the mountain forest, startling a flock of pheasants and birds hiding in the bushes. Finally ran into the woods, Meng Xing suddenly sat down behind a thick tree, I turned around and pulled her, and said anxiously, "Why don't you run?" ”

Her face was pale, and she gasped for breath and said, "You hide behind a tree." As she spoke, she unbuttoned her blouse and put her hand into her arms. I saw a holster on her waist and belly, and in it was a jet-black shiny pistol.

Yesterday, Meng Xing went to the Public Security Bureau to report on the situation of the guards, and the Duan Bureau attached great importance to it. But Meng Xing concealed the threat of her uncle and Zhang Shuai, she applied to the Duan Bureau for some pistol bullets, and the bullets from the Public Security Bureau were all recorded, but in the crisis-ridden border defense, the Duan Bureau quickly changed this procedure - issued Meng Xing a magazine.

It turned out that the pistol that Meng Xing pulled out yesterday had no bullets at all, and in this dangerous situation, she needed live ammunition to protect our safety.

But the pistol magazine given by Duan Ju was not full, and there were only three rounds in it. He told Meng not to shoot until he had to do so, and every shot fired by the police, including bullets, needed to be recorded. Meng Xing thought that the gun was a deterrent at a critical moment, and he was not handling a case, so he didn't need to bring more bullets, and three shots might be enough.

When Meng Xing took out his gun, I remembered that I should call the police, and when I took out my mobile phone, I saw that although the surrounding terrain was very high, there was no signal.

The sun is about to set, in the mountains and forests of this small border town, if you are shot and buried on the spot, it will definitely be the same as Su Jing's case back then, the stone will sink into the sea, and the other party will not even have to flee abroad after killing people, and it will be very difficult for the police to detect. Meng Xing looked out of the woods, the gunfire had stopped outside, and several figures in the bushes below the slope flashed rapidly.

They may not have known that Meng Xing had a gun in his hand, and he was not too hidden when he rushed up. Meng Xing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly jumped out from behind the tree, half-squatting on the ground, his body bowed slightly, he raised the gun with both hands, and shot two shots down the slope with his head sideways.

At that moment, my consciousness entered a strange illusion, everything around me seemed to slow down, and I saw Meng Xing's cheeks trembling slightly from the recoil of the gun, her thin shoulders stubbornly supporting her arms, and beads of sweat sliding from the corners of her eyes and onto her neck.

The afterglow of the setting sun shimmered in the trees, and some birds, alarmed by the sound of gunfire, flew out of the forest with a hula and fled far away.

Meng Xing finished shooting and quickly flashed back behind the tree.

Through the gap in the rocks, I saw one of the gunmen pounce on a rock, then roll down the hill, and as he rolled down, the rubble flew and the other gunmen quickly hid.

It was later found out that Meng Xing's two shots were both shot at the gunman's head.

Jedi Goddess - this title of Meng Xing's famous town when she was studying at the police academy once again shocked her through this border barren mountain forest.

In the twilight of the setting sun, Meng Xing leaned against the big tree and looked up at the sky, her face was surprisingly calm, and her pupils shot out like icy cold air.

It was a kind of determination to see death as if it were home.
