Chapter 14: Shot
Although there was moonlight at night, it was still difficult to discern the direction, Ma Yun thought about it for a while, but still found a tree with lush branches and climbed it, and simply made a bed out of branches. Although he only wore a straw skirt, he never felt the slightest cold, lying on the tree bed and carefully recalling the bits and pieces of these days, everything was like a dream, but he clearly knew: all this was not a dream! With anxiety and longing for this strange world, he gradually fell asleep.
"I'm going, it's raining?" Ma Yun only felt a chill on his face, and hurriedly opened his eyes, seeing that the sky was already bright, and the sun was sparsely shining on his body through the leaves. When I reached out and touched it, I felt something slimy, and I knew that I had won the lottery without looking at it.
"Uncle, I was hit by bird poop when I got up early in the morning, is this going to be!" This is an optimistic person, who can face life easily and happily every day.
Jumping off the tree bed, he roughly judged the direction based on the position of the sun. Yesterday, I kept my body low on the bird's back, but I still judged that I should be flying east based on the position of the sun, and I should continue to walk east at this time.
A few hundred meters to the east was a hill only two hundred meters high, and he decided to climb to the top of the hill first to see the environment to the east. With Ma Yun's current skills, this point of journey will arrive in a while, and what makes him depressed is that he didn't find anything to eat along the way, and occasionally saw a few small animals, but they were all very keen, and they ran away quickly when they saw him.
As soon as he reached the top of the hill, before he could take a serious look, he was attracted by a wisp of smoke from the east. At this time, there was no wind, and the smoke rose from the ground, and slowly dissipated when it was submerged in mid-air, looking like a dancing black ribbon from a distance. Jack Ma immediately saw hope, and smoke like this is typical of human-lit fireworks, not like the chaos of forest wildfires. After determining the direction of the position, he ran over quickly, and even his hunger was put aside.
The place where the cooking smoke was was a dense forest, and he would always block his view and not see the cooking smoke, so he had to walk for a while and climb the big tree to determine the direction of the cooking smoke. Two hours later, Ma Yun stood on a big tree with excitement on his face, looking at the smoke not far away.
"Luckily, the smoke hasn't been extinguished!" but on second thought, "No, this smoke seems to have been a little longer, so it's better to be careful." So he slowly dived in the direction of the smoke.
Gently pushing aside a dense grass, the scene of the smoke is coming into view. In the middle of a small clearing there was a small fire, and in it there were several large pieces of wood, which seemed to be a little damp, not only burning a little slower, but also emitting black smoke when burning, no wonder the smoke lasted so long.
A man dressed in black lay on the ground not far from the fire, motionless, as if asleep, with a burden beside him. Looking at the clothes and baggage of the person on the ground, they are all the style of the ancients, so Ma Yun is a little more sure of the other world in his heart.
He touched a small rock from the ground and threw it at the man, striking him in the leg, but the man remained motionless. After a while, he threw another small stone over, and the man remained motionless. After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to take a closer look at what was going on.
"Brother Tai wake up, does Brother Tai need help?" Ma Yun shouted loudly as he approached, but there was still no reaction when he came to his side, and his heart went down and turned the man over.
"I'll wipe it, no!" the man's face was black, and there was a large patch of blood on his chest. Reaching out and probing, there was no pulse or breath, what was it if it wasn't a dead person!"What the hell is wrong with me, first to run, then death to run, how lucky I am going to go." ”
For dead people, Ma Yun is not very afraid, this guy loves to watch bloody and terrifying movies the most, what "There Are Eyes Across the Mountain" series, "Fatal Bend" series, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series, "Scream" series, "Human Centipede" series, these movies that others will be nauseous and vomit after watching them, he watched them with relish. In addition, in the past two months, he has lived alone in the wild, fighting big snakes, riding big birds, drinking monkey wine, and has survived several life and death crises, so he has a different understanding of life and death.
"Seeing each other is fate! Although Brother Tai has already gone. Now Ma Yun is confused about himself and this strange world, and when he sees this person who died of poisoning and injury, he has no energy to think about the cause of his death. Drew out the short sword on his waist and dug it on the ground, the short sword was sharp, Ma Yun was now strong, and quickly dug a pit half a meter deep, and buried the man in the pit. After burying it, I looked at the baggage.
"Brother Tai, whether you were good or bad in life, it has disappeared now. Offend you, the burden brother opens it and takes a look, in case there is something needed, the brother will take it and use it, don't blame me. "Ma Yun is not a pedantic person, he has principles and bottom lines in everything, as for the rest, he is not so careful.
The contents of the baggage were really what he needed, a man's clothes, two large cakes, and a cylindrical thing, and when he opened the stopper, he could see that there was a spark inside, which should be a fire fold, and in addition, there was a string of copper coins, exactly the same style as the copper coins in his arms when he first woke up. "Fire folds, copper coins. It looks like I've really come to another world. Until this time, Ma Yun still didn't believe his own ideas.
Without saying a word, he took off his straw skirt and put on the outer robe, which was very fit, and then tidied up his messy hair and tied it into a bun, put the gourd and short sword in the package, took out a large cake and ate it, and finally extinguished the fire and continued to the east.
Not long after Ma Yun left, a group of people appeared at the place of the fire, led by a big man dressed in purple. The big man looked around the fire, and finally focused on the mound where the man in black was buried. As soon as the big man gave the order, several people dug up the mound, revealing the corpses inside. The big man looked carefully at the face of the man in black, examined the wound on his chest, and groped his whole body again before pushing the body aside.
"Sure enough, someone deliberately used fireworks to lure us here to distract us, and now we can only put hope on another path. Withdraw!" the purple-clothed man looked annoyed. Soon a group of people disappeared into the woods.
If Ma Yun was there, he would have been pleasantly surprised, because the man in purple spoke the same language as him. He had always been afraid that there would be differences in the languages and scripts of this world, and that would be a big problem for him.
As Ma Yun continued to move eastward, the woods became more and more sparse, and the terrain became more and more flat, all of which indicated that he was going to get out of these mountains. Later, when he found a path, he immediately remembered the saying: "There is no road on the earth, but when there are many people who walk, it becomes a road!" He had never been so eager to see human beings.
After walking along the path for a short time, I stumbled upon a bush of thick grass beside the path that was gently swinging, and it seemed that there were animals in it. So he took the short sword in his hand, walked over gently, and slammed open the grass and was about to stab the short sword, but unexpectedly, a little girl was hiding behind the grass, and she screamed loudly in fright when she saw his appearance.
"Oh, little sister, don't be afraid, I'm an animal, don't cry!" the little girl looked like she was about seven or eight years old, and after listening to his words, she raised her head, and her immature face still revealed fear.
Ma Yun tried hard to pretend to be kind, "Little sister, why are you here alone, your family?"
"There were bad guys chasing us, and I got separated from my grandparents. ”
As soon as he heard the little girl's words, Ma Yun was very excited, it was the same language as him, and his worst worries could finally be put down. But then he fell into doubts, "Bad guys, where are the bad guys?"
"There. The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction he was going.
"How many bad guys are there?"
"I don't know, I heard the bad guys chasing after me, and my grandparents told me to run quickly, and then I couldn't find them. Then the little girl began to cry again.
"Don't cry, uncle will take you to them!"
"But I think you look like a big brother!"
"Oh, yes, big brother will take you to them. Ma Yun suddenly remembered that he had become younger, and he was no longer the greasy middle-aged uncle, and it was more appropriate to call him a hairy guy.
"But there's bad guys over there. ”
"Don't be afraid, I can beat the bad guys. Since being reborn, Ma Yun has felt that his physical fitness has been greatly improved, especially after drinking snake gall bladder, he has more strength in his body, and then he can hold two or three hundred pounds of big stones, and he can jump more than one meter high at once. Thinking that even the big snake can handle it, how powerful can the bad guys in this world be, thinking of this, he is a little eager to try.
The little girl hesitated, then slowly stood up. "Follow me, let's go find grandparents together. The little girl walked too slowly, and she fell two heels, which made Ma Yun feel distressed. "Big brother will take you and go!" the little girl nodded.
Not long after carrying the little girl away, there were several shouting voices in front of me, as if someone was scolding. He found a thick bush and let the little girl hide in it. "You hide here, big brother go and see what's going on in front, I'll come and pick you up in a while, don't run around." The little girl nodded sensibly.
After settling the little girl, Ma Yun quietly sneaked to the place where the voice came from. Everything in front of him scared him a little. I saw a dozen ragged men kneeling on the ground, four big men with knives in red and black clothes standing next to them, and several corpses lying on the ground, with the fear of their life on their faces: their eyes were spitting out, and their mouths were wide open.
At this time, a kneeling man was pulled out, only to hear a big man laugh and say, "This person is too old, it's useless to get it back to the stockade, cut it down!" The other three also laughed when they heard this. The kneeling men on the ground trembled even more. Just when the big man raised the big knife and was about to cut it down, Ma Yun really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and stood up from behind the grass where he was hiding, shouting "Stop!"
