Chapter 30: Divergent Paths

readx;? The sky was slightly bright, and two people who claimed to be Doctor You Fang came from the crowd, stood beside Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, and asked in a low voice, "How can you go out of the city when you two are dressed like this?"

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu looked at the two of them puzzled, the two smiled, and one of the men about forty years old said, "If you really want to go out of the city and don't want the devil to detain you, please come with me!"

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were a little puzzled, but they still followed the man towards the city, and when they arrived at a barber shop, the man told the reason. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It turned out that in order to avoid female compatriots being bullied by devils, it was recommended to shave their hair and dress up as a man to get by.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu both felt that it made sense, so they did so......

Finally waiting for the city gate to open, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu followed the crowd towards the city gate, and when they were close to the checkpoint, two devils walked straight towards them, with contempt and anger in their eyes.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu didn't dare to face it, peeking at the devil who came to her, her trembling body and violently beating heart were already uncontrollable, Cuiyu felt that death was approaching step by step, but Qiao Xiaojing's heart was complicated, she was not only afraid of the threat of injury and death, but also worried that she would be Lingru again.

The two men who had advised them to shave their heads at first stood behind them, and seeing Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu's fear, they gently poked them with the flat pole in their hands, suggesting that they should not mess with themselves first.

Maybe it was because she felt that there was someone behind her to help, and the two of them calmed down a little. Even though he pretended to be nothing, his legs kept shaking.

"What are you holding in your arms? Open and check!" The two devils did come to Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, because the two of them were nervous, they couldn't help but hold the burden in their arms, and the more they hugged it, the tighter it became, which made the devil suspicious.

The devil's bayonet was facing the burden of the two of them, and the angry gaze made Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu tremble even more.

"Taijun rest assured, we are all great good citizens. It was the middle-aged man who took Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu to shave his head and stood up, nodding to the devil frequently, while explaining to the devil, only then did he stabilize the devil, and said to Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu in a stern tone, "Why don't you hurry up and open the baggage, didn't you hear Taijun's words?"

"Good, good. Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu just woke up, hurriedly put the burden on the ground, opened the burden, the two devils fiddled with the bayonet, only saw a few corn tortillas and a few shabby clothes, then didn't say anything, turned to leave.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu picked up their burdens, did not dare to stay in any way, and walked out of the city gate with their heads down.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, who went out of the city gate, were like birds escaping from the cage, feeling infinitely free and relaxed, the fresh air made them intoxicated, and even the biting cold wind made them feel refreshed, and they seemed to be as light as flying when they walked.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were like children who had not grown up, sometimes laughing happily, sometimes humming happily, only caring about their own happiness, completely ignoring the two men who had been by their side and helped them escape for their lives.

They walked with these two men for nearly two hours after leaving the city, and they did not part until they passed by a forest, and they did not take care of these two people who were enthusiastic about the ancient way.

However, these two men were generous-minded, they walked to the woods, took the initiative to say goodbye to Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, and did not forget to tell the two of them to be careful on the road, and hide when they see the devil, if they can't dodge, don't panic, try to stay calm, be flexible with them, and then find a way to escape with the whole body, and so on.

Maybe Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu haven't lived such a relaxed life for a long time, their minds are full of happiness and joy brought by freedom, in the face of the good words of the two righteous people, they didn't have the slightest gratitude, just nodded lightly, and continued on their own way.

"It's broken, it's sloppy. Qiao Xiaojing was chatting with Cuiyu when she suddenly came up with such a sentence.

"What's broken?" Cuiyu was even surprised, eager to know what Qiao Xiaojing was worried about.

"How should we know the names of those two heroes, even if we never have a chance to repay them in our lifetime?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"The two men who made us cut off our hair and kept us out of the city, they helped us so much that we didn't know who they were, and we didn't even say a word of thanks. ”

"Yes, you're right, we don't even say a word of thanks, that's too bad. ”

Cuiyu took Qiao Xiaojing's hand and returned to the forest where she had separated from the two righteous men just now.

"It's like they're in the woods, and they don't go very far. Qiao Xiaojing pointed to the path stepped out of the woods.

Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu didn't seem to think too much, and ran straight into the woods, trotting and looking left and right, looking for the whereabouts of the two righteous men.

Unfortunately, they ran to the end of the woods, panting and sweating, but they still did not see the two righteous men.

"I've chased it outside the forest, and now I'm at the bottom of the mountain, if you want to find it, you have to go over the mountain, if you don't look for us, we'll go back the same way, what do you say we should do?" Qiao Xiaojing wiped the sweat from her forehead, put her hands on her waist, and panted as she spoke.

"Since we have all reached the bottom of the mountain, then let's go up the mountain, maybe we can see them when we go up the mountain, if we still can't see them when we go up the mountain, let's leave. Jade rolled up the sleeves of her padded jacket as she spoke, sweating her hair and steaming hot.

Qiao Xiaojing nodded, and the two climbed up the mountain along the mountain trail again.

Due to the snow on the mountain, the road is narrow and slippery, and it is extremely difficult to walk, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu are wearing cloth shoes, the soles of which are very smooth, and there are several times when they almost slip and fall down the mountain during the climbing.

When she was about to reach the top of the mountain, Qiao Xiaojing suddenly shouted excitedly: "I found them, I found them." ”

"Where are they?" Cuiyu was not far from Qiao Xiaojing, just behind Qiao Xiaojing, when she heard Qiao Xiaojing's shout, she looked up and saw that there was only Qiao Xiaojing on the bare mountain except for snow, and she was very puzzled.

"It's not people, it's footprints, it's footprints that they left behind. You see, these footprints have just been stepped on, and they are definitely not fake. Qiao Xiaojing's words were conclusive.

Cuiyu arrived, looked carefully at what Qiao Xiaojing pointed at, nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, we will follow these two lines of footprints to find them, I don't believe we can't find them!"

The wind on the top of the mountain was even stronger, whistling and blowing, as if it was about to tear people apart, and the bitter cold was more like countless sharp fangs, wanting to penetrate people's skin and devour people's internal organs.

When climbing the mountain, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were both hot and sweaty, but at the moment, they were tightly wrapped in clothes, bent over, and shivering from the cold. In the blink of an eye, ice had formed on both of their eyebrows, and their hair was frozen into locks and stiff on the back of their heads.

Maybe it was because of Qiao Xiaojing's previous brainskin injury, the cold wind hit, she felt that there seemed to be another crack in her head, the cold wind seemed to enter her skull along the crack, and poured into various nerves and blood vessels, her nerves and blood vessels seemed to be coagulated, she covered her burden on her head, and kept banging on the top of her head with her other hand.

"If not, let's rest for a while, or we'll go down the mountain, don't hold on. Cuiyu saw that Qiao Xiaojing's face turned pale and even turned blue, her expression was extremely ugly, her legs were weak, and she was twisted like a twist in the snow, so she hurriedly dissuaded.

"Don't dare to stop, the cold wind is so strong, I can't figure out if I stop and I'll die here, so I'd better follow the footprints and look for it." Qiao Xiaojing's voice was very weak, but she still walked forward with one foot high and one foot low, one foot left and one foot right.

Although Cuiyu felt sorry for Qiao Xiaojing, she didn't say anything more when she saw that she insisted on moving forward, and under the leadership of the footprints of the two righteous men, she helped Qiao Xiaojing to continue to hurry hard.

Walking through a mountain beam, Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu came to the junction of the two mountains, and the two lines of footprints that guided Qiao Xiaojing suddenly became a mess, some footprints were facing west, and some footprints were facing east, but the footprints of the south and north were erased, and the two of them went back and forth.

Jade stared at the scattered footprints and said as she walked, "Obviously, someone did it on purpose, in order not to let others follow the footprints to find them, but this practice is too obvious to easily arouse suspicion from others." ”

"That's good!" Qiao Xiaojing came to Cuiyu's side, pointed to the ravine and said, "Go down here, you can't walk twenty steps to find their footprints again, and you may find them." ”

"How can you see that?" Cuiyu stood at the junction of the two mountains, looking directly at the ravine, full of doubts about Qiao Xiaojing's words.

"Feeling, intuition!"

"I don't believe it, let's go, let's go down and have a look!"

Cuiyu helped Qiao Xiaojing down the ravine, about ten steps, and sure enough, two more lines of footprints appeared, the footprints were crooked, and Cuiyu gave Qiao Xiaojing a thumbs up.

They didn't stop, but continued to walk along the footprints.

I don't know how many steps I walked, but suddenly, two young men dressed as farmers appeared from behind a big rock, and when Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu approached, a tall young man smiled and asked, "Where are you going, how did you get down from here?" If you want to go down the mountain, you should walk south, less than a mile. It's too detouring to go down the mountain from here, at least five miles more. ”

"Then why are you here?" asked the two men with a smile.

"We are farmers in the mountains, and we want to pick up some branches and go home to make a fire. The tall man replied.

"The forest is on the south side, there are no trees here, how can you pick up branches?" Jade looked at them with disdain.

Qiao Xiaojing was worried that arguing with strangers in this barren mountain would cause harm, so she dragged Cuiyu's back placket and walked down the slope.

"What are you doing, why are you here?" The face of the man next to him, who had been smiling and not gnawing, suddenly became serious, and he stood in front of Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, trying to block their way.

"You have a lot of questions, why should I answer you?" said Jade, breathlessly.

"Let's go. Qiao Xiaojing dragged the jade and wanted to return the same way.

"Wait, how can you leave before you say it clearly?" The tall man suddenly took out his gun, and pointed it at Cuiyu and Qiao Xiaojing.

"Don't get excited, we have something to say. As soon as Cuiyu and Qiao Xiaojing saw the gun, they didn't dare to be reckless.

"Let's go!" Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu followed the man who rarely spoke as the big man instructed, and the big man followed behind them with a gun.

Cuiyu timidly asked, "Where are we going?"

The big man was very reluctant to say, "You'll know when you get there." ”

Qiao Xiaojing looked forward and saw that it was white and empty, and there was no home, which looked very weird.
