Chapter 203: The Aura of Hypocrisy
When the rain stopped, Hu Yi lay down in a dense bush on a high place, quietly looked at the people who were temporarily resting in the pile of rocks through the branches and leaves, and after watching it carefully for a while, he slowly slid down in the mud like a crocodile, and silently reached the bottom of the valley behind the slope.
Zhou Wanping sat in a wide stone crevice, desperately rubbing the mud on her hands, her whole body was sticky and she couldn't bear it, she didn't feel anything when she ran, but now she started to feel uncomfortable when she stopped, wet and cold, sticky, dirty and tired, she had never been so wolf in her life.
The clothes and pants were all muddy and clinging to his body, and he lowered his head to see, no wonder he was a little unnatural just now, high and low ravines, and the hollows in the upright places were unobstructed, looking at it, even Zhou Wanping herself smiled helplessly.
The green not far away trembled, and Zhou Wanping, who was trying to pull the wet sticky pants looser, raised her head, and it didn't take long for him to appear.
"Is that them?"
Hu Yi stuffed his head until he reached the crack in the stone, and looked down at Zhou Wanping, who was still pulling at her clothes and pants while waiting for an answer with her dirty face up: "It's them, and there is one more person." ”
"One more?"
"Section Chief Xu. ”
"Huh?" Zhou Wanping finally showed an unbelievable face, and even stopped the movements of her hands: "You mean...... Could he ......?"
"At least he wasn't hurt. Hu Yi's tone was light.
Zhou Wanping could understand the meaning of Hu Yi's words, sighed and lowered her head.
"The plan has to change. Hu Yi took out a compass, and said while opening the leather box: "Now I will teach you to use this, as long as the direction is good, you can find the division before dawn tomorrow, don't take the path, try to follow the valley." ”
Zhou Wanping looked at the compass handed over by Hu Yi, did not reach out to take it, lowered her head, and continued to arrange her tights without speaking.
And then. ”
"I don't want to. It's getting dark, and you've taught me not to see. I think...... The safest thing to do is to go back by yourself first, and I can walk slowly behind, or find a place to hide first. ”
“......”
Hu Yi was also very helpless, expecting Dr. Zhou to go back to report the news by himself over the mountains and mountains, it was indeed unreliable, whether it was her physical endurance, or courage and directionality, plus the chance of accidental injury, her speed back to the division could not be counted on at all, and survival might be a problem...... Once his actions fail, Section Chief Xu is not dead, and there is no room for recovery in this matter.
Zhou Wanping's idea is indeed the safest and most conservative plan at the moment, but Hu Yi can feel that her main purpose is not to let herself be in danger. If you put her alone in the barren mountains and mountains, it's not impossible, there is one in thousands of miles, but I am afraid that I will regret it because of this, which is no different from expecting her to go back alone.
After being silent for a while, Hu Yi put away the compass: "Can you stop working on your pants, I feel dizzy." Hurry up and pack up, hurry!"
Zhou Wanping stopped tidying up, raised her dirty face and looked at Hu Yi waiting for an answer.
"Let's go together, you must hurry, from now on you have to grit your teeth, don't shout tired to me anymore. What are you looking at, why don't you hurry up?"
For two things, at least one thing must be guaranteed to be satisfactory first, and then strive for both things to be satisfied; between the division headquarters and Dr. Zhou, Hu Yi finally put Zhou Wanping in front.
"But...... I'm still going to slow down, I'm just a burden. If you don't worry, I can hide ...... first."
"Hide a fart! I'm your guard, and I don't know anyone from the division. If you're willing to think about them, then let me memorize them a few times. ”
If this sentence was heard by others, Hu Yi would be scolded, but Zhou Wanping didn't feel angry at all when she heard it in her ears, but suddenly stopped feeling cold.
......
Section Chief Xu's hands were still tied, sitting on a stone, and seeing that Platoon Commander Ye was muttering something to his subordinates in the distance, he suddenly asked the side: "What are you trying to do?"
"What do you say?" the person who answered was the person who was the guide for Platoon Leader Ye.
"Can money be bigger than a human life?"
"At least I didn't betray anyone directly!" the guide's tone was disdainful, mocking, and justified.
Section Chief Xu glanced at the guide very seriously, nodded and stopped talking.
Coo-goo-goo...... A strange voice faintly rang out.
Following the prestige, a warrior was unloading something from his back, and the covered tarpaulin slipped off, revealing a small square box with small holes on the sides, which was where the sound came from.
Section Chief Xu frowned deeply, looked there in a daze, and saw that the soldier seemed to have taken out some grain and was teasing and feeding it to the hole in the box.
"That's ...... Keeping things alive?"
Seeing that the guide didn't care, Section Chief Xu took the initiative to stretch out his head to him, trying to make a smile: "Anyway, the two of us can talk, this is also fate, isn't it." If he really returns alive, he doesn't know who will ask for whom. ”
The guide, who was squatting on the stone and holding wet cuffs with his hands on each other, squinted at him, and then at the box in the distance: "There's a white bird there, as white as snow, but it's beautiful." Originally, there were two of them, but one was released two days ago. ”
"Shiratori? put one? why?"
"How do I know why?"
"Then can you tell me about that ......" Section Chief Xu leaned closer to the guide to know some details, and just saw Platoon Leader Ye coming over, so he had to retract the second half of his words.
"Ready to go, Section Chief Xu, let's talk about the next stop!"
"From here to the southwest, go around the three mountains, fifteen miles, but ...... The road is not easy to walk. ”
Platoon Leader Ye smiled faintly: "Is this also a road, can you tell me how far it is?"
Section Chief Xu thought about it seriously: "If it is at this rate, I will let you see the division headquarters tonight." ”
"Let's go!"
......
Although the rain stopped, the sky did not change, and it gradually became a little darker as it approached evening.
Section Chief Xu raised his head, there was already a faint steep mountain peak in front of him, this path will pass from the cliff in the middle of the peak, a treacherous section of more than 100 meters long, called 'half the sky', because one side is a cliff, one side is a cliff, only half of the sky can be seen and it is named.
After a while, Platoon Leader Ye who led the team stopped, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked, a path bent close to the cliff, around the cliff, the light became worse and worse, the bottom of the cliff was dark and swarthy, turned his head and looked at the cliff on the right, there were marching marks left by the people who reconnoitred first. When he turned around, he found that Section Chief Xu was not following closely behind him, he was in the team behind, walking unnaturally, and seemed to twist his foot. So he asked loudly: "Section Chief Xu, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't see the road clearly, I twisted it, and I didn't delay. Section Chief Xu's answer came, and Platoon Commander Ye led the team to continue marching.
Section Chief Xu really doesn't want to die, no one wants to die. It's just that there is an old lady in the family, and a young brother, after joining the army, he has become the glory of the old lady, the idol of the younger brother, and the pride of the whole village.
Although he is a civilian, although he has never fought a war, and although he was frightened by the soldiers who died under the guns of the devils, he still dare not forget the ancestral grave! In fact, this is not bad, at least he has escaped the calamity of torture, if that is the case, he will definitely not be able to survive, and he will definitely say a word; at least he can live so long, at least he can die a happy death, God treats me well, I am afraid that I have to endure it, if I pass here, I will not be able to enter the ancestral grave, my mother and younger brother will be scolded for a lifetime, I am afraid that I have to endure it.
Originally, I wanted to pull the bastard leaf platoon leader on his back, but then I felt that it was inappropriate to walk on the road, so I thought about dying with that scum guide, and it was more meaningful to have no guide than to have no commander. But now, this idea has been revised again, the white bird that the guide said may be the method they use to transmit the message, only in this way can they say what the platoon commander Tongye said, and if they can't contact the reinforcements, they will die sooner or later!
I just don't know if I guessed correctly, but I have to do it.
Pretending to be limping, trembling on both legs, walking slower and slower, limping is pretending, trembling is real. It was not until the man with the box on his back overtook him that he continued to follow the group, but his legs were still trembling, as if they were filled with lead. In this way, he trembled and approached the road to the edge of the cliff, trembling and walking on the edge of the abyss.
This road of more than 100 meters long, on weekdays, feels very long, long, looking forward to hurrying through guò, but now it feels too short, buzzing in my mind, a few uneven heavy breaths have already walked a long way, a look up has actually walked more than half of the effort, seeing that the platoon leader and the guide in front of the team have gone out of the danger zone.
If you go again, you will pass, and if you go again, you will definitely be a traitor, and you can't go again, I never thought that this treacherous road would make me so nostalgic, reluctant, reluctant to give up this last paragraph.
Exhaled heavily, followed two steps, his hands still tied behind his back, and had to bite the back collar of the bird-carrying man in front of him, bite it tightly, and then raised his foot and kicked it on the cliff......
Shiratori ...... A beautiful white bird...... Hehe...... Never think this thing is pretty! This is clearly a bloody brute! When it spreads its beautiful wings, it may be doomed to the doom of thousands of souls, it is more hateful than a crow, it is the real devil, it is the god of death! Where is it beautiful! What qualifies it to be beautiful...... Brute, you don't have a chance to fly anymore, and I'm flying......
A terrible scream came from under the swarthy cliff, and then came to an abrupt end a few seconds later.
The murky stream flowed at the bottom of the dark cliff, churning among the gravel, and on the dark water, there was a pitch-black feather floating, which was rushing with the turbidity, and no one could see it, so the feather was black, and if there was light, it would know that it was blood-colored.
That beast is either black or blood-colored, not white at all, absolutely not, everyone is deceived by it, it is more hideous than the devil.
