Jin Duo and Qiu Wenming groped their way through the bushes, mosquito bites, stumbling, stumbling, hurrying and hot, and sweating profusely. After walking a short distance, there was a spider web on his face, this thing is not harmful, but it is itchy and uncomfortable; The two of them stopped to catch their breath for a while, cleaned the cobwebs on their faces, heads, and hands, wiped their sweat and walked again.

After more than half an hour, I finally got out of the bushes. In front of him is a bright white swamp, under the dark skylight, the big swamp is hazy, revealing a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.

The moon emerged from the clouds, and the puffy clouds were bordered with a bright edge; The cool night breeze greets you, and the calm water is glittering; There are unknown waterfowl chirping in the distance, one long and one short.

Qiu Wenming put the two backpacks on his shoulders, turned back to Jin Duo and said, "I went into the water, I walked through it once a few years ago, the water was shallow at that time, and now the water is big, I can't say what the situation is." I'll take the lead, don't be too close to me, don't be too far away from me, follow me not far away. ”

Jin Duo said: "It's okay, let's go in shallow water, and we'll swim in deep water." ”

Qiu Wenming said: "It's easy to say, once your feet are stuck in the mud, you can't pull them out, and you can't pull them out, and you will also die if you let the aquatic plants get entangled." Remember to probe with a stick before you get your foot down, touch the bottom before you get down. ”

Jin Duo said: "Got it, are you carrying two bags?" Give me my bag, right? ”

Qiu Wenming had already entered the water with one foot, turned around and said, "Forget it, your legs are not strong, it's good to be able to keep up with me." ”

Jin Duo said: "You are carrying two bags too heavy, and if you don't feel good, you can quickly let go and throw the bags away." ”

Qiu Wenming said: "Don't worry about me, I have dealt with this swamp for so many years, I know its temper, it's okay, you just need to understand it yourself." ”

Jin Duo smiled and said, "I'm behind you, it's fine." ”

Qiu Wenming was the first to enter the water. Jin Duo probed with his cane, and then went into the water as well. The water was very cold, and as soon as he broke out in a hot sweat, and when he encountered cold water, Jin Duo involuntarily let out an "ah-" sound and shivered.

The swamp just now is a duck farm where ducks are usually placed, Qiu Wenming and they are familiar with going back and forth, and they know the water situation and the bottom of the water, so they are brave and smooth. However, the situation in this water area is different, first, the water surface is wider, five or six hundred meters, and second, the bottom situation is unknown.

There are no more than three kinds of water in the swamp, one is the sandy bottom, which is solid and does not sink into the foot, and it is best to pass; The second is the mud bottom, this kind of bottom is sunken feet, it is difficult to pull out when it is trapped, it is dangerous, and it is difficult to walk; The third is the bottom of the grass, which is the most terrible, stepping on it feels solid, in fact, the grass is suspended, people will fall directly, and then the rotten grass is very easy to entangle the legs and feet, the deeper and deeper, and then difficult to come out.

Qiu Wenming was carrying two backpacks, his body was heavier, so he was more cautious, and he tentatively moved step by step; Jin Duo followed him, staring at where he landed, for fear of falling into the air with one foot.

Jin Duo was injured in his right leg and didn't dare to exert himself, and he couldn't move his body without effort, so he had to endure the pain, and with the help of the cane, the problem was that the cane would sink into the mud and not borrow much strength. Mainly relying on the right leg to struggle, step by step forward.

Qiu Wenming and Jin Duo moved step by step in the water, and the surface of the water was disturbed, reflecting the sparkling waves; This swamp has a sandy bottom, the water is knee-deep, and the water is chest-deep; However, danger is coming, when walking a third of the way, I encountered a large area of water chestnut seedlings, this thing wrapped around the legs, Qiu Wenming repeatedly reminded Jin Duo: "Pay attention to your feet, raise your legs high, and try to fall down, and you can't get up if you fall down." ”

Qiu Wenming said that it was easy, but Jin Duo was difficult to do. Jin Duo's right leg hurt as soon as he moved, and he didn't dare to raise it too high, almost dragging it around.

As soon as Qiu Wenming's words fell, Jin Duo's left foot was entangled in water chestnut seedlings, and he couldn't bear the strength of his left foot and right leg, so he held his cane in a hurry, and the cane sank into the mud. Jin Duo's center of gravity leaned forward, and he sank into the water.

Qiu Wenming heard the sound of water, turned around, and saw a splash, but Jin Duo was missing, knowing that Jin Duo was entangled in water chestnut seedlings, he leaned over and touched it, grabbed Jin Duo's clothes, held his breath, and lifted Jin Duo out.

Jin Duo spit out the water in his mouth and said, "It's dripping!" What a hanging! ┄┄ Hello great strength. ”

Qiu Wenming said proudly: "Let me tell you, until now I am still the record holder of our school in shot put, discus, and javelin, and no one can break it." Follow me ┄┄ Slow down, and then move when your feet are implemented. ”

Jin Duo said: "The water and grass are wrapped around the foot, and the right leg is not strong. ”

Qiu Wenming said: "It's a water chestnut seedling, and it's good to pass this piece." ”

The two of them tentatively continued to move forward.

The moon rises in the middle of the heavens, and its brilliance spreads all over the earth; The Milky Way is across the sky, dotted with stars; The scenery beyond the surface of the water is eerie and mysterious, terrifying and gloomy; From time to time, a few dogs barked in the distance, the sound was monotonous, and it soon disappeared into the night sky.

Five or six hundred meters above the water, the two walked for more than an hour, and only saw the high dam at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Qiu Wenming said excitedly: "Okay, there is a dam in front." ”

Jin Duo suddenly came to his senses, and the speed of his progress increased significantly, and finally, the two of them climbed up the dam with a breath, and collapsed in the wet weeds, no longer having the strength to get up.

Although it was the dog days of July, the water was still very cold at night, and after more than an hour of soaking, all the heat in the body was absorbed, and both Jin Duo and Qiu Wenming couldn't help but shiver.

After lying down for a while, Jin Duo got up and said, "It's too cold, let's change my clothes, I have to change my dressing, my leg hurts badly." ”

Jin Duo opened his backpack, changed into a long-sleeved shirt, cut the plastic wrap with scissors, untied the bandage that had been soaked through, turned on the flashlight, and saw that the edge of the wound was blistered white, and the surrounding area was swollen, and pus and blood gushed out of the wound.

Qiu Wenming asked, "How is it?" …… It seems to be inflamed."

Jin Duo said, "It's not good, it's inflamed. Jin Duo disinfected the wound, medicated, rebandaged it, and put on his trousers.

Qiu Wenming also changed his clothes and asked, "What's the matter?" Shall we spend the night here? ”

Jin Duo whispered, "Don't worry, wait a minute." ”

Jin Duo looked back at the direction of the moon bubble, which was submerged in the dark night, and the moon had passed the middle of the sky and was falling to the west.

Jin Duo took out his mobile phone, tore open the waterproof plastic bag, and clicked on the icon "Shadow".

Stephen Hawking: "Brother, how are you?" They pounced, withdrew, and tomorrow there was a big manhunt. ”

Stephen Hawking: "Brother, when it's safe, I'm worried about it." ”

Jin Duo replied, "I'm safe now. Are there any clips at each intersection? ”

Stephen Hawking: "Well, my brothers are waiting for news of your safety. They were raided by the SWAT tonight, and there was no mass mobilization, and I don't think there were any jams at the intersection. Shall I go out and investigate now? ”

Jin Duo: "No, you guys should rest early." ”

Putting away his phone, Jin Duo stared at the far-reaching night sky silently, he was sorting out his thoughts, trying to predict tomorrow's and future actions from Tang Yingjie's point of view.

Qiu Wenming asked, "What's the matter?" We can't lie down here all the night, can we? ”

Jin Duo said: "You call and ask Wenhai to pick us up." ”

Qiu Wenming took out his mobile phone, and Jin Duo said: "Don't call Wen Hai directly, people close to us can't do it, their phones may be monitored, in this way, you call Feng Zhi, let Feng Zhi call Wen Hai, and let Wen Hai call you another phone." ”

Qiu Wenming called Feng Zhi first, and Feng Zhi didn't sleep, so he immediately answered the phone. After a while, Wen Hai's phone called.

Qiu Wenming picked up Wen Hai's phone and described his approximate location to Wen Hai, who said he knew the place.

Jin Duo motioned for him to answer the phone, and Qiu Wenming said, "Don't hang up, Jin Duo has something to say." ”

Jin Duo took the phone and said, "Wenhai, pay attention when you come over, there is no jam at the intersection." ”

An hour and a half later, Jin Duo and Qiu Wenming got into Wenhai's pickup truck.

Jin Duo and Qiu Wenming returned to Qiu Wenhai's pre-rented house in the middle of the night, both of them exhausted.

Jin Duo looked at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the second half of the night, and Qiu Wenming's room soon sounded snoring, this guy slept very well, and fell asleep as soon as he touched his head on the pillow.

Jin Duo lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a while, first, his legs had a faint pain, which affected his sleep, and second, that mysterious message, who sent the message? How does he know his phone? The phone can be located.

Jin Duo got up and turned off his phone and pulled out his calling card.

The next morning, Jin Duo woke up from the wound on his right leg, and felt the wound swell and ache - Jin Duo's wound was infected.

Jin Duo inspected the wound and saw that the area around the wound was very red and swollen, and yellow water was leaking from the bullet hole. Jin Duo gritted his teeth and squeezed the bullet hole, some pus and blood flowed out, and he sweated in pain.

Jin Duo changed his own medicine, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and fell on the bed with his back on his back.

Qiu Wenming stood next to him and watched Jin Duo change the medicine, frowned, and said in a trembling voice: "No, this is not good!" Find a clinic for a drip, the drip comes quickly? ”

Jin Duo said weakly: "They know that I am injured, and they are afraid that they are waiting for me to throw myself into the net, so let's talk about it." ”

The next day, Jin Duo's whole leg was swollen, and the instep of his foot was swollen like bread; Jin Duo began to have a fever, his face was flushed, he had a high fever of 38 degrees, drowsiness, and chills.

Qiu Wenming was scared, frowned and said, "Jin Duo, you have to see a doctor, this can't be done." ”

Jin Duo shivered, shook his head, and said in a breathy voice, "I've taken the medicine, wait and see." ”

Qiu Wenming was anxious, pacing on the ground, muttering: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, let the police arrest you and have a life, if you go on like this, your life will be over, is it a good deal?" ”

Jin Duo said: "If you let the police catch you, you won't be sick, Tang Yingjie won't let us come out again." ”

Qiu Wenming ran out of options, and said in a circle on the ground: "Isn't it waiting for death to stand up like this?" ”

Jin Duo kept his eyes idle and said no more.

On the third day, Jin Duo's condition deteriorated further, his right leg was swollen and purple, his face and eyelids were swollen, his fever reached 39.5 degrees, his forehead was hot, his consciousness began to blur, and he had difficulty opening his eyes.

Qiu Wenming panicked, at a loss, and sat on the edge of the bed all morning and didn't dare to leave; In the afternoon, Qiu Wenming couldn't wait any longer, he shook Jin Duo awake, and said with tears in his eyes: "Jin Duo, I can't listen to you. If you can't do that, you're going to die. We haven't avenged yet, it's too unjust to die like this, let's go to the hospital. I'll call Wenhai and ask him to pick you up. ”

Jin Duo looked at Qiu Wenming's tear-stained face, realized that it was a dead end to go like this, thought for a while and said, "You call Feng Zhi and ask Zhong Hua to come over." ”

Qiu Wenming called Feng Zhi, Feng Zhi called Zhong Hua, and Zhong Hua called Qiu Wenming on a landline to ask for a clear address.

Half an hour later, Zhong Hua hurried into the courtyard.
