Chapter 32: Escape
Subsequently, the sick villagers were divided into two groups.
The heavier ones remain in this cave, and the others will be dispersed to other caves.
"It's now." Liu Ruyan spoke, she took the first step, and handed a hand to the old man behind her, "There are so many people, please ask Dr. Zhang to follow my side." ”
Zhang Huairen was quite pleased, he put his finger on her wrist, suddenly paused again, looked up at Liu Ruyan, his face was full of horror.
"Why don't you leave?" Zhuge Ming muttered quietly.
"No, it's nothing, the old man will leave."
There were villagers all around, and the three of them walked extremely carefully.
Liu Ruyan helped Dr. Zhang in front, Zhuge Ming followed closely behind, they lowered their heads, just like ordinary villagers, their faces were natural.
And Zhuge Ming was anxious, he only hated that there were too many people nearby and his pace was too slow.
He counted his steps secretly, and at this moment, a voice came from ahead, which frightened him.
"Stop!"
It's over, he was discovered, and Zhuge Ming's face was like ashes.
In front of him, a villager stood on a protruding rock with a stick in one hand, looking down on the crowd from a high position.
When his gaze swept over Liu Ruyan and a few people, he continued: "You guys, go to the cave in the west. ”
After saying that, a man came over to lead the way.
It turned out to be a false alarm, Zhuge Ming exhaled, and the hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he realized that the sky outside was already bright, and seeing that there were fewer and fewer villagers around, Liu Ruyan turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Ming.
Zhuge Ming immediately understood, slowed down his pace quite tacitly, and deliberately fell behind the crowd.
At this time, an old man and a young man, plus a fat man, walked slowly at the end of the line.
Liu Ruyan paid attention to her surroundings, and when she passed by a bush, she suddenly said: "Hide." ”
Although Zhuge Ming was fat and sturdy, he was not slow to move at all, he twisted his waist, and immediately got into the bushes, squatted on the ground with Liu Ruyan, and waited for the villagers in front of him to drift away.
It wasn't until those people completely disappeared from sight that he dared to gasp loudly: "I was scared to death just now." ”
"This place is not to stay long." Liu Ruyan said, getting up and stepping out of the grass.
"Yes, yes, get out of this place!"
Right now, they are in the depths of the mountains, in addition to the sparse grass, there is a white snowfield, Liu Ruyan called out the night search, and asked secretly: "Do you know Shen Yanchu's whereabouts?" ”
Ye Xun tried to open the male protagonist's perspective: "No, the distance is too far, and the system can't be contacted for the time being." ”
"Let's locate my position first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a map of the mountain flashed in front of him, and according to the graphics, they were on a mountain twenty miles outside the village.
"Where does the host go next?"
Liu Ruyan thought about it, and it was better to go back to Kengkou Village first.
Unlike her confidence, Zhuge Ming was completely in a state of blackness, and even his voice was a little desolate: "This ice and snow, where should we go?" ”
"I know the way, just follow me." After speaking, she helped Dr. Zhang up.
Seeing her calm demeanor, Zhuge Ming couldn't help but ask: "To be honest, what kind of person are you, why are you so godly, you even know the mountain roads outside the village." ”
Liu Ruyan took off the cloth towel: "I was in the army in the early years, and I just know some methods." ”
Regardless of the other party's surprise, Liu Ruyan quickly climbed a cedar, broke off a branch, handed the end of the trunk to Dr. Zhang as a crutch, and cut off the treetop part separately.
"What is this?" Zhuge Ming didn't know why, and took the treetops she handed over.
"The villagers can't be allowed to find these footprints."
Zhuge Ming suddenly realized.
The two doctors walked to the foot of the mountain under her guidance, and Dr. Zhang staggered, and with each step, the bell tinkled and rang non-stop.
"I said what are you doing with this thing, it's not loud enough, what if you attract the villagers later?" Zhuge Ming grumbled and swept away the last few footprints with a branch.
Zhang Huairen clenched in his arms and muttered: "The things handed down by the ancestors cannot be lost." ”
"But it's not a problem to keep ringing like this."
Liu Ruyan, who was walking in front, stopped and stretched out her hand to Dr. Zhang: "Let me get it." ”
Zhang Huairen was suspicious and took out a tiger support.
Liu Ruyan grabbed a handful of snow foam and filled it into the gap between the bronze utensils until the tiger brace stopped making a sound.
"The snow won't melt for a while, enough for us to get out of this mountain."
Zhang Huairen held the tiger in his hand and looked at her quietly, without saying a word.
"Let's go, if we get to Kengkou Village before dark, we might be able to have a hot meal." Liu Ruyan said with a light smile and stepped down the hill first.
The mountains and rocks in this area are steep, but it is the only shortcut to Kengkou Village.
Liu Ruyan was responsible for leading the way in front, Dr. Zhang followed unhurriedly, and Zhuge Ming was far behind the two.
He was panting heavily, the fat on his belly rose and fell, and the branch that Liu Ruyan gave him was used as a crutch, and the pestle was under the crunch.
There was a gurgling sound in my stomach at the right time, I was really hungry, and my limbs were weak from hunger.
He smashed his mouth, and always felt that the crystal clear snow foam in front of him was like caramel on a steamed cake.
Thinking like this, my stomach became more and more hungry, I was dizzy with hunger, the ground seemed to shake, and the snow foam on the treetops fell even more.
Liu Ruyan suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at him: "Quick, they are catching up!" ”
Zhuge Ming hasn't woken up yet, what, those people have caught up again, how did they find out?
Zhuge Ming subconsciously turned his head, and there were a few footprints on the winding and rugged mountain road.
He was shocked in his heart, and his face was embarrassed: "I, I forgot to sweep away the mark......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly went back to clean up the traces left along the road.
Liu Ruyan stepped out to stop it: "Don't worry about the footprints in the distance, hurry up." ”
"Yes, yes."
"After this wood, there is a plain not far ahead, hold on to it until you get there." Liu Ruyan looked into the distance, and could vaguely see the smoke of the cooking, "There are thatched huts where the hunters settled on the plain, and I don't know which village it is." ”
"Buddha bless, don't be from Taiping Village." Zhuge Ming shook his hands.
Zhang Huairen frowned, and he also looked worried.
Liu Ruyan looked around and said to the two doctors, "Find a place to hide first." ”
Not long after Liu Ruyan left, a group of villagers armed with sticks and sabers surrounded her.
"What about them?"
"There were footprints just now, why are they suddenly gone?"
Everyone was at a loss and looked at the leader.
"A few of you search along the mountain road, and the others follow me into the forest, so I don't believe they can still fly."
In the forest, Liu Ruyan and the two doctors trotted all the way, accompanied by the whistling north wind, and the villagers could vaguely be heard.
It was extremely difficult to walk in the snow, and from time to time he would be tripped by the protruding rocks, Liu Ruyan helped Zhang Lao, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
If the villagers were caught, I was afraid that it would only be more auspicious, but it really didn't work, so she dragged these people and let the two doctors take the opportunity to escape.
Liu Ruyan was thinking about it, but unexpectedly, Zhuge Ming, who was following him, was tripped by the mountain rock and fell down the hillside.
The unstoppable inertia caused him to roll down the hill heavily, and he protected his head, his body arched slightly, and his teeth clenched, for fear that he would not be able to bear the cry, until he fell into an abyssal crack.
The body fell suddenly!
