CHAPTER XLIV
As she expected, Ji Liu slept directly until noon before she heard Qin Se call her.
There were people walking around the cellar, and the voices of people were so loud that the layers of earthen walls could not stop them, and it was very lively.
Ji Liu just lay there, and he didn't need to force his ears to the cellar mouth to hear their discussion. After listening to it for an afternoon, everyone gossiped and finally came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than eating her tonight.
"Huh."
Qin Se turned his head sideways to her and wondered, "You can still laugh?!" ”
"Why can't you laugh," it is impossible to say that she is not nervous, anyone who hears that she is going to be eaten raw at night can't calm down, but the villagers above are so lively, it can only explain one point: "The more intense they discussed, the more it can prove that Sheng Li ran away, and successfully concealed them from disappearing without a trace for half a day, isn't it a good thing?" ”
"But you're going to be eaten," Qin Se looked at her with a sneer, "just tonight." She looked at Ji Liu with one bloodshot eye, and the other side was empty with black and black, which was really a bit oozing.
Although Ji Liu asked Sheng Li to believe her, but the heaven should not be called the earth and the earth, and now there is no way to let her escape except for looking forward to Sheng Li meeting Chen Qi and others in advance.
Her old god was lying down, waiting for the judgment of the wicked in the evening.
Although he was locked in the cellar and it was dark every day, Ji Liu could still detect whether it was day or night outside. As the sun set, Ji Liu's heart sank little by little.
"Can you stop shaking your legs, the noise makes me upset." The cellar was damp all year round, and the head of the cage village where they were holding them was covered with a layer of straw.
Ji Liu lay on it with her legs clasped together, her posture was leisurely, but the leg on top of her was shaking unconsciously and couldn't be controlled by her.
Her stomach also hurt a little, and she replied in a trembling voice, "Do you think I want to shake?" I can't control it! "In the evening, without the scruples of outsiders being present, the beasts upstairs did not drink with her whenever they wanted.
"Hey, aren't you pretty good in the morning?"
Qin Se saw that she was so scared, so he was relieved: "Just like that, the forbearance will pass, much better than me." Although she longed to die for Ji Liu and end her nightmare life as soon as possible, she was just a fish on the chopping board, and she was powerless.
Her relief grew shorter and shorter, and the last of her words was directly overshadowed by the sound of the cellar door opening.
Qin Se immediately listened to it, and Ji Liu also hurriedly fell to the ground and pretended to be asleep, this time it was not the village chief's family who came down, and the footsteps he heard were heavier and more powerful than usual, obviously a few stout men.
"It's a shame that it's so beautiful."
"Don't be heard by the village chief, you forgot how his daughter is crazy."
The first man to speak immediately stopped talking, Ji Liu felt that he was being carried on his shoulders, his waist and abdomen were just on his bones, and his whole body was upside down and walked out.
She held back the acid water she was about to spit out, and her head was down and her skull was congested.
- Say! Go ahead!
What if what happened through the village chief's daughter could make her survive for a while?! However, the men seemed to be extremely worried that the village chief would be stimulated, and after silence, they shut up completely.
Knowing that this method would not work, she secretly opened one eye and carefully surveyed the surrounding terrain, calculating how likely it was that she would slip away while it was dark!
As a result, before she could see the terrain clearly, she arrived at the place where she was going to be slaughtered, and the man who carried her didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, as if he had just praised her for her beauty and said that she was not pitiful to this person.
"Bang!" With a thud, her body was thrown to the ground, splashing dust and choking on her to almost sneeze.
Brush!
Brush!
Brush –
The person on the side was sharpening the knife, and her heart and liver were hurting again and again, and the knife was going to fall on her in the end. Ji Liu never dreamed that he would be slaughtered as a pig for the New Year.
But even so, her heart couldn't help but jump for a moment.
For the sake of convenience, the villagers put the place where she was slaughtered by the river, maybe they could jump directly into the river while they were not paying attention, as long as they could hide in the mountains as soon as possible, they might be able to get a glimmer of life.
Once she had made up her mind, she began to take a closer look at her surroundings.
"Village chief, the knife is sharpened." The aunt who was squatting by the river to sharpen her knives rushed to the crowd of people who were setting up pots not far away with a sharp and white kitchen knife, and the smile in her voice couldn't be hidden, as if she was excited about the next meal.
This is the time!
Ji Liu suddenly opened his almond eyes, couldn't wait to stand firm, and flew into the river. The river was just a man's height so deep that she forgot to hold her breath as she threw herself down, and the cold water choked her throat down her nose.
The sound of the waves she threw into the river, coupled with her uncontrollable coughing, caused the villagers to shout and make a mess.
Ji Liu's eyes were blocked by the water, and her feet were also cut by the stones covered under the water, she relied on her instinct, took advantage of the physical strength of growing vegetables since she was a child, and kept swimming towards the other side of the river with her hands.
"Don't let her into the woods!"
The village elder's voice roared on the bank of the river, followed by a group of people jumping into the river to swim after Ji Liu like dumplings under boiling water.
Ji Liu automatically blocked out all sounds, and she dragged her heavy body to the shore, not daring to stop and rest for a moment, and plunged into the forest.
"Damn it!"
The time was so hurried that she actually forgot that when she was fishing before, the river seemed to be calm on the surface, but in fact it was full of reefs, and she accidentally landed.
Ji Liu was not as familiar with the terrain of the forest as they were, and her physical strength was not as good as that of the villagers after not entering the rice noodles for two days, so she couldn't run far with her injured leg at all.
She forced herself to calm down quickly, and after many years of crawling in the mountains behind her house, she thought that she was no worse than the group of people behind her.
"As long as you find the place of the Tibetans, as long as you find the place of the Tibetans...... Ji Liu kept repeating to remind herself, she must be careful, she must not miss any place, some natural holes will be formed between the cracks of trees and stones, and it is extremely difficult to be found when it is dark.
She forgot about the pain in her foot and quickly climbed up one gentle slope after another until she stepped into the air.
"Ahh
Ji Liu fell into a deep pit, and she tried to get up, but found that her leg was in abnormal pain and she couldn't focus.
The cave was deep, the moonlight was blocked out, and the cave was pitch black.
She slowly groped her hand to the injured place, gasped in pain, then looked up at the sky with thin clouds, and smiled bitterly: "It's over." ”
Now that the surroundings are closed, she is locked in a hole like a trapped beast, her legs are broken, and even the bones are pushing out of the skin, and she can't lift her strength to run again, and she doesn't want to be manipulated by others.
You can't be discouraged if you run for your life, and if you stop suddenly, you can't do it again, Ji Liu is completely out of energy, she leans against the wall of the earth cave like a rotten position, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
But what she didn't expect was that the villagers came much slower than she expected, and the moon was dim, so they slowly surrounded the entrance of the cave.
One of them kicked the dirt and stones around the mouth of the earth hole, smashed Ji Liu Man's head, she turned her head and coughed, patted the fine pieces off her head, and mocked: "Oh, chasing an injured person is so slow, it's a waste!" ”
Anyway, I'm going to die, and I have to be quick to say anything.
Who knew that the group of men above suddenly laughed, and the people who chased after him included the son of the village chief, with the deterrence of the village chief, he was also a vague leader among the men.
He looked at Ji Liu as if he was a fool, and said, "Why do you think my old man let people chase you and don't want you to run into the woods?" It's not that you're afraid of destroying our traps! Hahaha! You're lucky, the one that fell in was used to catch some ewes and cows and bring them back to produce milk. ”
"But," he lowered his head and tossed the soil and stones on the ground, and kept sprinkling them on Ji Liu, and continued to smile and said, "It's not wrong, isn't it just a ewe?!" Hahaha! ”
In their eyes, human life is equivalent to a sheep, Ji Liu really couldn't understand it, she angrily reprimanded: "Since you can hunt and farm your own land, why do you still eat people? Is human life so cheap in your eyes?! ”
"Phew, it's obvious that you people don't take us seriously, no matter how hard we try to live, we will still be sold and killed by people outside at will in the end, and in the end we will be blamed for being ruthless......"
The village chief's son stood up suddenly, his nostrils constricting, and then gasped for breath to retort.
He was about to continue, but was interrupted by other men: "Let's take her back first, the village chief is still waiting." The village chief's son turned his head and glared at the man, and then arranged for someone to go down and tie up Jiliu and pull him up.
Although he was unhappy, he also knew the priority of the matter.
After some tossing, the sky has begun to brighten slightly, and the people of Stone Village believe in the gods, and they are bent on believing that as long as the sky appears to be colored, what they do will be seen by the gods.
Ji Liu was saved, she looked at the Yixing on the faces of the villagers, and couldn't help but sneer.
- Where did the gods come from to be so blind?!
She breathed a sigh of relief, she had finally survived the first night, and the shock in Qin Se's eyes when he saw her was completely undisguised.
"You're still alive!" She even thought that the best result of Ji Liu was that she was missing an arm and leg, but she didn't expect that she just broke her leg and left a life.
"Not dead! But it's not far off. ”
Ji Liu knew that he couldn't move at night, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, completely ignoring the injuries on his body.
She slept quickly and deeply, and it wasn't until she was woken up by Qin Se at night that she found that her legs had been reconnected.
"You took it?" Ji Liu asked in surprise.
Qin Se listened to the sound of footsteps coming from above his head and explained, "Hmm. I used to get hurt a lot, and it will be. "The same group of men as last night had already opened the cellar door and came in, she knew that Ji Liu might not escape death tonight, but she still looked forward to Ji Liu being able to bring her a miracle again.
"Let's go, I'm going to have to eat you tonight." The village chief's son came to bring people in person, but Ji Liu was flattered, she twisted her head and rolled her eyes, directly ignoring the existence of several people.
