"Now we need to send someone to Lin'an to report the news. But the outside was blocked by the enemy, and it was impossible to get out, so I had to dive out from here. Which of you will come first? Sha Yuan looked at more than a dozen soldiers of different statures and spoke.

"Master, I'll come." A tall soldier said.

"Good! Now that the mountains are full of people, you just have to see if you can swim outside the city, and if you can, you can come back. Sha Yuan instructed.

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier stopped talking nonsense, cleaned up a little, held his breath and plunged headlong into the water.

"How long will it take to get back?" Pu Mingsheng asked.

"I don't know, let's wait for half an hour, and if we don't come back after half an hour, we'll send the next person. And so on. ”

Pu Mingsheng nodded and did not speak.

A group of people stood quietly by the river and waited, for a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour.

A full hour later, the man who had just gotten in had not yet come out.

"Who's next?"

"I'll come." A soldier who had been prepared for a long time stood up and, without saying a word, plunged into the water.

Another half an hour of waiting, but the person who had just entered the water still did not return.

Sha Yuan's face was not very good, and he didn't speak, and looked up at the soldiers who came over.

A soldier silently stepped out and got into the water again.

Little by little, from morning to evening.

There are fewer and fewer people standing next to Shayuan.

Sha Yuan and Pu Ming looked to the last person.

"Master, this waterway looks like it shouldn't be passable, can you not go down?" Seeing that none of his companions had returned, the thin soldier's legs went limp.

His name is Bunu, and he is nineteen years old.

I just got married last year and have a son who is just under a year old. Seeing that more than a dozen people in front of him were gone, he really didn't want to go into the water anymore.

"Bunu, I know you don't want to go, but there's no way around it now. If we can get the news out, we can escape. If you can't send it out, I'm afraid you and I will die here sooner or later. The difference from the current one is only a matter of time. You are our last hope, and if we can find a way out, I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand slaves! That's the way it is, I won't force you, it's up to you to decide! Sha Yuan said in a sincere tone.

After listening to Sha Yuan's words, the skinny bunu fell into hesitation.

He knew that Sha Yuan hadn't lied to him.

If you go in, you will probably die, but at least there is a glimmer of life.

If you don't go in, whether you surrender or die trapped in the city, sooner or later you will die. It's better to get rich! After a moment, he gritted his teeth.

"Sir! I'll go! If I can't come back, please help me raise my son! ”

"Don't worry!"

Sha Yuan patted him on the shoulder.

After making up his mind, Bunu no longer hesitated and resolutely plunged into the water.

Soon after Bunu left, there was another commotion outside the city.

"Go see what's going on." Sha Yuan instructed the soldiers beside him.

The soldier ran to the city wall and looked at it.

It turned out that the soldiers under Mu Tianbo's command came back from hunting with laughter. After he reported it to Sha Yuan, Sha Yuan was so angry that he scolded his mother.

"Lao Sha, what did I say in the morning? These dogs are very cunning. The real and the false are just to paralyze us! They definitely don't have anything to eat! If you don't send someone out of the city, what a good opportunity! Pu Mingsheng looked annoyed and began to complain about Sha Yuanlai.

"Didn't you say your back hurts in the morning? If it weren't for you, you'd be out of town by now. Sha Yuan sneered and said sarcastically.

"I'm not... It's not..."

Pu Mingsheng's face flushed, and he didn't say a reason for a long time. In fact, he was so annoyed that he knew that he had taken someone out of the city, and he didn't have to squat by the water all day. I don't know if this bunu can do it.

After Bunu got into the water, it was like a fish returning home. Since he was a child, he has had a natural affinity for water, and it is his greatest pleasure to swim and dive in all kinds of water, regardless of cold or summer. Once in the water, he quickly adapted to what it was like to be underwater. It was pitch black in the water, and he tried to keep his eyes open, but he still couldn't see anything. I had to rely on this perception of the direction of the water flow to quickly find the direction he thought was right.

He was fast, and his thin body shuttled through the water like a fish. I don't know how long later, he hit his head on a rock. Straight into his eyes, he had gold stars in his eyes. There was a sharp pain in his forehead.

Oh no, it's a dead end.

But if he turns back at this time, he will definitely not be able to swim back. What to do?

Bunu forced himself to calm down and quietly feel the water around him.

No, the direction of the water flow has not changed, there must be an outlet. He began to get close to the stone and slowly groped his way, followed by a joy.

He touched a hole.

He knew the reason why the dozen or so people in front of him couldn't get out.

The hole is too small!

After he touched it around, he found that he could barely accommodate himself through. He plunged headlong into it, and sure enough, he passed. At this time, he felt the change in the direction of the water, but he felt that his lungs were about to explode.

He took one last bite and rushed diagonally upward. Finally, at the last moment when he was about to faint, he rushed out of the water. At this time, his eyes were black, and he was gulping in a big gulp of fresh air. After a while, he saw the environment in front of him clearly.

By this time it was completely dark. The noise of Mu Tianbo's soldiers reached his ears.

He remained silent for a while, and when he had regained some strength, he plunged back into his head.

This time it was much smoother than when he came, and after getting through the hole, he swam against the direction of the current towards the city, and before the oxygen ran out, he finally got out of it.

"It's back! It's back! Pu Mingsheng cried out excitedly, stepped forward and grabbed Bunu's arm. Bunu slowly climbed up and lay on the ground exhausted.

"How?" Sha Yuan also squatted down impatiently and asked.

"It's out!" Bunu's answer was nothing short of heavenly, and both of them jumped up with excitement when they heard it.

"We're saved." Sha Yuan said happily.

"yes. It's finally time to call for help. ”

"That's not all!"

"What else?"

Sha Yuan didn't speak, and took a deep look at Pu Mingming.

Pu Mingsheng also woke up.

He smiled tacitly and didn't speak.

"If you can pass, why are so many people missing in front of you?" Sha Yuan asked curiously again.

"Not far from the river outside is blocked by a stone wall, but there is a hole. This hole is so small that the average person can't get through it at all. I also barely managed to get through it because I was naturally thin. ”

Bunu regained some strength a little, sat up and said.

But his words made Sha Yuan's two hearts cold by half.

The two looked at Bunu's thin body, and then looked at themselves who were five big and three thick.

Hopes of escape were dashed.

"Can the hole be bigger?" Pu Mingsheng asked with some reluctance.

"Yes, the edges of the stone wall are thin, so it should be easy to chisel."

When the two of them heard this, they became happy again.

All right.

It's good to be able to chisel.

"You go back and rest first." Sha Yuan said happily to Dobunu.

He thought about it, and asked Bunu to chisel the hole a little bigger before leaving the stone screen. If the reinforcements can't defeat the white pole soldiers, they can escape along the river except for any accidents.

Mu Tianbo's soldiers fought a lot of things.

What wild boars, antelopes, hares, etc., plus June is the season for the explosion and growth of fungi, this trip into the mountains, they can be said to return with a full load.

"General Qin, the things we brought back this time can be eaten for at least three days." Mu Tianbo said happily.

"It's hard for the soldiers under the command of Grandpa."

"Eh~ It's not hard. Hunting, what's so hard. We'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning to try to get more food and come back. ”

"Grandpa, you can wait tomorrow and see the reaction of the rebels in the city before making plans."

"General Qin means it's possible for them to leave the city?"

"I'm just guessing, not necessarily accurate." Qin Liangyu said with a smile.

"Then wait another day. If they do go out of the city, they will kill another wave. Mu Tianbo thought about it carefully, and there was really a possibility, so he agreed.

Early the next morning.

He led the people into the mountain again in a noisy manner.

"It's too much! It's too much! Pu Mingsheng shouted angrily. Lao Sha, do you think they went hunting this time, or are they planning to ambush us again? ”

"I don't know."

"Let Dingzhou give it a try?"

......

Try your mother!

"Uncle, I also sprained my waist yesterday, and now it hurts badly." Sha Dingzhou also learned from the general reputation.

"How can a child have a waist." Pu Fame pouted. "But Lao Sha, I think we still can't let go of this opportunity to let people out of the city, even if there are fewer people, at least we can ensure that the news will be transmitted to Lin'an, there are too many uncertainties in taking the waterway."

"Good. At ten o'clock in the middle of the day, a hundred men were sent out of the city. ”

Sha Yuan felt that what Pu Mingming said made sense, and agreed.

Seeing that it was noon, a hundred men opened the gates of the city and ran cautiously out of the city.

It was still a familiar process, or a familiar operation, and the woods remembered the sound of shouting and killing again.

Pu Mingming's face twitched hard.

Again!
