Chapter 61: The End

Five to three, listening to the voice of talking, there is a little lady among the three, they are actually defeated, just like his life, Li Ji has been bowing his head and being silent.

Hearing the voice in front of him, he frowned and raised his eyes, in the morning light, the little lady who spoke was gray-haired, in tattered clothes, obviously no different from the escapees he had seen on the road, but so different.

It wasn't until years later that he understood what that was different, it was light, the light in her eyes shining like a star over the vast wilderness, so dazzling and dazzling that illuminated his life.

On the way to escape from the famine (death), living a day that today does not know tomorrow, one moment is still panting, the next moment when you fall down, you may never be able to get up again, everyone is bleak, and one day is a day, like a corpse.

The young man was very indifferent, ignoring her question, Ji Rongjin smiled faintly, lowered his arms, put his hands behind his back, and turned to look at the mountains stretching in the distance, "Sir, Brother Ji, let's continue." ”

Situ Lai was waiting for the little lady to solve these five people, but she didn't expect to throw them here to fend for herself, raise her feet and leave, and then laughed again, punishing but not hurting people's lives, but whoever can leave room will never hurt the killer, which is her style of acting.

"Let's go." He followed crisply.

Mai Xiaoji was reluctant to use the hemp rope, "It's all tied up and used, and we won't have to use it in the future." ”

"We'll be able to resupply in two days, that's okay." Ji Rongjin smiled and patted the mule's head, "Thank you for your hard work, big brother mule!" After saying that, he grabbed a handful of grass seeds and gave them to the mule, climbed into the mule cart, and crooked inside, "Go Luo!" ”

Situ glanced at the five strong men behind him again, and got into the passenger seat.

Mai Xiaoji couldn't hold back, ran to the back compartment, and whispered into the compartment, "What if these five people earn the rope?" ”

"When they break free, we'll be there." Ji Rongjin looked at the mountains not far away.

Mai Xiaoji followed the place where she looked over, unconvinced: "Is there really a village?" ”

Ji Rongjin smiled, "Won't you know in two days." ”

"Yes." In the distance, confused, unable to see anything, Mai Xiaoji could only choose to believe her.

Seeing that the mule cart was going farther and farther, the strongest man was not convinced, "Fifth brother, you should think of a way!" ”

Tied from his shoulders to his ankles, Li Ji twisted his body and finally struggled to stand up with the help of his companions, looking at the mule cart that was getting smaller and smaller, was it the benevolence of the woman, and he was not afraid that they would catch up and kill her?

"Fifth brother...... Fifth brother ......? A middle-aged man attached himself to him in the same way, "Listen to the tone of the little lady, it seems that there is a village ahead, why don't we go with us?" ”

The three of them who were paralyzed on the ground were overjoyed when they heard that there was a village, "God, great, we can do a big job and grab it enough." ”

Li Ji turned his head and glanced at the three people on the ground, his face was gloomy, "Untie each other and follow up." ”

"Great!" The third child was very happy, "Stinky girl, wait for the old men to untie her, see how to tie her back." ”

Mai Xiaoji has been worried, "Jin Niang, what if they catch up and tie us up?" ”

Ji Rongjin said very firmly, "The time difference is half a day, and when they catch up, we will also reach the mountain in front." ”

Mai Xiaoji was a little worried: "What if they happen to untie that kind of knot?" ”

Ji Rongjin lay in the carriage and slowly chewed the grass roots to supplement food. "That's providence."

Mai Xiaoji was so frightened that he almost fell off the car, "Ah no, Jin Niang......"

Si Zhi was very confident in her knotting method, "Don't worry, it's not that coincidental." ”

Mai Xiaoji was still worried, and he didn't have the heart to catch the car.

Ji Rongjin could only act as a confidant eldest sister to comfort him, "Don't worry, no matter how bad it is, we still have knives and bows and arrows in the car." ”

That's right, Mai Xiaoji finally let go of half of his heart, he has always treasured the mule, and along the way, except for special circumstances, he let the mule eat and rest well every night, and he is not willing to be cheap at all.

As Ji Rongjin expected, when they reached the foot of the mountain, the five people hadn't caught up yet.

At the end of March, the mountain in front of me was not only bare and green, but also covered with snow, and I walked along the foot of the mountain for another day, not to mention the village, not even a bird could be seen.

"Jin Niang......" Mai Xiaoji looked depressed, the dry food on their bodies had been eaten, and they couldn't find anything to eat, and they were not far from starvation.

The sky gradually darkened, the mountain wind blew, cold and swishing, Si Zhilai couldn't help but want to persuade Ji Rongjin, just wanted to speak, the little lady in front of her shouted in surprise, "Look, there are traces of being trampled on in the winding places here." ”

The depressed Mai Xiaoji perked up, "I'll take a look." Although he didn't grow up in the mountains, he went all the way south to find Ji Rongjin, climbed mountains and waded through rivers, and he also had experience in these, "Yes, that's right." All of a sudden, he became excited, "I'll find my way." ”

Ji Rongjin grew up in her grandmother's house in the mountains when she was a child, and she didn't go to live with her parents in the city until she graduated from elementary school, so she is no stranger to the mountains, and she can even survive in the wild.

Why did you choose to flee to Yidong, because this place is equivalent to the northeast of the later generations, not only mountains and rivers, but also black soil, as long as enough food is stored in spring and summer, you can hibernate like animals in the long winter, and you can live enough of the days of modern social animals, Ji Rongjin feels cool when he thinks about such a leisurely little day.

"What if there's a big beast?" Watching the two of them climb up the mountain in a hurry, Situ reminded.

Looking at the sky, Ji Rongjin said, "We can't climb very high, but the mountains are high and the forests are deep, so we can hide our traces and avoid being caught up by the five people behind." ”

This is also true, Situ no longer objected, and the three of them took the mule cart and circled up along the trampled path.

Half an hour later, it was completely dark.

Just when the three of them were about to find a relatively flat place to camp on the rugged hillside, Ji Rongjin saw a thatched hut behind a big rock, and they couldn't help but hurriedly climb over.

No one shouted, and when I opened the door, there was no one.

"It should be the hunter's place to settle for himself." Ji Rongjin was very happy, in fact, she insisted on going up the mountain at night, not only to avoid the five strong men who caught up, but mainly to try her luck and see if she could meet the thatched hut of the hunter.

Sure enough, there was an aura through the crossing, and she was really encountered.

The small thatched hut was scattered with some goods from the mountains, including millet and some dried mushrooms, and the living utensils on the mule cart were all available, and the three of them immediately started boiling water to cook and eat.

The miscellaneous mountain goods, in Ji Rongjin's hands, fell into the pot in order, and it didn't take long for the aroma to waft.

In order to prevent attracting wild beasts, a large fire was lit in front of the thatched hut, and even the room was steaming, and a bowl of mountain mushroom soup was scooped, and the millet cooked in the fire was peeled, and wandered for more than 30 days, as if at the end of the line.

"It's so delicious."

Can it be fresh? That's dried chicken fir fungus!
