Asuka rushed into the water like crazy, trying to drag the corpse from the water to shore.

Chen Jianqiu and Sean also ran over to help, and there were men and women in the corpses, as well as old people, and even children.

The current became more and more turbulent, and the birds were swept down and were about to be swept away by the current.

Chen Jianqiu grabbed his arm, Sean grabbed his other hand, and the two dragged the bird to the shore with all hands and feet.

Asuka lay on his back on the shore, then struggled to get up, looking at the corpses one by one.

"My mother isn't in there, no, I'm going to find her." He galloped to Huey's side, turned on his horse, and headed for the upper Pegasus.

"Go, follow him, something is going to happen to him in his current state." Chen Jianqiu motioned for Sean to get on the horse, and the two followed closely behind the bird.

The sight along the way made them more and more frightened, there were many corpses of Indians lying by the stream, and Chen Jianqiu observed that many of the corpses were face down and had gunshot wounds in the back, presumably being chased and shot from behind.

As the horse rushed out of the mountain road and stepped onto a higher level, Asuka and his horse stopped.

In front of them was a scorched earth, the ground had been burned black, and the remains of objects were scattered everywhere, and the remaining unburned wooden poles could still be faintly discernible from the conical structure of the original tent, and there were several charred corpses inside, and the pain of being roasted alive could be imagined from their postures.

The bird rolled off its horse and fell to its knees with a "thud", and a wail resounded throughout the valley.

However, not far away, a gunshot rang out, and a blood flower bloomed on Asuka's shoulder, and the whole person fell backwards on his back.

Chen Jianqiu, who was already on full alert, raised his shotgun and fired two shots in the direction of the gunshot, but the range was limited and it didn't seem to cause much damage.

Gunshots rang out all around.

Chen Jianqiu didn't stop, holding the black radish between his legs, leaned over, scooped up the bird on the ground, and put it on Sean's horse.

"Hold down his wounds." He shouted at Sean as he turned his horse's head, "There's an ambush, retreat!" ”

Black Carrot did not wait for his master's command, and rushed out first, Sean lay on the horse's back, tightly protecting the bird, and behind them was the bird's horse, Huey.

The gunfire was still ringing intermittently, but it seemed that except for the first shot, which was particularly accurate, the other shots were normal.

"Chase!"

Two horses rode out of the woods on the edge of the ruins and chased in the direction of Chen Jianqiu and them.

It began to rain heavily in the sky, and the raindrops were connected in a line, forming a curtain of rain that drenched everyone who passed through it.

"Sean, can the birds hold on?" The rain hit Chen Jianqiu's head and face, left along his forehead, and then poured into his mouth.

"What? I can't hear you! Sean couldn't hear clearly in the back, and he looked at the birds below him, his face pale.

Chen Jianqiu turned to look at them, knowing that the bird was not in good condition, he got up and observed, and drove his horse into a forest on the side of the mountain road.

"You keep going, the woods are thick in front of you, the rain will be a little lighter, find a cave and raise the campfire." He rolled over and dismounted, shouting to Sean on his horse.

"What about you?"

"I'll stay and get rid of those two pursuers." Chen Jianqiu pulled out the Indian tomahawk from Huey's saddle bag.

Sean nodded and continued along the mountain path.

……

"Ensign, it's too difficult to track them down in such heavy rain, visibility is low, and the rain will dilute their horseshoe prints." A soldier on his horse said to the commander in front.

"Shut up for me, there's only one way down the hill from here, and as long as we can see the horse's hoof, we can continue to chase." The second lieutenant scolded, "The Indian is wounded and can't go far, and the leader says that he should try to live as much as possible, and it is better to throw it in a cage and go around for exhibition." ”

The two also came to the place where Chen Jianqiu and they were separated.

"Ensign, what do you think that's that?" The soldier suddenly pointed to the forest on the side of the road.

The lieutenant wiped the rain from his face and saw for himself a black horse hovering alone by a tree.

"Isn't that the Chinese's horse among the three people just now? Why is it that the horses are lost here, but the people are gone? ”

The two also stopped and turned into the woods.

"It must have been this horse that was injured by a stray bullet, they abandoned the horse, and we should keep chasing it." The soldier began to analyze.

"It's also possible that they're hiding in the woods." The second lieutenant drew the pistol from his waist, "They hid the other two horses and ambushed us. ”

There were three bandits on the other side, and one was wounded by a shot, and the firepower configuration was only a shotgun from the perspective of the return fire, which was useless in the woods; The two experienced soldiers on their side, even if they hide on the opposite side, have no chance of winning.

Rain falls through the crevices of the taiga, and visibility in the forest is not very high, but it is not a problem to see clearly from ten meters away.

Where is the other side hidden? Behind the trees?

The two cautiously walked towards the black horse, and the black horse didn't seem to have any intention of running, was it really injured as his subordinate said? These three people won't really abandon their horses and run away.

They went back to back, searching the back of each tree.

Just as they were about to get close to the dark horse.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky like a big bird, and the next second, a sharp Indian tomahawk slashed into the soldier's head from top to bottom.

The second lieutenant jerked around and pulled the trigger.

However, it was too late, and the black figure in front of him abandoned the axe embedded in the soldier's head, and a cat waist hugged his waist and threw him to the ground.

The unbalanced second lieutenant was lonely with his gun pointed into the air, and before he could get up, a suffocating sensation came from his neck, and the black shadow had already grabbed his back, and a strong arm firmly locked his neck.

His body was clasped like a python by the legs of the black shadow, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get out.

The rain hit his face, and his eyes radiated fear and despair.

The man in his arm quickly fell into a fainting, and Chen Jianqiu stood up with a muddy body. He pulled out the Indian tomahawk and wiped it on the corpse's clothes.

Just as he was about to end the life of the man in front of him with an axe, a piece of paper slipped out of the lieutenant's pocket.

After wiping the blood and rain from his face, he bent down, picked up the paper, and looked at it.

This is a letter to his mother, who is far away in New York, complaining that he is both a chief and a father's father, and he does not give himself a chance to make a career at all.

This thing turned out to be a big fish.

……

Sean held the flint in his hand tremblingly, and he tried many times, but there was no way to light the campfire.

He looked at Asuka lying on the side, although he was not unconscious, but he was not in a good state due to blood loss.

"This one is too wet to light up, so I have to scrape some dry pine resin and use a knife to scrape off the bark, maybe there is something dry in it." Asuka gasped.

"Just use the gunpowder in the bullets" A horse neighed from outside the cave, and Chen Jianqiu walked in. He also carried a sturdy man tied with rope on his shoulder, and a rag that he had found out of nowhere in his mouth.

The two of them looked at the two extra revolvers around his waist and the blood stains on his jacket that had not yet been washed away by the rain, and knew that there must have been a bloody battle just now.

Chen Jianqiu threw the second lieutenant by the fire. He pulled a few bullets out of his pocket and handed them to Sean.

Sean carefully unscrewed the bullet's bullet and poured out some gunpowder, and Chen Jianqiu cut open the wet bark of the branch, revealing the still dry part inside.

The bonfire is finally lit, bringing a touch of light and warmth to the cave.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at the half-lying bird by the firelight, and his silhouette appeared on the cave wall, swaying with the firelight.

Suddenly, he had a hallucination.

Asuka's face gradually changed to a strange middle-aged man he didn't know, yellow-skinned, Chinese.

He covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand, gritted his teeth and said to Chen Jianqiu: "Changluo, you hurry up, out of this mountain is the boundary of Guangdong, there will be someone in the village at the foot of the mountain to pick you up, I will drag them here for a while!" Come on...... Yes! ”

The pain distorted and blurred the face of the middle-aged.

When he came to his senses, the middle-aged man turned into a bird again, and the bird's gunshot wound attacked.

"What's wrong?" Sean went to help the bird and turned his head to ask Chen Jianqiu.

"Nothing." Chen Jianqiu took out the dagger, "I have to take out the bullet for him first." ”
