Chapter 6: Escape

Qin Fan didn't know what the flying object had put down, and he had to leave here with Chen Xiaomei as soon as possible. There was no other way for a while, Qin Fan could only take Chen Xiaomei to move downstream, out of the bend of the river, and transfer to the rapids, so that the river could take them to escape as soon as possible. More than two hours later, the icy river water caused them to lose a lot of energy, and coupled with the long run last night, Chen Xiaomei was too weak to bother to open her eyes. Can't stay in the water anymore, stay in the water any longer, Chen Xiaomei's life may be in danger, Qin Fan found a densely wooded riverbank, and dragged Chen Xiaomei to a dry place where sunlight came in to settle down. In order to facilitate swimming, his shirt and shoes were taken off and thrown away in the river. When I was in the water, I didn't feel cold, and when I got ashore and was blown by the wind, goosebumps were all up. He took off his pants as well, twisted them and put them back on, and although they were still wet, they were much more comfortable. Although the sun outside the woods was good, he did not dare to venture out.

Chen Xiaomei's clothes were soaked, lying on the ground, shivering all the time. It's easy to get sick when you're dressed in wet clothes like this. Qin Fan found some dried leaves in the woods and spread them next to Chen Xiaomei, and then touched Chen Xiaomei's face lightly, her face was a little hot and she had a fever.

Chen Xiaomei looked at Qin Fan weakly, "Brother Qin Fan helped me dry my clothes."

Qin Fan couldn't care about the separation between men and women, so he hurriedly helped her take off her clothes and shoes, and then covered her with dried leaves.

Qin Fan set up a simple drying rack in a sunny place in the woods, twisted and dried his clothes and socks, hung them to dry, and put his shoes aside.

Although it was already noon, it was in the woods, and the temperature was less than ten degrees. Chen Xiaomei kept saying that it was cold and asked him to hold him. At this time, Chen Xiaomei did not have a single strand on her body, and Qin Fan felt very embarrassed. He found more dry leaves in the woods and covered Chen Xiaomei.

When this is done, my stomach "gurgles... Gollum...", I had to get something to eat.

Qin Fan used a branch to fork a fat fish in the river, and he didn't know what kind of fish it was. Use a screw-sharp knife to cut open the fish maw and remove the internal organs, because there is no fire tool, it can only be eaten raw, this fish has no fine spines, although it has not been roasted and seasoned with salt and oil, Qin Fan feels that this meat is very sweet and has eaten a lot. He made a lot of minced meat and fed it to Chen Xiaomei, but Chen Xiaomei's fever became worse and worse, and she didn't eat much. Qin Fan saw that her clothes and socks were almost dry, and hurriedly put them on for her.

Chen Xiaomei, who was dressed, still said, "Cold, Brother Qin Fan is holding me." "They never thought they would come to such a cold place, and the clothes they brought were all summer clothes, which had limited effect on keeping out the cold.

Qin Fan raised Chen Xiaomei's upper body, sat behind her, and then let her lean on her chest and hold her with both hands, so that both of them felt a lot warmer.

About three hours later, the sun didn't seem to have shifted much, maybe this place is not called the sun, Qin Fan felt that the day here was a bit long. There was no sunlight shining in their place anymore, and the temperature seemed to be even lower. His physical strength had recovered a lot, and in order to avoid tracking, Qin Fan picked up Chen Xiaomei on his back and walked along the wooded and grassy place on the riverbank, which was very slow. His body and soles had been cut by the grass in many places, and he wanted to enter the water again and let the river take them away, but looking at Chen Xiaomei, who was feverish, he had to give up this idea.

After walking more than ten miles, there were two large buildings in front of him, the building was very special, neither Chinese nor European, from his angle, it was oval, the long axis was three hundred meters, the short axis was about fifty meters, the surface was glowing with metallic luster, and the color was the same as that of the flying machine tracking them. Difficulty: It's not a building, it's a bigger flying machine? One of them is only twenty or thirty meters away from the riverbank, and there are no trees and grass in that section, and it is difficult not to be spotted if you walk along the riverbank. If you want to go around the building, you also have to pass through a clearing without trees. Otherwise, they can only walk back or jump into the river, which is a very difficult choice when there is no food and clothing, and Chen Xiaomei is still sick. When he observed for more than ten minutes, it was difficult to make a decision. Not far behind them, another flying machine flew and began to reduce its altitude, and the oval building in front of them on the right was also walking in their direction, all of them of the same size. A few armored men also jumped off the aircraft, also walking in their direction - they were exposed again!

Chen Xiaomei was lying in the grass, and she also saw the flying object, and said weakly: "Brother Qin Fan, you can escape alone, take me with you, you can't escape...... In the woods and grass, I could die of illness...... Let them catch me, and maybe I'll survive...... Maybe you can see my sisters and them. ”

Qin Fan looked at Chen Xiaomei with a pair of tiger eyes, thinking to himself, maybe she was right.

"Hug me again!" Chen Xiaomei opened her arms and looked at him longingly, tears flowing.

Qin Fan hugged Chen Xiaomei and said categorically in her ear: "Little sister, you must live well, I will find a way to save you out." ”

The voice of the armored man in the distance approached.

"Hmmm! I'm sure you will", after saying that, Chen Xiaomei pushed Qin Fan away with all her might, "Hurry up!" ”

With tears in his eyes, Qin Fan glanced at Chen Xiaomei, turned his head and went straight to the direction of the river.

At this time, there was a sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" from behind, "pop", and a silver needle was nailed to a tree trunk in front of Qin Fan's left. Qin Fan shuttled through the woods in a "zhi" shaped route, exerting his usual blue ball style to the extreme, dodging left and right, effectively dodging the silver needles launched by the opponent, and running to the shore a few minutes later, plunging into the water.

He had only been swimming in the water for about ten meters, and in the water five or six meters away from him in front of him, a circle of water bubbles on the head of the opponent's submersible lit up. Qin Fan subconsciously kicked in with his foot, rushing out to the side, and more than a dozen silver needles swept past him. But he was still shot in the calf by one of them, and there was a tingling sensation in the calf. After more than ten seconds, the body was a little uncontrollable, and the vision began to blur a little.

Qin Fan vaguely felt that a creature was swallowing his left hand, a little painful, it felt like a big fish, and he took out the screw knife on the side of his trouser leg with his right hand and thrust it hard. The big fish was in pain, and rushed out with him, Qin Fan grabbed the handle of the screwdriver with one hand, and hugged the fish with the other.

……

I don't know how long it took, when Qin Fan woke up, he was already lying on the beach, and there was a big silver-white fish as big as an adult lying beside him, looking like a catfish, and his screw-sharp knife was still inserted in the gills of the fish, only the handle of the knife was exposed. He pulled out the silver needle on his calf, looked at it, and found that the silver needle was solid except for the front three millimeters, and the back section was hollow, and it was a small bubble at three millimeters, and this small bubble had cracked, and it was estimated that this position contained anesthetic. Seeing this, Qin Fan casually threw the silver needle into the river.

The sun was about to set, and my stomach was starting to crumble again. Qin Fan used a screwtip knife to get a few pieces of fish meat on the fish to eat, and sucked a few mouthfuls of fish blood. After resting for a while, the sky was getting dark, and his strength had recovered, so he took advantage of the afterglow of the sun and walked downstream along the riverbank. Subconsciously, the person who captures him is upstream, and he goes downstream. After walking for several miles, he finally came across a normal man, who was not wearing armor, but also cloth, in his fifties, carrying a wooden barrel on his back, holding a shiny silver metal pipe in his hand, barefoot, with the same black eyes and black hair as he was, and his skin darker than his. It's just that they don't understand each other's words at all. It took a long time for the barefoot man to figure out where he was going to live, and what to eat and wear. The other party took out a grapefruit-sized thing from the barrel and handed it to him, he didn't know what it was, it seemed to be a fruit or something, the skin was a little hard, and he didn't know how to eat it. The barefoot man pointed to the stones on the side of the road and gestured for him to hit them with stones. Qin Fan smashed it with a stone according to the meaning he understood, the skin was not thick, it was easy to smash open, revealing the yellow flesh, the fruity fragrance was overflowing, he tried it, it was delicious, much better than catfish meat. Qin Fan gave half to the barefoot man, and the other party signaled that he had eaten it and didn't need to give it to him. Qin Fan had eaten fish just now, saying that he couldn't finish it, and he didn't have anything to pack. The other half is then put into the barrel and covered with a cloth.

Qin Fan followed the barefoot man, eating and walking. Ten minutes later, I saw a small village in front of me. Approaching the village, Qin Fan was stunned by the scene in front of him. Because the houses here are all made of wood, and they are not built on flat ground, but on large tree branches, and these wooden houses are between ten and twenty square meters in size. The whole village was very quiet, just passing in front of a wooden house, a big bird that was originally lying on a branch stood up and kept flapping its wings at Qin Fan, chirping again and again, the voice was sharp, as if it was warning Qin Fan. The big bird resembles a polar owl but is more than twice as large as an owl, with beautiful feathers and two large eyes like brass bells that glow like a wolf. A young man walked out of the house, saw the barefoot man and Qin Fan, and scolded the big bird a few times, and the big bird quieted down and returned to its original position, motionless. The young man said a few words to the barefoot man and went back to the house.

Along the dirt road in the village, when they reached the fifth wooden house, the barefoot man shouted "Alain" several times into the house. Inside the house came a slender woman with a headscarf, a lilac dress, and barefoot, who was about twenty years old, and was presumably the daughter of a barefoot man. The barefoot man said a few words to the woman, whose name was "Alain," and the girl turned back into the house, and after a while came out with a silver bowl and a twig in her hand. With the light coming out of the house, Qin Fan found that the silver bowl was filled with water and a few flower petals. Miss Alan walked up to Qin Fan and gently splashed water on Qin Fan with a branch and leaf dipped in petals.

Then, the barefoot man took Qin Fan to a nearby wooden house and motioned for Qin Fan to go up, probably meaning that he would live here tonight. Qin Fan climbed up the wooden ladder in front of the house, opened the wooden door, and walked into the wooden house. The wooden house is very warm, the wooden house is circular, the roof is conical, the conical roof and the wall junction is installed a circle of lights, the lamp tube is a whole, glowing with soft light, not very bright and not dark, just suitable. The cabin is about fifteen square meters, and there are no common beds in the room, but half of the floor is about twenty centimeters high, covered with soft blankets, and there is a quilt stacked in the corner, obviously this high floor is the sleeping place. Qin Fan approached the quilt and sniffed it, there was a faint smell of grass. On the left side of the room there is a small window, and next to the window is a small wooden table and a small wooden chair, all of which are hewn out of a single piece, and there are carvings on it, which is very exquisite. There was also a two-foot-wide and three-foot-high mirror embedded in the wooden wall against which the table rested, but instead of glass, it was gray metal.

Qin Fan was looking around the room when the barefoot man brought a small packet of ointment and a set of clothes. The barefoot man helped him apply the ointment and asked him to put his clothes on. Qin Fan didn't have a shirt, so he took the shirt and put it on, the clothes exuded a light fragrance like the quilt, a little short, there was no way, people could only get down when they were in trouble. Then the barefoot man took out a red thread and tied it to Qin Fan's wrist, folded his hands, bowed his waist, and said a few words. Qin Fan also folded his hands, bowed his waist, and thanked the barefoot man again and again. I don't have anything to give to the other party now, and I think to myself, I can only try to repay today's kindness in the future.

After fleeing all day, Qin Fan was sleepy and tired, and after the barefoot man left the room, he lay on the blanket and soon fell asleep.
