5 Chapter 5
Gu Wan pulled him up, and the two of them rushed down from the wall more than ten meters high.
In the dark night, the moonlight faded, leaving only the hazy snow, the moss left behind the dead ashes, and the bricks and bricks were stacked with layers of snow powder, and when you stepped on it, it was hard, cold and slippery.
The high blue brick wall is built like a city wall, and the 80Β° inclination is really fucking exciting when diving, and the north wind suddenly increases and whirls past her ears, freezing her ears almost off, and her heart seems to fly, she holds the thanks, and the other hand clutches the cloth rope, and the palm of her hand is hot.
- When he came up, he thanked him, but he was obviously at the end of his strong crossbow, his lips were bruised, and he couldn't stand up, so he had to go up.
Gu Wan threw away the cloth rope and gasped, the white hot air spurted out from her mouth and nose, and she quickly closed her mouth, so as not to run out of the hot air in her stomach.
was forced to be a fugitive, which was something Gu Wan had never thought about in his life, but it would be smooth after taking two steps.
After all, the original owner has not committed a crime, the Xie family lives a simple life, as a loyal and brave father, Xie Xinxin is only three dishes and one soup at home, enough to eat, never wasted, the men's underwear and home clothes are mostly dark muslin, and they are replaced with new ones when they are worn out, but they are strict with themselves and lenient with others, except for the son who will be ambitious in the future, he is very tolerant of his wife and children, but he has no opinion on being too wasteful, but the women of the Xie family are influenced by men, and they are never extravagant and happy.
framed Zhongliang and sat down, she ran away without any guilt.
Gu Wan took two breaths and immediately ran out with a thank you.
The wind in the wilderness is very strong, the Tieji Temple is halfway up the mountain, the military exercise ground is built according to the foothills, the nearby towns are large and small, but in general the population density is much lower than that in the city, the overwhelming snow, covering the yellow grass that has fallen into ruin, plain white wrapped in black branches and rocks, the fields and rolling hills and mountains are all submerged into darkness.
The two staggered out wildly, Gu Wan hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to carry you?" β
The physical fitness of the original owner is actually okay, the people of Dawei are open, riding horse polo is one of the daily entertainment of the nobles, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is the gate, the girls have practiced a few times to strengthen their bodies, the original owner first defected to the Xie family in order to please the likes of the Xie family, it was very hard work, but later found that the Xie family was really good to her, and she didn't practice for a few years.
Her weakness is temperament, not body, and her foundation is very good.
Gu Wan graduated from the Criminal Police Academy, although he did not become a forensic doctor in the end, but fighting grappling and physical training were compulsory courses back then, and she also studied sanda for more than ten years before going to college, the teacher was a little old man, and she liked her very much.
Gu Wan tucked the long knife back into his belt and weighed it, feeling that he should still be able to carry it.
Xie Ci was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways, the wind and snow roared and blew the snow, hitting the messy hair and body of the people around her, her face was dirty, but a pair of eyes reflected the snow, which was exceptionally bright.
Thanksgiving for a while, there was a heat rushing up his eyes, and his dizzy body that was about to collapse seemed to have some strength back, he didn't know how to express it, and after a while, he shook his head weakly: "...... No, I'm okay. β
If Gu Wan carried him on his back, their speed would be reduced by more than half.
Xie Ci raised his head and looked around the vast field, the black and cold wind was howling, strange but familiar, he went in and out of the military exercise field, he had galloped through countless times here, and the terrain here was even more familiar to him than the newly relocated prison army outside the Tieji Temple.
"Go forward, it is Yungang Mountain and then Aoling, and the foothills are all hills, all the way to Pingxiang and Baili Outer Ring County. Five miles to the southeast, seven or eight miles to the west is the river, and the streams and rivers in the area of the Tieji Temple are all flowing in the direction of Yungang Tangquan Palace, and they do not end all year round in winter. β¦β¦β
The voice of the thank you was weak, and he remembered to carefully talk about the terrain of this area.
As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.
The scenery is still the same, and the people are unusual.
Gu Wan thought for a moment, at this moment she and Xie Ci did not enter the darkness, she pulled him deep and ran behind the snow stack of the big rock, the sound of the military boots falling behind him and the light of the torches had converged under the high wall, and the sound of the roar came along the whistling north wind, and was quickly chasing after them.
She glanced back, and the messy footprints on the snow below her knees were so clear that they couldn't be clear.
As soon as the torch shines, you can immediately catch up with the traces.
Gu Wan and Xie Ci glanced at each other, the two gritted their teeth and accelerated, and ran in a circle in the direction of the road on the other side.
The suburbs are not sparsely populated, the Tieji Temple is even more incense, it coincides with the first month, there are countless believers who grab the first incense and come to worship, stepping out of the big roads and small roads, Gu Wan is engaged in investigation, she is good at reconnaissance, of course, she is also good at counter-investigation, if you immediately enter the mountain in spring and summer to get out, it will be half the success, but unfortunately now it is snowy in winter.
She immediately abandoned her entry into the mountain, and rushed out of the foothills along the path that the woodcutter had trodden out, walking on the undulating gentle hills and plains.
It was dark, her feet were frozen and unconscious, Xie Ci's face was pale, fortunately, the blood was no longer flowing up, the wound didn't know whether it was congealed or frozen, his hands were like ice, but he struggled to stay awake, stood up as much as possible and walked by himself, lightening the burden on Gu Guan.
Gu Guanshen went straight to the direction of the hot spring river with one shallow foot, and the river water was not frozen, which was really good.
She walked as fast as she could, and began to find some places where no one had stepped on to deliberately leave messy footprints, but in fact, there was no need to pretend, the two of them staggered, and the footprints left behind were not in shape.
Gu Wan didn't know that his face was as white as paper.
Cold and hungry, the original owner has been pampered for many years, and she is supported by willpower.
Finally ran to the river.
Gu Wan squatted down, rubbed his hands and feet a few times, and soon left traces of jumping into the river, and then immediately turned back with Xie Ci the same way, and rushed all the way east along the shallow snow at the base of the rock cliff.
Gu Wan broke an unknown miscellaneous branch with dense broken branches, and while walking, he kept sweeping back, the cold wind was blowing, rolling up the fine snow powder and puffing it down, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't find the footprints here.
The two of them finally came to the end of the cliff, and there was a grotto in it, and the two of them went into it.
This is provided by the thanks, the year before last he and the fat boys got into trouble, was beaten by their respective families and ran away from home, it was in this cave for three days, he knew that this cave also had an exit, leading to the other side of this small cliff.
They finally broke free from the large force of pursuers.
β¦β¦
Now, only small strands remain.
The prison officer who commanded the pursuit of the escaped prisoner had some skills, and quickly linked the sick prisoner with the fire, and quickly ordered someone to close the inner door urn to catch the turtle.
The pursuers soon chased to the river, and a large number of prison soldiers pursued downstream, and after a fruitless pursuit, they quickly ordered to scatter their men, set up cards, and divided into detachments to follow the snow to find traces.
Gu Wan and Xie Ci gave up the road, sat down in the cave and gasped for a while, not daring to stay longer, and immediately rushed across the mountain to the other end.
It had now been more than an hour since they left the wall, and two or three hours before dawn came, and they had to get rid of their pursuers before dawn.
The two of them noticed a small group of pursuers and immediately avoided them carefully, but fortunately, the dark clouds swirled for half the night, and finally re-accumulated, and thin snowflakes drifted down.
Gu Wan was overjoyed: "Great!
The heavier the snow, the better it will be for them!
It's just that there are pros and cons, the road is more difficult to walk, colder, Xie Ci's face is as blue as a dead man, and his hand is like a popsicle, Gu Wan is very worried that he won't be able to support it, the two of them are tired and thirsty, but no one dares to eat snow, "Are you okay?" Otherwise, I'll carry you on my back! β
Gu Wan looked at him with horror, and couldn't help but say that he snatched the dead branch that he used as a crutch, the dead branch was bloodstained, he pinched his palm hard and blood came out, Gu Wan shook his head, and without saying a word, he copied the crook of his leg and carried him up.
It's heavy!
He looked thin, his body was solid but very heavy in martial arts practice all year round, Gu Wan was almost pressed by him, but fortunately, she was mentally prepared and withstood it.
She tightened her long knife and walked forward with a few strokes of her staff, a little familiar, and began to pick up speed.
Xie Ci lay on her back, and at the end of the crossbow, he muttered a moment around his neck, and finally lay his head on her back.
Gu Guanshen walked for more than half an hour, some couldn't support it, thanked him, the two of them walked with each other, rested for a while, she carried him on his back again, and so on.
It was almost dawn when the snow stopped again, and the two finally bypassed the mountain.
But on the eve of the two crossing the road and the town, and getting out of the town in sight, the two were finally found!
A group of twenty or so cavalrymen went around the main road, turned around and looked for the direction they were coming from, and they met them head-on!
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly appeared, Gu Guan's heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly put down his thanks. The two of them ran and jumped into the ravine next to the road!
After going around the mountain, although it merges into the town to get out and look again, it is also unobstructed, and the frozen ravine is the only place where you can hide.
But they were finally discovered!
The sky was bright, the snow stopped, and the faint light of the sky reflected the snow, and the leader of the cavalry kept scanning the distance and near, and soon noticed the traces of the crumbling snow.
Gu Wan heard the horse stop, and the footsteps appeared and rushed straight to this side, she couldn't help but scold!
Damn it!
She hurriedly got up, bent her body, and when the footsteps were about to step on the edge of the ravine, "Ah-", Gu Wan jumped up!
A roundabout kick hit the leader in the head, who fell to the ground on the spot and fainted.
There were twelve people, and the team split into two, and searched separately on both sides.
Gu Wan's eyes were sharp, and she saw a person on the edge pulling out a ringing arrow, she just landed and pounced to the left, the tip of the knife was picked, and with a kick, the arrow flew up, she pounced and grabbed it, and threw it in the direction of thanks.
"What a little girl! Looking for deathβ"
The one who grabbed the arrow was the squad leader, who was kicked out of his nose and scolded, eight. Nine people immediately surrounded Gu Guan.
Gu Wan swallowed, she was cold, hungry, exhausted, and most importantly, she hadn't killed anyone with her own hands. At the moment of life and death, she put down three or four, and the rest were all big men who were even bigger than her, and they were wary of her leg work.
Gu Guan opened the opponent's knife, and was kicked in the back, she pounced on the squad leader's body, and a person behind him pounced on her, and the swords of the three people were all knocked off, rolling down the frozen stream along the snow mound bones.
With the sound of footsteps behind her, Gu Wan took out a dagger and put it on the other party's neck, but at the moment of cutting, she couldn't help but pause!
But at such a moment, it was just a very small meal, Gu Guan's state was not easy to be one-to-many, barely peaceful and put the enemy on her side as much as possible, such a meal, the other party seized the opportunity, immediately pushed backhanded, pulled out the boot dagger, and stabbed Gu Wan hard!
Gu Wan immediately struggled and turned over, kicked with his backfoot, and poked hard, but one person pounced on her and held down her two long legs that knocked them down.
Gu Wan was suppressed, he couldn't break free for a while, and his life was on the line!
It was at this time.
"Ahhh
Xie Ci suddenly broke out, a snow-colored sword light flashed brightly, and the sound of the sword blade cutting through the throat into the flesh suddenly burst into the snow!
- As long as you kill the pursuers, you are a real escaped prisoner, and even if you are wrongfully imprisoned, you can't wash it.
But at this last moment, seeing Gu Wan being pressed to the ground, Xie Ci still struggled to get up.
His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bruised, and he was obviously unable to get up at the end of the crossbow, but at this last moment, he drank vigorously, and suddenly burst out with a burst of mental strength, and jumped up into the sky, and the three or four people who had barely supported him before immediately fell to the ground.
The whirlwind of thanks, the sword light was like a silver waterfall, extremely cold, and the armored guards who rushed towards Gu Wan only felt a chill in their throats, ran two steps forward, covered their throats, widened their eyes, and blood gushed out!
Fall to the ground.
Xie Ci's extremely beautiful eyes were red, and his young handsome face was sprayed with blood, so he picked up the person who stabbed Gu Wan and sealed his throat with a sword! And the one on her lap.
Gu Wan was also covered with blood, she immediately got up, and the two looked at each other panting.
Xie Ci said in a dumb voice: "... Let's go. β
"Okay, okay."
Xie Ci's eyes were astringent, and his hands were trembling, but he clenched his sword tightly and rushed into the wind and snow with Gu Guan.
β¦β¦
The snow came down again at some point, and the flakes were fluttering.
The wind squeezed the snow and pounced on them in the face.
Hand in hand, the two men rushed across the main road, through the town, and ran far, far away.
The two finally stopped, and fell to the snow.
When he knelt on the ground, he began to cry.
Blood and tears flowed down together.
He propped his hands on the ground, choked at first, and then cried.
The Xie family has been loyal and good for generations, but today he not only escaped from prison and became a fugitive, but he also killed the military mission.
Gu Wan was beside him, she paused for a long time, straightened up and slowly patted him on the shoulder, he lay on her shoulder, Gu Wan felt hot tears flowing down her collarbone flesh.
She knew how it felt, she had twin brothers, who had the same ambition since childhood, but when he was fourteen years old, he broke his leg in a car accident and couldn't walk fast.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, irreparable, no matter how hard you try, you can't change it.
The thank-you speech is much more serious.
Gu Wan sighed softly, she knew that all the comfort was so pale and weak now, she didn't speak, only silently followed his shoulder.
