Chapter 017: Fleeing All the Way and Holding on to Faith
Wang Ruoli knows very well that this is not the time to rest, although the great man is dead, there is still the foxy woman who has not returned from buying food, but I have heard it before, this couple is a high-level cultivation in the Qi cultivation period, and he is by no means an opponent, not to mention that now his situation is bad, and it is even more difficult to support.
Wang Ruoli's feet were still tied, and his body was weak, so he could only move to the big sword of the great man with difficulty, gritted his teeth, and kicked with both feet. Fortunately, the big sword was very sharp, and it was inserted into the doorpost of the grass hut with a pop.
Wang Ruoli was overjoyed, moved to the side of the big sword again, sat on his back and raised his feet, and cut the rope on the blade of the big sword.
The feet were finally free, Wang Ruoli felt a lot more at ease, but as soon as he touched the ground, not only his legs and feet were weak, but there was also a numbness that hit him, and he almost fell to the ground.
Wang Ruoli leaned against the doorpost and looked around, the great man's sword was too heavy, and he had no hands to hold the sword, and the weapon could be abandoned; the carriage was still there, but the two horses had already been unleashed and tied to the palm tree on the side, with his current legs, feet and hands, not to mention riding a horse, it was difficult to even get on a horse, and the horse could also give up.
After looking around, Wang Ruoli found that there was nothing to use, although he was disappointed at the moment, he did not hesitate, took a deep breath of turbidity, and stumbled towards the forest.
It was raining fresh this afternoon, the woods were deep, and the sun was not allowed to shine directly, Wang Ruoli walked in the forest, although it was night and covered by leaves, but unfortunately the soil was soft, and the footprints were particularly obvious.
Wang Ruoli leaned against a big tree and saw a small stream in front of him, flowing water.
The body was too tired, Wang Ruoli calmed down his breath, and looked back, at this time, it was as moonlight as silver, and the small grass hut was faintly visible in the distance, and then he found that he had tried his best, but he had only walked a few hundred steps, how could this be good? With the speed at which he escaped, once the fox woman came back, it was estimated that it would only take half an hour to catch up with him.
The most dangerous place is the safest place, fight!
Wang Ruo decided to take a gamble, and the fox girl had not returned yet!
So, Wang Ruoli kicked off his two slightly broken boots on the rocks by the stream, and then stepped on his previous footprints and walked back to the grass hut step by step.
Fortunately, the fox girl had not come back at this time, Wang Ruoli quickly observed the small grass hut, and found that the grass hut was less than four meters long and less than three meters wide, and the space was too narrow, except for the simple tables, chairs and beds, there was no place to hide!
No, this is the only place in the room where you can hide, it's too obvious, it's too risky.
Wang Ruoli thought left and right, condensed his strength, jumped from the door, jumped onto the grass next to the house, stumbled, fell into the messy grass, and did not care about the pain, straightened his waist, slowly stood up, wiped the weeds with his feet, and prevented leaving traces.
It turns out that the four walls of the small grass house are erected with trees, and the gaps of the wooden frame are piled up with hay, but it is too simple, and the four sides are still leaking, but there is still a small pile of hay behind the house, which should be left when the grass house is erected, and it is spread out among the weeds horizontally and vertically, if you don't go around to the back of the grass house, you can't see it at all.
Wang Ruoli exerted his last bit of strength, walked slowly on the grass with his feet, and while walking, he straightened out the grass back to its original state, and when he walked to the haystack, he was already sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of stars, so he lay down on the hay, and did not forget to pull the hay with his feet, in order to cover his body.
As soon as I finished my busy work here, I heard the sound of footsteps in the grass hut in front of me, but it was the fox woman who came back.
"Afei...... Afei ...... How are you......" I only heard the woman's cry of pain, and I should have noticed that something was wrong, so I dropped the bamboo basket and ran quickly, and saw the great man dead on the ground.
The fox woman caressed the corpse and was sad for a while, and suddenly her body rose up, and she looked around with her sword, and saw that the horses and carriages were there, and went to the grass hut to look at it for a week, and raised her sword to split the bed in half, and she couldn't search for it inside and outside, and at first glance saw a row of footprints, and followed the depths of the forest leading to the front, and hurriedly raised her sword and chased straight away.
Wang Ruo was far away from hearing the fox woman, but he didn't dare to move, lest the other party kill him. There were no trees around the small grass hut, Wang Ruoli quietly looked up at the position of the stars in the sky through the cracks in the hay, carefully distinguished, and realized that the grass hut he was in should be sitting south and facing north.
Wang Ruoli couldn't help but think that the couple would take themselves from Jingxiang in the north all the way to the south to Qinan, if they wanted to escape, the first choice would definitely be to go north, flee back to Jingxiang, once they fled to the branch or shop of the Wang family in the town, they would basically be rescued.
It's just that she thinks like this, and the fox woman will definitely think about it this way, and with her own steps, she will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the fox woman.
It seems that he can only go the other way, all the way to the south, fortunately, the direction of the panic escape just now is just to the north, and the boot clues left by the stream, I hope to mislead the fox woman for a little time!
The night is deeper, and an hour should have passed, and the fox woman has not returned, so she guesses that she should be chasing away.
Wang Ruoli knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, the body of the great man was still lying in front of the door, and the foxy woman would come back sooner or later, and once he came back and found a clue or the sky was bright, then he would have no chance to escape.
Wang Ruoli sat up straight, got up from the haystack, and tidied up the haystack with his feet.
Although I have rested for so long, my stomach is empty, my body is weak, and the situation is even worse than before.
Thinking that not long ago, the fox girl came back, she should have brought wine and food, and she was in a hurry, maybe she would scatter the ground, but this from the back of the house to the open space in front of the door, it will inevitably leave footprints again, and there will be branches on the side.
Wang Ruoli gritted his teeth and endured it.
Wang Ruoli stepped on the grass and leaves behind the small grass hut, and tried to light his steps as lightly as possible, but unfortunately his body was too damaged, and it was still difficult to walk, not to mention that he had to pay attention from time to time along the way, and try to cover up some footsteps.
Wang Ruoli only knew that he was walking with a belief, and he couldn't stop at this time, and once he stopped, he was afraid that he would never be able to move his steps again.
Walking in the dense forest with such difficulty, Wang Ruoli only felt that he was so tired and tired.
At this time, the night is deeper and darker, and it may be the darkness before dawn.
Wang Ruoli couldn't see clearly whether it was a tree or a stone in front of him, but he just walked forward step by step by relying on his will, and suddenly, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell forward.
It turned out that there was a big river in front of it, but the river was wide and the water flow was gentle, and there was not much sound of flowing water, but the bottom of the river was very deep.
The cool river water made Wang Ruo's originally almost weak will sober up most of the time, and he didn't care about how much splash he made when he slipped into the river, only knowing that if he was trapped in the river and had no countermeasures, he was afraid that he would not die in the hands of the fox woman, but would be drowned by the river.
Wang Ruo knew that if he was in the water, if he didn't struggle indiscriminately, his body would not sink too fast, and he didn't dare to move at the moment, and the pain in his hands was unbearable at this time, but a pair of tired and weak feet could be remedied, and the soles of his feet kicked down a few times, so that his face and nose were exposed to the water, and he only had time to take a small breath before sinking into the water, which was a little choking and uncomfortable.
At present, there is no other way but to kick the water again and again and breathe on the surface of the water.
The sky is dark, Wang Ruo is in the water, he can't tell where is the shore, even if he knows that it is the shore, with his physical condition at this time, he can't climb up at all, the only possibility is to look forward to the downstream of the river can have mud and sand beaches and the like, the water potential is relatively flat, but such a section of the river, can he be so lucky to catch up with the shore?
Wang Ruoli drifted all the way down the river, and he didn't know if he missed a certain river beach during the rafting, but he insisted on it with a survival instinct.
When it's dark and the water is big, I can't tell the direction in the water, and sometimes I think I'm always moving in the same direction, but in fact, I may just be spinning in the river. Wang Ruoli naturally won't waste his efforts, but just insisted on ventilating again and again, insisting on his desire for life.
The dawn seemed to come very late, and he didn't know how long he had been floating in the river, until Wang Ruoli found that the river water under him had turned into a grain of fine sand, and he understood that he had hope for life!
There should be a shallow beach under his body, Wang Ruoli exerted his last strength from the soles of his feet, kicked the mud and sand under his feet, let his body expose the water, and leaned on the mud and sand on the beach step by step.
The river hit the small waves on the beach again and again, gently hitting the soles of Wang Ruoli's feet, but Wang Ruoli didn't care anymore, he was too tired and tired, and the tense emotions in his heart were temporarily relaxed at this moment, and he fell asleep directly by the river.
