Chapter 2 Stealing a living
There is an indescribable weirdness in the back mountain of the summer night, followed by the occasional wolf howl or two, accompanied by a whimper before death. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The night sky was clear, but it gradually became darker. The dense woods, in the eyes of the dogs of the past, are troubles and wrestling. Today, it is an important guarantee for his survival.
Sure enough, I still can't escape, my father said he would take me out, but he died. This damn place, this damn origin. If you were born in Qishan, your fate would be different. The dog baby curled up in a small tree hollow, praying to the mountain god and wild ghosts to protect him from being discovered by the Qin army. If you were born in Qishan, the place where King Wu started, you don't have to be scared all day long, if you were born in that place, my father wouldn't have to escape with me in the middle of the night, and I wouldn't have died, and my mother wouldn't have died of dystocia a few years ago because there was no medicine. --- thought about it, and the dog's tears dripped down one by one.
You can't cry, if you cry, you'll have to die if you're discovered. The dog bit her lower lip until blood dripped from her lower lip. The whimper that came to his lips was swallowed. The salty taste of tears mixed with the salty taste of blood turned into a bitter fishy smell.
The light in the woods gradually faded, and it seemed that the Qin army with torches had slowly searched deeper. From time to time, there was a click, and I don't know who stepped on a dead branch.

"Dog, dog, I'm your father, open the door quickly" The wind blew in through the broken window paper, as if like a viscous spider web, netting the dog's thoughts. The sound outside the door seems to be far away in the sky, and it seems to be all within reach.
"Daddy?" the dog baby replied vaguely. Shaking his body, he dragged his straw sandals towards the door.
"Come and open the door, I'll take you out, Widow Li at the entrance of the village is so good-looking" There was a giggling sound at the door, like a man and a woman.
"Who is it?" the dog baby felt that the headache was about to burst, but she couldn't open her eyes wide. He stumbled and slowly moved to the door: "Who, you don't let people sleep in the middle of the night."
"I'm your father, open the door quickly, I'll take you to a good place" Hearing the sound outside, the dog baby suddenly felt an indescribable chill gushing out from the bottom of his heart, but the night wind blew him without even a trace of vigilance.
Squeak, a crack opened in the old wooden door, and a wizened hand reached through the door, trying to pull him out. The hand was cold and piercing, gripping his hand like a copper pincer. In an instant, it was like a basin of cold water pouring down from the Heavenly Spirit Cover. His eyes widened in horror as he looked into the widening slit.
The face that is close at hand, that is... The dog's face instantly distorted: "Help! You're not my father!
A half-rotted face poked out of the door, and a sharp arrow shot through the back of the head and out of the mouth. The mouth of the carrion corpse full of maggots opened and closed: "Dog baby, go, Dad will take you to a good place, Dad will take you out"
"Ahh Before I knew it, the sun had risen, and the rays of sunlight shone through the dense shade of the trees, dappling the ground.
Those Qin troops should have already left. The dog baby stood up, and the activity activity was already a little numb body. Suddenly, the dog's whole body froze. On the edge of the root of the tree were a few small pieces of gold. That was the gold that should have been in the old man's arms! The rising sun could not resist the chill in the dog's heart. He subconsciously ran away. After running a few steps, he turned back and picked up the gold on the ground. He turned around again and ran away.
I don't know how far I ran, the dog Wayou was frightened, and the chill in her heart was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, lingering.
Who is it, I obviously watched my father being shot to death by Qin Jun's sharp arrows. How could a dead man come and hand me something. If his father hadn't died, why would he have to leave the gold alone? What was the dream I had last night? The biting coldness and the tremendous strength of the wizened hands.
The dog raised his wrist, and three or four bright red finger marks were imprinted on his wrist! He grew his mouth in horror, but he couldn't say anything. Not a dream, not a dream!
In an instant, the world was spinning, and the person fainted again.
According to the old legend in the village, this place, known as the back mountain, is the most obscure place in Weishui. Countless people and animals drown and are dumped every year along the river. These people and things that died in vain cannot be reincarnated or leaved. The corpses in the water, transformed into water ghosts, look for their prey at all times, dragging them into the water. And the last breath in their chests turned into one after another resentment, and they were brought here by Weishui. So the trees here are exceptionally luxuriant, and the air is exceptionally cold. Since the immortals who live in the fairy cave have also drifted away, this place has completely become a heavenly mansion for demons and a blessed land for ghosts.
The people who died in the village were buried in the front mountain. And this mountain γγγ not bury the well-being of the future generations, but only the disasters of the present world.
Here, it is also called by the old man: the place of corpses!

The rain just went down, from a trickle to a pouring rain. The raindrops that could be sheltered by the treetops have gradually turned into waterlines, and then into streams.
The dog baby just curled up under a big banyan tree
Today is the third day of the escape, and it used to take only two hours to walk, but now it is so long. The trail to the valley has been trampled into a muddy avenue. No birds, no frogs. There was only the sound of torrential rain falling on the leaves and mud.
I haven't eaten for two days, and the dog's body is not healthy enough, and now it is even worse. The initial fear and panic gradually turned into numbness and curiosity in the past two days. Numbness, the numbness of the way to escape, curiosity, curiosity about how the Qin army could find them. It stands to reason that only the father and son know about the old man's wooden birds, and only the father and son know about the caves in this valley. That cave was discovered behind a dense vine when the old man went up the mountain to collect medicine. The mountain bears that originally lived in it had long since turned into a pile of dry bones and died inside.
The hidden cave has since become a paradise for the father and son to take refuge in the village. Every few days, father and son would take a day out to hide there, thinking about nothing, talking about nothing, just lying there quietly together. It was as if at that moment, I was far away from the miserable life of the past. The peace at that moment also became the motivation for the father and son to survive in this troubled world. People's energy is always limited, and if they are tense for too long, if they do not get relaxation and rest, they will definitely collapse. They've seen so much madness. The family **** and the disaster to the township are almost normal.
It shouldn't be discovered, after all, the whole village has lived here for generations, and the only people who found the cave were their father and son.
Escape there, find the woodbird, escape.
I can't wait any longer, and if I wait any longer, maybe I really won't have a chance to escape. The dog baby looked around and found the right direction. Just rushed out in the rain.
When he came to the valley, the slanting sun was still about to reach the end of the mountain, and the whole valley was filled with a white and rich mist, and a few birdsongs occasionally carved this place, almost like a fairyland.
There are still four or five miles, and if you cross the creek in front of you, you might be able to get closer. But his body didn't allow him to do that. The hunger and fatigue of the past few days are almost overwhelmed. In the mountains in the middle of summer, there are no wild fruits to satisfy hunger.
The dog baby dragged her tired body towards the place where hope burned in her heart. If you accidentally fall, you only need to take a little breather to calm down, then struggle to get up and continue walking. Get out, you must get out
Fortunately, the Qin army a few days ago was no longer there, which allowed him to get a little respite in the process of fleeing in fear.
He kept walking, and walking, and when he felt that the road ahead seemed endless, he finally came to the mouth of the cave.
At the moment of entering the cave, the sun finally burned out his last rays, and the sky was completely darkened without warning. The dog touched the stone wall and moved deeper into the cave little by little. Fortunately, it's good that Qin Jun hasn't discovered this place yet. The dog baby couldn't help but feel a little happy when she was tired.
As he walked, he suddenly kicked something under his feet, and the already exhausted dog fell to the ground with a muffled snort. The dog reflexively touched the object that tripped him. When he touched it, the hairs of the whole person exploded. Is it personalγγγ
A man lay there quietly, leaning against the wall of the cave, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. The dog baby climbed a few steps back. It was at this time that his eyes slowly adjusted to the dark scene in the cave.
The dog baby blinked her eyes a few times, and gradually saw the scene in front of her clearly.
This person was wearing the bamboo armor of the Qin army, his hair was scattered, and the short sword that should have been in his hand also fell to the ground in the distance. Judging from his stiff body and slightly rancid breath, the man must have been dead for two or three days.
Perhaps, this is the Qin army who entered the valley to search the mountains in the early stage, but they died here for some reason
The dog got up with a shudder and collapsed over the corpse. Picking up the short sword on the ground, he stabbed the corpse leaning against the cave wall, and after making sure that he was dead and could no longer die, he shivered and slowly groped into the depths of the cave.
