Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

After leaving their sight, Magu speeded up and ran towards the light of the settlement.

There are a total of two to three hundred households in the village, arranged in clusters. The houses are wooden shacks that are very common in Daru, with a layer of suspended feet underneath to prevent moisture. They are entrenched on a flat open space, adjacent to the A shallow stream.

He carefully observed along the outer area, through the black vines, he could see the blurred fires in front of and behind the house, a group of people in the village were gathering by the stream, chatting around a bonfire, the wind blew this way, The smell of barbecue wafted through his nostrils, making Magu scratch his heart and lungs.He restrained himself and carefully looked at the group of people one by one. He didn't see the appearance of a soldier, nor did he find any suspicious traces, so he grabbed the mud to paste the tattoo on his neck, walked in generously, and started fighting. hello.

The villagers didn't seem hostile to strangers. When they heard that he was a refugee fleeing from the war, they became more enthusiastic. They immediately pulled him to sit down and offered him food and drink.

When Magu saw the food, his eyes were straightened, and he forgot everything at once, and started to gobble it up left and right.The freshly roasted meat was scalding from his mouth all the way down the esophagus to his stomach. He stuck out his tongue and panted heavily, unable to speak out.

Before the meat was finished, the villagers handed over homemade fruit wine. Magu's mouth was full of greasy oil, and it was just when he was so bored that he felt sick. When he took a sip of cold food, he immediately felt refreshed, and unconsciously craved a few more glasses .But he didn't know that the wine tasted sweet, but it had a lot of stamina, so it quickly hit his head.

Magu's brain became more and more sluggish, but his body felt very satisfied, and the tension, fear and exhaustion of the past few days were swept away.At this moment, he was very sure that he still had to return to his normal life. Even if he couldn't be a domineering villain, he would be a good-for-nothing. He came out and redeemed his old debts, so he didn't come here to break through the next hell.

Junliu, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to betray you on purpose, to be honest, I've done my best to send you here.This road is really dangerous, think about it, I don’t have to go to die with you, as a friend, I can help if I can, but it’s not worth losing my life.

But don't worry, let's get together and leave, I will leave cleanly after eating and drinking, and I will never cause you any trouble.

Dizzy, he made up his wishful thinking, and immediately felt relieved. Taking advantage of the lively chatting and laughing with the villagers, he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses.

Magu didn't know when he fell drunk. He slept soundly all night, and when he woke up, it was already twilight, surrounded by the ashes and leftovers of the bonfire.He belched, and the smell of fermented wine came out of his mouth, and the stench was so strong that he frowned.The back of his clothes was soaked in the night dew on the muddy floor, and his heart was wet and cold. He just wanted to turn over, but he couldn't move at all.

He opened his eyes suspiciously, only to find that his whole body was bound up and down.A few indifferent faces of the surrounding villagers were looking down at him condescendingly. The warm fire light reflected on their faces at night faded away, leaving only the gloomy green faces now.

Ma Gu was startled and woke up from the hangover.

"Thanks to the war, there have been a lot of smugglers like you recently," one of the gray-bearded old men said cheerfully. He was holding an automatic pistol in one hand. Holding a dagger, it was all found from Ma Gu, "Give you to the border guards, and we can get some rewards again."

"You guys..." Magu stared at their malicious faces, and suddenly collapsed, he didn't expect that he was too happy, and the result was bad retribution so quickly.He struggled twice and couldn't get away, so he simply gave in and said, "Please forgive me, everyone is a miserable person, why bother each other? I will give you all the money on my body."

"Do you still need to speak?" Another man with a missing front tooth smiled shamelessly, shaking the money in his hand, "I searched it for you a long time ago."

"You have to be thankful that you brought so much money. When we saw it happy, we didn't have the heart to kill you. If the stowaways we caught before had nothing on them, they would all be slaughtered for meat."

Magu thought of the big feast last night, and suddenly his stomach was overwhelmed, why didn't he think of it?No livestock was seen in the village at all. Where did the meat come from?Even if it was hunted, how could the village be willing to let go of it and let outsiders eat it with such a poor way?And the big jug of wine was poured for him, and no one else touched it.

Thinking back now, there were flaws everywhere, he was so obsessed with ghosts that he didn't realize it at all.

Magu forcefully pressed the overturned food back into his stomach, his nerves were not so delicate, since he ate it, he couldn't waste it.

Then he made a quick calculation: If it falls into the hands of the border guards, let alone how serious the crime of smuggling is, just look at the tattoo on his neck, and he will be found to be a major criminal immediately. If the investigation continues , the case of him killing someone in the outer zone may surface.

Magu rolled his eyes, feeling that he must be a jerk.

"Listen, let's make a deal, okay?" He said with a big smile on his face, "I'm telling you, I'm not the only stowaway, I have a few friends who came with me, and when I went into the village to find food, they Waiting for me outside, they escaped with all their belongings, and they have more valuable things on them, which is enough for all of you to make a small fortune. If you are willing to let me go, I will take you there. "

The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and after pressing him for some details, they hurriedly called all the strong laborers together for a small meeting. Not long after, the old man with the style of the village chief made a final decision, let's go!

The greedy villagers immediately took up their knives, guns and sticks, and swarmed out of the village. Magu was pushed to the front to lead the way, his hands were tied behind his back, and the rope left a long tail, which was firmly held by the people behind to prevent him run away.

Magu secretly sighed a few times, then bit the bullet and walked in the direction he came from.He felt that he was a little shameless by doing this, and he would probably feel ashamed when he saw Junliu, but he didn't think it would have such serious consequences for them. With the skills of those special forces, it was not easy to deal with this gang of mobs ?

Since Magu went to the village, Junliu and the others waited in place until midnight, which has greatly exceeded the time agreed with each other.

"Is he in trouble?" Junliu dozed off, and asked anxiously before seeing Magu came back, "Should we take a look?"

"I don't think he will come back." Yan Liang had already had a premonition in his heart, and now he made a conclusion unceremoniously: "He and we are not in the same way, and he should have planned to get rid of us a long time ago. Seeing such a good opportunity, I must have run away now, but we are still waiting like fools until now.”

The atmosphere became more solemn, and Ka Suo couldn't help but frowned deeply, "If he is really the kind of person who abandons his companions in order to protect himself, he just ran away. He has another way out, and we can't force him to live with us." We are afraid that if he is captured by the enemy, he will reveal our whereabouts."

"Then let's stay here and wait for death." Yan Liang said decisively, "We can't wait any longer, we must move quickly."

"This is just your guess." Junliu stood up, unwilling to believe this fact from the bottom of his heart, and reasoned hard, "What if there are enemy soldiers ambushing in the village, revealing his identity, and controlling him? We left just like that, aren't we the ones who abandoned our companions?"

"Junliu, don't be annoying! You don't really want to be buried with your conscience, do you? I don't want to argue with you what happened to him, and whose judgment is right, it's all nonsense. The fact now is that beyond He hasn't come back at the appointed time, we can't wait indefinitely, and we can't be so stupid as to bear the consequences, which will be too serious for you to regret. We have to play by the rules, shall we?"

Yan Liang's tone was very irritable, as if he was suddenly stepped into a minefield by the other party.Sometimes he really can't stand Junliu, this inherent kindness makes his teeth itch, making people want to seize every opportunity to sarcasm.

Ka Suo didn't know why Yan Liang was so angry. Although the words were not pleasant, he agreed with this point of view.The reason why people must abide by the rules is because the rules come from experience, and experience can avoid risks to the greatest extent.

Junliu was choked to death by him on the spot, and he couldn't find a reason to refute.He glanced around and saw that other people remained silent, and no one was on his side, so he could only agree to retreat in full pack.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!" Yan Liang pushed him impatiently.

After another person was lost in the team, the group dragged their weary steps into the bushes and quickly disappeared.

Just over half an hour later, a gunshot came from a distance without warning. The sharp and crisp sound cut through the glued darkness and echoed in the night sky for a long time, becoming the only command in this ten thousand mu rainforest. The hunters and prey among them all suddenly became energetic.

The gunshots followed one after another, and soon filled all the channels of hearing. The echoes rippled and overlapped among the tree canopies, gradually connecting into an intense symphony.

After the early morning sun cleared away the fog, Magu lowered his head and led a group of eager men behind him to find the place where the team was staying. They turned around but saw no one.

The villagers thought they had been tricked, and rushed forward to punch and kick him. Magu backed away in pain, and yelled loudly while hiding, "Stop, I'm not lying! Look, there are footprints all over the ground! They must If you can't wait for me, I will leave first, take a closer look!"

He staggered, his back hit a tree, and there was no way to retreat.The old and vigorous village chief pushed aside the crowd, raised a dagger and poked him under the eyes, and asked ferociously, "What do you mean by coaxing us out to nothing?"

"Don't worry, they definitely didn't go far." Magu didn't dare to act rashly, and forced himself to say calmly, "Let's catch up, and we will catch up soon. If you can't catch up, you will teach me a lesson!"

The stinging pain suddenly intensified, a cut was made in the thin skin, and the blood flowed down to the tip of the knife. The village head's eyes were as big as copper bells, like a threat, and then he slowly moved the dagger away, Shake off the blood on it.

Magu was pushed and continued to walk forward. He noticed the messy marks on the muddy ground and couldn't help cursing secretly.

Although I had a different heart first, didn't this group of people leave quite simply!The sliver of guilt he had been harboring earlier dissipated in no time.

I don't know when they left?If I had left early, I would have been [-] to [-] kilometers away in one night, and even if I had four legs, I wouldn't be able to catch up.

It seems that asking them for help is hopeless, and I have to think of a way to get out.While walking, Ma Gu pondered, his head was overwhelmed and he had no inspiration, his mind was so full of this important matter that he didn't realize the strangeness under his feet until a long time later.

There were splashes of deep black spot-like stains on the wet soil, extending intermittently, and the black spots all had a pointed front end, as if they were sprinkled while moving at high speed.

It was blood, and there was a lot of it.Magu's heart immediately lifted, and he hurriedly looked around.But his sight was blocked by the dense shade of trees and vines. He didn't notice anything else at the moment, but he saw something strange beside a bush. It seemed that someone had wrestled violently here, blood stains rolled everywhere, and the crushed The branches and leaves seem to be full of dark red fruits.

Ma Gu swallowed his saliva, slowed down his pace, and walked forward anxiously, seeing more and more blood on the ground, gradually accumulating into pools of blood, he couldn't help feeling horrified.

He intuited that something was wrong, Junliu and the others must have encountered an accident.

After bypassing a thick bush in front of him, he stopped abruptly. The first thing he saw was a large piece of shocking blood, which splashed and dyed the trunk of a pachybark tree red, dripping on the ground. Hanging on its parasitic tassel.There is a person curled up under the tree, no, it is not so much curled up as it is twisted into a ball.

The villagers who followed him obviously also saw the scene in front of them, and they were all frightened and stopped, staying in place.Magu's heart beat violently, he deliberately took two deep breaths, prepared himself for the worst, and then walked over.

After getting closer, he realized that there was another person lying on the opposite side of this person covered in blood. Before the shock was over, he caught sight of a pair of people dragging outside the grass from the corner of his eye. hands and feet.

Ma Gu only took a few fixed eyes, and judged that the dead were not Junliu, so he was slightly relieved.

He turned the person under the tree over with his feet, and found that he was the injured machine gunner Holly. He was shot in the head by a sniper bullet, and a big hole was blasted out. All over the neck.

Magu's back felt hairy, he stretched out his feet and turned him back, then turned around to check on the second person.

The second person lying on his back in a pool of blood also had no vital signs, and his death was even more horrific.The limbs were all broken and twisted into distorted angles, the face and body were full of stab wounds, both eyeballs were popped, the camouflage uniform was cut into rags, revealing the flesh and blood inside, the wounds on the chest and abdomen Especially deep, the broken ribs are clearly visible, and a large part of the intestines overflowed.

Ma Gu recognized that this was the communication soldier in the team. Without his radio communication interference and anti-interference, the team would no longer be able to get in touch with the armed helicopters waiting to respond. Before he died, he should have been tortured to extract a confession. It is estimated that the enemy wants to get more information from him, or it is just for fun.

He closed his eyes to relieve the urge to vomit, stood up unsteadily, and looked at the third person with despair.

The third person is Modis, who is the team doctor. Magu squatted on the ground and looked at him carefully, but he didn't see any fatal injuries. gas!

"Hey, hey! Wake up!" With his hands tied behind his back, he could only get close to the other person's ear and shout, "Wake up! What happened? Where's Jun Liu?! Are they still alive?!"

Hearing his call, Modis opened his eyes with difficulty, moved his eyeballs and saw Magu's face, his mouth immediately twitched and spit out a few syllables vaguely.

"What? I can't hear you clearly!" Magu simply knelt on the ground, lowering his upper body even closer to him.

"...run...run away!...dangerous...run away!"

Mortis desperately wanted to utter these words, but unfortunately they all turned into indistinct grunts, and when his mouth opened wide, thick blood overflowed from his mouth.

—his tongue had been cut out.
