Forbidden City of Heze + Dalufei

Magu stared blankly at his futilely moving lips and the bare flesh inside, suddenly his whole body became cold, and a very bad intuition arose in his heart.He raised his head in horror and looked around, only to see that the villagers who had stayed on the sidelines just now had flocked to the side of the two corpses, rummaging through them for valuables.

"Idiot, stop!" Magu roared subconsciously, before he could stand up, he heard a sharp whistling sound piercing the air, rubbing the air in his ears, and bleeding burst from the chest of a man not far away flower.

The villagers immediately exploded, screaming and running away in all directions, but before they could take a few steps, they were knocked down by invisible bullets one after another. Shutting back and forth between them while exhaling, reaping human lives one after another.

Facing the bloody storm, Ma Gu threw himself on the ground at the first moment, kicked his legs a few times and got into the bushes. He panicked, turned his body with all his strength, and rolled to a place far away from the gunshots. There was a whirlwind.The screams finally became less ear-piercing, but the dense bursts of shooting could still be heard chasing behind his head.

He fell down a slope, bumped his head against a pile of tangled tree roots, and finally stopped until he was dizzy.He turned his back to the sky and gasped for a few breaths, then quickly moved into the lush vegetation next to him and curled up, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement in the distance.

After the gunfire stopped, four soldiers who had completed the ambush came out from the hiding spot with their hot barrels in their hands.

They walked into this group of dead people, turned over the corpses of the villagers with their feet in disgust, and cursed: "Damn it, I thought it was their remnants, why did this group of fools come to make trouble early in the morning?" , Waste of ammunition!"

"Forget it, let's chase the people ahead." An officer with the rank of captain said, "Let him go if the fish slipped through the net. Shangguan Junliu is the target, and it will be a great achievement to catch him."

After another younger soldier heard this, he held his gun and walked quickly to the immobile Modis. Looking at the bloodshot eyes, he raised his hand and shot the opponent between the eyebrows. It cost him his life.

The gunshot shook Ma Gu's heart, he put his forehead on the ground, let out a long breath, and hibernated for a while, holding his breath, until the surroundings became quiet again, and a few sporadic birdsong flew over his head.

He crawled back tremblingly, and found his dagger in the hands of the village chief who was still covered in blood. He turned his back and held the knife in his hand, bit by bit at a twisted angle. The rope was cut.

Then he searched all the bodies of the dead as quickly as possible, and finally found his pistol on another man. Obviously, he was killed before he could use it once.Apart from this, these poor villagers had nothing on them, and the three soldiers who died tragically had all their equipment confiscated by the enemy.

Magu was full of anxiety, but he didn't know what to do, standing helplessly among the corpses on the floor.He didn't dare to think about the tragic battle that took place here last night. Although Junliu escaped, he must be in danger now.Magu held the gun tightly, and started a fierce struggle in his heart. He has lived a life without tomorrow since he was a child, and he has long been a person who disdains the lives of others. His career as a robber for more than ten years has been driven by desire, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages His instinct for survival is deeply rooted in his bones, and it doesn't matter what morality is, but he can't get rid of the handsome appearance in his mind, and at this moment, there is also an inexplicable bond, which makes him unable to bear to leave like this.

He understood that if he still wanted to get away, this was the best chance.He doesn't want to witness Junliu's tragic end, so he should avoid it, and then he can save his life, sneak back to the central area, find a place to remove the tattoo on his neck, and live there incognito, perhaps Able to practice his old profession and make war money or something.

There was clearly a better way, and he had already planned it out in his mind, but he couldn't move any further, as if some kind of force held him back and fixed him in place.

"Boss..."

In the blank dead silence, he vaguely heard such a vague call, and goose bumps suddenly appeared on his back.

His breathing became heavy, and he slowly raised his head, and found that all the corpses on the ground had opened their eyes and were staring at him intently.These bloody faces are so familiar, they are his "blood cuckoo" brothers.

"Boss... Boss..." Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, their seven orifices were bleeding, they all stared at their eyes with hatred, without saying a word, they just called him one after another, as if begging for death.

A layer of cold sweat emerged from his forehead, Magu staggered back a few steps, he raised his hands to block his ears, his heart was about to collapse.

It's here again, it's you again!Why do you still come and still not let me go? !Haven't I already avenged you!I killed the woman I love so much and made a sacrifice for your wronged souls. Shouldn't I appease your anger?What else do you want from me? !Let me go please!Don't come to pester me again!

He tightly closed his eyes, and grabbed his scalp with ten fingers, trying to dispel the illusion from the pain.But the ghostly screams in my ears became more and more horrific.In the end, he roared unbearably, turned around and ran, and rushed into the forest, leaving the terrible scene far behind.

In the afternoon, a wind blew up in the sky. Although it couldn't blow into the dense forest, it blew the canopy of the trees rattling, and the thick dark clouds were pushed towards the surrounding area, and soon covered the sky and the sun.

The light was as dim as twilight, and after a few muffled thunders, pea-sized raindrops fell, piercing through the leaves, making the back of the neck wet and cool, and the trickle poured down the collar, and then suddenly there was a noise in the ears. As soon as there was a sound, the rain suddenly increased, the torrential noise drowned out hearing, the continuous rain curtain blocked the sight, and the whole body was heavily wrapped in wet clothes.

Yan Liang freed his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, and stroked the dripping hair back from his head, but it didn't help at all, the water continued to seep into the eyes, filtering the scene in front of him into blurred color blobs.

The mud under his feet instantly turned into a pond, which was soft and slippery. He walked step by step. Although he walked in a hurry, he tried to step on every step firmly. The pain made him tremble all over.

"Junliu, are you cold?" Realizing that he hadn't felt the other person's reaction for a long time, he patted the person on his back with his hand.

But Junliu didn't respond, he lay lifelessly on his shoulders, his wet black hair covered his entire side face, dripping water gurgling down.

Yan Liang immediately raised his hand to test his breath, but he felt a trace of hot air.

"Oops, he has a fever." Yan Liang stopped Ka Suo, who was walking in front, "help me continue."

Ka Suo held Junliu's arms steadily, and temporarily held him in his arms who was a lump of mud.Then Yanliang quickly took off his coat, twisted it twice, shook it off and put it on Junliu's head and shoulders.

Although the clothes were wet, they could at least protect him from the rain, so that he wouldn't just be drenched head and face.

"We have to stop for a while and find a place to shelter from the rain. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it if we continue walking like this." Yan Liang picked him up again as he spoke, his bare arms gleaming under the heavy rain.

The long-term torture and imprisonment have already hollowed out Junliu's body, how can he stand up to more severe torment?He did not sleep and eat normally for several days in a row, and was chased and beaten by killing and death. He was greatly stimulated mentally, and he was now at his limit.Since losing the last three players, Junliu hasn't said a word, just kept walking forward with a livid face, but suddenly fell to the ground while walking, unconscious.

Casso didn't answer.The enemy army is following closely behind, and it is undoubtedly too risky to stop now.He speeded up to open the way ahead, and took Yan Liang along for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, he finally found a place that could barely accommodate him.

This is a steep slope. The bottom of the slope seems to have been eroded by rainwater for a long time. There is a space recessed in the mud wall. Because it is in a dark place, the concealment is acceptable, just enough to block the wind and rain.Yanliang quickly released Junliu, laid him flat on the ground, took off his drenched underwear, and wrung out the water vigorously.

Ka Suo put the rifle aside, took out the first aid kit he carried with him, opened it and rummaged through it, found a small tablet of green pills, and handed it to Yan Liang, "This is an antipyretic and analgesic medicine. very good."

Jun Liu's cheeks were flushed from the heat, but his whole body was trembling.Yan Liang picked him up, pressed his upper body tightly against his chest, opened his mouth and stuffed the pill into his throat, then tilted Junliu's chin neatly, pressing the tiger's mouth down along his throat, It forced him to swallow it.Yan Liang didn't let go, but embraced him in this position, rubbed his back with his palm, trying to warm his clammy skin with body temperature.

It would be great if he could make a fire and roast it, his thought flashed, and then he was dismissed.The fire was too bright, and they needed the cover of darkness.

Junliu's body could never warm up, Yanliang couldn't help but said to Ka Suo: "He must eat something."

Ka Suo's eyes were bloodshot, and water dripped down the bridge of his high nose. He frowned deeply, and looked at Junliu silently, as if he was very embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse.

Neither of them spoke again. After a while, Ka Suo seemed to be defeated by the deadlocked atmosphere. Finally, he slapped his knees, grabbed his gun and stood up, saying desperately, "Okay, I'll go Find something to eat."

He took off the water bottle on his body, and handed it to Yan Liang along with a small bag of salt, "You can mix some salt water with him to drink first, so that he can make do to preserve his energy."

"I'll only go for an hour, and I'll come back whether I find it or not. If you don't come back after the time, you should leave immediately." After speaking, he took off the electronic map on his wrist and put it on the stone that he had just sat on. "This thing can help you find your way."

Yanliang nodded, but he was absent-minded, and his eyes did not move away from Junliu.

After the sound of Ka Suo's footsteps went away, he opened the bag of salt, dipped some salt with his wet fingers, rubbed it on his tongue, then quickly opened the bottle cap of the kettle, and poured a small mouthful of water into his mouth.

The salt grains melted in his mouth instantly when they met water, and he immediately hugged Junliu's face, lowered his head and kissed his lips, and fed the warm liquid into his mouth.

Junliu's body was cold and stiff, but his mouth and nose were hot, and his lips were so hard that they were scratching his tongue.Yan Liang was greedy for the vitality in his breathing, couldn't help but put the other's lips in his mouth and rub them until the lips became soft again.

After feeding him a few mouthfuls, Yanliang raised his head and found that Junliu was dying to look at him with his flushed eyes half-opened. The normally bright black eyes were dim and scattered, as if covered by a layer of mist. .

Yan Liang stared into his eyes, not wanting to miss his gaze.But he had an illusion, as if what Junliu was looking at was not him, but somewhere behind him.

"Brother..." Junliu opened his mouth, and let out a hoarse voice, "I want to go home."

"I dreamed about my parents just now, and they said they would take me back... As soon as I was happy, I woke up."

"You are not allowed to go with them." Yan Liang scolded solemnly, "I don't agree."

Junliu felt that his tone was a little naive, so he smiled unconsciously, so that there was no trace of pain in his brows and eyes, but relief.This is when the pain reaches a certain level, the spirit enters a free state, and the stiff muscles relax because of this, and even feel a little buoyant.

Junliu looked sideways, and found that there was only boundless darkness outside his brother's embrace.The cold and violent wind and rain wantonly invaded this square inch of space for him, leaving no mercy, and he was dying in this precarious long night, and he was about to be buried in this strange desert like a fugitive at the end of his life. In the suburbs, there is no hope, no redemption.

In the face of such a cruel death, any inextricable grievances and hatreds are not worth mentioning.

He quietly withdrew his gaze, pulled himself together and asked, "Brother, you should be able to escape by yourself, right?"

Yan Liang frowned without saying a word.

"Promise me, don't let me die here." Junliu muttered and begged, with a little light in his eyes, "I want to go back to Heze...I want to see my parents, I really want to, please No matter what, you have to take me back!"

"You are very heavy, I can't carry it anymore." Yan Liang brushed away the wet hair on his forehead as if coaxing him, and said, "You have to walk by yourself."

"Just take the ashes back home, it's very light..." Junliu's expression was half true and half false.

"What crazy words?" Yan Liang's voice immediately turned cold.

Junliu closed his mouth, the smile on his face still persisting.In the past, he couldn't figure out why Yanliang was always angry with him. He was like a living fuse that would be ignited as soon as he met. He was angry with him throughout his youth, and his bad temper could never be changed. up.

Since they are incompatible with each other, they are destined to part ways, but they never thought that this road diverged so far, and Yan Liang could come back and stop him.As a result, the person who can be by my side at the last moment is not the closest or favorite, but him.

"Don't you want to see Zilo? He's still waiting for you outside the border. It's very close."

Yan Liang didn't want to mention this person either, but he had no choice.He could hear that Junliu's will to survive was on the verge of collapse, he was not noisy, he didn't show a trace of anger or pain, this was a sign, a sign of giving up struggling and accepting reality.

"It's good to be here." Junliu said vaguely, his eyelids trembled and covered his eyes, his breath became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't hold it anymore, "It's good to be here..."

As long as I know that you are waiting for me, I will not be so afraid.The body is really disappointing, trapped in this ghost place, but maybe soon, I will be free, the ashes of the body will return to the land of the motherland, and the soul will go in your direction.

Yan Liang watched him close his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. He just felt that the army was defeated suddenly, and his heart was stepped into a mess by iron hooves. Countless shadows, colors and sounds were already passing by like thousands of troops and horses. , the overwhelming dust suffocated him.He knew that Junliu was going to be captured by this catastrophe, but he only had time to catch a glimpse, and he flopped around for a while, unable to catch anything.

Just when he was in a panic, he saw Junliu opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly he was agitated, and he suddenly hugged him into his arms, pressing his lips to tightly block the opponent's breath.He intuitively felt that this was Junliu's last breath, and he had to hold it well.

Yan Liang didn't dare to move, as if he was protecting a spark, for fear of extinguishing him, so he held it for an unknown how long, and the hot breath in his mouth never dissipated.The sound of the rain gradually became thinner, and there was a sound from the woods behind him. It was Ka Suo who came back with his prey.

He collected some edible plant roots, killed two snakes, caught a bunch of frogs, and even insects. He basically tried his best to collect all edible things along the way.

Ka Suo took out the dagger, disemboweled and cleaned the prey a few times, rinsed off the blood with rainwater, quickly applied a layer of salt, and handed it to Yan Liang.

The raw meat still has a fishy smell, but for those who are extremely hungry, it is already a delicacy that they can't wait for.Yan Liang tore off a piece of meat with his teeth, mixed it with starch-rich plant roots, chewed it finely, and then fed it to Jun Liu mouth to mouth as usual, like an animal feeding its offspring.He fed it tirelessly, and the smell of the food aroused his survival instinct, and Junliu gradually began to swallow actively.

Ka Suo looked at the two of them, munching on his own, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.In the dark night, the three of them ate the scribbled game quietly without saying a word the whole time.And the sound of the rain finally died down.
