Chapter 234 Escape 1
Chapter 234 Escape 1
He Yi and his four companions ran non-stop for half an hour. Xu Qingfeng saw beads of sweat running down He Yi's forehead and his clothes were soaked. He panted and suggested:
"Master, we've been running for half an hour, and the train has gone quite far. How about we sit down and rest for a while?"
He Yi was indeed exhausted. Zuo Zixuan was 170cm tall. Although she was not fat, she weighed at least 110-120 pounds. It was really hard to run with her on his back.
He turned and looked at Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan again.
Xu Qingfeng was fine, but Song Yingyan was almost running to death.
He had been suffering from long-term malnutrition, and his physical condition was much worse, so it was naturally much more difficult for him to run.
He Yi nodded, "Okay, take a break for a quarter of an hour..."
He carefully put Zuo Zixuan down from his body and leaned against the ground to adjust his breathing.
Zuo Zixuan was so distressed that He Yi didn't dare to put her on the ground and run with her, for fear that she would fall, so he had to carry her on his back.
It’s all because I’m blind and have caused trouble for everyone else.
Song Yingyan simply lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking up at the night sky and gasping for breath.
"I'm sorry, I have implicated you." Zuo Zixuan said with a guilty look on his face.
He Yi sat up and hugged the person in his arms.
"You're talking nonsense again. What do you mean by implicate or not implicate? We..."
Before He Yi could finish his words, there was a sudden burst of noisy shouting and footsteps, mixed with the barking of dogs, from the distance.
"Oh no, they're following us with tracking dogs!"
He Yi looked back and saw a group of dark shadows swaying in the moonlight, approaching them rapidly.
"Get up, get up quickly, and go..."
He Yi shouted loudly, stood up, reached out to pull Zuo Zixuan up, bent down and prepared to carry her on his back.
Because the ground was uneven, Zuo Zixuan lost her footing and slipped to the side, falling to the ground with He Yi.
He Yi ignored his scratched arm and turned around to check on Zuo Zixuan's condition.
"Wife, are you hurt?"
Zuo Zixuan twisted her ankle. She endured the pain from her ankle and gritted her teeth and said:
“I’m fine!
He Yi, don't worry about me, you guys go first.
Although I don’t know why they are so determined to capture me and take me to the island country, my life will not be in danger for the time being if I fall into their hands.
You guys go..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I won't abandon you!" He Yi said firmly.
Without saying a word, Xu Qingfeng stuffed his backpack to Song Yingyan, ran over, bent down and carried Zuo Zixuan on his back.
"What are you talking about? Run away..."
Song Yingyan also ran over and pulled He Yi up from the ground, and continued to run forward along the railway.
"Qingfeng, run into the woods. You'll be too conspicuous if you run on the railway."
He Yi called out to Xu Qingfeng as he ran.
Xu Qingfeng carried Zuo Zixuan on his back and turned directly into the woods beside the railway.
"It's no use, they have chasing dogs with them, no matter where we run, we'll be caught.
We need something to cover up the smell.
Qingfeng, put me down first."
Just as Xu Qingfeng was about to run out of breath, he simply put her down and stood against the tree.
Zuo Zixuan quickly took out a few small bottles from her bag and handed them to everyone.
"This is pesticide. It will affect the dog's sense of smell."
Everyone took the bottle and quickly sprayed it on themselves.
Xu Qingfeng thought spraying was too troublesome, so he simply unscrewed the bottle cap, poured the medicine into his palm, and applied it on his clothes.
After applying the wipe, Xu Qingfeng felt that he had recovered his breath, and he bent down again and carried Zuo Zixuan on his back.
"Come on..."
While running, he gasped for breath:
"Master, running away like this is not a solution. We have to find a place to hide."
He Yi nodded and said, "Let's go ahead and take a look."
Along the way, He Yi and Xu Qingfeng took turns carrying Zuo Zixuan on their backs.
A group of people, leading tracking dogs, were circling in the woods at the edge of the railway.
"Baga, I don't believe they can still burrow into the ground.
Today we will dig the person out even if we have to dig three feet deep.
Separate them and search for me. I don’t believe they have three heads and six arms…”
The group of people immediately split into three teams and chased in different directions.
After running for another half an hour, Xu Qingfeng was really about to run out of breath and was almost dead from exhaustion.
He Yi took Zuo Zixuan from his back, looked around, and his eyes fell on a dilapidated wooden house not far away.
"Go there!" He Yi pointed in the direction of the cabin.
Xu Qingfeng looked in the direction of He Yi's finger, with a big mouth:...
To put it nicely, it's a wooden house. To put it bluntly, isn't it just a few pieces of broken wood standing in the wind?
There's not even a roof, what can you hide under? Isn't this just like trying to cover up one's own crime?
He asked breathlessly, "Master, are you sure there is room for someone to hide there?"
"Or do you have a better idea?"
Xu Qingfeng looked around. There were only sparse big trees all around, and he could see to the end at a glance. There was indeed no better place to hide.
He sighed helplessly, and could only accept his fate and follow everyone in rushing towards the cabin.
He couldn't care less, he was really dying of exhaustion.
The door of the cabin was left with only two wooden boards hanging on the door frame, half-open. The wooden walls on all four sides were tattered and had big holes all over them, and most of the roof had collapsed.
Looking from a distance, the grass in the house seemed to be taller than a person.
It looks like this is a wooden cabin where hunters used to stay overnight. Now there are fewer prey in the mountains and few people hunt anymore, so the cabin has been abandoned due to long-term disrepair.
Everyone panted and squeezed into the house through the big hole in the wooden door. The rotten smell in the house went straight to the top of their heads.
"Hide in that corner."
He Yi carried Zuo Zixuan on his back and walked towards the corner where the weeds grew the most.
Xu Qingfeng and Song Yingyan followed closely behind, moving carefully inside along the tattered wooden wall.
Everyone hid in a dark corner and calmed their breathing.
Zuo Zixuan put her arms around He Yi's neck, pulled his head down a little, and whispered in his ear:
"If it doesn't work, use oxygen."
He Yi held her tight in his arms and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we really can't avoid it."
After about ten minutes, just as they had recovered, they vaguely heard the people chasing them shouting loudly outside, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
"Don't make any sound." He Yi covered Zuo Zixuan's mouth and signaled everyone to keep quiet.
A rough voice sounded outside:
"Search carefully. Zuo Zixuan can't see, so they can't run far. They must be nearby!"
Zuo Zixuan's heartbeat quickened rapidly, her body trembled slightly, and she snuggled tightly in He Yi's arms.
Xu Qingfeng clenched his fists nervously, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
Song Yingyan was trembling and his teeth were chattering.
The footsteps stopped in front of the broken door of the hut, and then with a "bang", the two wooden boards hanging on the door frame shattered into pieces.
A bearded man walked in with a German Shepherd.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only the rapid breathing of everyone quietly echoing in the darkness.
The German Shepherd sniffed at the door, then turned and walked out with a look of disgust on his face.
"There's no one here, let's go over there and check!" After a while, the footsteps gradually faded away.
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, but their nerves were still tense and they dared not relax at all.
He Yi said softly: "Let's wait until they are far away before we go."
About half an hour later, after making sure it was safe outside, they carefully walked out of the cabin and continued to move forward in the dark.
As the night deepened, the moon was covered by thick dark clouds and the surroundings fell into complete darkness.
Several people walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the road under their feet was bumpy.
If you don't know the direction, just run around randomly.
Suddenly, a wide river appeared ahead, blocking their way.
The sound of rushing water is particularly loud in the quiet night.
"What should we do?" Xu Qingfeng looked at the river, his face full of anxiety.
He Yi looked around and found a shaky bridge not far upstream.
"There's a bridge upstream. Let's go around it."
At this point, they were already exhausted, and every step they took seemed to use up all their strength.
When they finally ran to the bridge, they found several dark shadows swaying at the other end of the bridge.
There were also sounds of footsteps and dogs barking in the distance behind me.
"It's over, the front and back are blocked." Song Yingyan slumped to the ground in despair.
He Yi put Zuo Zixuan down, pushed her to Xu Qingfeng, gritted his teeth and said, "Qingfeng, take your master and swim upstream. I will stop them."
"Master, what are you going to do then?" Xu Qingfeng asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about me, this is an order, go!" He Yi shouted loudly.
Zuo Zixuan reached out and grabbed He Yi, "He Yi, you guys go, I'll stop them..."
He Yi held Zuo Zixuan's head with both hands, lowered his head and kissed her forehead fiercely. "Have you forgotten what I said? Only when you are safe can I fight with all my strength.
Don't worry, I have a gun.
You guys go find a place to hide first, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with this."
Zuo Zixuan pulled He Yi's sleeve and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
"No, I won't leave. I want to stay with you."
He Yi pursed his lips, held her shoulders with both hands, and pushed her into Xu Qingfeng's arms.
"Walk……"
Xu Qingfeng had no choice but to bend down, carry Zuo Zixuan and Song Yingyan on his back, and continue running upstream.
Soon, the enemies behind and across the bridge caught up.
"Where are they? Chase them..."
He Yi reached behind his waist and took out the pistol, squinted at the enemies swarming in, and counted their heads.
Excluding the dog, there are exactly ten people in total.
There were only nine bullets in his pistol. If the hit rate was 100%, there would still be one man and two dogs left.
The enemy was getting closer and closer. Without giving it time to think, he turned around and hid beside the bridge pillar, squinting at the shadow and pressing down on the sheet metal.
bang bang bang...
"They have guns, retreat, retreat..."
The enemy turned around and tried to run back, but they didn't expect He Yi to carry a gun. They wanted to capture him alive, so they didn't bring a gun.
At this moment, he was beaten back by He Yi.
When He Yi saw them running away, he knew they had no guns, so he quickly took advantage of the situation and gave chase. He climbed up from under the bridge pillar and continued shooting at the fleeing shadows.
Maybe he has excellent shooting skills, or maybe he is just lucky.
Nine bullets hit eight people. When the two dogs heard the gunshots, they ran away.
The remaining two people heard that there was no movement after He Yi had fired 9 bullets, and guessed that he might have no more bullets.
They turned around and saw He Yi put the gun back on his waist, which made them more certain of their guess.
He immediately turned around and ran towards him viciously.
