After leaving the cave, I found that it was already light and I could see the road clearly. It was humid in the mountains and the soil on the ground was a little wet after a night. It would be easy to leave footprints when you step on it, but since you were ready to leave the cave, you didn't care about it.
They tried their best to walk where there was grass. Unexpectedly, the two of them came to the water curtain hole while walking. It was obvious that there was a road extending upwards, and it could also go downwards. He simply stopped and asked: "Where are we going?"
Do you want to walk down the mountain?" His injuries needed timely treatment, and he had to get out of this hellish place before he could escape.
But Rong Jue shook his head and said: "No, let's go up the mountain." He met her surprised eyes and explained in a low voice: "They had the same idea as you, they must have thought we were going down the mountain. There were five people in the mountain, plus two
There are seven locals in total, so how many people will be waiting for us at the foot of the mountain?"
This statement is indeed reasonable. Going down the mountain at this time is undoubtedly sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth. "But when we go to the top of the mountain, we don't say whether we will get lost. What if they are worried and go up the mountain to look for it? That is not a retreat.
Can you withdraw?"
Rong Jue squinted his eyes and looked up, and simply said: "Just take one step at a time."
So the two began a difficult climb. Fortunately, this road was considered a highway, and it was winding and winding. It was better than walking through the grass. And maybe because there were more people walking, the mud under their feet was solid, so they would not fall down.
The loose ones may slide down.
I didn’t want to talk too much and waste my energy. I just paid attention to my feet. What I heard in my ears was each other’s breathing. The longer we walked, the louder the breathing. The road up the mountain was extremely difficult. Rong Jue was injured. It was simply like walking with someone on his back.
, this is a great challenge for her.
When they reached a slope, they stopped and rested against a tree. The mountain was quiet, and the sun shone through the leaves, making them warm. Their luggage had been dropped yesterday. At this time, their mouths were thirsty but there was no water to drink.
Fortunately, I had a few sips of spring water in front of the Water Curtain Cave.
I simply kicked the grass at my feet and felt that the plants here were different from the ones below. Originally, when they went up the mountain, they were all sapling-shaped grass, but when they got here, the grass leaves became like leaves, but they were very thin.
I thought, maybe this is the so-called knife-edge grass? It is said that knife-edge grass can heal wounds. I wonder if it would be useful to use the leaves of this grass to cover Rong Jue's wounds.
He was not good at making opinions, so he still asked the person involved, and Rong Jue raised his eyebrows and said: "Anyway, I've treated you as a dead horse, so it's not bad this time." In fact, the wound on his back was really burning.
Very, like fire.
So I simply picked a few leaves and smelled them first. They had a green and astringent smell without any unpleasant smell. I wanted to chew them, but I didn’t have the courage after all. In places overgrown with weeds, venomous snakes would crawl through them without warning.
After all, it was not used on myself, although it was a bit unethical to think so. After smashing the leaves with stones, I applied a handful of juice to the wound on his back. I felt that his body shrank, it must be in pain.
As long as it hurts, any medicine used to treat injuries must hurt, just like iodine disinfection.
Maybe he was sweating after walking for too long, but Rong Jue didn't have a fever anymore, so he didn't feel lightheaded. Of course, it was probably impossible for him to walk alone. This man also had a strong will, and he felt a little better.
Instead of putting all his weight on her, he broke off thick branches and used them as crutches, one for each person. It took a lot of effort to walk up the mountain.
The road may have no end, but the mountain will reach the top. Not to mention going through all kinds of difficulties, the two of them finally reached the top. There was no store on the top of the mountain as Brother Fu mentioned before. It was bare and there was no one. It was obvious that he
You are lying to them. Such a mountain range is not a good place for tourism, but when you reach the top, you can't help but marvel at the beautiful scenery.
Looking from a distance towards the place where the sun shines, a long red cloud formed there, stretching for thousands of miles. And standing there, they seemed to have fallen into a red dream. If they were not fleeing, they would probably feel that this was a wonderful journey.
.
Rong Jue said: "It's the principle of sunlight refraction. It's not clouds, but the mist in the mountains." His hand held hers tightly, and his face looked very relaxed. His heart moved slightly, and he remembered what Brother Fu said before.
, he said that this mountain is called Lover's Mountain, and lovers who climb to the top will always be together. Is this the reason why Rong Jue insists on coming to the top of the mountain?
However, they are not lovers. At best, they can only be regarded as contract partners. Putting aside the random thoughts in my mind, I think it is more reliable to focus on making a living, "What should we do now? We can't just hide on the top of the mountain.
.”
"Wait a moment, some of my bodyguards will run down the mountain to communicate. Even if none of them run away, then someone will come looking for us. Do you remember the hot spring bath?"
He simply nodded, not knowing what connection he mentioned about the bathing place at this time with the present. He just heard him say: "I developed that bathing place, and my subordinates are the ones who look after it. I will come here every year. If it lasts two days in a row,
If he doesn't see me coming back, he will bring someone to look for me."
She felt relieved, and it turned out that Rong Jue had saved a trick. She thought that it was unbelievable that a person like him would be tricked by a few people from the mountains. No wonder he wanted to go to the top of the mountain.
To give his people enough time to find this place, it is estimated that the person in the bathhouse hall may be his right-hand man and should know their itinerary.
They found a stone and sat down, knowing that someone would come up to rescue them, so they were not too scared. Just after sitting for half an hour, they heard someone's voice coming, and they stood up in surprise. They frowned and listened carefully, but saw Rong Jue's face changed.
Changed, and her heart sank.
Because it is quiet in the mountains, a louder voice can be heard far away. From the accent, it is clearly Ah Fu and the others. The feeling is that the rescuers did not arrive, but they were found first, and they actually chased me up the mountain.
I just heard Afu's honest voice saying: "It's really unlucky. I searched all night and couldn't find anyone. They won't take back the money they gave us. I shot that kid in the back.
He should be dead."
"They also said that we will die without seeing our corpses. Those two plague gods are still looking at us, so it must be early." A Ming said bitterly. He didn't sleep all night. No matter how energetic he was, he was still very tired.
.
Brother Fu took a sip on the ground and cursed: "Those two useless things, they followed us down the mountain and then came back up, but they couldn't climb anymore. After this step, we were already some distance away."
The posture looks impressive, but it is just an empty air."
"That's right, there are three more of them who have gone off to look for each other. They haven't given any news yet. Don't let your legs roll down the mountain. Haha, that has nothing to do with us. It's up to them to take care of themselves. They have to go separate ways and don't hesitate.
Think about it, this is a mountain that people like us who have been climbing for several years don’t dare to walk into."
The two burst into laughter and looked down upon those "backpackers".
The sound sounded closer and closer, and their footsteps were really fast. They simply looked at Rong Jue and asked him what to do now. There was not even a shelter on the top of the mountain.
But I saw him pointing to the other side, and immediately stepped forward to help him go there. Originally standing where they were just now, looking this way, it looked like a cliff with no way to go, but when I got closer, I realized that it was actually a cliff.
There is another road extending down the mountain, but the terrain here is steep and the way down the mountain is very dangerous.
But at this time, there was no room for hesitation, so he had no choice but to go down. He was slightly surprised that Rong Jue was so familiar with the mountainous terrain. He had been here before? As if he knew what she was thinking, he lowered his voice and said, "Before.
I’ve been up the mountain once, but I’ve never gone down this road before, so I don’t know where it leads.”
Does it mean that you are confused about the way forward and are resigned to your fate?
Jian Jian wailed in her heart. She really had forgotten the idea. Why did she come here with him? If she had known that these things would happen, she would have stayed at home even if I killed her. She must read the almanac next time she goes out!
The danger of this road is not exaggerated. I couldn't stop sliding down several times. I jumped down a few meters and only managed to hold on with my crutches. But this was not the worst.
What was bad was that Brother Fu and A Ming finally reached the top of the mountain. When they saw that the grass blades on the ground had been stepped on, they immediately knew that someone had been there and hurriedly searched everywhere.
They were familiar with the terrain, and after a while, they heard A Ming's roar from the top of the mountain: "Brother Fu, come on, they are there! The man is not dead yet, and the woman is still there!" The voice was filled with joy rather than surprise.
Rong Jue growled: "Don't look back, keep going down." The shooting range of the shotgun was limited. As long as they reached a certain distance, they would miss it. This time, the two of them didn't care whether they were slipping or not, and moved their bodies slightly.
Squat down on your back and slide down the slope of the mountain.
Sure enough, the gunfire was fired at a distance behind them, but it could not hit them. Later, the mountain was so steep that Rong Jue and Jian Jian could no longer stand up straight, and even lay on their backs. The shouts of Brother Fu and A Ming
It gets smaller and smaller, and gradually I can no longer hear. Wei Sue wonders why they didn't chase them down the road. Are they also afraid of the steepness of this road?
Rong Jue suddenly said: "Shan, use crutches to stab you. If you want to stop the speed, it's too fast." With the momentum in front, the speed becomes a little uncontrollable. As long as a huge boulder suddenly appears in front or reaches the edge of the cliff, then
They both have to finish playing.
But this is not a matter of stopping at will. The speed of the descent is no longer within their control. Even the branches used as crutches were broken due to the strong struggle with the ground. The broken branches continued to stick to the ground.
Still couldn't slow down. They saw a group of dark green grass in front of them, as if there was an unknown object. If they collided with it, I'm afraid...
She closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come, and simply thought of a certain advertisement slogan in her mind: Can't stop at all. She was laughing happily when she saw the advertisement, but now she didn't even have the strength to move the corners of her mouth. She just felt a burst of pain.
The world was turned upside down, and his body was thrown forward, but it was soft against him. When he opened his eyes, he realized that Rong Jue was blocking the front with his body, and his back was hit by the grass.
The grass was knocked away, revealing the rocks behind.
