Su Wu took off the clothes of the taller monk's corpse and put it on himself. He walked down the hillside. Behind him, on the top of the mountain, at the top entrance of the prison built in the mountain, prisoners gradually came to explore.
Come forward.
They fell far behind Su Wu.
Watching Su Wu run down the mountain, he casually picked off the heads of the monks who were guarding the mountain. He piled the sheepskin bags and various weapons carried by these monks at the foot of the mountain steps, and picked a strong horse for himself.
The green horse turned over and galloped towards the wilderness in the distance.
The figure in yellow is gradually disappearing into the horizon.
The prisoners who were the first to chase Su Wu down the mountain saw Shuiyuan's eyes suddenly light up when they saw the various foods in the sheepskin pockets.
They were shouting noisily, surrounded the food, water and supplies, and were ready to fight with each other if they disagreed.
The prisoner who first smeared the poisonous insect scabs that fell off Su Wu's body on his forehead and painted it into the shape of a flame dropped the knife on his waist to the ground and raised his arms high. His arms were covered with iron nails.
Although the puncture wound has been healed, the scar is still clearly visible.
He shouted loudly, attracting the attention of all the prisoners present: "We are all dog slaves who have been gifted by the devil to survive!"
The fire between the eyebrows and the scars on the hands and feet are all proof!
The devil must not have left this food just to keep us full.
We ate up all the food and grabbed it. What would people do next?
They are also dog slaves blessed by the devil - we are one family!
The scars on his hands and feet are proof!
I propose that each of us eat three mouthfuls of tsampa, a piece of dried meat, drink a sip of water, and leave the food for the brothers who will come later - what do you think?!"
The prisoners gathered around frowned and thought.
There were still prisoners pouring down from the top of the mountain.
Some prisoners looked at the food with greed in their eyes;
There are prisoners who are undecided;
One of the prisoners first looked at the tall, middle-aged prisoner who first made the suggestion: "Gabe, I listen to you!"
"I listen to you too!"
"The devil has given me a chance to live again, and I will obey the devil!"
In an instant, seventeen or eight people stood up and responded positively to the first prisoner ‘Gabu’ who made the suggestion.
Gabe looked around, looking at the prisoners whose eyes turned cold and never responded. He looked kindly, and at this moment, he suddenly bent down and picked up the knife: "There are many of us, so just listen to us!"
"Why?!"
"I won't listen to you!"
"I want to share a bag of tsampa and a gold bead!"
The prisoners who had never responded to Gabe's suggestion suddenly started shouting——
Whoosh!
Gabe pulled out the knife and put it against the throat of the prisoner closest to him, who had a thick frame and a tall figure and screamed the most ferociously!
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
But at the next moment, the eighteen prisoners who followed Gabe's suggestion also took out their knives and put them on the necks of those who were shouting around!
Gabe took control of the situation in a matter of seconds.
He lowered his eyebrows and picked up a sheepskin bag of tsampa from the ground. He made the prisoner with a thick frame kneel in front of him, found a tsampa bowl, mixed the tsampa with milk, kneaded it into a ball, and stuffed it into the prisoner.
In the mouth: "The first bite is for you."
After feeding the prisoner three balls of tsampa, he picked up a piece of dried meat and gave it to the prisoner. He handed the prisoner a water bag and made him take a sip of water.
Seeing this, the other eighteen companions first fed the food to the prisoners they were coercing.
After feeding these prisoners, she
Gabe put down the knife and said to the thick-boned prisoner with sincerity in his eyes: "It's time for you to go."
The prisoner had a fierce expression on his face, chewing the dried meat in his mouth vigorously, and looked at Gabe with a knife-like gaze. He said coldly: "I will remember you!"
After saying this, the prisoner got up from the ground, waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"
He led the defeated prisoners and walked dejectedly to another road.
"Why let them go?
They hate us and will become our enemies.
Will report the whereabouts of us escaped slaves to the lord!" Someone looked at the prisoners leaving and asked Gabe with puzzled eyes.
Gabe's eyes were confused, looking at those who escaped here, and suddenly said: "If a person can be so cruel to his brothers and family who share the same fate, what will happen to outsiders?"
"He doesn't even want to share a bite of food with other demon-gifted disciples. He must be even more cruel to outsiders!" the prisoner who asked the question replied.
Gabe's eyes lit up.
He smiled and shook his head: "No.
I think he must have his tail between his legs when facing outsiders.
To be cruel inside and tolerant outside is the nature of these people... My former lord was such a person..."
"Have you all eaten?" Gabe stood up and looked around at the prisoners.
"have eaten!"
All eighteen prisoners responded.
"Six people were left behind to help those who came later to maintain order.
Distribute the food according to our method." Gabu said, "For the rest of the people, let's go after the traces of the 'devil' first——"
…
The prisoners walked from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. At the request of the six prisoners, they ate three pieces of tsampa, a piece of dried meat, and drank a sip of water. The crowd then meandered away into the distance.
Some people ran away from the team halfway;
Some people have already run out of fuel and have died on the road;
Some people stopped to rest and gradually lost their way.
It's getting dark.
The prisoner "Qu Li" who crawled out from the "Tongue Pulling Cell" on the last floor walked with a young man and came to the foot of the mountain. At this time, there were no prisoners waiting to watch at the foot of the mountain.
——Only a small piece of tsampa was left in the leather bag on the stone steps, and a shallow sip of water in the water bag.
This little food doesn't need to be taken care of anymore.
Qu Li looked at the food and water in the bag, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at the pale young man beside him. He slowly took off the Tibetan knife from his waist - his actions made the young man opposite him a little nervous.
At a loss what to do.
He looked at the young man and said, "You are still young..."
As soon as the young man heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the water in the leather bag with sad eyes.
"I'm already old.
It's enough to live to this point." Qu Li grinned and suddenly threw the sheathed sword in his hand to the young man opposite, who hurriedly caught it.
He also handed the water in the leather bag to the young man,
He sat down at the foot of the mountain and watched the young man, who had been hungry for an unknown amount of time, eat the food in several bites.
After finishing the food, the young man looked at Qu Li blankly: "I ate tsampa... what should you do?"
Water for you to drink!"
He handed the water bag to Qu Li.
Qu Li shook his head.
Climbing out of the seventeenth floor of the prison and walking from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain had exhausted all his life force.
He closed his eyes slightly tiredly, leaned against the stone steps behind him, and said to the young man: "After eating the food, hurry up and hit the road, follow the people in front of you - a person can walk alone in the dark without being caught by tricks.
If we leave, we will freeze to death in the dark."
"What about you? Won't you come with me?" The young man turned his head and looked at the dark, silent night, a little scared.
"I can't walk anymore..." Qu Li said in his heart.
He looked at the young man with anxious eyes, and suddenly said in a strange way: "Don't be afraid, even if I can't leave and die here, my soul will follow you..."
move."
"Your soul..." The young man lowered his head and murmured for a while, then suddenly looked up at Qu Li's face, "Then what's your name? Grandpa, what's your name?"
"Qu Li." Qu Li said with a smile.
"Qu Li..." the young man repeated, suddenly nodded, "Grandpa, thank you for giving me the food!
I remember your name!
From now on, my name will also be Quli!
I will take your soul to pursue the devil..."
Qu Li smiled and gradually closed his eyes.
Young people are running hastily in the dark.
He didn't know which direction was correct, so he chanted the name "Qu Li" and let his heart guide him in the direction - at the foot of the mountain, Qu Li's corpse turned into a burst of light dust, lingering around the new "Qu Li".
Lead him in the right direction.
‘Quli’ means ‘passing on the Dharma’.
Qu Li didn't know how long he walked before he finally saw the only bright light in the dark night.
When he heard the noise of people there, he hurried over.
I saw a group of prisoners in ragged clothes sitting around a hill. There was a big pot under the hill, and a whole yak was stewed in the pot. A tall prisoner took out a pot of
Bowls of broth were handed to people walking in line.
From time to time, you can still hear the prisoner's instructions to people: "The devil said, we ran a long way, so we can't eat too much when we get here.
First drink a bowl of broth and dip it in oil and meat.
I will give you every bite of the yak in this pot!"
"Thanks!"
"Thank you, Gabe!"
"Young man, come here too." The tall prisoner known as 'Gabu' waved to Qu Li. There were circular scars from the nails on his outstretched arms and wrists.
Qu Li still has scars on his hands and feet.
He hurried over and saw Gabe scooping out a bowl full of broth from the cauldron and handing it to him: "Go and drink it!"
"Thanks!"
Qu Li quickly thanked him and walked to a corner with a wooden bowl in hand to sit down.
The prisoner next to him raised a wooden bowl and gestured to him.
He also quickly picked up the wooden bowl and returned the favor.
Everyone laughed.
Qu Li held the bowl and drank the broth in large gulps. The salt and fat in the broth were quickly absorbed by his body, and the warm soup soothed his shriveled stomach.
At this moment, Qu Li felt that he was in heaven.
He drank most of the broth, holding the wooden bowl and was about to chat with the person next to him to understand the current situation. When the person next to him suddenly raised his head and looked somewhere, his body trembled uncontrollably——
Qu Li looked around——
Every prisoner put down his wooden bowl, stood up solemnly, and headed in a certain direction!
Their bodies were shaking uncontrollably!
Qu Li had some kind of premonition in his heart. He also put down the wooden bowl, got up from the ground, and looked at the hill. On the hill, a young man dressed in white sat down cross-legged.
He himself does not show any impressive appearance,
But in the hearts of everyone present, the light shines brightly!
