Rirtov and Solvasv were lying quietly in the grass not far from the border, staring at the soldiers patrolling the border. Both of them had dark faces and beards. There were so many
The weather was unkempt, and the clothes on their bodies were dark and in strips, as if they were fleeing. It was not like they were fleeing.
This escape journey was full of disasters. They experienced searches by the military and police, and were watched by other hungry people. If they had not reacted quickly at that time, both families might have been taken advantage of by others.
Yes, the phenomenon of cannibalism has appeared in Ukraine. Not only did they eat dead people, but many people were so hungry that they began to attack other people. At first, they attacked lone passers-by, and then they became brave enough to even attack the smaller number of refugees.
No one was spared, and they saw with their own eyes that these vicious gangsters were ambushing passing refugees. They first attacked men and strong women with sticks, and then attacked the elderly and children.
These people's faces were red, but their eyes were all green, and there was no humanity in them. Their faces were full of ferocious and violent expressions, which gave people chills just by looking at them.
Although they escaped the attack of these people, there were still hardships on the road. Rirtov's mother fell down on the road. At that time, her mother fell down while walking, and she could not wake up no matter how many other people shouted. And his wife also
She got separated while escaping the pursuit of the military police. They waited for a long time but could not wait for her to show up again.
The same goes for Solvasev's family. Both his mother and father were injured on the road. Solvasev cried bitterly because of this, but he knew that it was impossible to go back, so he could only get there as soon as possible.
Only Romania has a way out.
The hardships and difficulties along the way finally brought them close to the border, and now there is only one difficulty standing in front of them. Crossing the border is paradise, which is indeed the case for the two families. However, it is not easy at all to get over.
The army has put up barbed wire fences and planted landmines on the border, and patrols day and night with military dogs.
Yesterday, they witnessed a family accidentally entering a minefield and being blown to pieces. It's scary to think about it now.
After observing the situation, the two quietly retreated.
"What should we do now? The patrols during the day are too strict and there is no opportunity at all."
Solvasev asked worriedly after he stepped back.
Of course Rirtov knew why Solvasv said this, because the patrols were too dense, and there was no possibility of escaping within ten minutes. "But it's too dark at night, and if we're not careful, all of us will die."
, you will die. Moreover, the number of patrols at night is not much less than during the day. Those patrols all bring dogs, which makes it more difficult to pass."
"Then what should we do? The border patrols are too frequent and the success rate of trying to get there is too low."
"I'm trying to think of a way. There's no difference between us rushing in and dying."
"We can't afford it. Now we have no food. If we don't find a way, we will starve to death on the border."
"I never thought of an idea so quickly."
The border that put the two people in a dilemma was actually not patrolled so intensively before. However, since last year, when the number of people crossing the border increased, orders from above caused the border troops to step up patrols.
In the past, nearly a hundred people were caught crossing the border every month. However, since the second half of last year, the number of people crossing the border has increased day by day, reaching 700 or 800 cases. They are basically civilians who are fleeing. But by the beginning of the year, people were caught crossing the border.
The number of cases reached thousands, with the highest number last month, reaching 1,574. Even if they were caught, those who successfully crossed the border were more likely to die on the way.
Therefore, Kiev's order is to strictly prevent these kulaks who are dissatisfied with Bushelvik from sneaking across the border, so the army is now patrolling the border day and night.
At this time Rirtov suddenly said, "I have thought of a way."
"any solution?"
Solvasov heard Rirtov's words and immediately asked.
"It's very simple. You have seen people crossing the border and being discovered by the army before."
Rirtov told Solvasov about his method. "You realize how long it takes them to handle these cross-border operations."
"It will probably take more than ten minutes to half an hour."
"Yes, this is our opportunity. After discovering border crossing, the army will immediately arrest thousands of people. If they cannot be arrested, they will shoot immediately. The sound of gunfire will attract patrols from both sides to rush over immediately.
If this is the case, then there will be a gap of more than 20 minutes on both sides of the arrest site, and we will take the opportunity to get through. As long as we run across the border, we will be safe, and the military will never dare to cross the border."
Rirtov's method made Solvasov's eyes brighten, as if he had already arrived in Romania at this moment. As if thinking of something, he frowned again.
"But how can we be sure that someone is crossing the border on that stretch?"
"Disperse and wait for the opportunity. As soon as we hear the sound of gunfire, we will run in that direction. I have calculated that we will be dispersed to a distance of two kilometers. As soon as we hear the sound of gunfire at the border, we will immediately go around from both sides."
"Then I'll tell you what to do."
Riltov's words made Solvasev feel that this was the most feasible way.
After the two returned to hiding and told their family about this method, everyone agreed. In order to ensure safety, the two families acted separately.
After finishing the remaining food the next day, the two of them patted each other on the shoulders.
"Take care, we'll see you in Romania."
"Take care of yourself too."
The cold wind of winter can't hold back the heat in the heart at all. Everyone knows that success or failure depends on this.
Then they each took their families and left the hiding place.
The waiting was excruciating, but Rirtov was still waiting patiently. He could not let his mother and wife die in vain. She had to leave here with her son and sister. Even if he felt a bone-chilling pain from lying in the snow
It was so cold. This was the location he had chosen. There were no landmines along the border. At least he saw small animals running past.
Wave after wave of patrols passed by. These soldiers carried rifles on their backs and led dogs to watch the movements around them. Seeing the sun gradually turning westward, the gunshot Rirtov was waiting for finally came.
"Snapped."
This was the sound of a gunshot, which cheered up the Rirtov family.
"Pah, pah."
These were two gunshots, both coming from a location about one kilometer away from me.
Riltov suppressed his son's excitement and wanted to rush out.
"hold on."
Sure enough, within five minutes, a patrolling army hurried over and waited until they saw his figure.
Rirtov whispered, "Let's go now."
After saying that, he took his son and sister's hands and ran towards the border first.
At this moment, several people ran out not far from him. No one on the two sides spoke. But judging from their movements, they both knew that the other party was also a fugitive like themselves.
At this time, Riltov had no time to care about other people. He took his son and sister and ran through the snow to the border. That barbed wire fence was the dividing line between heaven and hell. As long as it passed, all the beautiful life would be gone.
waving to them.
Although there was snow on the ground, fortunately, the snow had melted away a lot, so the three of them did not feel too strenuous. When they ran to the barbed wire fence, they saw that the few people they saw earlier had taken off their thick coats.
They mounted it on a barbed wire fence and started climbing with their hands.
The spikes on the barbed wire made everyone's hands bleed, but no one cared. They all gritted their teeth and climbed up hard.
Rirtov took off his coat and put it on the barbed wire fence too. He carried his son on his back and started climbing. The sister beside him did not hesitate and climbed on the barbed wire fence in the same way.
From a distance, they looked like geckos climbing the wall. The blood stained their hands red and left traces on the barbed wire. The barbed wire soaked in blood looked so bright, as if it was about to bloom.
Like flower bones.
Suddenly someone slipped and fell, and a muffled groan came from his mouth. The person didn't care whether he was injured or not, and immediately started climbing again.
Finally someone climbed over the barbed wire fence, and he immediately ran forward. Then other people climbed over one after another, and Rirtov and his sister panted and climbed over too.
Everyone did the same thing, they left quickly. No one spoke or asked.
After the barbed wire was no longer visible, the group stopped to take a breath.
At this time, someone in the group walked up to Rirtov and stretched out his hand. "Hello, my name is Torikov."
"Hello, my name is Rirtov."
At this time, someone said, "Let's leave as soon as we have rested enough. We will be safe when we meet the Romanian patrol. They will give us water and food, and they will not send us back."
So the group of people left like this. Rirtov was worried about his friend and his family, and said quickly, "You go ahead. I have friends coming from other places. I will go find them."
"Then you look for it slowly, we're leaving first. I'm coming to heaven."
