As I ran all the way, the stone platform with the general's body sitting on it soon appeared in front of me.
Dong Dahai, who was behind me, couldn't help shouting: "Brother, hurry up... run to the stage, the top of the stage is high..."
According to common sense, Dong Dahai is indeed right. Although the seawater has overflowed the military camp, it is located on the top of a mountain and cannot hold much water. The seawater has been flowing out in the direction of the camp, and I am also running in the direction of the current. , it was the safest way for me to climb up to the platform and wait for the water to recede.
But I didn't listen to Dong Dahai and carried him on my back all the way.
Dong Dahai didn't know what I was going to do: "Brother, why are you running?"
"You can't stay in this place. Don't say anything..." I ran out without looking back. "Think about it for yourself, can mummies appear on the beach? Those three people should have died together. Why are their degrees of decay different?" "
Corpses can only naturally form mummies when the climate is dry and there is very little precipitation. For example, deserts are the places where most natural mummies are formed. In places like the seaside, there are no conditions for the formation of mummies. If no one has processed the general's corpse, it will not be possible to turn it into a mummy.
There were two other bodies, one turned into a skeleton, and the other was shattered by a touch. Did the two people die how many years apart? So why are they sitting together
Dong Dahai obviously misunderstood what I meant, and his voice trembled with fear as he said, "You mean that general is still alive?"
"Whether he survives or not, we all have to go... Where is the road?"
I only stayed in the military camp for less than an hour, and the seawater had already surged up to the level of the cliff. Waves of seawater were still advancing on the top of the cliff, and the mountain road we walked had been completely submerged by the seawater. Before long, the seawater will cover the military camp, and it will be useless even if we climb to the high platform.
Just when I was sweating with anxiety, I suddenly heard an explosion from right in front of me, like a dam bursting. The water that was almost submerged around my waist suddenly surged in one direction with a loud roar. Before I could steady my feet, I was pushed forward seven or eight steps by the current.
The moment I crossed the high platform, the general's corpse turned his head out of the corner of my eye and looked at my side face with a sneer.
I thought to myself, "Oops," and quickly ran towards the direction of the current. But before I could get too far, I felt a chill in my heart.
In front of me was not a mountain road at all, but a cliff, and the surging seawater was rushing down to the bottom of the cliff like a waterfall. Just by the sound of falling into the water, I could tell that the height of the cliff from the sea was beyond my imagination. Jumping off rashly might lead to another dead end.
But when I tried to turn around, it was too late. A large number of red-top military hats were already floating along the current. In my current state, even if I want to break out of the siege, it is impossible, not to mention that I have Dong Dahai with me.
In desperation, I could only try to rush to the edge of the cliff. As the cliff edge approached, a rock large enough for us to stay appeared in my sight - it turned out that there was a pillar-like structure behind the military camp, similar to the military camp. Opposite pinnacles. The rock just protruded from the edge of the stone pillar. As long as I jumped over, I could survive.
I simply let go of my legs and ran towards the edge of the cliff. At this time, Dong Dahai, who was lying on my back, cried out: "Brother, run! You can't jump out if you carry me on your back!"
"Shut up! Ah—" I roared angrily, taking advantage of the water rushing towards my feet to jump up and jump straight towards the rock. I threw Dong Dahai out in mid-air first. When he fell onto the rock, I took a few steps forward crazily and ran straight to the edge of the rock to grab him with both hands.
Just when my hands were about to touch the rock, my body suddenly sank and fell to the bottom of the cliff...
It’s over! I just felt chilly in my heart, but Dong Dahai suddenly leaned out half of his body from the rock, grabbed my palm, and lifted me up in the air: "Come up quickly!"
I quickly climbed up on the edge of the rock. But before I could stand still, I saw Dong Dahai, whose face was red from holding back, suddenly turn pale again: "Brother...brother..."
I looked in the direction of Dong Dahai's finger, and my heart suddenly went cold - hundreds of Qing soldiers had already broken out of the water the moment I jumped off the cliff, divided into two rows, and surrounded the cliff in front of the barracks in a fan shape. The Qing soldiers with dark golden faces stood motionless in the surging sea water, and the long bows radiating with cold light in their hands pointed at the rock we were standing on.
The general's corpse emerged from behind the army, and suddenly raised his palm. The soldiers in the front row immediately squatted half in the water, and the arrow in their hands was slightly too high by an inch. The sound of the turbid seawater dripping down the brim of the Qing soldier's hat was like a giant hammer hitting my heart, but the general's corpse refused to put down his raised palm.
Someone once told me that the most fearful time for a death row inmate is not when he is waiting on the guillotine for the executioner to drop the knife. Beheading with one knife only takes a few seconds. Moreover, the death row prisoners have already accepted their fate, so they stretch their necks to wait for beheading. What scares them the most is walking onto the guillotine and waiting for the executioner to throw down the soul-destroying lot. Because they don't know how long it will take for the executioner's ghost-headed knife to fall.
I am now exactly like the death row prisoner kneeling on the guillotine. My heart is beating wildly, but I have no room to struggle at all. I can only watch the general's corpse rising in the air with his palms that linger on.
I stretched out my hand to hold the handle of the knife tightly, and whispered to Dong Dahai: "Look at the dead man's hand. As soon as his hand falls, count two in your mind and jump to the bottom of the cliff. Maybe you will be able to survive." Can live."
"What?" Dong Dahai said in a trembling voice, "What about you?"
I said solemnly: "I'll stay here to guide the arrow for you."
Dong Dahai didn't know that before the long arrow was shot, the archer still had a chance to adjust the arrow. If we jumped off the cliff immediately, the archer would just lower the arrow and we would both be shot to death in the air.
Two seconds later, when most of the arrows have left the string, is the best time to take off. But someone has to stand on the rock to attract the attention of the archers. Otherwise, we will all die when the archers in the back row adjust their direction.
As I spoke, I stood up and looked at the general's corpse. At the same time, a cold light shone in the other's eyes.
At the moment when the two of us were facing each other, the sound of water waves suddenly sounded under the stone peak. I turned my head for a moment and saw a wooden boat quickly rushing into the water between us.
The lights on the wooden boat were bright enough for me to have a panoramic view of everything on the boat. What surprised me was that the sergeants on the wooden boat could clearly see the Qing soldiers on the cliff when they raised their heads, but they stood upright and motionless on the boat as if they had no reaction.
At this time, the corpse of the general on the cliff also let out a roar, and his bloody eyes instantly turned to the bottom of the cliff.
"Jump!" I reached out and grabbed Dong Dahai and jumped towards the wooden boat.
I know that the wooden boat is not carrying living people, and I also know that it is unpredictable if we jump off. However, the height of the wooden boat is enough to shorten the distance for us to jump off the cliff to a safe landing. Moreover, there is a place to stay on the boat, which is better than It would be better for us to stand on a rock and wait to die. Even if I knew I had a narrow escape from death, I still had to jump to get a chance to survive.
As soon as Dong Dahai and I left the rock, the bowstrings on the opposite side were already shaking. As countless arrows flew over our heads, Dong Dahai and I also landed on the boat together.
In just a few seconds, I stood up and slashed at the soldier on the opposite side. The moment the opponent's head was chopped into the air by me, I also heard the sound of footsteps behind me - someone was coming to kill him!
When I was about to turn around, the soldiers in the distance actually raised their firecrackers at me. Although the weapon in the opponent's hand is ancient, at this distance, it is enough to kill me with one blow.
I only hesitated for a moment before I was dragged off the boat by Dong Dahai behind me. As soon as my feet left the side of the boat, the red light from the gun shot through the air. Before I could clearly see the direction in which the soldiers on the ship were moving, I fell into the sea.
When I instinctively emerged from the water, I saw a large number of soldiers holding out firecrackers from the boat and pointing towards me.
Just when the other party was about to fire, Dong Dahai suddenly held my head from behind and forced me into the water.
The moment I entered the water, the firecrackers on the boat shot up into the sky. The strange thing is that I could hear the gunshot, but I didn't see any ripples caused by the bullet entering the water. Dong Dahai, who had dived into the water, grabbed me from the side and pulled me with one hand to swim desperately to the distance. I finally emerged from the water to take a breath of air, but I saw the Qing soldiers on the cliff with arrows like arrows. It was raining, but the men and horses on the boat were shooting into the sky.
Are they fighting
While I was frowning, Dong Dahai shouted: "What are you doing? Leave quickly!"
"Oh!" I agreed and then followed Dong Dahai and swam to the shore quickly. When the two of us landed, a group of fire appeared in our sight.
Dong Dahai pointed with his hand in the direction of the fire: "Over there... there is a house over there."
There is indeed a temple-like house over there. Dong Dahai wanted to move forward, but I pulled him back: "Don't go there! Can you eat anything over there?"
"But..." Dong Dahai hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to explain something to me, I heard someone calling my name in the distance: "Wang Huan, Wang Huan, come here quickly!"
"Si Ruo?"
I was immediately ecstatic. I haven't seen Si Ruo since I woke up on the beach. Although I believe that Si Ruo will not die in the sea, I can't rest assured that I haven't seen him.
I wouldn't be like a fool, shouting Si Ruo's name everywhere because I couldn't see her, and looking for someone all over the world like crazy, but the anxiety in my heart made it easier for me to lose control. Half of the reason I kept beating Dong Dahai on the beach was because I couldn't find Si Ruo. Now that Si Ruo is back, how can I be unhappy
I immediately ran in the direction of Si Ruo.
