How did a good exile turn into a runaway?

Chapter 8 Flood
"How many more have died? God, there will be no end to this damn thief!"

Liu Hu hit the ground hard with his whip, and gave out his anger with a few whips. He didn't ask his men until he was out of breath.
"Seven more members of the Tiger Squad have died. Three men and four women are Zhao Jintao, Zhao Jinwei,..."

"If you have no choice, just go on the road in the rain!"

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li took a few glances at the squad leader and boldly gave their opinion. It had been raining heavily for five consecutive days and there was no food left. A few prisoners had died because of starvation. If this continued, there was no need to continue. gone,
"It's raining so hard, where do you want to go? There's the Han River in front of me, it's raining so hard, tell me how to cross the river?"

Liu Hu roared angrily, and the soldier on one side suddenly froze and his face changed.
"Such a heavy rain will cause flooding! We have to leave here quickly and go to the mountains to hide."

"You are kidding! We are at least half a day's journey from the Han River. Even if there is a flood, it will not reach us."

Xiao Zhang was a little unhappy about climbing the mountain at this time. It was no less than seeking death.

"Who are you kidding? You also know that this place is flat now. Do you know why it is so flat?"

The soldier cursed angrily and retorted,

"Okay, needless to say, let's quickly count the number of people and bury the dead behind. Let's climb to Wangliang Mountain first. The terrain there is high and the road is not difficult to walk. Let the brothers hunt for food first. "

Liu Hu frowned and nodded. After all, he had run on this road several times and had heard rumors that it had been flooded before, so it was not unusual for it to be flooded this time when it rained.
Now only Shen Qiuge and Shen Qian are left in the Shen family. As for Mrs. Shen, she was found frozen to death yesterday morning.

Shen Qian's mind was no longer clear and she was in a semi-crazy state. Shen Qiuge paid no attention to their life and death. She originally planned that since she was still young, she could disappear quietly when she passed by the edge of a more prosperous town.

After all, even if she disappears, it won't cause too much trouble, but now this continuous heavy rain has shattered her plan.

I was eating a thumb-sized white sugar steamed bun in my mouth, and I swore in my heart that I would never eat this white sugar steamed bun again after I escaped this time.

"boom blah blah"

A gong sounded, which was the voice of the Yamen servant calling everyone to gather. When Shen Qiuge heard it, he quickly got up from the corner and walked on the edge of everyone. He pricked up his ears and listened.
"Now take all your things and we will set off immediately. First, we need to hide on Wangliang Mountain nearby. This place will be flooded soon. If you don't want to die, move faster. Liu Heizi, Zhang Liuzi, you two go check it out. Tie them all up, don’t let them get away halfway.”

The yamen servant above shouted loudly and repeated the words twice before finishing. The people below had already formed five rows consciously. Some clever people took advantage of others not paying attention and tightened the ropes so that they could easily escape if something happened. After all, If something happens to one of them, it's really easy to get unlucky.

Most of them are very insensitive. What do you say?If you let him go, you will follow him. Some people will curse and mutter in a low voice.

The sky is still thundering from time to time, and occasionally a lightning flashes across. The gray sky is always gloomy, and it keeps raining heavily. It feels like the sky and water are connected into an airtight sea. It is better to be in the ruined temple, at least the sound is not so loud. It was so loud that when I came out, I realized that the sound of rain could be that loud. The raindrops hit everyone hard, as if they were treating people like rocks and wanted to be penetrated by drops of water.
As soon as Shen Qiuge heard that they were going to go up the mountain, he wanted to hide in space and disappear directly on the spot, but he said that he was afraid of rising floods, so he didn't know the depth. Now he had no choice but to follow the immortals to the mountain. It would be best to find a cave.

Thinking of this, I stopped nagging and followed the back of the team, and moved forward hard.

Sure enough, it had been raining heavily for several days. The soil on the ground had already turned into a muddy pond. Everyone was staggering when walking. Either one slipped or the other rolled and stumbled. The soldiers and government officials who usually showed off their power also had to walk. Embarrassed outside,
After they finally had big knives and spears that could serve as a point of support to support them as they walked forward, the prisoners were already overwhelmed and now they were all crawling forward on the ground. After all, it was convenient to walk this way and not easy to fall.

Shen Qiuge didn't want to be like this, but now she was barefoot. After falling down, she learned to get up like the person in front of her. It felt good. Although it was a bit unsightly, who cared about that at this time?
Taking advantage of the gray sky, everyone was busy trying to save their own lives, without caring about others. Shen Qiuge changed into two pairs of gloves and two pairs of black combat boots from the space, and put them on.
With this layer of protection, he climbed even more powerfully, "Little girl Pianzi, hurry up, if you don't hurry up and follow me, I'll give you two whips later."

Shen Qiuge, who was climbing very hard, knew it was her as soon as he heard it, and immediately became angry. I really can't squeeze it out of the mud.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the other party had been plotting against her for a long time, and he had waited until the next town to exchange her for money. After all, so many people had died, so it was normal for a little girl to die.

It's better to give him some money in exchange, so this person also paid special attention to Shen Qiuge's movements. More than once, he felt in his heart that this girl's life was really good. Even though she was like this, she didn't die of exhaustion or starvation.

The dark clouds in the sky are so dark that they make the world feel lightless and make people feel like there is no hope of life!
Shen Qiuge speeded up and crawled forward. When he passed the soldier, he dropped a hard-boiled egg on the ground when he lowered his head to wipe the rain off his face, and hurriedly crawled away.
The egg fell on the ground and rolled around, covered in muddy water. Zhou Qing wiped the rain off his face, blinked hard and wiped it hard again. He saw a round thing on the ground, a bit like an egg.
He scratched it with the tip of a knife, rolled the egg around, and found that it was indeed an egg. He was immediately happy. He felt that he was lucky. He didn't know who dropped it, so he naturally picked it up and mixed it with rainwater to wipe it. After a while,
Looking at the queue in front, he was the only one at the back. He broke the egg in half and picked it with his fingers. He took a few bites into his mouth, then threw away the eggshell and hurried to follow.
The way he swallowed the jujube wholeheartedly made him not taste the eggs anymore, but as soon as he caught up with the team, he felt unbearable abdominal pain. He yelled at the top of his lungs to the classmate in front of him, and after saying a few words, he stood on the roadside and untied it. Squat down with your trouser belt,

Shen Qiuge didn't look back. As long as this man picked up the egg in his hand, the result was destined. Who would be hungry now?If you have something to eat, don’t rush it into your mouth!
If it usually takes me an hour and a half to walk up the mountain to the top of the mountain, now I have walked for two hours and still only get halfway up the mountain.

"I can't walk anymore, I can't walk anymore, sir, take a rest~ Take a rest!"

"Please, really take a rest, I really can't crawl anymore, woo woo!"

"The class leader, my brothers and I can't stand it any longer. Why don't we take a break and let's climb up again!"

Liu Hu had no choice but to agree to let everyone rest for a while. They didn't know that the flood had reached the foot of the mountain. If they hadn't run so fast, it would be hard to say what their current situation would be.

"Let the brothers work hard and count the number of people, then take a rest for a cup of tea and then we can climb up the mountain for a while. I remember that there is a big cave in front of us, and we will stay there today."

Everyone agreed, and soon someone came over and said,
"Boss, Zhou Qing hasn't caught up yet. He was the last one to leave just now."
