Chapter 533 Walking Out of the Mountains (01)

The patriarch left, just like Yin Lu, leaving quietly. Xiaolu's clan was running out of people, and the few wounded who were confirmed to be alive were already dying. I don't know if there are any survivors who fled to the mountains. Si Xuanyi once asked , but Xiaolu didn't say a word. She fainted after burying her clansman and never woke up again. Li Siming said that she was in a severe coma caused by excessive grief, or it might be because he didn't want to accept this reality. A way of escaping that he chooses, so he doesn't have to face the cruel reality if he doesn't want to wake up.

"What should we do?" Liu Xiaotian asked Si Xuanyi, they had been busy burying Xiaolu's clansman for more than a day, and the matter here finally came to an end, and it was their turn to think about themselves.

"We still have enough horses. We need to make more pack racks. We must take everyone out." Si Xuanyi said firmly.

"The mountains are high and the roads are far away. Maybe some people won't be able to go out." Liu Xiaotian was very worried.

"No one wants to be left behind, and everyone who can move is taken away." Si Xuanyi said, "We must hurry up and get out of here as soon as possible, and the injuries of some wounded can no longer be delayed."

In fact, at this time, they realized that it would be easier if they had completed the task and killed all the devils. In fact, since killing those devils, they have not even had a chance to catch their breath, and they have to continue to work non-stop. Make final preparations to leave here.

It takes a lot of energy to prepare. Several of them are wounded. This is a challenge for them. They have no time to rest, and they have to endure the pain and continue to work. This is indeed a kind of torture, but they There is no choice.

"I think we'll be exhausted if we don't wait outside." Zhao Chenggong grumbled while working, "The number of wounded is more than we can work, so what if there are horses on their backs? We don't even want to take it easy."

"Cut down one more tree with your nonsense strength." Si Xuanyi said, "If you are wounded, you don't want to be left behind, do you?"

"If I were a wounded person, I would commit suicide. I would not suffer myself, and I would save others from being dragged down." Zhao Chenggong's tired wounds were cracked, and it could be said that he was miserable, but they were the only ones who could move.

It took them nearly a day to get everything ready, and it took them three hours of rest to arrange all the wounded. Then they hurried on the road, and Xiaolu and several wounded from her clan were also taken out together. Si Xuanyi really couldn't bear them to fend for themselves here, and they had no choice but to take her out since Xiaolu was in a coma.

"An ancient race that lived in seclusion in the mountains just disappeared." Li Siming couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not just them, we almost died." Zhao Chenggong was still full of complaints.

"We still have to travel a long distance to leave this place. Considering our physical condition, the journey is not easy." Si Xuanyi said with a sigh.

"It's not easy for you to live, don't ask too much." Li Siming is more open than others. In fact, he is just asking for self-comfort. After all, blindly complaining at this point can't solve any problems.

This journey was even more difficult than they expected. In the torment of pain, exhaustion of physical strength and harsh environment, everyone felt that life was worse than death. In this bumpy toil, the wounded did not start to suffer. And they kept dying, but there was nothing they could do about it. They couldn't stop there, and they couldn't do effective treatment, so they could only watch these wounded leave one by one.

"It's a pity that you died not on the battlefield but because you couldn't be treated in time." Si Xuanyi couldn't describe his current mood.

"The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and there is nothing we can do..." Li Siming said, "Although we have tried our best, we still cannot change the fate of some people."

Xiaolu woke up, but since she woke up, she hasn't said a word, she just stared at the sky all day long, as if this world has nothing to do with her, she is really out of touch with this world, her clansmen are in the same night The casualties are almost close, and the condition of the few surviving wounded is not good. What should we do in the future?This is indeed a great problem for a little girl.

"This child..." Si Xuanyi shook his head lightly. He didn't know how to comfort this poor girl, and he didn't even know what this girl would become in the end, but he knew that he had the responsibility to cheer this girl up again. , an underage child still has a lot of youth to enjoy, and he can't just be depressed like this.

On the third day of their return, it started to rain. In order to avoid wound infection, they had to find a place to camp to avoid the rain. However, the rain did not stop for a day. Although it was not heavy, it continued to fall. The camping place is a leeward col, luckily there are still a few tents available, but it is still very crowded with everyone in.

"Oh, I can't find a suitable cave in this mountain." Zhao Chenggong complained.

"It's not convenient to toss around with so many wounded. It would be nice to have a tent. There is so much nonsense." Li Siming squatted at the mouth of the tent and looked at the sky outside. It was almost night, but the rain didn't mean to stop at all.

"A whole day of delay..." Si Xuanyi looked at those hurting people, really anxious. Under such circumstances, the saying that time is life is quite appropriate.

"There are two more who can't do it." Lin Feng said later, this time they were two members of Xiaolu's tribe.

"Is there any medicine we can use?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"There are only some herbs...not very effective." Lin Feng shook his head, also very helpless.

Si Xuanyi sighed and didn't say anything else. In fact, he knew very well that they had reached the point where there was nothing they could do with these wounded.

"Now we use plant ash to pull out the pus. Most of the wounds that hurt people have already started to suppurate. If they can't stand it on their own, we have nothing to do." Li Siming said while examining a comatose wounded with a high fever .

Although the plant ash after burning is very pure, using it to treat wounds is only a helpless move in extreme cases.

Si Xuanyi turned his head and looked at the rainy sky outside, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he really didn't know what to say. Under such circumstances, almost all his words were pale.

"Ye Feng is also having a fever..." Li Siming probed Ye Feng's forehead, and the boy had fallen into a coma.

"Fang Yuanshan and the old man are not in good condition either..." Lin Feng said.

Si Xuanyi touched his forehead and felt a little dizzy. In fact, he already had a fever, but he didn't say he was holding on.

"The worst thing is that all of us are not in a good state now." Li Siming felt that the wound on his back was open again, but he didn't know it.

"Anyway, I can't leave today, let's take a rest first." Si Xuanyi reached out to catch some rainwater and patted his face.

In fact, Si Xuanyi hardly slept at all throughout the night. The annoying sound of rain, howling wild animals, the severe pain of the wound and the predicament in front of him tortured him all the time. What should we do?What can I do?This is the question he has been asking himself, but there is only one answer in the end, there is no way, unless a miracle happens, which is basically impossible.

Si Xuanyi woke up at four o'clock in the morning. The rain outside still didn't stop. He squatted at the entrance of the tent to catch some rainwater and rubbed his hot face. He took out half a cigarette and lit it tremblingly. The smell of damp cigarette butts was very strong. But he still sucked it hard, trying to clear up his already chaotic mind. He could feel that his state was very bad, and he must not be far from coma after going on like this.

"Are you okay?" Li Siming asked in a low voice from behind.

"Alive..." Si Xuanyi said without looking back, he took another puff and passed the remaining cigarette butt over.

Li Siming went over and took a sip: "You are shaking..."

"The rain and wind are a bit cool..." Si Xuanyi said in an excuse.

"You have a fever again... Your condition is very bad." Li Siming is not so easy to be fooled.

"Actually, you are not much better than me. Everyone is holding on..." Si Xuanyi didn't want to hide any more, "Although there are more people alive this time, the situation we are facing is that any mission in the past I have never encountered it before, now our enemy is not a murderous little devil, but this pain that cannot be dealt with at all, this difficult mountain forest, it will take at least a few days or even longer to leave this forest, During this period of time, the vast majority of people may not be able to survive, including the few of us, in fact, our state is similar to theirs, as for how long we can survive, we can only resign ourselves to fate."

"How long it lasts counts..." Li Siming was also very helpless. No one knew what kind of result they would face, but they knew very well that the result might not be very good, and it could even be said to be quite bad.

"If the rain doesn't stop, we have to be prepared to go on the road in the rain!" Si Xuanyi said, "It's not an option to spend it here, no matter whether it's the wounded or not, we can't afford it, so let's carry it on."

Li Siming didn't speak. In fact, he knew that what Si Xuanyi said was not unreasonable. In this situation, they had no other choice. Originally, they were worried that the wound infection of the wounded person would worsen, but even in the state of not being exposed to rain, this kind of Things have already happened. Instead of waiting here, it is better to take a gamble and go out desperately. Maybe these people have a chance to survive outside, but it depends on these people can persist until the end, and no one else can interfere. It all depends on their own will and God's arrangement.

"I hope God will take care of us and stop causing trouble for us." Si Xuanyi looked at the sky outside, as if he was talking to himself or praying.

Although the rain did not stop after dawn, it was somewhat lighter. Although it was unavoidable to be disappointed, they had no choice but to wrap all the wounded in raincoats, tarpaulins, and load racks. Stay here, but it is more difficult to walk in the mountains where there is no road after a day of rain. Although it is not flooded, it is also muddy everywhere. Even if they are riding horses, they can feel that the road is more difficult than before. many.

"Everyone hold on..." Si Xuanyi could only cheer up this kind of person weakly. In fact, his current condition is not very good. There is no place on his body that does not hurt. He didn't even bother to say anything, but as the leader of this team, he had to do some work that seemed futile but had to be done.

"I'm really tired of taking a breath now." Zheng Chenggong has indeed reached the point of being weak, but he has not forgotten to complain, but it seems that no one will talk back to him now. Fang Yuanshan, who had been bickering with him before, is now lying He was unconscious on that pannier, thinking of this made me feel bad, he has always been annoying this kid, but when you are in him, he suddenly feels that no one is bothering him, as if he doesn't even have the point of complaining.

"When is this damn rain going to fall?" After Ye Feng woke up, he looked up at the sky, letting the rain hit his face, the chilly feeling made his drowsy mind more or less comfortable.

"Let's go...we can catch fish if we make it bigger." Zhao Chenggong's head seemed to be starting to lose consciousness.

"Fish..." Ye Feng seemed a little overwhelmed.

"How do you feel?" Li Siming asked him weakly.

"...Yeah." Ye Feng responded, "We came out alive."

After listening to his words, Li Shiming realized that the boy's condition was not very good. Although he was not so confused, he was not sober enough.

"It's good to wake up..." Si Xuanyi was somewhat relieved, and finally saw a person who woke up on his own.

To put it simply, the trek all the way back was miserable, and it felt like they would rather fight the devils than continue walking here. How long, is it two days or seven days?Because everyone's consciousness is a little fuzzy, they only know to keep moving in a general direction mechanically, no matter what is in the forest, nothing can arouse their reaction, even when wolves pass by their team, they turn a blind eye, only Lin Feng It seemed that there was still some reaction, and a shot was fired to scare the wolves away. During the period, some wounded couldn't hold on and they didn't even know...

In the end, I don’t know what day it was at dusk. They saw the outside world. They saw the burned fields and villages. Knowing that he had come out, he didn't even have the strength to be happy. He just mechanically entered the village and found a house, entered the yard, fell off the horse, and fainted...
