Chapter 369 Survival in the Wilderness

Old Cheng came in with the food, saw Sun Yu nodding, and knew that the matter was almost done, so he smiled.

"We have dinner first, we will go to the mine tomorrow. If we don't see the implementation of the military town with our own eyes, we will never be at ease." In the future, once this copper mine is mined on a large scale, it will be a source of wealth for daily gold. It must have sufficient protection power, otherwise it will inevitably attract people's covetousness.

In the mountains outside Jingzhou City, a man with disheveled hair was walking hard on a stretcher tied with branches and vines.

It was noon at this time, and the man was hungry and tired, covered in sweat. Suddenly, he saw the stream appearing in front of him, and forced himself to drag the stretcher to the edge of the stream.

He held up the clear spring water with his hands, took a few sips, buried his face in the stream, and shook it hard for a few more times to make himself more awake.

Then he took out the bamboo tube around his waist, filled it with water, and handed it to the woman on the stretcher.

"Erlang, can we really escape?" These two people were Wu Ling and Gao Jichong. They had been running for many days. Because the checkpoints along the way were very strict, they needed to find possible ways to survive everywhere.

For places that have never been to before and there is no map, Gao Jichong can only change the route according to the approximate direction.

Just the day before yesterday, Wu Ling accidentally broke her leg and could not rush to the road. Gao Jichong made a stretcher temporarily. As for the short horse, Gao Jichong had long abandoned it in order to mislead the pursuers.

"It must be possible. According to my estimate, at most ten miles, you will reach the territory of Longyan County." Although Gao Jichong did not bring a detailed map, when he was in Xiongzhou, there was a surrounding topographic map in his room, which had already been clear about it. Although he kept changing directions, he was always calculating the distance in his heart.

"Erlang, is it safe to arrive in Longyan County?" Wu Ling was unsure. Although Erlang kept saying it with confidence, he was already in a downturn. There was no accurate letter to whether he was willing to accept him.

"Longyan County is back to Zhangzhou, which is my elder brother's territory. How can we allow these people to be arrogant? Come and eat a steamed bun. When we are full, we will walk over in one go." Gao Jichong handed Wu Ling a dry steamed bun, picked up the steamed bun with the other hand, and took a bite.

"Erlang, have you remembered everything about the past?" Wu Ling felt a little confused, and felt that Gao Jichong's expression was changing more and more.

"Yes!" Gao Jichong nodded. On the way to avoid chasing and blocking again and again, fragments flashed through his mind. Just last night, his memory had completely recovered.

"Don't worry, no matter what my identity was before, you should call me Erlang." Gao Jichong picked up the steamed buns at the corner of Wu Ling's mouth with his fingers and put them directly into his mouth. They had been blocked in the mountains for several days, and all the food was left, so there was no waste.

"I, I just want to know whether you have married a wife before?" Wu Ling plucked up the courage to ask. Although he hoped to live with Erlang, now that he has recovered his memory, what should he do if he has a family?

"No, don't worry, you are my only wife." Gao Jichong finished drinking the water from the bamboo tube, scooped up another can and handed it to Wu Ling. The steamed bun was too dry and could not swallow it without drinking water.

When Wu Ling heard this, she was so happy that she didn't know why. She took the bamboo tube and poured it into her mouth.

"I'll give this to you too. I can't eat so much." Although Mantou is not small, with Wu Ling's appetite, he can barely fill one meal at a time. Now he has only been halfway through it, so he handed it to Gao Jichong.

"You eat it, I'm enough. When I go to Longyan, I want to eat roast duck

No, braised elbows and drink Feitian wine." Gao Jichong originally thought it was hard to swallow brown rice, but now his memory has recovered. Thinking of what he had eaten in the past, the dry and hard steamed buns are like wood.

"Eat more, even if it's not delicious, you can't eat it. I can't walk anyway, so I'm still pointing at you and dragging me over." Wu Ling grabbed Gao Jichong's hand and put the steamed buns in directly.

"Well, then wait until you are hungry before eating." Gao Jichong stuffed the steamed buns into his arms. He was thinking about going to Longyan to eat some good food. Even if no one in Longyan could know him, there was still some scattered silver in his arms, which was enough to reach Quanzhou.

"Sit firmly!" Gao Jichong felt the strength again. After saying that, he lifted the stretcher and walked forward with great strides.

Roasted duck, roast chicken, and elbows are just a short distance away from the front.

By climbing up to the last mountain, you can reach the territory of Longyan County by just passing through the valley below.

Just as Gao Jichong was about to rush down, he suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately stopped.

"Erlang, what's wrong?" Wu Ling noticed Gao Jichong's strangeness and turned his head to ask.

"Shh, whisper, something is not right here." Gao Jichong squatted down and said in Wu Ling's ear.

"What's wrong? Someone blocked the road?" Wu Ling was shocked. He was about to escape, but he didn't expect that there was still difficulties.

"That's not, it's mainly because it's too smooth. The pursuit of the past two days is obviously smaller, and no one has investigated this border. Could it be that it's impossible?" Gao Jichong shook his head. Now he already knows his identity, and the other party cannot give up easily.

It is indeed not easy to find them in these stretches of mountains, unless the army searches the mountains.

But as long as he thinks a little, he knows that he will flee to the territory of the Loyal and Brave Army. It is impossible for no one to patrol this border.

"Then, what should we do?" Uling suddenly lost his mind and could only count on Gao Ji Chong.

"You hide here first, I'll go." Gao Jichong moved the Wuling to the bushes and brought some branches to cover it. Even if someone passed by, he would not know that there was someone hidden inside without checking it carefully.

Gao Ji rushed over and turned around and climbed towards another small hill. He wanted to test what kind of ambush was in the valley.

When he arrived at a slightly steep mountain, Gao Jichong wore a hat with branches to wear it on his head to reduce the possibility of exposure. He pushed a big stone hard and prepared to roll it down. With such a big movement, the ambush must come and check it.

Gao Jichong pushed hard, and the big stone ran down the steep mountain, faster and faster, and the movement became louder and louder.

As for Gao Jichong, he had long been hiding in the bushes and staring at the valley below.

"One, two, three..." The valley, which had no half-person figure, saw figures emerge from every corner to check. Even on the opposite hill, there were figures shaking. It was already the territory of the loyal and brave army. These people were brave enough.

Gao Jichong couldn't see the hillside here, but he could think that someone must be monitoring him and wanted to pass through him without hesitation, the possibility was zero.

Wu Ling, who was bored counting ants in the bushes, saw Gao Jichong look depressed and knew that something was wrong. Even if he was chased so urgently before, he was still at ease.

"Erlang, what's wrong?" Wu Ling touched Gao Jichong's face, and her messy beard did not affect her love at all.

"There are at least dozens of masters in the valley, and they also carry crossbows on the opposite mountain.

Some people are not clear about the specific details, and as for our side, there should be many." Gao Jichong did not hide anything. They were husband and wife, so they should be honest with each other.

"Then, why don't we change another road?" Wu Ling knew at the moment he heard that this road could not be passed.

"If I'm right, the other party has set up secret whistles on this border and your leg is injured again, we may not be able to get through. It's better to detour Chaozhou and find another opportunity." Gao Jichong felt that the other party's manpower was not enough to lay out all the borders. If Jingzhou is strictly investigated, then find a way from Chaozhou and go directly to Zhangpu County.

"How far is it?" Wu Ling was not very conceptual. He had never been to Jingzhou City, and Chaozhou had no concept.

"There are about three hundred miles." Gao Jichong did not walk this road, and they could not walk on the official road, so they could only walk from the wilderness. They were completely unsure of when they could arrive.

"We only have half a steamed bun left, and my legs..." Wu Ling suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't be so selfish. If Erlang were alone, he would probably be able to live with it.

Even when her legs and feet are convenient, she is just a burden, and now she even stands up to her luxury.

"Ling'er, don't worry. Once you escape, I will immediately find the best doctor to treat you." Gao Jichong thought Wu Ling was afraid of delaying the treatment of her legs, so he quickly comforted her.

"Erlang, this leg is lame at most, which is not a problem, but you may not be able to escape with me." Wu Ling grabbed Gao Jichong's hand. Although she was reluctant to part, she had to think about Erlang.

He has such good skills and has a great chance of passing by alone.

"If you want to go together, or you will find a way. I can't leave you alone here." Gao Jichong refused flatly. He knew very well that with his identity, those people would never let Wu Ling go.

Even if they can't find it, Wu Ling will definitely not be able to survive in this wilderness.

"Erlang, listen to me, find a cave to hide me inside, you go over alone and come back to save me as soon as possible, which is much faster than turning hundreds of miles. We have nothing to eat in this wilderness, we must be fast, it is too late to walk when we are so hungry." Wu Ling knew very well that although Erlang was so strong that he would be hungry for two days, he would be a sick cat.

Gao Jichong hesitated. He used the tone in his heart to think that he would definitely be able to fight out, but now he calmed down and had to face the reality.

There are not many people in this valley, at most twenty or thirty people, and they are still distributed everywhere. As long as he is fast enough, he has a chance to fight out.

Even if you detour Meizhou, the difficulties you face may not be lower than now.

"Erlang, I know you love me, but there is no way to do it now. Only when you are alive can you bring people to save me." Wu Ling grabbed Gao Jichong's hand and put it on his face to rub it.

"Ling'er, this is not a day or two. You have no experience in survival in the wild and have no food. If there are jackals and wolves, how can you protect yourself?" Gao Jichong was worried. He had dealt with beasts a lot along the way.

How many days can I endure if I have broken my legs and I have no food to eat?

"Erlang, go find some of the rhizomes of these small trees, and pull them more, and they can always last for ten or half a month." Wu Ling used his hand to uproot a sapling-like plant beside him, shaking off the soil, and there was a small rhizome as thick as a thumb underneath.
