Chapter 12: After suffering all the hardships in prison, today the pain is over and the joy comes!
Wu Shengmen's response was not unpleasant.
But there is always a process for everything.
The defenders at the South City Gate first shot the mining slaves to determine the identities of Wei Guan and others, then checked the identity and number of the mining slaves, and finally determined whether anyone had escaped and who had escaped.
And wait for Zhao Bo, the guard of the South City Gate, to find out all this.
On the one hand, he sent people to chase him.
On the other hand, he went to report to the sect leader Wu Guangquan.
This time.
Chen Jichuan had already led Chen Shaohe across the bluestone road, changed direction, and plunged into the dense Centipede Mountain.
Those who came to investigate were all ordinary soldiers of the Wu Sheng Army. These people did not practice martial arts and were not as powerful as the Black Armor Army and the Tianbo Army. They also saw the death of Wei Guan and others, so how dare they really pursue them.
It's just to fool the superior officer and show off.
There are a very small number of soldiers who don't care about their lives but only want to make meritorious service, but after all, they are not proficient in handling cases, do not know how to track, and they have to be blinded.
In this case.
Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohe are like geese returning to the blue sky and tigers entering the mountains and forests——
After being in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature!
……
"Fourth brother."
"We——"
"We escaped?"
Chen Shaohe lay on the fourth brother's back, holding a knife in one hand. From the nervous excitement of just escaping from the Black Prison and Wusheng City, to the joy of crawling into the forest and into Centipede Mountain, and then experiencing worry, trance, and confusion.
For a while.
His heart was so complicated that even he himself didn't know what the situation was.
Unexpected infinite joy.
It’s just what I feel from the bottom of my heart——
Untrue.
I have been thinking about and worrying about it for so long. Is it really possible to escape like this? !
"Of course it came out."
Chen Jichuan did not hesitate.
He ran with all his strength, his heart filled with endless joy, and he felt that he had infinite power and could carry Chen Shaohe on his back for ten and a half days without getting tired.
Spent six years in the Black Prison.
The torture is hard to describe.
But compared to this, the more than two months it takes to get the ‘Tao Fruit’ and recognize the Lord are truly difficult——
Obviously as long as you give him enough time, he can achieve something. But he was trapped in a dark prison, unable to control his life or death. I have to worry about gains and losses every day, and I have to be uneasy every day.
Such suffering.
Such torture.
Now, it's finally gone.
How could Chen Jichuan not be ecstatic?
"Fourth brother."
Chen Shaohe felt his fourth brother's joy. From behind, he could vaguely see the corners of Chen Jichuan's grinning mouth, which was the most relaxed and cheerful smile.
Just like before.
The fourth brother got the golden finger and when he awakened the magic, the smile on the fourth brother's face was the same.
Chen Shaohe was gradually infected.
The fourth brother carried him up and down. Sometimes he looked at the sky, sometimes at the ground, and then he looked around at flowers, grass, thorns, trees, and mountain birds.
Go see all these beautiful things that you can't see in the dark prison.
I don’t know when.
The corners of his mouth also grinned, and a chuckle came from his throat. Chen Shaohe himself was startled and found it unpleasant, but he couldn't help it.
Until you laugh out loud.
He finally felt the joy welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Thick.
Can't be dissolved.
……
"I think of running under the sunset that day. It was my lost youth."
Chen Jichuan carried Chen Shaohe on his back and ran through Centipede Mountain, running through thorns and crossing ravines. No matter the ups and downs, nothing can stop him or hold him back.
The sun sets.
The elder reflected the two figures.
"The taste of freedom!"
Chen Jichuan has never run so heartily before.
Even in the world of Dayan.
Because my heart is concerned with reality and because I am worried about the real situation, I always feel depressed and cannot relax.
now.
Escaped from the black prison and escaped from Wusheng City at noon.
Only when Chen Jichuan's heart is free can he be free.
He carried Chen Shaohe on his back and dove into the mountain.
At first, Chen Jichuan didn't recognize where this place was.
It wasn’t until I climbed over two hills in succession and saw a fir forest that I suddenly remembered——
Back then, their family was taken into Centipede Mountain not far away from Yongfeng County, and then they walked to the Black Prison.
Think about it now.
The entrance and exit of this black prison is in Centipede Mountain. When they came out this time, they also appeared in Centipede Mountain.
"The radius of the black prison is no less than a thousand miles."
"Although it can't see the sun, it can't be under Centipede Mountain. And that city gate——"
Chen Jichuan recalled.
It is speculated that the 'Black Prison' is probably a foreign space, similar to the Cave Heaven Paradise, except that the entrance and exit are in Centipede Mountain.
Think of this.
Chen Jichuan was also a little more hesitant about the outside world and the current situation and changes in Dachu: "Six years."
Isolated from the world for six years.
Although I heard a little bit here and there, more is still unknown.
It made Chen Jichuan feel a little hesitant and a little hopeful.
……
People are in Centipede Mountain.
Know where you are.
Chen Jichuan is no longer a headless fly.
"Wushengmen occupies the three counties of Lipu, Yongfeng and Muhua. From Centipede Mountain to the west is Muhua County, and to the south is Lipu County. You cannot go there. Further to the west are Lingui and Quanyi counties. This is the territory of the Jinyang faction, even if Wu Sheng and Jinyang factions are on good terms, they cannot go."
So.
Only Jianling County and Liding County in the north are left.
The latter was probably defeated by Wu Shengmen, and Chen Jichuan did not take any risks.
The former Jianling County was said to be under attack by the Jinyang faction, but due to the delay in the news, Wei Guan and others did not know that clearly.
Chen Jichuan was unable to overhear.
"The war is chaotic."
"Lao Wu and I can go from Centipede Mountain to Jianling County first, and then go to Yangshuo County further north."
Yangshuo County is the territory of the Lishui Gang.
It stands to reason.
The grievances between Chen Jichuan, Chen Shaohe and the Lishui Gang are deeper than those between Wu Shengmen. You know, it was the Lishui Gang who occupied Yongfeng and Black Prison. In other words, Chen Jichuan's father, brother, uncles, and cousins all died at the hands of the Lishui Gang.
Six years of torture in black jail.
It all started because of the Lishui Gang, which can be called a blood feud.
But I don’t care much right now.
Wu Shengmen is hostile to the Lishui Gang. As long as he escapes to the Lishui Gang and hides him, Wu Shengmen will be at least ten times more difficult to track him down.
All the way north.
Along Centipede Mountain, I ran wildly in one breath, crossed five or six mountain tops, and walked about thirty or forty miles. Along the way, I encountered spider plants, ivy, aloe vera, mint, pothos, cold water flowers and other plants that can remove oil stains and remove odors. I picked them all away.
He and Chen Shaohe came out of the black prison.
The whole body is covered with iron-hating grease and a fishy stench. With a stink all over his body, he would be exposed easily. Only repeated washing with these plants can make them less conspicuous.
Chen Jichuan passed by a village and stole two sets of coarse cloth clothes. Nowadays, saving one's life is the most important thing, and one can only do such immoral things as stealing clothes without conscience.
Clothes are in hand.
Seeing that it was dozens of miles away from Wusheng City, the pursuers would not be able to catch up for a while.
Chen Jichuan took Chen Shaohe to find a stream, threw away the smelly and hard cotton-padded jacket that he had worn for six years, and washed himself with plants such as spider plants and ivy over and over again, almost scratching his skin. It will remove a lot of odor.
It’s impossible to clean it all in one go.
But it's not so exaggerated as to stand up to the wind and stink for ten miles.
My hair is tangled and cannot be straightened out or washed.
Simply.
Chen Jichuan performed the surgery and shaved off both Chen Shaohe and himself.
Instantly refreshing!
"Fourth brother."
"Look at me."
Chen Shaohe put on the stolen clothes, touched his smooth and shiny bald head, and giggled.
It's summer now. Without the heavy burden of the cotton-padded jacket that he wears all year round in the black prison, Chen Shaohe feels that his body is much lighter, and there is wind when he walks.
The sixteen-year-old boy was a little cheerful, walking back and forth, arranging his loose and fat clothes with his hands.
What a joy.
Chen Jichuan turned his head and looked.
Seeing that Chen Shaohe's back looked less straight against the backdrop of this outfit. He was stooped and naturally not very tall. If it weren't for the fact that there was no sunlight in the prison and his skin was unhealthy white, he would look like a little old man.
Not handsome.
It doesn’t look good either.
But who would object to their own children being ugly?
Chen Shaohe laughed for a while.
Look at the fourth brother.
I was a little envious when I saw the fourth brother's back straight and his clothes that fit him well.
Chen Jichuan also has a shiny bald head.
Then shave the fluff from the corners of the mouth.
Appear capable.
Seeing Chen Shaohe's expression, he saw what he was thinking and walked forward two steps: "What's there to envy? One of us is born to one father and the other to a mother. When you correct your back and start practicing martial arts, you will be a handsome young man in just a few months. By then, Fourth brother will find you a wife.”
Talking.
He tore off two pieces of coarse cloth from the hems of Chen Shaohe's clothes and wrapped their bare heads.
"There is no rush to find a wife."
"We have to find a place to hide and practice martial arts well. It's important to save our lives first."
Chen Shaohe touched his head, still a little uncomfortable. Hearing the fourth brother speak, he quickly shook his head.
He really wanted to get a wife.
But I also know that I can't bring trouble to myself or my fourth brother now. Moreover, he is young and holds grudges the most. He endured hardship in the black prison, but now he has escaped, and all he wants to do is save his life and take revenge as soon as possible!
"I'm young."
"It doesn't matter if you wait a few more years."
Chen Shaohe grinned, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes: "I am not good-looking now, and the wife I am looking for will definitely not be good-looking either."
He, Chen Shaohe, is not a fool.
"Okay."
"No rush."
"Wait a few years to find a good-looking lady."
Chen Jichuan couldn't help laughing.
The brothers talked.
Seeing that everything was done, Chen Jichuan asked Chen Shaohe to burn the cotton-padded jacket and hair, and scatter the ashes into the stream.
Then he carried Chen Shaohe on his back.
Keep running.
Although he ran for thirty or forty miles, there was no guarantee that he would not be caught up. He and Chen Shaohe had such strong smells before that if they had a hunting dog with a sensitive nose, it would be easy to follow the trail and find them.
So he ran again.
This time.
We climbed over a few more hills and waited until it was completely dark before we stopped to rest.
Summer is hot.
Even at night, there is only a hint of coolness, not cold.
"Fourth brother."
"I killed someone today, so happy."
Chen Shaohe sat down against the big tree, holding a wild goose wing knife in his arms. Thinking of the scenes outside Wusheng City today, his heart couldn't help but beat a little.
Not nervous.
Not to be afraid.
It's about excitement and the joy of revenge.
Wu Shengmen did not regard them as mining slaves as human beings, and the same was true for Wei Guan and other black-armored soldiers. Chen Shaohe's heart was filled with hatred and murderous intent. After waiting for more than two months, I finally killed someone, and I felt very happy.
Strictly speaking.
Today, among the eight people including Wei Guan, only one of them was struck in the neck by him, which was regarded as being directly killed by him. Three of the other seven people were injured by him, but it was Chen Jichuan who ultimately killed him.
But even so.
Chen Shaohe was also very excited. I didn't feel it when I was running during the day, but now that I stopped, I couldn't stop replaying it in my mind. As I thought about it, I felt a little ashamed: "I was——"
He was still nervous today.
First time killing someone.
His hands and feet were not in control, he was relying on instinct, and his mind was not clear. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to kill the four black-armored soldiers by himself without the help of his fourth brother.
"First time."
“Very good.”
Chen Jichuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chen Shaohe reflecting and blaming himself.
In fact.
Chen Shaohe's performance today actually surprised him, but not everyone has the courage to pick up a steel knife to chop people.
"Next time."
"Next time I meet someone from Wu Shengmen, I will definitely not be like this."
Chen Shaohe was not satisfied with his performance. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, swearing in his heart. He turned around and said to the fourth brother: "When I find a place to hide, the fourth brother must teach me how to practice martial arts."
A battle today.
It also made Chen Shaohe realize the power of fists and kicks in close combat.
He has the art of controlling fire, which is both mysterious and powerful. But once he was approached by someone and slashed with a knife, he had no other choice but to scare him away by breathing fire.
When the man came to chop him with a knife today, he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Make up your mind secretly.
You must practice martial arts well, and cannot just rely on ‘fire control’.
"Okay."
"Fourth brother will teach you."
Chen Jichuan nodded, but he was also thinking in his heart: "Practice martial arts——"
Practicing martial arts is not easy.
I believe Chen Shaohe has no shortage of hardship and perseverance.
But in addition, martial arts training also requires venues, equipment, medicinal materials, and food, fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs, and meat.
These all require money and channels.
"After leaving the Black Prison, I still don't know if I can find the spirit stone."
"I can save whatever I can."
"To practice martial arts, it is best to eat well and supplement it with medicinal materials to regain your strength."
Chen Jichuan was thinking in his mind.
He has a lot of energy.
But for now, it is just rootless water. If it is used as unscrupulously as in the Black Prison, it will be exhausted sooner or later. Compared with rapid growth in strength, Yuanli's healing effect is greater and more helpful to Chen Jichuan.
I thought to myself.
Chen Jichuan thought of Da Chu again.
He was imprisoned in the black jail for six years. During these six years, the country was turned upside down. The sects that used to be invisible to ordinary people not only surfaced and came to the public, but also replaced the government, occupied counties and counties, controlled local places, and established army.
Such as Wu Shengmen.
Under his command are the ‘Wu Sheng Army’, ‘Heijia Army’, and ‘Tianbo Army’. Although the Black Armored Army only had 300 people, and the Tianbo Army only had a few dozen people, Wu Sheng's Army numbered as many as 5,000.
This does not include the disciples of Wu Sheng Sect.
It's said to be a sect.
In fact, he is already a genuine warlord.
Not only are there martial arts masters, but there are also 'extraordinary arts' and 'extraordinary people'.
All kinds of changes.
Chen Jichuan still needs time to straighten things out.
"First come to Yangshuo County and settle down, and then get to know it better."
Chen Jichuan's mind settled.
Suddenly, he realized that Chen Shaohe's voice was missing from his ears.
Turn around and look.
I saw Chen Shaohe with his head drooped, and it turned out that he had fallen asleep.
Chen Shaohe has been carried by Chen Jichuan for most of the day today. He is not physically tired, but after more than a month of traveling in the dark prison, he is nervous, happy, and mentally exhausted to the extreme.
Just when we stopped.
He also chatted endlessly and enthusiastically with Chen Jichuan. As he talked, sleepiness came over him and he fell asleep unconsciously.
"I have endured all the hardships in prison, and now my life is finally over."
Chen Jichuan glanced at it, felt relieved, and couldn't help but sigh.
A moment later.
Then he gathered his energy and calmed down his mind.
Escape from the prison does not mean that everything will be fine. The country is in chaos, and if you want to survive in the troubled times, you still have to work hard in the future.
Don't want to waste time.
With a thought, I entered the world of Dayan.
