Chapter 698 Broken Leg

Chapter 698 Broken Leg

Chen Xiuqing stooped gently, stepped back, thought for a while, picked up the slingshot that Qi Wenkai had thrown aside, and then carefully touched the place where her Oroqen horse was tied.

Several horses were tied to the edge of the forest behind the shack built by Qi Wenkai and others.

What Chen Xiuqing didn't expect was that when he was approaching the horse, because he was not familiar with him, the horses on which they were riding kept moving, snorting, and very vigilant.

This is not a big movement on weekdays, but in this night, which is already approaching dawn, it seems extremely abrupt.

All of a sudden, the guard who was dozing off by the fire was awakened. He turned on the flashlight and shone it on where the horses were, and saw Chen Xiuqing at a glance.

After being slightly taken aback, he suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted: "That kid is going to run!" Then he fired an empty gun in the direction where Chen Xiuqing was.

At this moment, Chen Xiuqing couldn't care less about other things, ran to the tree where her Oroqen horse was tied, fumbled to untie the slipknot of the horse's rein, turned over and rode, yelling run.

Horses are nocturnal animals, and their eyesight may not be as good as animals like wolves, but at night like this, even if it is very dark, it is not a big problem to walk through the mountains and forests.

When the Oroqen horse ran, he only noticed a few flashlight beams swaying around him.

"Bang bang bang..."

Immediately afterwards, several gunshots rang out one after another, and the horse that Chen Xiuqing was riding neighed and rushed into the forest like crazy.

There were constant gunshots from behind, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his calf. At that moment, he only felt that everything in his mind was instantly occupied by this strong pain.

Shot!

At a time like this, he couldn't care less about other things, he just crouched on the horse's back, protecting his head from being swept by the branches and leaves that he couldn't see, and kept urging the horse to run fast.

Vaguely, he heard the yelling of riding horses behind him, and saw the flashlight beams coming from behind him from time to time.

It's just that these voices became weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared.

The light of the flashlight was also completely invisible.

However, he didn't dare to stay in the slightest, nor did he dare to relax in the slightest.

At this moment, every second seems so long.

He didn't have any thoughts in his head, only the idea of ​​running for his life. Gradually, the pain plunged his mind into darkness and he passed out.

It seemed that after running for a long time, the sky was already bright, until the horse suddenly fell down and threw him flying.

Hitting the ground hard, he rolled twice on the ground and was blocked by a pine tree.

This time the fall was very heavy, and I was a little discouraged by the fall, and it took me a while to recover.

And it was this collision that woke him up from his coma.

He struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved, the severe pain from his left leg forced him to grit his teeth again, gasping for air, the veins on his face were swollen, and he couldn't help shaking from the pain Get up, almost go into shock again.

But after passing out once, it is not so easy now.

Like punishment, he must be made to feel the sharp pain soberly.

He looked down at his left calf, where a blood hole penetrated directly, right where the bone was, and the whole trouser leg was soaked with blood, even the yellow rubber shoes were filled with coagulated blood.

broken!

"I don't want to die yet..."

He looked back at the Oroqen horse lying on the ground in the forest, struggled to stand up, jumped and scrambled to the side of the horse, and thought about riding and running quickly, to see if he could earn his life back.

When he got closer, he discovered that the horse's belly was dripping with blood.

This Oroqen horse was hit by Qi Wenkai and others' random shooting.

Maybe this shot wasn't the point, that's why the horse was able to carry him for so long under the stimulation of pain.

However, if it wasn't a fatal injury, it was a gunshot wound after all. During such a high-intensity running, the injury would only get worse.

Up to now, this Oroqen horse struggled violently a few times, even if Chen Xiuqing pulled the bit hard with all his strength, and then struggled to push it hard behind him, trying to get it to stand up, but he couldn't do it.

Seeing the horse snorting and panting rapidly, the look in the eyes that blinked from time to time gradually dimmed, at that moment, Chen Xiuqing was in despair.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and fell down in front of the Oroqen horse, hugged the horse's head, and howled, tears rolling down from his eyes.

Until he couldn't hear the horse's breathing, he looked down at the Oroqen horse's dim eyes, raised his hand and slapped his face one after another, shouting with each slap: "What are you doing... what are you doing?" "What the hell are you doing..."

After dozens of slaps in succession, he slapped himself until blood flowed from his mouth, and both sides of his face became red and swollen visible to the naked eye.

Until then, he stopped and looked at the horses in front of him silently. After a few minutes, he got up again, glanced around, picked up a piece of wood and pestered it, and desperately climbed towards the high mountain peak After finally reaching the top of the mountain, he identified the direction and found that the Oroqen horse was carrying him and running in the same direction as it came out of Jingou and headed for the Tahe River three times.

The Oroqen horse knows the way, and can carry its master out of the dense forest!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Killed another horse!

What made him feel even more sad was that when he went down the mountain, it was the swamp where the two brothers were buried.

He suddenly felt that everything was so ridiculous. It was like a reincarnation node that existed specifically for gold. This swamp seemed to be waiting for him to fall into it.

Bloodstains and footprints are not easy to hide, and those people will definitely come after them.

This point, he is absolutely sure at the moment.How could he leave safely after discovering a vein of gold placer.

He knew better that his own feet might not be able to support him to walk out of the virgin forest which was still dozens of miles away.

Could it be that he really wanted to die in this mountain forest?

He vaguely heard the shouts of galloping horses coming from the woods at the foot of the mountain, which suddenly woke him up from his trance.

In any case, life must go on, which is the tragedy of life.

to be born, to live...

Chen Xiuqing looked at the swamp, and then at the drips of blood behind him. He took off his coat, gritted his teeth, wrapped his calf, and tied it tightly with two sleeves.

He only hoped that the footprints and bloodstains would no longer be traces of being tracked.

Perhaps, that swamp will be the key to his survival.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and groped towards the swamp below with as light a footstep as possible.

……

Qi Wenkai and others rode their horses to the place where the Oroqen horse fell dead, jumped off the horse and watched for a while, and found the traces left by Chen Xiuqing pedaling the thick dead branches and rotted leaves among the trees when he climbed to a high place.

It took only a few minutes before and after, and these traces were extremely obvious.

Chen Xiuqing only wanted to run for her life, she didn't care about it, and let the horse run wild in the woods.They were chasing and they had flashlights in their hands, but psychologically they didn't dare to ride horses and charge through the forest like Chen Xiuqing did.

Although they were also riding horses, their speed was much slower. When Chen Xiuqing could no longer be seen, they had to rely on the traces left by the horses to track them down, especially when they saw the bloodstains on the ground. A few people feel more confident in their hearts.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that their speed could really increase.

Seeing the death of the horse now, and looking at the traces left by Chen Xiuqing, several people looked at each other and rode their horses up the hillside to catch up.

"Don't let him get away, otherwise, the gold in the golden ditch won't be ours! Chasing...he won't be far away!"

Several people immediately rode up to the top of the mountain, and then followed the footsteps and blood on the hillside to find it.

However, as they walked, they suddenly found that the blood and footprints were gone.

As if it disappeared out of thin air.

None of them were hunters, and it was easy to track traces like bloodstains and footprints, but Chen Xiuqing was an experienced hunter after all, and when he noticed these problems, he could still hide them if he wanted to.

The four of them searched around for a long time, even rummaging through the bushes one by one, as well as the big trees around them. They looked around, but they still couldn't see the slightest trace of Chen Xiuqing.

"Those bloodstains are still fresh. They are obviously injured on your feet. I don't believe you can still fly. Look for him, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find him. You must not let him leave alive. Spread out and expand the area. See you Kill him immediately..."

Qi Wenkai roared loudly, and first rode his horse towards the swamp below.

There, he saw a lot of old horseshoe prints on the edge of the swamp. He couldn't be sure whether someone came here to pan for gold or was left by a safari on horseback. He just thought that there might be someone else in those gold mines. Know.

Regardless of that, he walked up and down around the swamp first, but there was no sign of being trampled on in the swamp, let alone sewage, but, many places with water, under the sun , Bubbles popped out from time to time.

Where exactly, where exactly...

He became more and more anxious.

They spent almost the whole morning in this place, but when the four of them got together again, they all shook their heads, and no one was found.

Qi Wenkai couldn't help but look at the night watchman yesterday, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground: "What a bastard, you can't even do such a trivial thing well, what a waste..."

"What do we do next?" asked someone next to him.

"What should I do? What can I do? Go and look at the horseshoe prints by the swamp. Many people must have been to this place. Those gold..."

"Brother Kai, this swamp is actually quite far away from the Golden Gulch. If you have been to this place, you may not have been to the Golden Gulch. The kid injured his left foot. I don't think he can get out of this mountain so easily. Otherwise, let's go Don't waste time here, if you have this skill, you might as well hurry up and go back to pan for gold, if someone comes, we won't return empty-handed."

"It's the only way to do it now!"

Qi Wenkai let out a long breath, then glared fiercely at the night watchman last night, turned around on his horse and walked back.

The other three quickly got on their horses and followed.
