It can be said that Lu Er is worthy of being a veteran of the underworld who has been around for many years, and he has a certain level of understanding of people's hearts. He not only clearly distinguishes the current situation and knows that he and Song Mingxuan have a mutual benefit and harm relationship, but he also guessed the psychology of Instructor Qi. Seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
He was absolutely right. Instructor Qi just wanted to find a way out of death.
But that night, after Instructor Qi jumped off the ferry, just as Lu Er had guessed, he swam downstream with the current under the cover of darkness. On the way, he climbed on a broken wooden board that floated from nowhere and drifted along the river for more than 20 miles. It was not until he was almost exhausted that he took the opportunity to board the river bank.
In the first few days, he only dared to wander back and forth in the woods along the river and some remote villages. He used the few oceans he had left to sneak into the villages to buy some food to survive. Thanks to his many years of military life, He is still in good health and has not gotten sick even after sleeping in the open for several days.
However, when his money was about to run out, he realized that if he continued like this, even if he was not found and silenced by Song Mingxuan's gangsters, he would probably die of illness and starvation.
It's not like he hasn't thought about leaving. He has been an instructor for many years and often takes his students out for field training. He is quite familiar with the situation around Nanjing. If he really wants to leave, there is nothing he can do.
But he is unwilling to abandon his family and family and wander around the world incognito. However, Song Mingxuan, who has a human face and a beastly heart, still sits in a high position and continues his powerful, colorful life. He wants to expose this sanctimonious villain and die. To pull him down.
Moreover, during the few days when he was fleeing for his life, he also thought clearly about his problems. Although he was suspected of leaking secrets, he had no intention of collaborating with the enemy. Even if he was caught by the military academy, at most he would be expelled from the military and sentenced to a few years in prison. That's it, there will be no fear of life, and now to expose Song Mingxuan's ugly face and let his vicious behavior of trying to kill his countrymen for some benefits be exposed in broad daylight, he must voluntarily surrender and tell all the truth. clear.
So, in the following days, he began to consciously move toward Nanjing City. His many years of military career told him that since Song Mingxuan had murderous intentions, it was impossible not to have means to guard against him.
Therefore, he did not dare to take the main road and go directly into the city. He wanted to dress up as a beggar first (actually there was no need to dress up, he already had the image of a beggar now), and then slowly approach Nanjing City.
However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. When he walked to a small town called Xiaozhuang Wharf, a dozen miles away from Nanjing, to beg for food, he was beaten and driven away by several other beggars. Only then did he realize that being a beggar was not an easy task. Beggars were divided into territories and levels. To go begging on other people's territory rashly was tantamount to grabbing food from a tiger's mouth. If you don't beat me, who will you beat? ?
Later, when it was dark, he took advantage of a bun shop owner who didn't pay attention, grabbed a few buns and ran away. Just when he was about to run out of the town, he was jumped by a dog on the roadside and bit him. He alerted several gang members and exposed himself.
At this time, Instructor Qi began to have difficulties, and with his observation skills developed over many years, he found that some strange and strong men began to appear in Xiaozhuang Pier and other large market towns, so he suspected that some gangster sent by Lu Er was responsible for the murder, and even more I don't dare to show up easily.
Today, he has arrived at Niujie Town, the closest town to Nanjing City. At this time, his appearance has changed drastically. His body has lost a lot of weight after more than ten days of hunger and cold. His hair is unkempt, and there is no clean spot on his face. His beard was long and scraggly, stained with a lot of dirt, and his tattered clothes and pants were so dirty that the color could not be distinguished. Only his eyes were still vigilantly observing the situation at the entrance of the town ahead.
At this time, he knew that time was running out. There was originally a path outside the town that could be taken around, but it was about to rain in the gloomy sky. In addition, he was now empty and hungry, and had no strength in his body. Moreover, the day before yesterday The wounds bitten by the dogs began to fester, and if he tried to find a way to go to Nanjing City to surrender, he was afraid that his injuries would kill him.
All he wanted to do now was to go into town to get some food. Even a little pig food would last him until he entered Nanjing.
As an artillery instructor for many years, he still has basic observation skills. He had already noticed a few men in black sitting in a tea shop at the entrance of the town. They didn't talk to each other, they just looked out with pairs of eyes, and he saw that they all had bulging bags on their waists, but they didn't have guns. Just because he had the knife hidden, he knew he must be one of Lu Er's men.
He had no better option now, so he could only try to be patient with them, and at the same time hope that it would rain soon. He saw that the tea shop simply had a thatched roof, which could not protect it from rain. After it rained, those gang members would definitely go inside to take shelter from the rain. As long as he sneaked into the town, could these gang members still be able to survive? Guarding the streets and houses like an army?
Not long after, when Instructor Qi's stomach growled again, the raindrops in the sky fell densely like flowers scattered by a goddess. Instructor Qi was not in a hurry, and just opened his mouth to swallow the rainwater that fell in his mouth. Not only was he hungry, he was also very thirsty.
Seeing the rain getting heavier and heavier, his vision began to blur. In his hazy eyes, Instructor Qi finally saw several big men unable to sit still and getting into the back room of the tea shop.
At this moment, seven or eight pedestrians who were rushing into the town to take shelter from the rain happened to run over carrying baskets on their backs. Instructor Qi imitated them and covered his head with his hands, jumped out from the roadside, and joined them without saying a word. The procession limped towards the town.
After entering the town, the group of people came to stand in front of the house with eaves to take shelter from the rain. Only then did they notice a foul smell coming from around them. They all turned their heads and finally discovered that Instructor Qi was even dirtier than a beggar. Everyone cursed in disgust, their voices getting louder and louder, and some even put down their baskets and started to chase people away.
For fear of alarming the gang members, Instructor Qi did not dare to retaliate. He could only walk into the pouring rain alone, staggering to the other side of the town soaking wet. Only he knew the misery in his heart.
Just half a month ago, I was a respected major instructor at the Central Army Military Academy, but now I have become a beggar spurned by several country bumpkins. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel sad, and my tears mixed with the rain. The sound went down.
How miserable he felt at this time, how strong his hatred for Song Mingxuan was.
