The grass is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the fog is everywhere. It seems that the noon sun cannot penetrate this white haze that is not known how it was formed.
Tuoba Lan was walking slowly beside Lu Ming. She accidentally fell into the swamp and almost died. Fortunately, the madman stretched out his hand and pulled him up. Tuoba Lan was more careful and followed the madman. His whole body was covered with mud and water, and he couldn't do anything at all. Can't care anymore.
Um? Lu Ming suddenly stopped. He could only see a few dozen steps away. There was something dark and dark in the swamp on the left front.
"Go this way..." Lu Ming slowly waded on the muddy grass. If his feet were weak, he would not be able to walk. Every step he took was extremely slow.
"Oh, yak..." The dark thing stuck in the swamp turned out to be a yak-like bison. This world has its own name, but Lu Ming automatically transformed it into a yak in his mind.
At this time, the yak seemed to have given up its struggle, even if it whined, it no longer whined. Only half of its body was left exposed, quietly waiting for death.
Lu Ming sighed softly, and suddenly remembered the documentary he watched in his previous life. There was a bison stuck in a mud pit and swamp. The lion approached it and started to eat it from its exposed buttocks. He didn't know what kind of cruel torture it was to be eaten alive like this.
I thought at that time that if I were here, I would definitely save the bison. It was not that I was interfering with nature, but that I felt it was too cruel.
When wild beasts hunt for food, most of them bite them to death and then eat them alive. Hyenas are one type, but hyenas should only be hunting. Judging from its size and the size of its prey, it does bite the fragile ones first when it preys. It's more efficient in places like the anus, but hyenas don't intentionally torture their prey.
The only ones who intentionally torture their prey are primates, and the representative animal is the baboon. Many baboons take pleasure in torturing their prey. For example, they will catch a fawn and deliberately tease it on a rock that the mother deer cannot reach. They will eat it but not eat it. He would tease the doe as if he were letting go of the fawn, and finally eat the fawn alive in front of the doe. He would literally break off its legs alive and chew them up while the fawn screamed. The poor doe could only watch under the rock. With.
Primates are very smart. This is not their instinct, but they really enjoy the pleasure of torturing their prey.
Therefore, the most cruel animals must be primates.
I'm afraid that humans are the worst. Fortunately, humans have developed civilization, a sense of morality, and the rule of law.
Lu Ming sighed in his heart, and slowly and tentatively waded into the water to get closer to the yak.
"What are you doing?" Tuoba Lan exclaimed behind him.
"Let me see if I can save it." Lu Ming said, and he had already stood still. If he moved forward, the grass he was stepping on would become very loose.
Two or three steps ahead, there is a muddy puddle with a mess of floating grass. The yak must have been struggling for a long time when it first fell into it, but now it is afraid that it has no strength at all.
Lu Ming looked around and saw that there happened to be a tree. Then he took out a rope from his bag, which was necessary for crossing the grassland and swamp areas.
Tuoba Lan stood by and watched in shock as the madman tied the rope to the tree. The other end was not tied to the yak, but was held by the madman. Then, the madman slowly entered the other end of the swamp. Next to the yak, his body was slowly sinking. He seemed to be struggling on purpose and gradually lost his head.
Then, the mud around the yak suddenly began to stir and fly in all directions.
"Hey" there was a loud roar, and suddenly a black shadow emerged from the muddy water, but it was the yak's front hooves that was carried out.
The yak seemed to suddenly come to life. Its front legs were no longer restrained, and it struggled immediately. Then it seemed to be pushed by something under the swamp and moved a few steps. The front legs finally rested on a relatively solid layer of soil.
Tuoba Lan subconsciously wanted to help, but then she knew that she couldn't help at all.
"Hey!" shouted again.
But the madman suddenly emerged from under the yak, as if carrying the yak, and violently moved forward for a few steps. The yak's hind legs finally broke free from the swamp, and crawled out of the swamp with the madman, and then collapsed together on the ground. , at the same time, the bent tree suddenly uprooted and slowly tilted to the ground.
After all, the roots of the trees next to the swamp cannot be very strong, and they were almost uprooted by the force.
Tuoba Lan stared at this scene dumbfounded. This madman was simply stronger than an ox. It was unbelievable.
Lu Ming was already lying on the ground gasping for air, his throat was a little sweet, and his whole body was covered in black mud and he couldn't care less.
…
This yak named "Xiao Hei" by Lu Ming actually lives in the swamp grassland. Its limbs are relatively large and its body is short and thick, and it looks like a boat. It has lived in a watery environment for a long time, and is very good at swimming. It is very easy to cross ordinary rivers, and its body shape can float like a boat when crossing grassy swamps, and can slowly cross over the surface of the swamp; if it gets stuck, When it gets too deep, it will automatically stop and find a new path.
In fact, I don't know how it got stuck in the swamp. It was probably frightened.
With Xiao Hei leading the way, the two of them walked much faster.
Xiao Hei is very understanding of human nature and knows that Lu Ming saved it, and is very close to Lu Ming.
Sometimes, artillery can even be seen trapped in the swamp.
I also knew that it was the baggage left behind by the remnants of Chen Xingchang and Ma Quanyou, and there were probably many soldiers swallowed by the swamp.
"Well, you go up!"
There was an area of water and grass in front of him. Xiao Hei swam in excitedly, with only his back exposed. He turned back as if to signal Lu Ming to sit up.
Three days have passed, and the white fog is now very thin, and we will probably be out of the haze area soon.
Lu Ming pointed at Xiao Hei's back to signal Tuoba Lan.
Tuoba Lan was stunned, and now he was increasingly confused about what kind of person this madman was.
It can be said that saving the cow was to gain the strength to cross the swamp. But after rescuing the yak, the lunatic regained a little strength and went to straighten the tree that he had pulled down and replant it with soil.
Simply a saint.
"Come up!" Lu Ming came over, gently held her armpits with both hands and placed her on Xiao Hei.
In the past three days, Tuoba Lan has become accustomed to being carried around by him like a little chicken.
In a land of smog and swamp, every step is frightening. You may pay the price with your life at any time, and there is no time to think too much.
However, when the dazzling sunlight finally fell on the two of them, Tuoba Lan couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
The river was full of sludge, as if the eastern half of the river was shrouded in haze. From the middle of the river, the sun gradually appeared, and to the west bank of the river, the sky was blue and the sun was shining high.
Tuoba Lan and Lu Ming were both covered in mud, like clay figures wrapped in mud. However, the mud-stained clothes clung to their skin and exposed their curves. Tuoba Lan realized this and couldn't help but exclaimed.
But then he saw that this madman also had a high chest, like a woman with a good figure, and couldn't help but laugh.
…
The vast desert hills.
Behind a mound, Lu Ming and Tuoba Lan were sitting on the ground, while Xiao Hei was leisurely nibbling on the extremely sparse wilderness vegetation nearby.
The water on the west bank of the river was slightly clearer. The two of them took turns to wash in it, but they did it with their clothes on. After all, they didn't bring any change of clothes. At this time, Lu Ming's clothes were already dry.
Tuoba Lan was wrapped in a green raincoat. The clothes naturally dried slowly, but without the protection of the raincoat, the clothes that had been tossed in the mud for several days would naturally be wet after being washed away from the mud.
Tuoba Lan looked at this madman with an increasingly strange look.
The raincoat was given to her by the madman, and the camping bag was the only thing the madman carried.
However, the marching bag of the Montenegrin regular army is indeed amazing.
Let’s talk about food. From the moment we entered the swamp, we have been eating food from the camping bag, a kind of very unpleasant biscuits, and chocolate bars that are too hard to chew. But I have to say that these foods are very good at replenishing physical strength. .
The packaging is also very moisture-proof. If the camping bag falls into water, it will have no effect on the food.
"Can you change back to a man's attire?" Tuoba Lan was a little helpless, "I, I look a little awkward. There should be no pursuers here."
Um? Lu Ming then understood and coughed: "Actually, this is all true..." and pointed to his chest.
Indeed, this body has been temporarily transformed. If stripped naked, it would be no different from the upper body of a woman.
"What?" Tuoba Lan was stunned. When he was raped by this lunatic, he was filled with grief, anger and panic, but he didn't pay attention to his chest.
It's strange. Now that I think about that night, I don't seem so angry anymore. After spending more than ten days together, especially the three days in the smog and swamp, I lived with this madman, went through many hardships, and only relied on each other. I felt inexplicably. Variety.
But the lunatic suddenly said something shocking: Was this woman's body born like this?
"Are you lying to me?" Tuoba Lan looked in disbelief.
Lu Ming sighed, "Actually, if you think about it, I might as well dress up like this and pretend to be a woman. In this way, we will travel a long distance, so that Dahan won't have a grudge. You don't want me to die, but you are afraid that I will die too."
Tuoba Lan thought about it, but then she was startled, frowned fiercely, and stared at Lu Ming: "What on earth are you planning? You are obviously a man!" As he spoke, his face became slightly hot, and his beautiful eyes stared at Lu Ming. , became angry again.
Thinking back to that night, it was clear that this guy was a man. Unintentionally, I touched something that was not human. It was simply scary.
Lu Ming coughed, "It's true that I am a man at heart, but my upper body is like this. Really, if you don't believe it, look at it!" After saying that, he unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his upper body to Tuoba Lan.
Tuoba Lan hurriedly turned her head, but she could see clearly from the corner of her eye. It was true that she stood proudly, naturally perfect, and had an absolutely beautiful figure that could rival her own.
"Put it on quickly! Put it on quickly!" Tuoba Lan said randomly, feeling confused in her heart. She had heard of such a pervert, but she didn't want to encounter it.
Lu Ming sighed softly at this time, "I have been like this since I was a child. In fact, since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a woman. Maybe this time is also a good thing. I can be the myself I want."
Tuoba Lan has read poetry and books, and knows that this kind of transvestite is really a woman at heart, but she has not been able to get the identity she hopes for in her life, which is very pitiful.
Perhaps this is the reason for all the weird behaviors of this madman.
He is obviously a very kind and compassionate person. He is willing to risk his life to save a cow in the swamp and even replant the tree he knocked down.
But he is usually very violent and bloodthirsty, and even likes to rape women. I heard that he had been punished a long time ago. He was guilty of meritorious service, and he also intended to violate himself, adding guilt to crime.
Over there, Lu Ming sighed softly, "I have thought about it. From now on, my name will be Wang Dahua. From the day I was born, I have been a woman. Queen, do you agree?"
Tuoba Lan looked at him, with pity in her beautiful eyes, and finally nodded gently: "Okay, you are the sister of the border tribe who I have known for a long time, but we never met again after I got married, until the southerners invaded the grassland. , you followed me again and helped me escape from the tiger's mouth."
Lu Ming felt slightly guilty when he heard her sympathetic soft words, but in order to completely pacify the Northern Territory as soon as possible, he had disguised himself as a woman and deceived the enemy, so what's the harm?
He thought about it and said: "How we escaped, we have to think about it carefully."
Tuoba Lan nodded lightly.
