Chapter 148: Crossing the Border

The guide, the old man from Yanmingdian, made an appointment with Xin Yi and the others to set off. Since he still had some supplies to purchase, he decided to set off the next night. At that time, he would come to the county town to pick up Xin Yi and the others. After explaining everything, the old man left the hotel and disappeared into the darkness of this border county town.

Because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the local border guards, Xin Yi and the others stayed in this small hotel. Although they bought local clothes, even if they dressed the same as the locals, they could still recognize that they were not locals at a glance. Because the locals have a typical subtropical climate and are full of sunshine, the locals have typical subtropical characteristics, with thick and dark skin, large pores, and usually large nostrils. This is related to the local humid air, and most of them are short, so nostrils will not have these characteristics no matter how they dress. There is also a big loophole in language barriers. Although locals also speak the common language of genius, they use their local dialect when communicating with outsiders. So in order to avoid trouble, they decided to stay in the hotel.

It was midnight, and a farm vehicle was parked at the entrance of the hotel. The guide, the old man from Yanmingdian, walked into the hotel in a neat outfit and greeted Xin Yi and others to set off. There were so many people in the cab of the farm vehicle. Each of the four of them carried a marching bag and climbed into the cargo compartment behind. The farm vehicle was pounding on the rugged country road and headed towards the border. After driving for about an hour, he finally stopped in a remote place. Several people jumped out of the car and saw that there was a large forest of sugarcane. The leaves of sugarcane were whispering in the night wind, as if a formation of soldiers Mosha was holding the sharp blade in his hand, ready to harvest the enemy's lives at any time.

The old man from Yanmingdian sent the agricultural vehicle driver away and told everyone to follow him and to get into the dense sugarcane forest first. So the four of them were Xu Maogong in front and Rossi followed closely behind, and finally Xin Yi behind the palace. The old man from Yanmingdian also plunged into the sugarcane forest. Don’t look at the old man from Yanmingdian, who is young, thin and so old, and he is not vague at all when walking. Xu Maogong is from a troop and has been working hard for many years, so he can still keep up with the speed of Yanmingdian. Although Rossi is a woman, he is not willing to fall behind. He follows Xu Maogong in step by step. He has never crawled into the topology of the forest. He is a person from a tropical place. After coming to this subtropical place, he has found a little home.

The feeling of the countryside is that the air humidity here is too high, so I feel very uncomfortable all over my body, so I rolled up the clothes on my arms and legs. When I got into the sugarcane forest, I knew I was at a loss. The thick sugarcane leaves kept slashing through his exposed skin like a knife, cutting out small holes, which was itchy and painful, so angry that Toumo cursed the damn sugarcane forest in his mother tongue, and even wanted to pull out the machete at the waist to cut down a large area of ​​itchyness and felt relieved. Xin Yi followed him behind and kept urging him to stop. However, after drilling in the sugarcane forest for more than ten minutes, Toumo finally gave up the idea of ​​refreshing, and quickly put down the clothes on his arms and legs, otherwise his exposed skin would be covered with blood.

I don’t know how wide this sugarcane forest is. The five people walked through it at a fast speed for more than half an hour. The old man from Yanmingdian in front finally stopped. A cool night wind was blowing in front of him. Xin Yi probably came to the edge of the sugarcane forest, so he stepped forward and came to the side of the Yanmingdian. At this time, the old man from Yanmingdian was squatting on the edge of the sugarcane forest, protruding his head outside to observe left and right. In front of the sugarcane forest was a small piece of open space, a small river in front of the open space, and a large piece of open space behind the open space, which is the so-called border line. Crossing the small river, opposite is Taiwan’s land. If it weren’t for the boundary markers erected on the border line between the two sides, no one would have thought that such a small river would separate the two sides.

Seeing that there was no movement on the left and right, the old man from Yanmingdian gathered a few people together and pointed to the river in front and said, "Taiwan is there on the other side of the river. The river is not deep and will only flood the chest at most. As long as you get off the river, don't look back no matter what happens. Just run to the opposite side and run into the sugarcane forest opposite. It will be safe. I will wait for you in that sugarcane forest."

"You mean we may be discovered by border soldiers?" Xu Maogong asked.

"It's hard to say that our border guards here are much stronger than those there, and there are basically no people there. So if you are discovered, just run to the opposite side. It will be safe to run to the sugarcane forest on the opposite side. I can't take care of you in this process, you can only ask for blessings on your own." Yanmingdian replied with a serious face. He has a lot of experience in the jungle, but he has no way to catch the border with such border warriors. It would be good if he could run away by himself, so I will explain this situation clearly to everyone first.

However, he was not sure about the skills of the people around him. The river was about two meters wide. Xin Yi was completely sure that he could jump over directly without going into the water. Moreover, Xin Yi believed that Xu Maogong and Luo Xi could do it. It would be more difficult to learn topology without learning this skill. If he really ran, it would not be necessary for the elderly in Yanmingdian to run to the sugarcane forest opposite, but no one said it, because looking at the surrounding situation, it seemed that there would be no border soldiers, so everyone could just quietly wad the river and pass by, and there was no need to make these shocking tricks.

After explaining these words, the old man in Yanmingdian stood up and said in a low voice: "Go!" He leaned forward, his feet pushed the ground and rushed out of the sugarcane forest like a clever cheetah, crossed the open space in the middle and rushed towards the river. Xin Yi and others followed him and rushed forward. In just ten seconds, a few people had already crossed the open space and rushed to the river. The old man in Yanmingdian did not slow down at all. His feet kicked on the shore, and his whole person flew out flat and fell into the river. Xin Yi saw that the old man in Yanmingdian was about to approach the water surface, and his hands and legs suddenly bowed back at an incredible angle. Only the chest and belly were in contact with the water surface.

With a "bang" sound, it was strange that the body of the old man Yanmingdian did not sink into the water like a normal person. Instead, he slid two meters flat on the water surface to the opposite bank. The position where he jumped to the river surface had reached the middle, and with the inertia on the water surface, his body was only one meter away from the other side. Just as his body was slowing down on the water surface, he waved his hand and took advantage of the opportunity to complete the last distance to the other side. The old man Yanmingdian did not stop for a moment after reaching the other side, and immediately ran towards the sugarcane forest on the opposite side. After a while, his thin body had already disappeared in the thick sugarcane forest on the other side.

When the old man in Yanmingdian got into the sugarcane forest on the other side, the people on the shore were still standing in shock, and even forgot to go into the water. They had never heard of this incredible way to cross the river. They had already crossed to the other side without going into the water. Could this be the legendary martial arts master floating on the water? Or was it the "crossing the river with one reed" by the ancestors? But the old man in Yanmingdian was useless to even reeds. Could it be that he was even more powerful than the ancestors?

Finally, Xu Maogong came back to his senses first, and he urged, "Let's go!" Then he jumped into the river first. The fruit of the river was indeed not deep, and could only flood everyone's waists. It seemed that the old man in Yanmingdian was right. He said that the flooding of his chest was just based on his own figure as the standard. His height was about one head shorter than everyone. These people, including Rossi, were tall, so the river could only flood everyone's waists. Fortunately,

Without the sudden appearance of the border guards as the old man in Yanmingdian said, the four of them waded across the river and were all wet, but they did not dare to stop for a moment. They quickly passed through the open space on the other side and rushed into the sugarcane forest. In the sugarcane forest, they saw the old man in Yanmingdian who had already taken out his tobacco and were living a beautiful tobacco. Topology foolishly walked to the old man in Yanmingdian, stretched out his hand to touch his back, and murmured to himself: "It's true that they are not wet."

The old man from Yanmingdian knocked off the ashes of the tobacco pipe on his soles, put away the pipe and said, "Now we are going to pass through this sugarcane forest. After leaving the sugarcane forest, there is a small village. We have to go around the side of the village, and then there is a dense jungle. Only when we enter the jungle can we get rid of Taiwan's border guards. We can find a place in the jungle to make a torch and roast the wet clothes on our bodies."

"Well, let's leave now, otherwise it will be troublesome when someone is discovered at dawn." Xin Yi said.

"Yes, although it doesn't matter if you are seen by local villagers, there are assistant defensemen in every village. If someone finds that they cross the border, they will report to the border guards. At that time, they will inevitably spend another money," said the old man from Yanmingdian. "Then let's go, just follow me closely like before you just now. Don't get lost. If you get lost in the sugarcane forest, there is no place to find someone. Don't get lost before you enter the jungle."

It took another half an hour to pass through the sugarcane forest. At the end of the sugarcane forest was the small village that the old man in Yanmingdian mentioned. The five people walked around the small village and touched the fields on the side. I don’t know how long they had walked. I don’t know how far the jungle that the old man in Yanmingdian mentioned was. This time, the topology followed closely by the old man in Yanmingdian. Seeing that he didn’t know how long it would take, I finally couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “That, senior, what kung fu did you use when you cross the river just now? That’s so amazing, can you teach me?”

The old man from Yanmingdian saw that he was far from the village and was not afraid of anyone hearing it, so he smiled and replied, "That's not Kung Fu. Have you ever seen a lizard crossing the water? One truth."

The topology didn't understand what the old man meant, what the lizard crossed the water, and was about to ask again, but the old man from Yanmingdian suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Look, there is the edge of the jungle, and you can enter the jungle after walking for a short time."
