Xiaohua burst into tears, was helped up by Luzon and asked, "Where is the injury?"

"Wow wow...... I'm not hurt! Look at Brother Han Sheng, in order to save me...... Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Xiaohua cried.

Lu Orion squatted down and carefully examined Zhong Hansheng's wounds, touched it with his hand again, and said to the person who helped next to him: "Don't move, your leg is broken, you can't move at this time, Erhe, you go to Hansheng's mother's house and lift the plank on the bed." ”

Yamato and a few young and strong men hurriedly went to carry the plank, and Lu Orion squatted on the ground and sighed: "A gray-haired wild boar of less than 100 catties, fortunately it is a juvenile wild boar cub, if it is an adult big black pig of four or five hundred catties, you two would have been saved a long time ago!" Fortunately, fortunately!"

......

Lu Orion often goes into the mountains to hunt, inevitably bruises and injuries, there are many herbs in the mountains, Orion knows some ways to save themselves, but the bones are broken to connect, Lu Orion is not sure, dare not start to pick it up, so he uses game and grain, invites the famous Langzhong nearby, puts the bones in position, fixes them with wooden boards, and opens a prescription.

According to the house, Lu Lihu went up the mountain to pick some herbs, some of which were not in season, and could not be collected, so he borrowed them from the village to recuperate for Zhong Hansheng.

Zhong Hansheng was in bed, Xiaohua never left, and took care of him with Zhong Wang's family.

Taking Zhong Hansheng properly, Lu Lihu took more than a dozen middle-aged people in the village, with four or five soil, guns, single-barreled and shotguns, and five or six hunting dogs, and went into the mountains together, and finally took the wild boar's nest, and led people to dig a lot of large traps near the hillside near the village, I heard that there were bandits on the mountain, but they never came down to attack the civilians of Shanghe Village.

Zhong Hansheng and Xiaohua, who are recuperating from injuries in the village, get along day and night, one is a handsome and tall guy, and the other is a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth.

As a father, how could Lu Lihu not notice what his daughter was thinking, and he was very satisfied with Zhong Hansheng in his heart, so let them be.

For Xiaohua, the moment Zhong Hansheng yelled loudly to hold on to himself in order to save himself, the glance that looked at her took root in his heart and could no longer be shaken off.

Where does Zhong Hansheng know this, he only knows that it is fun to swing Xiaohua's two big braids around, but the strange thing is that not seeing Xiaohua for a long time is like losing his soul.

For three months, although Zhong Hansheng's leg still hurt a little, he was able to get off the ground and walk slowly.

His mother, Zhong Wang, couldn't stay idle, learned to do manual work with the women in the village, and planned to open a piece of land on the side of the mountain, planning to plant some crops and vegetables in the coming year.

Lu Orion hunted two hares on the mountain, stewed one, and asked Xiaohua to bring it to Zhong Hansheng's mother and daughter.

Zhong Hansheng looked at Xiaohua sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he was crazy, and didn't care about what meat and vegetables Xiaohua brought.

Xiaohua met Zhong Hansheng's gaze, turned her head shyly, blushed, and lowered her head.

Zhong Hansheng himself didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly became obsessed and kissed Xiaohua's face.

Xiaohua's eyes are red and she wants to cry.

"What...... What's wrong?" Zhong Hansheng stammered.

Xiaohua covered her face, sobbed twice, and walked away quickly.

Zhong Hansheng sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time, and slapped his face twice.

The next day, Zhong Hansheng limped to the hillside, Xiaohua was still herding sheep here, walked over slowly, scratched his head and said, "Rape flower, that ...... Brother Han Sheng apologizes to you...... It's me who is wrong, and I don't know what's going on...... It's going to be like a ghost, why don't you hit me twice...... Forget it, you won't hit people either,...... Then I'll hit it twice myself, and you look at it and get angry. "With his eyes closed, he punched himself twice in the chest.

Zhong Hansheng only felt that Xiaohua's wrist was grabbed, his cheeks were hot, and when he opened his eyes, Xiaohua's face was flushed, and he lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Hansheng, don't beat yourself." ”

"Ah...... That...... So you're not angry......? Did you kiss me?" Zhong Hansheng said incoherently.

Xiaohua turned around and left shyly, Zhong Hansheng chased after him, took Xiaohua's hand, and said in surprise: "Rape flower!"

Xiaohua turned around, still lowered her head, and said in a very small voice: "Brother Hansheng......", and closed her eyes shyly after speaking.

Zhong Hansheng hugged Xiaohua and laughed loudly.

Xiaohua was tightly bound by Zhong Hansheng's arm, and said ashamedly and angrily: "Let me go." ”

"Don't let it go! Hahaha!" Zhong Hansheng laughed loudly.

......

Zhong Hansheng, who tasted love for the first time, didn't know how to express it very well, and would only help Xiaohua do some hard work, and when he went out to herd sheep, he guarded well near the hillside, and snakes and insects were no longer used to scare Xiaohua.

Since he cried Xiaohua in one mouthful, he didn't dare to take another step beyond Lei Chi, since then, Zhong Hansheng seems to have changed as a person, and he has begun to pay attention to it, he used to wear only pants when he went to the river to swim, but now he wears a shirt every day, and his crazy messy hair and beard are also cleaned up.

Lu Lihu also officially accepted Zhong Hansheng as an apprentice, and began to teach him to practice marksmanship and knife skills, thinking that life would be so dull, waiting for a year and a half, giving his mother a breath, and then begging the master to marry Xiaohua to him, and the family would be close to each other, and live a peaceful and happy life.

Sometimes fate is the most unreasonable, it will inadvertently come to you for a while, making you feel painful and helpless.

Winter goes to spring, Zhong Hansheng has been in Shanghe Village for a year, and he has changed a lot, his skin has become dark, he is taller, his arms and chest are full of bulging muscles, and from a distance, he seems to have grown into a strong mountain man.

For this apprentice, Lu Orion is quite complacent, there are too many advantages to say, but there is only one disadvantage, that is, his temperament is too straight, he can't hold things in his heart, and his temperament still has to be sharpened in order to be stable. No, an incident a few days ago made Lu Orion slightly embarrassed.

The apprentice begged the master to give him the little flower, Lu Orion pretended to take a look, and then acquiesced, but he didn't expect Han Sheng's kid to be overjoyed, and ran out to shout at the mountain for a long time, and now the whole village knows, Xiaohua hid in the room and didn't come out, his wife Lu Song knocked on the door several times and didn't open it, and finally asked in a hurry, and replied shyly that his father and mother were in charge, and Lu Orion understood his daughter's mind after hearing it, which made Lu Orion angry and funny, and his face still didn't stop after enduring it for a long time, and he stood at the door and smiled.

Zhong Hansheng discussed with his mother, and planned to take out some of the grain and meat from this year's farming and hunting, and go to the town to exchange some flower cloths, pots and pans, etc., as a bride price for marrying.

Just when Zhong Hansheng pulled a cart carrying grain and dried meat, and went to the town to change things to marry Xiaohua, a big incident happened.

In early May 1942, the invading Japanese army gathered more than 50,000 Japanese and puppet troops, dispatched a large number of planes, tanks, and artillery to launch an unprecedentedly cruel and barbaric "ironclad encirclement" sweep against the military and civilians of central China.

The land of China is facing an unprecedented crisis, compared with the Japanese puppet army, the equipment and strength of the Eighth Route Army are very different, but they are sworn to fight to the death and carry out a bloody resistance. Relying on the superiority in equipment and troops, the enemy adopted the tactics of "pulling the net" and "combing the grate" in multiple and dense ways, and our main force stubbornly resisted the enemy and suffered heavy losses.

The cadres of the counties, districts, and townships were forced to disperse and hide, and the anti-Japanese guerrillas were forced to break into pieces and go underground.

Relying on its superior strength, the Japanese army "encircled" and "cleared" the anti-Japanese forces and cadres everywhere, and searched for anti-Japanese materials.

Adopting the "three-light policy" means "burning, killing, and robbing everything" and frantically slaughtering the masses, leaving no grass wherever they go.

Wherever there were anti-Japanese activities, they would go to "clean up" and "harbor" the Eighth Route Army, and burn and kill them wherever they had "harbored." For a time, wailing was everywhere, the people were struggling to make a living, and countless tragic tragedies were created.

When Zhong Hansheng arrived in the market town, he found that it was different from usual, the vendors on the street were gone, people were shouting and running on the street with nervous expressions, many residents were packing up their things, there was no order, and the whole market town was a mess.

Finally stopped an old man, and only after asking did he know that the devil was coming, so hurry up and run for his life, Zhong Hansheng was anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly pulled the cart to rush home.

Pulling the cart to drive more than ten miles of mountain roads, it was dark before returning to the entrance of the village, standing at the head of the Qinghe Ancient Bridge, seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Zhong Hansheng threw the handlebar in his hand and stood in place.

The calm and peaceful mountain village is like a hell on earth at the moment, with thick smoke billowing out, houses full of flames, crying, crying, and collapsing sounds, I don't know how many people died in the rubble, under the devil's bayonets, in the devil's guns.

Zhong Hansheng rushed to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain like crazy, the wooden house had been burned to a black charcoal, and it was still smoking, and he didn't care about the scorching heat, and he was digging with his bare hands in the ruins in the smoke and dust, choking and coughing.

Finally, when he found his mother, Zhong Wang, half of his body was scorched and he had long been out of breath, Zhong Hansheng lost his mind and cried loudly.

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly remembered the master's family, put down my mother, and rushed towards Lu Orion's house.

In the dark, in the panic, Zhong Hansheng was grabbed by the shoulder, "Hansheng!" glanced sideways, it was the master Lu Orion.

"Master, are you alright, master?......? Master, my mother is gone!ah......!" Zhong Hansheng shouted after speaking.

Lu Orion reached out and covered his mouth tightly, pinched his shoulder tightly with the other hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't howl, the devil hasn't gone far or not, it's already this time, calm down!"

Where did Zhong Hansheng calm down, broke free of his master's hand, and asked with a crying voice: "What about the master, what about Xiaohua, are you okay?"

Lu Orion's tears flowed, but his voice was still calm, "Your master is gone, before the devil came, your master let her hide in the cellar, and only then did she pick up a life!"

Zhong Hansheng thumped his hands and feet, "Alas......! Why didn't the master go into the cellar?!"

"The entrance to the cellar is too obvious, and your master has laid straw on it, if she gets in, no one will be able to live if no one is camouflaged!"

Zhong Hansheng squatted on the ground and kept crying, Lu Orion sobbed and continued: "I heard Xiaohua say, if you want to get some wild things and go to the town to change something, I will go into the mountains to try my luck, where did you think of it...... , encountering such a catastrophe ....... ”

"What about the little flower?" Zhong Hansheng looked up and asked.
