Chapter 5 The Great Water
"Mother!!" Zhang Xing shouted sharply. However, in the blink of an eye, Ye Hexiang's figure was invisible. Zhang Tao was afraid that her sister wouldn't want her anymore, so she hugged Zhang Xing's leg and was still crying heartbreakingly.
The rain seemed to be heavier again, Zhang Xing's body was already soaked, the wind blew, the cold penetrated into the bones, under the dark sky, except for the occasional moment illuminated by lightning, it seemed that everywhere was the same, the same cold, the same black.
Zhang Xing wiped a handful of the rain on her face, tied the package behind her back to her chest, squatted down and said to Zhang Tao, "Don't cry, I'll help you go." ”
Zhang Tao was only seven years old, and she was extremely frightened, as if her sister's legs were her only way to live, she hugged her tighter and tighter, and she didn't dare to relax at all, she only shook her head and cried hard.
Zhang Xing swallowed her saliva and said, "Loose, let go, don't worry, I will never leave you." ”
Zhang Tao raised her head at this time, her face was covered with tears and snot, and she looked at Zhang Xing sadly. Zhang Xing pulled her fingers away little by little, helped her up, and said, "Come, let's go and try it first." ”
Zhang Tao took a step, slipped straight down, and cried again, shouting: "Sister, it hurts, it hurts." ”
Zhang Xing also wanted to cry, but she also knew in her heart that it was useless to cry, so she squatted down and said, "Don't cry, I'll carry you away." Zhang Tao trembled and sent his hand away, and after climbing on his sister's back, he hurriedly hugged her neck.
Zhang Xing sent her sister up a few points, gritted her teeth and walked forward. She was ten years old, and she was originally thin, and this time she carried her seven-year-old sister on her back and walked about half a column of incense kung fu, and she was so tired that she was out of breath. Zhang Tao was still sobbing quietly, Zhang Xing gasped and said, "Don't cry." Zhang Tao responded obediently, and rubbed her face against her sister gently. Zhang Xing's heart was sour, and she couldn't let go of her hand, so she had to grit her teeth and continue to move forward.
I don't know how long they walked, but they suddenly heard a tapping sound in front of them, as if someone was coming in the rain. Zhang Xing sent her sister up again, touched the rain on her face, and squinted her eyes to look forward. Hazy in the rain and mist, a black shadow jumped this way.
Zhang Xingzheng was at a loss, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Xing'er, Peach!"
The surprise in Zhang Xing's heart burst suddenly, and Zhang Tao was already crying loudly, "Dad, Dad......"
In a blink of an eye, the man was in front of him, with a long face, wet clothes and a thin and tall body, it was Zhang Xing's father, Zhang Shuisheng. Zhang Xing also felt that her eyes were sour, and after smiling and shouting Dad, she couldn't speak anymore.
This night, it happened to be Zhang Shuisheng and Li Dazhu's turn to patrol the embankment, and after getting the news of Yu'an's embankment, he and Li Dazhu were two, one of them sounded the gong to warn the village, and the other went to the township to report the incident. When I was done, I rushed home, and met Ye Hexiang on the way. He saw that the mother-in-law had picked up a burden, and there was only her son by her side, but her two daughters were missing. After asking for a long time, the mother-in-law couldn't say why. He was anxious, and he knew that this woman didn't like the two girls, so he couldn't help but move his fists. Then the woman cried and said that the younger daughter fell and couldn't walk, and the eldest daughter was disobedient, so she had to take care of herself and leave first.
Zhang Shui was so angry that if it weren't for Li Dazhu's family to stop him, he would have beaten that stupid woman to death. After entrusting Ye Hexiang's mother and son to Li Dazhu, he hurried over to find his two daughters.
Looking at his two daughters with a smile and a smile, Zhang Shuisheng's heart was sour, and without saying a word, he took the younger daughter on his back, took the eldest daughter's hand, and said, "Let's go quickly." ”
The father and daughter continued to move forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the wind was cold and the rain was urgent, and they couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night, the avenue in the direction of Yuxian County was very familiar, Zhang Shuisheng was in a hurry, Zhang Xing ran out of breath, and almost fell down several times, if it weren't for Zhang Shui's life and death pulling, I am afraid that I would not have been able to go down a long time ago.
The wind and rain did not stop, the sound of dripping and dripping continued, Zhang Shuisheng suddenly stood still, Zhang Xing panted and hit his father headlong, and hurriedly supported his forehead to stand firm, wanting to ask him why he didn't leave, but saw Zhang Shuisheng's chest rising and falling rapidly, and his thin and tall body was also trembling. Zhang Xing realized that the ground under her feet was shaking, she didn't know what was going on, and looked at the ground under her feet in panic.
Zhang Shuisheng grabbed her arm and shouted, "Let's go! The water is coming!" almost dragged Zhang Xing to a big tree in front of him, Zhang Tao was frightened this night, and his hands were tightly wrapped around his father's neck from beginning to end.
Soon arrived under the tree, Zhang Shuisheng grabbed Zhang Xing with both hands and shouted, "Xing'er, climb up!
Zhang Xing's movements didn't have time to pass through his brain, and he hugged the trunk with both hands. But climbing a tree is a skillful job, she has never done it, and she only pulled it up a few times under Zhang Shuisheng's strength, and before she could get out of Zhang Shuisheng's hand, a cold and rich water vapor came to her face.
Syllable!
The cold water was a blow to her head, her breath was blocked, it was pitch black all around, her ears couldn't hear any sound, and another checkmate made her mind think of the past. She couldn't move, she couldn't see, but she knew that the woman was beside her. Many times she was unconscious, but now she could feel it, she could smell the perfume she was used to, and her silky fingers slid across her face. She wanted to take it away and knock it out, but she couldn't.
With a snort, the woman chuckled, "Gu Xiao, after a long time, it turns out that you still don't know that your son is dead?" She exhaled, "Your husband also has a part in that matter." Otherwise, why do we know your every move? Oh, you've been with him for almost ten years, I'm afraid you still don't know that Lu Dao is a ruthless and anxious person, right? Last night, he tossed me badly, and now your property in Yuhai Garden has been transferred to my name. If you fall in love with such a man, and you also cost your son's life, tsk, Gu Xiao, if I were you, I would have been killed by a headlong collision, so half-dead and dragged along, who do you want to disgust? Listen to me, or go on the road earlier, lest your precious son be alone. ”
She really hated, she had never hated it so much, she wanted to break this woman and that man to death, but she couldn't move, her throat seemed to be choked, and her breath was cut off all at once.
She didn't want to die, and the surging hatred made her heart so unwilling.
Hold on, up, go up, the depression in her chest disappeared at once, she gasped, and the rain poured down on her face, washing away all despair and hatred. She was still alive, but she became a different person. All kinds of things in the past, such as yesterday's death, and all kinds of things in the future, such as today's life.
Zhang Xing hugged the branch and looked around, a lightning bolt struck in the black paint lent her a brief light, and there was water everywhere. She looked left and right and didn't find her father Zhang Shuisheng and sister Zhang Tao.
"Daddy, Daddy, Zhangtao!" she screamed, but the only thing that answered her was the roar of the rain, the roar of the flood, and the howling of the wind.
