Wan Langzhong left, Zhang Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately started to go far to find herbs, but it was not early that day, and she had to receive porridge, take care of Zhang Shuisheng, and arrange her sister to eat and drink, it was not advisable to go far, she planned to go early the next morning. That night, she told Shi Shi that she was going out to look for medicine, and asked him to help from time to time to go over to see his father and sister, Shi nodded in agreement, and said: "You have to pay attention to yourself, Houttuynia cordata grows in the water, if the water is too deep, you don't want to go down, write down the place, and I will go with you next time." ”

"I know. Zhang Xing said that she still has a sick father and young sister to take care of, and she knows the severity of her own life, and she will not easily get into danger.

When she scrubbed Zhang Shuisheng and turned over this night, although Zhang Shuisheng woke up again, Zhang Xing didn't tell him what had happened in the past few days - he was so sick that he was unconscious, and telling him was nothing more than to make him more worried.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xing burned half a jar of mixed noodles with elm noodles and grass roots, ate half a bowl of them first, and left the rest for his sister, repeatedly telling her not to go far, no matter who calls, don't follow, if there is anything, go to the stone and Li Hongshi. He also taught her when to feed Zhang Shuisheng water and medicine, wipe sweat and fan in time, and so on. Arrange everything you can think of, hide the sharp iron pestle in your sleeve as usual, pull a basket and leave.

A few miles outside Huaiyang City was already barren, and the bark and grass roots were all stripped away. People are unpredictable, although Zhang Xing is carrying a sharp weapon, but he also knows that if he really encounters a ruthless person, he is afraid that he will only be a human food for nothing, so he avoids the road all the way, does not meet with people he does not know, and is very cautious, but whenever he notices the slightest wrong, he immediately hides it.

Walking cautiously until the middle of the day, I saw the village. Only the people in this village have endured the hardships of the homeless, and when they saw strangers, they drove dogs to chase them. Zhang Xing was almost bitten, and escaped by crossing the river with water, and no longer dared to come forward to beg, only secretly picked some wild grass and green leaves that could be eaten, and followed a few green melons and fruits in the vegetable garden, and found half a mile along the river, only to see the houttuynia floating in the river, and immediately went over to pick a basket full of water. Seeing that it was not early, I hurried back.

On the way back, he was still cautious, but he was really tired halfway, and when he passed by a hedgehed house with a lonely pestle beside the desolate ridge, he cautiously circled around, and there was no dog to see, so he stepped forward. After knocking for a while, no one responded, although Zhang Xing vaguely felt that something was wrong in her heart, she was really hungry and tired, and she had the courage to push the door open. A disgusting stench of decay rushed towards him, and countless green-headed flies that had rested on the dead man flew up at once, and three dead people lay on the ground, all with their eyes rolling and their mouths and noses filthy flowing all over the ground.

Zhang Xing was so frightened that the three souls fell out of two souls, and ran away until he was far away, his heart was still pounding, and then he didn't dare to drink the raw water in the river at will along the way, picked wild fruits on the ground to eat, ran for a while, and finally returned to the shed built by his own family of oilcloth in Huaiyang City before the sun went down, and hurriedly poured water to scrub his hands and face, and his heart was more steady.

Thinking that Zhang Tao was probably hungry for a day, he took out the cucumber in his arms, and while washing, he shouted: "Peach, peach." He screamed a few times, but Zhang Tao didn't answer.

Zhang Xing realized that something was wrong, Zhang Tao was very attached to her sister, and in the past, when she heard her footsteps coming back, she would run out screaming, but today she didn't see anyone for half of the meeting. Zhang Xing hurriedly put down the cucumber in his hand and went into the shed to look. Zhang Tao was really not inside, and Zhang Shuisheng was groggy. Zhang Xing screamed several times, and Zhang Shuisheng opened his eyes to look at her, and then closed his eyes.

Zhang Xing nudged his father to keep him from falling asleep, and asked, "Dad, Dad, where is Peach?" Zhang Shuisheng was groggy and called out, "Xing'er." Then he said, "Mr. Wan, Tao'er went with Mr. Wan." ”

Zhang Xing only felt that his head exploded with a bang, and he pulled out the iron pestle in his sleeve and rushed out. As the twilight fell, the air was filled with a stale sour smell of desperation. After the night breeze blew, Zhang Xing's crazy and chaotic head was slightly quiet.

The one surnamed Wan was kicked out, and he would not swagger so that everyone could see him come back and abduct her sister.

Zhang Xing pulled his legs and ran in the direction of the mass grave, that place was the land of the dead, and the living went the least, not far from here. Zhang Xing ran for a while, turned over a dirt hill, and sure enough, he heard someone crying. She climbed down the slope with a rolling belt, and the bark of the tree below the slope had long been stripped of its essence, and only the white trunk remained, and she saw at a glance that there were two figures, one large and one small, in the forest. Sister Zhang Tao's cry came down the wind.

"You're lying, I'm not going, I'm not going, let go of me!let me go!Sister, sister......"

"If you bark again, if you call again, I'll throw you to the mass grave in front and feed the wild dogs!"

Zhang Tao howled and cried, "You're a bad person, I won't go with you! You let go of me! Sister, sister, come quickly......"

Zhang Xing heard a crisp slap in front of her, and Zhang Tao cried breathlessly. She endured it, didn't say a word, only clenched the iron pestle in her hand more and more, approached quietly, went around to Wan Langzhong's back, aimed at his waist and abdomen, and slammed into it at once!

The iron pestle was polished by Zhang Xing many times, and it was extremely sharp, and Zhang Xing found the weakest point of his body again, and immediately plunged into it halfway. Na Wan Lang Zhongwan didn't expect someone to sneak attack behind him, and screamed, and couldn't help but let go of Zhang Tao and hold his waist and abdomen. However, he is an adult in the end, and he is an experienced Lang Zhong, he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xing, his eyes were full of fierce light, and without waiting for Zhang Xing to pull out the iron pestle, he held his breath, and kicked Zhang Xing hard with a kick.

Zhang Xing was kicked far away and hit a tree, and the sky and earth suddenly spun in front of him.

Although Wan Langzhong was injured in the waist and abdomen, but after all, he did not hurt the vital point, seeing that Zhang Xing couldn't get up for a while, he hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, tore open his shirt, poured all the medicine powder inside on the wound, and wrapped the hem of his shirt around his waist and abdomen. Seven-year-old Zhang Tao woke up from her shock at this time, crying and punching and kicking Wan Langzhong.

How many pounds of strength can a seven-year-old girl have? Wan Langzhong gently twisted Zhang Tao and threw it away. Looking at Zhang Xing, who was struggling to get up on the ground, he spat and scolded: "Look for death." Grabbing a stone on the ground, he slowly walked towards Zhang Xing, aiming at her thin head and was about to smash it down. Suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, and before he could turn around, he was hit by a force of gravity and threw himself forward, staggering a few steps, although he did not fall to the ground, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground. He was about to get up when a heavy object suddenly climbed on his back, and before he could react, his eyes suddenly ached.

Zhang Xing stood up with the body of the tree, the heavens and the earth were still spinning, she heard Zhang Tao crying, the stone screaming, and Wan Langzhong screaming. She shook her head, and the scene before her seemed to sway, and she saw Wan Langzhong kneeling on the ground, his face covered in blood, the stone on his shoulder, his hands clasped into his eyes, nose and nose. And Wan Langzhong grabbed the arm of the stone and tried to tear him off from himself.

Both men were yelling.

Zhang Xing stumbled over, pulled out the iron pestle in Wan Lang's waist and abdomen, aimed at his heart and stabbed it suddenly, pulled it out, and pricked it again, the warm liquid sprayed her face, and her hands kept moving, until she couldn't hear any more screams in her ears, then she threw the iron pestle and wiped a handful of blood on her face. ran over and hugged Zhang Tao tightly.
