On the crooked-necked tree outside the Blessed Inn, another nest of milk swallows waiting for the swallows to come back to nurse is chirping under the gray-white sky.

"Stinky girl, aren't you leaving? To stay here is to wait for death. Mrs. Liu said, Jinyu didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Ke and didn't speak.

"You all listen, when this time comes, if you are willing to follow me, follow me, if you don't want to, go by yourself, in this season, it is also your ability to survive."

The children below lowered their heads, most of them followed Liu San's wife and Qian San to the top of the slope, Jinyu and Zhao Ke, who was immobile, stayed in the inn, and the black-faced shopkeeper with a sad face quickly packed up the things, and reluctantly looked at the inn where he had worked hard for most of his life, and ran to the top of the mountain without looking back, in less than a quarter of an hour.

The inn was empty and there was no one there.

Jinyu helped Zhao Ke with some difficulty, his legs could no longer walk, without help, Jinyu had no way to take him to a safe place, but if he was left alone, Jinyu felt very sad.

It's so sad that she can't do such a thing at all.

Jinyu collected some food and water and moved it to the roof of the second floor, when Jinyu came down, the water had already flooded the first floor, Zhao Ke sat alone on the table, Jinyu couldn't move him to the roof with all her strength.

"What should I do? Zhao Ke. ”

Jinyu leaned out of the patio halfway, Zhao Ke stretched out his hand and pushed her up, the flood violently hit the small building that was not very strong, and Jinyu suddenly jumped down from it.

The water had already flooded her chest, and she struggled to move a chair, stacked it on the table, and hugged Zhao Ke's waist.

"Go up." Zhao Ke turned his head and looked at her deeply, his thin arms suddenly exerted force, and he climbed onto the chair, but the other foot that couldn't move was a little spasmodic, and he fell off the chair again, and even fell down with Jinyu.

The yellow flood mixed with the branches and stones scratched Jinyu's arm, and she felt that her shoulder seemed to be hit very badly, and it seemed to be broken, but she couldn't care about it so much, she stood up and helped Zhao Ke to the table.

Touching his right leg, which was already black and purple.

"It hurts, hold on a little longer, and you'll be fine for a while." Jinyu wiped the water from her face and climbed up a ladder, on which she tied a piece of straw rope to her waist and fixed the other end to the roof.

"Reach out, I'll pull you." Zhao Ke looked at the little hands and stretched out his hand, Jinyu used all his strength to finally pull Zhao Ke up.

Zhao Ke hugged Jinyu's small body, held her in his arms, and didn't speak for a long time.

The crooked-necked tree outside the Blessed Inn was not washed down by the flood, and the swallow kept the milk swallow in its arms, but it did not chirp.

"Do you think we're going to die?" Jinyu looked at Zhao Ke, the rain quickly wet their clothes, Zhao Ke's expression froze, and he wrote a sentence in the palm of her hand.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sad, Zhao Ke, I want to go home, I want to protect my mother, I want to do a lot of things, so I don't want to die, so don't you die, okay?"

Jinyu could see that Zhao Ke was very early, and Zhao Ke's obsidian-like eyes flashed with a complex light.

"How old are you?"

Zhao Ke wrote a cross in the palm of Jinyu's hand.

"I'm seven years old, I told Sù Yapo before, I'm eight years old but I'm actually just seven years old, I'm not very smart, my mother and father say I'm smart, don't you say?"

Zhao Ke smiled, his lips were slightly curved, Jinyu suddenly felt the refreshingness of the breeze and the moon, and he wrote word by word in the palm of Jinyu's hand, "I have never seen someone as smart as Jinyu." ”

When Jinyu heard this word, her heart ached.

"I used to think about how I was going to do it, but I always found that there were many things that I couldn't control." Jinyu watched the increasingly turbulent flood and unconsciously blurred her eyes.

"I'm really scared, I'm afraid that my mother will be hurt after I die, Zhao Ke, where is your mother? Are you worried about her? Zhao Ke's somewhat pale face became more and more painful, and Jinyu clenched his hand.

She's dead

"I always dream that my mother is leaving me." Jinyu said, she remembered Cheng Niangzi's face, and in the end, when Zhang Jinyu was about to die, she still didn't do anything for her.

"I'm miserable, miserable, I'm not that kind of person, but I'm going to be that kind of person." Jinyu couldn't cry anymore, she wanted to come to the painful past in her previous life, she was humiliated, her mother died, and finally died, and she was miserable and had no power to fight back.

"Why, I'm going to have this kind of thing." Jinyu said, she looked at the bird's nest that was blown down by the strong wind, those little birds, should be dead.

Zhao Ke stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around Jinyu's thin shoulders.

"No matter how painful it is, I won't give up, anyway, I'm a person who has died once, Zhao Ke, we will definitely not die!"

Jinyu said, under the gray-white sky, there was an ocean.

Jinyu and Zhao Ke stayed on the roof for a day, the sky was already clear, at this time the blue sky, the sun was dazzling and warm, Jinyu was lying in Zhao Ke's arms, there was no place in the whole body that was comfortable, after tossing for so many days, Jinyu finally got sick.

Jinyu looked at a small black ship not far away, and couldn't help but sit up in shock.

"Zhao Ke! Zhao Ke! A ship is coming. As if she had been cured immediately, Jinyu stood up and shouted at the little black boat.

But when I looked closely, I found that the little black boat seemed to be sinking little by little, and a few small black dots gradually approached Jinyu and them.

The young man in his twenties who took the lead took the lead and ran up to the eaves, wiped a handful of water from his face, and scolded, "Grandma, why is the master so unlucky, this broken boat is leaking." ”

Then the black-faced soldier who came up said, "Don't say these words, little general, let's think about what to do, I will watch the water retreat for several days, is it possible to bring it to this ground for a few more days, you see this big sun." ”

"Shut up, you black bastard, no matter how much you get sun, it's still so dark."

A few people came up, and the roof, which was not very big, suddenly seemed a little crowded, at this time, Jinyu looked at these men vigilantly, and wanted to speak, but didn't think about it.

"These two are holding each other, and the child is a refugee." This black-faced soldier saw a six- or seven-year-old girl and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and the two children hugged each other, which was very weird.

"This is also a pitiful, in such an age, I must be separated from my parents." The black-faced soldier stepped forward and asked, "What about your parents?" ”

"They were swept away by the flood, my brother injured his leg, and we have been here for a day." Jinyu looked at the black-faced soldier pitifully.

"It's a poor one.".

"General, do we still have any wound medicine, treat this boy, otherwise it will not be good if he is lame in the future." The black-faced general took out the soaked wound medicine from the entourage on the side.

"You, I haven't agreed yet." The little general said, then looked at Jinyu Zhao Ke, and when he saw Zhao Ke, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he touched his stomach and said, "After holding up the boat for so long, General Ben is hungry, Lao Hei went into the water to catch a fish for General Ben to eat." ”

"General Xiaohuang, how can there be fish in such a place, even if you catch it, where will you grill it?" The black-faced soldier looked constipated. I saw the little general smile and said, "I'm kidding." ”

It is rumored in the army that General Xiao Huang and Da Huang are humorous, and sure enough, they live up to their reputation.

Lao Hei said in his heart.
