"Don't be complacent, you ...... your father at your age"

"Child, a good mother ......"

At night, Zhao Yu dreamed of the Luyang townsman and the Zhou family.

When he opened his eyes, he felt the corners of his eyes dry and uncomfortable, and when he reached out and touched it, there was still a faint trace of wetness.

In the dream, he once again relived the past of living in the Luyang Township Mansion, until he woke up and realized that it was just a dream, and his father and mother were no longer there.

A few days ago, on the way to escape with Jingnu, he couldn't even care about his sadness, thinking all day long about how to find a place to stay, until yesterday he followed Chen Mo's group of Ying Mountain thieves to this den of thieves, and his heart breathed a little.

Perhaps because of the slight relaxation of his tense heart, he immediately dreamed of the Luyang Township Marquis and the Zhou family at night, and unconsciously burst into tears.

"Daddy...... Mother'......

The strong longing that had been suppressed for many days hit his heart, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think back to the Luyang Township Marquis and the Zhou family, and recalled the good memories under his parents' knees, but reason told him that his parents were no longer there, and the strong contrast made him feel lost.

When he thought about it again, he faintly felt his heart gradually tighten, a pain as if a piece of his body was missing from his heart, and he unconsciously opened his mouth and breathed like a drowning man.

At the same time, a burning sensation quickly permeated his whole body, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his whole body.

It was almost suffocating.

Zhao Yu sat up and gasped for breath in the dimly lit room.

Rubbing his face with his hands, he tried his best to calm down, and didn't dare to recall the Luyang Township Marquis and the Zhou family.

"Boom......"

Beside him, the Silent Maiden suddenly made some noises.

Because there was only an oil lamp lit in the room, the light was very dim, and Zhao Yu could only get closer to observe Jingnu.

I saw that under his observation, Jingnu was tossing and turning on the grass bunk, her face was very painful, and she muttered words such as 'madam' and 'mother'.

She probably dreamed of Zhou as well.

Forget about mother, but the word lady can't be heard by outsiders.

Zhao Yu hurriedly woke up Jingnu, after all, he was not the only one in this room.

Jingnu belongs to the kind of person who is easy to be woken up, Zhao Yu gently pushed twice, she woke up, and with the dim oil lamp in the room, she sat up blankly and saw Zhao Yu beside her.

"Less ......"

She subconsciously wanted to be called, but Zhao Yu reached out in time to cover her mouth.

I saw that Jingnu's body stiffened for a while, and it didn't return to normal after a few breaths, she raised her hand, removed Zhao Yu's hand covering her mouth, and whispered, "Brother." ”

This is a code-like title, which means that Jingnu has awakened and entered the role of 'Zhou Jing'.

"Nightmare?"

Zhao Yu wiped the cold sweat from Jingnu's forehead with his sleeve.

It's okay that he didn't ask, but when he asked, Jingnu's eyes suddenly left tears: "I dreamed of my husband...... I dreamed of my mother......"

She couldn't help but let out a small sob.

At this moment, she is not as strong as accompanying Zhao Yu to sleep under the ice and snow a few days ago.

However, at this moment, I heard a rude voice in the room scolding impatiently: "What is the noise in the middle of the night? Annoyance Lao Tzu sleeps. ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhao Yu hurriedly covered Jingnu's mouth, quickly held her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and comforted her.

After a while, the owner of the rude voice fell asleep again and let out a purring and snoring.

Zhao Yu and Jingnu snuggled up to the gable in the house, each with their own thoughts.

After a while, Zhao Yu whispered to Jingnu: "Sleep again, and when it is dawn, we will probably have to work." ”

"Hmm."

Jingnu answered, but did not move, still snuggled in Zhao Yu's arms.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu let her go, gently hugging her to comfort her, while sorting out her thoughts.

Yesterday evening, he and Jingnu followed Chen Mo's group of Ying thieves to this Ying Mountain Thieves' den - of course, the title of this 'Ying Mountain Thief' was just what Zhao Yu heard from the villagers of Xu Village yesterday, and the group of Ying Mountain Thieves he met yesterday would not call themselves like that.

According to what Zhao Yu has seen and heard, this gang of Ying thieves seems to have a scale of nearly 100 people, and there are three leaders in the entire thief village, respectively called the master of the big village, the master of the second village, and the master of the third block, and the man named Chen Mo yesterday is actually not the biggest leader of this group of thieves, he is only the master of the second village, he is above and below, there is a thief leader each.

Speaking of this Chen Mo, Zhao Yu is really a little incomprehensible, judging from the deeds he led a team of Ying bandits to rob Xu Village yesterday, his behavior is no different from that of ordinary bandits, but at the same time, this person seems to retain a certain bottom line.

For example, try not to kill people as much as possible.

This Chen Mo's force, Zhao Yu briefly glimpsed it yesterday, it was quite powerful, and with a sweep of the spear in his hand, he knocked the three young men of Xu Village away, fortunately he used the wooden body of the spear, if he used the blade of the spear, I am afraid that the three young men of Xu Village would already be corpses.

And what's even more weird is that when Zhao Yu proposed to defect to them yesterday, Chen Mo actually persuaded him, and used the words 'a thief for one day and a thief for life' to persuade Zhao Yu to quit, all in all, this Chen Mo gave people the feeling that he really didn't feel like a thief, although he did take a group of thieves to rob the house.

Yesterday evening, following Chen Mo's group to this thief's den, Chen Mo placed Zhao Yu and Jingnu here.

This is the kitchen of the cottage, or the fire head room, there is only one thief, who is the person who scolded rudely when Fang Cai Jingnu was crying, named Zhu Wang, but yesterday the thieves around Chen Mo called him 'leprosy' or 'leprosy Wang', Zhao Yu guessed that this person might have jaundice or other diseases on his head.

After all, when he looked at it yesterday, he found that this Zhu Wang's hair was indeed thin, and he wrapped his head in cloth like a woman.

Of course, he didn't dare to ask, lest he be taught a lesson for no reason.

Unconsciously, the sky outside the house gradually brightened, and at this time, the thief named Zhu Wang also woke up, only to see him sit up from the only stone kang in the house, put on his shoes on the lower kang, and then open the door of the house.

Although the sky was still bright at this time, Zhu Wang began to urge the children in the house to get up and work: "Get up and work, little cubs." ”

What he said was not specifically aimed at Zhao Yu and Jing Nu, because there were other children in the house.

Yes, in addition to Zhao Yu and Jingnu, there are three boys, one woman and four children in this room, the eldest boy is about fourteen or fifteen years old, called Xu Fen, and the rest of the children call him eldest brother.

In addition, there are two boys, who seem to be brothers, the elder brother is called Deng Bai, and the younger brother is called Deng Song, both of whom are about eleven or twelve years old, which is about the same age as Zhao Yu.

And the most incredible thing is that there is a little girl here, who looks very cute, about six or seven years old, called Ning Niang.

I have to say that when Zhao Yu saw these four children yesterday, he was also a little confused.

After all, in his impression, there should be all the villains in the thief's den, but he didn't expect there to be children.

But because they were not familiar with each other, Zhao Yu did not rashly ask about the origin of these children.

Seeing that everyone was up, the thief named Zhu Wang instructed a few people: "There is not much firewood, you go to the outside of the village today to chop some firewood and come back, if anyone dares to be lazy, I will break his legs!" ”

With that, he turned and left.

And at this moment, the two brothers Deng Bai and Deng Song suddenly grabbed Zhao Yu, and immediately, the elder brother Deng Bai lowered his voice and said: "New here, listen, here we are, Brother Xu has the final say, do you remember?" ”

"Let go of me...... My brother! ”

Jingnu was immediately enraged, but was stopped by Zhao Yu's 'brother'.

"Do teenage kids come here too?"

Looking at the serious brothers, Zhao Yu stretched out his hand to stop the somewhat dissatisfied Jingnu, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the person who went out just now who has the final say?" ”

"Uh......" Deng Bo was speechless for a moment, and argued with his neck curled: "The leper is a serious bandit, it can't be counted, we people, it's Brother Xu who has the final say, do you kid want to suffer?" ”

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Xu Fen not far away, and saw that the other party was looking at him without saying a word, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Xu." ”

He is not interested in fighting with a group of children, his goal is to subdue the bandits in this entire cottage, how can he have time to compete with a group of children?

However, his answer made Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song a little confused, they probably didn't expect Zhao Yu to be so 'cowardly'.

"You know each other." The Deng brothers glanced at each other and let go of Zhao Yu.

At this time, seeing that Zhao Yu had softened, Xu Fen's face not far away had looked good for a long time, and he shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

"It's disgusting."

Watching Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song leave, Jingnu looked indignant.

At this time, the little girl named Ning Niang hesitantly glanced back at Zhao Yu and Jing Nu when she left the house, and opened her mouth to say something, but looking at Jing Nu's angry face, she was so frightened that she quickly ran away.

After a while, Zhao Yu and Jingnu carried the basket on their backs, and followed Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song out of the cottage, except for the little girl named Ning Niang, who walked beside Xu Fen and the three of them, looking back at Zhao Yu and Jingnu from time to time.

And then chopping firewood and collecting firewood, Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song deliberately favored the little girl named Ning Niang, but the little girl was also sensible, although the three 'brothers' took care of her, she was not greedy for fun, but helped collect firewood together.

Regarding this matter, Xu Fen also greeted Zhao Yu: "The five of us have shared Ning Niang's share, the newcomer, do you have any opinions?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Recently, my brother followed me to the cold in the wilderness for a few days, and his body was weak, so I have no opinion on letting him carry less." ”

Xu Fen glanced at Jing Nu and saw that Jing Nu did look very thin, so he hesitated and agreed: "Okay." ”

Zhao Yu looked at Xu Fen, and Xu Fen also looked at Zhao Yu.

The two of them had a thought in their hearts.

"This man...... It's not bad.'"
