"Don't kill me, I say! I say! Du Datong screamed in panic, the pain in his neck made him scared like he had never been, and he had no doubt that this group of people who suddenly appeared would really kill themselves.

Under the threat of death, Du Datong told everything like a bamboo tube like a bean, and the man in black frowned tightly after hearing this, "You mean that the woman ran away?" ”

"Yes, yes, I ran away with that Jianmin." Du Datong nodded if he pounded garlic, lest he would cut a knife on his neck if he said slowly.

"Damn it!" The man cursed hatefully, his eyes were surprisingly angry, and he lost the trace of the woman because he was delayed for a while because of something on the road. What did those officials eat, but they were actually set on fire by others under their noses.

"Big brother, do you want to kill them?" Another man in black walked up to the man and asked, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather today.

Du Da and others were so frightened when they heard this, and even begged for mercy, some said that there was an eighty-year-old mother in the family, some said that there were children in the family who were waiting to be fed, and some said that they were not married, in short, there was everything, and the nature of human nature greedy for life and afraid of death was undoubtedly exposed at this moment.

Killing a few people is just a matter of raising their hands for them, and it is not a big deal, but the man in black is obviously not in the mood at the moment, not to mention that before coming out this time, the master confessed, he must be low-key and secret, and try not to attract local attention, otherwise it will be traced and the identity will be exposed, and it will be a big matter if the master is broken.

The man in black in the lead put away the knife and returned the sheath, and said coldly: "That's it, it's important to find someone, go!" ”

"Yes." Everyone agreed, followed the leader and quickly disappeared into the night, until they couldn't see their figures, Du Datong reached out and touched his neck, fortunately, the head is still there, what is the origin of this group of people, it's so scary!

Not to mention this, after Shi Sheng took Ling Ruo to get rid of the pursuit of Du Datong and others, he hid in the mountains where he often went to chop wood, where there was a cave that he had accidentally discovered before, which was very hidden and could not be discovered by ordinary people.

They ran in a hurry, and they didn't know that Lu Dao Du Datong set fire to the long alley, and they didn't know that the home where Lu Dao Shi had lived for more than 20 years had been burned, and even Shi Mu died in the fire and did not escape.

"Miss Ling, why are they chasing you?" In the dark hole, Shi Sheng finally couldn't help but ask this question that had been held all night.

For fear of attracting wild beasts and men, they did not make a fire, and the faint moonlight could only shine within a foot of the cave entrance. Ling Ruohuan sat on the ground, staring at the half-human-tall weeds at the entrance of the cave in a daze, as if he hadn't heard Shi Sheng's words, and after a long time, a cool voice sounded in the cave, "They should be the ones who want my life!" ”

If Ling Ruo hadn't seen Du Datong, he naturally didn't know that those people were sent by Hou Mubai, but he was the group of people who chased and killed him all the way.

She turned her head sideways and looked at Shi Sheng's eyes that were still shining in the night, "Do you know now that I must leave for Lu and continue to stay, such disasters will continue to happen, either I will die, or you will die with me." Shi Sheng, are you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid." Shi Sheng was silent for a while and then replied honestly, and then said, "But I still want to protect you." ”

In the face of death, few people can be calm, and neither can Shi Sheng, he will be afraid and even tremble like a normal person, but in this case, he still wants to protect the woman who is one round older than him, and does not want her to be hurt a little.

Shi Sheng's eyes are clean and pure, without a trace of concealment and dodging, and what he thinks is what he says.

"But I'll feel guilty!" Ling Ruo met his gaze and said, "You are a good person, I hope you will be safe and happy all your life." After tonight, let's go our separate ways, and never see each other again. Shi Sheng, I will always remember that there was once someone who treated me with sincerity. ”

The glint in Shi Sheng's eyes gradually dimmed, and he wanted to say no, but when he thought of the old mother at home, he couldn't say anything about the words that had reached his lips.

He suddenly remembered what Ling Ruo had said when he taught him the word "wet" before: It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes......

After that, the two did not talk again, until the crescent moon sank in the west, and a glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, Ling Ruo and Shi Sheng summed it up, and decided to go back first, she came out in a hurry, she didn't bring anything with her, and without silver, it was inconvenient to go anywhere. Those who chased and killed her should not have done it in broad daylight, but in order to prevent being targeted, Ling Ruo smeared a lot of mud on her face to hide people's eyes.

On the way back to Qingjiang Town, Shi Sheng often saw people gathering in twos and threes, saying that they were on fire, but because he was in a hurry to go back, he never listened carefully.

Hurried all the way, and finally returned to the long alley, but Shi Sheng was stunned, the long alley was narrow and dark, densely packed with houses, and it had been like this for twenty years. But now it is empty, there is hardly a house in sight, there are ruins everywhere as far as the eye can see, many people are rummaging under the waste bricks and bricks, and many more are holding the charred corpse and crying......

Fire...... It turns out that the place where the fire caught fire in the mouth of the people was in the long alley, what is it for? Why is this happening, and what is on fire for no reason, obviously it was good last night......

Shi Sheng looked at all this in a daze, his brain was blank, and he couldn't think, and after the shock subsided a little, he suddenly jumped up, and ran to the home in his memory with a pale face, mother...... Mother!

The fire was started by the Shi family, so the Shi family was the cleanest place to be burned, and there was nothing left except for a few charred beams and pillars and a piece of broken tiles, at least on the surface.

Shi Sheng grabbed people like crazy and asked if he had seen his mother, but everyone shook their heads when they faced him, and every time they shook their heads, the fear in Shi Sheng's heart expanded.

Where is the mother? Where is she?

No one can tell Shi Sheng the answer, they are all sad about the disasters that fell from the sky in their own homes, and how can they be in the mood to take care of other people's affairs.

Shi Sheng rushed to the ruins with red eyes, grabbed the rubble and rubble with his hands, and tears kept dripping down, mother, mother, where are you, you don't want to have anything, don't have anything! In the future, my son will listen to you for everything, and if you don't talk to you, if you let me marry Xuan'er, I will marry Xuan'er, just ask you to live, just live!

Shi Sheng dug hard, until his hands were bleeding, but as if he didn't feel it, he kept digging until a blackened arm was revealed under the broken tiles.

"Mother!" Shi Sheng let out a cry of grief and dug harder until the entire charred corpse was exposed, the corpse was burned beyond recognition, and his clothes turned into smoke in the fire, the only thing left was the silver lump stuck to the middle finger of his left hand, which should have been re-condensed after a ring was melted by the fire

Shi Sheng Zhilu Dao Niang carries a silver ring in his left hand all the year round, which was built by his father when he got married, with all his savings, and his mother has always been worn as a baby, and he is never willing to take it off. At this moment, the identity of the charred corpse was already very clear, Shi Sheng held that hand, and couldn't cry.
