Chapter 17: Falling to Dust (1)
It's another day!
After Zhang Song finished exercising, he stood in the cold morning breeze for a while facing the rising sun, and then went to look for Zhong Lei and Fang Tao.
After thinking about it all night last night, Zhang Song finally determined his goal, that is, to seize Qingsong Valley and develop Qingsong Valley into his own power. After determining this goal, the support of Zhong Lei and Fang Tao is particularly important to Zhang Song.
However, although Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Fang Tao have a good impression of each other, they may not support their capture of Qingsong Valley, which is why Zhang Song did not explain to the two of them yesterday.
Things have to come step by step, Zhang Song comforted himself in his heart, he had to persuade the two to do it after all, and Zhang Song also believed that he could convince the two.
The cold wind blew on the body, and there was a piercing pain. The rising sun more or less reduces this suffering.
didn't go a few steps away, Zhang Song's stomach "growled", and Zhang Song remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. This morning, surprisingly, no one brought breakfast, and I guess the person who delivered the meal thought he had left Aomatsu Valley.
It seems that Zhong Lei and Fang Tao have to have breakfast. Thinking of this, Zhang Song quickened his pace.
This is the first time that Zhang Song has taken the initiative to look for someone else since coming to Qingsong, and no one accompanies him. When he walked to a three-way intersection, Zhang Song was dumbfounded, he chatted happily with Zhong Lei and Fang Tao yesterday, and forgot to ask where the two of them lived for a while.
Just when Zhang Song didn't know what to do, a person came on a road in the middle. That person was the one who usually delivered food to Zhang Song, and when Zhang Song saw it, he hurriedly asked him about the residence of Zhong Lei and Fang Tao.
"Are you looking for Zhong Jun? Do you have anything to do with him? The person who delivered the meal looked surprised.
"It's nothing, I haven't had breakfast yet, and I only know Zhong Lei in this green pine valley, and I want to eat a meal with him." Zhang Song said with a smile, finding a good excuse.
The man looked at Zhang Song with suspicion, and finally said: "Zhong Lei's place is relatively remote, and he can't speak clearly, you may not be able to find it alone, so let's take you over." ”
"That's great, thank you!" Zhang Song said happily.
"Let's go!"
The food delivery person took Zhang Song on the way to Zhou Mingshu's house.
Zhang Song was a little suspicious, he was about to ask, but halfway to Zhou Mingshu's house, the food delivery person took him to another road.
The road leads to a lonely wooden house at the foot of the hill, nestled among the trees. In front of the hut is a large meadow, and on the other side of the meadow there are many huts clustered together.
If it weren't for the food delivery person's reminder, Zhang Song really didn't find out that there was a room in this place, no wonder the food delivery person said that he couldn't find it.
"Zhong Jun loves horses and requires them to ride horses when they go in and out of the house, so he lives in this lonely house." The food delivery person explained to Zhang Song.
"Zhong Jun loves horseback riding?"
Zhang Song was a little surprised, he made contact a few times, but he didn't see Zhong Lei riding a horse. He looked around and saw that the place was indeed good for horseback riding, so he believed it.
"I'll take you here, you can go in by yourself." The food delivery person said to Zhang Song.
"Okay. Thank you. ”
After Zhang Song thanked him, he walked towards the wooden house alone. When the food delivery person saw Zhang Song leaving, he showed a smug look on his face.
"Zhong Jun, Zhong Jun."
When he was about to reach the door, Zhang Song shouted into the house.
There were plenty of people in the house, and after a while, a few people turned out of the house. It's not Zhong Lei and Fang Tao, but Chen Jia, Yu Xinzhi and others.
As soon as Zhang Song saw these people, he knew that the situation was not good, and knew that he should have been plotted, so he turned around and walked towards the way he came.
"Stop! Where are you going? When Yu Xin saw that it was Zhang Song, he laughed fiercely and shouted at Zhang Song.
Zhang Song didn't pay attention to him, but sped up his pace.
"Zhang Song, Yu Jun told you, don't go!"
The food delivery person no longer had the obedient appearance just now, he looked at Zhang Song condescendingly, and stopped in the middle of the road with a mocking face, preventing Zhang Song from leaving.
"Stop! Stop him! ”
"Don't let him run!"
……
Yu Xinzhi and others behind him shouted one after another, and several people ran towards Zhang Song.
Zhang Song had a cold face, did not answer, and bent down and rushed towards the food delivery person.
Because Zhang Song's speed was too fast and the angle was tricky, the food delivery person took it lightly and did not take Zhang Song, who looked like a young man, in his eyes. Zhang Song rushed and knocked the food delivery person to the ground, and the food delivery person fell and ate.
Zhang Song glanced back, and the people chasing behind him still had some distance to catch up. He was overjoyed and ran forward at a faster pace.
However, after only a short distance, three people in front of him blocked the way. Several people were armed with iron weapons, and Zhang Song thought to himself that he couldn't get out, but stopped.
"Run! Why don't you run away? ”
As soon as Zhang Song stopped, the people behind him quickly caught up. As soon as they came up, they hit Zhang Song with their heads and faces, and they kept scolding while beating.
Zhang Song shrank up to protect himself, and shouted the names of Zhong Lei, Fang Tao, Li Mo, Zhou Fang and Zhou Mingshu, so that someone could hear him and run to save him.
Hearing Zhang Song shouting, the food delivery person was a little flustered, and reached out to cover Zhang Song's mouth, and Zhang Song unceremoniously bit one of them a few times. They didn't dare to cover Zhang Song's mouth, and Zhang Song began to scream again.
Without waiting for Zhang Song to shout a few words, the food delivery person blocked Zhang Song's mouth with a footcloth. The footcloth emitted a pungent fishy smell, and the smell was so stinking that Zhang Song's tears and snot flowed together.
Under the twisting of several people, Zhang Song could no longer struggle, and he was soon sent to the wooden house.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary wooden house. After entering the house, Zhang Song found that it was a gloomy, dark and cold room. The cold outside is cold to your bones, and the cold in the house is cold to your heart.
The walls of the wooden house were covered with large black patches, covering the entire wall, even the floor. In addition, there are various ropes and unknown instruments on the ground.
"Hang him up! Today you also fell into my hands, see how I clean you up! ”
Yu Xinzhi's face was hideous, and his eyes were full of excitement and cruelty. He ordered his men to tie Zhang Song up and hang him up, while looking for a whip on the ground.
"Boy, you have today!" Chen Jia punched Zhang Song in the chest, "You did a good job today. ”
Chen Jia's last sentence was said to the person who delivered the meal.
The food delivery person was very happy after hearing this, and he said to Chen Jia with a flattering face: "That's also what Chen Jun and Yu Jun taught well on weekdays, and if you want me to bring him food every day, I have long wanted to beat him." ”
Chen Jia didn't pay much attention to the food delivery person, but began to torture Zhang Song with Yu Xinzhi, taking turns to whip Zhang Song. After a while, Zhang Song was beaten and covered with scars.
#######
Zhong Lei and Fang Tao also thought about it all night, but they didn't sleep well. After getting up in the morning, Fang Tao found Zhong Lei with red eyes.
"I thought about it all night, and I felt that Zhang Song was still trustworthy, and I still felt that we should tell him about our plans and get his support." Fang Tao yawned.
"This is not a trivial matter, if it leaks out, we will die! Have you thought about it? Zhong Lei said to Fang Tao with a warning.
"I also thought that Zhou Mingshu, Li Mo and Zhou Fang were the ones who conspired to kidnap him to Qingsong Valley, which not only separated him from his relatives, but also put him in danger, Zhang Song could not be with them, and Yu Minzhi, Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia had opposed Zhang Song many times, and Zhang Song could not take refuge in them."
"I understand that Zhang Song can't take refuge in Yu Minzhi, but why can't he take refuge in Zhou Mingshu and them? You must know that the murderer who plotted against him was found out with the help of Li Mo and Zhou Fang. Besides, Zhang Song did his best to treat Zhou Mingshu. Zhong Lei said that later, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling.
"If Zhang Song takes refuge in Zhou Mingshu and them, then he is blind, do you think he looks like a blind person?" Fang Tao glanced at Zhong Lei.
"Hahaha, you're finally willing to use your brains, it's rare." Zhong Lei smiled, "Since that's the case, then we'll go to Zhang Song now." ”
The two walked to Zhang Song's residence together, and found that Zhang Song was not in the house, and there was no one around the house, and their hearts were immediately full of doubts.
Just then, several shouts were heard in the distance.
"That's Zhang Song's voice." Fang Tao said, "He should be over there!" ”
Zhong Lei had already stepped towards the place where the voice came from. Fang Tao followed.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Zhang Song was being tortured to death by Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia, and his body was covered with scars.
"Stop, what are you doing here? Put him down! Zhong Lei shouted loudly.
"Zhong Lei, it's none of your business, you go away!" Chen Jia still didn't stop.
Fang Tao didn't speak, but stepped forward and snatched the leather whip from Chen Jia's hand. Zhong Lei inserted himself between Zhang Song and Yu Xinzhi, and looked at Yu Xinzhi coldly. Yu Xinzhi's face changed, but in the end, he didn't get angry, but walked away stupidly.
After Zhang Song was put down and untied, he could barely stand. He pulled the footcloth from his mouth and breathed heavily with his teeth gritted, his chest heaving heavily. This half is tired, and half is angry.
"You can't take him away!" Seeing that Zhong Lei was going to take Zhang Song away, Chen Jia hurriedly stopped him.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, my knife won't have long eyes! Fang Tao didn't talk nonsense, but directly pulled out the knife and pointed it at Chen Jia.
"I'm here, will you slash at me too?" Yu Minzhi suddenly appeared at the door, and she said angrily.
"Don't dare, madam, it's just that Zhang Song is a doctor invited by Zhou Jun, in case he is injured, there will be no one to treat Zhou Jun!" Zhong Lei bowed and saluted.
"No, I'm cured." Zhou Mingshu's voice sounded at the door, "Zhang Song will be handed over to his wife." ”
"Come on, drag Zhang Song to the iron-smelting yard and let him do hard labor in the iron-smelting yard." Yu Minzhi commanded loudly.
"Come on, give me the man!" Chen Jia said to Zhong Lei with a sneer.
Zhong Lei looked around and saw that there were only two people on his side, so he had no choice but to let Chen Jia take Zhang Song over.
