After another two days, the Yun family's compound was calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Haizi didn't see Monroe again for the past two days, and was ordered to serve the wounded soldier. Fortunately, he was only slightly injured on his right shoulder, and everyone who was a soldier carried first-aid medicine with them, and it was good to wrap it up, so he didn't need Haizi to take care of it too much.

On this morning, Second Master Yun was going to send those who were soldiers away. Said to squad leader Wu: "I can't keep you living here all the time, you still have official business, let the brothers eat more, drink more if you can, hard brothers, I Yun is deeply grateful!" After eating, I also asked Zhao Ye to send you back, and he took care of everything on the way. ”

Squad Leader Wu said a few polite words to Second Master Yun, then took the reward money given by Second Master Yun and led the brothers to eat.

Second Master Yun came to Zhao Ye's house again and said to Zhao Ye: "Big brother, you still have to work hard." We are considered to have a relationship with Wang Zhankui, he doesn't know when he wants to retaliate, you take the money, let Meng Ze get a few more good guns and more bullets, and strive for everyone to have a guy in their hands, and it's no problem to keep it for a day or two, so we won't be afraid. ”

"How many guns can you buy with so much money?" Zhao Ye felt that the owner was too generous.

"The rest is for Meng Ze to ask him to take care of it, and then lift it up. can be the head of the regiment, and the beards of Dulong Mountain will not dare to provoke us. These days, you can't do things without spending money. Tell Meng Ze not to be reluctant to spend money. Also, let her come when you pass by Bao Matchmaker's mother-in-law's house. Second Master Yun instructed.

After sending off the soldiers, the Yun family's compound returned to calm, and they went to do whatever they wanted. Haizi saw that there was a lot of horse manure accumulated in the horse pen in the past few days, so he found a pickaxe to cut horse manure, and then picked it out basket by basket. Second Master Yun generally does not deliberately arrange Hai Zi's work, knowing that Hai Zi has work in his eyes, he knows what he should do, which is also the reason why the Yun family likes Hai Zi more.

When it was dark, Haizi finished picking up the last handful of horse manure, and at this time, the horses that had been released during the day also returned to the pen. Haizi saw Sixizi holding the quilt and walking from the backyard, so he stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing with the quilt?" ”

"Back to the yard, there are so many pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., you have to feed them, and it's convenient to go back to the yard." Shikiko replied.

"Isn't there a second mother's family living there?"

"That family is lazy, most of these jobs have to be done by me and the fourth sister, and besides, Mrs. Bao is coming again, so I have to live here tonight." After saying that, Nishiko went to Nanba Courtyard.

Haizi had nightmares this nightmare, and the arrival of Bao Matchmaker's wife made him flustered, and he suddenly had a strange idea, wanting to run out of this compound with Monroe, go to the big city to make a living, and come back in a few years, like the young lady and buddy of the rich man's family in the story told by his mother. But if you think about it, with the power of the Yun family, you may be found back if you run there. Besides, he ran away, what should his mother, sister, and younger brother do? These thoughts tossed him and he didn't sleep well all night, and when he closed his eyes, he had nightmares.

Throughout the day, Haizi was tossed by some strange thoughts, and his work was often distracted. In the evening, he kept a half-night vigil. But he came down many times in the middle of the night, and his eyes kept looking at Monroe's house, and his heart couldn't calm down. was discovered twice by Yun Erye, and he used excuses to prevaricate in the past. finally stayed up until midnight, and he called Silly Hisako up to replace him. Seeing Silly Jiuzi walk up to the fort, he drove the black wolf back to the backyard, closed the moon door, and immediately went back to the house. I thought to myself, Monroe might come again.

Sure enough, when he walked into the house, Monroe was already standing quietly in the shadows.

"Mrs. Bao is gone today, and the bride price has been decided. The wedding date has also been set, it is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and it is less than two months. What to do? Monroe stood in the dark and said to Haizi, unable to see her expression at the moment, but with a cry in her voice.

"How can it be so fast! Didn't your dad ask you? ”

"I said no, but Dad is still decided, what can I do?"

"Our life is really bad, don't be too sad, let's sum it up."

"What can there be? The arms can't twist the thighs. What day was the first day of the year? Monroe abruptly changed the subject.

"It's the first day of the new year, and it's two months before the Chinese New Year. I've engraved it in my heart! ”

"Remember, we were married on that day. There is no wedding, only heaven and earth testify, and the black wolf is our matchmaker. From that day on, I will be your daughter-in-law, and you will be my husband, and I will never forget it in this life and in this life. No matter how many years, no matter what day, we still have to come together. Monroe's joy mixed with a sad confession made Haizi's heart like a knife.

"I'll never forget! I will never marry again in this life, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you. I swear to heaven and earth! Haizi, who has not yet entered adulthood, burst into tears: "I'm really sorry for you, you shouldn't be like that." Even if I die, I can't pay you back for your kindness to me, and I am willing to repay you for the rest of my life. ”

Monroe stepped forward to cover Haizi's mouth to prevent him from continuing, took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped away Haizi's tears, and then stuffed the handkerchief into Haizi's coat pocket and said, "Keep a thought!" It's embroidered with the thread you sent. Why, do you still put that half of the wax in your pocket? ”

Monroe obviously touched the half of the wax and was moved. Haizi nodded and said, "I've always kept it in my pocket, and I want to go home and treasure it and keep it in my mind forever." I hope you can live a comfortable life, and I hope that we will be together again in the next life. ”

"You stupid boy, you have a lot on your mind, I like you for that." Monroe said, holding Haizi in his arms, and caressing his not very mature body with his hand: "Remember that you are my man, everything I have is yours, although we can't be together forever, but if we can say a few words together, I will be satisfied, I will always remember you!" ”

The two lingered, confided, cherished, and embraced, seemingly forgetting the situation in front of them. The rippling youth and vigorous love make the two no longer feel the existence of the world. Some are just the blending of love, the attachment of love, the collision of souls, everything is hidden in this quiet night.

"Shall we sneak out of this compound? Walk far away, so that they can't find it. Haizi suddenly said to Monroe.

"Then we have to think about how to run, we have to find a good opportunity." Monroe also sat up and tidied up.

"Didn't your father let you get married? You said you want to buy a dowry, and we'll run away while we have the opportunity. ”

"That's a really good idea, I think it's okay. But buying a dowry can't let me go alone, I have to have a lot of people. ”

"You say I'll take you there, and when it's time for noon, we'll trick the people into the house to rest, and then we'll ride away on horseback. I stole the horses to feed you while you were shopping, and with two horses as the base, we won't be hungry for a while. ”

"Okay, that's it. I'll tell my dad tomorrow morning, and you're ready to prepare. God willing, we will succeed! Monroe and Haizi saw hope and were ready to hug each other goodbye.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open. Yun Erye broke in angrily with a flashlight, and hit the two of them without saying anything. Monroe dodged and shouted in her mouth, "Daddy! Daddy, listen to me...... We are ......"

Second Master Yun's eyes were already angry, and Na Rong explained. He knocked Haizi, who had been standing still, to the ground and tied him up with ropes. Subsequently, the silly Hisako who was on vigil was called. The two hung Haizi on the beams of the grass shed in the outhouse, and ordered Silly Jiuzi: "Fight!" Beat him to death! ”

Silly Jiuzi wanted to ask the reason, but Yun Erye couldn't speak angrily, so he shouted 'hit' vigorously.

Silly Jiuzi picked up the horse mixing fork by the door, waved it and hit Haizi, and threw his long-standing anger at Haizi, saying while beating: "I will let you be favored everywhere and beat you to death!" ”

Monroe, who was standing on the side like a fool, woke up at this time, and snatched the stick in the hand of the foolish Jiuzi like crazy, and when he saw that he couldn't grab it, he grabbed it again and protected Haizi with his body, and kept shouting: "Dad!" Don't fight, if you want to beat me, my daughter will kneel for you! ”

Yun Erye took care of these, pulled Monroe away, and let Silly Jiuzi continue to beat viciously. Monroe was helpless and quickly ran to the backyard.

Haizi had been beaten to the point of blood at this time, and his breath was weak, and he couldn't even say a word begging for mercy, Yun Er Ye still didn't let Silly Jiuzi stop, and shouted in his mouth: "Kill him!" ”

Just when Haizi was beaten to death, Monroe called the old lady of the Yun family.

"What a big deal, to beat people like this? Isn't that a human life?" Old Lady Yun shouted at Silly Jiuzi: "Stop fighting, stop, you stupid calf!" ”

"Mom, don't worry about your old man. Today, we must let him know how to be a man, and I won't be angry if I kill him. Second Master Yun urged the old lady to go back quickly.

"No matter what, you can't kill someone. Put him down, and you'll all go back to me." Although Mrs. Yun didn't know what was going on, she must not let someone be beaten to death. She desperately blocked in front of Haizi and asked Monroe to put people down.

Seeing that the old lady was going crazy and didn't let him fight anymore, Yun Erye knew that it was useless to insist, and saw that Haizi had been beaten half to death and was unconscious. asked the silly Jiuzi to go back to the vigil and pulled the old lady and Monroe up: "No one can mention this matter tomorrow, if you say it Jiuzi, I will kill you." Go back, leave him alone, I'll clean him up tomorrow." The four of them dragged back to the backyard and locked the door. Haizi, who was unconscious, was thrown from the grass shed, and his hands and feet were still tied.

Zhao Ye rushed back to the Yun family's compound in the middle of the night. He saw that the backyard door was locked and there was no movement, so he didn't bother Second Master Yun, and unloaded his things and walked into the house where he and Haizi lived. When he saw Haizi tied to the ground, he couldn't help but be surprised, and tried his nostrils with his hand, as if he was still breathing. called Haizi a few times, but he didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly. Zhao Ye thought, what's going on? Why was Haizi beaten like this? Who is so ruthless? Zhao Ye wanted to find someone to ask, but after thinking about it, no. Haizi's hands and feet are still firmly tied, it looks like this matter is not over, if he fights again, won't he kill people? No, you have to think of a way.

Zhao Ye thought about it and felt that it was better to save Haizi, no matter what happened, he couldn't let people die. So Zhao Ye opened the door and looked at the empty compound, turned around and untied the rope tied to Haizi, carried Haizi out of the compound, and walked towards Tunxitou, he wanted to send Haizi home.

Hearing a hurried knock on the door, Hai Zi's mother hurriedly opened the door, and when she saw Zhao Ye carrying Hai Zi, who was covered in blood, she exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God! What's going on? ”

Zhao Ye put Haizi on the kang and said to Haizi's mother: "I don't know what's wrong, I just came back and saw this kid like this, so I carried him back." Let's take a look, how is the injury, I think it's quite serious. ”

So Zhao Ye held the lamp, and his mother, sister, and younger brother surrounded Haizi to check carefully. Maybe it was the warmth on the kang, or maybe it was the call of relatives, Haizi slowly opened his eyes and recovered.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Mom picked up Haizi's head and asked anxiously.

"I want to ...... Want to ....... with Monroe Run, was ...... by his father Bumped in! Haizi's voice was faint and intermittent.

"Oh my God! How could this happen? How can this be done? "Mom is gone.

"This is a big deal, Second Master Yun will never spare it!" Zhao Ye was also startled when he heard this: "This kid is really bold, this time he will cause a big disaster, he has to leave quickly." I see that you are looking for someone to send Haizi away overnight, and if you are left with orphans and widows, Second Master Yun can't do anything, not to mention that Second Master Yun is a person who wants to save face, he doesn't dare to speak out. And don't say it, as if nothing happened. I couldn't find anyone, and the matter was over. ”

"Who to go to at this time, we don't have horses yet." Haizi's mother put down Haizi and got up to beg someone.

"You go to Uncle Xu, the old man has a good heart, and there are horses and plows at home. I'll have to get out of here, I'll let them find out too late. I have two oceans here to heal my child's wounds. After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he left in a hurry

My mother told my sister and younger brother to take good care of my brother and go out by myself to beg for help.

Uncle Xu rushed to the horse to climb the plow, everyone laid the quilt together, and lifted Haizi to the climbing plow, and his mother asked his sister and younger brother to take care of the family, and he wanted to send Haizi a ride.

"I have a younger brother in Liu's shop, who is a son-in-law for the elderly, surnamed Xiao. The family was very good, and they were fairly wealthy. There is a doctor in Tunzi who specializes in treating red wounds, which is very famous, so please send Haizi there when you are old. Haizi's mother said to Uncle Xu as she walked.

"I know that, it's fifty miles from here, you can rest assured, I promise to deliver. You just go back, there are still two children at home, and it won't take a long time. Uncle Xu said.

"Send it again. Haizi, you have to be obedient when you go there, don't worry about your family, treat your illness well, and don't think about anything else. "Mom instructed Haizi.

After the post, Uncle Xu stopped his horse and said to Haizi's mother: "Go back, don't send it." Fatherless and widowed, they have caught up with this again. If you want to open up, don't take it too seriously, there is no hurdle in the world that you can't get over. ”

Mom bent down and tucked the quilt for Haizi, and stuffed a few silver dollars into Haizi's hand: "It's okay, Mom can stand it." You don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to think about this or that, I have nothing to do with your sister and brother, and I will see a doctor at your uncle's house, and let your uncle help find a place to carry the work next spring, and our whole family will move over. ”

Haizi saw her mother crying, and she didn't feel that tears flowed out, and she regretted it very much, she shouldn't have let her mother worry so much.

"Okay, don't be too sad, let's go back, we should hurry too." Uncle Xu persuaded while sitting on the horse and climbing the plow.

"Brother...... Elder brother! A thin figure ran down from the post, shouting as he ran. It was his younger brother Sanyang, who came to his brother panting and took out a shiny lighter from his arms.

"Why are you here? Didn't you come? Leaving my sister alone at home, not wearing a hat yet. Mother put her arms around Sanyang's head and covered his ears.

"Brother, you didn't bring your lighter, sister asked me to bring it to you." Sanyang put it on his brother's face, wiping away the blood from his nostrils and putting the lighter in his brother's hand.

"You can take it home and use it, brother doesn't need it. Don't cry, my brother will come back when healed of his injuries, and take my mother back. Listen to your mother, don't be angry with your mother and sister. Haizi said goodbye with tears in her eyes.

Sanyang pressed his face against his brother's face, he couldn't cry anymore, Haizi's tears couldn't stop flowing, and his mother was crying with him.

In Uncle Xu's persuasion, the family separated. The horse had already gone far away, and Haizi vaguely saw the figures of his mother and younger brother standing under the post until they disappeared. He doesn't know when he will be able to return to Duanlonggang, where he has raised him for nearly 16 years, can he come back in this life? Where am I going? My heart was filled with the pain of parting and the helpless confusion.

"Wolf...... Wolves!" Uncle Xu suddenly shouted. Following the prestige, a black shadow flew over.

"That's not a wolf, it's the owner's dog." Haizi saw it clearly, it was a black wolf, and somehow it came here.

"This brute scares me. Go back! No matter how Uncle Xu rushed, the black wolf just didn't go, and followed closely behind the horse to climb the plow, so he had no choice but to let it go.

After running for a while, the black wolf actually jumped on the climbing plow, lay at the feet of Haizi, and covered his feet. This made Haizi's soul feel a little comforted.

"Look, this dog is so good to you, don't think nonsense, fold the quilt, let's hurry up." Uncle Xu whipped his horse through the cold darkness before dawn.
