Chapter 116: An Interlude in the Mountains (2)

Zhou Shaoquan struggled to climb a dirt slope in front of him, although this slope was indeed a little high. But for Zhou Shaoquan, who grew up in the mountains since he was a child, these should not be difficult things.

But Zhou Shaoquan still climbed quite hard, mainly because the people in the cottage were driven back to the mountains by the official army, and everyone failed to grab enough food, and Zhou Shaoquan had been eating wild vegetable soup for several days.

Seeing that Zhou Shaoquan had been unable to exert his strength, Zhou Shaoquan's father Zhou Zhengyuan stretched out his hand and instantly pulled the thin Zhou Shaoquan up the dirt slope.

Because of his father's help, Zhou Shaoquan, who finally succeeded in climbing, smirked happily at his father. Although he was sometimes very strict, his father was always able to stretch out his hand and give him a hand when he was in trouble.

Seeing that Shaoquan was smirking again, his father stretched out his rather rough hand again and scratched Zhou Shaoquan's nose. At the same time, he opened his mouth and said softly: "The big boss said, if this errand is done well, we will be able to eat baked cakes when we go back." Give as much as you want, be full, and when the time comes, Dad will definitely find you the biggest. ”

Zhou Shaoquan heard his father say that there would be baked cakes to eat, and the worms in his stomach immediately became energetic. Zhou Shaoquan continued to giggle embarrassedly, swallowed his saliva and said: "The biggest baked cake is for my father to eat, I am small, and I will be full if I eat a small one." ”

The uncles and cousins around Zhou Shaoquan all heard his stomach scream, and they turned their heads to look at Zhou Shaoquan one after another. After hearing Zhou Shaoquan's words, they turned their heads with a smile and continued to be vigilant.

Father Zhou Zhengyuan touched his son's head with his hand and beckoned everyone to move on.

After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoquan could have a full meal, so he cheered himself up and continued to follow closely behind his father. They have already done a lot of work, as long as they walk a dozen miles further, they should be able to see the camp of the official army.

I don't know if everyone can take the opportunity to grab some food to eat at that time, his father's knife skills are very good, and there are few people in the cottage who are his father's opponents. Those officers and soldiers who entered the mountains would never have beaten their fathers.

Just when Zhou Shaoquan fantasized about his father showing his might on the battlefield, the sound of two crossbow arrows firing came in succession. Followed by a muffled grunt of pain, Zhou Shaoquan looked up and found that one of his cousins had fallen, and his father also had a crossbow arrow stuck in his shoulder.

"Dad, Dad, are you alright?" Seeing that his father was hit by an arrow, Zhou Shaoquan screamed worriedly. Several uncles and cousins who were traveling with them grabbed their weapons and set up a defensive formation.

Although one of his companions had been killed, their leader had been wounded by an arrow. However, there were only four officers and soldiers who suddenly appeared, and they were not without the strength to fight.

Although Zhou Zhengyuan's whole face turned white because of the arrow wound. But he still held back his voice, and shouted at his son: "Don't shout, I'm fine, you pick up the knife and protect me behind me." Beware of a sneak attack from behind. ”

Although he is still young, his father does not seem to be fine. But Zhou Shaoquan still obeyed his father's instructions, pulled out the waist knife behind his back, and guarded his father's back.

And after Zhou Zhengyuan saw that his son had been completely blocked by his body, he finally settled down and began to beckon his younger brother and nephews to deal with the attacking officers and soldiers. One of the nephews also raised his bow and arrows and shot them at the leader of the other party, but unfortunately the feathered arrows that flew out did not work.

And just as one of Zhou Zhengyuan's younger brothers had just picked up the crossbow that had fallen to the ground, Zhou Shaoquan suddenly shouted a warning to his father.

"Dad, there are people on your left, watch out for the crossbow arrows."

The thieves who heard the warning, before everyone could react in any other way, the thief who picked up the crossbow had already been killed by an arrow. And the leaders of the officers and soldiers in front of them had already rushed over with swords and shields. The enemy used his shield to block the spear stabbed by Zhou Shaoquan's fourth uncle, and then it was followed by a fierce slash, directly cutting down Zhou Shaoquan's fourth uncle.

Zhou Shaoquan's third uncle was about to use the axe in his hand to cut at the officers and officers. But the officers and soldiers who followed behind inserted the boring palladium, and then flew over and jumped over, knocking Zhou Shaoquan's third uncle to the ground and scuffling together.

Zhou Shaoquan wanted to step forward to help, but a spear from the official army stabbed over. When Zhou Shaoquan didn't have time to dodge and was about to be stabbed to death, his father held a knife in his left hand to block this killing move, and then kicked over the official soldier who picked up soft persimmons.

Just as Zhou Zhengyuan was about to continue the pursuit, the three officers and soldiers who rushed out on the left also arrived. Zhou Zhengyuan hurriedly gave up further pursuit, quickly blocked in front of his son, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Baby, run, go find reinforcements." ”

Zhou Shaoquan was a little stunned, where would there be any reinforcements in this place.

But Zhou Zhengyuan didn't give his son the effort to be stunned, and forced back the advance of the official army with a knife. His right hand was raised in pain and gave Zhou Shaoquan a slap, and shouted again: "Run back." ”

Zhou Shaoquan, who is usually a little sluggish, finally took action at this time. He immediately turned around and ran to the back, his long-standing habit of doing what his father told him if he hadn't figured anything out.

But he couldn't let Zhou Shaoquan run for long, and the screams of his third uncle came. Zhou Shaoquan had to turn his head to look, only to see that his third uncle had already cut off one of his arms. The other cousin was also knocked to the ground at this time, motionless and unknown in life and death. As for his father, he was stabbed in the thigh with a spear at this time, and he was on one knee and struggled to defend himself.

Zhou Shaoquan, who usually has a bad brain, suddenly figured out one thing at this time. If I don't rescue my father this time, then no one will reach out in time to help me when I am in trouble. So Zhou Shaoquan raised his waist knife again, screamed and ran towards his father's place.

Zhou Zhengyuan forced back another officer with a knife, but the boring palladium that stabbed him later also pierced his left hand. The pain almost made Zhou Zhengyuan pass over, but he heard his son's screaming, and Zhou Zhengyuan reacted in surprise.

So he didn't look at the approaching officers and soldiers in front of him, but just turned his head and shouted to his son: "What are you doing when you come back, run, run, run to a place where no one is around." ”

These words are the last words left by Zhou Shaoquan and his father in the world. Zhou Shaoquan, who usually listens to his father, did not choose to listen to his father's last instructions this time.

When he saw the officers and soldiers cut off his father's head, Zhou Shaoquan looked like crazy. He rushed to the officer with red eyes and howled, and after successfully approaching the officer, he slashed the knife in his hand.

But after a splash of blood, Zhou Shaoquan clutched his throat and fell to the ground. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything because of his injuries. With blood foaming from his mouth and hands, he knew that his life was about to end. But these are not important, Zhou Shaoquan just wants to be with his relatives.

Zhou Shaoquan, who could only make a gurgling sound, suddenly saw his father's head rolling towards him. This time, the son stretched out his hand to his father strongly, trembling to keep his father's head.

The surrounding officers and soldiers just watched quietly from the sidelines, and did not step forward to stop Zhou Shaoquan's actions. In the end, I don't know if it was their auditory hallucination, but before the last slash, they seemed to hear a "daddy".
