When he woke up in the morning, Liu Tianshu rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead, walked out of the room, and saw Zhao Xiaomei playing in the yard with Zhuzi, and said embarrassedly You are really early.

"It's still early, you see the sun is so high." Zhao Xiaomei glanced at him, pointed to the sun in the sky and said.

Liu Tianshu glanced at the sun embarrassedly, and noticed that Zhao Xiaomei's mood was good, and then asked, "Is Uncle Zhao awake?" How is he doing? ”

Originally, Liu Tianshu was going to live in a room with Uncle Zhao in order to take care of him, but who knew that he had a good chat with Shi Dashan last night, this Shi Dashan's home-brewed wine, when he drank it, he didn't feel intoxicating, and after drinking, his stamina was surprisingly large, and finally he lay directly on the table and was carried into Shi Qiang's room by Shi Dashan.

"My father woke up early, and Uncle Dashan is examining his wounds...... Zhao Xiaomei said happily.

Knowing that Uncle Zhao had woken up, Liu Tianshu didn't wait for Zhao Xiaomei to finish speaking, and immediately ran towards the room where Uncle Zhao was.

When I entered the room, I saw that Shi Dashan had rewrapped Uncle Zhao's wound and was helping Uncle Zhao to lie down, and immediately said with concern: "Uncle Zhao, you finally woke up, you almost scared me and Xiaomei to death yesterday." ”

Uncle Zhao saw Liu Tianshu come in, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a weak voice: "Xiao Liu, I know everything, thanks to meeting you this time, otherwise, my old bone would have died." ”

"Uncle, look at what you said, you are blessed with a great life, even if you don't meet me, you will be fine." Liu Tianshu comforted a few words, and heard Shi Dashan say that Uncle Zhao's wound was no longer inflamed, and he only needed to recuperate for a month.

Hearing this, Liu Tianshu expressed his gratitude to Shi Dashan again.

After breakfast, Zhao Xiaomei stayed at home to take care of Uncle Zhao, while Liu Tianshu volunteered to follow Shi Dashan and Shi Qiang up the mountain to hunt.

Along the way, Shi Dashan gave a brief introduction to the situation in the mountain, it turned out that this small Zhang Mountain is nearly 100 miles in circumference, in addition to the scattered more than ten families in the hunting room for a living, there is only a group of bandits entrenched in the eagle's beak near the northeast.

As for the village below the mountain, the nearest one is twenty miles away.

As for the nearest town from here, it is Songyang Town, thirty miles to the southwest.

Although Shi Qiang is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he is very alert and agile like a cheetah in the mountains because he has been hunting with his father for many years. Probably because he rarely talks to people, he always feels reticent.

However, it may be because of the age difference with Liu Tianshu, and because he knows that Liu Tianshu is a Yan college student, after eliminating the initial strangeness, as long as Shi Dashan is not in front of him, he will curiously pester Liu Tianshu to ask about things outside the mountain.

After going back and forth, the two became almost up.

Considering that Liu Tianshu went up the mountain to hunt with them for the first time, after catching a few pheasants and two hares, seeing that it was not early, Shi Dashan returned home with the two of them.

The next day, Shi Dashan and Shi Qiang followed Liu Tianshu and returned to the southeast mountain forest, the three of them searched all the way in the forest, and found the body of the young man Dongzi under a big tree.

Shi Dashan glanced at his son coldly, and did not say a word of comfort, and after burying the pillar with Liu Tianshu, he patted his son on the shoulder and signaled to leave here.

The three of them found Lao He's body in the forest near the main road, chose a place to bury him, and then walked back with a heavy heart.

Along the way, Liu Tianshu told Shi Dashan and his son about the crime of small Japan in occupying Beiping and invading China, and also told the history of little Japan's forcible occupation of China's three eastern provinces.

The farthest place that Shi Qiang went to was Songyang Town, and he had no impression of the vastness of China, as for the Japanese, he had never even heard of it before, and this time he listened to Liu Tianshu's speech, and desperately imagined the appearance of a little devil in his mind, but in the end he achieved nothing.

As for Shi Dashan, apart from his face becoming more gloomy, he didn't say a word.

Back at home, Uncle Zhao listened to Liu Tianshu tell about the sacrifice of Lao He and the young man, and couldn't help but cry, and even Zhao Xiaomei cried on the side.

After a while, Uncle Zhao raised his left hand, wiped away his tears and looked at Liu Tianshu and said: "Xiao Liu, Lao He and I received the task this time, which is to safely escort you to Shiqiao Village, and hand it over to the people who came to pick you up to escort you to Shanxi, but I didn't expect to meet devils on the road, I was incompetent and failed to complete the task, I don't know if Mr. Jiang and they are out of danger, I want to ask you to help me do something, I don't know ......"

"Uncle Zhao, if there is anything I need to do, you just have to tell me, and I will do my best." Thinking that Lao He and they even took their lives for the sake of their own students, what else could he say.

Although according to his original plan, he and Tang Jiyuan and them went forward for a while, and then broke up and returned to their hometown in Shandong, but now Lao He has even taken his life for his students, and if he doesn't do something, he will definitely feel guilty for a lifetime.

"Okay, I'll just say it straight, I heard Shi Dashan say, this is not far from Songyang Town, although I haven't been to Songyang Town, but I know that it is only thirty miles away from Shiqiao Village, you want to rush to Shiqiao Village, find Liu Blacksmith in the village, just say that Zhao Laochong asked you to ask, let him hit the long-handled sickle is it good, he knows that I asked you to go as soon as he hears it, you inquire, see if Teacher Jiang is safe?" After Uncle Zhao said these words, he was still so tired that he gasped.

Hearing that Uncle Zhao asked him to inquire about Teacher Jiang's safety, Liu Tianshu immediately said, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I'll rush over." ”

"Alas, it's all because I'm useless, I didn't protect you, and I even hurt you." Uncle Zhao saw Liu Tianshu agree, and sighed apologetically.

Zhao Xiaomei knew that Liu Tianshu was going to inquire about the news, and she was quite reluctant, but thinking that her father needed to be taken care of, she could only hold back the idea of rushing to Shiqiao Village with Liu Tianshu.

Shi Dashan knew that Liu Tianshu was going to Shiqiao Village, west of Songyang Town, and he didn't ask the reason, and directly ordered Shi Qiang to accompany Liu Tianshu on this trip.

After all, Liu Tianshu is not familiar with the people in this area, although Shi Qiang has only been to Songyang Town, he is very familiar with the nearby mountain roads, and he is not afraid that Liu Tianshu will get lost in the mountains.

Shi Qiang was overjoyed when he learned that his father was going to accompany Brother Tianshu on a trip. In the past two days of getting along, he likes Liu Tianshu more and more, especially Brother Tianshu knows so many things that he doesn't know, which makes him full of reverence for Liu Tianshu.

Knowing that the matter to be done was urgent, Shi Dashan surprisingly agreed that the two of them would go out of the mountain overnight.

Liu Tianshu and Shi Qiang carried a few corn tortillas out of the courtyard, and walked out of the mountain along the stream by the moonlight, and the two talked quietly all the way, and the speed was not slow.

At four o'clock in the morning, the two finally walked to Songyang Town, the road from Songyang Town to Shiqiao Village, Shi Qiang was not familiar with it, according to Shi Qiang's proposal, the two were ready to go to the land temple outside the town to rest.

The land temple in Songyang Town is not big, because it has been in disrepair for a long time, it has long been dilapidated and dilapidated on all sides. Luckily, it's summer, so it's not cold even if you sleep on the streets.

Walking along the bumpy path and walking to the Land Temple, Shi Qiang looked back at Liu Tianshu and was just about to speak, Liu Tianshu suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, and at the same time his body quickly shrank back, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, there is a situation." ”

When Shi Qiang heard this, he took a closer look, and found that there was not only light in the Land Temple, but also there seemed to be angry shouts.
