I looked up at the blue sky, I know the sun, moon and stars in this blue sea and sky, but why is the weather so cloudy? Everything here is a fog array. Are these frightening now? We were bound to a big net, and the more we struggled, the tighter the net became, as if we were silently fighting against me, and we had to suffocate to stop.

At noon, Na Jintang and I went out for a walk after dinner, and we prepared enough dry food for Aunt Seven and Aunt Six to send over, because before leaving, they all needed enough abundant food and enough medical products to ensure their survival. We are also trying to find the old gang leader Cao as soon as possible, and of course we will try our best to evacuate here as soon as possible.

Both sides are very important, and both sides have to be done at the same time. Therefore, ensuring the safety of the seventh aunt is the top priority. Who said that he has no blood relationship with me, and at the same time has no interest in contact, after all, they are two poor lives, treat the two of them, I have a tacit understanding with Na Jintang, that is to say, arrange for him to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and it will be dangerous to stay for a while if he stays for one more day.

The brocade had prepared for a few ropes in the bag, and I asked him why?

He said: "It is also a very troublesome matter for the seventh aunt to stay in Shandong, although they have nothing to do for the time being, but they are not sure, the savage will know his whereabouts, if someone else finds out where he is hiding, the two weak women must not be able to cope with the current complicated situation." If something happens and we are not around, they will surely die. So I thought if the weather was going to be good today, maybe we would have sent them out of the cottage this afternoon. ”

My heart was pounding, I was nervous, and I asked, "Are you sure now?" If you take a detour down from the side of Shanxi, will you encounter a wild man? So have this certainty to do this thing? ”

Na Jintang looked at me quietly, he was very serious and serious now: "I shouldn't be sure, but I want to gamble, this matter is very dangerous, don't you go with me, okay?" Wait for me in the cottage, I'll come back in the evening, I promise to come back safely and completely. ”

I looked at him with a smile: "Is this possible?" Do you think I'm probably not going? ”

A thousand words, he goes, I go; He stays, I stay. There will never be any reason for us to be apart again.

But I really have to leave with Aunt Seven in the afternoon, so you can imagine how dangerous it is this afternoon! Thousands of thoughts turned in my mind, and I couldn't help but tremble all over my body after the heavy fog that lingered in the past few days.

Na Jintang grabbed me and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry about anything, don't be afraid." I'm here. Yesterday when you were sleeping at night, I also went to the neighborhood to survey the terrain and draw a map, and I found a secret, well, the junction of these two roads, if they are relatively safe place, is the place where they attack each other, that place is the open area, this open area does not belong to either of them, this is their tacit understanding, even this public area is also the most dangerous, so we want to safely avoid the cottage brothers and savages, you can go from this road, and this road to reach the bottom of the mountain is also the fastest. If the time goes well, we can go down the mountain in less than two hours. If we get them safely and then we come back on the other side, we might be able to arrive quickly before dinner in the evening. ”

I nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Then they took me by the hand, and we went out for a walk, and after a few days of harmony, they had already relaxed their vigilance against us, but it was not ruled out that there were still a few secret whistles following us in the dark. But these people were all quickly thrown away by Na Jintang, and it was impossible for them to track us down.

We came to the cave of the seventh aunt, and the brocade hall called three times with a cuckoo.

As soon as we reached the mouth of the cave, there was a faint, suppressed crying in our ears, and further inside, the sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the stone, and in the depths of the cave sat the seventh aunt and the sixth aunt were lying down.

Suddenly, I felt that someone was walking towards us, and the seventh aunt who was sitting stood up and shouted slightly tremblingly: "Little boss......"

It's the voice of Aunt Seven.

Looking at the other wooden appearances, I was startled, my mind kept thinking about what had been missed in the past few days, everything was replaying in my mind like a flash in my mind, I was thinking that they seemed to have arranged for them to prepare food and some medicine for the past two days. Is there something happening to them now?

Aunt Seven looked at us like a blank voice, her eyes were red and swollen, and her sideburns had changed into a small white velvet flower.

My chest felt as if I had been hit by a big stone, my shoulders trembled, and I grabbed Aunt Qi's hand tightly: "You...... The sixth aunt is too ......"

Aunt Seven was too dumb and said, "We can't live anymore...... The sixth aunt is too sick, I am sacrificing flowers for us in advance, and I will leave cleanly in this world. She didn't say any more, and whimpered.

My mind was blank, and then I slowly saw that the sixth aunt was lying on the stone in too much pain, her eyes were also dull, and she had long lost the breath of a living person, like a living specimen of the walking dead.

Aunt Seven covered her face beside me and cried softly.

Aunt Seven said while crying: "For more than ten years, we have lived well in the cottage, and we have long been accustomed to relying on the old man to survive, and we have left the cottage and have no skills to survive independently." But I want to live, but I don't know how? There is no way back, there is no shore ahead, yesterday our sisters were thinking about the possibility of leaving here safely, and there was no hope for it......"

Najin Tang said silently in the dark, "Maybe we can leave today." ”

This sentence hit the two of them like an earth-shattering blow.

The most direct reaction was the sixth aunt, who sat up directly from the stone, looked us up and down, if it was like a detector used on my body to keep rotating, her face was pale, there were still unwashed blood stains on her face, there was a deep wound behind her earlobe, her neck was still mottled with blood, and her right arm was still wrapped in a white veil, she asked me in a daze: "Really?" ”

I nodded silently.

She jumped up on her horse again and kowtowed to us regardless of it: "Hero, take me away, I can't stay here for a day, unless I die!" Her eyes were full of begging and pleading.

My body shook, and I hurriedly helped her up: "Now we will leave immediately, without further ado, it will be too late to get late." ”

Aunt Qi looked at me too much, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she looked at me sincerely: "If we can go today, even if we die on the road, we are willing to go!" Only when we go down the mountain can we live again, whether it is to help others wash their clothes, or to be other people's mothers, it is better than living a frank life here. ”

I looked at them silently, they are not like me before, in order to survive, you must learn to fight, learn your own fight, and then learn to fight with the sky, the sound is endless, because we don't want to be suppressed by others into spring mud.

I looked at the two of them with firm eyes, and I always knew in my heart, by the way, I should live like this, I have been forced to become a little ant, and the humble character can't let the so-called humble life give up the thirst for life. Nothing to return, go all out, live vigorously with your life, even if you want to die, you have to die willingly.

I'm glad I can help these two lives, although I don't know what I'll do next, maybe there are many traps and obstacles ahead, maybe the front is not as glorious and rich as we imagined. Maybe after they go down the mountain, they really want to be an old mother, or do laundry, and use simple things to maintain their livelihood, maybe their future life is really not as prosperous and rich as in the cottage.

But, at least.

They have an independent dignity, they will have their own life, and they can breathe freely.

Maybe I'm naïve in my imagination, maybe these things only come into existence in dreams.

Perhaps, perhaps.

Who knows tomorrow's day? If tomorrow comes.

I silently turned to the brocade, and I didn't know what he would think when he saw our conversation, but there was no doubt that we had to leave.

At this moment, he looked at us very cautiously, and gave him two suggestions: "The weather is fine today, if you plan to leave today, it is a good choice, but we will take a very dangerous road, that road will be more terrible than you have ever experienced, and the same road has a river, and there are unknown traps, this detail is something I did not imagine, because he could not imagine." That is to say, when we go down this path, we choose to deal with death, choose to make a gamble with God, and the probability of us winning this gamble is very small. ”

Aunt Qi asked too calmly, "What about the second way?" ”

Na Jintang replied unhurriedly: "The second way is that you continue to wait in the cave, if the opportunity is good, maybe you can find the old gang leader Cao, let him give an edict, let you officially return to the mountain, and you will no longer have to go through the road of defection." But there is no trace of the old gang leader Cao at present, and I am not sure whether the old gang leader is alive or dead now? I'll need some time for this. Maybe, maybe not, if we don't find it, when we go back, we can take you with us by the way, you see you make a choice. ”

The seventh aunt and the sixth aunt were too silent, the two of them looked at each other, and then they looked at the Jintang and said with very firm eyes, "Let's go." ”

"Why?"

"Because we have been in the mountains for more than ten years, since the thirteenth stinky woman came here, the old gang leader has not seen us sisters, he has not believed us for a long time, even if we go back, we are dispensable people in his mind. What's more, to bring down that stinky woman, it's not something that can be done in a day or two. Instead of waiting for these insignificant things, it is better to let go and welcome a new life, I lose, I accept. ”

The sixth aunt also added: "Even if I die on this road, I am willing, after being sold to the mountains since I was a child, I have never been to my hometown of Yueyang, Hunan, I want to go home to see, even if it is crawling, I am willing!" When she said this, she burst into tears.

The seventh aunt also hid her face and cried.

The two of them were just poor women.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at the Jintang, my eyes brushing over him like a knife, he didn't know what was going on, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Am I doing something wrong again? ”

I pulled him aside and whispered to him in evil language: "Think about it, if you take so many wives and concubines in the future, there will definitely be such a troublesome thing in your backyard, be careful and blessed......" I gritted my teeth when I said this.

He smiled and said: "At this dangerous moment, your little head is still thinking about these ups and downs, with your mother... Night... Yes, lend me a thousand dares, I don't dare. How do I always smell vinegar. ”

My heart was secretly happy, and I gave him a kick in the dark while they were not looking.

When the seventh aunts are ready, we are ready to set off.
