Chapter 24: Looking at the mountains and sighing
No, Zhang Sheng's mother told Yingqiu that their mother and son live in the deep mountains and dense forests all year round, and they rarely have contact with outsiders, nor do they have too much contact, so they will not offend anyone, let alone have enemies.
If this is not the case, then it must be a robbery.
However, when Zhang Sheng took out his underwear, he found that the silver taels he got from selling firewood in the morning were not missing at all.
This is even more puzzling.
In the case of being puzzled, Zhang Shengniang and his son felt extremely frightened, Yingqiu comforted them, don't panic, maybe that person is really looking for revenge and committing murder, but he just recognized the wrong person, take a look in a few days, if it's okay, it will prove that Yingqiu's judgment is correct.
And asked Zhang Sheng not to chop wood first.
Both of them are honest people, and they obeyed Yingqiu's arrangement.
As originally planned, continue to prepare everything you need for your wedding at home.
During this period, Yingqiu always had a mystery in her heart that could not be solved, it was the second day she first came here, Zhang Sheng went out to chop wood, his mother was sweeping the yard outside, she was the only one left in the house, cleaning up the bed in the house, at this time, the back window was open.
After she finished cleaning up the house, she wanted to close the open back window, but she couldn't hear the movement outside, Yingqiu looked, and suddenly a black shadow passed in front of her, startling her, and when she looked closely, she saw that the bamboo forest shook violently for a while, as if something had penetrated into it, but because the bamboo was too dense, she didn't see clearly.
This is a person or an animal, if it is an animal, it is understandable, because I heard Zhang Sheng's mother say that there are many wild things around here, and they often break into the courtyard of the house to steal food, so they should be guarded.
If he is a human being, he must not be a good person if he is sneaking around like this, so what does he want to do, steal things, what can he steal, such a poor hut, almost surrounded by walls, what is there to steal?
If it's not for theft, what can you do?
Yingqiu began to feel that it might have something to do with her, because when Zhang Sheng and herself first met that day, she found that there seemed to be a figure in the distance, and when they walked here, a figure had been following behind, and Yingqiu was afraid of causing Zhang Sheng's uneasiness, so she didn't tell him.
Did the two times be done by the same person?
Yingqiu felt that this possibility was very great, so she was alerted: If this is the case, it is impossible to stop here, and similar situations may happen again in the future, but there is one point, you still can't tell them about the mother and son, because even if you tell, for such an honest and honest family, there is no good solution, it will only increase their psychological burden in vain, and you can only rely on yourself to deal with it.
In fact, she didn't have any better way, the only thing was to hide the conch shell more hidden, even if she was sleeping, she secretly found a bamboo pole, sharpened its end, and placed it in the corner of the house, just in case.
One day, he was seen by Zhang Sheng, and he thought it was a little in the way and wanted to throw it out, but Yingqiu didn't let him, saying that there were too many animals outside, and it was better to have this thing in the house.
Zhang Sheng glanced at her suspiciously, didn't make a sound, and leaned on her.
Because Zhang Sheng is at home, the progress can be much faster, and after two days, it is basically ready.
In fact, there is not much to prepare, just a few houses, clean them up, and then change the window paper, cut a few happy words, basically about the same.
Because Zhang Sheng's injury will take some time to get better, Zhang Sheng's mother wants to postpone the marriage date, but Yingqiu disagrees, since she is willing to marry Zhang Sheng, she wants to get married as soon as possible, she is worried that it will change after a long time.
Because since that accident, Yingqiu felt that this matter might have something to do with her, and she also saw it, although his mother and son didn't say anything, she felt that the mother and son might feel the same way as herself.
For they have lived here for many years, working from sunrise to sunset, and their lives have been peaceful and comfortable.
Why has this happened since she came here, and when she was about to get married?
Zhang Sheng's mother began to think of a question, one day, when Yingqiu was not present, he quietly muttered a few words to Zhang Sheng, meaning nothing more than doubts about Yingqiu's origin.
She said that since she came here with other people, why was she the only one left, saying that the other people had been separated, and why no one had come back to her until now after so many days, this matter is unreasonable and reasonable.
They all fled together, life and death together, and they should take care of each other, and when they go to a safe place, there is no reason to be like strangers and go their separate ways.
Moreover, such a beautiful and quiet girl, at first glance, is not from an ordinary family, even if the war is chaotic and her family members have been killed, she can't be alone, she will be accompanied by relatives or family members, where are the others?
Since seeing Yingqiu, Zhang Sheng has only been immersed in the longing of happiness all day long, and has no time to think about anything else.
Today, after being reminded by his mother, he still didn't think so, but said that his mother was thinking too much, and now the form outside is changing, and anything will happen, so I hope my mother doesn't have to worry too much.
The wedding date has arrived, and the weather on this day is particularly clear and cloudless.
Relatives from dozens of miles away were invited, and everyone gathered together happily, because there were few opportunities to meet, and they seemed very affectionate to each other.
The wedding was very simple, just bowed in front of my mother, and then worshiped heaven and earth, and it was over.
Just as he was about to go further, he suddenly heard a violent "rustling" sound in the surrounding bamboo forest.
People couldn't help but be taken aback, and before they could react, they saw a group of masked black-clothed men breaking in, each holding a big knife and spear in their hands.
People were caught off guard and were cut down and stabbed one after another.
The big yellow dog was originally lying in the nest and laying cubs, but when he saw this, he also jumped out and barked wildly, and bit a person's leg to the death, refusing to relax.
Another gangster went up and stabbed him to the ground.
The festive courtyard turned into a sea of blood, and the cries and roars were mixed together.
Zhang Sheng's mother was the first to be stabbed, and she was already lying on the ground and couldn't move, Zhang Sheng was terrified, and wanted to save people, but she didn't want to, she was stabbed in the back, and immediately fell in a pool of blood, and the rest of the people died, injured, and miserable.
And the strange thing is that Yingqiu is the only one who is unscathed, that is, no one has done anything to her.
Yingqiu took the opportunity to go back to the house and get the sharp bamboo pole, wanting to stab the bandits, but who knew that the man was quick and quick, dodged and dodged, flew up with a kick, and kicked the bamboo pole away.
A man sprang out from behind, as if he was the leader, and pulled her firmly, dragged her away, and the rest of the people saw this, and also left the dead and wounded, and with a whistle, they went away.
Yingqiu was stunned by this scene, although she was a little prepared before, but she didn't expect the scene to be so tragic, she didn't have time to think about anything, the people had been dragged out of the distance, and when they came back to their senses, they had been pressed to the ground by those people, and their hands and feet were firmly tied, unable to break free.
At this time, she remembered the conch shell, and moved her arm a little, and found that it was still there, which made her heart a little steady, and she began to think about how to grasp it in her hand, so that she could escape.
These people just walked at a fast pace, and neither of them spoke to each other, and the leader only commanded the rest of the people how to act by means of gestures.
In a few moments, they were out of the mountains.
At this time, the person in charge turned around and looked at Yingqiu lovingly.
Because his face was tightly covered, Yingqiu couldn't see what this person looked like, but from that unusual look, it could be seen that this must be an extremely vicious and murderous person.
At this time, the group had come to a flat place, but when they looked around, there was still no one around.
After walking some way further, a carriage drawn by two tall horses appeared in front of them, and they placed Yingqiu on top of it.
The person in the lead and the two people who were watching Yingqiu got into the carriage, and the people who drove the carriage shouted, and the horse neighed twice, opened his hooves and ran, and the rest of the people who did not get into the carriage ran behind.
The car began to run towards a high mountain.
Gradually, the road began to narrow and become bumpy.
The fog was also very heavy, and everything was hazy. I also saw the green bamboo forests all over the mountains, and I couldn't see the end at a glance. In the verdant bamboo forest, a variety of birds rest. Chirping, a hundred birds chirping in unison, as if they were talking about something, the song is really good. Listening to it, it is like arriving in a fairyland on earth.
After some time, they came to the bottom of the mountain, and faced a cliff, which was blue, rising from the ground, reaching into the sky, and was so steep that it made people gasp at a glance.
The carriage came to a plank road and stopped, the plank road is formed by the cliff, built according to the stone, winding, climbing the cliff and going up and down, the steps are narrow and curved, steep and dangerous.
A few people went up first, and when they walked up, they felt that the plank road was crumbling, and it made people feel the danger of the canyon.
I heard a roar in front of me, and when I looked ahead, a huge waterfall was pouring down from the clouds and mist in the sky, splashing hazy water everywhere, reflecting a rainbow of colorful colors in the sun.
The waterfall and the Lingyun plank road are intertwined with each other, which is breathtaking.
Yingqiu thought, this group of people must be some habitual criminals who rob homes and houses, and the reason why they chose such a place is because they are dangerous and rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Even if they commit heinous heinous crimes, once they are hidden here, the emperor can only look at the mountains and sigh, and they can't help them at all.
Yingqiu had never seen such a great place, but she didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all, she was anxious, looking forward to escaping as soon as possible and returning to Zhang Sheng's house to see how they were doing now.
Unexpectedly, a shadow came straight to her!
