Seeing that it was approaching night, the rain outside was heavy again. The window lattices were not tightly closed, and the drizzle mixed with the cold air came in, and it fell wet on the potholed concrete floor. The room was originally a cold pot and a cold stove, but it was stirred by the wet and cold air, and it turned into ice.

Shen Qiangrose curled up on the bed, covered with two heavy quilts, but it was too damp and cold on her body. Candles were lit in the room, and they were placed alone on the old wooden table, letting in a thin light.

As far as the eye could see, the entire earthen wall had collapsed, covered with cobwebs, and the old cages inside the house were covered with a thick layer of ash.

This house was found by her in a hurry, and she didn't know how long it had been abandoned, so she could barely shelter from the wind and rain. She shuddered as she thought about the shocking scene of yesterday. It's just that I'm hiding here alone, and I don't know if I can escape.

And that Mr. Liao led away the guards yesterday, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now.

She remembered that the driver was dead, with a pistol in hand, bullets flying and smoke billowing in front of her. She was so angry that she hid the gun in the driver's hand in a hurry.

After separating from Mr. Liao, he ran wildly on the rocky path and walked all the way along the sheep intestine trail to find this small mountain village built between the mountain passes.

There are only seven or eight families on the left, most of them are lonely old people, she has no money on her, and she doesn't want to trouble others, so she hides here alone.

It's just that I'm scared in my heart, and I don't know when Su Qibai will send troops to catch up. The head was still dizzy, there was no strength in the body, and even the thoughts were intermittent, instinctively clenching the quilt, trying to get a trace of warmth, but feeling more and more cold.

She hid the Browning pistol under her pillow, always thinking about fighting to the death at the critical moment, she used to go to the school yard, Su Huiyi's marksmanship was first-class, but unfortunately she only learned a little fur.

Thinking like this, the door might as well be suddenly pushed open. The door to the house was crooked, and the sound creaked and creaked. Shen Qiang Rose looked at the door, it was dark and dreary, and a thin ray of light shone in the cold blue.

A figure slowly pointed inward, she subconsciously took out a gun, her hand couldn't stop shaking, and asked, "Who is it?" When he said this, he found that even his voice was shaking. When I looked at it, I saw an old lady walking in tremblingly, holding a bowl in her hand, steaming hot.

Shen Qiangrose hurriedly put the gun back, the old lady's legs and feet were not very neat, and it was very difficult to walk. It was easy to stay close, so he handed the bowl forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "Drink a bowl of hot soup, there is nothing to eat at home, so take a bite, it's so hot." ”

Shen Qiangrose took it, her tentacles were warm, she was moved in her heart, and said, "Grandma, thank you." The old lady waved her hand, sat down in her chair with great difficulty, and said, "It looks like this rain is going to last another night." She sighed, took a brass cigarette pouch and pot out of her bosom, lit it with a candle, and smoked it.

The thick fog of dry smoke spread, which made Shen Qiangrose's mind dizzy even more. As if her stomach was burning, she barely drank two sips of soup, and only felt that her chest was full, so she put the bowl on the head of the bed.

The old lady saw that although she was poorly dressed, her demeanor was beautiful and her manners were good. I couldn't help but say, "You little girl, how did you come to this poor country?" Could it be that there is a war going on outside? Half a month ago, there was another lot of artillery fire in the town, which caused the tobacco leaves to rise by several cents. Hey, this troubled world can't be beaten. ”

Shen Qiangrose was silent and didn't speak, and asked after a long time: "Grandma, do people often come here?" ”

The old lady squinted her eyes and knocked her cigarette pouch on the wooden table, and said, "Where did anyone come to this poor mountain?" Except for the merchants in the town, who come once a month, it is the people here who go up to the mountains to hunt and cut some firewood, and the family grows a few more plots of land to barely make a living. ”

Shen Qiangwei knew that this was between the mountain passes, and those officials and bandits might not come over, but Su Qibai pressed forward step by step...... She only felt that her heart was clenched tightly, like cooking oil on a fire, burning endlessly.

She leaned on the head of the bed with her knees crossed, no longer in any energy, and when she closed her eyes tiredly, sleepiness swept over. There was a thin layer of sweat sticky on his body, and his brain was sober, and he suddenly heard the old lady dragging her shoes and "popping" out, which made her ears buzz. She didn't want to open her eyes, she just wanted to fall asleep like this.

I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard the rooster crowing, which sounded in the silent sky, followed by the rustle of cars pressing against the ground. Her body trembled, and she woke up, and looked out the window, and saw that the sky was already faintly bright, and it was gray and raining.

She thought for a moment and pulled her pistol from between her pillows. got up and walked out quickly, but his steps were vague, and he lost his strength after taking a few steps in a row. Slowly pushing open the door, I heard a jumble of footsteps from far and near.

It was raining lightly outside, weaving a shallow net, and in the distance were a jagged stone wall with a few dead grasses growing here and there. Below was a grey gravel road, and the weeds grew tall and swayed in the rain.

She held the gun tightly in her hand, her mind was mixed, and she looked into the distance like this, as if she was not afraid, and she was in a calm state of mind.

It's just that his hands are still shaking, the clothes on his body have already been wet by the rain, and his eyes are also full of clouds, his back is straight, and he doesn't dare to stare ahead.

Now that there is no way to avoid it, she has no chance to escape. My mind was blank, and I didn't know what to do, so I let it go and fight to the death? I'm afraid she's dead before she shoots.

She tried to calm her fear, and several of the guards on the other side had already stepped over, and when they saw her, they raised their spears and shouted, "Put them down." ”

Shen Qiangrose was stunned for a moment, but she didn't put down the gun. Another figure rushed over, and I don't know who shouted, "Put the gun down." ”

She was furious and fired a shot in the direction of the guards, and the bullet "slammed" through the rain curtain on the wooden fence.

Her hands were trembling, and her body was too thin, washed by the rain, as if she was about to be submerged. Someone whispered in her ear, "Rose." ”

The voice was like the sound of Buddhism, which made her head look up in a trance. Opposite stood a man in a tweed uniform, tall and straight, with a long body like a green bamboo. The face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are like a little paint, and the depth is like an infinite dark night.

She was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this person was Su Huiyi. His mood suddenly became extremely complicated, and he just looked at him slowly walking towards him blankly, and panicked for no reason, so he said, "Stand there and don't move, take one more step and I'll shoot." ”

Su Huiyi continued to walk forward, and there was a hazy rain curtain between the two, as if they were separated by two spaces, and he asked, "Will you shoot?" ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that he was already close at hand, and her grievances seemed to explode at this moment, and she said hatefully: "My marksmanship was taught by you, if you want to accept the results, just try." ”

The garrison had already raised their spears, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at her. As soon as she pulls the trigger, they will shoot without hesitation.

Su Huiyi had to pause, waved his hand impatiently, and said coldly, "You all quit." ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that all the garrisons were retreating, and she couldn't tell what it was like, so she just looked at him coldly and said, "What are you doing here?" Just let them shoot, your father wants my life anyway! Seven young people killed me, why don't you ask your father for a credit. ”

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, as if each other's faces are covered with a veil, which makes it difficult to see. Su Huiyi said: "What is the point of me inviting such a skill? I know you hate my father and the Su family. If you just give me a shot, it can be regarded as revenge on my father. ”

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but sneer and said, "Do you think I don't dare to shoot?" Her hands shook uncontrollably, as if her reason was crumbling inch by inch. She couldn't tell the truth from the fake anymore, she just hated the situation.

Su Huiyi calmly took two steps closer to the muzzle of the gun, and said lightly: "I know you dare, but have you ever thought about the consequences?" If you shoot, you will have to bury me today, and then you will not only not be able to take revenge on your father, but also lose your own life, is it worth it? ”

The rain curtain smashed down like beads, and Shen Qiangrose only felt chills all over her body. It was like being in a land of ice and snow, and the chill almost made her unable to stand, and she took two steps back with her feet floating.

The successive blows had broken her, and she stood in a trance. The cold rain was like a sticky little snake, eroding her will inch by inch, and at that moment it seemed to be extremely tired.

She said hatefully: "All the people of your Su family are jackals, tigers and leopards!" Framed my father and forced my mother to death! Now they want to kill me again, but I can't avenge them, I hate that I don't have the right to call for wind and rain! Let all of you Su family die! ”

The moment those words without temperature come out of the mouth, the pain is irrepressible. It was like the sea churning, and it was painful in the heart. I wanted to say something, but I just closed my eyes weakly and turned into hot tears.

Su Huiyi looked at her silently, and the rain curtain was entangled into a net, enveloping them virtually. They are only a few steps away from each other, but at the moment they are strange and mixed with a distance that people cannot cross.

may be since the day the Shen family fell, everything that was intricate between the two of them had become a gap that could no longer be crossed.

He said, "I'll give you a chance to return home." ”

Shen Qiangrose opened her eyes to look at him in a trance, and saw that he was standing in place, still the beautiful son of the world.

It's just that the rain is blocked between the two, and his face is confused, and he vaguely hears him say word by word: "Marry me, only marry me." Only then can you enter the Su family openly and have a chance to take revenge. ”

Shen Qiangrose looked at him in a daze, her mind was groggy, and her remaining consciousness was gradually numb.

Su Hui saw that her face was pale, and her lips were even more purple from the cold, like a weak winter chrysanthemum, about to wither.

He ran over and snatched the gun from her hand and threw it on the ground. There was a "pop", splashing half a person's height of muddy water. The two were so close that they could smell each other's breath.

Su Huiyi looked at her, and there was no expression on her handsome face. He said, "Don't you want revenge?" This is your only chance. ”

Shen Qiangrose trembled and couldn't say a word, the rain was still falling, crackling on the eaves. Looking up, it was just the most ordinary morning, but the cold rain was dashing, and the wind was also bleak. She sighed inaudibly, and the last of her strength was exhausted.
