Because Shen Qiang Rose lived alone in this house, she was inevitably scared at night, and the long howl of wild beasts was faintly heard in the distance, and the night wind was also whistling, and the window lattices were rattling.

There was only one oil lamp in the room, and a small halo of light in the dim light was not enough to dampen the fear.

Shen Qiangrose was in good spirits, and she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness at the moment. She lay on the kang and looked at the thick paper pasted on the window lattice, rustling with the cold wind that penetrated through her.

In a trance, she just felt sleepy, but suddenly she heard a scream, and a sudden sound in the silent night made her hairs stand on end. Listening closely, there were sounds of insults and crying one after another.

She was stunned, and hurriedly put on a padded jacket and went out. It was pitch black outside, mixed with a cold wind that swirled overhead. The wooden fence creaked, and in the distance there was the rustle of dead grass, more like footsteps, very faint flickering and nearing.

She followed the sound and walked to the adjacent house, where she saw the lights on. She didn't feel scared at this time, she pushed the door and went in, and saw Ruan Hongyu curled up on the ground, and Zhao Qian was waving a belt to beat her.

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this, so she shouted, "Stop!" When Ruan Hongyu saw her coming, she hurriedly tugged at Zhao Gan's trouser leg, crying and begging him, "You let me go." ”

Zhao Qian hindered Shen Qiangrose from being here, and it was not good to have a seizure, so he shook off her hand vigorously and said with a smile: "Miss hasn't rested so late?" ”

Shen Qiang Rose forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm a little bored, and I want to ask Hongyu to talk to me." As she spoke, she stepped forward to help Ruan Hongyu, and when she saw that her eyes were hazy with tears, she wiped her tears for her.

Zhao Qian laughed, waved the belt in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hongyu, then you can go over and accompany Miss Shen." ”

Ruan Hongyu immediately trembled, and grabbed Shen Qiangrose's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave her alone.

Shen Qiangrose took Ruan Hongyu back to the room, and for a while, her heart was full of thoughts, as if there was something suspicious about to come out, but she couldn't figure it out.

She sat on the kang, thinking about Qiao Yunhua's various styles, why she would arrange herself in such a farmhouse, and the main family was not harmonious, but it seemed that everything was arranged.

She couldn't help but turn her eyes to look at Ruan Hongyu, and when she saw her crying low, the doubts in her heart were temporarily suppressed. persuaded her softly, Ruan Hongyu seemed to be very aggrieved, crying pear blossoms with rain, intermittently telling her fate.

It turned out that since Ruan Hongyu fled to Jinling, she was robbed by Zhao Gan, a hooligan, because of her lovely appearance, she had no identity certificate, and she had no relatives in her hometown, so the people at the police station did not pay attention to it.

That Zhao Qian is an out-and-out hooligan, beating her twice for three days, and he doesn't know what to do to make a living, his family has a few acres of wasted land, and he gambles and drinks all day long, which makes Ruan Hongyu's life very difficult.

Shen Qiangrose listened to the twists and turns of her fate, and immediately held her hand sympathetically and said, "Don't cry, I may be able to think of a way for you." ”

Ruan Hongyu shook her head in a panic and said, "Don't dare, if you let him know, I'll be beaten again." ”

As she spoke, she lifted the padded jacket on her body, and when Shen Qiangrose looked at it, she saw that the snow-white skin was blue and purple, and it was a large piece of new marks and old wounds.

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be surprised, in the past, when she was a female student, she paid attention to women's democracy and freedom, and this time she saw such a thing, she didn't care where she would, but she couldn't have a seizure, so she put this matter in her heart.

Ruan Hongyu wiped her tears and said, "Miss Shen, I know that you are a good person, and now you are also facing difficulties, otherwise you would not have hid here, but it is a pity that people like you are also calculated." ”

Her voice was low, but Shen Qiangrose heard it clearly, and immediately asked, "What did you say?" ”

Ruan Hongyu glanced outside, pretending to cry while writing a few words in the palm of her hand.

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be stunned, and when she raised her eyes to look at Ruan Hongyu, her eyes were calm and calm, as if it was expected.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Hongyu hurriedly clasped her hand and said, "It's true, it was the dead ghost who said it drunk, I won't hear it wrong." ”

Shen Qiangrose nodded calmly and did not speak. Seeing this, Ruan Hongyu didn't dare to say anything more, and sat quietly on the side.

After a while, Shen Qiangrose turned her head to look at her, and suddenly said, "The way you sing and comment must be very beautiful." ”

Ruan Hongyu couldn't hold back her joy when she heard this, and said, "I'll sing it to you." ”

She raised her voice, "A flower flies but spring, and the wind is sad...... she sang and sang, and the corners of her eyes moistened.

Shen Qiang Rose was lying on the inside with her eyes closed, and Ruan Hongyu's sad voice was in her ears, which catalyzed the sadness in her heart even more. She thought about the distance, the mountains and seas, and only hated that she didn't have a pair of wings to be able to fly out and get out of such a quagmire early.

In the dead of night, Ruan Hongyu had fallen asleep peacefully, and Shen Qiangrose listened to her steady breathing, but she didn't feel the slightest sleep. The recent succession of blows had taken her toll on her spirits, and too many things had scared her.

Originally, the night was quiet, but she heard a few sudden dog barks, and there were faint gunshots coming from far and near, she got up in a panic, pushed the sleeping Ruan Hongyu, and said, "Wake up." ”

She felt that something was wrong, so she quickly got dressed and got out of bed, and was waiting to go out. There was a noise of footsteps in the courtyard, and someone knocked on the door in a hurry, "Miss Shen, Mr. Liao's people have been ambushed, I must take you away immediately." ”

Ruan Hongyu was obviously taken aback, so she hurriedly got dressed and asked in horror, "Miss Shen, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Qiangrose was not afraid that someone would kill her, but she couldn't do nothing and let others slaughter her. She said: "If you stay here, you can't live, you come with me." ”

Ruan Hongyu nodded in horror and followed her out of the courtyard. It was dark outside, and there was a firefight not far away, and the guns crackled, startling the dogs in the neighborhood in unison.

Several men led them to the back, Shen Qiangrose was wearing a pair of ill-fitting cloth shoes, and the ground was pitted, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She almost fell down several times, but fortunately, Ruan Hongyu held her hand tightly.

The gunfire was getting closer and closer, as if hitting a dead tree beside her, and she poured a few breaths of cold air, and her breathing was out of breath.

She didn't feel afraid, and ran blindly forward, as if trying to break free from the shackles, but she didn't know which trap she would fall into.

A group of people ran into the dry grass, the dry grass was flying, half a person high, densely blocking in front of them, each step had to be dialed by hand, Shen Qiangrose's hand did not know how many cuts were cut, just running forward like a machine, those men protected her in front, while covering and turning back to counterattack.

When she looked up, she saw the moon hanging round in the night, and there was a cold blue light in the brightness, looking down on her so coldly and gloomily. As far as the eye can see, it seems that this dry grass connects with the sky, boundless.

The bullets flew and hit the dead grass, Shen Qiangrose didn't dare to look at it, Ruan Hongyu grabbed her hand tightly. As the night fell, the cold air filled her nose, and she gasped for breath, and her chest seemed to explode.

Several cars came on, shooting bright headlights, and dense figures had already surged out, each holding a gun rushed over, and when they ran behind them, it was a strafing shot.
