Chapter 14 Night Raid
Disasters often occur when you are unprepared.
——— inscription
Night, sinking like water.
In the land of Panjiang, all the scenery is in darkness, the distant mountains are hazy, and only vague outlines can be seen, and the horizon has been integrated with the night sky.
Xiaopanjiang, a halfway up the mountain, a lone lamp swayed, the light was very weak, but it illuminated the rugged mountain road ahead.
It was late at night, Jiang Ruoxue and Zheng Yongcai walked out of Sanmiao Village, flashlights, and slowly descended the mountain.
"How's it going?" Zheng Yong asked.
"Very good, this kid is smart and reasonable, no need to speak!" Ruoxue said.
Tonight, she didn't run in vain.
Regarding Zhao Shanhe, although there are rumors that he is unruly and a problem teenager, she feels that this is not the case, he has something in his bones that others do not have: proud, strong, and unyielding!
His attitude towards her was very casual, but not arrogant, not pretentious, she knew that he respected her, and that was enough.
Ruoxue is very relaxed and satisfied, she likes this career, although at the beginning, although there will be many difficulties, but this is the meaning of her coming here.
It's better to have something to do than to do nothing.
She was afraid of being alone, and in the dead of night, she tasted solitude alone.
That feeling is undoubtedly very worrying.
She would think of him, sweet, warm, but when she came out of that warm world, there was a burst of emptiness and helplessness.
This feeling is like a big invisible hand that digs deep into her heart, turning over the river and the sea, separating her from that person.
She came out, but her soul was left there.
So, she enjoys being busy.
Zheng Yong returned to his taciturn state, didn't ask any more questions, flashlighted, and followed behind Ruoxue.
The night was vast, there was silence on all sides, and in the whole mountain, there was only the footsteps of the two of them.
They seem to be walking in boundless darkness.
"Huh......" Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and on a hot day, Zheng Yong shivered.
"Wait!" Zheng Yong stopped Ruoxue, opened his hands, and protected it in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Ruoxue is puzzled.
"It's so quiet!" Zheng Yong said in a deep voice, "I didn't even hear the crickets!" There was no sound at all! ”
"Buzz!" At this moment, there was a soft sound in the night sky.
"Get down!" Zheng Yong shouted, and at the first time, Ruoxue was knocked down.
"Bang!" The next moment, a stone flew and smashed into the place where Ruoxue was standing.
At this time, she realized that the humming sound was the sound of stones spinning at great speed in the wind.
She, just passed by death.
If it weren't for Zheng Yong's vigilance, she would have died, and she would have died in a daze.
"To the corner!" Zheng Yong roared, dragged Ruoxue, hid under the dark barrier on the side of the road, and turned off the flashlight.
At this time, in the night sky, there was a constant buzzing sound, like countless hovering dragonflies, uneasy.
It was a stone, a myriad of stones, densely packed, flying from the dark depths of the unknown.
"Bang bang bang!"
The stones smashed around Zheng Yong and Ruoxue, and the sound was everywhere, like a crazy stone rain!
Ruoxue's face also turned pale.
The rocks were flying, and they were huddled under the dark barrier, unable to take a step, and for a while, they were in a dilemma.
It's a dead end!
"It's not a way to go on like this, if you go out, you will be stoned to death immediately, and if you don't go out, you will wait for death, it's too passive! It doesn't matter so much! Zheng Yong spoke, and in Ruoxue's panicked gaze, his hand touched his waist.
"Brother Yong, what are you doing?" Ruoxue grabbed Zheng Yong's hand tightly, thinking that he was going to leave her and run away alone.
"Don't be afraid!" Zheng Yong patted the back of Ruoxue's hand, and he took out something from his waist.
It was too dark, and Ruoxue couldn't see clearly, so he subconsciously touched the things in Zheng Yong's hands, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body.
It's a gun!
The stone rain was still falling, crackling.
Suddenly, Zheng Yong raised his hand, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" The gun rang out, and the rain of stones in the sky stopped.
"I'm Zheng Yong of Longtan Village, who is it? Who the fuck wants my life, to Lao Tzu Ming, a bunch of stinky rats and dogs with their heads and tails hidden! ”
As soon as the words fell, on the mountain, hurried footsteps sounded.
"Want to fucking run?" Zheng Yong roared angrily, holding a gun and preparing to chase after him, but Ruoxue grabbed his hand.
At this moment, the footsteps were far away, and soon there was no movement.
"Ruoxue, are you alright?" Zheng Yong was helpless, put away the gun, and helped Ruoxue to sit down.
This girl is really scared.
No matter how calm she is on weekdays, she is just a little girl after all.
The scene just now was thrilling, how had she ever seen it?
She is calm, if she were someone else, she would have been so frightened that she would cry, in that case, she would definitely die!
It is clear that it was a premeditated murder, and it is not known who was targeted and who wanted to kill them.
"They...... Are they gone? Ruoxue said in a trembling voice, at this time, she was still holding Zheng Yong's hand.
"Gone!" Zheng Yong said.
"Are you sure?" Ruoxue was frightened and very suspicious.
"I'm gone!" Zheng Yong said seriously, "Hit the black stones, they just wanted to kill us just now, they could only run away, and they were afraid of being caught by me!" ”
Ruoxue finally let go of Zheng Yong's hand and let out a long breath.
"Let's get out of here and get in the car!" No longer staying, Zheng Yong helped Ruoxue and touched the black road down the mountain.
After walking for half an hour, I finally heard the sound of the river crashing on the bank.
Here, it should be safe.
Suddenly, Ruoxue's body went limp, as if she had lost all her strength, and she almost fell, but fortunately, Zheng Yong kept supporting her.
"It's okay!" Zheng Yong asked again.
"Nope!" Ruoxue shook her head, "I was scared just now, and when I breathe a sigh of relief, that's it!" ”
"Come!" Suddenly, Zheng Yong squatted down, "I'll carry you!" ”
"This ......" Ruoxue hesitated.
"When is it, you still pay so much attention!" Zheng Yong said, "In my eyes, you are just a little girl, no different from Huanhuan Mian, you are still afraid of me touching you!" ”
Ruoxue's face turned red, but because of Zheng Yong's words, she relaxed her emotions.
Without further hesitation, she climbed onto Zheng Yong's back.
"Gone!" Zheng Yong got up, carried Ruoxue on his back, and walked into the crumbling stone arch bridge.
Ruoxue didn't feel scared anymore.
For some reason, on his generous back, she was at ease.
Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, it was this man, this rugged and heroic big man, who did not care to protect her.
Since she was a child, no one has ever been so kind to her.
"Brother Yong, am I useless? I was so scared that I couldn't even move the road again! ”
"No, what's wrong?"
"Brother Yong, do you have any sisters?"
"No, what?"
"When I'm my big brother, okay?"
"Huh!"
"No, I want to recognize you as my big brother!"
"Good! There's a female postdoc who is my sister, and I can't ask for it! ”
"Giggles! No one will dare to bully me in the future! ”
"That's it!"
"Big brother!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, that's what I want to call you!"
"Huh!"
"Big brother!"
"What's wrong again?"
"Giggles, I want to scream a few more times!"
"Dead girl, just love to make fun of me, I just graduated from junior high school, low culture, don't bully me!"
"Big brother, how did you catch up with Yuyou's sister-in-law?"
"Hehe, your brother is amazing!"
"Talk to me!"
"Dead skin, what else can I do? In addition to your brother's little man's charm, it's in hand, your sister-in-law is beautiful, she is still an engineer, hehe, the head of the village, Wu Dazhuang, Xu Xiaobo, especially Wu Laosan on that dog day, his eyes are straight, if he doesn't look at him as my elder, see if I don't beat him to death, anyway, they are all envious, let me tell you, when your sister-in-law just entered the door, the entire Longtan Village was a sensation, and Aunt Mei also passed the bracelet from her family to Yuyou, you know, Sister Chen Xi didn't get it, and ......"
"Forehead......" Ruoxue was stunned, why is this person, usually rarely talking, rare words, as soon as he talks about his wife, he will talk endlessly.
Ruoxue can hear that he loves her wife very much, although he is usually controlled to death, he is a strict wife, but this is a real man, considerate of his wife at home, and domineering outside.
He deserves to be that man's brother!
"Big brother, you're so nice!" Ruoxue said from the heart.
The river was surging, and the brother and sister, talking and laughing, crossed the stone arch bridge and finally came to the car.
Putting Ruoxue down, Zheng Yong immediately started the car, did not stop for a moment, and headed towards the mountain.
Ruoxue finally returned to her normal color and calmed down.
A terrible question was before her: Who was going to kill her?
Ruoxue thought deeply, she went to Panshan, but for two or three days, she never offended anyone.
If you have to say that you are offended, there is only one, Luo Bangcheng!
But that person, although stubborn, can be regarded as a heroic dry cloud, even if he doesn't like her, he will put it on his face, and come clearly, not to mention, they are already friends, and he also gave her a set of clothes from the Buyi family.
Whose path is she standing in?
Those teachers? Huang Liang or Yang Chunyuan?
It can't be them, these two people, although they are a little pedantic, but they value fame, this kind of thing, they can't do it, and they don't dare to do it, their treatment at school is not low, and they won't take risks.
Zhao Shanhe? It can't be him, this teenager, although a little unruly, is by no means a sinister villain.
Could it be the gamblers? Or are there some people in the Eighteen Villages? It shouldn't be, she doesn't have a direct or indirect conflict of interest with them, if you say that she doesn't like her and makes some trouble, then it's reasonable, but, Fang Cai, obviously wants her life, they won't be like this.
But other than that, Ruoxue can't remember anyone else.
"Big brother followed me with a gun, could it be that before he came, he knew that there was danger?"
With a flash of her eyes, Ruoxue turned her face sideways and said crisply, "Big brother, do you know who is trying to harm us?" ”
"Yes!" Zheng Yong replied very simply, and for a while, Ruoxue was a little caught off guard.
"I'll tell you when I go back, I didn't expect them to be so bold and so rampant!"
With a cold snort, Zheng Yong stepped on the accelerator with one foot, and the dusty Volkswagen climbed up the mountain at high speed.
