As the night got darker, Zhangzhu asked Aunt Mei to wash the old grandmother's feet with Chen Ai's boiled water, and she helped massage the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet for the old woman, and talked with the old man for a while, and then saw that the old man's face was tired, so she let her sleep. Aunt Mei had already laid out the mattress at the other end of the kang and asked Zhangzhu to go to bed early. Zhangzhu gave up the place inside, and she slept not far from the edge of the kang.

Aunt Mei only went to the kang later, but when she saw that she was sleeping outside, she called a few times in a low voice: "Doctor Fu" But there was no response, she had to go over the palm beads and lie inside.

There is no light in the dark room, and there is only seven or eight steps away from the door when she gets off the kang to the left, and she is generally clear about the situation around the Mei family's courtyard, and she has already observed it during the day, if there is really any situation, it will not be a mess, and more importantly, in the afternoon, she secretly put a Qi Mei stick in the straw stack piled under the eaves, and there are two kitchen knives under the board of the Mei family.

Hopefully nothing happens, those people are just passing by. Zhangzhu comforted himself like this.

The two people behind her were already snoring, but Zhangzhu didn't dare to sleep with his eyes open. I don't know how long it took, it was when I was drowsy, and I was suddenly awakened by a dog barking, and Zhangzhu immediately sat up, listening to the movement outside, and then she heard a cry faintly coming.

Where could she still sleep, she pulled up her clothes, put on her shoes, and went down to the ground in the dark. With the impression of the day, I felt the wall and walked out of this room, next door was the hall, and Runsheng was still sleeping on the ground, she came to Runsheng's side, shook him vigorously twice, Runsheng waved his hand and said, "Don't drink, I won't drink." ”

"Hurry up, there's an accident!" She pinched Runsheng's arm again, and Runsheng was in pain, and then she woke up.

"Who...... Who? He immediately sat up.

"There is movement outside the leap student, and eighty percent of it is an accident. Remember what I told you during the day, and don't panic if you want to live. ”

When the leap student heard that something had happened, the cry became louder and louder, and he asked tremblingly, "Sure enough, they are wicked people, and they have come into the village?" ”

"It's about the same. I will hand over the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Mei family to you, and you have to ensure their safety. ”

"What about you, girl?"

Zhangzhu said: "I will be careful. She knew in her heart that the Mei family's cellar was not big enough to accommodate four people, and she still had some ability to protect herself.

Under the urging of Zhangzhu, Runsheng no longer dared to sleep, he put on his clothes, and did not dare to say anything about lighting the lamp, Zhangzhu woke up the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the kang, she and Aunt Mei said: "Auntie, there are thieves in the village, and the movement is not small, for the sake of safety, I will let Runsheng take you to hide first." ”

"Hide?!" Aunt Mei exclaimed.

"You can't panic, the more critical you are, the more you can't panic. Just listen to the leap born. Zhangzhu later gave the eyebrow stick to Runsheng, and she went to the kitchen board in the stove room and dragged out a kitchen knife to hold in her hand. If Xie Ruoyi had been afraid in the past, she would have killed her, and she would have to fight to the death with those Wuyi people, but now that this small body is greatly reduced, not to mention the force, she is also a little afraid of death.

God opened her eyes, and finally let her survive in another identity, and finally let her reunite with Ruolan, she still has to avenge the Xie family, she can't just die in vain, there is still hope for life, and if she dies, there will be nothing.

Zhangzhu cherishes her life, she only asks those Wuyi people to do less evil, grab things and leave, and don't hurt innocent villagers. The only people who can protect Zhangzhu now are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Mei family, and she is not capable enough for others.

The palm beads found a place to hide. She didn't feel sleepy at all, holding the kitchen knife in her hand tightly, paying full attention to the movement outside.

It was destined to be a sleepless night, the barking of the dog did not stop for a moment, and there was a heart-rending cry that made Zhangzhu tremble with anger. She didn't know how long it took, but she heard footsteps coming towards the courtyard of Mei's house, mixed with a few words that she didn't understand.

These people really robbed the house from house to house, if they didn't return, I was afraid that the Mei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be able to save it. Zhangzhu hid in the shadows, looking through a gap outside, there were people wearing hats, one holding a torch, and the other holding a long knife was slashing at the fence of the Mei family.

Just two people? She remembered that there were not many people in the woods she had seen during the day, and that they must have gone their separate ways. If there were only two of them, maybe she would still be able to fight. She is the daughter of the Xie family, and the Xie family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, and the ancestors of the Xie family did not teach them to be turtles with shrunken heads.

Zhangzhu doesn't want to hide like this anymore, the Mei family is poor, so they raise some chickens, ducks and geese, if they are ruined by these people, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are afraid that they will be angry. The old grandmother is in poor health, but she can't stand the toss.

Zhangzhu was not afraid in her heart, she held the kitchen knife in her hand and opened the door, and the two Wuyi people outside heard the movement but did not panic at all, and the person holding the torch shone on Zhangzhu's face, and saw that it was a young woman who was not afraid at all.

"Who are you? What are you doing at my house in the middle of the night? Zhangzhu questioned repeatedly, and she stood there without moving.

The man with the long knife muttered and could not understand a word of the palm beads, but the man with the torch next to him said, "Whoever knows each other, hand over all the valuable things in the house, otherwise our knife will not recognize people." ”

It was an authentic Da Chu dialect, and Zhang Zhu couldn't help but be angry when he heard it, and said: "You are a Da Chu person, why do you want to help the Wuyi people?" ”

"You don't care who we are! Go and get out all the valuable things in the house! The man's momentum was no less than that of the palm beads, and the other man with a hat seemed to be impatiently waiting, and he was about to break into the house with his long knife, and he wanted to snatch it himself. Zhangzhu stood there motionless.

While the man was not paying attention, she kicked over, and the man was unguarded, and cursed twice, and soon the dancer came with a long knife to cut the palm beads.

Zhangzhu was not afraid, and also held a kitchen knife to meet the enemy. The person holding the torch on the side was dumbfounded for a while, he had never seen a woman fight in his life for more than 30 years, this little girl was not false in every move, what is the origin of this person, not like an ordinary peasant girl.

The man with the long knife shook a few moves to respond to the enemy, but he didn't expect the moves to be seen through by the woman in front of him, he was beaten by a woman for the first time without momentum, so he was anxious, where can he take care of any moves, holding the long knife and slashing according to the palm beads, fortunately the palm beads dodged quickly, otherwise I was afraid that I would be able to cut off her arm.

After more than a dozen moves, Zhangzhu also saw a rough idea, the person in front of her only knew a little bit of punches and kicks, and she didn't have many moves to speak of, and at the same time she also found one thing, so she asked sharply: "You are not Wuyi people, who are you?" ”
