Chapter 12: Distress

Lao Xiucai is an old man with some insight and a little wisdom, and his children and grandchildren are not as unreasonable as the Shen family, seeing Lu Yang's frightened appearance, he quickly led her in, and untied the hemp rope that bound her hands.

Lu Yang didn't dare to delay, and after thanking the man in front of him, he gestured again and again to write.

This person's name is Shen Rong, and he is the youngest son of Lao Xiucai, who has just won the championship this year.

He saw that Lu Yang's face was eager, so he led her into the study.

Lao Xiucai's family has a large population, and life is tight, there is only this study room in the family, which is shared by the whole family, and only there is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone that they regard as a treasure in the study.

Lu Yang saw that he cautiously took out the square inkstone from the inkstone box, put it on the bookcase, and added some water to the inkstone pool from the ceramic flower and bird water bowl placed on the desk.

After Shen Rong finished studying the ink, he also saw that Lu Yang was too short to reach the bookcase, even if he carried her to the comb back chair in front of the bookcase, he couldn't use it, so he thoughtfully put the inkstone on a square stool.

took the paper again, thinking that Lu Yang was young and couldn't use a soft pen, so he picked out a hard pen from the pen holder, picked up the ink, and handed it to Lu Yang with all his might.

Shen Rong's action can be said to be extremely careful and cherished, but he made Lu Yang, who was waiting on the side, anxious and half dead.

In this time and space, it's really troublesome to be dumb.

She took the pen, hurriedly waved it, and went into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, but was kidnapped by Shen Baozhu and Sun Mazi, and ran back to Shen's house and found that the old woman was not at home, she must have gone to the mountains to find her own things to write out, and asked him to help find the old woman.

Shen Rong looked at it, it was a little unbelievable, he also noticed that Lu Yang was not only unable to speak, but also seemed to have a problem with his ears, and after asking Lu Yang and getting no response, he also wrote a word to raise the doubts in his heart.

Lu Yang wrote: "I suddenly lost my ears a few days ago, and please don't be surprised by the rudeness. ”

Shen Rong's eyes were full of sympathy, he had long heard Shen Baoshan say about Lu Yang, she was only five years old when she came to Guyu Village, she was already good at writing, and she was clearly organized, and she knew that the tutor was very good at a glance, but I was afraid that even if the family was not a scholarly family, it must be a solid family.

It's just that her little doll appeared outside Guyu Village inexplicably, and was picked up by the old woman, which is unusual in itself, and there is Shen Jizhong who went to Datong Mansion and was beaten out, Shen Laoxiu is even more convinced that Lu Yang was abandoned by his family because of his dumb illness, and he warned his family not to get involved in Shen Baoshan's family affairs.

That Ye is not a good person, she always lets this little girl do this and that every day, she can't be like other children in the village, and she can still play with children of the same age in the slack time.

The children in the village went down to the river to fish, climbed trees to dig birds' nests, and were naughty and mischievous.

Before Shen Rong, he had seen Lu Yang washing clothes by the river, such a small person, it was a little higher than a wooden barrel, washing a bucket of clothes, but the person was almost washed away by the water, fortunately, an aunt on the side pulled her in time, otherwise I really don't know what would happen.

She was also beaten and scolded by the Ye family because she lost a piece of clothing, and the high cursing was heard by the whole village.

Only the uninformed woman of the Ye family can teach a vicious granddaughter like Shen Baozhu.

Troubled thoughts flashed, but only in an instant.

Shen Rong didn't mean to sit idly by, but asked Lu Yang to wait, let him find a few things first, and then go into the mountain together to save people.

Lu Yang nodded gratefully, and waited anxiously for a moment before Shen Rong appeared, followed by Shen Baoshan.

It turned out that when Shen Baoshan got up at night, he heard the movement and asked, only then did he know that the old woman might have had an accident in the mountain, Lu Yang was still waiting in the study, he heard Shen Rong say that he wanted to go into the mountain with Lu Yang to find someone, and immediately followed, and he wanted to go with the two of them.

Shen Rong carried a bundle of hemp rope, held a firewood knife in one hand, and led the way with a torch in the other.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong tonight, and the light of the torches could barely illuminate the path under the feet of the three of them.

On the way to the mountain, as soon as Shen Rong and Shen Baoshan told the matter, Shen Baoshan suddenly jumped up in anger, threatening to settle accounts with Sun Mazi, and was annoyed that the fourth sister had a bad heart, and actually united with outsiders to harm Lu Yang, what did she want to do.

Shen Rong didn't know what to do, so he naturally couldn't guess Shen Baozhu and Sun Mazi's intentions, so he didn't answer his words.

The night in the mountains was not quiet, not only was there the whining of the wind, but there also seemed to be a wild beast roaring, which frightened Shen Baoshan's legs and stomach a little, and his heart was also up and down.

He turned his head sideways to look at Lu Yang, and with the torch in Shen Rong's hand, he could see that the corners of her lips, which were naturally slightly raised, showed a resolute expression, so he also secretly cheered himself up in his heart, held his small chest, and squeezed out the trace of fear from his mind.

I didn't see the old woman all the way, and Lu Yang's heart became more and more panicked.

She guided Shen Baoshan and Shen Rong to the steep slope, saw the traces of Shen Baozhu rolling out with a stone, and anxiously pointed it out to them.

Shen Rong shouted loudly down the slope, and Lu Yang saw that he shouted for a while without showing that someone had responded, and his heart was even more uneasy, and he gestured with his hands to go down to find it.

Seeing this, Shen Baoshan hurriedly tied one end of the rope to a big tree on the side of the road, and threw the rest down the steep slope.

Shen Rong was going to go down alone to find it and let the two children wait on it, but Lu Yang had to be with him, and the two big and round apricot eyes looked at him with such watery pleading, which made him very soft-hearted and had no resistance at all, so he had to let Shen Baoshan stay on it and watch, in case there was any situation, he could also support the strain, and then carried Lu Yang on his back, held the torch to her, grabbed the knot tied on the rope, and climbed down the mountain step by step.

Lu Yang grabbed the clothes on Shen Rong's chest tightly with one arm, and held a torch with the other arm to illuminate Shen Rong.

No, no, it must have been a mistake.

Lu Yang comforted himself like this, but his body couldn't help but start trembling.

She mustered up her courage and shone the torch down the slope.

There was a distinctly different mess from the rest of the place, the snow had been sunken deeply, revealing the tenacious weeds and gravel inside, especially a large stone stood out, but even more striking was the large pool of blood frozen into ice on the stone.

Shen Rong also saw it, and he, like Lu Yang, smelled the thick smell of blood wafting in the air.

He exclaimed, sped up his speed and went down to the bottom of the slope, stepped on the snow next to the big stone before putting Lu Yang down, took the torch in Lu Yang's hand, looked around, and couldn't help but tighten his scalp, his breathing suddenly became short, and his body involuntarily trembled.
