He Zhongbo fled for seven or eight years, but still did not find a place to stay, Zhongbo said that he had a relative in Xiyang County, and if he couldn't do it, he would go to try to see if people were willing to take him in.

The weather on this day was a little gloomy, there were still more than 20 miles of mountain roads from Xiyang County, and the sky had darkened at this time, and it seemed that it was impossible to walk.

Zhongbo told me that the mountain roads leading to Xiyang County are so steep that they are difficult to walk during the day, and it is even more impossible to walk through them at night, so I have to find a place to rest for the night.

Although the family was defeated by my father, and I was a young master who didn't touch the mud since I was a child, I suddenly made such a huge change, where did I suffer such a toss.

It didn't take long for me to be weak, and Uncle Zhong had to carry me on his back, hoping to find a place to stay in this wilderness.

The sky was completely dark, and the two of us had not been walking long before we saw a house in front of us, with lanterns still on.

Uncle Zhong smiled at me: "Young master, hurry up, it seems to be a family in front, let's go over and get some food, stay for one night by the way, and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving, and wait until we get to Xiyang County."

"Hmm" I dragged my tired body and nodded.

At this time, Uncle Zhong put me down from behind, and he took my hand and quickened his pace.

It was an inn, small in size, with five or six houses and a large lantern hanging at the door.

Zhongbo picked up the handle and knocked it: "Is there anyone?" ”.“ Anyone? ”

After half a ring, there was a response from the hospital: "Coming, coming"

The door opened, and a head poked out of it, an old man, in his sixties, about the same age as Uncle Zhong.

"Who are you?"

Zhong Bochong smiled at the shopkeeper: "We are going to Xiyang County to find relatives, but now it is getting late, I still have a child, I want to stay with you for one night, I don't know if it can be convenient."

After listening to Uncle Zhong's words, the old man was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry! Our family! It's already full, I'm afraid there is no place to go."

As soon as he heard this, Uncle Zhong's face was full of disappointment, this inn has rules, since people are already full, it is useless for you to bother

"Thank you then"

Zhongbo took my hand and sighed helplessly, it seems that I can only light a fire tonight and spend it in the wilderness!.

"Hey! Wait" Just as we were about to leave, the door opened, and the old man bowed and walked out.

"This guest room is full, but this firewood room can still accommodate two people, I don't know if you mind."

"Don't mind, don't mind" Zhongbo agreed.

At that time, it was good for people to sleep on a place that did not leak the sky, and it was better to go to the guest room and firewood room than to light a bonfire in the wilderness and make the ground a bed, right?

The old man of the store glanced at me and said, "You listen to me first, a guest officer came yesterday, his daughter-in-law happened to die of illness in this store, these two days are waiting for the family to pull the corpse, the corpse is just parked in the firewood room, if you are not afraid, then come in and live!" It's a mess, and sleeping in a wilderness meadow isn't like that."

When I heard that there was still a corpse parked, Uncle Zhong looked at me with some embarrassment, and I nodded at him, indicating that it was okay.

The shopkeeper led us in, boiled some porridge and ate some casually, then gave us an oil lamp and took it to the firewood room.

In the dark room was an oil lamp, emitting a faint glow, through which a bed was seen facing the door, on which lay the body of a woman, covered by a cut of paper.

Although I am only a teenager, I don't have much fear of the dead.

Xu has been on the run for a long time, and he has seen a lot of scenes of corpses all over the field, and then he looks at the corpse of this woman who died of illness, naturally he doesn't feel much.

The old man of the shop brought us in, put down the oil lamp in his hand, said goodbye, and went back after resting early.

I had been running around with Uncle Zhong for a day, and now I finally had a place to live and take a break, so I naturally took off my shoes and went to bed.

After a while, I heard the sound of Zhongbo's sleeping snoring, but in this quiet night, I thought a lot in my heart.

First I thought of my mother, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the river, and then my father, who was hanged on the city gate and starved to death, I couldn't help but feel emotional.

My mother's death was indirectly caused by my father, and in a sense, although I have a grudge against my father, it is just resentment, and I never thought that my father would die too.

The old Zhang family has a lot of relatives, but when this kind of thing happens, no one is willing to help his father, and in troubled times, in order to save his life, family affection is not so important. This is the reality of human nature.

To be honest, at this moment, I miss my mother very much, I miss the dumplings my mother made for me, and I miss the clothes my mother made for me.

Thinking about the past, a trace of tiredness hit, and I also fell asleep in a daze.

"Click"

In the middle of the night, I sat up frightened by a thunderstorm, and I could hear that it was raining heavily, and after wiping a handful of white hair and fine sweat on my forehead, I went to see Zhongbo, he was still snoring and sleeping very deeply, and it was really difficult for him during this time.

"Aiming ......"

At some point, a black cat broke into the house, and its two green eyes were staring at me in the dark, staring at my hair.

I didn't dare to wake up Zhongbo, so I grabbed a lump of dirt from the side of the bed and threw it at the black cat, but it cleverly dodged it.

Finally, I thought about it for a while, after all, I also lived under someone else's roof, and even the wild cats outside were afraid of thunder and rain, so I hid in the room.

After breathing a long sigh of relief, after covering the futon, he quickly fell asleep again, after all, he had to hurry tomorrow.

"Magneta ......"

Soon after I fell asleep, I suddenly heard a noise, I thought it was the cat scurrying again, so I didn't care, and continued to sleep.

"Magneta ......"

Like the sound of paper being torn apart again, I opened my eyes in a daze, just in time to see the corpse parked not far away as if it were moving.

The black cat stood on top of the corpse, and its two green eyes were looking at me.

Although the oil lamp at the head of the bed was dim, I could never be mistaken, but the corpse parked on the bed actually moved, and it was definitely not the movement of the black cat.

At this point, the rain outside had already stopped, and I pretended to sleep, but in fact my eyes kept secretly staring at the parked corpse.

"Magneta ......"

This time I saw it clearly, and the corpse really raised one arm, like a stiff machine, and raised one hand to slide the paper quilt on its body before making a sound.

Is the dead alive? Or is she pretending to be a dead person, and we won't live in a black store!

I held my breath and poked the sleeping Zhongbo, but Zhongbo was really dedicated enough to sleep, so I chirped my mouth and turned over and continued to sleep.
