"Maomao, Maomao! Grandpa is back, come out quickly!Maomao?" Before Boss Zhang entered the house, he shouted loudly.

Boss Zhang shouted several times but didn't hear an answer, so he walked to the cellar and lifted the wooden cover. I saw a small figure lying on the pile of sweet potatoes, and snoring from time to time. Boss Zhang smiled with relief when he saw this, and did not bother Zhang Genliu again. After a stick of incense, the meal was already on the table, and Boss Zhang called Zhang Gen to stay out to eat.

"Grandpa, you're back!" Zhang Genliu rubbed his sleepy eyes and said vaguely.

"Yes, come, eat!" Boss Zhang said as he ate by himself, as if he was in a hurry.

"Then this year's beast tide has receded, and you can have a good winter!" Zhang Genliu said heartlessly, picking up a piece of steamed pork and stuffing it into his mouth.

"The beast tide has receded, but Lord Zhang asked everyone to go to the walled wall tonight to watch the night, and he said that he had a bad premonition! You, continue to sleep in the cellar tonight!" Boss Zhang said vaguely while gobbling up food.

"Do you still have to be on night?" Zhang Genliu stopped to chew and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, but it shouldn't be a big deal, the beast tide has receded! You, just sleep in the cellar with peace of mind, remember to bring the quilt! Duty at night is an adult's business, you don't have to worry about it!" Boss Zhang said as he said, his hands and mouth never stopped, and most of the day's fighting made him hungry.

"No, grandpa, have you ever encountered this situation in previous years? Since it was said by Master Zhang, it must be true, something must happen!" Zhang Genliu was completely immersed in thought, and forgot to chew the food in his cheeks.

"No, I've never heard that the beast tide will come back when it recedes, maybe Master Zhang ......" Boss Zhang originally wanted to slander a few words, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, he is the person he respects.

"What if? If the beast tide really comes back and the wall is breached, what should we do? No, we have to think about the way back!" Zhang Genliu's way of thinking has always been more flexible.

Even Boss Zhang, who has lived for most of his life, admits this.

"In that case, the old well of Widow Zhang's house at the back of the village is relatively deep. There is also a secret passage leading directly to the poisonous fog stream behind the village, which few people in the village know. I'll send you over later!" said Boss Zhang, who thought for a moment.

"Oh......" Zhang Genliu looked at his grandfather with a smile, making Boss Zhang's face red and blue.

In the end, he could only put on an expression that he thought was vicious, and said, "Eat!"

After eating, the grandfather and grandson hurriedly packed up some dry food and went out. Widow Zhang's house is not far from Mr. Zhang's family, and there are a few cottages in the house. The two soon came to the window of Widow Zhang's house.

Boss Zhang learned a few cat meows as usual, and then there were no other movements. Zhang Genliu just wanted to say something, but was covered by Boss Zhang. I saw that the lights in the house went out quickly, and then Zhang Genliu saw Widow Zhang's door open a crack silently by the moonlight.

A woman's head poked out of the crack in the door, and her eyes looked directly at Boss Zhang. It seemed to have been done a thousand times before it seemed so mellow and silent.

Boss Zhang didn't speak, and pulled Zhang Genliu directly into Widow Zhang's house. When Widow Zhang saw Boss Zhang followed by Zhang Genliu, her face suddenly fell. Reluctantly, she lit the oil lamp again.

Zhang Genliu was a big ghost, and when he saw that the scene was very embarrassing, he shouted with a smile: "Sister Tian, Genliu is polite!"

"How do you know that my original surname is Tian? Why do you tell your child everything!" Widow Zhang was stunned at Zhang Gen for a moment, and then glanced at Boss Zhang.

"This, this ......" Boss Zhang didn't hold back a word for a long time.

"My sister is angry, I only know my sister's surname is Tian, and I don't know anything else. It's the first time I've come to my sister's house!" Zhang Genliu saw that Boss Zhang's face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word of defense, so he quickly explained with a smile.

"I really don't know?" asked Widow Zhang, squinting her eyes.

"I really don't know!" Zhang Genliu immediately put away his smile and replied solemnly.

"Who told you to shout 'sister, sister', you must know how many years older than your mother!" Widow Zhang put away her cannibalistic eyes, as if she didn't care.

"I thought my sister was only seventeen or eighteen! How do you maintain yourself at such a young age?" asked Zhang Genliu, who seemed to be surprised.

"Poof...... Hehe......" Widow Zhang heard this, and she couldn't stop laughing.

"Xiao Tian, I'm here for business! This year's beast tide has receded, but Master Zhang said that he feels that there is a greater danger! So, I want to hide Mao Mao in your well, and you also know that this kid is ......" Boss Zhang explained his intention seriously, but the latter words were not said.

"I know what you said, I was also in the logistics team at the time, but will the beast tide really come back?" Speaking of business, Widow Zhang also immediately became serious.

"Whether it's true or not, we can't care less, and we can't risk Maomao!" said Boss Zhang with a solemn face.

"Well, then send him down now, time is running out, I guess the assembly bell will ring soon!Have you brought all the dry food and water?" said Widow Zhang, and prepared to open the kitchen door, because the ancient well was in the kitchen cubicle.

"I only brought one day's dry food, nothing else!" replied Boss Zhang.

"Look at you, since you want to prepare, be more prepared!" Widow Zhang said angrily.

Then he found some dry food bags in his kitchen, and took a few clothes, ropes, daggers, etc., and then nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Genliu, who was next to him, watched a series of actions of these two people, coupled with their previous conversation, and felt that a lot of things had been hidden. As a result, a sense of foreboding arose in my heart, and if I didn't ask it now, I was afraid that I would never have a chance again.

"Grandpa, how did my parents die?" Zhang Genliu finally couldn't hold back and asked abruptly.

"Who said they died?" Boss Zhang blurted out without thinking.

For a moment, there was silence in the kitchen cubicle, and a pin drop could be heard.

This can't be blamed on Boss Zhang, because of time, he is hurriedly tying a basket and preparing to send Zhang Genliu to the well. This cold question was asked, and he said that he had slipped out.

"Where are they?" asked Zhang Genliu with a calm face. But at this time, his heart was already agitated, and he guessed that his parents were probably trapped somewhere.

"What, what, where? Did I say anything just now?" Boss Zhang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and was trying his best to cover it up.

"Oh, Mao Mao just asked Xiaohu's parents next door, aren't they going to join the army! And I heard that it is a logistics supply army, which specializes in sending military rations to the front-line heavenly defenders. Seeing this embarrassing scene, Widow Zhang hurriedly made a round.

"Where are they?" Zhang Genliu asked again, his face turning cold.

It's strange to say that the two adults were completely uneasy when asked by an eight-year-old child, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Hey, didn't you say that they went to the first line of ......" Boss Zhang wanted to continue lying, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Where are they?" At this time, Zhang Genliu's face was already gloomy, and he could drip water.

Boss Zhang: "......"

Widow Zhang: "......"

"Tell me, what the hell is going on, I'm not going to do anything drastic. Zhang Genliu's face returned to calm, and he said as if he didn't care.

But the more this is the case, the more bottomless the hearts of the two people in front of them become, and the atmosphere becomes more and more solemn.

"Well, I promised them that I would never let you know about them, and they wanted you to live your life in peace. In the end, Boss Zhang really couldn't bear Zhang Genliu's questioning and said such a sentence.

"Let me guess. My parents offended very powerful people, or rather powerful forces. As a last resort, let the two of them escape with me and raise me. Their intentions are simple, and I will live my life in peace. When Zhang Genliu said these words, he couldn't take his eyes off the faces of the two.

Sure enough, both of them were surprised, and eight-year-old Zhang Genliu could guess the general situation with just a few words.

"I won't say it, I promised them ......" At this time, Boss Zhang gradually recalled the scene when Zhang Genliu's parents explained the matter, and his eyes became firm.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again by Zhang Genliu rudely. It's not that Zhang Gen is uneducated, it's the feeling that if you don't ask at the moment, you'll never have the opportunity to ask, and it's constantly churning in the bottom of my heart again.

"Grandpa, how do you know that this year's big beast tide is not a ghost behind someone's back? How do you know that Lord Zhang's sense of danger is not coming at me? Just ask, how many years has there not been such a large-scale beast tide in a small peach village? Fifty years?100 years? In previous years, there were only four or five thousand beasts in the sky, and tens of thousands of fierce beasts attacked a small village, don't you think it's strange?" Zhang Genliu said his speculations one by one, his eyes staring at Boss Zhang, waiting for his choice.
