The perfect ambush for the Tuba Tiger Pursuit Squad, especially the killing of the Spirit Breath Dog, made Shandu Junfeng lose the best means to chase and kill the two Dayuan teenagers.

It took more than a month for Dazhu to know that the Tuba Tiger Pursuit Team had been wiped out. This made Shandu Junfeng furious. Because of the loss of the Spirit Dog, he paid a great price.

Shandu Junfeng had to pay compensation at a cost of forty or fifty times the rent. As a result, all the cultivation resources he collected during this period of time were lost, and it was still not enough, and he had to let his second son take a lot of credit from the sect to finally make up for it.

His second son was strong in the mountains, and he didn't have any cultivation resources in his hands for the next few months. Moreover, because he failed to complete the task, his father and son were severely scolded by the deacon of Xuanyuan Sect.

Shandu Junfeng's hatred for the two Dayuan teenagers in his heart deepened. He had the decision not to kill the two Dayuan teenagers, and he would never withdraw the army. He wants to hunt and kill part of his troops, and if he does not achieve his goal, he will not give up.

Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang were very careful now when they were moving in the Bailong Mountains. Because, not every time they meet the Dazhu soldiers, they can be in a favorable terrain. With their current combat strength, every time they encounter the Dazhu soldiers, they are still a very inferior side.

On this day, they were very careful to avoid a group of Dazhu soldiers, and because of the detour, they inadvertently came to the edge of Bailong Mountain.

At this time, it is noon. In the villages outside the mountains, smoke rises from the cooking. Zhang Zhiliang looked at the smoke that gave people a sense of home, and suddenly his heart was full of melancholy. He said to Chen De: "Eh, I'm homesick now!"

Chen De looked at his companion's melancholy face, and without hesitation, he replied, "Then tonight, we will go back to Qianye Town while it is dark, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhiliang nodded and said, "Okay, I want to know how my father and mother are doing now." ”

After briefly eating some dry food, and when it was about noon, the two of them began to march in the direction of Qianye Town outside Bailong Mountain.

Because, at the mountain pass in and out of Bailong Mountain, there is a checkpoint closely guarded by Dazhu soldiers. The two did not dare to take the main road, and came out of the mountain from a place where there was no road, a more precipitous place.

Although the road was difficult, it was not difficult for them at all.

After leaving the mountain, the two continued to walk in the wilderness. Fortunately, I used to go to the wild often, and both of them had impressions of many places. Therefore, the two of them were able to discern the direction of Qianye Town.

The leg strength they had developed during this time in the mountains made them quickly approach the periphery of Qianye Town.

Seeing that the sky was still bright, they did not dare to enter the town at this time. He hid behind a bush and waited for it to get dark.

When night fell, and with their eyesight, they could only vaguely see the scenery within three or four feet, and the two came out of hiding and walked towards the town. When there are Dazhu soldiers in front, they often find the target before the opponent, so they can avoid the Dazhu soldiers in time.

walked so carefully for more than half an hour, and then touched the gate of Zhang Zhiliang's house.

When the two of them pushed open the hidden door, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

When he entered the front yard, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, the excitement and eagerness of Zhang Zhiliang to return home dissipated at once.

Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang saw that the whole house was dark and rumbling, without a single light, quietly, without a sound.

And at this time in the past, the Zhang family was the warmest time.

After dinner, the family will sit together and chat, some will take a bath, and some will continue the work that has not been done during the day under the light. Sometimes there are neighbors who come to visit the door, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang greet them together.

In the dim light, the room was a mess: furniture that had fallen on the floor, many objects that had fallen on the ground. It should be that after the accident, no one cleaned up the house.

Zhang Zhiliang's brain was buzzing, his heart was very chaotic, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Chen De saw that there was a light next door, had an idea, and said to Zhang Zhiliang: "Ah Liang, there is no one at home now, let's go to the neighbor's house next door and ask." ”

The two quietly came out of the backyard and went to the back door of the house next door.

Zhang Zhiliang went up and knocked on the door, and after patting for a long time, he heard movement in the house, and then, someone asked, "Who is knocking on the door?" Zhang Zhiliang replied: "I'm Ah Liang!" When the people inside heard this, they quickly opened the door.

It was the eldest son of the Li family who opened the door.

After closing the door, he shouted into the house, "Dad, someone is looking for you." And he took them with them and went to the hall. Uncle Li was waiting in the hall.

As soon as he saw Zhang Zhiliang come in, Uncle Li said, "Eh, the third boy of the Zhang family, it's good to see that you're okay." Something big is going on in your family!"

Although he was prepared, Zhang Zhiliang was still shocked again. He opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Here's the thing. Uncle Li paused, and then said:

"More than 20 days ago, your sister came back from visiting someone else's house, and when she was about to arrive at the door, she met two drunken Dazhu soldiers. When those two big soldiers saw that your sister was beautiful, they did something to your sister. Your sister ran home, and the two big soldiers chased after you. In the yard of your house, your mouth is not clean, and you tear your sister's clothes. Your father and your eldest brother beat those two brutes to death with a knife and a stick with one man. At that time, there was a lot of commotion, and we could hear it in our house. ”

Chen De interjected: "And then?"

Uncle Li continued: "When the soldiers patrolling the streets heard the movement, they rushed to your house. Your father and the family went out the back door and ran to the river, where your big boat stopped. Your sister, your sister, and your second brother all moved quickly and got on the boat in time. Your mother, maybe it's because she's fat and her movements are not good. When he mixed garlic under his feet, he fell to the ground and broke his feet. Your eldest brother turned around and wanted to carry your mother to the boat, but he was caught up by the Dazhu soldiers and killed by the Dazhu soldiers. ”

Zhang Zhiliang felt that his eyes were dark, and grief welled up in his heart.

His mother was a virtuous woman who was very kind to her children and Uncle Zhang. Zhang Zhiliang loves his mother very much. His eldest brother is a good guy, and he usually takes care of and loves his brother, and there is a deep brotherhood between them.

And the father and other relatives don't know where they are now.

Everyone in the room was silent. Zhang Zhiliang, who finally recovered from his grief, had a slightly hoarse voice, and asked Uncle Li in a deep voice: "Then, then, what about my father and second brother?"

Uncle Li cleared his throat and said, "After the incident, we don't know where your father took the rest of your family to go. Later, one night, your father quietly came to our house. He just came to tell me that they had nowhere to go now, so they were staying on the boat. Your father came to my house to let me tell you the news. Your father also said that you can't stay in one place for too long if you live on a boat and float around, so you don't have to go out of your way to look for them, and you have to take care of yourself, so that you had better go to your grandmother's house in the countryside. ”

When Zhang Zhiliang heard the news of his father and other relatives, his heart calmed down. He asked, "Uncle Li, why don't my father and them go to my grandmother's house?"

Uncle Li thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that I heard your father say that your grandmother's house is small and can't accommodate so many people." ”

Chen De thought about his livelihood and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how can they live if they abandon their home and run away without their belongings?"

"In the past, Ah Liang's father used a boat to transport goods for the workshop in the town, and he could earn a lot of money. Now, you can only fish and sell it in rivers and lakes. Last time, he came to my house and heard him say that he is having a hard time now. Uncle Li said with a solemn expression.

When Zhang Zhiliang, who had been much sober, heard these words, he immediately put his hand into his arms and took out four or five silver tickets, as well as some broken silver.

He clicked it and said to Uncle Li: "These three hundred taels of silver tickets, please help Uncle Li hand them over to my father after seeing my father." The other sixty or seventy taels of silver were given to Uncle Li. ”

Uncle Li quickly waved his hand and said, "This can't be helped, how can I ask for your silver." Transfer the silver ticket to your father, as it should be. How can I collect so much money from you!"

Zhang Zhiliang was very resolute, insisted on stuffing the silver ticket and silver into Uncle Li's hands, and said: "I have been neighbors with Uncle Li for so many years, and our two families have always been very good. Uncle Li has helped my dad introduce a lot of business in the past. I just made some windfall with Ade. Now that the Dazhu soldiers have occupied our town, I think the people in the town must have a hard time. That's a little bit of my heart. ”

At this time, Chen De said, "Uncle Li, you can accept it." This silver should be used on our Dayuan people. ”

"Eh!" Uncle Li sighed deeply and said, "Thank you Ah Liang, I won't be hypocritical, eh, since Da Zhu Bing entered the town, this day has become more and more difficult." ”

Chen De asked, "Uncle Li, what's the difference from before?"

"Eh!" Uncle Li sighed again and said:

"The general of Dazhu, who is now in charge of Qianye Town, is called Shandu Junfeng, and I don't know what is crazy. First of all, all the intersections in and out of Bailong Mountain were blocked, and then the people who came out of the mountain and those who wanted to enter the mountain were arrested. Pledged to be a miner. Almost like a slave, just fed and paid very little. Most of these people are hunters, medicine pickers, woodcutters, lumberjacks, etc., and they are all people who make a living in the Bailong Mountains. After they were taken away, their families were scolded, and they had enough money to feed their families. ”

Uncle Li sighed softly again, and then said:

"As a result, a lot of families in the town are having a hard time right now. Moreover, because there are no people entering the mountain, many shops that rely on mountain goods business have also been unlucky. There is basically no business to do, no goods can be received, and merchants from other places do not do business here. Now we are all sitting and eating empty mountains! Our family is in the mountain goods business, and we open the door every day to do business, but there is no business to do every day! It's just that we don't open a store, and we don't have anything else to do, so we just do it. ”

Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang couldn't help frowning when they heard these words. They vaguely guessed that this situation seemed to have something to do with them.

At this time, the eldest son of the Li family spoke: "The most annoying thing is that some Dayuan people actually helped the Dazhu soldiers to bully and enslave our Dayuan people. ”

Zhang Zhiliang asked, "Brother Li, who are they?"

"Those Black Dragons. The eldest son of the Li family said angrily. "The people of the Black Dragon Gang helped the Dazhu military service to make the Dayuan people open mines, and acted as guides, detained, interrogated, and tortured the Dayuan people for the Dazhu soldiers, and they were ruthless to the Dayuan people. ”

Hearing this, Chen De remembered the oath he had made. He glanced at Zhang Zhiliang, Zhang Zhiliang happened to be looking at Chen De, and it seemed that he also had thoughts in his heart.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Li saw that the two of them had shown a tired look, so he said to the two: "The two little brothers look very sleepy, let's rest today." Then, you two can stay at my house for a few more days."

Then, let the eldest son take the two to a room to rest.

After all, Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang had walked all day, and by this time they were already very tired, they hadn't spent the night in the house for a long time, and they hadn't slept in the bed for a long time.
