Jiangjiang Jingfeng Mountain.

Early in the morning.

It was still overcast, and the rain was lighter than it had been in most recent days.

The road outside the house is not only difficult to see, but also muddy and difficult to walk.

It was impossible to herd the sheep, but the shepherd went out anyway.

Shepherds go to deliver goat's milk.

The special wooden cans can store the goat's milk temporarily, and it is also easy to carry and transport.

This is part of the shepherd's life and the economic origin of the shepherd's family.

The shepherd is in his proper years, and he has a good wife and children.

But fifteen years ago, he was just a destitute orphan with an unsustainable life.

His parents, like most people who should never have died early, died in those years of foreign troubles.

He survived five years on his own, and then chose to leave the village in search of a chance to survive.

A year later, he returned, and became the only shepherd in the village, and in the entire peak.

He began herding sheep near Fengshan every day and selling goat's milk in five villages.

As the flock grew, the shepherd's life grew better, and soon he had more wives and children.

Xu is that every household in the village lives next to each other, and the so-called neighbors and villagers are indifferent to each other, so when the shepherds are at their most depressed, few people in the village lend a helping hand to them.

Correspondingly, when a thriving change occurs in the shepherd's house, fortunately no one is jealous, not remembered, and no one even cares where the shepherd's first sheep come from.

Therefore, the people near Fengshan are naturally accustomed to the presence of shepherds, and many villagers who are quite decent at home are drinking the shepherd's goat milk for a long time.

They can drink fresh goat's milk almost every day, because the shepherds have been delivering goat's milk every day for more than ten years.

Goat's milk naturally has to be delivered, but there is no need to send it at the risk of life.

Especially in this strange rainy weather that is rare once in a century, no matter how alienated and weak the relationship between the villagers is, they will not want to kill people because of a can of goat's milk.

But the shepherd did not hesitate to embark on the journey of delivering goat's milk.

The shepherd's family, though worried, did not stop him from going out.

Their husband/father had said that he was repaying the favor.

Yes, pies never fall from the sky for no reason, and the first few sheep that the shepherds brought back were not unusual.

The year he left the village, he met some people, some good people.

Those good people taught him how to be self-reliant and gave him a few sheep.

Those good people don't ask for anything in return, but he is a man who understands simple truths.

That simple truth is called the grace of a drop of water, and the spring should be reciprocated.

Before he returned to the village, he inquired about the good men working in a charlatan league called the Daoyi League.

Since then, he has planned to spend the rest of his life repaying the Moral League that has given him a new life.

The shepherd is still an ordinary person, but he has an extra identity, the eyeliner of the Moral League.

On weekdays, when delivering goat milk, he is responsible for delivering the message of the Fengshan area.

In other words, when the weather is different, he doesn't go out every day to deliver milk.

But a few days ago, he received an instruction to ensure that the information is transmitted continuously in the near future.

He guessed that there might be something big happening near Fengshan, and it was closely related to the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

He also understands that the more important it is to convey information, and if there is an interruption due to this unexpected weather change, and something major is missed, even if no one blames him, he will have trouble sleeping.

What's more, when he got up to go to the toilet at midnight yesterday, he heard some strange sounds in addition to the sound of rain.

At that time, he was confused, and he could not react to the sound that was confused with the sound of rain.

When he got up in the morning, he hadn't forgotten it, and after a little thought, he guessed that it was the sound of pounding on the embankment.

What is the intention of destroying the embankment at night?

Fengshan is a higher mountain range in the southern part of the Jiangjiang Border, there are two villages in the mountain, and each family also builds houses on high places, so even if the rain is heavy, the water of the river cannot be flooded no matter how much it rises.

The dam is across the Gan River, and the destruction of the dam will have little impact on the people living in Fengshan, but it will undoubtedly make the situation worse for the people downstream!

That's all the shepherd can imagine, and he doesn't have to think too much about it, all he needs to do is get this important message out as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why he went out in the dark early in the morning.

But the shepherd could not have imagined that from the moment he stepped out of the house, he had embarked on a road of no return.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he did not regret the choice he made, only hated that he died in vain and failed to get the news out!

......

......

The shepherd died.

In the past, the people around the mountain may have been accustomed to not taking him seriously.

Now, his death will definitely be taken seriously.

Sooner or later, news of the shepherd's death will be heard.

But if it is a night day, some things are irreparable.

There are five villages in the vicinity of Fengshan, and at least four of them are concerned about the shepherd's safety.

Three of them were his wife and children.

The other is the tofu Shih Tzu in the village outside the peak mountain.

Tofu Shih Tzu and Shepherd are from the same village.

In addition, there were no dirty dealings.

It's just that when the shepherd was poor and destitute, Tofu Shih Tzu once handed him a steamed bun.

The kindness of a steamed bun is remembered by the shepherds.

Since I happened to see the tofu Shih Tzu who married to Dingzhai Village, every time the shepherd goes out to deliver goat milk, he must also send a can of tofu Shih Tzu's family.

Coincidentally, the Tofu Shih Tzu family of five also received the favor of the Moral League in the early years.

After learning what the shepherd did after delivering goat's milk, Tofu Shih Tzu also volunteered to become a secret stake of the Daoyi League.

Some time ago, Tofu Shih Tzu also received instructions, and the news must be reported every day recently.

The shepherd made a pact with Tofu Shih Tzu that he would bring information before noon every day, and if he missed the hour, he would send a warning message to the outside world!

It was late afternoon.

The lunch meal, tofu Shih Tzu, was almost hard to swallow, and the family's faces were sad.

After hastily washing the dishes and chopsticks, Tofu Shih Tzu opened the wooden window facing the mountain road.

Staring apprehensively out the window.

The whole family did not go to nap, but quietly accompanied her, waiting for the shepherd to appear.

Half a cup of tea, a cup of tea, a stick of incense, time slowly flowed.

Thinking about the shepherds, it is already unlucky......

Tofu Shih Tzu stood up and walked to the kitchen, as if to pick up vegetables.

The house where Tofu Shih Tzu lives is located on the bank of the river, with a mountain road in front of the house and a river behind the house.

This stream is a small tributary of the Gan River, the water flow is not large, few boats come and go, but there are always a few boats will go around here from time to time.

If nothing else, it's to see the information from Tofu Shih's house.

In addition to drying clothes, some fruits and vegetables will be hung on the drying pole behind the tofu Shih Tzu house.

If the fruits and vegetables are hung flat, it means that they are safe and sound, and the boats passing through here will not stop.

If these fruits and vegetables are hanging unevenly, it means that there is a message that the boatman will buy some tofu from Tofu Shih Tzu and take away the news hidden in the tofu.

If there are only three fruits and vegetables hanging out, and they are arranged in two short and one long, it is a warning sign.

The warning signal is only one interpretation, and Tofu Shih Tzu does not know the details, but he can confirm that the person who contacted her has been killed, so as a warning.

For more than ten years, Tofu Shih Tzu has never hung three fruits and vegetables outside his back house.

Now she has picked out three eggplants, two short and one long.

She took one last look out the window, and there was no one to be seen on the mountain road, except for the pouring rain.

She sighed and walked to the back of the house.

I was about to open the door, but I was shocked to see that I couldn't push it!

Plop!

When Tofu Shih Tzu realizes that danger is coming, a sharp knife has pierced her heart through the wooden door! 166 Reading Network
