Seeing the dilapidated scene in front of him, Shen Yun couldn't believe his eyes.

The gate is gone, the houses are almost all gone, and the Zhuangzi is in ruins!

Did the rebels come and ransack Zhuangzi? Or was it the evil of the immortal runes?

"Uncle Hong, Uncle Hong!" Shen Yun felt a strong sense of foreboding in his heart, and hurriedly rushed into the Zhuangzi, shouting anxiously.

After a while, a gray-haired head poked out from behind a broken wall.

"Yes...... Brother Yun?"

The voice was hoarse and trembling.

Shen Yun was slightly stunned, and immediately, he turned around happily and looked over: "Uncle Hong! It's me!"

"It's really Brother Yun!" Hong Bo threw the wooden stick in his hand and staggered out from behind the wall, old tears were in his eyes, "You're back!"

When Shen Yun saw him, he only felt that his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say a word—it was only less than three months, and Hong Bo seemed to be more than ten years old. The original gray hair was all white and unkempt. I don't know what I wiped on my face, but now I was washed with tears, all of it was paste, and the clothes on my body were also tattered, full of mud, and there was no background color.

"It's good to come back!" Hong Bo wiped away his tears with his sleeve and looked out of Zhuangzi happily.

He's looking for Brother Zhuzi...... Shen Yun only felt that his nose was sore, and he couldn't control it anymore, so he stepped forward and hugged the old man's waist, and cried: "Uncle Hong, only me and Tianniu are back......"

At this moment, his heart seemed to have burst the embankment. For more than two months, the pain, anger, and fear that I had been holding back in my heart...... It came out like a flood.

"Wow-" Behind the bamboo-backed basket, the sweet girl was also crying. She couldn't remember Humber at all. The reason why she cried was entirely because she heard her brother Yun crying so sadly.

Humb staggered. His lips trembled, and he couldn't speak at all, so he could only hug Shen Yun hard. Two lines of old tears burst out of his eyes again.

However, after Shen Yun vented, he felt that the old man's body had been trembling, so he hurriedly stopped crying, and comforted him with crying: "Uncle Hong, we, and Brother Zhuzi have been separated. ”

"Ah, it's gone!" Humber let out a long breath, "It's okay, it's okay, they'll be back." Then, he looked at the bamboo basket and coaxed softly, "Sweet girl, don't cry!"

Shen Yun put down the bamboo basket and picked up the sweet girl: "Tiantian, don't cry." Look, who is this?"

Sweet chick stopped crying. However, she didn't even look at Hong Bo, she turned her head directly and buried her head in Shen Yun's shoulder.

Shen Yun was very embarrassed and explained to Hong Bo: "If she has been out for a long time, she may not remember the past very well. This is the conclusion he came to after careful observation. Tianniu fled with him, except for the first two days crying to find her mother, and later, she almost never heard her mention her father and mother again. In the past, he heard the old people often say that little dolls are forgetful. It turned out to be true.

With tears in his eyes, Hong Bo nodded again and again: "It's okay." The sweet girl has been born before. Two days, it's fine. ”

Because Tianniu refused to get close to him, he couldn't come forward to hug people, so he had to lift the bamboo basket on the ground and beckon: "You have walked a long way, go back to the house to rest first." ”

Zhuangzi was originally a two-entry house, and there were two cross-courtyards in the front yard, large and small, with a total of more than 20 rooms. However, now the front yard is completely destroyed, and only half of the guest yard is left in the backyard.

Humbor now lives in that half of the courtyard.

"These are all the sins created by the immortal talisman soldiers!" After introducing the two of them into the house, Shen Bo chattered while lighting the oil bowl lamp, "After you left, a few days later, a team of messengers came from the county to collect grain, saying that it was military rations to fight the rebels. We had enough, but on the afternoon of the third day, a group of immortal runes suddenly came, asking for 3,000 loads of grain, ten cows, twenty pigs, and chickens and ducks. Zhuangzi only had a lot of fields, how could he get it? After saying a lot of good things, those immortal rune soldiers finally agreed to a three-day deadline. As soon as they left, I told everyone that Zhuangzi was in a catastrophe this time, so everyone packed up and ran for their lives. Everyone listened to me and fled overnight. Early in the morning of the third day, I also ran to the back of the mountain and hid. At noon that day, I saw smoke billowing from Zhuangzi's side in the mountains, and I was so frightened that I hid in the mountains for another three days. When he returned, Zhuangzi was destroyed. After that, the Immortal Rune soldiers came three more times. However, I was always on guard, and as soon as I saw someone on the road, I hurried to the mountain. Later, the poor master and the immortal rune soldiers never came again. ”

Shen Yun clenched his fists with hatred, and his fingertips turned white: "It's an immortal rune soldier again!"

Hong Bo poured a bowl of water for each of them: "You are also guilty of the immortal rune soldiers?" After that, he smiled bitterly, "Everyone heard that the rebels were coming, and they were so frightened that they left their homes and businesses and ran away. Who would have thought that the rebels would not have a shadow from beginning to end. It is the immortal rune soldiers who plague people. ”

The sweet girl may have just cried and was tired, and at this time, her sleepy eyes were hazy and she yawned again and again.

When Hong Bo saw it, he asked Shen Yun to put her on the wooden shelf bed by the window.

Shen Yun did as he said, and when Tianniu fell asleep, he returned to the table and sat down.

"Look I'm confused. Brother Yun, have you eaten? There is still a little sweet potato porridge in the house, I will bring it to you. Humbor said, turning and leaving.

"Humber, I've eaten it. Shen Yun was truthful. Because it was close to home, Shen Yun had made sufficient preparations yesterday, and today he broke his habit and rushed for a day. In the afternoon, on the side of the official road, he and Tianniu ate a hare that had been roasted last night, and now they don't feel hungry. The Zhuangzi was also looted, and it was the time when the grain was most precious, and he was not hungry, so what did he do with the food.

Hong Bo was worried about his children, and when he heard this, he didn't insist anymore, he came back and sat down, and asked eagerly: "Brother Yun, I'll tell you the truth, how did you get separated from the pillar?"

Shen Yun has been hesitating to tell the truth. After listening to Hong Bo's experience and seeing his earnest eyes, he gritted his teeth, and was not ready to look at the old man, and immediately told the tragic experience of staying in the empty village at night, but being slaughtered by the immortal rune soldiers in the middle of the night. At the end, he choked up and said, "Jin Gu probably didn't escape the killing. The next morning, I looked around the village and didn't see anyone else. ”

Humb sat on the bench, his body swaying. He hurriedly held on to the small square table, stabilized his figure, as if asking Shen Yun, more like self-comfort, and said in a loud voice: "They will be fine, they won't, right?"

All along, Shen Yun also thought so. Yes, he didn't hesitate, and nodded vigorously: "Master Chen is a capable person." That night, he told us to disperse, first to hide, and then to find a chance to escape. Brother Zhuzi They have long legs, run fast, and have good eyesight, so they must have run out. ”

Shen Bo took a few deep breaths one after another, got up and walked to the wooden frame bed, leaned down and looked at the sleeping little man affectionately.

After a long time, he straightened his body, walked over, and was about to kneel down in front of Shen Yun.

Where did Shen Yun dare to accept it? Hurriedly tried his best to stop the person: "Uncle Hong, what is this doing?"

"Brother Yun, you saved the sweet girl, and after a lot of difficulties, you brought her back. Great kindness, higher than the mountain, I can't repay it, I can only kowtow to you. Uncle Hong burst into tears.

Although he was extremely hopeful that the pillars and their brothers would one day return home safely, but after seeing how ferocious the immortal rune soldiers were, he knew very well in his heart how small the chances of his sons surviving! With a sweet girl, he will not be empty under his knees and no one will end up in the future.

Can this kindness not be big?

Also, Brother Yun is young, but he protects the sweet girl with all the beards and tails, I don't know how much suffering I have suffered and how much I have suffered!

Isn't it worth his prostration?

"Uncle Hong, you're going to break my life!" Shen Yun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. At that moment, his mind turned quickly, and he quickly found a reason, "Besides, Uncle Hong, I came back to wait for the hall master, and I want to trouble you again." ”

Hearing him mention Mr., Humber's attention was really diverted, and he sighed: "Sir has not been heard from all this time. After a pause, he comforted, "Sir used to be like this, and it is rare to send a reply in a year and a half. ”

"I know. The hall owner has strong martial arts and great skills, and he went to the provincial capital early, so he will definitely be able to find Brother Fu. Neither of them will be fine. Shen Yun responded.

Hong Bo knew that he must have been very tired after a day's journey with a sweet girl on his back, and besides, he had heard everything that should be inquired, so he held back the grief in his heart and arranged a place for him to live: "A few days ago, I heard that many people who fled came back, and I thought to myself, you don't know when you will come back." So, I cleaned up the hut by the bamboo forest at the back. Now in the Zhuangzi, there are only this and that hut left to live in. Brother Yun, you have always liked to be pure, so you live in that hut. ”

"Okay. Shen Yun knew the hut he was talking about. The house was on the edge of the bamboo forest, and it was also very convenient for him to go to the forest to fight boxing at night.

In this way, he lived in Zhengjiazhuang again.

The next day, Humber told him in detail about Zhuangzi's current situation:

After the tenants fled, no one has returned. Therefore, there are only one old and two young left in the Zhuangzi, a total of three;

The fields are all barren, and with the strength of the three of them, Xia Geng can only stare dryly. Besides, he was worried that once the Immortal Mansion or the Immortal Fu soldiers found out that there were people in Zhuangzi again, they would come to rob them again. Therefore, in the second half of the year, he plans to leave these fields wasted. In the coming year, if the people who went out come back, they will do agricultural work again.

As for the food and drink for the three of them, it will be enough in a year or two. Because he had made sufficient preparations early, he secretly carried the surplus grain in the Zhuangzi into the mountains and hid it.

"No one can find it there. At night, when the sweet girl sleeps, I'll take you to see it. He said with great certainty.

Shen Yun refused: "With you, why use me as a doll to worry about this?"

Hong Bo smiled: "I have old arms and legs, such a day, dry and refreshing, go into the mountains to get food, and it will be done." It had been raining heavily for several days, and I couldn't go up, so I had to eat wild vegetables. You memorize the road by heart, and in the future, if it rains or snows, you will have to go and get the food back. "If it's another baby, that's it. But Brother Yun is different, at a young age, he can not only escape from the butcher's knife of the immortal rune soldier by himself, but also bring back the sweet girl with all the beard and tail, there is simply no more capable. Brother Yun is enough to take on this heavy responsibility. Also, he has a plan in his heart: in case, he has three longs and two shorts, and he will entrust the sweet girl to Brother Yun. And the two dolls have those grains, and he can close his eyes with peace of mind.

With all that said, what else could Shen Yun say? He nodded and replied, "Okay, listen to you." ”
