Wang Xiaoli followed Wang Xue, Li Hao and others to shake off the enemy and return to her residence along the mountain path. That night, Wang Xiaoli and Wang Xue lived in the same house, and the mother and daughter were separated for many days. Wang Xue asked about what happened after her mother was taken captive, and Wang Xiaoli only said that she was locked up in the firewood room after her hands were tied, but Yu Wang Liqiang avoided talking about it. Wang Xue faintly felt that her mother and Wang Liqiang seemed to have a relationship, but she didn't bother to find out the root cause, her mother's return was great news, as for other trivial matters, no matter which was right or wrong, she didn't care about it at this time.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yue returned from collecting medicine in the mountains, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Wu Tian say that he fought Wang Liqiang and others last night and successfully rescued Wang Xiaoli. Liu Yue was taken aback, thinking to himself what kind of character Wang Liqiang is, it is a great luck that you were not captured by him, and you even rescued people from him, it was really a big defeat that Wang Liqiang had never had since his debut. At that moment, Li Hao and others were called over, carefully examined the injuries on their bodies, and saw that everyone was safe, so he was relieved. Wang Xue took her mother's hand, walked to Liu Yue's side, and introduced the two to each other. Liu Yue smiled and got up, arching his hand to express his admiration. Wang Xiaoli only said a few polite words, looking quite embarrassed and hesitant. Liu Yue has a cheerful temperament and does not think it is resentful. Wang Xue saw that her mother's expression was different, and her heart was full of feelings: Mom only said that after being rescued by them, she had to send him to the fence, but she didn't know that I had a close relationship with Senior Brother Liu, and everyone never treated me as an outsider, so I had to explain to her after returning to the room.

Zhang Guanhua said to Li Hao: "This is for you." "Pick up the jar of poisoned water that you won last night from behind. Li Hao took it lightly and went to the pharmacy with Bu Ziyi to study it carefully.

In the afternoon, Zhang Guanhua went down the mountain to buy daily necessities. According to his itinerary, he could only come back until the sun set, but in less than an hour, Zhang Guanhua returned empty-handed. As soon as they entered the front yard, they shouted, "Something's wrong, there's an accident!" Everyone heard the sound and walked out of the house. I saw Zhang Guanhua standing in the courtyard covered in sweat, obviously rushing back from outside. Wu Tian originally asked Zhang Guanhua to help buy some pears to eat, but when he saw that he was empty-handed and didn't buy anything, he frowned and shouted: "What's wrong, could it be that the fruit shop is on fire?" Zhang Guanhua was already out of breath, and said: "Although there was no fire, but the fruit shop was closed today, I heard that the boss's family was doing white things, and this pear couldn't be bought today." Wu Tian sighed: "Okay, then buy it next time." Zhang Guanhua nodded apologetically, suddenly thought of something, shook his head and said, "No, no, what I want to say is not this." Wu Tian, don't interrupt. Liu Yue said softly: "Don't worry, Guanhua, first pant evenly." Zhang Guanhua closed his eyes, exhaled a few times, opened his eyes and said: "I saw that the fruit shop was closed, so I wanted to continue to go to buy rice and noodles, and I didn't want to be blocked by someone as soon as I took two steps." ”

Li Hao exclaimed: "Is it Wang Liqiang?" Bu Ziyi said: "Could it be butterflies?" Zhang Guanhua only said lightly: "It's a school idiot!" Li Hao and Bu Ziyi glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts: It's just a school idiot, and what kind of big deal can it be. After Wang Xiaoli was taken into captivity, she took a lot of care of the school idiot, and when she heard that the school idiot had something, she was busy asking questions.

Zhang Guanhua said: "The student idiot was afraid of being seen by others, so he wore a big hat on his head and only hurried in front of me. He said that Wang Taijiao sent a message to the butterfly, saying that the owner of the rice shop would go out of the town tomorrow night to buy goods, and if the Liangshan Gang was interested, he could take the opportunity to cut it off, and the rice could be divided into three or seven parts. The idiot knew that we were used to being chivalrous, so he revealed the news to us, hoping that we would help the owner of the rice shop. He's really good-hearted. Bu Ziyi said hatefully: "This Wang Liqiang has a skill, what is not good, he wants to do something." Senior brother, let's get rid of him. Liu Yue shook his head and said: "More things are better than less, I think it's better for us not to mess with him." Bu Ziyi didn't expect Liu Yue to say this, seeing his lukewarm attitude, he was disappointed in his heart.

Li Hao said: "Wang Liqiang is not in a hurry to deal with it at the moment, but we want to help the owner of the rice shop." "The owner of the rice shop is kind and respected, Zhang Guanhua and others went to the rice shop to buy rice, he gave a lot of discounts, at this time he was in danger, Li Hao and others said that they would go to help. What's more, Li Hao is already loyal, since this kind of thing has happened, he can't ignore it. Zhang Guanhua said: "I have been to the rice shop, but the shop guy said that the boss went out of town to buy goods and would come back tomorrow night." I think it was the idiot who met me in a hurry, and he was anxious, and said that 'buying back' was 'buying goods out of town'. Li Hao said thoughtfully: "It may also be that Wang Taijiao got the wrong news, or the idiot was overhearing and didn't dare to approach, and he heard the news wrong." Anyway, we'll have to escort tomorrow night. As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yue and said, "Senior brother, how about you go with us tomorrow night, and let us see your tricks." Liu Yue smiled faintly and said, "It's just a few little thieves, you can deal with it." I'm not going to join in the fun with you. After saying that, he slowly went back to his room.

Seeing Liu Yue's indifferent attitude, Bu Ziyi had a hot blood in his chest, and stopped in front of Liu Yue and said loudly: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you! We haven't seen each other for many years, why are you so ...... now? Weakness and fear. When he said the last four words, his voice was already thin to that of a mosquito and a fly. Liu Yue had never thought of this, but at this moment, when he saw Bu Ziyi suddenly like this, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and he only felt dazed for a while. Li Hao pulled Bu Ziyi aside and said, "Senior brother went out to collect medicine, he hasn't slept well for two days, and he needs to rest now." We're just going to deal with a few bandits from the Liangshan Gang tomorrow night, so why bother Senior Brother! Your words 'weak and afraid of things' are too much. Bu Ziyi has always admired Liu Yue, and Shicai's words were too radical just to see the impulsive act of the admired person's slightly decadent and enthusiastic surge, so he only nodded slightly to apologize at the moment.

That night, after everyone had eaten a full meal, they went back to their rooms and went to sleep, and the next morning, they set out on their journey. The owner of the rice shop often detours from the back mountain to buy goods out of the town, first, the terrain of the back mountain is flat and convenient for mule carts to walk, and secondly, the mountain Yifeng is far away from the back mountain, and it can also be kept away from the bandits as far as possible. As for the bandits of the Liangshan Gang who had already informed Lihutang of his itinerary, it was a fact that this shrewd rice shop owner could never have dreamed of.

It's just that this makes Wang Xue and others miserable. If the owner of the rice shop returns from the front of the town, Wang Xue and Li Hao can rush through a few small roads in the town, and it is too early to set off after lunch. However, the boss detoured from the back mountain, and if Wang Xue and others wanted to take over the escort, they had to climb over two hills to arrive.

Everyone went down the mountain, crossed the path next to the town, and went over the hill to the back gate of the town. Wang Xiaoli suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute." Li Hao hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" Wang Xiaoli said: "In the past few days when I was taken captive, the idiot has taken care of me. But do you think, will the rice shop boss really go back through the back door, he will find another way this time, and it is not impossible to come back through the front door?" Li Hao frowned slightly, thinking: What she said is indeed reasonable, although we know that the rice shop boss only goes out of town from the back door every time, but he himself has never said that he only goes through the back door, this time he has other ideas, and it is indeed possible to go to the front door;

I only heard Wang Xiaoli say: "Wang Xue, Bu Ziyi, you two go to the front door with me, and the others continue to go to the back door to escort as originally planned. Bu Ziyi remembered that she was an elder, and it was inconvenient to disobey her words, not to mention that the plan she said of "dividing the soldiers into two roads" was also feasible, seeing that she turned around and ran to the front door, she didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so she followed closely behind Wang Xue. Li Hao saw the three of her walking away, so he took Zhang Guanhua and Wu Tian to the back door.

Wang Xue followed her mother, turned two side streets, and only needed to pass through one more market to reach the front door. Wang Xiaoli stood on the corner of the street and hesitated slightly, then turned around and walked towards the hill behind the market. Wang Xue pointed to the market and shouted: "Mom, go here to the front door!" Wang Xiaoli said: "There are many people in the market, I am afraid that our whereabouts will be leaked, let's go here to hide." Bu Ziyi followed closely behind, seeing that Wang Xue's mother was so cautious, she admired her so much.

The shade of the trees on the hill was very cool, and Wang Xue knew that in less than half an hour, she would be able to reach the front door, so she slowed down and took the opportunity to take advantage of the coolness. Bu Ziyi also stopped and rested. Wang Xiaoli took out a handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped the beads of sweat for Bu Ziyi. Bu Ziyi smiled: "Thank you, Auntie, I'll come by myself." He took the handkerchief from Wang Xiaoli's hand. Wang Xiaoli took out a slender rope and handed it to Bu Ziyi, saying, "Help Auntie get it." Bu Ziyi hummed, took the rope in his hand, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Wang Xiaoli's face change, and he carried the Wang family's fist method in his hand, and hit him head-on. Bu Ziyi was shocked, she never expected this kind mother to suddenly use force, and she was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the left, and finally her kung fu was not weak and her reaction was fast enough to dodge this swift punch. Bu Ziyi didn't wait to stand firm, and exclaimed Auntie. Wang Xiaoli didn't say anything, her right arm shook slightly, and she punched again. Bu Ziyi hurriedly threw the rope handkerchief to the ground, and he had to resist with all his luck. But Wang Xiaoli's martial arts are much higher than hers, and she suddenly took the lead. Although Bu Ziyi reacted quickly, after all, he was a moment late, and his jaw was hit squarely, and his mind was dizzy, and he was about to fall to the ground. Wang Xiaoli knew that her martial arts were not low, but she was afraid that one punch might not be able to stun her, so she immediately took advantage of the situation to punch again. Bu Ziyi's eyes darkened, and she lost consciousness and fainted to the ground.

This time it changed, Wang Xue got up and exclaimed, "Mom, what are you doing!" Wang Xiaoli picked up the rope on the ground, tied Bu Ziyi's hands behind her back, and shouted: "Don't talk too much!" Wang Xue saw that her mother's eyes were fierce, as if she had changed people, she was afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to speak for a while. Wang Xiaoli took out another long rope, tied Bu Ziyi's feet, carried them on her shoulders, and said, "Follow me." Wang Xue asked, "Where are you going?" Wang Xiaoli said coldly: "Lihutang." Wang Xue was shocked when she heard this, if she hadn't seen her mother's resolute attitude, she really thought that she had heard it wrong. Wang Xiaoli said: "When you arrive at Lihu Hall, my mother is explaining to you, you don't have to ask more now." Wang Xue thought that if she arrived at Lihu Hall, how could the mother and daughter still have their lives, so she stopped in front of Wang Xiaoli desperately at the moment, and shouted loudly: "Mom, you can't go, we finally escaped from them, how can we ......" Wang Xiaoli interrupted her words and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, follow me!" Wang Xue never dared to disobey her mother, but at this time, the matter was urgent, and she couldn't take care of these, so she shook her body and stopped in front of Wang Xiaoli, and said: " Mom, what are we going to do in Lihutang, you make it clear, otherwise your daughter won't go with you anyway!"

Wang Xiaoli saw that her daughter's eyes were red and swollen, and she was almost in tears, her heart softened, and she sighed: "Okay, I'll explain it to you clearly." He put Bu Ziyi under the tree and sighed in a low voice: "In fact, the real bane is not Wang Liqiang, but myself." Although our Wang family is not as disciple as Zhenwumen, the Wang family's boxing is fierce and strong, which is also convincing. After looking up at the sky for a while, he lowered his head and asked, "How long have we been running around?" Wang Xue replied, "Ten years." Wang Xiaoli asked again: "What about the family?" Wang Xue felt a pain in her heart and said softly: "It's all gone in that earthquake." Wang Xiaoli's eyes turned red, and then asked: "How much do you remember about the events before the earthquake?" Wang Xue lowered her head and pondered, remembering that there was indeed a major earthquake in her home when she was a child, and she hid under the table and was buried by the ruins of the house beams until her mother rescued her, when she was only three years old. He muttered at the moment: "Before the age of three, I only remember my father squatting beside me, holding my little fist and gently hitting the stump, that apprentice...... The male apprentice who was a few years older than me was watched by my father and smiled stupidly at me. Wang Xue recalled the interesting stories of her childhood, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. But I heard Wang Xiaoli say: "He is not an apprentice, he is the son of me and your father, and your biological brother." Wang Xue snorted and thought, "Whether it's an apprentice or a brother, they will all sleep underground with their father at this time." ”

Wang Xiaoli said in a low voice: "I came back from outside that day, and I was startled as soon as I walked into the town: there were broken walls and ruins everywhere in front of me, and there were corpses paralyzed on the ground, adults were messily turning over the ruins to save people, and children were sitting on the ground crying...... "Wang Xue heard her mother's voice tremble, knowing that the earthquake was really terrifying, she held her mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, don't you think about it, it's all over, isn't it?" Wang Xiaoli spit out deeply, finally suppressed her emotions, and said softly: " When I walked down the mountain that day, there was a real rumbling under my feet, and I thought it was a nearby landslide, but I didn't expect it to be an earthquake. I hurried home, and before I could enter the door, I saw in the distance that all the houses were in ruins. I knew that my family must have been at home at this time, and it was dark in front of me, and I almost passed out. As I approached the ruins, I was rummaging through my family when I heard a baby crying from under the rubble in the back room. ”

Wang Xue smiled: "It's me, I knew you were coming, so I cried to you and asked you to save me." Wang Xiaoli smiled bitterly: "Your cry is very weak, but I still heard it, I ran to the back room and desperately turned over the bricks and wood, until my fingers were bleeding, and finally found you." Wang Xue was moved, shed tears, and called Mom. Wang Xiaoli said: "At that time, you were so frightened that your little face turned white, but fortunately you were not injured. After rescuing you, I was no longer able to save others, but fortunately a few neighbors soon came to help save people. Everyone went from the sun to the sunset, and finally found your already angry father under the ruins. Wang Xueqi said: "Is it only my father, what about his apprentice, I mean, my brother?" Wang Xiaoli said: "I didn't find it, and the neighbors said that he was probably dead." ”

Wang Xue shouted, "Most of them are dead, maybe he is not dead!" Thinking that he might have an older brother still alive, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to go home to look for it. Wang Xiaoli said: "I really thought so at that time, so I begged my neighbor to look for it again, and the neighbor turned over the ruins several times, but he really didn't find him." Wang Xue exclaimed: "This is strange!" Wang Xiaoli said this, her face showed a painful look, and she said gloomily: "After burying your father, we lived near home for two more years. I think your brother may still be alive, or maybe he happened to be out playing when the earthquake struck, or maybe he was rescued from the rubble, but we don't know. So I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find him. Later, I thought that he was young and ignorant, and he might have gone to some other city or country in a daze. So I took you around to find your brother. Wang Xue suddenly realized that she had asked her mother many times why she would rather wander in the open than stay in one place for a long time, and her mother always avoided answering, and at this moment she knew that her mother was looking for her lost son. I only heard Wang Xiaoli say slowly: "At that time, you were still young and couldn't help me, if you told you about your brother, it would only increase your sadness." I also know that the chances of finding him are slim, but I have no other way, he is my own child like you, I want to reunite my family so much, I can't lose you no matter what!"

Wang Xue said in a low voice: "But Mom, brother, he may indeed die in the earthquake, isn't it?" Wang Xiaoli shook her head and said, "No, he is still alive!" Wang Xue asked: "How do you know?" Wang Xiaoli said: "Because I am a mother, you will understand me when you become a mother in the future." He is my son, and I know he is alive. Wang Xue didn't seem to understand the last sentence, but said that her mother was overworked and missed her brother so much that she hurt her heart, so she said softly: "Mom, you're tired, let's go back and rest for a while." Wang Xiaoli was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "But this year, I finally found my son!"

Wang Xue exclaimed, held her mother's hands tightly, and said slowly: "Have you found your brother?" Thinking that he still had a relative in this world, his heart was ecstatic, and his body trembled a little unconsciously. Seeing that her mother stopped talking, she hurriedly asked, "Where is my brother, how is he doing, and was he injured that day?" Wang Xiaoli didn't answer, just looked at Bu Ziyi with a sideways face. Wang Xue's heart moved, and she was shocked, and shouted hoarsely: "Impossible! Mom, this is impossible! You must have recognized the wrong person! He, he ......" He almost fainted when he couldn't lift it in one breath, took a deep breath and said: "He wanted to kill me a few days ago, how could he be my brother?" Wang Xiaoli sighed: "Your brother's original name was Wang Yang, and Wang Liqiang was the name he later gave himself." ”

Wang Xue suddenly heard her mother talk about this, and she was really like falling into a fog, and her heart was chaotic and dazed. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Since he is my brother, why is he chasing and killing us?" Wang Xiaoli was about to answer, when she suddenly heard Bu Ziyi say: "He must have complained that your mother didn't protect him back then." It is not uncommon for a person like him to be angry with others. You are a man of Habhamun, and he hates you more than flesh and blood. Bu Ziyi is a few years older than Wang Xue, and she knows Wang Liqiang very well, listening to Wang Xiaoli tell the past as a bystander, her heart is much clearer than Wang Xue.

Wang Xiaoli smiled: "It turns out that you woke up a long time ago, child, did Auntie hurt you just now?" Bu Ziyi snorted, turned her face to the side, and ignored her. Wang Xue saw Bu Ziyi's face, and her heart was clear, and she exclaimed: "Mom, since Wang Liqiang refuses to recognize us, it is because he is indifferent and ruthless. And how can you bear to give her to Wang Liqiang as a condition for the recognition of mother and son? She is my senior sister!" Wang Xiaoli said coldly: "Family reunion is more important than anything else. Wang Xue shouted: "How can flesh and blood family affection be traded?" Wang Xiaoli's face changed slightly, and she shouted in a low voice: "Family reunion is more important than anything else!" walked to Bu Ziyi's side and whispered: "Child, maybe Auntie is sorry for you, but I can't help it." You know how much Wang Yang loves you, and he won't wronged you. Bu Ziyi blushed, still ignoring her. Wang Xiaoli carried Qi Ziyi and walked in the direction of Lihu Hall. Wang Xue shouted, "Mom, don't be like this!" Wang Xiaoli just ignored it. Wang Xue didn't know what to do for a while, and seeing that Wang Xiaoli had reached the end of the mountain road, she had to catch up quickly.
