Chapter 8 (River Turmoil)
Listening to the Liu family in the pool of blood, he whispered: "Yu'er, Yu'er..." Zhang Yu put down Zhang Qing'er. Hurriedly held Liu in his arms and cried: "Mom, why are you like this, why, let Yu'er lose her parents all of a sudden, let Yu'er live in the future" Liu reached out and touched Zhang Yu's face and said: "Yu'er, you have grown up, you must find your biological parents when you have the opportunity in the future"
Zhang Yu said: "No, I only have you as a mother" Liu coughed a few times and said in a low voice: "Good boy, you have to take care of your sister-in-law, your mother went with your father..."
Zhang Yu has been "snuggling" in the arms of his parents since he was a child, and now he has lost his parents, and he sits in place crying like a fool, not knowing what to do in the future. After a long time, it seemed to have improved, and his heart was already relatively tenacious, and he wiped away his tears.
With a lot of thoughts, Zhang Yu knew that if he killed the people from the government now, sooner or later someone from the government would come to the door, and if he was caught by the government at that time, he would not survive.
As a last resort, he dug two pits overnight, buried his parents in the ground next to the village, and simply carved a wooden tablet.
Bringing the gold and the small clothes left by the Liu family, and packing up a baggage, he didn't stop doing anything, and even set fire to the corpse of the officer and soldier who had lived with him for nearly 20 years, said goodbye to his parents' grave with tears, and led Zhang Qing'er all the way south. When the neighbors in the village found out that they were trying to help fight the fire, the house had already burned to the ground.
Zhang Yu burned his home, his heart was empty, and he walked a lot of places, but he didn't know where to go and where to stay. Zhang Qing'er didn't talk as much as usual, just followed her brother around, took dry food with her when she was hungry, took it out to satisfy her hunger, and found a water source to drink when she was thirsty.
Unconsciously arrived at the lower reaches of Huainan, this day was close to noon, just walked to the edge of the river and saw a boat in front, a black and white hair shook the oars, the captain shouted: "Little brother, where to go, you have a ride" Zhang Yu did not know where to go, so he responded to the call and got on the boat.
The captain asked: "Where is the little Xianggong going", Zhang Yu said casually: "Where you sail to where you go" Although the boatman felt that the brother and sister were strange, they had seen some of the strange people who usually carried passengers, and they no longer asked, and sailed down the wind.
Fortunately, there was everything in the boat, and after getting some food, Zhang Qinger fell into her brother's arms and fell asleep in her arms.
Zhang Yu couldn't sleep, thinking about "how to live in the future, whether I should find my biological father and mother, whether the officers and soldiers will catch me, whether I have any strange feelings with my sister or not, whether to take her as my wife, my father's words and smiles, my mother's entrustment, and the smile of the fairy grandfather..."
Unconsciously fell asleep, and was in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone outside the boat shouting loudly: "Stop, you have the ability to stop, haha... Look at you and run again" As soon as Zhang Yu heard the shout, he opened his eyes, only to see the captain walk into the cabin and said in a panic: "Little Xianggong, it's not good, we have met the snitch."
Zhang Yu hurriedly asked: "Uncle Boatman, what happened" The captain hurriedly "shh
When Zhang Yu heard this, his heart was suddenly very nervous, and Zhang Qinger also woke up in the noise. Hearing the shout, he asked: "What happened to my brother" Zhang Yu smiled: "It's okay, let's go out and have a look" As he spoke, he helped Zhang Qing'er out of the cabin. I was in a trance and didn't want to be confused in the boat for a while, but it was already night.
When I looked up, I saw four or five large boats moored around, and the boats were full of figures, and there were about thirty or forty people, dressed in different clothes, each holding a torch, which almost lit up half of the sky.
Zhang Yu was looking around when he heard a yin and yang weird scolding: "What do you look at, boy, be careful of your tricks." If Zhang Yu had been placed in the past, he might have been frightened immediately, but now that his parents are dead, and his hands are stained with the blood of officers and soldiers, he is unconsciously bold, and he doesn't care.
When Zhang Qing'er heard this, she shrank into Zhang Yu's arms. I saw an old man who seemed to be the leader on the big boat, he was slightly fat but kind-eyed, wearing a blue robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and said in a rough voice: "The old man sails the boat aside" Although he couldn't hear the tone, the words he spoke seemed to be inviolable to others, and it seemed that if the captain was half slack, he would definitely die on the spot.
The captain has been walking the boat for more than ten years, and it has been calm, today it can be said that the travel is not good, and I don't know whether the gang in front of me is bandits or some other forces, I can't help but complain in my heart, and I seem to be very helpless, shaking the oars and leaning to the side.
After the boat left, Zhang Yu realized that their boat was already surrounded, and there was another boat surrounded. When the bow of the ship was about to meet with the ship on the opposite side, he suddenly heard a miserable scream "Ah" and the captain "poof" and fell into the river, and saw him flutter a few times and sink down.
Zhang Yu just reacted and was about to jump into the river to save people, but the captain was already silent. Zhang Yu understood after looking back that the thin man holding a steel knife on the opposite side slashed him while his father was not paying attention, and saw that the man killed someone and seemed to be unimpressed, and laughed strangely. He has an extremely striking scar on his face, which is very scary, and people can't help but be afraid when they look at it.
Zhang Qing'er was frightened and cried with a "wow", Zhang Yu patted her back for comfort, Scarface suddenly jumped to the bow of Zhang Yu's boat, and raised his hand to cut down without saying a word, Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment and then reacted, and his skills seemed to be extremely sensitive.
Before the knife fell, he rolled into the cabin with Zhang Qing'er in his arms, and when Scarface saw that the knife was not cut, it made Zhang Yu flash over, and he couldn't help but feel extremely surprised and said "Huh", and suddenly the whole boat shook, and he suddenly fell into the water immediately after losing his footing, shouting "help".
It turned out that Zhang Yu entered the cabin and shook the boat from side to side, which shook the scar-faced man into the water, he choked several mouthfuls of water, and his companion dropped the rope to pull him up, and the originally extremely terrifying face was even more hideous when he looked at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu knew that today's affairs might not be good, and asked Zhang Qing'er to tell her not to leave the cabin, although Zhang Qing'er was worried about her brother's safety, she knew that she couldn't help much, so she stayed in the cabin.
I only heard the fat old man mutter, "waste", and the scarred face seemed to be very jealous of his identity, for fear that he would blame him, and suddenly his frightened face turned like earth, and he begged bitterly.
Suddenly, a light and pleasant voice came into Zhang Yu's ears, "If you have the ability to catch up with me, why hurt the innocent" Zhang Yu was stunned when he heard the voice, turned to look at the other boat that was also surrounded, and saw a person standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the dress that seemed to be a scholar.
The old man first glanced at Zhang Yu a few times, and saw that he was dressed old-fashioned, and at a glance he was a peasant boy, so he didn't pay attention to the fact that his subordinates had just fallen into the water.
At the same time, he didn't look at Zhang Yu in his eyes, and he no longer paid attention to Zhang Yu. hugged the scholar and said: "The girl is invited, if the girl returns the stolen things, the old man does not care about you and lets you leave, if you want to live a few tricks with the old man, don't blame the old man for bullying the small and ruthless in his hands" The voice was fierce, and it seemed that people did not dare to disobey the will in their ears.
