Chapter 6: Escaping Death

As mentioned last time, Ling'er saw that the gang of thieves was slowly walking towards this side, and walked in front of Zhang Zheng and asked them for a while. A pinch of hair proudly said: "I am the head of Heifeng Mountain, the head of Heifeng Village, the nickname of the rivers and lakes, a pinch of hair, we received reliable news, saying that there was a county order who was reluctant to move back to his hometown, and he also brought two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to pass by Heisong, we waited here yesterday, I didn't expect to come today, the harmful man was bitten by mosquitoes overnight, this account will be settled on your head." Zhang Zhengqing stood up and said: "I am a poor county magistrate in Qingping, how can there be so many gold, silver and jewelry, a box is calligraphy and paintings, and a box is in clothes, we can't even wrap up at home, ask the master of Dazhai to let us go, our whole family will be grateful to you." A handful of hair laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have silver, someone has silver, as long as we kill you, you will naturally have silver." Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly said: "Zhang and you have no enmity in the past, no grievances in the near future, why do you want to harm our lives, I will give you all the silver." So saying, he took out a bag of silver from his bosom. A handful of Mao said with a smile: "You want to send us away with that bit of silver, and you look down on me, Master Zhang." Zhang Zhengqing said: "This is all my silver." A handful of fur said, "If you take out a thousand taels of silver, maybe I can let you go." Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly said: "Even if you kill me, I won't be able to take out a thousand taels." A pinch of hair smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are killed, someone can get a thousand taels, and someone will pay money to buy your life, don't blame us when you go to Hades." If you want to blame it, you will be blamed for your bad life. Then he cried out: 'Brothers, do it.' Kill all the men. The woman kept it and went back to enjoy it. After finishing speaking, he first stepped forward and raised his knife to Zhang Zhengqing. Zhang Zhixian was originally a literati, how could he resist in the face of such a strong man, and he could only be slaughtered by others. A pinch of hair stabbed into Zhang Zhixian's chest with a knife, and he didn't blink an eye, and as soon as the knife was collected, blood spurted out, and Zhang Zhixian shook and fell to the ground and died.

There was a thief who cut the coachman with a knife, and two thieves grabbed Mrs. and Chung Hong and wanted to take them away, Mrs. Wang Cuihua saw that Zhang Zhengqing was killed, and saw a handful of hair after killing people and laughed with a big knife: "This time the owner of the village has made a fortune again." Madame Wang Cuihua was extremely sad and indignant. Biting the hand that the thief had grabbed her, the thief let go of his hand with a cry of pain, and scolded, 'Stinky, you are looking for death. As he spoke, he raised his knife and was about to cut, but Wang Cuihua had already run away and shouted, "Xianggong, you are waiting for me." After shouting, he hit his chest on the tip of a knife with a pinch of hair, and he was also killed on the spot. Chunhong saw that the old man and the lady had been killed by the thieves, and she was afraid that she would be ruined by this group of strongmen, so she hurriedly grabbed the thief's knife and wiped it off her neck, which was also a dead cry. Zhang Qi and Wang Ba saw that the thief was not good, so they led their horses and retreated, and when they saw that the thief killed Zhang Zhixian without saying a word. Seeing that something was wrong, the two hurriedly rode away the way they came, and two thieves were to chase them. A pinch of hair said: 'Don't chase it, let them go with the worthless goods.' ’

Ling'er saw this scene clearly in the grass, her frightened face changed, and she forgot to lift her pants. Although he was grief-stricken, he never cried. When he saw his father killed, he wanted to scream out, but his first reaction made him not call out, Ling'er thought to himself: "Even the parents and their adults have no power to fight back, I am a child who goes out in vain, and the life is small, and no one will avenge the parents' revenge, now I have to find a way to hide to save my life, and then think about revenge in the future, people don't often say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." Thinking of this, he hurriedly lifted up his trousers and fastened them, and swept his eyes back to the thorny grass behind him, and as he was busy crawling towards the thorny bushes of the grass.

At this moment, a handful of hair said: "Didn't you say that this Zhang Zhixian also has a son? Why can't you see anyone, you guys go to the car and see if there is." When Ling'er heard that the thief was looking for him, he climbed faster, and soon climbed into the depths of the thorns, and his body was cut with many bloody wounds, and he didn't feel pain.

The two thieves, Cha Hu and Cheng Pu, rushed to the front of the car in response, lifted the curtain and saw that there was no shadow of a child, so they said to a handful of hair: "Village master, there is no kid in the car, only two boxes, do you want to move back." A handful of hairs said: "What to move, drive the whole car back." Then he pointed to the thieves and said, "Spread out and look for them, and see if there are any children." The thieves looked around, and after a while a thief's foot slipped, and he looked down to see that it was a puddle of, and hurriedly shouted: "The owner of the village, there must be children, you come here to see that there are children here, I don't know where the children have run now." A handful of hair came over and saw that it was true, and said, "This child can't run far, so everyone continues to look carefully." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the neighing of horses in the distance. A pinch of hair said, "Where did this come from?" Cha Hu said: "It's the direction of those two catchers, shouldn't the two catchers come back again." A handful of hair said: "Come back to find death, they don't know how to escape, and they don't dare to come back if they have the courage to do so." Cha Hu said: "Could it be that I have found a helper?" A handful of hairy said: ", where to find a helper in such a short time, you quickly take two people to the front and go down the ridge to see what is going on." In response, Cha Hu led the two thieves to run forward for a while, and the two thieves climbed on the two big trees to watch, and when they looked at it, they exclaimed: "Oh, no, it seems that there is a team of officers and soldiers coming up the ridge under the ridge." Cha Hu said: "What does it look like, you should be careful." The thief on the other tree said: "Look carefully, it is indeed a group of officers and soldiers who have come up to the ridge, and they should go and report to the owner of the village." Hearing this, Cha Hu hurriedly ran back to a handful of hair and said, "Owner of the village, it's not good, there is a team of officers and soldiers down the ridge, what should I do now." ’

At this time, a handful of hair was walking to the thorn bush where Ling'er was hiding, and when he heard that some officers and soldiers were coming up the ridge, he was startled and exclaimed: "How can there be officers and soldiers coming." Cha Hu said: "Could it really be that those two catchers brought it quickly?" Without thinking, he said, "Whoever brought him, tell the brothers to run and take the carriage with you." After saying that, he ran towards Lingdong with a group of bandits.

Ling'er hid in the thorn bushes, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, hot sweat and cold sweat were full of sweat, and his clothes were soaked, and he didn't dare to come out when he saw the thief leaving. After a while, I saw a group of officers and soldiers coming over, led by a general soldier, who was walking in the middle of the team on horseback, and the soldiers in front found several corpses, and a flag officer returned to the front of the chief soldier and reported: 'Lord General soldier, several corpses have been found in front. The chief soldier said: "Could it be that there are robbers in this Black Pine Ridge, you go and take a team of people to the front to check if there are any traces of thieves." The flag officer agreed, and then ran to the front and took a small group of officers and soldiers to the front to investigate.

This chief soldier's surname is Lei Mingpeng, he led the troops to change the guard through this place, and when he saw that there was a murder and thought that there was a robber, he stopped his horse and said: "Pass the order, all the horses and horses go to the shade of the tree to rest for a while." After saying that, he ran to the front of the corpse from a few horses, dismounted and looked carefully, and carefully looked at a man with a familiar face, as if he had seen it somewhere, and thought about it carefully, and secretly said: "I saw a few times when I lived in Sanhe County, that is, Zhang Zhengqing of Nazhi County, and later heard that he was transferred to Qingyuan County to be the magistrate, why was he killed here today, why he didn't wear official uniforms, and he could resign from his official position and not return to his hometown and be harmed by thieves here." He looked at Wang Cuihua again and muttered, "This woman may be his wife." He walked up to Chunhong and said to himself, "This should be Yahuan." He walked up to the coachman Zhou Boss and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, and secretly wondered: "Who is this person, I heard that he has a smart son, why haven't you seen him?" When he turned his head and saw the ruts on the road, he thought, 'This man must be a coachman, and the car may have been snatched by robbers and the child was taken away.' At this time, the flag officer who went to the front to investigate came back and said: "Lord Commander, no robbers have been found near the front.' Lei General Soldier said: Then you don't have to worry about it, you can now take some people to bury these corpses.' He pointed to the bodies of Zhang Zhengqing and Wang Cuihua and said: "Bury these two people together, and bury the other two people in one place."

After Lei Zongbing saw that the soldiers had buried Zhang Zhengqing and them, he asked the soldiers to cut a wooden plaque, and then he personally used a dagger to engrave a line of words "The Tomb of Zhang Zhengqing and His Wife", and asked the soldiers to bury the wooden plaque in front of the grave of Zhang Zhengqing and his wife.

At this time, Liu Liang led a small team of soldiers to rush back, and said in front of Lei Zongbing: "My lord, we chased the car, and we didn't find any children or thieves, and the two boxes on the car were filled with some clothes, calligraphy and paintings. Lei Zongbing said: "The thieves may find out that you are pursuing, so they threw the car down and fled towards the mountains and forests, and the children may be sent home early by Zhang Zhixian It is not known, and the thieves are not easy to pursue when they flee into the mountains, forests and grasses, and the dense forests, you notify them and tell them all to return to the team and continue to hurry." After a while, the officers and men marched forward in a formation holding a large flag, and a big thunder character was written on the big flag.

Ling'er crawled out of the thorn bushes, hid in the grass and watched the every move of the officers and soldiers, he had already firmly remembered these benefactors and enemies in his heart. He secretly said: 'Do I go out to cry out or hide it, if I can't do it, it will be dangerous, or hide and stay alive to save my life, and I have to plan for revenge in the long run.' After the officers and soldiers left, he ran out of the grass to the grave of his parents and kowtowed a few times, and said to heaven: "Father and mother, rest in peace / The children will definitely avenge you, and make them pay their blood debts." ’

Ling'er got up after worshipping, he didn't dare to move forward for fear of encountering robbers again, and ran towards the bottom of the mountain from which he came. Ling'er ran a few miles down the ridge in one breath, he was tired, thirsty and hot, he thought he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't run anymore when he ran, he shook step by step, shook a few times, and finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground and fainted.
