Since the school has a total of five days off from August 12 to August 16, Wu Zheng helps Luo Xudong with his work in the field every morning and morning, and goes to herd cattle in the afternoon as usual.

On the fifteenth day, all the work of the field was done. The crops that should be harvested have been reaped, and the winter wheat has been planted. After dinner, the two of them sat in the courtyard for a while, although the bright moon was high, after all, they were not their own grandchildren, and when they didn't arrive, Luo Xudong, who felt bored, went back to the house and lay down.

Wu Zheng didn't feel the slightest sleep, sitting alone in the quiet moonlight, even more quiet and empty courtyard, with his hands on his cheeks, thinking about the fifteenth year with his grandmother last year, and thinking about the sentences in "Lingxiao Nine Styles".

"There are a thousand kinds of light, and there is one potential. Drive away the darkness and go straight forward, without hesitation. Walking in the dark night, although it can be seen from afar, it is not deep when it enters the clear water. ......。 ”

There are a thousand kinds of light that are easy to understand, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, and so on. Including the literal meaning of the above sentences, Wu Zheng can also understand it, but what is the "potential" of light?

Wu Zheng, who couldn't figure it out, subconsciously took out the thumb-sized diamond-shaped logo that he had kept close to him from his arms. First, I rubbed it in my palm for a while, and then gently pinched it with two fingers and put it in front of my eyes to observe the bright moon in the sky.

Looking at it, Wu Zheng was surprised to find that the word "Ling", which was originally vague and barely readable, became very clear.

I didn't know if it was because of the moonlight or something else, but I looked at it again and again for a long time, but I didn't find any clues, so I had to put it away again. My thoughts involuntarily returned to the reflections on the "potential" of light in "Nine Styles of Lingxiao".

As if he had an understanding, but he couldn't explain it clearly, Wu Zheng bathed in the bright and quiet moonlight, and gradually forgot himself, forgot everything around him, and forgot where he was.

It wasn't until the cry of the big green cow in the cowshed that Wu Zheng woke up and knew that it was time to add night materials. Wu Zheng had just stood up, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found a black shadow at the courtyard gate flashing away. Before he could raise his feet and chase after him, he saw a black dot coming straight to his head. In a hurry, he shook his head to dodge, and then heard a "click" sound on the ground behind him.

I didn't bother to look at what the black spot that had just landed on the ground, so I hurriedly ran out of the yard, stood on the street and looked around for a while, and saw that there was no trace of people around, so I had to turn around and come back, and walk along the place where the "pop" sound came out just now. I found that there was a small paper ball on the clean ground that had always been cleaned, and after turning my head to look around again, I bent down and carefully picked it up.

It was a little heavy to start, and I gently opened the paper ball, and there was a small pebble wrapped in it. And on the paper ball that was opened, there were four faint handwritings. Apparently written in a hurry, with a small unburned stick. By the moonlight, Wu Zheng recognized the words "dangerous and quick escape".

With doubts in his arms, he walked out of the courtyard gate again, and ran down the street until the end, but still did not find any figures. Wu Zheng pondered the meaning of these four words, and guessed who intended to warn him.

Soon Wu Zheng understood what the "danger" mentioned by the warning person meant, it must be that the news that he was still alive had reached Wujiabao, and Wu Jizong in Wujiabao would never let go of him.

What to do?

Wu Zheng returned to the courtyard, first added the night food of the big green cow, and then quickly hid in the dark shadow where he could see any movement on the street outside the courtyard, the northeast corner of the courtyard, and the east window of the north house.

"Do you really want to run away regardless of it?"

Wu Zheng was very conflicted in his heart, knowing that once he escaped, he would never come back. But how can I repay the grace of saving my life? Not only here is Luo Xudong, but also Mr. Zhen Qingyi, who can't be worthy of his conscience without saying goodbye.

Suddenly, at the edge of the village near Nanxi in the south of Houpo Village, there were several fierce dog barks. Wu Zheng must make a decision, otherwise it is very likely that he will never be able to escape again, obviously the people from Wujiabao have already entered the village.

First of all, Wu Zheng thought that he couldn't continue to stay in Luo Xudong's yard, otherwise it was very likely that innocent Luo Xudong would be involved in the next fight. must not repay the grace of saving his life, but bring another killing disaster to Luo Xudong.

Thinking of this, although Wu Zheng did not decide whether to escape from Houpo Village and fly away, he had already decided to leave Houpo Village temporarily and hide in the mountains behind the village first.

Luo Xudong's home was in the northwest corner of Houpo Village, and the back of the yard was close to the mountain behind the village.

didn't run far, Wu Zheng was worried that because those people couldn't find him, if they hurt his benefactor Luo Xudong, it would be an unacceptable consequence.

Not long after he hid, he heard the mooing sound of the frightened big green cow and Luo Xudong's shouting. In the blink of an eye, a fire broke out in the yard, and Wu Zheng knew at a glance that the cowshed was set on fire.

Then Luo Xudong exclaimed one after another:

"It's water, it's water, come and put out the fire. ”

At the same time, Luo Xudong kept calling his name:

"Qiu Zheng, Qiu Zheng, it's out of the water. ”

I couldn't help it, and just as I was about to emerge from the bushes, I saw several black shadows jump out of the burning cowshed, and after a rough count, there were as many as seven people. Wu Zheng was wondering why Wu Jiabao sent seven people for himself, and the seven of them actually fought in the open space behind Luo Xudong's house.

As the villagers of Houpo Village, who were awakened, rushed to put out the fire in a panic, Luo Xudong's angry shouts became louder.

"Who are you?! Breaking into people's houses and setting fires in the dark is simply inferior to beasts. ”

The seven black shadows in the fight were obviously worried that it would be difficult to get out after being surrounded by the neighbors who rushed to fight the fire, so while fighting, they moved towards the bushes where Wu Zheng was hiding, seeing that it meant to enter the mountains behind Houpo Village.

"Don't run yet!"

Suddenly, a reminder sounded in Wu Zheng's ear, which obviously deliberately changed his voice. I just turned my head and didn't see anyone. Wu Zheng also understood that if the seven people in the fight got closer, it would be difficult to get out. Moreover, now that the fire in Luo Xudong's house has been controlled, Luo Xudong's life will not be in danger, so the cat bent on his waist and ran eastward instead. Only in this way will you not be blocked in the mountains by the seven people in the fight.

While running, I guessed that the person who warned him twice should be a person. Besides, the seven people who fought under the moonlit night were definitely not all from Wujiabao, otherwise it would never have been possible to fight each other. It's just that Wu Zheng can't think of anyone other than Wu Jiabao who would be interested in him.

At this moment, Wu Zheng, who was running on the cat's waist, suddenly noticed that the fighting sound just now had stopped, and not only that, but also heard an extremely familiar voice:

"Chase him, he fled into the mountains. ”

It was Wu Chun's voice, Wu Zheng involuntarily stopped and turned his head to look behind him, and sure enough, he saw a black shadow with extremely sensitive skills, which was rising and falling among the shrubs and trees in the mountains.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Zheng was both puzzled and full of gratitude. Needless to say, the two warnings were leading the seven men who had come to him into the mountains in order to create a chance for themselves to escape.
