Light Keeper

Chapter 325 This Mission Is A Little Difficult 2
One spring afternoon, when the weather just got warmer, the Zhang family of four survived another cold winter day.

Zhang Dalang took the hemp rope and ran out to collect firewood.

Erlang also followed some men, women and children in the village to dig some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Sanniang took her daughter Baozhu to rub hemp at home, planning to weave some homespun cloth to wear when the season was not busy.

There is a lot of work at home, and Zhao Sanniang is like a spinning top, never idle for a moment, but she is used to it!
After all, it has been like this for so many years.

But this day seems to be a little different.

The sky was slowly getting dark, and just after a while, the sky began to rain in spring.

Zhao Sanniang's heart was flustered for no reason, she greeted Baozhu, and quickly went to the door with her umbrella to have a look, if she saw the eldest brother and second brother, she went to greet her.

Baozhu was already 11 years old at this time, and she knew how to do housework, and she did many such things.

He agreed, took the umbrella and went out.

The orb hasn't returned for a long time, and Zhao Sanniang feels like sitting on pins and needles.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, brightening the dark room for an instant, and the sound of thunder approached, making Zhao Sanniang's uneasiness even stronger.

The spring rains are fine and dense, and there are very few thunderstorms.

Zhao Sanniang was sweating frequently on her forehead, and finally decided not to wait any longer, and chased them out directly.

There was no one in the village, and the sound of her breathing seemed to be the only one in the world.

She walked down the dirt road to the foot of the mountain, where she saw the most painful scene in her life.

There was thunder in the sky, and the people on the ground screamed and groaned in pain.

I don't know when, a group of soldiers from a neighboring country actually crossed the two defense lines and entered Zhangzhuang.

They were ferocious, burning, killing and looting.

In the face of women and girls, the methods are even more cruel.

Zhao Sanniang's heart tightened, she didn't know where the strength came from, she grabbed a stick beside her and rushed directly into the group of soldiers.

At this moment, her mind was blank and she was completely insane.

Where's Dalang?
What about the orb?
Where's Erlang?
She didn't know what kind of mood and energy she had, or pulled or pushed away the crowd one by one.

She also doesn't remember how she got up after being kicked and beaten...

She didn't care about it, and after a long time seemed to go through a century, she finally found the orb despite the wind and rain.

That little disheveled body just fell on the side of the dirt road, with a disheveled bun, a messy body, and two round eyes, which had lost the brilliance of the past.

Her hands were still tightly clutching her collar, and the blood spitting out of her mouth was like a poisonous snake, tightly entwining Zhao Sanniang's heart, tightening it tighter and tighter.

At this moment, Zhao Sanniang felt as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer.

She wanted to hug Baozhu, but it was difficult to do so.

Only then did she realize that she had been stabbed countless times all over her body while rushing over.

Covered in blood, she knelt beside Baozhu.

At this moment, the hatred in her heart was overwhelming, but this kind of hatred could not make her stand up and kill all these beasts, it could only make her soul unable to escape even if she died.

The moment she fell to the ground, she saw blood flowing into small rivers at the foot of the mountain.

Among them is a river of blood that belongs to her Erlang!
She kept spitting blood foam from her mouth, and these blood foam infected the body that was still warm with the orb.

The pictures of her life flashed back in her mind, and she wanted to ask God, what did she do in this life? !

Song Shuyun didn't open her eyes, but she clenched her hands tightly, trying to suppress all these negative emotions.

It's not the first time she has done something like this.

But this time was different, this time she hadn't gotten rid of this negative state, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, followed by a sweetness in her throat, her body arched uncontrollably, her head tilted, and a "wow" protruded A mouthful of blood.

Baozhu, who was squatting on the ground weaving mats with Erlang, was frightened and cried on the spot when he saw this.

Erlang also knelt down in front of the kang with a pale face.

"Mother, mother... what's the matter with you?"

Erlang is now thirteen and knows a lot of things. Instead of shaking Song Shuyun, he reached out and tilted Song Shuyun's head slightly, then carefully took out a square scarf, and gently wiped the blood on Song Shuyun's mouth wipe clean.

His cracked little hands were pitch black and trembling slightly.

"Mom, can you hear the child?"

Song Shuyun spat out blood, relaxed a lot, and nodded slightly.

"Don't be afraid, mother is fine, just rest for a while and you'll be fine!"

Saying hello to Baozhu, who was standing aside and crying loudly.

Seeing that Song Shuyun had indeed improved a lot, Baozhu gradually stopped crying, and followed Erlang's example and knelt beside Song Shuyun's head.

She sobbed and said, "Mom, are you feeling better? Mom, are you hungry? You've been lying down all day!"

Song Shuyun felt it carefully, and felt weak for a while, but she was not hungry, so she shook her head, stretched out her hand and patted Baozhu's small head.

"Mother is not hungry..."

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Baozhu burst into tears again.

"Ah... Mom, you must be hungry! Mom, are you hungry!"

Song Shuyun was confused, but she didn't understand why.

Erlang gently pushed the orb at this moment.

"Mother just said that because she was reluctant to eat, so hurry up and bring the food!"

When Baozhu heard this, she stopped crying, looked at her second brother and then at Song Shuyun, burst into a snot bubble from laughter, got up and ran out.

Seeing this, Song Shuyun had some guesses in her heart, and said to Erlang: "There is not much in the house, and you are all growing up, so it will not be a problem if you miss a meal!"

As soon as Erlang heard this, the worry in his eyes dissipated a lot.

"Mom, it's okay. Big brother is going to dig wild vegetables! If it doesn't work, I will go into the mountains tomorrow! When I grow up, no one in our family will starve to death!"

Song Shuyun sighed leisurely.

"I will talk about the matter of entering the mountain later, life is always going on!"

The two were talking, and Baozhu came in with a big bowl missing a tooth.

Song Shuyun supported her body and sat up. Erlang stood up and asked for help, but she did not refuse.

After serving the bowl, there was a bowl of mush inside, boiled with wild vegetables and wheat bran.

There is no fine grinding here, and the taste of wheat bran can be said to be the most unpleasant thing Song Shuyun has ever eaten since she had so many tasks.

But she saw that her saliva was about to stay, but she still looked forward to the orb she drank, and Erlang, who looked worried but didn't say a word, closed his eyes and drank it in one gulp!
Baozhu was a little relieved, but also a little regretful, and on the way to bring the bowl back, she licked it again, and then ran back happily.

Song Shuyun ate and regained some strength, but she didn't get up, but comforted the two children a few words, then lay back down, pretending to close her eyes and rest her mind, ready to accept the task.

At this moment, she heard Baozhu whisper: "Second brother! I said Dunzi lied to me! Our mother can still eat! She won't vomit blood and die like Dunzi's mother did! You said Yes or no?"

When Erlang heard this, his face became serious.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, and avoid dealing with them in the future!"
