Chapter 59: The Beast Strikes

In the valley in the afternoon, watching the white clouds and dogs floating quietly in the sky is really a rare enjoyment. But Xu Meiling can't calm down and enjoy these.

For the time being, she was still suffering from the period of "post-traumatic syndrome", and the horrific memories of her injuries and experience of being buried alive have not yet been fully recovered.

"The pillar said that at that time you only had one hand outside, and the rain poured iron hard, and he was a person who was never afraid of heaven and earth, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move. It's really weird to say, if you're afraid, you can run, and you're not afraid of the girl's laughter. We mountain people run fast, but the pillar said that his feet were like nails to the ground, and he couldn't move. I guess it's all your big brother's ability! ”

On one side is the old lady's chattering gossip, and on the other side is Huzi's raised dog head with ears up.

The broth in the coarse porcelain bowl exuded a rich fragrance, and after a little observation, Xu Meiling had already recognized those toys that looked like tree roots, which were actually ginseng.

Raising her head and looking nearby, Xu Meiling noticed that some children's faces were revealed in the small door of the wooden house on the side. Not long after, there were also some children in the yard, and the good hall was running around Xu Meiling's side in their eyes.

There were also some other old ladies sitting next to the old lady, and they looked curiously at Xu Meiling, who had just woken up, while talking about the gossip that the old ladies often said.

Xu Meiling looked at the children in the courtyard, in fact, a girl particularly caught her attention. She looks about 11~2 years old, her face is also flushed by the mountain breeze, and her eyes are full of smiles.

"Those eyes weren't like that, she was...... It's ......"

Faintly, in the steam, she could see the scrawny body, the body that looked like a large head because of its bad hair.

"Sister Xu......"

The shrill cries were heard in the dark, so harsh...... Bang...... The sound of gunshots, where did the gunshots come from, Xu Meiling couldn't remember it anyway.

About the little girl noticed Xu Meiling's attention, she slowly approached.

"Sister, are you still in pain!"

Although she spoke with a Shanxi accent, the observation in her eyes also made her feel so sincere. Xu Meiling entered the memories of those fearful scenes and stretched out her hand with a smile.

"Sister, you're so good-looking!"

The little girl said, getting closer to Xu Meiling. Xu Meiling took the little girl's hand, looking at the pain of the winter cracks on her hands, life on the mountain is probably always bitter!

"This little girl has a good bath, if she does, she must be a beautiful little girl!"

Xu Meiling seemed to suddenly think of something, and a name came to the side of the road. Suddenly, she reached out and hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, hugging her tightly as if she was afraid of losing her again. Tears of grief immediately blurred her eyes, and she didn't even feel that her actions might frighten the little girl in her arms!

"Sister Qiao, my hard-working Sister Qiao!"

Thoughts burst out from the depths of memory like a fountain, and in an instant all the tragic and suffocating scenes became clear in my mind.

"We're going to contact the ZLDC and we can't make the same mistakes as before...... My hard-working Qiao sister, it's all Sister Xu who hurt you! ”

Burying her face in the arms of the little girl, Xu Meiling clearly recalled the horrors she had experienced, and she blamed Qiaomei's death on her rash actions. In the midst of her guilt, she couldn't help but cry loudly.

About, in addition to the knowledge, the girls in the mountains have no shortage of guts. Soon, the little girl who was hugged tightly by Xu Meiling got over the initial fear, and the kind little girl stroked Xu Meiling's hair like an adult.

"Sister Xu doesn't cry, don't cry, my mother said that when there is a wound, the more she cries, the more painful it is!"

In the following five days, Xu Meiling's body got better day by day, which can't help but praise the young man with the little pillar.

From the mouths of the old ladies, Xu Meiling knew that he was the head of the charcoal workers here. This is the family business left by his father, because the pillar has a good marksmanship, and he is full of fun, and the people here are still under his control.

During the day, men and strong women cut trees in the woods and worked until it was almost dark. They basically don't have much contact with the outside world, except for the radio that fell from the sky, so that the people who live in the mountains like a paradise know what kind of changes have happened in the outside world.

And in order to recuperate from Xu Meiling's injuries, Zhuzi gave up his house to Xu Meiling, and in order to prevent those thugs in the mine from discovering what happened to Xu Meiling, and the possibility of entering the mountain, he put on a coat every night and slept by the fire with his shotgun in his arms. Except for his companion, except for his dog named Huzi, there are some home-brewed wines.

At night, deep in the mountains, in addition to the whirring wind, there were more wolf howls. The howls of these orphans were heard more clearly, especially on the moonlit early summer nights.

Her health gradually improved, and Xu Meiling, who wanted to leave the mountains and go to the "ZLDC" in the city, began to pack her things, and the pillar had promised to send her out of here tomorrow. She was accompanied by several other men who would carry her on a stretcher all the way out of the mountain to find a place for a vehicle.

Of course, with weapons in their hands, they are also a group of protectors.

Speaking of which, the pillar and his brothers dwelt in this paradise, and there were no taxes or rents. Deep in the mountains, it is hard work and courage. And they, the mountain people, lacked both.

Xu Meiling took advantage of the little light from the oil lamp in the room, packed up her things, and looked out through the pane. Her savior was a man of few words, silent as a rock.

Xu Meiling walked gently and came to the courtyard.

Although she endured the pain and tried to slow down her steps, the greyhound named Huzi immediately turned its head alertly, and when it saw the person clearly, it turned its head again and half-squatted on the ground. Like its owner, it is as silent as a boulder.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm leaving tomorrow, but until today, I haven't had time to thank you for saving my life!"

Xu Meiling said softly, and poured a bowl of wine on the pillar with the earthen jar on the side.

The pillar didn't react more because of Xu Meiling's gratitude, but took the wine bowl silently, took a sip, swallowed it, raised his head to look at the sky, and said a word for a while.

"Did that Lord Yama really fly from the sky to China?"

Xu Meiling was stunned by one sentence, and after a while, she realized that the pillar was talking about Tang Yunyang.

"Lord Yama? His name is Tang Yunyang, and when he came back to China, he did fly back in an airship! He is our current interim president of the Federation......"

Unexpectedly, the pillar's mouth spewing wine suddenly interrupted Xu Meiling's words.

"He is Lord Yama, I have never seen anyone more ruthless than him when he is so big. However, it can be regarded as a Hades who yearns for our people. So Miss Xu, you don't have to thank me, but you have to thank your eldest brother. Seriously, I'd really like to meet him if I have the chance, he's a good guy! ”

—————————————————————————————————————

Before the pillar's words fell, the tiger on the side suddenly stood up with his ears and turned flexibly, and then the hair on his neck stood up, and a low threatening roar came out of his throat.

Bursts of dog barking sounded, and with the mountain wind came the footsteps of I don't know how many people.

Like a cheetah, the pillar suddenly pushed Xu Meiling down beside the fire, and then gave her an order.

"Follow me, don't make a sound!"

The shotgun in his hand made a crisp steel sound, and at the same time his gun was already loaded with bullets.

"Every man in the house guards his house! Hold the door up ......."

He pulled Xu Meiling, and while shouting, he took the tiger and dragged Xu Meiling into the darkness. At this time, Xu Meiling found that Huzi was really a smart dog, and she didn't say a word at this time, but her raised lips showed that it would jump up and bite someone's throat at any time.

Soon after, she came to a big tree with dense branches and leaves, and Xu Meiling couldn't name it. I don't know where the pillar is, and when I pull it casually, a rope appears in front of me.

"Put your feet in the noose, and I'll send you up, and when you're done, pull the rope up, and be quiet in the tree, and don't make a noise whatever happens below! Remember, don't let our people die in vain! ”

When the pillar spoke, there was a fierceness in his voice. In the stern gaze, there was a look of no doubt at all, and she trembled nervously, Xu Meiling had no choice but to nod and hurriedly agree.

By the time she sat down on the branch of the tree, which was hidden by the dense foliage, the sound of gunfire had already sounded below. In the darkness, she could see the glow of torches and flashlights, and in those flickering lights there were many dogs and how many thugs were the same as that day.

"Peng...... Peng ......"

The sound of muskets slightly stopped the crowd approaching. However, the shortcomings in firepower were immediately apparent. Although the mountaineers were more accurate in their marksmanship, the only seven-shot shotgun was in the hands of the pillar, and the others were only flintlock muskets using medicinal gourds and flints.

Xu Meiling, who knew the ferocity of these earth and mine thugs, couldn't help but cover her mouth, she believed that it was absolutely inevitable that misfortune would go on like this.

"Oh my God, what kind of bad luck have I brought to the people here!"

Among the attacking group, there was obviously no shortage of muskets and pistols, and the muskets were firing continuously, and the flickering light was like the flash of a camera, and the dense fire soon overwhelmed the mountain people.
