Just when the man wanted to stun the woman and then slowly deal with it, someone had already quietly approached.
The wooden stick came with a sound of wind and hit the man on the back of the head hard.
Under the fierce blow, the man's head was dripping with blood instantly, but he was not fainted yet and wanted to look back to see who had done this to him.
But as soon as he turned his head, Xu Errui swung the stick again. This time, the man didn't even say a word and fell to the side with a plop.
The woman was being choked so hard that her eyes were filled with stars when she suddenly felt her neck being loosened. Before she could see clearly what was happening, she saw the man who was holding her down fell to the ground with blood coming from his head.
She was startled by the sudden appearance of two men in her blurred vision, but she had experienced so many things that this shock was only a brief shock.
"Thank you... thank you two..." Her throat hurt and her voice became hoarse.
But before he finished speaking, he heard the boy shouting tremblingly: "It's really Sister Chunfeng!"
"sister in law!"
The woman looked up suddenly as if frightened, trying to control her voice: "Are you Xiao Man?"
It had been two years since she left Xujiacun, when Xiaoman was only thirteen years old.
Now before my eyes...the skinny little child has grown taller and stronger.
Xiaoman nodded vigorously: "It's me, sister-in-law!"
Xu Errui also recognized who the woman was just now. He was surprised and said: "Sister-in-law Chunfeng, why are you here?"
"I...why are you here too?" Chunfeng felt that he was speechless, why did Xiaoman appear outside the village.
Xiaoman pointed to the mountain: "We are on the mountain!"
Chunfeng's eyes were full of hope: "You...your brother..." She didn't dare to ask anymore.
Xiaoman nodded: "My brother is fine!"
A smile instantly broke out on Chunfeng's dark and thin face, and there was even a hint of flushing and shyness.
But this was not the time to talk. The man who was knocked down next to him was still twitching, as if he was about to wake up.
Xiaoman said: "Sister-in-law, come with us quickly and don't go back to the village!"
Chunfeng didn't move. She looked at Xiaoman and Xu Errui and said, "You guys go outside and wait. My pants were torn just now. I need to clean them up!"
Only then did Xiaoman and Xu Errui react.
Chunfeng's sister-in-law was bullied. They only saw that her clothes were torn. Now her sister-in-law reminded them to climb out of the ditch and wait outside.
Xu Errui had just hit someone in a hurry, but his hands were still shaking at this time. He came out of the ditch and said hurriedly: "Xiao Man, what should I do with that person?"
Xu Errui and Xiaoman had buried dead people and used feces to detoxify corpses. They were no longer the simple children in the village in the past.
It's just that it's one thing to hit someone in a hurry, but it's another thing to kill an unconscious person.
But if you don't keep silent, if you know that there are people living on the mountain, you will definitely be in trouble if you are found.
Xiao Man touched the hatchet on his waist and gritted his teeth with a sullen face: That man bullied his sister-in-law and must die!
He thought that he had discovered someone building a shack in his old house, but he never thought that it would be his sister-in-law coming home.
Fortunately, Aunt Jiang came last night and said that her sister-in-law was in danger. If something happened to her, she would regret it.
No matter what, that person must die!
Just when Xiaoman made up his mind, a short scream suddenly sounded from the ditch.
The two people outside were so excited that they quickly jumped into the ditch.
There was no unconscious man in front of him, only a corpse with a hole in its head.
Chunfeng put down the stone with brains still stuck in his hand and looked at the man bitterly: "This man is the leader of those workers. If he wakes up, he will be in trouble."
The military camp has recruited some refugees to work, and this man is the leader of the refugees. He also has a few friends around him. If he wakes up and sees Xiaoman and Errui clearly, he will cause trouble for everyone in the future.
Xiaoman looked at Chunfeng with horrified eyes: "Sister-in-law, you didn't even dare to kill chickens before."
Chunfeng showed a hint of bitterness: "Because there was your brother at that time!"
Xiaoman was silent. When the elder brother was still in good health, he could bear the sky with all his strength. Everyone hid behind him and didn't understand or care about anything.
She could no longer stay here, and Chunfeng would not return to the village. Anyway, apart from a straw mat, there was only a broken earthen jar in the shack, and all her belongings were with her.
Chunfeng found her cloth bag that had been thrown into the ditch.
Nor can the bodies of men be left behind.
Xiao Man and Xu Errui already had experience in handling corpses. The two lifted the dead man and walked along the ditch. Chunfeng followed staggeringly, and soon the three of them disappeared into the vast woods.
Two hours later, the three of them appeared on the top of Laoyunya Mountain.
Chunfeng walked faster and faster. When she first got married, she followed Xu Dazhu to her charcoal shed and knew this road.
Just as the corner of the charcoal shack came into view, Chunfeng seemed to have lost all her strength. Her legs became weak. She grabbed the branches beside her and squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.
When Xujia Village was burned, she thought that the Xu family had fled, so she waited in the ruins, thinking that even if she died, she would die in the Xu family.
After going through so much, I thought about all kinds of situations, but I never thought that people were right next to me.
From death to life, the huge surprise brought tears to her dry eyes.
Xiaoman and Xu Errui followed silently, their eyes were dry at this time. Sister-in-law Chunfeng had cried several times along the way, and she didn't know whether her eldest brother and grandma would be able to bear it later.
Just when Chunfeng stepped onto the stone dam in front of the house, Xiao Mannai was coming out of the house carrying a basket of beans.
She caught sight of the woman who suddenly appeared and stood stunned for a moment before her dim eyes recognized the person: "Chunfeng, Chunfeng, is that you?"
"Milk!" Chunfeng knelt down with a plop, her red and swollen eyes filled with tears.
Xiaomannai moved her mouth, trying to say something but couldn't. Her body was shaking a little and she couldn't stand, and the beans in her hand also spilled.
Chunfeng quickly stood up and supported her: "Nai, sit down, don't worry!"
Xiao Mannai finally said: "Silly girl, why are you here again!"
"Nai, this is my home!" Chunfeng's voice was hoarse and hoarse.
In the room, there was a sudden commotion, and then there was a sound of falling.
Everyone looked over and saw that Xu Dazhu had rolled from the kang to the ground and was trying to crawl out.
"Brother Dazhu!" Chunfeng stood at the door.
She wanted to walk over, but her feet seemed to be stuck, and she wanted to cry but couldn't.
The couple had been separated for two years, and they looked at each other blankly.
Knowing that his eldest brother and sister-in-law had something to say, Xiaoman picked up the overturned bean basket and helped his grandmother, who was wiping tears, out of the shed.
Outside, he whispered in detail about how he met his sister-in-law outside the village, but he didn't mention the person who was bullied in the ditch. This was an agreement between the three of them.
Xiao Mannai cried and shook her head: "What an injustice! If I had known she was in the village, I should have picked her up!"
In the shed, Xu Dazhu stared at Chunfeng and gritted his teeth: "You are already married, so you should live a good life. What are you doing here, are you here to see if I am dead?"
Chunfeng had calmed down and walked over to help him: "You promised me to live a good life, why are you so thin?"
Xu Dazhu pushed her away and raised his hand: "Go away, I said, I will beat you to death if you come to Xu's house again!"
Chunfeng changed her previous behavior of crying when she said she wanted to leave, and stretched her head directly in front of him: "Fight! You fight! If I'm beaten to death, I'll be buried next to you!"
Xu Dazhu raised his hand high but could not put it down.
His eyes fell on Chunfeng's neck, as if he had been stung by a wasp, and he said urgently: "Where did the injury on your neck come from? And these..."
Only then did Chunfeng remember what happened at the foot of the mountain, and quickly covered it up: "It's nothing, I bumped into it accidentally."
In addition to the injuries on his neck, Xu Dazhu also found that Chunfeng's hands were full of scars, and a little finger was broken...
The formerly shy and tender little daughter-in-law was so haggard that her already thin body was as thin as a piece of paper.
His heart ached like a knife, and he raised his hand and gently touched his wife's face: "You fool! Why are you so stupid!
I am a useless person now. I can no longer bring you back thorns, pick flowers for you, or hug you. If you follow me, you will suffer..."
Chunfeng finally burst into tears and covered his mouth: "Brother Dazhu, I don't want thorns or flowers. I'm not afraid of hardship. I only want you."
Nini hid behind the quilt in the corner of the kang, and the bamboo mannequin in her hand fell off. She just stared blankly at her father and the strange aunt hugging each other, crying and laughing...
